This is a review of one of the therapists, not the location, which I haven't used. Emma Termina was…read morea sub today at a different locale in Brooklyn, which I use, and was excellent. I also saw her work with two others during my hour (typically 2-3 clients per therapist at my locale) and noted that her attentive listening skills, careful monitoring of correct positioning (even from across the room) and thoughtful selection of moves based on supplied info was the same high quality for each client. She's also got a warm, humorous but also professional demeanor that put me at ease and made me feel secure about my care and even made it pleasant experience. I do not passionately crave all types of exercise, so that was a good motivator. Again, she was subbing for just one day, but I understand that she's new to the Prospect practice, so thought it might be helpful to provide this single-visit snapshot.

Went to start PT at the Gowanus location and there was a lot of miscommunication about referral…read morerequirements and ended up not being able to be seen despite confirming the appointment several times with Spear and arriving to the appointment 15 min early (although this specific location was apparently unclear that I confirmed and said I didn't). The front desk staff at the time I went was very hot and cold. First starting very defensive and not being kind that I was not aware I needed additional paperwork (I moved states) and then ending my saying they will do their best to help me. Overall unclear if I am going to go back considering I was highly frustrated with the communication and initial interaction (which is such a shame because the PTs seem to be knowledgeable).

I usually don't care too much about these things but after seeing visitors come in right after me get greeted on several occasions, it left me with a bad impression. Most my sessions were with one PT and when my sessions with her came to an end and I would be seeing someone else in between I decided to go with an office closer to home. This is definitely one of the bigger locations and there is often 2 or 3 patients being seen at once.

She is a consummate professional who brings encyclopedic knowledge of her field to each session along with an expert level of skill. But there's more to being an outstanding OT than being a brilliant practitioner.

If you need an OT who is a hand specialist, I can guarantee that when you visit Kathleen Siano your hand will be in good hands.

IF YOU VALUE YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION, like your date of birth, your address, and information about…read moreyour care, I strongly suggest avoiding this location of Spear. The majority of what bothered me wasn't that they breached HIPAA law several times in a phone call to me: they fed to me someone else's date of birth, and instead of asking me to give them information about myself for them to confirm my identity, they fed me this information. Again, before they knew I was me. But I was ready to excuse the person who made the mistakes. I did want to prevent it from happening again, though. It was the ways the clinical director handled it that really frustrated and angered me. When I expressed concern to the m, while they acknowledged that a mistake was made, they responded with a lot of assertions about tangential policies instead of the issue itself; they didn't assure me that they and/or the location would work to avoid the same kind of mistake in the future; when I addressed this hole in a second in-person conversation about it, they claimed they made this assurance in the previous conversation, citing lines they never expressed in that previous conversation; in the same, second in-person conversation, they told me they talked with the person who broke HIPAA law, and less than three minutes later, when I asked them if they talked with the person, they expressed their 'Yes' in a high voice -- very unconvincing. The clinical director's physical therapy guidance also lacked the level of care for movement quality and level of attention in general that I want for my own healing or that of anyone I care about.
