Dr. Germano diagnosed me with tendonitis of the left hip and suggested physical therapy. I attended the Orlin and Cohen PT facility in Bellmore from mid-June through mid-September. My initial evaluation was performed by Skylar Vitiello and she suggested a schedule of twice per week until my pain-free goal was achieved. Subsequent sessions were supervised by Ronny Paulino with oversight from Skylar. My sessions were designed and implemented to focus on my condition and reps and weights were adjusted as I progressed. Ronny (and Skylar-depending on my appointment time) and other PT's were always present monitoring my progress and safety. The atmosphere in the exercise room was light and easy going and friendly but always professional. It was obvious to me early on that all of the people here were extremely qualified and enjoyed working with their patients. This includes the front office people as well. My result was a much improved condition with my hip to the extent I am out of pain and can perform my tasks as before. In closing the best I can say is if I require PT in the future this is where I would go and would recommend the same to anyone. My sincere thanks to Skylar and Ronny and everyone else (Justin and Rich) who helped me. Thank you.
