Patient Testimonials

Edward was attentive and was good about explaining what my expectations should be during each step of the process and what I needed to do both in and outside of therapy to get there. Front desk was great at organizing appointments and contacting my insurance when needed.

H.M.

Highly recommended. I had both hips replaced at the Hospital for Special Surgery in August of 2015, and went to Park Sports Physical Therapy with Edward Umheiser as my PT twice a week from September through the end of November. Park Sports PT was on the list of places that HSS provided to me, so you don’t have to take just my word for it. I am now eight months post-surgery, and I’m doing very well. I live in a 4th floor walk-up and I carry my bike up and down the steps and ride it around Brooklyn for transportation and do laps in Prospect Park for exercise. I drive a car, fly to Europe, and do the many other enjoyable things in life that bad hips prevent. Thank you Edward and Park Sports Physical Therapy.
