Had a really bizarre and dehumanizing experience here over two sessions. The doctors/PTs seem extremely distracted. The gym environment where the PT work is done can only be described as chaotic and unhelpful. The receptionist booked me for 20 min sessions when I needed & paid for 45 minutes. PT was kind but seemed overbooked & overworked. It’s an open-concept working space where you can see literally every other patient being worked with. Beds are rickety and only a few feet apart. My first session was interrupted for about 5 minutes by another patient asking the PT about her booking schedule. I’ve been to a hospital in a 3rd world country before and this whole experience felt like the same thing. I’m just lucky my insurance is taken elsewhere at a smaller clinic that offers a more private and curated experience. Let this place be your last resort option for physical therapy - it just isn’t worth your time
My therapist Michelle is amazing...lymphatic massage wrapping...my results are amazing. Thank you. Joe
Prior to the appointment, the office contacted me to request that I arrive earlier than scheduled. I accommodated this request specifically to be helpful. Despite arriving early, I waited approximately 40 minutes before being seen.
During the visit, I first spoke with intake staff and then with a Physician Assistant (PA). I explained my symptoms in detail, including pain under my left scapula following a lifting injury, as well as lower back pain. I was told that only one issue could be addressed during the visit. As a patient without medical training, I was not given guidance on how to proceed to receive care for multiple areas of pain, nor was it explained why both concerns could not be evaluated.
I never saw or spoke directly with a physician. At one point, my case appeared to be discussed in a public hallway outside the exam room, which I could hear through the door. This made me uncomfortable from both a privacy and professionalism standpoint.
The PA recommended X-rays and trigger point injections. When I asked whether an MRI might be appropriate, given that this felt like a muscular injury related to lifting, the question was dismissed without explanation. I was not given a clear understanding of what trigger point injections are, what they treat, or what outcome to expect.
I completed the X-rays immediately. While waiting, I noticed used tissues or napkins left on chairs in the waiting area and pointed this out to staff. The concern was acknowledged briefly but not addressed, and the debris remained in place throughout my time there.
When I returned to schedule the trigger point injections, I encountered significant confusion among front-desk staff. One staff member stated she was leaving and could not assist me, did not know who my PA was, and sent a message to another staff member. The next staff member was on the phone, then appeared unaware of my situation and said she had not received any message. I ultimately had to open my own chart and show her the orders myself. When I asked whether the injections could be done the same day, given that the X-rays had just been completed, she laughed at the question.
I was told that insurance approval would be required, that I would not be notified of the approval, and the procedure was scheduled two weeks out. I am still in pain and left the office without any interim plan for pain relief, no explanation of the findings, and no clarity on whether or when someone would review my imaging with me.
At the end of the visit, I did not understand:
What the likely cause of my pain is
Whether a physician reviewed my case
What the X-rays may show or when results will be discussed
What trigger point injections are or how they will help
What I should do in the meantime to manage pain
I made every effort to be cooperative, flexible, and respectful throughout the visit. Unfortunately, I left feeling like an inconvenience rather than a patient seeking care.
I was supposed to see Dr. Soo Kim.. but never saw her.
Horrible treatment. They will run you around to all of their doctor associates and you will not actually receive any real help for your issue. They schedule appointments and do not see you until 4 or 5 hours later, for a 10 minute visit. They have no regard for the patient's time or concerns. The most important question is do you have insurance, where is your referral, and that is basically the bulk of your help. Zero compassion at this office for patients. Be prepared to be treated like you did something wrong, when you enter into their medical practice for help and understanding.
My Mt Sinai experience with Dr Zakhary was excellent. She explained the testing done as well as her diagnosis and recommendations with the utmost clarity, giving me ample time for questions. Her knowledge and experience is deep and her manner both friendly, warm and professional. All you could ask for from a physician. I am very glad to be under her care.
