“I've only had one appointment but I'm pretty happy with my choice to see her. I am in my 30s with psoriatic arthritis. She listened to what my limitations and what my goals are and we set a realistic plan. I have hope for the first time in a while that I'll be able to get back to yoga soon! ”

“I have had to see Sharry Wallach four different issues over the past three years and I am so glad I found her! She is very knowledgeable and understand my challenges and is able to give me exercises that, when I do them, work! She’s clear and concise and skilled at what she does. I highly recommend her!

I felt very listened to. She really took the time to understand what I was feeling to get to the bottom of it. We are working together to figure out the best course of action for healing, and that makes me feel extremely comfortable.

Dr Wallach was a great listener and carefully explained the therapies and exercises we would be doing. . She was very knowledgeable and patient. I’m looking forward to relief from the arthritis pain in my right hand with more visits!

Dr. Sharry is great. She gave me exercises to improve elbow mobility. I developed wrist problems and we're working on wrist strength now.
The office staff that deals with insurance is very disorganized. Three times they have cancelled appointments the night before or the morning of because of insurance paperwork that they already had on file, and two of those times it took two full weeks to get back on the calendar.
Two weeks is a long time to go without medical care because of a problem with the office.

Dr. Sharry is great!
Orthology’s insurance and billing office is a mess. Three times they have waited until the night before or the morning of to cancel an appointment, twice delaying treatment for two weeks.

I am very impressed by the team at Orthology. Sharry Wallach is a wonderful Occupational Therapist and has helped strengthen my hands, reduce pain and increase flexibility. I'm so happy I found her!

For the first time ever I had ZERO wait time. Dr. Wallach was very attentive and patient and really helpful! One of the best doctors I’ve seen here in NY.

Sharry is the real deal! She is sweet, personable, friendly, and most importantly is amazing at what she does. Sharry takes a thorough and well - rounded approach to her treatment, which for me, has brought fantastic results. I had surgery performed on my hand, which left a large scar and significant scar tissue. Sharry knew the best way to break down the tissue - She massaged the area, gave me personalized exercises, streched me out, and tried a few different healing methods to resolve my issue. I am happy to say after 2 months of treatment, my hand is nearly 100% healed, thanks to her! If you are looking for someone who gets the job done, goes the extra mile to resolve your issue, and someone who truly cares about her patients and their well - being, Sharry is your therapist! I wouldn't recommend anyone else in NYC!

I am treated by Sharry Wallach three times a week for a fracture in my right hand. I enjoy my visits as Sharry not only helps my hand become more flexible but makes me feel relaxed and cared for. She explains what and why she does as she gently manipulates my fingers. I have gotten very quick results from her treatments. She is truly an expert, in her field. Added to this, we have fun conversations. Sharry's supportive, warm personality and expertise makes her asset to her field. I highly recommend her. A great healing experience.

I have visited Sharry Wallach many times for ongoing pain in my left hand after multple surgeries. She is one of the best healthcare professionals I have had the pleasure of working with, EVER! On all my visits for therapy with her, she was always professional, polite, listened to all my concerns regarding my treatment and she answered all of my questions. She is extremely knowledgeable about physical therpay, occupational therapy, and overall good health. Overall an excellent experience. I would recommend Sharry Wallach to my friends and family, if and when they should ever need a hand therapist.

Excellent care from Sharry has helped me return to my daily activities and the golf curse. She takes great effort to make sure my issues are addressed during each visit and I am given the time and attention I need, and somehow still is able to remain right on schedule. Thank you, Sharry!
