Spear Physical Therapy 57 West 57th Street, Manhattan, New York,

"I had high expectations for this place based on the glowing reviews, but my experience was quite disappointing. I traveled across town and rushed to my appointment, only to find that the therapist I had specifically booked was not available. What made this situation even more frustrating is that I had been in direct email contact with the therapist to coordinate timing, so I find it odd that I wasn’t informed she wouldn’t be there. I had planned my entire day around this appointment. The lack of communication and the indifference from both the front desk staff and the therapist made me feel like my time and health were not valued. This experience has led me to question the authenticity of the reviews and the overall quality of care. Based on this, I would not recommend this place to friends or family."

"I have struggled for years with neck pain and lower back issues and have had mixed results with PT, including other Spear locations. By chance, I needed PT in a hurry and got an appointment with Elana at the West 57th St. location. She is simply exceptional... really listens, really tailors a program that has given me tremendous relief, as well as giving me a long list of exercises that I can do at home. She is kind and non-judgmental but also knowledgeable and helpful. And schedules follow ups to monitor and tweak my progress. Don't let the upbeat, good-times vibe fool you; Elana and her team are dead serious about finding solutions and coming up with ways to make life better. I highly recommend her and this Spear location!"

"Danielle Lynn is my hand therapist and I recommend her unequivocally! She is diligent, patient, hard-working, original, clever. She tailors her treatment to her client's issue--which in my case is an embedded splinter--and who knew there was specific therapy for this problem! And my finger is getting better!! She is the therapist you want if you have a hand issue."

"Spear at 57th St has made an incredibly positive impact in my life. I've had issues with pain in my feet and neck areas and my PT, Laura, has created an effective treatment plan to strengthen those body parts and bring back mobility. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and I completely trust her. The PT techs who assist (Nana, Kara, Sharon, Tim) are also attentive, kind, and supportive. When I walk in, I know that I'm in good hands. And when I walk out after a session I feel better - not just physically but also mentally. The entire environment really fosters a sense of well-being and I'm grateful to have found that."

"Spear has gotten me through two injuries in the past two years. I first went to them with a lower back injury and they were absolutely incredible. I have a crazy schedule and they were able to work with me keep me on a plan/path for success. When I injured my ankle a few months after I knew exactly where to go. I was fortunate enough to get to work with the same Physical Therapist, Jeremy. Jeremy worked with me to get me back into running and I'll be forever grateful for his help. Within 6 months of working with him I was able to run my first 1/2 marathon. Not only did he help me overcome an injury, he set me up with tools for injury prevention. This will always be my go to place if I'm in need of PT!"
