I finally found skilled professionals whose care helped me return to my superdemanding and active life. It doesn't get better than this! Thank you!!" - Debra Wiley-Hart, Performer & Voice & Acting teacher back to top ^ | | | | "The expertise of the CORE FOCUS PT physical therapists has been evident from the very first day. Every session of my treatment has been individually customized not only to my overall recovery plan but also to my specific needs for that particular day. But even more important than their excellent skills is their genuine caring and concern for me and my recovery. You are not just a patient at CORE FOCUS PT; you are treated as a friend whose condition they personally care about. Whether it was a therapist coming in earlier than her starting time or even coming in on a day that she would have not seen any patients at all, or their continually evaluating my progress and varying my treatment and exercises accordingly, the dedication and devotion of the staff is unparalleled. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CORE FOCUS PT TO ANYONE CONSIDERING ANY KIND OF THERAPY." - Simcha M. Druck back to top ^ | | | | "The staff is very friendly and welcoming. However Jennifer's level of dedication is unsurpassed. The newest addition to the team, Georgiana is equally dedicated. They both worked miracles on me. During my treatment they went above and beyond their responsibilities by showing me ways to improve my posture (was going thereafter foot/toe surgery) and so much more. It has been refreshing and empowering to have them as physical therapists!" - A very satisfied patient back to top ^ | | | | "My experience with the CORE FOCUS PHYSICAL THERAPY team has been extremely positive-from the proficiency of the therapist who treated me (Hector Lozada) to the courteous staff. When I started physical therapy, I had pain walking and standing. Over the course of time, CORE FOCUS PT has been an integral part of my improvement in walking/standing with less pain. They are knowledgeable, treat clients with genuine care and are accommodating with scheduling. I highly recommend them." - {Y.T} back to top ^ | | | | "I am writing you an email to thank you for all your services. I could not have run the marathon without you. I came in as one of the most inflexible people in the world, unable to run 15 miles and came out with flexibility good enough to run the marathon. Your advice on stretches, sneakers, and the foam were very helpful. You also managed to heal my ankle injury that I suffered playing basketball a month before the marathon. My thigh is still sore, but I'm in good shape after the marathon. If I decide to run the marathon or am in pain, I would definitely come to CORE FOCUS PHYSICAL THERAPY. Good luck with everything!" - Daniel Galperin back to top ^ | | | | "Here is a great success story for anyone who walks through the doors of CORE FOCUS PHYSICAL THERAPY. From initial meeting, assessment, diagnosis and treatment: THEY'RE SPOT ON AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING! Owing to the fact that I am a hard driven, sports minded 'Weekend Warrior', I suffered a dislocated shoulder/broken arm/torn rotator on September 8, 2007. On October 4th I began my PT with a group of therapists associated with Health South. They were all very nice caring professionals, but it soon became apparent that they were inexperienced with the severity of my injury. Even though I was participating in my PT and recovery, the range of motion and use of my arm became less and less. I didn't understand at the time that my shoulder was becoming frozen (and neither did they). Needless to say, I was depressed and despondent. I thought my life had changed and that I had permanently lost the use of my arm. Desperate, but still hopeful, Dr. Stuart Springer introduced me to Jen Monreal and CORE FOCUS in January of 2008. Jen took charge of my recovery and wasted no time. With a firm will, strong hands and a no nonsense approach, in five visits, Jen had my arm moving more than it had in the previous three months. Five more visits and I was seriously on the road to recovery. With hard work and dedication, on my part as well as hers, I'm 100%! Jen and CORE FOCUS PT gave me a PRICELESS gift, the use of my left arm. Thank you CORE FOCUS." - Hillary Josefsberg back to top ^ | | | | "PT's at CORE FOCUS know how to fix what hurts. Through a combination of electronics, massage and exercises I was able to feel relief from the very first visit. Style variation between PT's is minimal but just as effective. I was extremely satisfied with the treatment and have recommended them to my colleagues." - Kilmar Rivaski back to top ^ | | | | "Hector Lozada is a knowledgeable, gentle, PT professional, able to address every inquiry I had and he successfully set me on an exercise plan that yielded a full recovery. I've been to a number of physical therapists over the years and Hector stands out with his commitment to health resurgence along with an engaging "bedside" manner that will put anyone at ease." - Scott Craighead, SCRP, GMS back to top ^ | | | | "The staff at CORE FOCUS exudes positive energy and continuous support to their patients which creates an encouraging and friendly healing environment. This top-notch physical therapy staff respects patient's concerns and tailors individual treatments with the understanding and awareness that heals the body and also restores the patient's confidence in their bodies' abilities. My physical therapist, Hector, is a miracle worker with his thoughtful, intuitive and friendly energy, and his expert knowledge of healing the body. Hector radiates sincere care and concern for his patients and his