I’ve had a great experience at Professional Physical Therapy in Dyker Heights. I’ve been working with Courtney for a knee and shoulder injury, and she’s been exceptional. She’s knowledgeable, patient, and always takes the time to explain not just what we’re doing, but why. One of the things I... appreciate most is how much I’ve learned throughout the process. I leave each session feeling more informed and confident about my recovery.The entire staff is welcoming, friendly, and professional. From the moment you walk in, everyone makes you feel comfortable and genuinely cared for. It’s a positive environment where you can tell the team truly wants to help every patient succeed.I highly recommend Professional Physical Therapy in Dyker Heights to anyone looking for high-quality physical therapy and a supportive team.read more

I had a great experience here. Within just a few sessions, the team already knew me by name and made me feel like family. There was never a dull moment, and the staff are all incredibly knowledgeable and professional at what they do. I came in with a back and neck injury that caused my fingers to... seize up and stiffen on my right hand, and now the seizing and stiffening is gone and my back and neck have improved significantly. I would say to ask for Lisa, but they are all so good and anyone would be great! Oh and Karen worked on my neck, it feels much better now I can turn my head with less tightness and pain :)read more

I had an amazing experience working with Courtney. I came in dealing with a hernia recovery along with lower back and shoulder issues, and she was incredible every step of the way. From the beginning, she really took the time to understand what I was going through and created a plan that felt both... safe and effective.What stood out the most was how knowledgeable and attentive she is. She explained everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable with each exercise, and adjusted things as I progressed. I never felt rushed or like just another patient. she genuinely cared about my recovery and long-term health.Thanks to Courtney, I’ve been able to regain strength, move with confidence again, and get back to working out without fear. She pushed me when I needed it but always kept my safety as the priority.I can honestly say she’s one of the best physical therapists I’ve worked with. If you’re dealing with any kind of injury or recovery, I highly recommend Courtney. You’ll be in great hands.read more
Cait H.
I am so grateful to everyone at Professional Physical Therapy for helping me with my recovery from a recent MCL tear. The whole staff creates a very welcoming and supportive atmosphere. Courtney was my PT and she was an absolute gift to work with. She was professional, knowledgeable and was always... able to answer my questions in a clear and accessible way. She was also great at guiding me through my program — demonstrating, explaining, and correcting me through the exercises and modifying them as needed in the early days when I was still experiencing a lot of pain. It is so humbling to have gone from not being able to take the stairs or put my socks on without difficulty to being able to get back to my normal active lifestyle in 3 months with her help and I'm incredibly thankful!read more

Courtney was my main PT. She was one of the best. The therapist must meet a high level criteria, have a great understanding of the anatomy, respect the patient, and have empathy. I told my surgeon she is the best of the best. If she is ever one of your options, you will be glad you choose them.

I’ve had such a positive experience at this facility. The space is always clean, well-organized, and welcoming, and the entire staff is kind from the moment you walk in.I was treated by Courtney Thompson, DPT, and I can’t say enough good things about her.

Her passion for physical therapy and genuine care for her patients really shine through. She’s not only well-educated and skilled, but also patient, encouraging, and compassionate.Courtney helped me build confidence in my therapy and made sure I understood the purpose behind each exercise, which made a big difference in my progress. She tailored my treatment plan to fit my needs and always listened to my concerns, adjusting things as needed.Overall, I highly recommend this facility and especially Courtney Thompson, DPT, to anyone looking for high-quality, compassionate physical therapy care.read more

We’ve had an amazing experience so far with Lisa and Courtney at Professional Physical Therapy in Dyker Heights! My daughter has been working with them for core and balance training, and the progress she’s made has been great. Not only has her physical strength and balance improved noticeably, but... her confidence has also gotten a huge boost thanks to their supportive and encouraging approach. Lisa and Courtney are both professional, knowledgeable, and truly care about their patients. I’m so grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on my daughter. I highly recommend!read more

Marna S
We had a wonderful experience working with Courtney. When my son first started physical therapy, he was hesitant and didn’t want to go. Courtney was incredibly kind, patient, and warm from the very beginning. She took the time to explain everything in a way that made him feel comfortable and... involved, and before long, he actually looked forward to each session. Thanks to her persistence, encouragement, and skill, he has grown so much stronger and has developed noticeably better balance and coordination. Courtney’s personable and professional approach made all the difference — we’re so grateful for her care and support!read more

Full disclosure: I haven't visited this specific location, but I did receive regular care from Lisa last year (when she was at a different location, in Manhattan) and I can say that she was the best PT I've ever been to. She was always thorough, thoughtful and compassionate with me and the other... patients, and it was always a lot of fun to chat with her (or just listen to her and Nick joke around with each other).I would recommend the services of this team to anyone I know!read more

From the minute to walk into the Dyker Heights office you feel welcome and cared for. Both Nick and Lisa are very knowledgeable in their field. I felt very comfortable to be in their care. And even after only 1 visit my pain level had diminished. Would highly recommend them if you are in need of PT.
Grace C
Professional Physical Therapy in the Dyker Heights Office is amazing! I don’t usually write reviews but this place deserves one. I would recommend this spot to others. Following a total knee replacement, I became a patient of Professional Physical Therapy in Dyker Heights Brooklyn. Dr. Lisa Picone... has hands of gold, she is very professional; attentive, and friendly. Lisa and Nick Garyfallos have always made me feel at home from the very start. They always make sure that I am comfortable and not in any pain while doing my exercises. Lisa is a very skilled Physical Therapist who truly cares about her patients. Their success is her success. Both Lisa and Nick would correct me if I was not doing my exercises correctly, they would tell me to slow down and not to rush. Even when you don’t think they are watching or counting they are. I Have made tremendous strides which I personally don’t think I would have met going elsewhere. If you need Physical therapy this is where you want to be!read more

Bio

Nicholas Garyfallos is a graduate of Long Island University and has been a licensed PT in NY, NJ, and CA. He began his career at Staten Island University Hospital- South but found his passion in outpatient orthopedics and sports medicine when he began working closely with Dr. James Nicholas, upon whose recommendation, Nick accepted a position for a mentoring program in Los Angeles, California. While there, he became the Director of Beverly Hills Physical Therapy where he treated a number of colligate and professional athletes, working with Dr. Frank Jobe and his staff on developing and implementing numerous protocols. Nick returned to the tristate area and took over as the Director of Physical Therapy for Sports Therapy Physical Therapy in Newark, New Jersey and then his unique philosophy of treating and teaching led him to start his own private practice in Brooklyn, New York, which he left after 20 successful years.
