Dr. Malkin sees too many patients at once and it doesn't feel like there's a good level of personal care with her.

she immediately knew what was wrong with me, and I am excited to keep working with her to fix my shoulder!
January 25, 2017Donald S.Verified patient
Wonderful....really details what you are up to. Personable. The entire staff could not be any nicer.
June 25, 2014Stuart F.Verified patient

First few sessions I felt great about the exercises for a long term injury I've had. However, after weeks of attending there was no clear plan or timeframe on how I would improve. We would revert back to simple exercises I'd done in the first few sessions rather than progressing forward. When I'd ask how many more sessions I'd need, there was never a clear answer which I had never experienced with other PT's.

Do you have a minor injury? Then I would recommend Dr. Malkin. She yanked my chain for over 2 years, never gave me a long-term care plan as I requested multiple times. She takes a very zoomed-in approach to your rehabilitation, whereas most injuries need a holistic approach. I am seeing a different PT now and am finally seeing the results that Dr. Malkin never delivered on. She doesn't communicate well at all and I wouldn't recommend her if you're serious about your care. I feel like a fool for seeing her for so long.

Ally is the NICEST. I've had knee problems for years but they've recently been aggravated by an unfortunate laundry incident. Ally saw me quickly, took my history, assessed what was up with my wonky knees, and treated me efficiently and hilariously. She was approachable and funny and helpful and made me understand what was happening in a way that made total sense. I can't recommend her highly enough and I can't wait until my next visit!
More than 1 year agoLindsay K.Verified patient
Highly recommend
June 19, 2019Scott M.Verified patient
Would recommend if you are of the age of 40+ I'm 23 and saw no progress after 2 months. In addition, they are unclear about billing for your co-pay. Sometimes they asked sometimes they didn't so make sure you are on top of it. Also, they billed me as if I didn't have insurance to try and get a bigger payout which is unprofessional.
Overall fair experience.

My first visit today. I Liked Alexandra immediately. No BS, right to the point. Front desk very polite and the office was clean and painted in a beautiful yellow color. That's all I can say after the first time.
Looking forward to my next session.
December 4, 2018Dorothee B.Verified patient
Ali is AMAZING! Not only did she quickly relieve the pain in my back/neck but she also asked a TON of questions to pinpoint and diagnose what I may have been doing at home which was slowing my recovery. She makes herself available for any questions in between appointments and often checks in to see how you are feeling. I can’t say enough good things about her.
September 27, 2018Asha L.Verified patient
I love Ali so much! Went in for some microdiscectomy post op PT. Her bedside manner is top notch. I’ve never been a fan of physical therapy because I never felt that it really did anything, but with Ali I actually experienced results. I’d recommend her to absolutely anyone.
March 7, 2018Ally H.Verified patient
She was barely in the room and didn’t listen to me. She also didn’t explain anything and I had to ask. The office was not great either. Pretty much a waste of time and money.

Really helpful. Thank you!
February 5, 2018Nina S.Verified patient
AWESOME !
January 17, 2018Akiva H.Verified patient
Alexandra is a great professional, I felt all the time that I was in good hands because she knows what she is doing when she treats you and you feel it.
The receptionists were nice and I waited 5 min as maximum.
I was there for a knee problem and I will be under trearment, after a couple of sesions more I will update this review.
Absolutely recommended!
December 4, 2017Alvaro C.Verified patient
My problem area did get better under her care. However, a few complaints. She sees so many patients at once. She'd bill my insurance for so many services and codes, often times things she had not even done for me. The billing department charged my card on file for slightly different amounts than the EOBs. She has a bit of a harsh personality and wants to get into your business. Eh.

My initial appointment with Allie was great and my ongoing physical therapy treatments are going swimmingly well. With her expert guidance, I've made great strides in improving range of motion and strength.
February 28, 2017Leah R.Verified patient
I had a knee click, and Ali knew exactly how to fix me! She explained the source of the problem well and gave me simple and effective exercises to do over the course of a few sessions and at home. She made me feel at ease, and my problem resolved super quickly with her help. Thank you so much, Ali.

