Patient Reviews & Testimonials

The physical therapy that I received at Shift Integrative Medicine lives up to the name of the organization. I was referred for specific treatment of an arthritic knee. Their assessment of how my use of my entire body, as well as my mental outlook, affected the functioning of the ailing part was a most effective approach. Sarah Mintz's positive, upbeat attitude made the treatment a teamwork effort, leading to immediate results as well as to motivation for maintaining the progress in the future.

Thank you to the staff at Shift – a talented group of knowledgeable, friendly, and professional individuals. It all starts with Anders, Fatimah, and Taylor who manage the front desk. Warm and cheerful, they go out of their way to help you. Yoga Meeting regularly with Lindsay, my yoga instructor, has been an invaluable investment. Lindsay provides the support I need to begin learning about yoga by customizing my lessons, challenging me, and incorporating calmness into our sessions. She has extensive knowledge of yoga and is a great source of encouragement for me. Massage Therapy Elizabeth and Leslie are very intuitive and talented massage therapists who know their craft. They are professional, respectful, and really tuned in to their clients. They have been terrific in understanding my back problems and finding the right techniques and pressure. All of your efforts truly make a difference and I sincerely thank you!

After a shoulder injury that left me in significant pain, I visited Dr. Andrew Feldman at University Orthopedics, who prescribed physical therapy. He specifically suggested Shift Integrative Medicine, where I'd already had two previous positive experiences. Well, once again, I'm impressed with this facility. But it's more than the space and equipment. I'm fortunate to be a patient of Jesse Green - Doctor of Physical Therapy and Licensed Massage Therapist, She's the consummate professional, combining a thorough expertise of how the bones, muscles, tendons and tissues of the body work along with an engaging, caring personality. She listens closely and adapts her program to what she hears each time I visit. So, the healing process remains flexible based upon my current situation.Bottom line: my condition has improved significantly. What I thought might be a time consuming ordeal, is - with Jesse - a pleasurable experience with real results.

The Staff at Shift PT, from the Front Desk to the Therapists, are absolutely fantastic. From the time one arrives until the time one leaves you always feel welcome no matter what time of the day. Anders and Fatima at the Front Desk, who always have a smile on their face, are so courteous, top notch and so pleasant to deal with whether making or changing appointments or dealing with insurance issues. The atmosphere at Shift PT is professional and yet has a personal touch which includes all the staff. To My Physical Therapists, Matt Leve, Lindsay Grobman and Massage therapist Elizabeth Bragg, I want to express my profound gratitude for the quality of service, professional care, treatment and attention I have received from them during my therapy sessions. They have been so very helpful to my being able to recover excellent ranges of motion from a major shoulder surgery and total knee replacements. Through them, I have discovered that no matter what one's age, it is not an excuse to not have a high level of mobility. They have gained my trust as professional care givers and helped me regain my strength and potential through physical exercise, stretching maneuvers, yoga and massage. Matt's Feldenkrais therapy through stretching maneuvers has been extremely effective to increasing my total body mobility. The PT staff has always been encouraging to put things into perspective and providing the tools to get through to a speedy recovery. I look forward to continuing at Shift PT for Physical Fitness, Yoga and Massage and would highly recommend family and friends to this facility. Respectfully submitted.

Worked with a physical therapist named Jesse Green. I found her to be efficient, personable, and helpful. Would recommend her specifically.

Shift is wonderful! It is very clean and continues to be cleaned all during the day. I mainly have been working with Rachel Parrotta and she is a great therapist. I've made a lot of progress with her and am looking forward to making more. Within 10 minutes she had figured me out. She is very encouraging. The rest of the staff is very nice and the front office is great too. I've had physical therapy in several different places but none of them can hold a candle to Shift. When you need physical therapy run (if you can) to Shift.

I like this place very much! Especially I would like to express my gratitude to Physical therapist Rachel Parotta. She is an exceptional therapist and a wonderful person. The Front desk representative Fatimah is very friendly and responsible. thank you!

Excellent

i went to their office and scheduled an appointment for hand therapy. When I showed up at the appointment hour, I was told that I had not made an appointment and that I had told the receptionist that "I would call.". They had given me an appointment card which didn't have with me. However, I mentioned the therapists name and there was no recognition or comment by the staff. I was treated politely but very defensively and turned away. When I got home, I found the appointment card and saw that they had scheduled a pelvic floor and yoga specialist for my hand. They did not have the integrity to call me and tell me of their error, and re-schedule a hand specialist, Instead, I travelled to their office to be turned away.

