Spear Physical Therapy's Online Review Report Card

Sustained a minor ITL injury that impacted my right knee. It was stiff and I wasn’t able to launch into a full sprint. Dylan and the Clinton Hill team helped tremendously with the process. Everyone was professional, super flexible with scheduling, and got me to a place of fitness that was better than before I was even injured. They did a great job of providing exercises and guidance that didn’t just apply to my injury, but feels like good practice in terms of physical fitness for everything beyond therapy. Great location too!

This is long overdue but I owe so much to Dylan and his team in recovering from a recent shoulder and pec injury from climbing. While I'm still working my way back to my previous level, the exercises and stretches Dylan taught me are parts of my day-to-day warm up, recovery, and maintenance. Dylan was incredibly patient, kind, and funny! I always looked forward to my PT sessions. If I ever have any problems in the future, this would be the first place I go.

Loved my experience with Kyle and Dylan! Was my first time at PT and they made everything customized and took the time to listen to all my concerns and get me back to running as soon as possible. Super communicative, welcoming and available for questions even after you’re done with treatment so you feel super supported.

I tore my ACL and moved to New York all in the same week — it was one of the most destabilizing, painful, and overwhelming times of my life. Enter Dylan. From our very first session, he didn’t just treat me like a patient — he treated me like a whole human being. He asked about my life, my background, my fears, and what I loved doing before and during the injury. He spoke to me like a human and truly felt like a friend and caretaker all in one. He always gave incredible treatment to me and everyone else in the room. I have never experienced care like this in my life. He made space for everything I was going through — physically, mentally, and emotionally — and wove it into the way he cared for me. I’ve never felt more genuinely seen or supported by any healthcare provider. Dylan was so much more than a physical therapist. He was a guide, a steady presence, a kind listener, and at times, felt like a mental health professional which was so needed in my ACL recovery. He met me where I was every single week — through tears, setbacks, doubts — and helped me believe in my body again. There were weeks where I was laughing and weeks where I was crying, and Dylan was there for all of them. I truly thought I’d never play soccer or snowboard again, and yet, here I am: strong, confident, and fully recovered. That didn’t happen just through exercises — it happened because Dylan understood what I needed on every level and gave me the tools, encouragement, and space to heal fully. I went to physical therapy every week for almost a year, and every single session felt like a step forward — not just for my knee, but for my whole self. The techs were incredible too — warm, attentive, and part of what made the space feel safe and grounded. Dylan changed my life, and I don’t say that lightly. I am emotional writing this because I can’t truly express how much he means to me or how grateful I am. If you’re lucky enough to work with him, know that you’re not just getting an expert PT — you’re getting someone who will care for every part of you. I owe him so much.

I started physical therapy with Kyle at the Union Street location in Park Slope after arthroscopic surgery on my right knee. At the time, I could barely walk; my knee was stuck in a bent position, and I couldn’t fully extend or bend it. From day one, Kyle was friendly, attentive, and truly dedicated to helping me recover. As I began regaining strength, I mentioned to Kyle that my right leg was getting stronger than my left. He immediately adjusted my program to include exercises for both legs, making sure my recovery stayed balanced and effective. When Kyle transferred to the Fulton Street location in Clinton Hill, I had no hesitation in following him there, his level of care made it worth the extra travel. Thanks to his guidance, I now have full range of motion, stronger and more balanced muscles, and I even lost a few pounds along the way. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of physical therapy.

Dylan, Alliah, and Cooper are the dream team! I had plantar fasciitis for five years that I thought would never go away but I am now pain free (: the team at Spear is truly so kind, thoughtful, and supportive!

My 9 year old daughter had the best experience here at Spear Clinton Hill! The whole team -- Dylan, Aaliyah, Cooper, and everyone else there -- was phenomenal. They are incredibly caring and thoughtful in their approach to working with patients and particularly thoughtful in their approach to working with a young patient. They made physical therapy something that my daughter really enjoyed and looked forward to. They motivated her to do her exercises there and at home. They made her feel seen, heard and welcomed. Can't say enough good things about this incredible group! We are so grateful for them and so highly recommend them!

A phenomenal experience! I came into Spear in Clinton Hill with some problems with my knee. After working with Dylan, Cooper, and the rest of the team for about 2 months, I’m leaving feel more confident and stable in my knee. Everyone at Spear was a pleasure to work with and so friendly. Feels like you’re hanging out with good people who are committed to helping you recover the strength you used to have. Much more than just “another appointment.” Highly recommend if you’re in the neighborhood and looking to get better!

My GP referred me to physical therapy for a neck/shoulder strain that just wouldn't go away. I was slotted into the schedule without doing any real research and wow did I get lucky - Ceren is fantastic. She listened carefully to my symptoms, addressed my concerns about not over doing it at my very physically job and came up with a PT plan that was workable with the time I had outside of my job. She is very patient, skilled, kind and her positive attitude is contagious. After 8 sessions and continued stretches at home I am back to pain free days. I would give her 6 stars if I could.

I can’t say enough good things about Dylan and the entire team at Spear Physical Therapy. From the very first visit, I felt genuinely cared for - not just as a patient, but as a person. Dylan is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and encouraging, and he takes the time to explain everything clearly while tailoring the treatment to your specific needs and goals. The energy at the clinic is always upbeat and welcoming. The whole team works together seamlessly, creating a positive and motivating environment that makes recovery feel possible - and even enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier physical therapy with people who truly care. Absolute five-star experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
