Kate B.

I came to StarPro for a wrist and knee ailment I have had for years. I had tried several other physical therapy centers and nothing seemed to work. Joe completely fixed my knee issue in 6 weeks when other centers made no improvement after 5 months. Danny helped my wrist issue completely resolve after over a decade of pain. They are both friendly, kind, fun, and make you look forward to going to PT/OT. I cannot recommend them enough!

louis M.

Everyone was very welcoming and supportive. Richa Desai understood my injury and proceeded to transform me from a limping arthritic man to someone ready to compete in competitive sports. Highly recommend

Matthew R.

Spent about 3 months in OT with Danny Adams following hand surgery. Absolutely incredible bedside manner and he makes you feel so at ease during therapy - which can be quite stressful at times. The facility itself is spacious and well kept, seems like they everything you could need for any kind of PT/OT. Highly recommend this location and definitely ask for Danny if you have any OT needs!

Sylvester C.

I cannot recommend StarPro enough, specifically Daniel, the Occupational Therapist who helped me through a rough hand tendon injury. When I first started, I was worried about whether I’d ever get the functionality back, but Daniel made the entire recovery process seamless.He is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, but what really sets him apart is his personality. Not only did he get my hand back in working order, but he was also absolutely hilarious. His sense of humor made every session something to look forward to. If you’re looking for a highly skilled OT who can help you heal, Daniel is your guy!

Cynthia M.

I saw Madeline Partridge for PT and she was extraordinary. A fantastic practioner of the highest quality. I also appreciated that StarPro is well run. It was easy to access the front desk, and make/change appointments. The facility is very clean. I'm very glad to have discovered StarPro PT.

Kent S.

StarPro was recommended to me by a good friend who had recently gone through PT for a hip replacement. She recommended Jacueline DiForte at StarPro-Chelsea and I signed up to take rotator cuff PT with her. She was terrific: friendly, professional, highly knowledgable; she id' d the best exercises; showed me the precise way to do them, the 'reps' and 'sets' needed. Importantly, she watched me and corrected my form as needed. I found the staff, friendly and professional and would go back!

Natalie H.

I couldn't be happier with my experience at StarPro Physical Therapy and my absolutely amazing occupational therapist Daniel Adams. This was actually my 4th series at StarPro (I like adventure sports, and yes, I'm a bit accident prone). This time I had broken my left elbow (olecranon fracture) and arrived 2 weeks post surgery unable to bend or straighten my elbow from it's 90 degree position, and had limited mobility with my left hand. Over the course of 3 very emotional months, Danny helped take me from 0 to an incredible 100% recovery. His light hearted humor kept my spirits up, his knowledge and confidence created a great game plan for my recovery, and his genuine concern to meet our goals helped push me to get my 98% of my full mobility back. I'm back in action and forever grateful to Danny for his help. I know every case is different, but if you trust the process and put the work in, he'll help you get real results. I would highly recommend StarPro and Danny to anyone looking for an occupational therapist!!