Not only is she a knowledgeable professional, she is incredibly personable. Honestly, my PT appointment was almost fun. I highly recommend!
July 28, 2016Rebecca N.Verified patient
Dr. Malkin was not only respectful, she was friendly and engaging. Her course of treatment really helped with my back and side problems, and she always kept me up to date on the progress we were making. She pushed me without making me feel awkward and she got to the root of the issues as opposed to just looking for the first thing to blame it on. If I ever need a PT again, I will go back! If you need a PT, I cannot recommend her enough!
July 14, 2016Ashley B.Verified patient
Ali was seriously incredible. She listened to me and recommended wonderful steps to help with my hip pain. I will continue seeing her until I have healed from my injury and I cannnot recommend her enough. Knowledgable, with a wonderful bedside manner and easy to talk to.
June 20, 2016Regina H.Verified patient
I have only had one appointment, but I am already very impressed, and I feel comfortable that I am in the right hands. She seemed extremely knowledgeable, particularly regarding my specific condition, and refreshingly candid. I have already scheduled my next three appointments with her!

I just had a great first appointment and I've already seen tremendous improvement is my flexibility and range of motion. She is extremely knowledgable and thorough, with an excellent bedside manner!

Great
March 1, 2016Tal M.Verified patient
Ali was fantastic. I was seen immediately with a last-minute appointment due to severe back and neck pain. She was thorough, knowledgeable, and compassionate.
January 5, 2016Mary C.Verified patient
Dr Malkin is very friendly and took time to answer all my questions. She advised on the treatment for my injury and discuss ways to reduce the pain caused by it. Fully recommend
October 16, 2014Initials hidden
Ali was very friendly, she took the time to do a thorough assessment and to plan a suitable treatment. I am a physical therapist myself and it takes a lot for me to see someone for my injuries, but I was very happy with the service provided and will be visiting again soon!
August 20, 2014Alysha G.Verified patient
I thought she was very thorough.
June 25, 2014Lois R.Verified patient

June 30, 2014Stuart F.Verified patient
The entire team is great. It's not just Ali. It's Erwin and Brian at PT personnel, and the staff as well. Very personable. It's been a great improvement after a few weeks with my torn achillies.
May 5, 2014Stuart F.Verified patient
very nice.
March 10, 2014Stuart F.Verified patient
Ali was lovely. She was gentle, witty, and thorough. She explained her processes and made me feel like I had her complete focus when she was with me, despite the fact that she had several other patients to attend to. I liked her a lot and I feel confident that her treatment will effectively heal my ankle. The office was clean and the staff was friendly, and it was a great experience.
November 19, 2013Brittany D.Verified patient
She was very professional and thorough. Ali explained exactly what she was doing and why, and was very friendly and easy to talk with. I've only been to her for one appointment so far, but I trust she will do a great job!
August 22, 2013Noelle R.Verified patient
Ali is great! She has really helped me through the phases of a stress fracture injury and is helping me get back to running safely. Everyone at the office has been really helpful and accommodating. Brian, another PT at the office, is great too. They have both talked me down when I was getting discouraged and kept me on the right track.
August 16, 2013Molly M.Verified patient
Ms. Malkin is very professional and knowledgable in respect to her field. As a new patient, I hope to have continued good experiences and results with the therapy sessions. I will note thou, that the patient checkup rooms could use some renovating/decorating. They appear dingy and not very pleasant to wait in. Otherwise, the front desk and main equipment area is fine.
More than 1 year agoAnna P.Verified patient
The office is conveniently located. The front desk staff is friendly. The office manager introduced herself and is also very cordial. "Ally" is very thorough. She asked a bunch of questions really trying to figure out the issue, and offered her e-mail for questions. I look forward to my next visit.
