I had an outstanding experience with Akanksha at her practice. I went in for pelvic floor therapy and was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and professionalism. The practice is impeccably clean and welcoming. Akanksha greeted me with a warm smile each visit and took the time to answer all of my questions with clear explanations about my condition. She ensured that every patient received timely attention, and her dedication to providing excellent care is truly evident. Highly recommend her services for anyone needing physical therapy!

Dr. Rathod helped me tremendously after a double bunionectomy. In just a couple of months I’ve gotten so much stronger in my toes and my range of motion is close to how it was pre-op. Her pace was comfortable and the results speak for themselves. Her new Hoboken office is clean and modern.

My neck pain has started feeling better after seeing her.
