Anil and Gus are my guys. They are amazing. In fact, everyone at this location is professional, caring, compassionate, and attentive. Clean and orderly and set up so clients can cheer each other on or do their own thing. luna
I recently underwent a right hip replacement in October 2025 after experiencing significant pain, a decision I never expected to face but needed to make. The surgery was a success, and I am deeply grateful to Dr. Douglas B. Unis, Orthopedic surgeon, and the exceptional staff at Mount Sinai for... their outstanding care.This review, however, is specifically for Starpro Physical Therapy at 132 West 96th Street. During the most difficult early weeks of recovery, the staff provided consistent, knowledgeable, and compassionate support. Their guidance through stretching exercises and rehabilitation made a meaningful difference in my recovery process.Whether it was the athlete recovering from a painful injury, or a gentleman in a wheelchair catching a ball, a lady working with weights, or a shy young person recovering from a painful injury, treatment was special for each one with patience and compassion.There’s a wonderful quote that says: “A healthy person has a thousand wishes, but a sick person has only one.”Recovery can be both physically and emotionally demanding, but the calm and supportive environment at Starpro helped make that journey far more manageable. I am sincerely appreciative of the care and professionalism shown throughout my treatment.Maria M.read moreEli M.
Everyone in the facility is among the best of the best. Working with James Cascio and John Mclean, especially, they truly work with you one-on-one and care not only about your injury but also about who you are outside of that injury.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole, my physical therapist! After my rotator cuff repair surgery, I was nervous about the long road to recovery, but Nicole made the entire process so much easier. Her expertise, patience, and encouragement helped me regain strength and mobility faster... than I ever imagined. She took the time to explain every exercise, made sure I was comfortable, and truly cared about my progress every step of the way.A special thank-you also goes to Michelle, the amazing receptionist, who was always so friendly, organized, and accommodating with my scheduling. Her warm welcome at every visit set such a positive tone.This outpatient rehabilitation center is an absolute gem — professional, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to their patients’ well-being.

Informative, thorough, attentive and professional. Therapists are constantly evaluating and adjusting your therapy based on your feedback. I’ve been to several other PT before and believe many just go through the motions to collect insurance payments. From the front desk to the facility,... cleanliness and professionalism of the therapists, I wouldn’t choose any other PT.read moreDavid Z.
