Kate B.
I came to StarPro for a wrist and knee ailment I have had for years. I had tried several other physical therapy centers and nothing seemed to work. Joe completely fixed my knee issue in 6 weeks when other centers made no improvement after 5 months. Danny helped my wrist issue completely resolve... after over a decade of pain. They are both friendly, kind, fun, and make you look forward to going to PT/OT. I cannot recommend them enough!read more
louis M.
Everyone was very welcoming and supportive. Richa Desai understood my injury and proceeded to transform me from a limping arthritic man to someone ready to compete in competitive sports. Highly recommend
Matthew R.
Spent about 3 months in OT with Danny Adams following hand surgery. Absolutely incredible bedside manner and he makes you feel so at ease during therapy - which can be quite stressful at times. The facility itself is spacious and well kept, seems like they everything you could need for any kind of... PT/OT. Highly recommend this location and definitely ask for Danny if you have any OT needs!read more
Sylvester C.
I cannot recommend StarPro enough, specifically Daniel, the Occupational Therapist who helped me through a rough hand tendon injury. When I first started, I was worried about whether I’d ever get the functionality back, but Daniel made the entire recovery process seamless.He is incredibly... knowledgeable and attentive, but what really sets him apart is his personality. Not only did he get my hand back in working order, but he was also absolutely hilarious. His sense of humor made every session something to look forward to. If you’re looking for a highly skilled OT who can help you heal, Daniel is your guy!read more
Cynthia M.
I saw Madeline Partridge for PT and she was extraordinary. A fantastic practioner of the highest quality. I also appreciated that StarPro is well run. It was easy to access the front desk, and make/change appointments. The facility is very clean. I'm very glad to have discovered StarPro PT.
Kent S.
StarPro was recommended to me by a good friend who had recently gone through PT for a hip replacement. She recommended Jacueline DiForte at StarPro-Chelsea and I signed up to take rotator cuff PT with her. She was terrific: friendly, professional, highly knowledgable; she id' d the best... exercises; showed me the precise way to do them, the 'reps' and 'sets' needed. Importantly, she watched me and corrected my form as needed. I found the staff, friendly and professional and would go back!read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience at StarPro Physical Therapy and my absolutely amazing occupational therapist Daniel Adams. This was actually my 4th series at StarPro (I like adventure sports, and yes, I'm a bit accident prone). This time I had broken my left elbow (olecranon fracture) and... arrived 2 weeks post surgery unable to bend or straighten my elbow from it's 90 degree position, and had limited mobility with my left hand. Over the course of 3 very emotional months, Danny helped take me from 0 to an incredible 100% recovery. His light hearted humor kept my spirits up, his knowledge and confidence created a great game plan for my recovery, and his genuine concern to meet our goals helped push me to get my 98% of my full mobility back. I'm back in action and forever grateful to Danny for his help. I know every case is different, but if you trust the process and put the work in, he'll help you get real results. I would highly recommend StarPro and Danny to anyone looking for an occupational therapist!!read more
Jennifer H.
Had PT on tendonitis on my wrists with Danny. He was more knowledgeable than my actual doctors, understood exactly what and how needed to be treated, and did it with respect, positive and encouraging attitude, and great professionalism. I could not be more grateful for Danny's expertise, and he... created a beautiful atmosphere back in the hand therapy room between all clients who felt safe and relaxed! So many people looked me dead in the face and said "I dunno" as to what was wrong with me. Danny said "Oh I know" and fixed my life like a champ. A million thank yous to Danny. Y'all if you need help, he is your guy 1000x over.read more
Patricia S.
I’m incredibly grateful to have found Daniel Adams, Gabrielle Leach, and the amazing team at StarPro in Chelsea to guide me through recovery after wrist surgery. When I first started looking for physical therapy options, I didn’t realize what I truly needed was a specialized hand therapist—an OT,... not just any PT.I came in feeling like a total mess, but with Danny’s expert guidance and the team’s steady support, I made real progress week by week—regaining both mobility and confidence. Danny’s deep knowledge of hand anatomy and rehab meant I was always being challenged at the right pace, which made all the difference in my recovery.On top of the excellent care, the atmosphere at StarPro is something special. It’s like a little NYC microcosm—people from all walks of life in the “hand room,” supporting each other and sharing a laugh. That energy made going to therapy multiple times a week much more enjoyable.Highly recommend this team for anyone needing hand therapy—they truly know their stuff and care deeply about getting you back to doing what you love.read more

