Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Joel did a fantastic job curing my injury. He is caring, knowledgeable and woks very hard to get the patient healthy. He is the best!

Joel had excellent knowledge of the healing process. He helped me to heal an extremely painful frozen shoulder. Always cheerful, yet very professional, it was a pleasure to be treated by him over several months of intensive therapy. I would highly recommend using Joel and Recovery PT.

he took the time during my exercises to explain to me the particular benefit of each one and why it was important. he never got upset me over any reluctance on my part to an exercise but he made me in the end want to exercise which is something that i had never done. the home aide who came from the hospital told me that Joel was the best around, and boy was she right

Dr. Hirschhorn is extremely knowledgeable and caring. He helped my son recover from a foot injury so that he could continue with his soccer season. My son's recovery went smoothly thanks to him

Following serious knee surgery, I could not envision how I would simply recover, much less return, to the activities I enjoyed or needed to perform before my injury. At Recovery PT, I received the highest degree of professional and expert care, combined with the needed patience, empathy and encouragement to not only permit me to return to my normal activities, but to place me in a position to best help prevent further injuries in the future. I thought that the continuity of treatment from Joel was instrumental to measure my progress, much of which was not linear. Ten months following my surgery I was hiking on glaciers in Iceland! Successful physical therapy is a combination of many factors, and I could not be more grateful and appreciative of the care and treatment I received with Joel at Recovery PT.

I have gone to Joel for a variety of things-both recovery from surgery and for post accident injury--and he is terrific. He is caring, knowledgable and understands that recovery does not always go as a doctor suggests. He is patient with clientele of all ages.

He's some kind of genius. He fixed my hypermobililty problems a couple of years ago. This time, I messed up my neck, and he's fixing that, too. Next time I mess something up, I'm going to ask for Joel.

I've been seeing Joel with various knee, ankle and back issues since 2007 and I keep coming back. I like his traditional approach that emphasizes stretching and gradual strengthening.

I've been treated by Joel Hirschhorn for the past 6 weeks after a total knee replacement. My physical therapy experience has been absolutely stellar. Joel is incredibly knowledgeable, hard working, kind, patient and motivating. He is 100% committed and engaged to making my recovery the best it can be. There are ups and downs after major surgery and Joel helps keep me focused and positive, not just now but through multiple prior sports injuries. I highly recommend Joel...

I improved on a consistent basis following Joel's at home program in addition to the therapy sessions. Joel was very encouraging which helped my motivation to do all the home program which he changed as I improved and became stronger and more flexible. My therapy has exceeded my expectations.

I had never been to PT before but all of my friends warned me that it would be a painful process and I was to dread it. I was so pleasantly surprised when I met Joel because it was exactly the opposite! He is extremely knowledgeable and never for a second did I doubt his recommendations. But almost more importantly I really enjoyed my time at PT because he is so nice and fun to talk to, the time always flew by. I can't say enough about how happy I am to have had the pleas...

Joel is a wonderful PT who has treated me multiple times as well as several members of my family. He is very knowledgeable about anatomy, body mechanics & appropriate therapies to address patient injuries & issues. He always takes his time to evaluate the patient's problem & thoroughly explain the diagnosis & course of treatment. He's an excellent communicator with a kind & caring bed-side manner. His good sense of humor makes PT actually enjoyable! I highly recommend Joe...
