Very unprofessional. Did not see therapist appointment was made with . Told my consultation would take too long & office was busy . 2 different therapists did evaluation. Told after spending 1 1/2 hrs there that they wouldn’t accept my insurance. I specifically called office to verify before hand.

First of all, the sheer amount of paperwork required to see this PT is mind-blowing. I had to fill out over 10 pages of redundant questions. They ask for information that is not even relevant to them.
The Richmond Avenue office is NOT ADA-compliant. You would think "PHYSICAL THERAPY", would be in an accessible building, it is NOT. The office is DOWNSTAIRS and the stairs are pretty steep. I could not climb down and left without being seen.
Their second location on Forest Ave is in one of the worst neighborhoods on Staten Island and has no parking except on the street.
I would look elsewhere for your PT needs as will I.

Today I had my first physical therapy appt and I am amazed that I walked out of there and I already felt an improvement. I had concerns about the prescription my dr gave me and she gave me a much better description.

May 12, 2022Elaine M.Verified patient
I was in need of physical therapy. After calling two offices that were recommended to me and finding out they didn't take my insurance , I decided to do my own search. After reading her positive reviews, I made an appointment with Dr Bhatt last night and I was seen at 12:30 pm today. I am very pleased with my first visit.
March 1, 2022Christina D.Verified patient
AMAZING!!! My neck had gone into spasm, which also went up my head and down to my shoulders. I could not move my head and had pain so bad, I could just cry and yell out. I was seen immediately. Dr. Bhatt new exactly what to do to help me. It was especially impressive, because she also knew how I was feeling, being in such a state. She was able to explain this to a family member who accompanied me, while at the same time reassuring me that I wasn't going crazy and that I had a right to cry and yell based on what was happening to me. She calmed me down and even made me laugh. She helped me be able to move my head and lessened my pain considerably. The next time I was able to come for treatment, I was given a different doctor by chance. Dr. Bhatt saw me in the waiting room and was so happy that I appeared to be doing so much better. She wanted to know how I was feeling and wanted an update on my condition. This was done out of pure kindness and concern for my well being. I am so grateful to her, especially for her patience, understanding and skills. I was in absolute despair and received treatment from a first rate doctor...
AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!!
