Regarding the Morris park location I wouldn’t go back unless I was personally asked to and maybe even paid to. I was left sitting there for over 30 minutes, while employees were standing around, sitting, talking etc on top of them asking each other what I was there for. From the moment I walked in I kept hearing how tired and swamped they were and how they wanted to go home well it was definitely evident. 1 employee was extremely rude but you can tell she just wanted attention. There’s no proper communication nor bedside manner yet they flood you with texts about appointments. They also charge for everything no matter your age nor insurance. Felt like I was back in high school or middle school sadly. I can’t even tell you a single employees name

I cannot recommend Pooja Sharma highly enough. From my very first session, it was clear that her is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but also genuinely cares about each patient’s well-being and progress. Her took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, explain everything in a way I could understand, and tailor a personalized plan that addressed both my short-term pain and long-term recovery goals.
Each session was a perfect balance of challenge and encouragement, and I always felt supported and motivated. Pooja’s professionalism, attention to detail, and warm demeanor created a comfortable environment that made a big difference in my healing process. Thanks to her, I’ve made tremendous progress and regained strength and mobility I didn’t think was possible.
If you’re looking for a physical therapist who truly goes above and beyond, look no further than pooja. I’m so grateful for the care I received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Pooja was really attentive and patient. She gives very specific instructions on how to do the activities that need to be done. I have been suffering from a heel pain for a year and as of late I have been experiencing trouble when sleeping because of it, but within just 2 visits with her I have started to experience a significant improvement in my pain and I’m really happy with the results. She has been really supportive and curated a whole set of exercises that I could actually do. So I would highly recommend her!!!
