My go to place for PT in NYC! I see the same guy each time and it’s nice that he’s not multitasking with other patients.

I really like David's work, it really helps when I'm lifting heavy.

Amazing team. Extremely friendly and great holistic approach.
October 27, 2020Michael B.Verified patient
Dave is great. Awesome energy, very helpful. Would recommend!
February 16, 2017Arpan P.Verified patient
The best PT experience. I came in with a pretty painful back injury and from the first appointment I felt relief. David immediately helped ease my pain and sent me home with exercises that actually work. I’m finally starting to feel like myself again. On top of all that he’s an absolute pleasure to be around, as is the entire staff. Couldn’t recommend more!
November 17, 2025Madeline C.Verified patient
Was a hassle free process - highly recommend

Incredible experience! Feel very lucky to have found someone so knowledgeable who was willing to spend extra time with me testing all possible root causes for a more complicated injury than I anticipated.
July 11, 2025Sara G.Verified patient
I was seen quickly and doctor had friendly bedside manner. He did very little to help my condition though. They seem busy with a lot of patients. Not sure I would go back.
July 1, 2025Initials hidden
The provider was 30 minutes late for my appointment, he did not apologize for being late nor acknowledge that he was late. He was not very gentle with my injury. I did not leave feeling better. While they did inform me after the appointment they didn't take my insurance, it wasn't what I was expecting and the investment was not worth it as I am still in pain. I've had other providers address this issue in the past and they were able to help me. Overall it was not a pleasant or professional experience.

I had really bad back pain with shooting pain down my leg and it helped me so much. It was the most relief I have felt since I got injured a few weeks ago and I am so glad I found this place!

Manuel S.Verified patient
From my very first appointment Dr. David and all of the staff have been a GREAT!! Help to me and my back situation. I went from constantly being in pain to learning how to manage it better. With their help I’ll be summer ready soon

Great bedside manor- I’d highly recommend.
January 10, 2023Barry H.Verified patient
He was very nice and took a holistic view and was not just focused on my injury, but on what caused it and how we could prevent it from happening again. Fantastic experience all around.
December 31, 2022Peter S.Verified patient

Very knowledgeable PT. I would highly recommend.

Had a great first visit with Dr. Gerskovich. He understood my issues and worked with the staff chiropractor to help reduce pain and muscle spasms, and gave me some exercises at home between visits. Happily going back in a couple of days.
Krystina K.Verified patient
It was a great visit and I'm really happy I found a place so close to home and so convenient! They were super friendly and accommodating and really attentive. Have started my recovery program so I've had two sessions and look forward to learning more about my body and how to look after it better.
September 27, 2021Karen N.Verified patient
Very thorough and comprehensive
May 6, 2021Jordan R.Verified patient
Super nice easy going person, took time to explain things, how this would work etc. I've never done PT before so was pretty unsure of what to expect but he walked me through it and how it would go etc. Also really engaging and funny which always helps. Beyond that the space is bright, and the other people who work there seem friendly. Would recommend for sure.

Very informative and professional. I will be returning again in the next week to continue working with Dave and his great team.
November 14, 2018Peter D.Verified patient
Prompt and helpful - gave good medical advice, administered treatment, and I left feeling like I had a clear picture of what to do.

David and his team are great. Not only is he by far the most effective physio I've worked with, his office is also one of the easiest to work with.
Definitely recommended if customer service and flexibility is important to you.
September 17, 2018John W.Verified patient
Very friendly and really listened to my issues. Made sure to address what I was struggling with currently but has a clear plan on how to holistically help me down the line.
July 10, 2018Abby B.Verified patient
I highly recommend David Gershkovich! He is very professional and very personable. The treatment helped a lot and he also showed me how to continue exercising at home in order to improve my health. Bedside manner is excellent.

Everyone here is so friendly and helpful. I’ve only been going for a few weeks but I’m already feeling better. I’ve done a decent amount of PT in my life and this is by far the best place I’ve gone to
Melissa H.Verified patient
Dave is amazing. He cured my back trouble, helped me get really strong and stable to avoid future problems, and is now working with me on flexibility. He is very knowledgable, a great therapist, and also very kind. I've never had to wait in his office and he's been flexible with me when I've had to change appointment times. Truly I could not recommend Dave more, he is the BEST.
Beth L.Verified patient
Dave is an excellent and talented PT. His office is always extremely accommodating and the staff are tremendously helpful and work together to achieve maximum wellness. Highly recommended!
November 30, 2017Julia M.Verified patient
David and his team are exceptional. He is attentive and knowledgeable. From the moment I entered, he assured me he would work through my recovery and he really did.
Jordan K.Verified patient
Dave and his team are excellent PTs. After suffering through chronic pain and countless PT visits with various popular PTs, the pain is finally abating. This is entirely due to the personal treatment philosophy of Riser as well as the careful attention of his staff (especially Michael Nadel) to my holistic health.
June 22, 2017Initials hidden
David is an absolute professional and has helped me overcome multiple body complaints. He approaches any and all problems you have in a systematic way and is committed to finding the right health care solution for you. I highly recommend David as a PT as well as the other multiple number of health care providers that work with David including Chiropractors, Pilates instructors and Acupuncturists.
Robert A.Verified patient
David did some very specific work on my ailment, and adjusted as needed as we progressed. Really helped with something I thought was hopeless. Feeling good now.
