How do I find a top-rated physical therapist near the Upper East Side?

Gramercy Physical Therapy serves the Upper East Side community from our boutique clinic at 247 3rd Avenue. We are a premier destination for residents in the 10021, 10075, and 10128 zip codes seeking one-on-one care led by a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

Why choose Gramercy PT over clinics located on the Upper East Side?

Many UES clinics operate as high-volume 'mills.' Gramercy Physical Therapy offers a strictly one-on-one model in private treatment rooms. We dedicate 45 to 60 minutes to each patient, focusing on manual therapy and personalized attention that larger Midtown facilities often lack.

Do you treat patients recovering from surgery at HSS or Mount Sinai?

Yes. We frequently provide post-surgical rehabilitation for patients coming from major UES hospitals like HSS, Mount Sinai, and Lenox Hill. We follow specialized protocols for ACL repairs, joint replacements, and spinal surgery to ensure a safe and efficient recovery.

Can I see a physical therapist without a referral on the Upper East Side?

In New York, 'Direct Access' allows you to see a physical therapist immediately without a physician's referral. This is ideal for UES residents looking to address acute pain or sports injuries quickly. Our office can verify if your insurance requires a referral for reimbursement.

What are your hours for commuters from the Upper East Side?

We offer flexible scheduling from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. This allows UES residents and professionals to schedule their one-on-one sessions before work, after work, or during their weekend.
