Patient Testimonials

“Singularly the best experience in any healthcare setting I have ever had, thank you and hats off to Liberty PT!”

“I have been to many physical therapists over the years…What sets Liberty PT apart is the one on one sessions. You really feel like you get the time and attention you deserve. I’ve been seeing Norman. He is very knowledgeable and is certified in many types of manual therapy. He is also very personable. I was recently diagnosed with a rare connective tissue disorder, Norman helps me to strengthen my muscles and address my ever evolving issues. The entire staff is really nice! The facility is clean and modern and each patient has their own room for manual therapy. Thanks Liberty PT.”

“I was so happy with Liberty PT!  I have spent many, many hours in physical therapy for various issues, and the care I got at Liberty surpassed any other facility (I specifically worked on cervical and lumbar spine at Liberty, and could not be happier with their care).  You cannot beat the one-on-one treatment.  I was not just given the conventional exercises you always are assigned in outpatient.”

“I have to add to the chorus of happy patients here on Yelp.  Would give ten stars if I could!

I have had neck/shoulder issues for at least ten years – muscle spasms, nerve compression, tendinitis, bulging discs etc… – I have seen about a half-dozen physical therapists in my time and really none have helped me as much as Chitra has.”

“Liberty physical therapy is truly the best physical therapy treatments I have ever received.  The office is run very professionally and my appointments have always been on time with no waiting.  My assigned therapist, Norman provides the utmost in personal care with no jocking from patient to patient.  In fact, on the few occasions where Norman was not available, I was tended to by other therapists on staff and all were attentive and provided knowledgeable, up to date care to my particular recovery needs. I am whole heartedly recommending Liberty Physical therapy to anyone who wishes to have the personal and excellent care this office provides in your rehabilitation.”

“I cannot say enough positive things about the team at Liberty PT and my therapist. The front desk staff are so friendly and everyone there really goes above and beyond for the patients. For instance, they needed to cancel appointments because of a power outage in the building, and the next time I came, they gave me a handwritten note and a Starbuck’s gift card. This was so sweet and completely unnecessary.

My therapist is wonderful, super knowledgeable, and very very patient. I have been working with him for a bit now, and I have been having so much less pain and feeling myself getting stronger. I’m also able to ride an exercise bike and haven’t been able to do that for 3 years!! I could go on and on, he is the best therapist I have ever been to, and I have been to a few.

Also, the motto here is therapy is better done one-on-one, which I can’t stress more. For 45 minutes, it is me and my therapist. He watches me do exercises, corrects me when needed, and encourages me to push myself. Also, if I’m in pain, he spends the time to do manipulations and not pass me off to an assistant like in other practices.

5 stars all the way here!”

“So here’s the scoop: You won’t find a better physical therapy clinic than this place, period.

I came to this facility after growing increasingly frustrated with my previous physical therapy treatment for my ACL. Do yourself a favor, DO NOT GO TO GROUP THERAPY. Seriously. I was going to a place where I dealt with so many PT’s and assistants, that I felt no one knew my progress. I wasn’t getting the attention I deserved. There was no sense of urgency, appointments never started on time, I was left alone to do exercises, and I barely got any hands on treatment.  I thought to myself, this can’t be how it’s supposed to go.

Luckily, after doing some research, I came across Liberty Physical Therapy. I was skeptical at first, because the reviews seemed too good to be true, but nope, they are spot on.

I showed up without calling, and was greeted with enthusiasm by the awesome ladies working reception. I explained to them my frustrations, and they took care of the rest. They answered my questions about treatment and insurance coverage, all with a smile. I didn’t feel like just another patient. The actual facility, is clean, modern, and spacious. They even offer a discount on parking.”

“For the past year, I struggled with neck pain that also impacted my back, right arm, head, and shoulder. The pain was present 24/7 and there was never a good or comfortable position to be in.  Throughout the year I saw three doctors, got MRIs and X-Rays, received two epidurals, took anti-inflammatory and some pain medications, used ice-packs and electric stimulation gadgets, and worked with different PTs in both Manhattan and JC. I’m glad I decided to try Liberty PT conveniently located near Grove Street station in JC. The facility is super clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. The exercise area is appropriately equipped and well organized. The staff at the front desk could not be more friendly and professional. At Liberty PT your scheduled time is “yours” for real. It involves one-on-one sessions in a private room, and no crowed gym area. You get full attention! I 100% recommend Liberty PT to all friends and family.”

