I’ve been a regular client fora couple years. Alleviated my pain and aided recovery in my tendinitis. I go now for maintenance, general soreness, and sports recovery.
February 15, 2025Stanley E.Verified patient
Genuinely not a bad thing to say about Dr. Kim. Has helped shift my treatments since my bulging disc diagnosis and provides new exercises to do at home every appointment. He is very kind and makes sure not to cause pain. Dr. Lee is also wonderfully personable and walked through every step. Happy to continue seeing them.

Dr. Kim and his staff immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed during my first appointment. Dr. Kim was very knowledgeable and professional, immediately being able to identify the causes of my pain and help to alleviate them during our first session. I can't recommend him enough!
June 23, 2024Felicia L.Verified patient
5 stars are not enough for Dr.Kim! He knows exactly my pain points and he uses different methods (manual massage, massage gun, heating, and electric treatment). Dr.Kim is definitely the best physical therapist I had in NYC!

Honestly a great experience! Really knowledgeable and actually listened to me. He worked on every area of concern I shared yet it did not feel rushed which was surprising. Felt great afterwards and will continue to come here. I’ve learned some exercises and have started doing them which have been helpful!

Without the treatment, I cannot imagine that I can work. As a designer, it is important to manage my shoulder and neck. They always take care of my health and it is great treatment.

Amazing , friendly and clean environment. He is amazing at what he does. Will definitely recommend going here . Is an amazing listener and gives you great advice on what you may need to do outside of therapy as well
August 24, 2023Niurka G.Verified patient
Dr Tae Hoon Kim is incredible. I unreservedly recommend him to all people I’ve met who are experiencing any kind of pain or injury. Technically it is out of network for me but it was worth it because of how quickly and how greatly he has improved long term muscle pain and nerve issues that interfered with my ability to work, sleep and generally function. I’ve seen lots of physical therapists throughout the years, and it is very clear that he has a really intuitive understanding of the human body. He can feel around and know where the sources of pain are and how to relieve it - not just attend to the place that you say it hurts. He really understands how the body, injury and pain work. He is attentive, very caring, strong and clearly very knowledgeable and brilliant at what he does.
I really never write recommendations… but I hope this helps someone to make the decision, because it is one of the best I’ve ever made. It’s worth it.

Always satisfying!

Since I had a arm pain, I go to see the doctor once or twice a week.
The doctor is so professional and kind listener! The hospital is clean, fresh, and cozy. Thanks to the care, I can keep doing my work.

Doctor was really helpful and nice. The experience felt extremely smoothly and relaxing with a spa like vibe, he introduces good exercises for me to do at home too. Overall just very pleasant experience that I would recommend any one to try out. I can totally see why he has extremely loyal customers!
August 4, 2023Richard H.Verified patient
Nice, clear and effective. Very good experience
February 13, 2023Raquel M.Verified patient
Listen! If you’re thinking about it, just go. It was an amazing experience. I loved every second of it. He was very attentive, and he let me know what certain things were so I wasn’t in the dark as he helped me with stretches. He also advised me what was going on with certain muscles and tendons and why and how I should fix it or exercise it. He made sure I felt comfortable so I knew what was going on the entire time and he told me to let him know when I was feeling too much pain. It was overall an amazing experience and I say go for it 100% ?

Great experience, fast and efficient. Came in for Lower back pain. Dr Kim was able to pinpoint the area of where the pain was coming from, he also explained the possible causes. Felt immediate relief after treatment. He recommended exercises and stretches to work on at home.
