Short review version: I highly recommned Spear City Point. Michelle Shalmiyev is a very capable, and friendly PT to work with. My experience at Spear PT City Point was fantastic - I was a patient for 1.5 months and just wrapped up my treatment. The office is super well run and everyone is a dream to interact with. Front desk is super - seamless working with my insurance and they make scheduling a breeze (the appointment text reminders are a life saver!!!). The office is always well organized and the vibe is very inviting and friendly. I always look forward to my appointments, even when they're early in the AM. I worked with Michelle Shalmiyev first on an ankle sprain, then on hip pain I experienced on account of my weight lifting hobby. She was patient in listening to my issues, worked with me to identify the root causes, and got me on a path back to healthy movement. She is very knowledgeable, and empathized with my goals to get back to activity - Michelle has personal experience as an athlete with a background in rugby and powerlifting. Beyond being a good PT (I've worked with a couple over the years), Michelle is a great person to interact with which makes a difference for those 7:30 AM appointments. If injured again I would not hesitate to put myself back in her care. I highly recommend working with her.

Man where do I start I started coming to Spear roughly about 3 to 4 months ago and started to see Greg Taylor the first day there I was in a lot of pain and at the same time I was a little scared cause I didn’t know what to expect had major amount of knee pain and no one really had an answer of what was going on other than you need some PT. As I walk in Greg welcomed me With open arms got me over into the therapy room and really started explaining my injury to me which made me feel very confident that he was the right person to help me through my recovery so we began to go to work. Here we are four months later my knee is on a very solid path of recovery I can start going up and downstairs again without holding on for my life in fear that my legs will buckle and I’m back in the gym working out without having to deal with the pain. Thank you Greg and thank you Imani For being so amazing patient and extremely helpful on my path to recovery. I truly understand why this is called or voted the number one physical therapy office in the country. Highly recommend them and highly recommend Greg for any injury he’s your guy and he’ll get you back mobile again

I went to Spear after having several years of back pain and I'm so grateful I did. My PT, Julia Schindel, took plenty of time in the initial consultation to understand my history and my pain holistically. Julia immediately made a huge impact for me, and I worked with her for the better part of a whole year. I am now basically pain-free and able to do all the things I love, like working out and playing sports again. There were many times over the course of my years of pain that I thought I might never get to full strength ever again, so I am not exaggerating when I say Julia changed my life. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable and attentive, Julia is an easy person to converse and laugh with, and she is extremely committed to her craft. I frequently spoke with her about ways she continued to learn and grow. I am sure that Julia will be one of the top in the field for a very long time to come. Thank you, Julia, and thank you, Spear. It is great to have my athletic life back!!!

My time at Spear this year has been without a doubt the best physical therapy I could have ever wished for. My therapist Chai (Chaitali) was incredible, she went above and beyond in her sessions with me. I came to her with a back & shoulder pain that she quickly devised exercises for, but every week something else came up for me and she just went with it, coming up with seemingly endless ways of stretching and strengthening to address each problem spot. I learned that I've been doing dumbbell "wings", chest presses and similar arm/shoulder lifts incorrectly: I wasn't guiding the motion with my shoulder blades. Now I can do those lifts without shoulder pain, and I have a long list of exercises that I will continue to do before workouts. On top of all this, Chai has a beautiful attitude, always smiling and positive and so easy to talk to. I really can't say enough good things about Chai and Spear. This has been a wonderful experience!

  • Alexe Rice

The Spear City Point office is where I have received the absolute best PT care ever! I have battled with lower back pain & injuries since my early twenties, and Dr. Squire and his team are the first ones to finally be able to help my heal and finally get me on a path to actual recovery, not just "band-aiding" my back. With their knowledge and genuine care for every patient's health, I am able to do the physical activities I love so much, such as golf and lifting weights, and even normal every day tasks (picking things up off the floor and playing with my dog) at full capacity. Dr. Squire and his office will always be my first recommendation to anyone in need of PT!

  • Lakshmi S

I cannot recommend Chai and the team at SPEAR City Point enough!! Chai is super knowledgeable, responsive, really cares about and listens to my progress and pain points each week, and is a compassionate PT. Love every staff member supporting my sessions - everyone is incredibly nice and patient. I also had a breezy insurance review session that was well documented and took very little time to talk through. Big bonus - great location and the space is just always clean. SPEAR really cares about making members feel safe and comfortable during the sessions and I truly appreciate that. 1000% recommend.

  • Michael Louis-Juste

I cannot thank Vrushali and the entire team at Spear PT enough for their exceptional care and support during my post-surgery recovery. From day one, they have been attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate, making me feel comfortable and confident in my progress. Vrushali's expertise and guidance have been invaluable, and the PT assistants have been incredibly helpful and encouraging every step of the way. Thanks to their dedication and hard work, I am now on the road to a full recovery, and I couldn't have done it without them. I highly recommend Spear PT to anyone in need of physical therapy.

