First off let start with I booked my appointment in Zoc Doc, Zoc Doc showed Dr Melville had an appointment available for today Sunday June 9th at 2:00pm so I booked it and when I got to the office the office was closed so I checked my Google and saw that refuah physical therapy is closed on Saturday and Sunday but are open Monday to Friday not to mention I did not see any business hours posted on the door of Refuah physical therapy. So I called Zoc docs customer to make a complaint about my experience and they informed me that it was the business who updates the info for their business on Zoc Doc.

Dr Melville is the man, super attentive !
January 19, 2022Phillip W.Verified patient
This office is prepared and professional. You better be ready to work it’s physical therapy which means you’re going to move if you can. They are hyper aware of your safety and ask for feedback on positions and corrected me when I was unsafe. Courteous, smart and professional! Just how I want my healthcare professionals.

The best therapist on Staten Island. I've been to many and Rich had my wrist healed in a matter of weeks. I highly recommend this facility.

I love coming here, my thanks you to Rich for patience, time professionalism, I'm feeling 'great again'. It feels great to be walking again.

I met with Rich to discuss with him a pain I had in my forearm. He evaluated the situation, provided a weekly ecentric exercise and within a few weeks regained full ability in my arm. Very satisfied.

Dr. Melville has given me my independence back. After spine surgery I thought I would never walk the same. Working hand in hand with my therapist I feel 100% like my old self again.
