Overall the physical therapy was successful. I gained strength and my pain was resolved. The therapists are skilled and knowledgeable. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. The main concern is lack of focused attention from the therapists. My therapist generally was bouncing between two and three patients during my hour. I usually had to wait for my therapist between exercises to learn what exercise was next. I also needed to remind my therapist of which side had the injury and what level we did the exercise on the last visit. If the level of attention and documentation could be improved, it would be five stars. Another patient who lives in my same building indicated a similar experience.

I loved the staff and my initial checkup was great but the fact that you’re getting treatments within an open office environment without any privacy made me decide to go ahead with a different provider. Everyone is crammed into one room and the person next to me was even bumping into me at one point doing their exercises. Also from a covid perspective this didn’t make sense to me.

This review is long overdue! I’d worked with Spear at a different location back in 2021, but alas 2022 greeted me with another flare-up of existing chronic running injuries so I returned this time to the BK Heights location to work with Scott Louis. From our first consultation day to our final session, I always felt like Scott had my interests in mind, while also giving me the occasional tough common-sense recommendations I needed to hear (as a distance runner, I think we all struggle with pulling back on training load). I’ve had plantar fasciitis that I manage reasonably well since 2018 but if I go too long without proper stretching and physio work, it will come back to haunt me. Thankfully, Scott and the team at Spear always seem to have the right exercises to target muscle imbalances/weaknesses. I’m glad to have them in the city to work with and recommend them 10000%

Spear Physical Therapy is top notch! Wonderful and experienced therapists and office staff. Everyone is so hospitable and knowledgeable. I trust and highly recommend them! Cristina's departure was a big loss...please find a new pelvic PT ASAP.

Ezgi is fantastic and so is the full Spear staff! Much appreciate their support and flexibility.

SPEAR Physical Therapy center is a very friendly, comfortable place to go through the process of rehabilitation. I can recommend it to everybody who needs this type of therapy. My personal therapist Jacinthe Duvinage is the most professional, knowledgeable, friendly and carrying physician. Her encouragement and positive attitude helps me enormously to go through difficult period after the surgery. My great thanks to Jacinthe and the whole office for help and support.

My experience and quality of care at Spear PT - Brooklyn Heights was outstanding. Aidan and Afsana helped me regain use of my right arm after shoulder surgery while providing 5 star customer service. I highly recommend Spear to my friends and family.

I've had a really great experience at Spear particularly working with Scott. He's super personable, highly knowledgeable in his field, and clearly invested in my well-being. The facilities are very nice. There is a noticeable positive team dynamic among the staff, which greatly enhances the overall experience.

I have been here multiple times for multiple reasons, from joint replacement recovery to tendon issues. The therapists and assistants and well-trained, kind and friendly. The place is busy and the other patients are inspiring. I’ve been to other PT places prior to Spear but once I started coming here, I stopped looking elsewhere.

I couldn't walk without feeling pain the first time I went to Spear, and now I am running more than ever in my life. Jacinthe is amazing. She not only helped me recover from the injury, but also designed a program to make me a stronger runner that I am sure will prevent other injuries and make me faster.

Spear Physical Therapy has twice helped me recover from an injury. They are very flexible with scheduling and understanding if you need to cancel an appointment. Staff has been very friendly and patient. Can particularly recommend Suvarna Jangada as a physical therapist.

This place is great, the therapist are knowledgeable and looking at for their patients. The equipment is always kept clean and the place it nice overall. They have a big slogan on the wall that says Life Can’t Wait and it motivates you on the rough days to push through.

Spear PT is such a great place for all your different types of physical therapy needs. I have seen a couple therapists for varying issues I have had and they have all helped get me back on track to feeling my best. Highly recommend!

It was a great pleasure working with Michael Schmutter these last months. I’ve kept to my prescribed routine, and I’m certain that his help and wisdom has been the reason I’m feeling relief in my lower back. Although I had to suspend my visits for personal reasons, I'm grateful to him for giving me these tools for survival. He's changed my life! Should my condition worsen, he’ll be the first place I turn.