“I started going to Liberty for pelvic floor PT at 12 weeks postpartum and 22 sessions later, I am so pleased with the progress and rehabilitation that Liberty PT has provided me! The staff is extremely pleasant and professional, and Kinjal is beyond knowledgeable and has provided amazing guidance and support throughout my entire time with Liberty. I have also consulted with Trupti as well when Kinjal was unavailable and she has been such a pleasure to work with. Both Kinjal and Trupti are extremely approachable and have provided a superb experience in a judgement free environment. In addition, the facilities are extremely clean and I have been able to bring my infant with me on several occasions during sessions with out any trouble (they have bouncers in the rooms for your babies’ comfort).

I highly recommend Liberty PT for any of your needs but more than anything, Pelvic Floor physical therapy has improved my post partum experience and recovery and I am so thankful that I found Liberty PT. Thank you!”

The staff at Liberty was great! Super attentive and more than willing to work with my schedule and requests. The PT staff helped me greatly reduce nagging bulging discs pains as well a tendinitis. Would definitely recommend!

Great location and great staff make PT a breeze. I’m feeling better than ever thanks to JT and team!

Of all the companies I’ll leave a Yelp review on, I will always feel strongest about giving 5 stars to Liberty Physical Therapy. When I showed up in a bad way with battered and ‘ruined’ knees I never imagined the relief and plan to go forward to make things better. I’ll just put this out there; I have a permanently torn ACL in my right knee along with a tear in the MCL. The other knee is going bone on bone. Liberty Physical Therapy worked with me on a constant improvement plan and we worked and worked and worked at it over 3 years. With their help, incredible staff and knowing exactly what to do, I was actually able to meet benchmarks in physical knee tests I no longer needed physical therapy. It’s amazing and I never thought that possible. Five months on I’m still using the last program we set up and it’s still turning out amazing results and no surgery needed. I haven’t even begin to touch on how friendly and professional the staff is. You’re never a number or an insurance card at LPT. Five stars, if I could give six I would.

Had my 1st session Friday with Cherri. Everything I’ve heard was true. Wonderfully relaxing environment, the most extensive exam/evaluation I’ve ever had. Friendly staff. Really looking forward to my future sessions.

I just “graduated” from PT at Liberty today after about a month of sessions. I am an endurance runner and had developed an FHL tendon injury that had plagued me for two months prior to finally finding a doctor who diagnosed it correctly and sent me for PT.

Everything about Liberty PT is amazing. The reception staff are outstanding. They are helpful, informative and friendly both on the phone when you are scheduling for the first time, and when you come in for each appointment. They know your name after your first visit and greet you by name each subsequent time, always with friendly smiles.

I saw John for the actual PT and he is phenomenal. I prefer someone highly knowledgeable who explains things to me from a scientific/medical point of view and helps educate me about the root causes for my injury–I got exactly that and more from John. He helped recommend some stretching and proprioception exercises right away and I was actually back on the treadmill within a few weeks. With his help, I was able to plan out a gradual return to running, and am thrilled to be injury-free with a concrete set of instructions for how to stay that way! Highly, highly recommend him.

Clean, new, spacious facility, good equipment, nice therapy rooms and even nice bathrooms, too. I would absolutely return to Liberty PT again if I needed treatment!

I’ve been seeing Chitra for the past month and a half for a misaligned pelvis. My body has been off balance pretty much for all of my life. After working with Chitra, I’ve experienced a dramatic change in my posture, breathing, hip strength, and a host of other issues. I’ve been to many different physical therapists and Chitra is excellent. (My mom is one too so I know what’s good!) She gives you the proper exercises to work on at home and practices a variety of techniques to resolve your problem. I highly recommend them!

I was introduced to Liberty Physical Therapy by my wife. I started seeing Dr Norman for my back problem ( stiffness when I woke up in morning ) and was very pleased.
Dr. Norman was very helpful, caring and took a lot of pains while treating me. He is very knowledgeable and tried several different methods ( massage, exercise, suction cups ) to reduce my pain and stiffness. I felt much better after seeing Dr Norman. He was always punctual and gave full personal attention during his treatments. He even suggested several stretching exercises which I could do at home to help me with my pain.
The place is very nicely decorated and the staff is very friendly. The front desk always greets you with a smile and I never had any problems scheduling / rescheduling or cancelling my appointments or dealing with my insurance. The wait is never more than 5 minutes and to add to the brownie points they even validate your parking in a nearby parking lot.

Overall , I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Physical Therapy session

“I love,love, love this place. The minute you walk in, everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The physical space is nice bright and clean (which was very important to me).

