Patient Reviews

Dr Berman explained everything to me about the cause of my sciatica and what he can do to help the healing. Then he sent me exercises to do at home (videos - more helpful than written explanations) to supplement the sessions with him. I have had good results from his treatment. If you have chronic back pain I think Dr Berman is. your guy.

This was my first experience with PT and I came in with a bad shoulder. Danielle was great at assessing the problem, and in each sessions we saw the improvements. What I really liked is the willingness to take time and explain the problem and ways to improve in detail. Danielle is really friendly and she also emailed me all the home exercises with description and images on how to do them, which was very helpful.

I can NOT rave enough about my time spent with Danielle and SpringForward PT. I have been seeing Danielle for a few months now for my shoulder and she has done wonders working on it. I decided to run a half marathon, heel had been bothering me so we worked on it. After the race I ended up straining my foot and she was so quick about helping me find a doctor to x-ray it and get me diagnosed so we could start the healing process. She is very professional and friendly. Everyone is here! If I could give 10 stars I would!

Danielle is incredible. She is by far the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. Her knowledge and expertise is amazing. She listened and carefully diagnosed me, clearly explained everything, and created a successful and dynamic program for rehabilitation. Moreover, she's brilliant, friendly, and patient.

Fantastic experience working with Danielle to rehab and strengthen my left knee after sustaining an injury playing basketball. The treatment plan was highly personalized, cutting edge, and, most importantly, effective. After months of consistent pain, now I'm back to long distance running and playing sports pain-free. Definitely go here if you have knee issues.

The Spring Forward facility is really wonderful - spacious, lots of light, well equipped. Allows for individual attention which is reassuring in the time of Covid. The staff are knowledgeable and efficient and friendly. Danielle was my therapist and she was terrific. Worked slowly and sensitively to help me recover from a meniscus tear after Plasma Replacement Therapy. Ultimately she suggested I go for a cortisone shot which changed the trajectory of my therapy. It eliminated my pain and we worked on building knee strength. I really liked that she was in touch with my rehab doctor at Weill Cornell. Highly recommend!

I went to see Danielle after injuring myself working out. She rightly referred me for x-rays due to the nature of my accident and I discovered i had fractured my back. After the diagnosis she worked with me to get back to lifting in the gym and I am back to full strength with no issues. Her diligence saved me from much more severe injury and I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend her services and Spring forward PT enough.

I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Berman and his team truly are. After sustaining a severe neck injury from a car accident 4 years ago, I sought treatment from countless pain management doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, etc., but unfortunately none were able to provide long term relief for my chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain. After seeing Dr. Lynn Berman and Dr. Kelly Picciurro weekly for the past 6 months, I have experienced more pain relief from my injuries than I have over the last 4 years, and even extended periods of time with total pain relief. I am forever grateful to have been introduced to this PT practice.

I am so grateful to Dr. Kelly Picciurro & the whole Spring Forward Physical Therapy office.I have been to many physical therapy offices and there is nowhere better!!! I have been going to Spring Forward PT for about three and a half months now and I can honestly say that I have not seen this much improvement in my chronic shoulder issue EVER and I owe that all to Dr. Picciurro! Dr. Kelly Picciurro is the BEST!!! She is thorough, knowledgeable, caring and reassuring. She is very invested in the healing process and spends each session giving 100%. Not only is Dr. Picciurro highly skilled, she is very dedicated and has exceptional bedside manner. She always listens to me and assesses how to best treat my issues and limitations of which there are many! It is also important to state that during these times with COVID that the office is following all CDC guidelines & it is exceptionally clean. Being that I am high risk it is really nice that you have individual sessions as well as individual private rooms with a closed door. Around the office there are many hand sanitizing stations and in every room there are high tech air purifiers. This is one of the few places I feel very safe! I also need to mention that James at the front desk is amazing! He is always friendly and very helpful and professional in setting up appointments, explaining the insurance/billing costs and generally making the whole experience very efficient & easy. I cannot recommend Spring Forward Physical Therapy & Dr. Kelly Picciurro enough!    

Danielle is absolutely fabulous. I have a disease that results in lower back pain, SI joint pain, and hip pain, and she worked with me to alleviate, strengthen, and stretch around the areas, and it made all the difference. And what a delight to work with. I still do the exercises she gave me a year ago. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I went to Spring Forward PT following a serious back injury. Dr. Weis came highly recommended. She has been super attentive, knowledgeable and thorough in listening to all of my concerns and symptoms at each visit, and then addressing each symptom and creating a plan for how she and I can work together to help me improve. I am thankful that I ended up in such great hands!

I highly recommend Dr. Danielle Weis. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, intuitive and able to vary my treatment in response to the current state of my body at each appointment. She is also very kind and engaging and takes the time to answer my questions and explain what is going on. Through hands-on manual manipulation/myofascial release, low level laser therapy and tailored home exercises she quickly got my frozen shoulder moving. When I temporarily relocated to North Carolina she took the time to research and recommend physical therapists in that area so I could continue my treatment. She really cares about her clients and I would seek her out for treatment for any future injuries or conditions.

100 stars... I can't say enough good things about Spring Forward Physical Therapy. Dr Weis and the staff took such good care of me after full ACL reconstruction. Dr Weis worked with me from pre-surgery through full recovery working to get back to full function and most importantly back in the ocean surfing again. She designing a plan in coordination with my surgeon at HSS to help me reach my goals in the safest and shortest amount of time possible. If you are in search of a physical therapist to regain strength and function from a lack of range, injury or surgery Spring Forward is the place. * Personalized treatment plan * Private treatment rooms * Coordination with Doctors/Surgeon * Web based exercise programs to supplement in office treatments * Insurance coverage * Multiple offices

The ABSOLUTE BEST physical therapy studio in NYC, if not the world. If you have an injury, they will fix it better + faster than anyone else. The studio is extremely clean + modern and the staff is very friendly.

Spring Forward PT is the place to go for physical therapy! The Financial District location is beautiful and everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. I've worked with Dr. Danielle Weis and she is amazing! Extremely hands on and knows exactly where to focus in her treatment - any pain I walk in with is immediately gone after we're done! Highly highly recommend!

I highly recommend Spring Forward I have had nothing short of a wonderful experience here. The facilities are beautiful and they have a wide range of new equipment and machines. Kelly has done wonders for me, I couldn't recommend her any more highly!
