Dr. Yakov and his staff are TOP NOTCH, and helped me greatly with my back issues. Very versatile and informative. Joshua at the front desk is awesome. And the DPT they have on staff, John, is also an added bonus. No waiting around, flexible schedule, very well-managed. My GO-TO for physical therapy in Queens!