Atmosphere: Very welcoming. Positive energy. Customer Service: Extremely helpful. Everyone there is there to help you feel better. (the only thing you have to take ownership of is your insurance - and that's on you!) Cleanliness: To a T! Treatment: ShiftPT is your one stop shop to get better. Not limited to just your body, but also healing for your mind as well. -- The people: Dr. Joe - I followed Dr. Joe from his previous establishment at Space for Wellness. He knows his craft and understands the body to a T. I go to him for chiropractic treatment as I have scoliosis and I've been having neck strains. But his knowledge doesn't stop at chiropractic treatment. He's the guy that people go to when they've been to 10 other doctors about a bodily ailment that can't seem to be healed, and he will most likely than not be able to help you find "a cure". I would highly recommend him to anyone. Anu - This lady is amazing. The first time I met with her I had no idea what was going on, but hear me out. I felt like I was in a therapy session with some body work being done, but that's just it, the topics that were discussed, and the things that she pointed out, were extremely eye opening and made me really think about things. The 2nd and 3rd time I went back, I can't say enough, when I leave her sessions, I'm always in the most relaxed state of mind and my body always feels so much lighter. She heals by feeling where's there's strain in your body, and because certain parts of your body are tied into different emotions, she'll inquire about certain topics. It's hard to explain.. But she strongly believes that happiness and balance in mind can heal any body ailments - and she helps you reach that balance. Mila - She's the acupuncturist here and really nice and has a keen understanding of the body as well. I'm fairly new to acupuncture. I always recommend it because I know it's supposed to help with blood flow and just stabilizing your body in general. I've strained my neck twice in the past 2 months and sometimes the sessions would eliminate the pain for a few days and it would be amazing, and other sessions it didn't seem to do much - but I'm not an expert in acupuncture so I can't really judge what should happen each time. -- The takeaway - It's a great establishment. The people at ShiftPT are here to help and guide you to a balanced and healthier lifestyle and/or helping you heal from a past injury and reach a balanced and healthier lifestyle. Sometimes we just need some help along the way, and the people at ShiftPT will do just that.

This is absolutely THE place you have been looking for. They are friendly. The offices are immaculate without being full of stuff that makes you wonder why your bill is so high. The front end office people are really knowledgable about all benefit plans and completely take the stress out of billing. The therapists are miracle workers. I have been doing PT and OT for decades and this is the most successful outcome I have ever had. My recovery from hand surgery was spectacular with Leslie D. I was told in 2013 that I had "end stage non-recoverable arthritis" in my right shoulder and could expect never to throw a ball again. After working with Kenan and Michael I had unbelievable range of motion return and significant pain reduction. I never thought I would ever have this degree of return. My son and I played catch for the first time in years. What's that worth? Highest recommendation: 50 stars.

My wife and I have both been receiving physical therapy for about 8 months. I am impressed with the facilities which are clean, spacious, comfortable and containing many devices for measuring and treating problems. I am 82 years old and went for problems with balance, stiffness, dizziness, and neck pain. I received help for all of my conditions. When I started, I had problems with falling and walking. Now I have not fallen for several months, and my balance is much better. My therapist, Sari Weissbaum, is extremely caring and has given me stretches that have helped me reduce pain and restore mobility. The staff are all experienced and effective and the administrative staff are also very efficient. Shift also offers excellent acupuncture services and other services as well.

I decided to try out some acupuncture for some chronic calf pain and shoulder tightness. I had an hour appointment with Mila Mintsis. It was above and beyond what I expected. I walked out feeling much better both mentally and physically. The acupuncture and cupping treatment helped tremendously and I made huge gains in my calf and shoulder in just one hour. I'm definitely hooked.

Shift has been an incredible experience. Sal, who manages the billing department, has been incredibly helpful. I have a very unique catastrophic insurance plan through AMA and it gives everyone headaches. It was definitely giving Sal a bit of trouble initially, but his communication throughout was extraordinary and he did get everything straightened out rather quickly. As for the atmosphere of the place, I absolutely love it. The PT area is a huge open space with brand new equipment that is all maintained very well (super clean). The vibe is really good...good music, lots of laughter, great lighting. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable...and hilarious (see: Leslie Diamond). I've seen numerous patients stop in unsolicited just to say high or update the therapists on how they are doing...occasionally with things totally unrelated to the therapy they received. That's just a testament to the type of relationships that the therapists build with each patient. The staff I have experienced has great communication and expresses a lot of concern for the patients on both a medical/therapeutical and personal level. There seems to be a wide range of ages and injuries there, so they seem to have a good reputation for all levels of therapy. My personal treatment has been excellent. I don't have much to compare it to, but the recovery is definitely ahead of schedule without the feeling like they are pushing me faster than they should. I would definitely recommend ShiftPT.

ShiftPT made such a difference in my life! Their hand therapy staff nursed me back to health and made me laugh along the way. Everyone was so helpful and the space is really nice to be in. I've been recommending it to my friends ever since. Thanks, ShiftPT!!
