Pelvic fracture and shoulder pain. i am able to return to work, with PT continuing. From the girls you see at the front desk to all therapists they were always a pleasure to see. To name a few, Kelly, Cindy, Dana, Anthony, They were the ones I personally had. My grandson had Chris for a torn ACL. (12 yrs old). He was excellent. (I'm sorry if I omitted anyone). From observing them working with other people I could see their great skills. I have referred many people to Kessler and I will continue to do so. Thank you everyone. Kathleen Pelliccia

I wish I could give the staff at Thompson Healthcare & Sports Medicine - Toms River office more…read morethan 5 stars, everyone on staff is fantastic. Prior to living in the Toms River area and being a Thompson patient, I underwent several cervical spine epidurals to eliminate pain radiating from my neck down to my fingertips. These epidurals would work ~6 months and then I'd require another round for the pain. I started seeing Dr. Lynn and am thrilled that I haven't needed one since; it's been 4+ years since my last cervical epidural. Dr. Lynn is proactive in her approach to treatment, listens to any concerns I have, and is always available when needed. Dr. Josh takes every ache, pain, and concern into consideration when treating his patients and you never feel like your treatment is rushed. Krista, Thompson's nurse practitioner, always goes the extra mile and does everything she can to make her patient's lives easier. My sons (ages 16 and 20) are also patients and I wouldn't want them going anywhere else. I also have ongoing back issues and Thompson provided me with all the non-surgical options available: PT (Dr.'s Cassie and Pete), acupuncture (April), massage therapy (Andrea), lower lumbar epidurals (Dr. Yen) and ultimately when that wasn't enough to eliminate my pain, referred me to a great surgeon. While I'm not 100% pain-free, I'm in a much better place than I was. From the doctors and nurses to the office staff, they're all top notch. I like that Thompson isn't a stuffy, formal office where it's just "all business"; I know they're treating me and my family exactly how they would treat their own. You won't find a better team.

Wow, I actually gave someone a 5 Star Review....unbelievable in this day and age of inadequate…read moreservice levels across most businesses. In a nutshell, I would highly recommend Summit Physical Therapy for any of your PT needs. I'm sure that every patient's needs are handled differently, but for my full knee replacement, these 20+ PT sessions were just what the doctor ordered....literally. Unlike prior experiences with other PT groups, I had the same professional therapist each and every visit, and he personally managed my rehab and extensive table time, which involved heat, manual massage & flexibility therapy. I could never have asked for a more attentive and results-oriented Therapist. Additionally, the staff was extremely helpful in assisting with "post table" floor, stretching, balance and strengthening exercises. For me, every session lasted about 2 hours, and there was absolutely no wasted or down time. As for the facility, it is large, open-aired, comfortable and full of the latest strengthening and rehab equipment. Thanks to their assistance I have finished my therapy for now......but when my next need for PT arises, I will look no further than Summit Physical Therapy.

When I said I was in the worst pain of my life, in the ER multiple times because I was crying, unable to move without just earth-shattering pain, he told me, "Cancer patients are the only ones who know what 10/10 pain feels like. You don't know what that's like. I have a 30-something, 3 months to live, you're fine." My fiancée has seen everything as my health has fallen to shit. I've been disrespected, mutilated by surgery, survived narcissistic abuse, severe mental illness, sexual assault, and failed surgeries. This man is not worthy of a medical license. Don't see him. Don't even think he might help you because he doesn't. He's a useless quack. And maybe you think I'm too young to speak on this, but I've worked in healthcare since I was 10 years old. I know HIPAA.
