“Greg is great! He’s a patient listener and sets a plan of action. I was nervous about doing any chiropractic adjustments, but he was very reassuring and calming and has helped me relieve my back pain.”

“First impression is very positive, definitely an upgrade to the PT, I've left. It's more like experience I hear about in the community. Looking forward to my next appointment. The first time I'm actually taking home exercises very seriously. ”

Attentive care! Greg would explain your conditions and his treatment thoroughly and pretty straightforward. I felt better after one session. Hope the pain will go away after future sessions with him and the team!

I know I’m getting all the attention and proper care when I come in. I’ve been going to them since 2015, usually every 2 years after I do something stupid and they always do what’s needed to get me back out running (ultras). We always joke that I hope I don’t see them again but if I do, I know it will be ok. Highly recommended as they are great people who do a great job.

I’ve had chronic neck and black pain for years. After a couple months of seeing Greg once a week, I can’t believe I know what it feels like to not be in discomfort. He has made a tremendous difference in relieving pain, improving posture, and I look forward to my weekly treatments. Greg runs a respectable practice - he is trustworthy, down to earth, and knows what he’s doing!!

"Midtown East Physical Therapy" lives up to the "ME" P.T. experience, just as their initials reflect. This practice is a true and rare gem in the heart of the city. It is a very private, quiet and personal, full-fledged setup they have going. The one-on-one with their really exceptionally knowledgeable and well-versed doctors who attend you makes every encounter under their treatment that much more reassuring, whether you're there just for maintenance or for more serious recovery. You're not a number on a medical chart. It certainly makes recovery faster, and best of all, you always know where to go for what you need to keep going.
Their operation is supremely efficient. I have never been kept waiting, despite a consistent flow of widely diverse clientele, all with an equal array of spanning needs. This is 100% real positive treatment, not a spa-type place with bells or whistles or smoke or mirrors - not that there's anything wrong with those places, it's just that with these guys you always leave actually feeling physically better than when you arrived (consequentially emotionally, as well), but their treatment lasts... it doesn't expire a few hours later.
I've come in for various recovery needs I've had over the past few years (ankle, knee, lower and upper back, hip, wrist and neck), followed all their at-home exercises and I've always recovered better and faster with less challenge every time. They get to know YOU and what your body needs by how you respond and what will work for you to get there. In my mid 40's my body isn't what is used to be in my more athletic youth, and before having kids... these guys have gotten me back on track every time, making this guy feel 100% and understanding how to turn the clock around.
I've worked with Dr. Gregory Trakhtenberg (Tues/Thurs) and Dr. Dmitry Shestakovsky (Mon/Wed). Both superb, perfect professionals with exceptional bedside manners in attending you, especially if in pain. They've directed me to phenomenal specialists in my more serious cases which kept the circle of support and care acute and tightly woven. They're always accommodating with scheduling, even following up with me towards any progress when coming in was too challenging, making sure the home exercises were working to get me back on my feet.
I've had a long history throughout my life with many physical therapists, chiropractors, and sports physicians, and these guys are just the premiere cream of the crop, hands down. I trust and recommend them a thousand percent, a million times over.

It was a very pleasant experience. I have been to many PT offices, and Greg's knowledge, expertise, & skills are far more superior.

Great sense of humor and friendly banter distract from the inevitable pain of the recovery process, and combined with quick and long lasting results make it the best physical therapy experience I have ever had. Highly recommend!

Very knowledgable and showed great patience and care in dealing with my injury. Like visiting a good friend who happened to be a Physio therapist.

I came in with a muscle spasm in my shoulder, the appt. was urgent as I'm going away on a trip, Gregory performed all the necessary procedures followed by medical massage and I felt better. Going for a follow up appt. next week. Thank Gregory.
May 23, 2013Olga B.Verified patient
Gregory is a very personable doctor and that's important. My last doctor was in and out and because of that I was misdiagnosed. I understand we all make mistakes but that's no reason to rush things a long. Mr. Trakhtenberg is the opposite and takes his time explaining the procedures, stretches he assigns you, and the causes of your particular problem.
