Lacks bedside manner and empathy for pain. Good at his job but lacks soft skills.

Counting down the days until I see Dr. Lee again! He really helped relieve my knee pain from running, and I noticed a difference in our first session. Dr. Lee took the time to explain what was happening with my joints and muscles, clearly describing what was causing the pain and his treatment. The entire staff is friendly, approachable, and genuinely cares about their patients. Highly recommend!

August 22, 2025Rohith B.Verified patient
This may be the best PT practice that I've been to, out of 5 or 6 in my life. Very thorough PT that took their time, diagnosed, and explained everything. The appointment also came with a 10-15 minute massage plus electro therapy.

I was amazed that the doctor could figure out all the problems just by looking at my body about my pain. The massage was also great. I will definitely come back.

Best PT i have had in manhattan

Dr. Lee is so knowledgeable and able to figure out the main root cause of my issues. I get to learn exercise routines for my each visit which will be helpful in a long term.
I get the massage session after which has been the best message I’ve gotten anywhere else.
Other staff member who helped with coordinating was super friendly and provided me with extra information about how my body will be affected by pregnancy and how getting Physical therapy can help.
Highly recommended!

Always a great experience!
December 4, 2024Esmee T.Verified patient
I’m on a healing journey, which includes mental healing from the psychological impact of injuries and pain, and I need a provider with a bit more empathy. The doctor is very, very knowledgeable and intelligent, but lacking personal connection. I also couldn’t see the doctor without first signing paperwork that said that a bunch of things had been explained to me that had not. For example, something along the lines of “the doctor explained the risks of X, Y and Z to me.” I asked if I had to sign it and they said yes, but it wasn’t truthful because those things had not been explained to me.

Visited today after my friend recommended going here. They were nothing short of amazing. Found the core of my issue right away where other PTs haven’t so far. Extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Very holistic in their approach. I highly highly recommend them (actually already did to two other people since leaving their office today. Also very much appreciated the appointment starting on time and no wait times.
September 3, 2024Esmee T.Verified patient
Friendly staff, effective methods, comprehensive approaches and clean office. They combine physical therapy with massage therapy, chiropractic therapy and accupuncture to tackle your issues (if your insurance covers them all). I was seen by Mr. Lee for the first visit and currently seen by another PT at the office who’s also been very helpful. I came for a physical therapy after I had an injury but after 3 visits, I’m seeing so much improvement. I’m happy that I finally found the PT office that is serious about helping their patients. Absolutely recommended.

I had a wonderful experience here, I was seen by both the PT and the massage therapist who were all very professional. I would highly recommend Kyoungtae Lee as a PT and would love to come back again.

Doctor was very knowledgeable and helpful with diagnosing the main causes of my shoulder issue. Very clean office and good location
March 12, 2024Michelle J.Verified patient
Dr Lee is very knowledgeable about the muscular / skeletal system of the human body. He got to the root cause of my problem fairly Quickly. Very nice bedside manner. 2 thumbs up!!
November 20, 2023William S.Verified patient
I’ve had to use PT in the past for another issue but have felt they hyperfocused on the immediate issue rather than the WHY it was happening, Kyoungtae Lee identified the why - before assessing the immediate problem, he looked at my posture, my ability to perform some fairly simple tasks, he tested the strength of my limbs and isolated a possible cause to th resulting injury. Lee was analytical in his approach. I also worked with their massage therapist who clearly knew what he was doing, showing me how one limb was not as tense etc. He explained his work, and was definitely very knowledgeable about tissue and muscle issues. ~This was the BEST analysis and beginning of solving a problem I’ve had. Very good. Also their front desk staff was professional and helpful and the entire office was meticulous.
October 23, 2023Meredith K.Verified patient
I thought I understood my muscles, bones, and postures better than non-theatre people. But after Dr. Lee’s diagnosis, I quickly realized. There are so many different muscles I have been using incorrectly which I didn't know!
This entire time, I was experiencing some pain which became my normal. Words cannot describe the relief I had after Dr. Lee fixed my muscles and taught me how to use them correctly.
With 2 physical appointments I had with him, I'm more grounded in my acting, and my singing sounds better. Highly recommended to everyone!

Very friendly and PT was very helpful
September 18, 2023Janie A.Verified patient
Went in for wrist/forearm pain. I knew it may be from my wrist position while on the computer. He agreed and explained that this causes the muscles/nerves to shorten, thicken up and get painful. He diagnosed parts that may be strained now and explained them to me. He explains things in a friendly manner. We then did some wrist exercises together, electric and heat therapy, then a massage therapist came in. I really like that he counts for you / has little encouragements for each rep, it makes the session fun and not awkward. PT Lee came back and we did some final exercises. He taught me an exercise to do everyday and proposed a treatment plan.
September 6, 2023Jainnielyn G.Verified patient
Mr. Lee is super professional and know exactly what I need to fix my bad posture. He is so helpful and this therapy exactly what I was looking for! I so glad that I met him.

Came here for muscle imbalance issues. Team quickly pointed out the causees and how to fix it. currently working with the team to correct the issue. Great overall experience.
July 24, 2023Kaliel A.Verified patient
My experience with Dr. Lee was a great one!Very clean and calming environment.. He took my pain seriously & the stretches were challenging but left my hand feeling brand new. I’m very happy I found this office since I’ve been in a lot of pain- I use my hands everyday as a dental hygienist & Dr Lee gave me a solid plan to continue working with him as well as teaching me stretches to do on my own time! Unfortunately my insurance deductible is too high & I paid out of pocket for my visit but it was worth every penny to me!
July 18, 2023Mariah W.Verified patient
Super recommended for getting rid of your lower back pain. Also teaches you positions and exercise to get better by your own. Very happy with the results

After first 10 minutes I immediately knew I could trust Dr. Lee 100%. I didn’t realize that I’d see results already after the first session. The way Dr. Lee listened and then explained diagnoses and plan was really amazing.
March 11, 2023Vladimir Z.Verified patient
Dr Lee had a friendly attitude and expertise that was helpful in relieving some acute back pain. He clearly explained what he was doing and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The office was very clean and modern. Would highly recommend!
January 17, 2023Rahul M.Verified patient
Wow. Relief! FINALLY! I've had this chronic upper neck/back pain for a little over 5 years now, I've had massages and see chiropractors but none of them were able to help me although they tried. Somehow I always felt the pain still lingering.....UNTIL I saw Dr Lee. He's amazing! His communication skills are top notch, he explains everything to you as he helps adjust you. My first visit with him and I finally felt so much relief as he was able to get to the root of the pain. Even better, he gave me a few tips for exercising and he left me with an assignment to help improve until my next visit. I 100% recommend! 100%
January 12, 2023Joel K.Verified patient
Dr Lee was friendly, patient, and spent a lot of hands on time evaluating and treating my stiff back condition. He took me through a number of guided stretches that I haven't been able to achieve in years, and his ability to find and target my trigger points along my neck, mid and lower back was magical. can't wait for my follow up appointment!
January 6, 2023Elton L.Verified patient
He is amazing! Got me in same day and was so knowledgeable and professional. I am so glad that I found him!! He helped my knee so much.