StarPro Chelsea is a wonderful place! It is clean, and spacious and the staff a delight. I began PT four months ago because of mild osteoarthritis and a possible torn meniscus, and I'm delighted with the progress I've made. Yesenia, my physical therapist, is warm, encouraging, and patient and... clearly knows what she's doing. From the beginning of therapy, Yesenia introduced me to exercises to target specific muscles which needed strengthening and corrected me if I wasn't doing them properly. Thanks to Yesenia's knowledge and commitment to my recovery, I have finally been able to return to swimming which I had to abstain from for three months. Thank you, too, to Mary, Kelly, and Jacqueline, the physical therapists who treated me when Yesenia was on vacation. I must also mention Jasmine, a PT assistant, who is always friendly, attentive, and professional. Scheduling has never been a problem at StarPro, and when I began PT, Yesenia gave me a home exercise program which I still follow. I highly recommend StarPro Physical Therapy! Carol Pierce, Manhattanread more
Jake S.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I just “graduated” and felt like I had to share how great my experience was with Mary Volk! I started doing PT after a serious ankle injury and was nervous about whether I’d be able to get back to playing sports at the level I was used to. Having Mary was a game... changer in my recovery process. She made the whole process feel manageable/doable and kept me motivated the entire way.The thing I appreciated the most with Mary was that every session was focused, encouraging, and really well thought out. The at-home exercises she gave me were also tailored to fit my lifestyle, so they were easy to stay consistent with. I genuinely could feel the difference they made week to week. It never felt like a one-size-fits-all plan because everything was really specific to my needs and goals. Mary and the rest of the team (shoutout Kelli and Marc) brought a warm and welcoming feel to the practice. I actually looked forward to going every week. This made a huge difference during a time that could’ve felt pretty stressful.Long story short I can’t recommend Mary enough for anyone who needs physical therapy. She really helped me rebuild not just my strength, but also my confidence in getting back out there. I’m really grateful I got to work with her. The care I received was outstanding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better physical therapist!read more
Ted H.
I just completed a course of PT here and it could not have gone better. The therapists know what they're doing, they remember your progress as the weeks go by, and when you don't need any more therapy, they won't keep you around. My therapist was Marc, who was terrific, but I could tell that the... other therapists were great, too. And the front desk takes care of your insurance needs and makes the experience smooth, which is not remotely typical.read more
Garet M.
I came to StarPro after breaking my hand. I had 10+ sessions with my OT, Daniel Adams and was extremely pleased with the progress we made throughout my therapy. Daniel was professional, understanding and knowledgable. He was able to create a specific plan catered to my unique break/injury, which... proved to work well and helped me recover!read more
Christian P.
I can’t thank Daniel Adams and the team at StarPro enough for their support during my recovery from De Quervain’s and surgery. From day one, they’ve been warm, professional, and incredibly welcoming. The atmosphere is both supportive and upbeat, which made a big difference in my healing journey.... Danny is truly the best—he takes the time to really get to know his clients, and his wit and humor make laughter part of the healing process. He taught me targeted exercises that helped me build back my mobility and strength, and he always follows up to see how I’m doing. It’s clear he genuinely cares. Highly recommend!read more
m M.
Mary Volk is a literal godsend; a credit to her workplace and profession; very knowledgeable and infinitely patient. All employees are lovely, the facility is immaculate, never a problem with scheduling or insurance (and my insurance company is a bit infamous for being difficult to work with). ... I've been dealing with both acute and chronic pain issues since early childhood, and it's only now in middle age that I'm finding somewhere I'd feel comfortable returning should it ever be necessary.read more
Wynn T.
Star Pro Physical Therapy-ChelseaI just had a great experience here. I had a torn rotary cuff and needed many months of treatment. The entire staff here at the Chelsea Star pro are excellent. From the very attentive Front Desk staff, to the therapist support staff. I felt supported by the entire... Physical Therapy team...they knew my name and were aware of the issue I was being treated for. My own therapist,Marc LiManandri, was the best. Patience, kind, knowledgeable ,and determined to guide me to a full recovery....which he did.Marc was completely invested in my recovery . I am extremely grateful for his guidance and to everyone at the Chelsea Star Pro...for providing me with a supportive environment ......to heal.read more
Sarah P.
This is the best physical therapy place! The staff is so incredibly friendly and Kelli is absolutely incredible. She is so encouraging and supportive. I love coming here! Shes helped fix my hamstring problem prior to running a marathon and has made it so much better in only a few sessions. Highly... recommend to anyone that needs physio work done!read more
Ryan H.
Can't speak highly enough about Kelli, Derek, & Joe. I had an IT Band injury that impacted my training for the NYC marathon. I thought that I might have to pull out of the marathon, but the team kept my confidence and helped me not only with my recovery but also with the long term strengthening of... my running muscles and mechanics. I am now a stronger runner than I have ever been. Also, it was such a welcoming and fun environment come to, looked to coming in for treatment each week!read more
Michele B.
So grateful to Danny Adams & Tony and the team at StarPro for helping me heal my tennis elbow and tendinitis. They are so friendly and professional and welcoming. Danny is the best- he really gets to know his clients and he taught me exercises to build up my strength. I highly recommend StarPro!
Gloria C.
I have used StarPro for therapy for my fractured patella from a fall in my apartment and Dan after surgery of my thumb. Dan has been patient and he is very knowledgeable in his treatment/exercises for my thumb and hand. I could tell a different with the flexibility of my thumb after my first... session. He always has a smile even at 7:00 a.m.Jackie, the P.T. for my fractured patella was exceptional. After 12 sessions with her, I was able to return to hiking as a stronger person. If you have a concern, discuss it with Jackie. Remember to implement what you are taught in your daily routines. If I came back from a fall at 73, I know you can.read more
April S.
I worked with Danny over a few months for OT due to tendonitis in both my hands and it was an excellent experience! For every session, he reviewed my progress, worked towards my OT goals, and taught me the basic anatomy I needed to know to better understand what we were doing and why.He was... consistently professional, courteous, kind, and just a lovely person to be around.Now that my sessions are over, I feel very confident in doing maintenance exercises at home, being more mindful of my form at the gym, and more aware of what to do should tendonitis reoccur.If you need OT/hand therapy, I highly recommend working with Danny at StarPro!read more

