Excellent4.8★★★★★ review us on ★★★★★ I really appreciate how customer focused the team is at Ivy Rehab. Kevin’s knowledge and attention to detail was key to my rapid recovery. I would recommend this team to anyone. ★★★★★ Outstanding Physical Therapy Experience for Lower Back TreatmentI recently completed about 10 sessions at Ivy Rehab in Naperville, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the staff.My treatment involved working with three exceptional therapists: Maria, Karissa, and Shika. Each brought their unique expertise and dedication to my recovery, making every session highly effective and personalized. They took the time to understand my specific issues and tailored their approaches accordingly. They all had a great sense of humor and were a lot of fun to work with.A highlight of my treatment was experiencing dry needling for the first time. I was initially apprehensive, but Maria’s expertise and gentle approach made it a surprisingly pleasant and hugely successful part of my therapy. The relief I felt after just a few sessions was incredible. I was up and walking within hours.Overall, the team at Ivy Rehab provided top-notch care that significantly improved my lower back condition. Their combined knowledge, skill, and compassionate care made all the difference. I highly recommend this office to anyone in need of physical therapy and not just lower back.Thank you, Maria, Karissa, Shika, Hamza and Melissa, for your outstanding service!Response from the ownerIt’s great to hear this feedback!

John has helped me to keep active on and off the golf course.The folks there are great and extremely friendly. I recommend Ivy to anyone who wants to improve the quality of their life emotional, physically and intellectually.Response from the ownerIt’s great to hear this feedback! Thank you for taking the time to share your review! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Island Park ★★★★★ Everyone here is professional, personable, patient and knowledgeable. I went in with an ankle injury and Dr. Aaron created a tailored plan for my recovery. The team adapted my plan as I improved and even treated other injuries in my knee and back. They responded quickly via the app and were flexible whenever I needed to reschedule. If I ever need PT again I will definitely go back. Also, shout-out to Josh for spending dozens of hours getting me set up with exercises! He and Dr. Aaron also have the best sports trivia and have a unique way of making all their patients feel comfortable from day one. Thank you!Response from the ownerIt’s great to hear this feedback! Thank you for taking the time to share your review! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, Westfield ★★★★☆ I went to Ivy Rehab after having knee surgery (MPFL reconstruction). I highly recommend this facility for post surgery care and rehab. My main provider was Caroline and she was diligent about helping me achieve my ROM goals, eased my anxiety about regaining quad function, and ultimately helped me get back on my feet and walking normally again. She was patient with me, but also pushed back when I wanted to do things I wasn’t strong enough to do yet. I also would be remiss if I did not give recognition to the main aide, Jerry. Jerry was always super friendly and provided much needed comedic relief when I was feeling low. Ultimately, Ivy Rehab helped me through a very vulnerable time and I was walking pain free after leaving their care. I am very grateful for my PT experience at Ivy. However, I felt that I outgrew this facility about 3 months into my recovery once I had regained full ROM, some strength, and was walking with no pain. Ivy Rehab helped me to achieve my rehab goals, but I was looking for more intense strength (weight) training in the next phase of my recovery, so I transitioned providers. If I were to have another surgery, I would definitely go back to Ivy Rehab for post surgery care, though.Response from the ownerWe appreciate the 4-star review! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Hoboken – Midtown ★★★★★ My 4 year old son has been receiving speech therapy from Ivy Rehab for a year and he loves it!