In March i got Plantar Fasciitis, and was in extreme pain. From being able to walk over 5 miles a day, i could hardly walk one block. A friend told me about Liberty and recommended them, since they had cured her of the same ailment. After going to 3 different podiatrists and getting 3 cortisone shots that did nothing, i knew i had to go for PT and get to work.

I started working with Anuja, who is wonderful. When i first started, i was doubtful that it was ever going to get better. But I did therapy 3 times a week, slowly but surely i started feeling much better. Anuja also gave me the exercises to do at home. I am a PT advocate now. I can walk and exercise again, and feel like i got my life back. Thank you Liberty PT and Anuja, you are terrific.”

Wonderful facility with friendly, helpful staff. You spend each session one on one with a physical therapist. The therapist was very knowledgeable and skilled. This is a very impressive practice.

I wish there were more stars to give Liberty PT, I started seeing Chitra, who also owns this place almost 2 1/2 years back, with a severe lower back problem, she is excellent, she not only treated my back but also helped me strengthen it, I was pregnant with my second child,and she helped me almost throughout my pregnancy and even after to get my strength again, and currently I can do so much more physically, I can exercise more, do push ups, planks, cardio, I mean for a normal person these things may sound simple, but given my condition I could never imagine myself doing all these, even walking a mile or doing day to day chores wasn’t easy for me, and I have 2 boys so I really needed to be strong to keep up with them. Chitra has always been there as a friend and therapist.
A few months back I developed a neck and shoulder pain,Veronica helped me for a while, she is excellent with Graston technique, I have been seeing Oron for some time now and all I can say that he is a gem, he really knows his stuff, manipulation, dry needling, manually treating, he is all in one,he has helped me a lot in pain management, his exercises for strengthening are really effective. My back recently acted up as I kind of ignored my back exercises because of the neck pain so I mentioned Oron about it and he treated my back too and pushed me again to get back into the routine. Now my husband has started seeing Oron ,he already feels so much better.
Trupti is also very patient and great, my very first appointment was with her.
And last but not the least the front desk staff ,always cheerful and helpful,I would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat, you are in good hands with Liberty PT.
Thank you so much for taking care of me.

My experience in Liberty Physical Therapy never disappoints. This is my fourth time returning for a different issue and, this time, Thomas helped me.
As I expected from the therapists in this place, Thomas offered the professional care I needed. He examined my neck and shoulders and provided great care to help me heal comfortably and quickly.
There’s a reason why I always return to Liberty Physical Therapy. I know I would be cared for with special focus to my personal needs.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about JT at Liberty Physical Therapy. My son has been seeing JT for about a year to address concerns in meeting his motor milestones and to improve his strength, stability and body awareness. Throughout, JT has impressed me with his professionalism, knowledge and skill, and his ability to engage my son through a variety of exercises and activities. He has consistently been able to meet my son at his level while simultaneously challenging and pushing him forward. As a first time parent, I found his guidance, support and direction in carrying over treatment at home to be invaluable. I am very thankful for the quality of treatment which has resulted in excellent progress for my child. I also found Chitra and the Liberty PT staff to be helpful, pleasant, and very easy to work with. My experience, whether it involved scheduling, insurance, payment, etc., was seamless. I highly recommend JT and Liberty Physical Therapy!

Great and welcoming staff. John took VERY good care of my issue of TMJ soreness and helped me resolve it quicker and more efficient then anyone could. Years of searching around and he took care of it in about a month and a half. 100000/10 recommend

Excellent facility and the staff is a pleasure. Came to Liberty PT after a fibula fracture. I healed in record time and they’re really helping me rehabilitate and reconnect with my left ankle, they don’t cut corners here and I love it. My “bad” ankle is stronger than my other ankle now. Hillary Harwell is the bomb dot com!!!!

Great experience. Hillary was super knowledgeable and very thorough in assessment. Therapy visits were challenging and the communication of home exercises was very clear with video demonstrations included . I highly recommend Hillary and the Liberty PT practice. Also to note.. I visited weekly during Covid and felt good about the screening process to get into both the building and the PT office.

The first time I brought my son to Liberty PT was when he was 18-months old because he still wasn’t walking unassisted. While our pediatrician did not seem concerned, we wanted to see a physical therapist to make sure he didn’t have any physical issues. Luckily, there weren’t any. JT worked with our son once a week to do some exercises to strengthen his muscles and build up his confidence. Within a few weeks, he started walking on his own.

