Letter of praise for EMH
First of all, I cannot say enough good things about my physical therapist, Lauren Campbell. She is an extraordinary professional. Her explanations about the exercises she gave me were extremely well-informed, clear and sensible and reflected her extensive training. She seemed to have an intuitive sense of when to push me beyond what I wanted to do (ignoring my whining) and when to ease up slightly. And, as a bonus, she has a most engaging personality. By the time I left I felt that I was in better shape than before my operation.
In addition, the facility was both pleasant and clean and the reception staff was welcoming and efficient.
From a very satisfied client,
– Linda L.

I experienced a life changing insight and partnership
My expectations were high—I’ve had brutal pain for five years--and every one of those expectations were met while under the care of Lauren Campbell, my physical therapist at EMH Physical Therapy.
Not only did I gain 75% of my mobility, I also gained life-changing insight on the effect of stress and what I could do to help myself. Lauren had infinite patience, answering everyone of my questions about "what affected what" and "how this muscle works," etc. I felt it was a true partnership and her advice resonates even more now that I have finished my course of treatment. Everything she said and practiced worked, and I advise everyone going into treatment to listen to their physical therapist and do everything--yes everything--he or she advises.
The director, Evelyn Hecht, PT and her staff have a holistic approach to healing, treating the total person and working with the body's innate ability to heal . The administrators, Juhee and Cindy were always welcoming, intelligent and understanding. Lauren is a treasure--compassionate, professional, dedicated and I trust her completely. I learned more about myself from her than I ever expected, lessons I will not forget as I practice them every day--alongside my exercises!

My life has changed…
I was leaking daily and felt very frightened about controlling my bladder while working out, sneezing, laughing and was rushing to the bathroom too often. After eight sessions with Karen Poplavski, DPT and twice daily home program that Karen taught me, my life has changed. I am now able to control the urge and have had no accidents. The pelvic floor physical therapy has helped my confidence return. I was initially very hesitant about receiving treatment, but Karen was extremely caring, professional and made the challenging work to return to normal bladder control seem easy.
Thank you!

Karen paid particular attention to my special needs
I am very please with the experience I had at EMH. I very much appreciated the very professional way Karen Poplavski approached my physical therapy. She paid particular attention to my special needs and problems. In addition, her genuine concern about my overall health and continued interest in the progress I was making also meant a lot to me. The material she prepared for me to use at home is clear and easy to follow; I am sure it will prove to be very useful. Furthermore, all the staff was extremely helpful and cooperative – their assistance in rescheduling appointments that I had to cancel due to a health-related problem was efficiently and cheerfully handled.

Elaine restored my confidence in the ability of physical therapy
I want to thank Elaine for being so helpful and so patient with my condition. I had previously
seen several physical therapists and had to stop each one before the course of physical
therapy was complete because of the intense pain that they generated. I told my referring
doctor I didn’t think physical therapy was right for me due to my history with it but I am glad
I tried! Elaine restored my confidence in the ability of physical therapy to resolve my
problems and hopefully stall knee replacement surgery. Thank you for your help in
developing muscles which I haven’t used in years and showing me proper body mechanics
so I can proceed with my life.

I can walk and climb stairs with no pain
I had a very successful physical therapy experience with Karen Poplavski. She is friendly, encouraging, and a highly skilled physical therapist. I made good progress very quickly. The hands-on work in the beginning was very helpful. She explained and illustrated the exercises very well. I am feeling and walking much better.

Elaine's work is
effective in improving condition
I am writing as a recent patient of EMH to commend one of your therapists, Elaine, on her fine work.
She was always professional, efficient, and very kind. I am also happy to say that her work was
effective and my condition much improved.

I was concerned about my need to urinate frequently . . .
I was about to embark on a trip to India/Bhutan and I was concerned about my need to urinate frequently.
At that time the frequency was a nuisance, but one I could live with. I knew the demands, however,
of long in-air travel time; plus actually being in a place where water closets are often not readily
available was going to be a problem. I was extremely fortunate to attend a workshop,
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” One of the speakers was Evelyn Hecht, the director of EMH Physical Therapy.
She spoke of biofeedback and manual therapy to strengthen the pelvic muscles, techniques which have
been successful for many women. I started this therapy on August 6, attending three times per week.
I do the pelvic exercises three times per day at home and voila, on September 18 I was dismissed.
I had become a success story. Had I not attended the lecture I would still be running to the
water closet, and I now have no need for either.

Working with Evelyn Hecht and her professional, kind and
qualified staff has been a pleasure and a relief!
After suffering from a stress fracture in my foot, training to run the NYC marathon, I was in dire need
of help towards recovering and quickly getting back on the road. My injury and coinciding imbalances
were diagnosed immediately and treated in a way that kept me moving and recovering- at the same
time. Evelyn has been a practicing physical therapist for over 25 years and it shows.
THANK YOU!

The staff and care given to me was outstanding even though I was quite apprehensive at first.
It all began when my Doctor recommended EMH Physical Therapy to help me after my Prostate surgery.
First and foremost I was welcomed warmly as if I were family. The staff and care given to me was outstanding even though I was quite apprehensive at first. The therapy did wonders and improved my situation. I’m very grateful for their services and compliment them as well as refer EMH to others when
any form of therapy is involved. Thanks again.
