Dr. Shari Goodhart is terrific. She's attentive and thorough. The practice takes place in a large gym with others working out around you. This is a tad bit of a distraction but not enough to make me give any less than 5 Stars as the attention and work were top-notch.

Shari did a great job of explaining the approach to address my issue and walked me through the exercises really patiently, as well as recommending me to a doctor. Overall had a really good experience for my first time doing physical therapy.

It was a much needed visit to go here for physical therapy due to back pain from working which requires lifting. Their Physical therapist Shari Goodhart found areas where I was having issues and helped make my back feel better. Since seeing shari I was able to go back to work without any pain

Dr. Shari is one of the kindest professionals I’ve had the privilege of being treated by. She is extremely knowledgeable, but communicates in terms anyone can understand, carefully checking not only your symptoms but that you have proper form while completing exercises (I’m a former dancer so I have a solid knowledge of anatomy and too often have seen PT’s who fail to do this either due to lack of patience or experience). On a personal level she is calm, funny, and comforting, never condescending or dismissive. She always asks you to communicate what you are feeling and is encouraging without ever pushing you too far. She also regularly attends workshops to expand her knowledge of new methods, which was so helpful for my type of injury. She introduced me to a new series of exercises that are the first ones that have not exacerbated my injury (which I’ve dealt with on and off for 15 years.) You can tell it’s not only her career, but a true passion, which makes an enmorous difference as a patient. I sincerely look forward to my appointments and always leave in a better mood.

I've been training for the NYC marathon and Shari has helped me with my chronic calf issues and tendonitis. Highly recommended!

I've gone to multiple PT specialists and no one has really taken the time to understand my needs like Dr. Shari. I've been consistently seeing her for the past few months and have seen drastic changes in my shoulder mobility and really don't have anymore pain. I would highly suggest her to anyone who is looking for a PT specialist in NYC!!!

Shari has been working on my bilateral hip labral tears and has helped me avoid getting surgery, and successfully run and workout without pain. I have referred other friends and family to her as well for other types of injuries, and all have been more than satisfied with their results. She is responsive, approachable, and very friendly.

Dr. Shari is super friendly with a great sense of humor, but she also works her patients (appropriately) hard to get the results they're looking for. She also takes the time to explain what to look for when doing each exercise (what the patient should be feeling or working) so they know it's being done properly. She also explains how the muscle groups work together and why various exercises will be beneficial.
For patients like me who aren't great at balance and coordination, she's also ready with all sorts of modifications so that I can do an easier version of the exercise, until I build up the strength and stability to do the whole move properly.

For your Zoc doc review:
Wonderful experience! Dr. Shari is incredibly friendly, considerate and knowledgeable. She makes you feel comfortable from the second you meet her and takes the time to design a customized treatment based on your needs/ injury. I injured my knee before my first half marathon and I wouldn’t have been able to run without her. Wonderful experience! Dr. Shari is incredibly friendly, considerate and knowledgeable. She makes you feel comfortable from the second you meet her and designs a customized treatment based on your needs/ injury. If you’re in pain do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Shari!

Shari is highly professional and knowledgeable about physical therapy. I get treated for neck pain but I've seen her work with varied clients and she always has challenging exercises built for everyone's recovery. She does not administer a one-size-fits-all approach, every move is catered to benefit your needs.
Shari is also a lot of fun to chat with, she makes the visits fun and is always engaged in your treatment!
