He really took the time to explain why I was experiencing my symptoms, and went over all the necessary exercises with me, as well as explaining to me the most effective way to continue treatment taking into account the specifics of my insurance. Appreciate his help, definitely recommended.
September 11, 2019Sara B.Verified patient
Great consultation visit. Staff and Dr Baranov were friendly. Dr Baranov was helpful, knowledgeable, and explained himself well. He could have tried to upsell treatments and have me come in to do the exercises he recommended, but did not pressure at all. It's clear he prioritizes what's best for his patients. Highly recommended.
June 10, 2019Craig M.Verified patient
The doctor is professional. The assistants are attentive and competent; they don't do physical therapy in a hurry, do spare me much time. I felt relief after the first visit already. Very satisfied
May 29, 2019Artem K.Verified patient
Doctor M. Baranov was very kind and attentive to all my complaints. Wait time was between 5' to 10' minutes, and gym room specialists tried to help and guided working with the equipment, correcting the approach, position and posture. The feeling was much better than before the appointment. I was glad. Thank you very much.
May 27, 2019Salomon G.Verified patient

Dr.Michael was very professional, genuine and comforting. All staff workers were polite and everything went smoothly. After only being there for an hour my son felt a huge difference. Well worth a travel! Highly recommend!
September 26, 2018Balqis A.Verified patient
Dr. Baranov lives up to his five star reviews. It was my first time ever seeing a DPT for a lower back muscle strain so I came in with little to no expectations. He performed an in-depth assessment and clearly explained my problem then immediately had me start a treatment regiment in his gym. I left feeling a lot better than I did in coming and look forward to my next sessions!
September 17, 2018Victoria H.Verified patient

Dr. Baranov really cares about his patients. He spent nearly an hour with me my first visit to examine and discuss treatment for my injury.
The rest of the staff ranges from pleasant to satisfactory. There is rarely any wait time for most of the treatments they offer. It can seem a bit unorganized at times but they treat you well and get the job done. Highly recommended.
December 1, 2017Daniel Z.Verified patient
Every person on staff was warm and open! Dr. Baranov was very knowledgeable and helpful in terms of what my next steps would be. He knew what options to offer immediately after I told him my issues and made me feel secure. I would happily recommend him!
September 20, 2017Felicia H.Verified patient

Professional and accommodating at all timea even there was a whole mixup with a fax from my pcp that meant the timing got thrown off, and that made a really positive impression on me. Very good experience here. Great office and equipment too.

I am SO happy with my visit with Dr. Baranov. The staff was nice and friendly and Dr. Baranov was really pleasant and helpful.

Dr. Baranov was very approachable and friendly as were his staff. He was able to figure out what was going on pretty quickly and had me up and running with my treatment plan straight away. Looking forward to seeing how my condition improves over time.
June 8, 2016Mutkallim S.Verified patient
So the doctor himself seems to be ok, however the therapy is not actually done by him but by a bunch of random people. I am not sure that any of the people actually have the corresponding degrees. Most of the people there have terrible attitudes and are very rude. Since i start my physical therapy there itd be hard to change now but I wouldnt come back. It is a huge mess
June 17, 2016Ricardo A.Verified patient
The best physical therapist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! Took his time to explain everything to me, from the causes to the treatment and next few steps. Never any wait time. Truly cares about his patients. Everything in the office is also brand new and very clean. Definitely go to him.
More than 1 year agoKsenia P.Verified patient
Im lucky I chose Michael Baranov, DPT. I felt comfortable, and as if he was listening to me, not just going through the motions. I feel like he truly has concern and caring for his patients and I have no qualms about recommending this Practioner of physical therapy to anyone that needs attentive care.
March 10, 2016Jean M.Verified patient
I love this Therapist. Michael is kind and he really knows what he is talking about. He explains everything in a way anyone can understand and he makes you feel comfortable.

I would definitely recommend this office! The receptionist is super nice. The waiting time was minimal, probably 5-10 min.
Dr Baranov is very professional and knowledgable. He explained what was wrong with my knees and I got treated right away. He answered all the questions that I had and was very caring. The nurses at the office are also very nice. I enjoyed having a great conversation with one of them during the massage she gave me. And oh boy, she is amazing at what she does and I've had a lot of massages in the past.
So all in all, my experience was very good and I look forward to coming back.