Everyone at the Bklyn Heights location knows what they’re doing; I’ve worked with several of them, and they’ve all helped me make real progress since my knee surgery. And invaluable bonus: every single person here — the PT folks and the receptionists — is absolutely lovely. Couldn’t be happier!

Excellent therapists, nice place everyone polite and helpful. I don’t feel rushed and I definitely get a lot of attention

I have been going to Spear for a few weeks and truly love the staff. My PT Michelle is super amazing and really listens and tries to help with your problem. I came in with a really bad headache due to my stiff neck, poor posture at work and being on the computer all day. Highly recommend Spear !!

Nice facility, highly knowledgeable staff, and very friendly vibe. Cali Ann Canal is terrific and helped me greatly with shoulder and hand therapy. Highly recommend this location for OT/PT.

I am so glad I found this place. They are professional, polite, engaging, and just really cool. I’ve gotten excellent care for my fractured wrist. Great team at Spear. Thank you Valerie and Kate

I've used Spear on two separate occasions for a host of issues and both times they've been fantastic. First Hannah, then Jacinthe, they're both attentive, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. They make sure they understand how you're feeling each time and adjust accordingly. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

I've had a great experience with Hannah and the Spear team handling a foot and shoulder issue. In the initial visit I was asked thorough questions about the issues and I was given video exercises to do at home. Hannah took the time to explain what the end goal was and how to get there, and worked with me as things progressed. She and her team kept an eye on me as I went through the paces, making any necessary corrections. I was able to get appointments quickly and convenient to my schedule. Most importantly, even though you are in the room with others, I never felt unsafe regarding COVID. (and I've been very careful). Everyone, staff and patients, is required to wear a mask and the ventilation is good.

My highest recommendation on all levels. Therapists are outstanding, very knowledgeable in their field, sympathetic and understanding, Their assistants do a great job helping and encouraging clients with exercises under the therapists' supervision. Front desk staff is efficient and most helpful! A-1 all the way!

As I work with Christina I learn proper alignment and techniques to maximize the effectiveness of the exercises. She is patient and thorough and she provides excellent information and insights during our sessions. I really like both the virtual sessions and the video lessons to use in between. Glad I found Spear during the pandemic.

I've had a great experience working with Leah at Spear. Leah listens to all of my concerns before applying her expert knowledge to help progress in my rehabilitation.

I had heard many wonderful things about Spear, but I was still surprised how impressed I have been with my treatment experience with Alberto Segura, Jr., PT. DPT. In these times, when M.D.’s rarely can spend more than ten minutes with you, imagine someone working with your mobility issues and pain, and patiently showing you and encouraging you to use your muscles differently. Alberto made the same diagnosis of my condition, as did a thorough M.D. fourteen years ago, however, Alberto made the diagnosis during the first visit, in a half hour. I received physical therapy in 2008, however, there is no comparison with the physical therapy I am receiving now. Alberto is extremely knowledgeable and professional. It is obvious he has a great deal of experience working with patients. I would say he is determined that you use muscles you’ve been neglecting, mostly the core muscles; yet he is still reassuring, kind, thoughtful and funny. For my birthday, he even put me on the shuttle machine (after an excellent massage)! I could try and do that exercise on the leg extension machine at the gym but I guarantee, I would NOT have done it correctly. I highly recommend Alberto! As for the rest of the staff, they could not be more lovely and attentive. The young ladies at the desk (Keisha who called this AM) always greet me, there are masks out for the patients, the setup is very convenient, everyone is on time and organized, and the assistant/trainees I have worked with Anna and Chanel are attentive and very helpful!

Spear Physical Therapy on Clark is the best. Scott has been a great PT; I'm feeling so much better after only a few visits. He listens and is genuinely interested in making each visit pleasant and productive Everything from scheduling to billing has been a breeze.

I’ve been going to Christina Bateman for pelvic floor therapy after giving birth, and she’s wonderful. So knowledgeable, gentle but with authority. I highly recommend her! The facility is clean and the rest is the staff create a really friendly environment.

