I came in unable to walk comfortably for long periods nor play sports. After seeing Stephanie twice a week for some weeks I feel much better. We also tackled unrelated injuries to the one I was referred for and that was big for me. I carried injuries with me for years and was used to living with them, now I know how to treat them. I’m very happy with my experience with Stephanie!
JOVerified patient
Dr. Stephanie is excellent at her job. Great bedside manner, extremely thorough, detailed, and knowledgeable. Lots of medical professionals are careless, lazy, untrustworthy, and impatient with patients' questions - Dr. Stephanie is the OPPOSITE of that - she's great.

Went to see Dr. Stephanie after taking off my splint post elbow injury. Two months of sessions and I’m feeling strong and healthy again! Dr. Stephanie is super nice and kind. Was able to accommodate for the time slots that I preferred.

Dr. Stephanie is an amazing PT! In each session I felt relaxed and confident to tell her how my body was feeling, and she gave me so much insight into the parts of the body and how they function together. She communicated a clear and effective plan for recovery and always met me where I was at in recovery. I highly recommend her for any injuries or pain!

I’ve been doing online physical therapy with Stephanie for a few months now, and I’m honestly blown away. I didn’t think virtual sessions would do much for my lower back pain, but she proved me completely wrong.
She starts me off with some yoga stretches and then works me up to what she calls “gold exercises” and they really are gold. I’ve gotten so much stronger and my chronic lower back pain is completely gone. Stephanie knows her stuff, explains everything so well, and genuinely cares. Highly recommend!
RZVerified patient
Dr. Stephanie was very hands on and discovered the point of pain. She worked the muscle and around it. We also did exercises to strengthen the areas around the shoulder. Highly recommend!
JKVerified patient
I had a great experience with Dr. Stephanie. After just a few sessions, I was able to work out again without hip pain. She gave me helpful modifications for my lifts and exercises to do before training, and they made a huge difference. Highly recommend!
NZVerified patient
Dr. Stephanie is the best! She’s a great listener and an expert. She helped me address an issue that’s been bothering me for years, and within just a few months it’s almost resolved. I highly recommend her.
JJVerified patient
Dr. Stephanie made me believe that pain can truly go away with exercise and her healing hands.
As a mom of two toddlers, working full-time and holding everything together at home, I struggled with years of neck pain. I met Stephanie in tears, overwhelmed and in severe pain. She was incredibly kind, and for the first time I felt someone was really listening, not just treating my symptoms.
I was skeptical about exercising at the beginning, but she kept encouraging me. She’d say, “We’ll start with easy exercises until you feel confident for more.” After months of working with her, my pain is gone. I’m still exercising on my own to stay strong and live without pain.
Thank you Steph for your patience, kindness, and encouragement. You’re truly amazing!
MVVerified patient
Dr. Stephanie is truly amazing a highly skilled physical therapist who combines deep clinical knowledge with genuine compassion and care. She takes the time to listen, understand each patient’s unique condition, and create a personalized treatment plan that actually works. Patients feel supported, motivated, and confident under her guidance, and her results consistently speak for themselves. She is a rare mix of professionalism, warmth, and expertise, making her one of the best therapists any clinic could have.

Stephanie was my PT’s substitute for a week and I didn’t want to go back! She earned my loyalty with just one session, and is still my favorite PT ever. Very caring, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable

Stephanie is very knowledgeable and compassionate PT. She is a very good strength coach. If you are looking for an amazing PT in midtown, you should see Stephanie
AAVerified patient
Dr. Stephanie Cruz is truly a godsend. Her ability to pinpoint the problem and build a long-term rehab plan that can be done independently is remarkable. I have painful degenerative osteoarthritis in my hip from an accident and Dr. Cruz was able to bring immediate pain relief after one session. What I liked best from our sessions is that she left me feeling stronger, more capable and much more optimistic about my situation. Her positive outlook and actionable plan helped change the course of my recovery and just life overall! Thanks Dr. Steffi!
KJVerified patient
I’ve seen many physical therapists in the past, and most of them simply asked me to correct my posture without really explaining how. Dr. Stephanie takes the time to explain the details of the human body, makes everything easy to understand, and helps you not only get started with the exercises but also stay motivated for the long term. She’s incredibly dedicated to her patients. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Dr. Steph!
MOVerified patient
I’ve been seeing Dr. Steph for a while for my shoulder pain, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I really appreciate how she explains the cause of my pain in simple, clear terms and takes the time to walk me through every detail of my rehab program. She’s truly passionate about her work, you can definitely feel it. Thank you, Dr. Steph, for being my go-to place whenever I need help.
CJVerified patient
I had a great experience with my Stephanie . She quickly identified the cause of my neck pain and guided me through targeted exercises that brought real relief. Professional, attentive, and genuinely caring—highly recommended for anyone dealing with muscular/movement issues.”
CFVerified patient
As a runner and someone who works out a lot, it’s always been hard for me to find a physical therapist who really understands my lifestyle and my needs. Dr. Stephanie’s background as a trainer sets her apart from everyone else. She’s super knowledgeable when it comes to explaining exercises and anything sports-related, and I honestly enjoy every session with her and I’ve learned so much about how to take better care of my body. Highly recommend her!
DEVerified patient
As a seasoned endurance athlete who regularly trains for triathlons and marathons, I highly recommend Dr. Stephanie Cruz for any physical therapy needs. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, articulate, and hands-on in all the best ways. Her bedside manner is warm, professional, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients. Every injury or issue I’ve come in with has improved significantly within just a few sessions.
What sets her apart is that she’s an athlete herself—she lifts, runs, and cycles—so she truly understands the physical demands required to train and perform at a high level. With her expertise, I’ve not only recovered from injuries, but have also learned smarter ways to train, modify my workouts, and ultimately become a stronger athlete.
DRVerified patient
As someone who loves to stay active, I’m so grateful for Dr. Cruz. She helped me recover quickly and taught me how to move smarter and stay injury-free.”
