Elan and Justin are the most incredible and genuinely caring PTs we have ever met. Their care is only rivaled by their expertise. They have succeeded in helping our kid recover from various surgeries, injuries and one of the most difficult to treat cases of TMJ, whereas several previous PTs said there was nothing more to do. Because of their expert treatments our kid has been able to reclaim quality of life and be inspired to go forward and learn these skills as their future career. And as if thats not enough, the office staff and assistant at Prospect PT are equally wonderful in every way.

My fiance and I have been going here for a little under a year and I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Justin is awesome, he knows what he's doing, very nice guy very knowledgeable about what he does. My fiance walked in there experiencing all types of pain because of her health condition. After just months of her going here it was like she was a brand new person, I would recommend Prospect Physical Therapy to anyone. 5 stars !!

I can open my mouth, I can chew without pain and my TMJ headache pain is GONE!!! After years of searching for relief from chronic neck, shoulder and low back pain I can now say I have found help. Dr. Elan of Prospect Physical Therapy has begun the process of diagnosing my problems, localizing my areas of pain and finding the treatment regimen that is best for me to relieve my pain. I wake up pain free, well rested and ready to face another glorious day.

Its always a scary situation when one has to face a long road to recovery. Justin and Elan make you feel like your in great hands and take it extremely personally that you recover as fast and efficiently as possible. Love the staff as well, especially that sweetheart behind the desk Irene. I hope I never have surgery again, but if I do, at least I can always rely on Prospect and their sterling service.
