Bodhizone Physical Therapy and Wellness

I booked an appointment with Dr Sheetal Deo at this practice. The appointment was set for 1pm on Thursday, and at 6:30pm on Wednesday, I get an email from ZocDoc saying the office cancelled it. They didn’t even provide a reason, nor did they call me to explain what happened. It’s pretty rude to just cancel a patient’s appointment (especially with less than 24 hours notice) without even notifying them of why and not trying to reschedule it. Very unprofessional behavior and, needless to say, I won’t be rebooking the appointment. There are plenty of better and more professional doctors in this city. My advice: avoid!

Started physical therapy for a foot stress fracture with the trainer’s at Bodhizone and felt all the anxiety melt away after the first session. The staff is incredibly easy going and the fact that they remember each clients name as the walk through the door is beyond impressive, most appreciated! Looking forward to participating in the other services provided. Would highly recommend to anyone skittish about physical therapy to call Bodhizone, they have a way of guiding you into the exercises and before you leave you have a sense of accomplishment.

I’ve been getting physical therapy here for about 3 months so far. The facility is clean and the staff are friendly. The physical therapists are knowledgeable and extremely thorough. Regardless of the issue I’m having on the day of my appointment, they are eager to help me get to the bottom of the pain and help me to adjust my daily work activities, stretches, and workouts to find relief. I would highly recommend this facility and the doctors on staff.

The physical therapists were very nice, but they pressured me into receiving chiropractic services as well, even though I did not want this. The chiropractor definitely caused me new injuries! I went in with shoulder and elbow pain and came out with a new neck injury. Do yourself a favor and stay away!

For the first time I love going to physical therapy, thanks to the awesome staff at Bodhi Zone! Manali, Goldie and all of the therapists have been so helpful, friendly and great with answering all my questions whenever I go. Stephanie at the front desk is so friendly and great at helping navigate the confusion of insurance. The exercises I’ve done at Bodhi Zone have helped me to come back from a bad IT band issue after the NYC Marathon. As a running coach and active person, there’s nothing more frustrating than not being able to run. Manali and her staff gave me exercises to help me stay active and build up to running again, as well as suggested other fitness activities that could be beneficial and keep me moving.
I never have to wait when I go in, and don’t feel rushed like at some PT places. Everyone is very personable and friendly, making it a fun experience. There’s plenty of privacy and modern equipment to help with the recovery process. The floor with the workout zone is well-​equipped and the exercises they’ve given me have really helped build up my strength. I’m so happy I found this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great results and an awesome staff.

Bodhizone has helped me tremendously! Dave and the team are so knowledgeable and they all work together to help as much as possible. They all have the patient’s best interest in mind and always bring a positive energy to every session. I am a Physical Therapist myself and would highly recommend Bodhizone to anyone who is rehabbing an injury or dealing with chronic or acute pain. They offer Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care, acupuncture, and personal training. All of their professionals are well trained and extremely knowledgable. In addition, the wait time is minimal as they are very respectful of your time.

I came in with a running injury. Scott was great. Very thorough and patient, definitely knows what he is talking about. Obviously hoping not to get injured, but God forbid something happens, I will come back to Bodhizone.

Dr. Scott did wonders for my shoulder injury. His depth of knowledge is amazing, he is like an encyclopedia when it comes to the human body and his expertise doesn’t just stop at healing and recovery/​rehabilitation/​therapy, he is also the guy I would go to for any strength and conditioning/​performance optimization for sports etc. He has a ton of experience with high level athletes and has been on staff for several US Olympic teams. If you have any physical therapy needs or anything to do with the human body and movement at all, I would definitely go and see Dr. Scott at Bodhizone first. Highly recommended!

I came to BodhiZone Physical Therapy for my torn ACL recovery and they helped tremendously. The entire staff kept me updated and reassured every week to make sure that my rehab went well. A great atmosphere and very professional. I would highly recommend anyone in need of physical therapy go to this place!

I came to Bodhizone 6 months ago right after surgery for rotator cuff tears and now I am near completing full recovery of range of motion and strength. The staff are not only expert at their profession – at every level from sec’y to physical therapist – but they are patient, hospitable, genuinely concerned and dedicated to the client’s total welfare and comfort. I travel from the upper west side 3 times a week and the trip is so worth it.

I’ve been going to Bodhizone for a few weeks because of back pain and it’s been a good experience so far. The staff are friendly and nice and they usually take me on time. I’ve been working with Minali and she has helped me a great deal. She explains what the problem is and how the exercises and stretches help to heal my back. I’m grateful to be feeling much better.

I love this place!
I’ve been going to this location for a while now. (23^rd street location).
The staff has been nothing but amazing very helpful and very professional, specially I want to mention Stephanie the girl in the reception, she’s super sweet and always has a smile on, she does a great job scheduling my appointments and calling to remind me of them a day before. She was also very helpful recommending an acupuncture doctor which I have been seeing twice a week and I am very satisfied with.
The physical therapy stuff are doing a great job as well, they taught me a lot of exercises that were very helpful with my injury, I always feel at home and very well taken care of when I visit this clinic, they help relieve the pain and lift my spirits up on a rainy day :)
Like I said I love this place and I would recommend it to anyone.
Thanks, you guys (Stephanie, Kevin, Manali, David) are awesome.

