What Our Queens Patients Say About Us

We take pride in helping our patients live without lower back pain and move with confidence again.

I have been coming to Determination Therapy, for P/T. I started with a painful case of sciatica and a pinched nerve in the lower back (L-5 region). I just finished my 5th session of P/T and feels 90 % better. Very thankful to Dr. Yacov , and the staff at Determination Therapy for getting me better

Jon Lipow

Dr. Yakov and his team are wonder workers. After lower back surgery, this team has gotten me back on my feet and pain-free. I look forward to each visit when I’m shown a new exercise to regain flexibility and reduce stiffness. The office is clean, everyone wears masks, and the staff and clients are all respectful of one another. I can’t thank them enough for improving my quality of life and I highly recommend.

Pam Sigel

Dr. Simkhayev was a very good PT practitioner for me. I am young and had lower back pain from a strength training injury, and he made sure that I was given the treatment and the knowledge to start training again and taking care of myself in ways that I didn’t know before. Thank you very much!