Kelli Yorks is a knowledgeable, patient and kind physical therapist. She has been treating me for several weeks now for a number of running related overuse injuries. I credit Kelli with my recent return to running. As a female runner herself she listens, motivates, supports and educates. We work... together to set realistic goals and she is incredibly attentive to my needs. She is a credit to StarPro, her patients and community. Thank you Kelli! Kudos to all the staff at this location who ensure a warm and lighthearted but professional environment.read more
Jenny L.
I worked with Daniel Adams on my elbow and wrist pain. Danny was an absolute pleasure to work with. He has a friendly and sweet disposition that will put you at ease right away. He helped me with my pain levels and decreased them in just a few sessions, and he gave me all the tools and exercises I... need to do at home to continue to improve. I looked forward to all my sessions with Danny! Excellent professional in OT.read more

I was dreading hand therapy and then I met Dani. Dani is EXCEPTIONAL at making you feel comfortable, while still pushing you to improve. He is caring, thoughtful and very creative with therapy so you never feel bored. If you need PT, please ask for Dani. He is the ABSOLUTE BEST!
Joules D.
Love going to StarPro for therapy! I see Daniel and Mary who are both lovely people who really know their stuff! Brittany always makes me feel super welcome from the moment I enter. I strongly recommend this establishment for your physical and occupational therapy needs!
Katie H.
I worked with Daniel Adams who helped me with my wrist/hand pain. Not only did he provide exceptional care during our sessions, but he also gave me the tools and information I needed to continue progressing outside of therapy. He made the sessions fun and created an environment that was warm and... welcoming. He has an amazing attitude and ability to connect with individuals as people and not just as patients, and help them on their healing journey. Thank you, Daniel!!read more