Every single staff member at Bodhizone has been professional, warm, helpful, and kind. I look forward to going to PT weekly. I am listened to with respect, and the staff helps me with all present pain– not just the specific pain that brought me to PT in the first place.
Specifically, Manali has been a joy to work with. She is always reassuring, pleasant to be around, and adjusts the program to my specific needs.
I am grateful to have found a place that incorporates wellness through physical therapy, one and one exercise programs and training, Pilates, chiropractic care, etc.
I have been feeling increasingly better in my patella (knee problem from a dislocation), and look forward to continuing my work at Bodhizone!

The staff at Bodhizone on 23^rd street are all very kind. The front desk always greets you by name and with a smile. Also, the PTs really helped me with my injury and closely monitored my progress (torn tendon in wrist) each session. I slowly increased my strength training and I am almost 100%.

I go to PT 2x a week and have been doing so since July. I can not have asked for a better experience. Manali, Kevin, Karen1 and Karen2, and Stephanie have all been incredibly helpful and kind. Special Shout out to Stephanie and Karen2 for navigating my myriad of insurance questions and Choice card issues. They’ve bent over backwards sorting things out and keeping me updated on progress. Love them over there on 23^rd!!!

In my opinion, if you value your health, go somewhere else. The other reviewers here Christopher and Ashley are spot on… This company needs to get their act together.
Here’s the details:
I’ve gone for 3 sessions at their UES location. I met Erica, an excellent PT, and an exercise therapist, Sofoklis. Both were professional, friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, that’s as good as it gets.
Then the front desk Stephanie called and told me my insurance needed more processing time, and so she put all future appointments on hold while they get authorization. She would call me once things get sorted out. The call never came.
So a few weeks later, I called back. This new person said Stephanie’s left. She told me she’s not certain what’s going on so she offered to check it out for me and call me back. She never did. I had to call back two days later and yet another person said that they will give me an answer after the insurance company gets back in 4 business days. Well guess what? No one did!
In the next week, I tried calling the office. Now a recorded voice mail tells me to leave a voice message. I did. No one called back. I try again for a few days until last Tuesday, an AT&T message tells me the number is no longer in service.
Infuriated, I went searching on Google for an alternative way to contact the company. I found their website and emailed them about my experience. For the first time in the company’s history, someone FINALLY calls back: Very promptly, in less than a few hours, the business manager, Havia (sp) called to apologize, and explains the 69^th st location has closed. The founder, Scott Weiss, called me later also to apologize and directs me to their other locations. I found their 57^th st location the most convenient and decided to call Have back to tell him that I’d like to be referred to that location. He said that he’ll get someone to check on my insurance and call back. This was Wednesday. Well, you can guess if anyone has called about it.
On Friday, I received a call from the 23^rd St location asking if I’d like to make an appointment, when I already made it clear that I wanted the 57^th st location!!! At this point, I felt that I had given this practice enough chances, and it would not unreasonable that finally I lost my cool!!! This was the last straw for me. She apologized and says she was unaware, and was tasked to call patients from the closed 69^th st location. Anyway, I also asked about my insurance. She said Stephanie would get back to me only on Monday. SERIOUSLY??? You need more processing time???
Over this past month, my condition and the pain in my joint has worsened, and I was deprived from access to my PT because of their hopeless (mis)management. I’ve had enough of their empty promises. I’m moving to another practice.

I own a prenatal wellness company (Baby Zone NYC) and have been sending my pregnant clients to Bodhizone for the past 4 years for a variety of ailments (hernias, back pain, pelvic pain etc). I’ve gotten all rave reviews from my clients, many of which were able to enjoy other modalities of treatment such as pilates, massage and acupuncture covered by their insurance. At this point, I’ve introduced the Bodhizone Team to many of my Manhattan-​based OBs and they have started sending their patients there as well. Highly recommend!

I have been a patient here for a couple of years on and off for chronic neck and shoulder pain — much of this long term treatment, after the initial round of sessions, is for maintenance and «tune ups» to keep away flareups.
I have found the therapists all excellent and the entire practice dedicated to well-​being.
From phone calls to therapy, everyone is kind, helpful, and flexible with my schedule. Best of all, after much searching and working with other pt practices, with Bodhizone, I have gotten much caring help and have made so much progress and feel so much better. Highly, highly recommend.

Miserable experience. I went to bodhizone for PT/​massage for about a year, and in that time they lost three excellent therapists. Clearly a red flag. Each time somebody left I was not informed, showed up for my weekly appointments as usual and was told so-​and-​so no longer works there. On several other occasions, I was called a few hours before my appointment to go to their other location, and was asked to coordinate booking a room at the new place on my own. I literally, on more than one occasion, called the locations back and forth trying to coordinate my own service because they double booked my room. Fast-​forward a year since my last service, and I’m still getting calls from them about insurance checks they misplaced. Save yourself the hassle and try somewhere else.

I’ve been coming to Bodhizone for 6 months after ankle surgery. I tried a few more convenient PT locations (I live in another borough) before I landed here after being consistently unimpressed and frustrated by therapists who were neither engaged in creating a program for my recovery or simply unskilled. Scott Weiss (the primary therapist here) was a revelation. He has an impressive athletic PT resume (three Olympics among other achievements) and really cares. From day one he set a strategy for my recovery, explained everything along the way (he’s a wealth of knowledge on body mechanics) and is an amazing masseuse. I could go on and on, but if your got an injury you’re trying to come back from, Scott (and his team) are the best I’ve ever come across. I will never go elsewhere for PT.