  • Gina Solebello

You don’t have to suffer through migraine pain!!! I was dealing with debilitating migraines when I started seeing Greg about 6 months ago. Greg is a one of a kind PT: knowledgeable, kind, sympathetic, and (most importantly) effective. I was able to go off of all of my daily migraine prevention medications, and just see Greg twice a week to help manage the migraines. I trust Greg whole heartedly and would recommend his services to anyone. Spear is a wonderful and welcoming facility. The new downtown Brooklyn location is clean, professional, and all the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

  • Bradley Dettmer

Spear City Point is a top tier PT office with skilled and dedicated professionals, and a healthy atmosphere. Michelle Shalmiyev is skilled at her craft, kind, attuned, empathetic, thoughtful and an all around amazing Physical Therapist. I went to her after getting injured running a marathon. She taught me helpful exercises, and got my body back to a place where I can run pain free. I have already signed up for my next half marathon and am planning for my next full marathon. I highly recommend Michelle. Her positivity is infectious and her energy is wonderful.

  • Capri Djatiasmoro

all the staff at Spear Physical Therapy located at 445 Gold Street City Point Brooklyn are warm and welcoming, with compassion and understanding of my pain, OA in right hip with limited ROM, my physical therapist DPT Andy Sneider is the BEST! he listened to my list of ailments and worked with me to help me improve my movement, which has helped me tremendously, both physically and more so emotionally, and mentally, i have a new life and at 71 my bone density has increased! thank you! for all your help! life is wonderful!

  • Clayton Daniel Briggs

I’ve been struggling with pain for nearly a year, and was referred for physical therapy. I was very lucky to work with Andrew Sneider, the only person on my medical team that took the time to really dive into my issue and monitor my condition over several weeks. He actually confirmed my suspicion that physical therapy wasn’t the solution for my issue. Today I just met with a surgeon who confirmed surgery is the only solution. I am so grateful for Andy, please give him a huge raise!

  • Yael Reisman

Greg Taylor at Spear PT City Point is the most talented physical therapist I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He's super knowledgeable, very committed, compassionate, and makes sessions breeze by! The location is always clean and bright and the staff is proactive about making appointments and taking care of insurance and payments easily. I cannot recommend Greg and the rest of the team at Spear PT City Point enough!

  • Gauri Kochhar

My fracture recovery turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I got introduced to Spear and Shane Williams. There is no doubt that I owe my recovery to Shane. He has always been patient with me and ironed out all my doubts about my fracture. The whole environment at Spear is so warm, welcoming, and positive that time just flew by! Thank you Shane for getting me back on track after my fracture!

  • Leigh Weissman

Very supportive environment. I've been fortunate to work with Greg Taylor who, in addition to helping work out the aches and pains, has given me tons of information I now use every day. Highest recommendation for the caring professionals on the staff. Only caveat, unrelated to therapy, call your insurance company before you start to check on authorizations so you're not dealing with that later.

  • S Put

I've been to a few of their locations and each time I'm amazed, all over again, at how friendly, kind, and professional the staff is. My therapist, Chai, diagnosed me quickly and accurately and made me feel comfortable right away. I feel like this is one of those places where everyone is happy working. They must have a really good management philosophy!

  • John Cowell

Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff make for a very effective and efficient service. My condition has improved over the course of treatment and I’m seeing great results- I can now cycle again thanks to Spear and Shane! This is the first time I’ve received physical therapy and wish I had considered it before. Highly recommended

  • Nina Yancy

I've had a fantastic experience at this Spear location and couldn't recommend Greg Taylor more highly. His expertise, empathy, and ability to make physical therapy fun (!) are unmatched by any other physical therapist I've worked with over 15+ years of managing various dance and running-related injuries.

  • Sam Hopkins

Took the day off work for my PT evaluation that I scheduled over the phone two weeks ago -- only to be told that no appointment had ever been scheduled, even though I'd received an email with intake paperwork. Front desk staff were not really apologetic or eager to be helpful.

  • Rafaela Varela

You walk into Spear at City Point and it is a perfect little getaway from the madness of Downtown Brooklyn. Sure, you're there to heal whatever you hurt, but you walk in and feel at home. If you're lucky enough to have Greg Taylor as your PT you hold on and NEVER let go.

  • Shivani Sourindre

This company and also this location really deserves all the hype. Loved working with Shane on Hand OT and everyone is so friendly. Everyone greets you when you arrive and walk past them, even if you are not their patient which is so unusual and actually really nice.

  • Philipp Zimmermann

Best Physical Therapy ever. The atmosphere is super nice and fun, and the staff is insanely knowledgeable and caring. Especially Donald Squire, who i was lucky enough to work with, changed my life. Never thought i could be pain free like this! Can only recommend!!!

  • Jason Estrella

So I have been playing sports and have been in and out of PT for the past 20 years. Don and his team at spear are by far the best physical therapists I have ever had. They are very attentive and cultivate a custom approach to get you back to better health.

  • Bridget Riley

Billing double charged me and said they “sent a check” to me for the refund. Needless to say, never got it. Each time I follow up, I get excuses. It’s over $1k in duplicate charges to my credit card and several months have passed.

  • Christopher Benson

Made an appointment over Zocdoc, but when I arrived found that they didn't really use Zocdoc and didn't have any openings for two weeks. They should probably take down the Zocdoc page. Facility looked nice though.

  • Julie Vadnal

The staff is just beyond friendly, upbeat, and caring. Greg Taylor actually makes me look forward to coming to physical therapy—and who can say that? Can't recommend Spear (especially this location) enough.

  • Maeve Dwyer

I've had an excellent experience at Spear. The staff is experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly. Julia is the BEST and has been ESSENTIAL in my recovery. Thank you Spear!

  • Michael Nakamura

Convenient location and excellent care. Spear came highly recommended by my sports injury specialist, and this new location is top notch.
