The staff is fantastic. Johnny is my physical therapist and he is just wonderful. He explains everything and working with him has gotten me closer and closer to full recovery from total knee replacement surgery.
Mary W.
The facility is clean and well equipped and the people who work there are professional and kind. Shing is exceptional, the best physical therapist I have ever had, and I have had many. Highly recommend.
Daisy P.
This place is amazing and I am so thankful to Johnny Singson. I was not able to raise my arm from a rib fracture and had severe head stiffness. Johnny is the best Physical Therapist. He helped and taught me essential exercises to target my injury. He gave me an individualized plan tailored for my... pain, printed the exercises and facilitated the exercises in an online video using the QR code. I felt so comfortable with his professionalism and expertise. I know I was under his great care as he worked with me throughout and saw my progress. I would also like to thank Carmina and the even the front desk person Dioness. All staff members are very friendly, courteous and compassionate. I highly recommend Professional Physical Therapy especially Johnny Singson.read more
Tim C.
I’ve had the best experience at Professional PT in Glendale for my Total Knee Replacement. The entire team is excellent, including Diones, Carmina, and Julie, but especially my PT, Chase, who has the whole package in terms of qualities any patient would want in their Physical Therapist. He is... smart, thoughtful, organized, energetic, encouraging, and committed to helping his patients make progress and get back to living their lives. It is obvious that Chase gives you and your recovery his full attention under his care.The facility is spacious and open with high ceilings and contains a wide variety of equipment that are well organized in different stations. A fantastic bonus is that it is located in a shopping center with convenient, free parking.I cannot imagine going to a different PT clinic in the future, but if I needed to, based on my experience here, my first choice would be another Professional PT clinic location. Many thanks to helping me get back to living my life.read more
Anthony P.
I had an excellent experience at this physical therapy clinic while being treated for neck pain. From the start, the entire process felt professional, efficient, and well-organized.My therapist, Chase, stood out immediately for his knowledge and genuine care. He takes the time to explain what’s... going on in your body and why certain exercises or techniques are being used, which made the sessions both engaging and educational. I especially appreciated how much he enjoys sharing his expertise—it made me feel more involved in my own recovery rather than just going through the motions.Chase also goes above and beyond by equipping you with the tools and knowledge needed to continue improving on your own. I left each session feeling more confident in how to manage and prevent future injuries, which is incredibly valuable.Beyond the therapy itself, the clinic is very convenient. The location is easy to access, there’s plenty of parking available, and the early hours (starting at 7 AM) make it easy to fit appointments into a busy schedule.read more

Aleksandra Rys (.
Summary: compassionate and competent staff, spotless facility, accessible location, and excellent service.Thomas and Kai are very knowledgeable, competent, and overall a joy to work with. I came to Professional Physical Therapy after needing relatively major knee surgery that involved the cutting... and repositioning of bone, ligament, and cartilage. It was my first-ever surgery, and the recovery was probably the most frustrating time of my life. It’s safe to say I was extremely anxious and not at all an easygoing patient! But Kai and Thomas were observant and patient. They helped me negotiate my anxiety and perform the necessary exercises, both at home and in the practice, to get on the right path to recovery.In addition to the wonderful PTs, the whole staff here is helpful and friendly. The facility is spotlessly clean and the equipment is extremely modern. The practice is conveniently located in a shopping complex on Union Turnpike that has abundant free parking and many other useful stores.read more

I have been going here for almost a year and I would like to thank the entire staff. You got Tommy, Frankie, Oliver, Chris and let's not forget the one who books my appointments Ashley. They work together as a solid team even during covid 19 when staff was cut the work was passed on threw each... member and I can't say that one is better than the other because the performance was the same all round for every member. They have all treated me and every other person like family. Ashley had to buckle down as a receptionist and a helper to bring all the materials to every patients so that things could run smoothly. They all make sure that the tables, machines and equipment was thoroughly clean and scanned all patients entering the facility, No exceptions, i got sent home. So if your looking for a safe, clean and friendly place to get your PT and your in the neighborhood come here. I'm sure that the service shouldn't be any different at any other location as well. Hopefully I don't injure my self again but if the time comes, I'm going to Professional Pt.read more

Bio

My journey to becoming a physical therapist grew from a deep belief that movement is central to living a full, healthy life. Throughout my experiences in athletics, I witnessed how injury, pain, or limited mobility can hold someone back from the activities that give them purpose. I was drawn to physical therapy because it allows me to guide people through recovery, empower them to rebuild strength, and help them maintain active lifestyles long after rehabilitation. I’m especially passionate about the impact PT has on sports—supporting athletes in preventing injuries, enhancing performance, and returning to the game they love with confidence. Ultimately, I want to be a source of motivation and expertise for anyone striving to move better, feel stronger, and reclaim the activities that matter most to them.

Bio

I’ve always been an active person—growing up playing basketball, handball, table tennis, and pretty much anything else that got my heart rate up. My interest in health sciences led me to stumble upon athletic training during my undergraduate years at Stony Brook University. After graduating, I spent two years working as an Athletic Trainer at Archbishop Molloy High School, where I realized I wanted to deepen my knowledge and broaden the ways I could help people move and feel better. That drive brought me back to Stony Brook to pursue my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I’m motivated by movement, curiosity, and a passion for helping others return to the activities they love.
