I am so glad I chose a great location with a great physical therapist, Marcus. I have been going to physical therapy and working with Marcus and the staff for the past seven months. Everyone is very professional and helpful. Marcus has worked with me on many areas of body pain and discomfort. He is very knowledgeable and explains how to best cope with my pain on a daily basis. Marcus has definitely made my quality of life as pain free as possible.

I've had physical therapy a few times in my life, but this time it was post-surgery, and I couldn't be happier that I chose Jag. The entire clinical and therapeutic team get involved in your therapy, so you're never waiting for instruction or assistance during sessions. The facility is clean and they continue to take COVID-19 precautions by requiring face coverings, which I appreciate given the time staff and clients spend in close proximity with one another. The staff is friendly, helpful and dedicated to getting you back in full swing (doubly for me since I'm recovering from multiple rotator cuff and bicep tear surgery!). I highly recommend JAG and their excellent team.

I stared getting PT at the Morning Side Heights location 2 months ago after intensive foot surgery. I went from extreme difficulties walking & having to use a crutch, to now walking on my own, more stabilized and stronger each week.The facility is clean, comfortable and runs smoothly.The reception staff are all very pleasant and efficient at what they do. The Therapists I’ve worked with (Jani, Joe, Agnus, John) have all been great & have done a wonderful job of helping me heal & get my strength back. They all seem to truly enjoy what they do which makes for a positive environment to heal in. With their help and knowledge I’ve made great progress. I’m glad to have found this place when I needed it. ??Thank you to everyone at Jag in Morning Side Heights!

Jag has been an excellent experience. I worked with Marcus Reis for several months following ACL knee surgery, from walking with crutches to returning to running. After visiting other PT offices around in the area, I was very pleased to find Jag. Marcus is very knowledgeable and attentive, and careful to tailor his programs to my goals at all stages of recovery. He always makes sure to thoroughly address all my questions, and provide exercises to do at home in between visits. The clinic is well equipped, even for more advanced exercises, and the PT assistants are great. Every visit to Jag was well worth it - I would highly recommend visiting this clinic. Thank you!!

The folks at JAG really helped me recover from neck and bicep injuries. I worked primarily with Janvi (and some with Marcus), and they were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They provided excellent care while I was onsite, and a clear and well-defined program to follow in my off days.I certainly intend to return to Jag, and this location specifically, for any future physical therapy needs.

Great Experience at Jag! I was personally followed by Marcus who is a very competent, knowledgeable Physical Therapist. His work on my shoulder was effectively improving the range of movement every time I had a visit. The exercises and advice were integrating his manual work. My short experience with Joe was as great as w/Marcus, he listened carefully and provide hints for my knee including an efficient training and rehab program.

Great physical therapy place for people of all ages. As someone in my 20s, I was looking for a therapist who would understand my issues and know how to help me get better. I worked with Janvi and she was very knowledgeable, experienced, patient, and friendly! All of the therapists and staff were great.

Marcus was extremely knowledgeable. During my first visit, he assessed my injury and developed a well-thought out rehabilitation plan. My progress was reevaluated at the beginning and end of each session and the plan was tweaked as needed. The staff that I worked with during each session were supportive and patient. When my Physical Therapy was complete, I felt like I was leaving with a new limb!

Great PT staff, friendly and professional. Worked with Marcus Reis, following my hip replacement surgery. Marcus was careful to learn exactly what I was capable of and how to follow the doctor’s prescription for services. The staff are all professional, courteous and fun, and work as a solid team. I have just completed my program today, and when we analyzed my progress, it was clear that I had made a wonderful recovery. A post-therapy program was devised and put up on an app for my phone so that I could continue my therapeutic exercises at home. I realized that I was going to miss going to Jag, which is something I never expected to say about physical therapy. Kudos to Marcus, Chris and everyone at Jag!

I've been to JAG twice now. Once before my hip surgery and after. Both times I felt like I was in great hands. I appreciate all the personal attention, expertise and the friendliness of everyone there. If you have a need for PT - this is the place!

I really appreciated the physical therapy I received under the care at Jag One. The atmosphere was very busy,yet you felt calm with music playing while your therapy is going on. I highly recommend Jag One to anyone who requires PT . The staff is caring, devoted, hospitable, and attentive to those who need assistance or guidance. I would not think twice about going there again if and when the situation arises. Miss you Consuelo. Come back soon...

Jag is an outstanding PT clinic. Physical Therapist Consuelo Pedro is outstanding, empathic and listens to all your concerns. Her assistant Mel is part of her team. She is wonderful helping you keep up with in your rehabilitation and concerns. Their support staff is a reflection of a caring organization. I would recommend Jag to anyone who is looking to get back to normal physically with the help of Jag

I had an exceptional experience at the JAG Morningside Heights Physical Therapy program. They have very competent therapists and delightful support staff, where they make you feel like a family. I appreciated their flexibility in scheduling my therapy sessions. I don’t usually trust people easily, but I was extremely comfortable in the hands of my therapists after my right shoulder rotator cuff surgery. I have made a significant improvement towards a full recovery through this program, together with the home exercises they assigned. I want to thank everyone for their help and support, and Dominique, an excellent therapist, is a real gem! I recommend JAG without any reservations.