Working with Spear PT transformed my quality of life. Before finding their team, I suffered from chronic migraines and pain in my neck and shoulders, and had accepted that this was my fate. The accelerated therapy session with Scott, Shaq, and the entire staff at Spear completely alleviated this pain and I can proudly say this is not an experience I worry about any longer. Each step of the process from scheduling, intake, to at home exercises and progress check-ins were carefully well-explained to me, making the experience easy and something I found myself looking forward to. I cannot say thank you enough to Scott and the team at Spear for the work you do. Go see them!

Spear Physical Therapy has been a great place to visit weekly. Michael Schmutter provided excellent care. You could tell that he researched and evaluated my problems personally, and took efforts to refine our exercises and workouts. The entire staff was welcoming especially at the front desk and the assistants, Chris and Shaq. I felt great improvement over the 4 months of regular work and have learned a lot.

Christina "Chris" Cottrell at Spear Brooklyn Heights has been a lifesaver for me! Chris and the entire support team are a pleasure to work with and have been consistently excellent and effective. I 'm very physically active with my work and work out/weight training regimen. I am now seeing her for a second sports injury. She fixed me up so well initially I had to ask her what area we first worked on when I came back in this time. Thank you Chris!

I initially came to Spear for treatment following traumatic leg injury caused by a vehicular knockdown. Also treated successfully for vertigo. I started therapy using a cane and graduated without the need for one. After a number of months of complete improvement, I developed balance issues and tremors due to Dystonia. Considering my initial positive experience, I had no hesitation to return to Spear to deal with my latest issues. I have found the therapists to be very professional and caring. The support staff are friendly and welcoming. The treatment facility is always bright, clean, and organized.

My first experience at Spear. Christina Cottrell and the entire staff was professional and competent. The facility was clean and well run. I especially appreciated the respect and patience given to seniors. This is not always the case!

Recently, I successfully completed a three-month PT regimen with the Spear clinic location on Clark St., Brooklyn Heights. My physical problem was the acute pain in my lower back muscles, especially the gluteus maximus, which occurred when I walk too much at one time, or walk up & down on hills, or walk on the treadmill. I choose Spear because of its excellent reputation in physical therapy practice as well as the “word of mouth” recommendations from friends and from my own wife who had used the very same Spear location after fracturing several pelvic bones from a fall. My therapist, Jacinthe Duvinage, PT, DPT, was outstanding. With patience and great clinical skill, she showed me the best exercises and routines for strengthening my lower back, providing insightful feedback and correction. In addition, Jacinthe gave helpful instruction on how to improve my balance. I walk with a cane, and have balance issues, the result of an impaired leg from a cervical spinal cord injury, (and the additional complication of severe spinal stenosis). I have worked with several physical therapists, and Jacinthe is the very best. Based on my observations during resting interludes, the other therapists were giving their patients (all age groups) the same level of caring and careful attention for which Spear is known. Several days after my last Spear session, I saw my neurologist for my quarterly visit; he gave me the usual balance tests and noted that my balance was the best since he has been seeing me as his patient. My lower back muscles don’t hurt anymore when I do a strenuous walk or exercise on my gym’s treadmill, which gives me the motivation to continue the exercise regime which Jacinthe developed for me. Without hesitation, I recommend Spear as the gold standard in physical therapy practice.

Nick Puleo was fantastic! He was patient, knowledgeable and personable. He helped me with an IT band and sciatica issue. I am pain-free for the first time in 6 months and can return to running. I highly recommend Nick.

It’s the Therapist that makes the difference. Alberto is knowledgeable and professional tell him where it herts and he corrects it. The rest of the staff is caring

The staff and the therapists are great. The atmosphere is most pleasant. I really look forward to my therapy sessions.

My occupational therapist, Cali Ann Canal, has helped me tremendously to heal a broken wrist during the past four months. Her care, concern, kindness, knowledge, expertise, professionalism and friendship have accompanied me throughout the healing process, I am very, very appreciative of all her hard work and dedication and feel very, very lucky that our paths have crossed. I also can highly recommend her colleagues and the staff in general at the Brooklyn Heights Spear Center. It is a warm, caring and professional place to get healthy. You are in very good hands there.

These guys are pros at helping you help yourself to be stronger and stay active.