The staff at the 6th Ave & 15th Street location is amazing. Marc, main my therapist is exceptional; from the very first session I felt comfortable working with him. He’s been very much in tune with my specific post surgery limitations-I’m very grateful for how much I’ve improved thanks to his... care.Yesenia, Jackie and Kelly are also great therapists. They’re an outstanding team working in a very relax and supportive environment.read more
Serena D.
Daniel was amazing. I worked with him for 3 months after breaking my dominant hand. I actually looked forward to OT because I always had a question, and he always had an answer, along with an explanation to reassure me. I cannot believe I am where I am in such a short amount of time.
Bridget Harvey T.
Everyone at this location is fab. I broke my right elbow almost two years ago. Finished a round of occupational therapy then.Returned this year for a round of physical therapy for my right shoulder with Kelli and occupational therapy for my right wrist with Nicole and both are incredible at their... jobs. Great at teaching exercises, massaging out the worst pains, and tracking multiple clients at the same time.The front desk staff Brittany and Alex are great with managing insurance and balancing schedules. And Giorgio for the assist on the floor.This team is The Best!read more

Shelley N.
Just finished my treatment for a sports-related wrist injury with Daniel Adams and am back even better than before the injury! Daniel is professional, personable, and happy to answer questions and talk you through the every step of the process. Hopefully this isn't something I have to revisit, but... if I do, I'd go back to see him in a heartbeat. The whole team there is extremely helpful and friendly and create a very positive environment.read more

I worked with Amarinder in the Chelsea location of Professional PT. She was excellent in diagnosing my problems quickly and target focused therapy accordingly. She is very dedicated and went out of the way to accommodate my timings and ensure I made good progress in my sessions. Highly recommend.
Charlie P.
Amarinder was great with personally catered treatment to help my foot get back to full health. Gives clear and helpful instructions / programs that helped me regain strength and return to 100% in only a couple months. Was patient with me even after I re-injured myself (oops) and was always... personable / easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks!read more
Sean R.
Wonderful space and PT org. Location is great - for both commuting and the spacious interior. Even with covid precautions, you get a sense for how friendly and collaborative staff is here. As a loyal patient of Amarinder, I've had the added perspective of receiving therapy from her in more than one... PT company. And with that experience, and from that point of view, I'd highly recommend Professional PT! Thanks for all the time and care :)read more
Men P.
Great therapist and great personThey see multiple at one time. I would have preferred just one on one but they make you feel attended to and directed. Physical space is excellent
Thomas W.
I went to Professional Physical Therapy to work on my knee that I had injured. The facility is very well run and Susanna, my therapist, is great. She challenged me to push myself, but also knew when the adjust the excerise when necessary. I highly recommend this physical therapy clinic.
William R.
I had a broken bone in my foot that cost me a good bit of summer activity, and had to be in a boot for 7 weeks after getting my soft cast off. The whole staff at Professional PT in Chelsea was extremely easy to work with and helped me get my foot and ankle back to full strength. Darima, my PT was... excellent and I am very thankful to her for helping me work through the injury. Definitely would recommend to anyone seeking physical therapy.read more

Benjamin L.
Christopher Costello, my PT and the team led by him are excellent, knowledgeable, attentive and patient. The place is very clean, the atmosphere friendly and pleasant. The program Chris has designed and developed for my back and shoulder pains strikes a thoughtful balance between targeted hard... work, rigorous exercises and soothing breaks. And I get regular reminders for a manageable load of daily homework. I feel so much better now than when I began. With growing confidence in their skillful guidance, I’m also more optimistic about further improvements. This has been a very positive, invigorating experience. Thank you, Chris!read more

I worked with Chris C to relieve pain in my arthritic hips, increase strength, and regain flexibility. Chris is a fantastic therapist who understood my goals and worked with me in a collaborative program. His intervention was effective and helpful. I can split logs for firewood again.

I had the pleasure of working with Christopher Costello for a couple of months after my ankle surgery and he helped me to start walking and get my strength back. He’s the best and I highly recommend him.
Gary N.
A great place with an attentive, knowledgable, dedicated staff. They will help you reach your goals.
Frederica S.
Chris and Nate took great care with me after my knee replacement! Their goal was my total recovery and I was lucky to find them. Thanks, Professional!
Miles G.
I am in a period of regaining strength and flexibility from a chronic shoulder ailment. Treatment began in June and continues. I have nothing but praise for the care I have received at PPT. From ease of scheduling to on-time meetings with my therapists and their aides, I have been treated with... close attention to my condition but also to me as a person. The two are closely related. Mind and body are in synergy. They influence each other. There is regular re-evaluation of my progress (online and in person) and the staff have worked out a treatment plan for me that changes as my body changes -- for the better. At 74 years of age, I know that my body has certain limitations that wear and tear in general have produced, but I must say I feel a little younger! I am always encouraged to just try a little harder but never pushed beyond my limits. My therapists have interpersonal as well as technical skills and knowledge of the body's functioning. Seriousness of purpose and a sense of humor go together well in this field. All of the factors together have led to improvement for me: more flexibility, stability and strength and confidence.read more
Mimi M.
Susanna Tam is an excellent PT. She knows a lot about the muscle groups that she educated me on. She knew exactly what my body needed to work in order to strengthen and help recuperate my injuries the correct way while also allowing me to continue doing the physical activities I enjoy.

