“Dr. Mecner is a fantastic physical therapist! As an athlete (power lifter) and professional dancer/teacher, my needs are very specific. Dr. Mecner met and exceeded all of my expectations. His background in sports and experience with caring for athletes was very apparent in how he worked with me. For my first visit, he took time to get a detailed history and communicated very clearly, he then did a thorough exam and got to work on exercises to address my injuries and weaknesses. After my appointment, he sent me the list of at home exercises to continue. I highly recommend this physical therapist, especially for athletes.”

“Highly recommended! I went there twice already, this year and last year for a right ankle injury (partially torn ATFL). I worked with Mike Mecner and his team. Everyone was dedicated and attentive and the team worked around my work schedule. This is my new go to PT practice going forward”

I have had the most amazing and rewarding experience during my physical therapy sessions at Evolve. Michael Mecner and his team were professional, helpful, accommodating and great to work with. I always felt that my sessions were so helpful in terms improving my condition. I am very sad that my time has ended, but I feel absolutely amazing.I can not put into words how grateful I am for my experience at Evolve with Mike and his team. I would whole heartedly and with all confidence recommend Evolve, with Mike and his team in Park Slope, for anyone needing Physical Therapy.

I love Evolve! This is my second time graduating from physical therapy there after various knee injuries. My PT, Mike M., is always so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. But he doesn't go easy on me! I always feel like I'm in capable hands with him & the rest of the support staff (shoutout to Rebecca, Tara, and Justin) If I get injured again (fingers crossed), I'll def be back!
The one thing that's a bit cumbersome is scheduling/rescheduling appointments. There's no online scheduling system, so you have to call or do it in person. It seems like most of the PTs also text their patients (and their numbers are available on their business cards), but I hope they upgrade to a different system. Overall, though, it's always an amazing experience. Couldn't recommend them more!

The team at Evolve were great and helped clear up my upper back issue. Took the time to listen, ask questions, and form a plan.

Mike is knowledgeable and calm. He’s methodical and thoughtful with his interventions. He stands out as a great conversationalist and listener and always remembers things we have talked about! That bedside manner is a lovely difference because I can tell he knows what is really going on for me.