Flash forward a year later, we noticed my son was limping on one foot from time to time. We brought him back to JT. He examined my son closely and made him do some exercises and an obstacle course. Can’t say how much we (esp my son) love JT. He finds creative ways to engage a child and makes it fun for them. For example, he noticed how much my son loved laptops so he had his colleagues hold up their laptop for my son to chase after. Everyone at Liberty is also super friendly. Highly recommend them for pediatric PT.

I’ve been going here since Nov recovering from ankle surgery. I only have one thing to say. They are OUTSTANDING. 1) Excellent customer service – friendly, flexible and consistent, 2) I’ve been working with Oron for the last 2 months…and although I secretly curse at him in my head during the crazy workouts, the next day when I realize how much I’ve improved he’s instantly back to being a physical therapy magician. I can’t say enough good things about this place.

Let’s just say I love going to my physical therapy appointment!! From the minute you walk into this state of the art facility I am welcomed by smiling faces and welcoming attitudes from the staff. I am then lead to my private therapy room and am greeted immediately by my therapist. My therapy is educational and rewarding. Since the minute I stepped foot into Liberty PT, I am already seeing immediate results. They really take the time to get to know you from a personal standpoint and really cater to your comfort. I really enjoy the one-on-one therapy sessions and would highly recommend Liberty Physical Therapy to anyone!

My Physical Therapy with JT (John) Dosher was excellent. He is a powerful healer!

Liberty Physical has great accommodating therapists.

Liberty Physical Therapy is fantastic! The facilities are clean and modern, and the staff is consistently professional, responsive, and courteous. Dr John is a miracle worker! He always explains his techniques and rationale so thoughtfully and patiently. I trust him immensely and highly recommend his services.

I don’t know where to start, the facilities and front office staff are terrific and all the therapists are amazing. Last year I had the worst injury of my life and was extremely nervous and feeling down. I worked with Cherri and John and they couldn’t have made me feel more comfortable and really put things into perspective for me. I worked with them five days a week for the first few months and they honestly made the horrible situation manageable. I had a set back during my rehab (knucklehead move outside of therapy) and Cherri and John were there to pick me up and got me going on the right track again. Also during the Covid shutdown Cherri worked with me three days a week virtually, keeping me motivated and moving forward, really pushing me to the next level. I know this review is long winded, but for anyone reading it, whether you have an injury big or small, I highly recommend the Liberty Physical Therapy team. Everyone is amazing and you will truly receive the best care.

I have been to a reputable physical therapy place in Manhattan while trying to avoid surgery for torn menisci. Without going into too much detail, I can only say that it was an OK experience, because even though people were nice, each therapist was often working with 3 patients at a time. I was pretty much excercising by myself, which made it feel like a waste of time coming all the way to the clinic when I could just do it at home. Needless to say, my condition worsened and I had to undergo surgery.

After surgery, I took a day with my husband to visit several PT clinics. I really wanted to find one that would help me best. I was looking at the equipment (I had a list of techniques my doctor wanted the therapist to apply), office atmosphere, and knowledge of the therapist. It was a really wise decision to visit the offices, because they were all so very different (some places were outright intimidating)! I visited 7 places in Jersey City and Hoboken, and chose 2 to consider, Liberty being one of them. In the end, I decided on Liberty because of its proximity, and because I could tell from my encounter that Chitra was very knowledgeable, friendly and loved what she was doing. I am very happy I made that decision!

Chitra helped me recover my muscle strength, showed me multitude of different excersizes, used a lot of different techniques with me (I especially liked the electrical therapy to reduce swelling, it was very relaxing) and answered all of my questions, often citing research. She is very up to date on the latest studies and techniques, which I liked. She is also very passionate about her profession and is constantly upgrading her clinic. Best of all, she worked with me 1:1 the whole time. Not only was that very helpful because she would correct me if needed, but she would add something new every time. This made it both interesting and challenging. This experience was far better than in the previous physical therapy clinc. I would recommend Chitra to anyone needing physical therapy, and I am happy that I discovered her in case I or my family will need a physical therapist in the future.

I have had 2 total knee replacements & am truly grateful to the heavens for bringing me Chitra Kothari. She really knows what she is doing & I was very comfortable with her…She made the most out of every session & it was to my benefit…Before my second surgery I worked with her to strengthen my muscles & that was a big help. She is very easy to talk to & I feel that we had some wonderful conversations on many topics…I was also very touched when she called me after my surgery while I was in Rehab.

I have since moved back to CA & think that she has expanded her practice…How wonderful…I miss her very much & she is hard to replace…I highly recommend her.
