    Unbelievable experience after many years and many doctors and feeling incredibly defeated I…read morerandomly saw ads for this place and figured what do I have to loose. After one visit with Dr Hefler figured it out. By this point I'd already had 6 MRIs from other doctors meds, injections to no avail. He called me with the news himself not a nurse. I couldn't be more impressed and grateful. I couldn't be more grateful to him after years of debilitating pain someone finally figured it out. He then referred me to Dr Greene for surgery another fantastic experience. All in all I will ONLY ago here for any orthopedic needs and send everyone else here. PT employees are fabulous, nurses and desk staff always made a pleasant experience. Highly recommend.

    Beware Dr. Paul Tomaszewski. He is fake all the way through but plays it close to the vest. Even…read morehis scheduler does not know that when telling a patient he will perform shoulder surgeon, he has no such intention but is too (pathologically) scared to reveal this to the patient and tells his well-meaning scheduler to schedule a high radiation CT scan. The only glimpse of the truth the scheduler gets is when asking the patient if Tomaszewski discussed the results of the test and learns he has not. T. strings his patients along when showing up for supposedly pre-surgical visits, maintaining his friendly facade, one of smiles to conceal ill-intent, not being at all specific about the procedure he supposedly is going to perform. When everything coalesces as irregular and the patient asks this provider if everything is okay, not a word is revealed that no surgery will be done. Nothing is okay when complicated shoulder surgery is involved. He comes up with one delay after another. Patient services tries to help the patient but he fakes out patient services too. When trying to make progress and ask if the provider's PA can be present in the appointment, the disingenuous response is that his PA sees his patients by himself. Patient relations called the PA to arrange an appointment with the PA who admitted that he does not meet with any patients independently. Dr. P.T does not want the PA to know that he never explains anything about the procedure or what to expect. When asking to buy equipment sold in company store, Tomaszewski says only he can bring the patient to the store and he sees patients and there's no assistant to fill in when he knows all along that there is an equipment rep that he is supposed to tell the patient about. The equip rep learned of his story and was perturbed. Tomaszewski has no role. He tells patient relations who the patient needs to contact to confirm the culminating pre-surgical visit will occur, because he won't return a patient's phone call, he tells patient relations to tell the patient they do not have to show up. The patient must to learn how to proceed and finally learn details about surgery. Once there, the provider alleges he did not return the call as he knew the patient would show up. He is evasive about his past experience with the procedure in question. In fact he's evasive about his background, having come from a factory-style NYC hospital to work in a holistic environment. He keeps saying surgery will happen so the patient doesn't make other plans but gets worse during the season-long wait until he sends a surgery order replacing visit notes which states to feel free to call before surgery if any questions and then when calling he admits the claims on the order are wrong and he is not performing surgery. The patient learns NOTHING from him. I invested much time making all of the arrangements for surgery, then having to apologize to all my helpers. The only way to talk to him is in an appt. He says he refuses to look at or respond to portal messages but his scheduler reveals he gives him his portal messages daily and he reads them. He won't respond. The secretary confirms he reads them every morning. Recent development: Someone new at ONS. Her name is Barbara Santoro. She's strictly administrative, also having worked in NYC typical impersonal style environment and unfamiliar with what distinguishes ONS in general, save for Tomaszewski and now her. In contravention of patient relations' genuine role of patient advocacy she believes when a provider engages in misconduct, the victim of it should be banned. She learned patient services is trying to intervene in recognition of a problem with this provider. Santoro, totally out of place at this office, acting to change its nature and undermine just moved this provider to a new location, rather than arrange his discharge. This worsens the problem. Now a new group of patients will be subject to his deceptions which are known and about which he has been spoken to. She discharges the victim who lost months, went along with fakery, showed nothing but respect knowing something is wrong. She ensured that he can victimize more because he brings in money at least for 1 appointment, never mind the right provider is there, and providers at the same place recommended others to me who can help. She canceled my appt with one to ensure I am denied help and the problem provider is protected, meaning patients are at risk. She ensures you're denied care, a 1st for this place, and that a problem provider is retained. Don't seek help when you discover any provider's irregularity here. With Dr. T it won't show on the initial visit. Just don't do a CT scan. You won't have surgery. Just see another. No matter how much harm this provider does, Sanoro's agenda is to protect him and remove the insightful patient. Don't be fooled by her asking you about the problem. It's not to help but undermine you.