individual treatment ensures happy and healthy results. I am grateful to Hector and the staff for helping me heal and always making me smile!" - Jennifer F. back to top ^ | | | | "Hector Lozada showed great skill and concern in treating my shoulder and hand pain. He is competent, caring, and always willing to answer questions. While I admit I was skeptical about the value of immersing my hands in hot paraffin, the combination of heat, electronic stimulation, and progressively more difficult exercises gave me great improvement. I also appreciated the skill and good humor of Angela, Franklin, Ivan, and Jennifer, the staff supporting Hector." -Tracy Scott back to top ^ | | | | "My experience with CORE FOCUS PHYSICAL THERAPY was nothing short of excellent. Each member of the staff was courteous, respectful and wonderful to be around. At all times I was made to feel at ease and comfortable. My shoulder injury has healed very well and I am able to play softball this summer. I attribute that to the work of the therapists and staff. I would recommend CORE FOCUS to anyone in need of therapy." -Arthur C. back to top ^ | | | | "Many thanks to CORE FOCUS and Jennifer for getting me back on my feet after a break to the 5th metatarsal. After 11 weeks in a CAM boot and on crutches, my foot was healed enough to bear weight, but I was limping badly from the inactivity and crutches. Even worse than the gait problem, I lost confidence maneuvering through the crowded streets of NY. Jennifer helped work my muscles back into shape and explained every step of the way what to expect and what was going on. She explained the whole process of bone repair, balance, and how the muscles and ligaments connected were all impacted by lack of use. It was very reassuring to have her expert guidance take me through the healing process. CORE FOCUS's entire team were wonderful – from Franklin and Ivan, to Jennifer with her amazing and intuitive understanding of the body, to the front desk scheduling crew who made the process easy and convenient during a working day. Jennifer methodically took me through the complete range of motion for a normal gait and exercises to stretch and strengthen bone and muscle. PT lasted from April until June. 5 months after the break, with two and half months with CORE FOCUS PT three days a week, it's as if nothing ever happened to the foot. I'm back in slipper shoes threading through the crowded streets and pressing down on the garden shovel weekends. A co-worker referred me to Jen and I've since referred other co-workers to CORE FOCUS. We are going to have a company Kiosk set up for us soon. I left each session feeling nurtured in a very special healing environment. This is a wonderful group to work with. Many thanks to Jennifer and the CORE FOCUS team." -Suzanne Hardy back to top ^ | | | | "When I first came to CORE FOCUS PHYSICAL THERAPY I was suffering from severe back spasms. While under the care of Georgiana Nastu (PTMS) my condition improved significantly. There therapists and aides at CORE FOCUS were genuinely concerned about my progress and were committed to getting me well again. I also found the administrative staff to be professional and exeptionally helpful with scheduling and billing matters. I highly recommend CORE FOCUS." -Sherry A. back to top ^ | | | | "I am fortunate to have found a physical therapy that is committed to getting you back on your feet with professionalism and friendly environment. The scheduling is so flexible, that the staff will work with you if you are in a rush, during lunchtime or after work. I would recommend CORE FOCUS if you are committed to getting back into sports after an injury an getting stronger than you were before. They monitor your progress and give you advice from stretching to strengthening. Keep up the good work. Thank you." -Leonil back to top ^ | | | | "Exceptional attention, outstanding professional manner and especially friendly staff. BRAVO! Georgiana, Franklin, Galyn and staff." -Tamir back to top ^ | | | | "I came to CORE FOCUS with both a wrist injury and hip injury. Jennifer and the rest of the staff are not only talented in terms of knowledge, but also wonderful, caring people. I am happy to say that the wrist is no longer an issue and the hip injury(the same one that Alex Rodriguez had) is also pretty much 100%. I rally enjoyed the fact that each session had some similarities as the previous one, but also some things changed to make it more interesting. I highly recommend CORE FOCUS PT to anyone and everyone, and my only regret is being healed and not able to see them anymore." -Raj back to top ^ | | | | "My experience with CORE FOCUS PT was outstanding. Their top-notch professional care includes the latest techniques. This allowed me to have a full recovery in a short period of time. Their staff is the friendliest I have seen around, with deep knowledge and understanding of their field. I sincerely recommend CORE FOCUS PT." -Martin Bameule back to top ^ | | | | "Professional workers, excellent environment, and.... I feel LIKE NEW!" -Fredy back to top ^ | | | | "I would like to share my experience with CORE FOCUS PHYSICAL THERAPY: Everyone is so great. Reception is warm, welcoming and professional. They always confirm your appointments and schedule around the patients' availability. Late appointments are available, which is helpful for those of us who don't live in the city. The therapists and their assistants are very professional and knowledgeable. I have had knee and joint issues for several years and after a few sessions I began to notice significant improvement. This would have never been possible if it wasn't for CORE FOCUS." -Sandra Marquez back to top ^ | | | |
