Hear From Our Patients

Michael M.
Professional Physical Therapy in Wantagh is one of the best physical therapy locations in all of Long Island. The staff is accommodating and professional. Erica is the absolute best. I am an extremely active person and an injury caused me not to be active for over two years. Without her help over... these months I would have never gone back to running and being active again. Highly recommend!read more

Kadesha Miller was a very effective physical therapist. She guided me in doing my exercises and listened carefully to my concerns, adjusting the exercises as needed. She was very encouraging and I would give her my highest commendation.

Adrienne P.
Professional Physical Therapy is the best! I just completed 3 weeks of physical therapy for shoulder issues at the Wantagh, NY location. As a result of surgery, I was experiencing limitations to my range of motion in my arm combined with pain. I chose Professional Physical Therapy in Wantagh... because of its proximity to my home. During my first visit and each one after, I knew I had made the right choice. The staff was welcoming, friendly and very caring. The facility was immaculate and the equipment, chairs and therapy tables were sanitized after each patient. There aren't enough words of gratitude for Kadesha, whose professionalism, expertise and encouragement were key to eliminating my pain and restoring full use of my arm. How lucky I was to work with such a kind and skilled Physical Therapist!read more
Greg F.
The service is excellent. Erica is amazing. I can't tell how great of a job she does. Proud that she is my pherapist. Only thing is I wish that Professional Physical Therapy can except cash. Also I wish they can lower the price from 125 to 80. Other than that I will always go here. Definitely... enjoy gabby and Erica. Keep up the good work. 5 starsread more

Patricia V.
This was my first experience with Baxter Walsh but not with PT or the therapist that treated me. From the first phone call looking for appointment I knew this office was professional and accommodating. I was lucky enough to experience both locations and never had any difficulty getting a... appointment to suit my needs. From the front desk staff to the PT aides and of course my PT Laura ,my overall experience was a fabulous one. I have been using Laura as a PT for many many years on different occasions whether it was back, neck or knee issues she has always listened to what I had to say and was diligent to figure out the problem and work her magic…Thank you all at Baxter Walsh for a wonderful experience and I have recommended your practice to many already.read more
Priscilla S.
I would like to thank Maureen, Laura & John for getting me back to a healthy and active lifestyle. They helped me with my back, hip and knee pain making it possible to get the foot surgery I needed. They helped me through the healing process of my foot surgery and I am now back to my exercise,... walks and tennis. Thanks to them I was able to win my first tennis outing. Couldn't have done it without them.read more
Carolann J.
I would highly recommend Baxter and Walsh Physical Therapy to anyone in need of physical therapy. The environment is warm and friendly. The physical therapists show true concern in your rehabilitation focusing on the total "you".
Giulia B.
I had a great experience at Baxter and Walsh Physical Therapy! The staff was always kind and I never had problems scheduling or moving appointments. Everyone is very professional and careful with respect to your needs. I was followed by Laura, who is a great physical therapist, she helped me a lot... relieving my symptoms and teaching me techniques to use at home, always with a very caring and compassionate attitude. I am very grateful to everyone there who helped me feeling better and in a nice and not judgmental environment!read more
Sandi V.
The Physical Therapists at this office are highly skilled. Since having to go for several injuries in past few years I've come to know that these therapist are better than doctors in their knowledge of the body and its structures in relation to pain and recovery. Their office is small and quaint so... you get lots of attention during your appointment and you aren't forgotten about. I always recommend my clients to Baxter & Walsh if they have pain or issues that are out of my spectrum of expertise (I'm a personal trainer).read more