    I had the absolute worst experience at GSM. I saw Dr. Gil Chimes at the recommendation of a friend,…read moreso it took me months of seeing him to come to terms with his craziness. I had sciatica that was worsened by a, unknown at the time, thyroid issue. First, I would see Dr. Chimes for half an hour and I swear he would deeply massage a sore spot for 15-20 seconds then take TWO MINUTES of notes after. Maybe this cycle would repeat 3-4 times. Then he'd put electrified acupuncture needles in my back and leave. Numerous times I asked him what he was writing and he said he took detailed notes. It was SO WEIRD. Second, the whole time he would treat you he would complain mercilessly about how hard his life is with his family and working with the NY Yankees. Third, as I wasn't getting any better, during my last two visits he outright yelled at me that there's nothing he could do. During my last visit, he was yelling at me while I was crying and then he put in the needles. He came back 10 minutes later apologizing profusely for yelling and that "I know we can get you better." Well, I went somewhere else after that where they don't yell and I got better. It was a solid 10 out of 10 on the crazy scale.

    Updating my review with retrospective of having had PT at a several places following my surgery. I…read morestill think HSS Westchester is overrated but if you find a reasonable therapist there, it's okay (just don't pick Chery Sun). They are high volume so you may feel like a number but they try their best and you do get the full 20-30 minute with a PT compared to other chains where you may be with the assistant for half or more of the visits. They do have all the technology you could want (as do many other spots) and their scheduling system isn't the most client friendly and kind of a pain. But you eventually learn to navigate it and work with the (sometimes less than friendly) front desk staff. Overall, you can get your PT here if you want, just be aware of the advantages and disadvantages I mentioned, which may or may not apply to you at all. I did think that (like in many NYC area locations), the number of jerky therapists/staff is higher here than in other places (say Boston/DC)- but that's something you have to deal with regularly if you live in this area. Also be aware of the fact that in my opinion, PTs occasionally can make your orthopedic issues worse/injure you, especially if you get a PT who is not careful and who does not listen well to your feedback (it happened to me at a different location). This is a healthcare system wide issue and i did not get injured at HSS PT, however had I not changed PTs it may have happened. If you ever feel excessive pain during your PT and your PT does not seem to listen or take it seriously it may be in your best interest to get a new PT to avoid possibly injury.

I went for all their fancy tests. I spent five hours in that hospital to be told we cannot touch you because you have arthritis. They should have told me when I made a telephone appointment for their services. To top it off. I asked them if they could cut my leg above the arthritis, imagining the girl running with an artificial leg. " No, no," they said without hesitation. "We have another group of specialists that does that." Goodbye and walk away. They are quadruple-arm bandits in fancy respectable suits. I trusted them to help me but they helped themselves out of my ignorance. Just watch out, they will dazzle you with what they claimed as #1. Ask questions and more questions.

I figured they see the results of the surgery which put them in the driver's seat. I wound up requiring rotator cuff surgery. Had the surgery on a Wednesday and that Friday I was on the table getting tortured.....not really having been through the process in the past I was familiar with what to expect. The staff was great, from the front desk to the therapists. They did everything with the insurance company and kept the surgeon in the loop. In conversation with other people they were surprised that I started therapy so soon after my surgery. The first couple of visits were a little painful but with the guidance of the staff I was able to push through. Fast forward after my insurance cut me off I was thankful that they supplied me with a print out of the exercises which enabled me to maintain my progress. I was impressed with Profesional that I referred everyone that was looking for a physical therapist

I made my appointment for my shoulder. Most times the wait for an appointment can be excessive, not here. I was seen very quickly. My meeting with Dr. Gott was not as intimidating as I originally thought it would be. He was/is very professional and has a no nonsense approach. I like to joke around as a defense mechanism and well he was more than willing to play along. Fast forward to my current visit. I went to him for a hip issue. Of course with all the commercials and all the noise about hip replacement I expected the worst. I met with his tech first she took notes and shortly thereafter Dr. Gott came and briefly reviewed the notes and proceeded to go through the motions. Verified motion tenderness and then off to be irradiated okay sent for xrays. A few moments of silence and I was informed of the prognosis.....no need to go through hip replacement ....yay. He gave me the diagnosis in English not medical jargon. He gave me my instructions but made no guarantee that this was a cure all and left the door open for the possibility of additional treatment. Not what I wanted to hear but appreciated the honesty. Overall from the moment I walked in to the office to the time I left I felt like I was being treated with respect and care. The whole staff were friendly and above all professional.