I had a wonderful time working with Amarinder and Nathan. Both were very professional and helped me after my knee surgery. I worked with them for several months and appreciated their hard work and advice. I would highly recommend professional PT to anyone.
Neil R.
Professional PT’s Amarinder Parmar came essentially required by my surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery for the continuation of my therapy.My experience and results with Amarinder as well as the entire facility and staff have been nothing short of remarkable.She has excellent bedside manner... while staying focused and completely no nonsense regarding my progress and recovery.She is not afraid to push me to the appropriate limits and hold me accountable in receiving my desired results.After several months of in office visits along with full at home programs and technology, she and the staff are starting to feel like an extension of the family.I highly recommend for any PT needs especially post op. Thank you to Amarinder and the Professional PT Chelsea staff.read more
Kathy B.
I believe that my PT Susanna, is very knowledgeable about exercises to get relief from the pain. I am also learning exercises to build up stomach and thigh muscles to better support the back. I was sceptical going in, esp. because of my age, but I feel much better. I also realize that to stay... pain free. I need to do the exercises often. Thanks Susanna and Professional PT.read more
Corin N.
Professional PT 6th Ave is by far the best physical therapy experience I have ever had. Nate Ratner is skilled, incredibly knowledgeable, patient, focused, kind and hard working. He’s a total pro and he gets results! I am so much stronger after working with him and I am completely pain free! A few... years ago for a different issue, I worked with Susanna who was also excellent!read more

Evelyn C.
This is a very great physical therapy location!! The pt are very personable and connect with patients from day one. They don’t make you wait for service they are professional and pleasant to work with. Unlike a previous Pt clinic this practice is down to earth and hands. They have a dynamic pt... team Zarah, Sean, Nate and Chris! The receptionist is very polite and works with your schedule!! I highly appreciate the fact that they are very very flexible with their patients. They are willing to try new exercise and routines to get you up and going. I’m still a work in process but God Bless this practice they are heaven sent. The doctors haven’t given me a concrete answer as to why I have the pain but they have been able to work with me decreasing and managing the pain as needed!If you are in pain definitely book with the Chelsea locationread more
Kenn G.
Very professional and friendly. Chris and the team provide excellent and competent therapy.
James A.
Great and caring service! A very professional front desk staff, and wonderful physical therapy with Nathan! I will enthusiastically recommend Professional PT to others.
Jenny L.
The team of therapists led by Christopher Costello are kind, professional, patient and will gently push you to recover and heal. One leaves the session feeling limber and good. Muscles that one didn’t know existed or used in a long time will be sore, but once that has passed, the affected area... feels much better. In my case, I have sciatica from an accident years ago, which is sending shooting pains down the right side of the body. Chris and the other therapists ask questions to determine progress and also stretch out the back to balance the exercises. The “homework” to be done between visits is not long to accomplish and can be scaled up or down in difficulty for improvement. My thanks to Chris, Anthony, Yvonne, Declan and Ava for their informative guidance and therapy.read more

Bio

I started my career as a Physical Therapist in 2009. I did my Bachelors and Masters (Orthopedic and Sports) in Physical Therapy from 2009-2016. I worked in a spine clinic after that for 1.5 years and came to USA to pursue my Doctor of Physical Therapy. I have been working in New York since Nov 2019. I have worked in different kinds of clinical settings like Outpatient clinic, SNF, ANF. My main area of interest is Musculoskeletal and sports. I believe it is a blessing to be able to make a change in someone’s life and help them achieve their functional goals and get them moving. This is a profession which has gained importance in the past few years and I wish to grow in this field and my area of interest.
