Dr. Golding is great. He has a great personality, very down to earth and friendly. He is knowledgeable and eager to get you fixed up. He was very gentle with his massage but it made a big difference in my range of motion. He worked with me on some stretches / exercises to help me get stronger. He will listen to your specific problems and goals and create the treatment plan that's best for you.

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Dr. Golding. From beginning to end I felt comfortable and sure that he was going to assist with my problem. His customer service and attention to his clients surpass any expectations. He is kind, humorous, and takes his craft seriously. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. At first I was nervous about physical therapy but after a few visits I am seeing a major improvement. I am grateful to have Dr. Golding to help me out as much as he has. Honestly 5 stars isn’t enough, If I could give 10 I would do so. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know who may need his services.

Was going to NYU Langone for PT and, oddly, was very discouraged by three different therapists. I’d had surgery and they kept telling me the surgery must have been ineffective because I was so far behind. They’d pushed me to do weight bearing PT ‘til I developed acute tendinitis. My surgeon suggested to look elsewhere stat. So I went to Dr Yaakov who read my Rx carefully and has had me doing bicycle (which really helps) and simple strengthening exercises (that hurt a little afterwards but a “good” hurt because it’s strengthening without weight bearing). Not only is he mindful of where I’m at now, he doesn’t make me feel bad for being there. Very important! I left the very first appointment feeling hopeful and even stronger about my own progress (despite how behind I am)! It makes a world of difference when a therapist simply encourages you. Progress is mental as well as physical I believe now and Dr Y is also personable and quite funny to boot! A little levity (& personality) also goes a long way for a dr-patient relationship I’m finding. I now look forward to PT and appreciate what I’ve learned there and able to repeat at home. I’m determined to get better, stronger, and walk normally again. I recommend Dr Y highly. :)

For a first visit, I thought the appointment went very well. Dr. Golding was polite, informative and managed expectations well. I'm looking forward to working with him in the coming weeks to work on my posture and other exercise related injuries.

Great doctor!!
I'm happy that I found Yaakov. He is attentive and pleasant to work with even when the therapy is difficult. Highly recommend.
Dr. Golding showed me some exercises to do that, over time (it took a few weeks) appear to have "cured" a pinched nerve caused by my pregnancy. I was really suffering when I came to Dr. Golding and now I'm feeling so much better. I haven't taken any pain medications or received other medical treatment, and I'm even more pregnant now than before, and yet the awful pain I was feeling before is gone. Moreover, Dr. Golding is very friendly and has a great bedside manner.
Verified patient
Dr. Golding saved my life! I had seen Physiatrists and received injections and medications etc. I saw Orthopedists and they couldn't offer much help. I was in such pain for months that I thought my life was over. I have only seen Dr. Golding 4 times so far but the frequency, duration and intensity of my pain continues to diminish so much that I have my life back again and it keeps getting better. He's also supportive, pleasant and patient.
Verified patient
The medical assistant ,tamika, was very pleasant and the physical therapist was outstanding. He is very professional and shows empathy towards his clients.
Verified patient
He is extremely personable and attentive to each patient. He addresses every one of my concerns immediately and gave me a lot of at-home exercises to get better as quickly as possible without pushing it. Highly recommend this PT!
Verified patient
I'm going back for a few months, twice a week, to get physical therapy for my badly sprained ankle and to restore some balance and better use of my prosthetic hip ... among other things! Yaakov seems to be a great guy!
Verified patient
He listened, analyzed, talked to me and then started isolating the muscles that I needed work on. Highly recommended!! Great demeanor.
Verified patient
Very professional and effective
Verified patient
I highly recommend Dr. Golding to anyone in need of physical therapy. I had a full ACL reconstruction about 5 weeks ago and started PT with Dr. Golding two weeks later. He unquestionably knows his stuff and is a joy to have as a doctor. In addition to being a fantastic doctor, he's easy going, easy to talk to and goes above and beyond to work with you as his patient.
