“Was a great experience! Took the time to listen to all of my concerns and answer all of my (many) questions. Used a lot of metaphors that helped me to understand what is going on with my knee and subsequently my hips, spine, etc. Also referred me to an excellent ortho.”

“Nothing but the best. He knows his work, very informative, he's concern and better than most doctors I know. Would highly recommend him to anyone. In fact I have already recommended him.”

He knew my exact problem even though it was hard to identify. And attacked the problem. I think I am starting to feel better now. But he was precised and dedicated! Thanks doc!

HAREESH "HARRY" PALLAPOTHULA IS THE BEST!!
You are a very Kind, Professional, Knowledgable, Patient, Organized, Thoughtful and EFFECTIVE physical therapist. Cannot wait to see him again.
April 9, 2015Megan G.Verified patient
Greg is the best. His office takes walk-ins, so appointments don't always start on time, but that also means he's very flexible when you run late. His bedside manner is great; he's chatty and will discuss hot-button topics like religion and politics, but if you say "I don't want to talk about that" or "I don't feel like talking today" he'll immediately drop it. He speaks a million languages and is really nice in all of them. And I think his hands are magic.
January 30, 2015Rose F.Verified patient
Professional and incredibly helpful for my foot injury. I'm going twice a week for six weeks and it's starting to feel better already.

The appointment was fine. The only thing was I did not have my appt with Gregory Zakursky. The admin person called me the day of the appt and said my 10:00 AM appt (scheduled for the next day) was no longer available (I had made the appt the night before close to midnight). Can you do 11:00, she said. I said, yes. When I get to the office and am in the room with the PT, he says his name is Mike. I was a little perplexed but Mike was very thorough and professional and I am following up my care with him.

December 6, 2014Iris L.Verified patient
Talkative. Knowledgeable, Informative and pragmatic. I am confident he will make me well.
The office is bare bones aesthetically, but I am there for physical therapy not to steal decor ideas.
Courteous staff. I barely had the chance to sit down in the waiting room before I was called into my appointment.
Thumbs up all around.
November 24, 2014Thomas M.Verified patient
Greg and his staff provided the most comfortable and excellent physical therapy that I could of had after my hip replacement surgery. Look forward to using them again!
August 25, 2014Larry T. T.Verified patient
Dr Zakursky is very personable, interacts well, and provides excellent physical therapy. I've tried numerous physical therapy agencies but Dr Zakursky is by far the most exemplary and well rounded physical therapist.
August 16, 2014Nicholson B.Verified patient
This man was amazing and his hands are very soft. He walked me through the steps that he was going to do and constantly made sure I was comfortable. After leaving his office I was very relaxed.

He did a excellent job using massage to work on those tender and sore muscles. However, he only did two stretches on me and showed me only one stretch to do at home. He didn't write anything down for me or tell me how often I should be stretching. Or, give me any guidance on what kind of exercise I should be doing. He needs to spend a little more time and me a little more through with the home exercises he gives.

Dr. Zakursky was great and took the time to answer all of my questions. He was very hands on and understood my goals to return to top physical performance!
September 9, 2014Javier G.Verified patient
The Pitkin Ave office is a bit hard to find--you have to go into the medical office and then down into the basement--but Gregory is fantastic. He has terrific hands and does a lot of hands-on work including very strong therapeutic massage, stretches, and exercises.
I get the sense that the office doesn't always run on time, so allow a little extra time in case your appointment goes late.
July 28, 2014Rose F.Verified patient
I made an appointment which was booked. I received a call from the offvice stating I could not see the doctor without a referel. I should have been told this prior to making a booked appt.

I've been to this clinic twice before and finally saw Gregory on my third appointment with him. He was excellent! He answered all of my questions and had wonderful hands. Highly recommended. FYI - he only works at this clinic on Fridays.

No pain, No gain! Greg works out all the kinks in the area of treatment. I could not have chosen a better place to do my preparation and rehab for my hip replacement surgery. ?????

Dr. Gregory is very helpful and knowledgeable of my knee issue. He took me right away and thoroughly explained everything to me with concern and patience. I am very happy I have him as my physical therapist and he has a flexible schedule. I would recommend him to anyone.
January 19, 2013Erica H.Verified patient
Dr. Z was very personable and professional. He listened to my injury history and made thorough inquiries to properly assess my situation. However, some of the other therapists in his office are not quite up to par.
