Patient Testimonials

About three years ago I found it almost impossible to sit, walk or move without severe pain in my back and numbness in my legs. When I fell into the newspaper rack at a supermarket (both of my legs went numb) I decided it was time to do something about it. I contacted Montvale Health for treatment. I was diagnosed with ‘spinal stenosis’.

I was introduced to Dr. Lambert for a medical review as well as treatment of my pain. I must admit that I was a skeptic when it came to acupuncture. Someone is going to put NEEDLES in me and make me feel better? What, are they nuts? Dr. Lambert must have read my mind because he said “It doesn’t hurt; here, I’ll show you” as he put one in his arm.

Well, so much for the skepticism, I am a believer. Here I am three years later virtually pain free and able to function better than I have in years. I am certain that the kindness, care and warm personal touch of Dr. Lambert goes hand in hand with the successfulness of the acupuncture. It’s good for the body and soul. I can’t think of any other way to express it. It may be a ‘cliche’ but I recommend Dr Lambert, and acupuncture treatment, to all my friends. IT REALLY WORKS!

I was also a skeptic when it came to chiropractic care. Well, I now know that it really works too! In addition to the acupuncture, my treatment consisted of spinal decompression therapy, range of motion therapy, deep tissue massage, physical therapy and chiropractic care. Yes, soup to nuts treatment by a ‘state of the art’ staff and facility. Sure, they’ll ask “how’s the back?”, but they really care about your total well being. You feel like a member of the family when you are there.

I am currently on a “maintenance” program of acupuncture and chiropractic treatment every other week and I can honestly say that it has made all the difference for me.

My wife and I always recommend Montvale Health & Wellness to anyone who are in need of the type of care they provide.

I started coming to Dr. Saint in March of 2003, at the invitation and urging of several friends who are patients here.

I have suffered from migraines, which are often quite debilitating, for 23 years give or take a year.
Over the past 14 years I have tried most everything out there for relief from the pain, including biofeedback and electrical stimulation, 35 + prescription and non-prescription drugs, magnet therapy, elimination diets, vitamins, herbs and others.

While some of these treatments helped in the short term nothing has worked for the long haul.
Since coming to Dr. Saint my migraines have improved greatly and my outlook on life in general is much brighter! I no longer have to plan things on a tentative basis, (always assuming I will have a migraine and will have to back out) but can plan events and assume I WILL be there! Thus my outlook and attitude are greatly improved and I can live my life again!

Thanks to Dr. Saint and all the staff here for making my daughter (who comes with me for adjustments as well) and me feel welcome and for taking such wonderful care of us.

You’ve truly been a godsend, and we are grateful!

To the doctors and staff at Montvale Health & Wellness:

Words cannot adequately express my sincere gratitude for the excellent professional and compassionate care I received at your facility. There was a time when I honestly believed that I would never be able to resume a normal pain-free life without surgery.

Over time and with your help, the improvement in my condition has been amazing. The combination of DRX therapy, epidural shots, physical therapy and chiropractic care helped me “turn the corner.”

Thank you very much for working with me financially when my health insurance company failed to cover so many of my treatments. I couldn’t have done it without your generous assistance and I truly appreciate it.

Again, thank you all so very much for keeping me focused and hopeful when everything else I had tried failed to improve my condition. I don’t know what I would have done without your help; surgery could have been my only option.

Montvale Health is a very professional establishment that provides the very best care to their patients. They are the pinnacle of restorative care in the healthcare community. Eve, and the PT Aide, keep up the good work!

I was experiencing joint pain in one of my legs and unable to walk and exercise any length of time. A hip replacement followed.

Then I received spinal adjustments and physical therapy at your clinic. That was a godsend for me.
Once more I could participate in a one-hour workout at my fitness center. My energy level and leg strength got a great jump-start with your treatments, ending in resounding improvements. I had tried Celebrex briefly, but it had negative side effects.

Chiropractic manipulations by Dr. Saint and Dr. Grantis put me back in shape. Michael Kryagin, my physical therapist, is an authority at pinpointing the exact problem areas. He knows in which direction we need to go with the exercises, soft tissue work, and stretches, etc.

It changed my life!

Last, but not least, because first impressions count a lot, the front desk offers a warm and friendly welcome consistently. Kudos to the lovely ladies!

I have been working with Kelly and Priscilla for several months to manage sciatic nerve and lower back pain associated with knee surgery. Their services are critical to my rehabilitation and I am thankful they customize each session to address the areas that are problematic for me. They are both highly professional and skilled at the services they provide.

My experience at Montvale Health’s physical therapy center has been excellent! The staff is friendly, caring and efficient. I am constantly progressing. I have an organized program set up to suit my needs. It has been a positive, healthful, and beneficial experience. The Physical Therapists and their aid, Ryan are terrific. They are encouraging and very knowledgable in their field. It has been the best!

A friend recommended me to Montvale Health stating she liked their multi-disciplinary approach to treatment. I thought it may be helpful for some of the various symptoms I had been experiencing, so I decided I would give them a try. I have been very impressed with the entire operation at Montvale Health. Their staff is extremely friendly and courteous, and answers any questions about your treatment in a very timely manner. They make you feel very at ease, and the ambiance is once that makes you feel comfortable as well. I have used both acupuncturists at Montvale Health. They each have a different style, but both are effective at ascertaining what your issues are from session to session, and then treating those specific areas. I have been using the acupuncture in conjunction with chiropractic care, and it seem sto be helping some of my pains that have been with me for quite some time. I would highly recommend Montvale Health if you are in need of a single approach, but especially would recommend them if you are going to have a multi-disciplinary approach as I have.

The DRX 9000 program was wonderful. It solved my degenerative disc problem, not just my pain symptoms. It’s permanent and it’s non-surgical. I’ve not had to take a pain killer since I started the program…

Once again I’m able to play with my kids, work out, run, bend, get out of bed, drive, etc. I’m grateful to Montvale Health and to the DRX 9000. I don’t know what I would do with myself if Montvale Health never got the word out to me.

Montvale Health is truly Top Notch! After treating at several other facilities, I can honestly say nothing comes close. I couldn’t ask for better doctors, physical therapists, massage therapy, or staff! I would recommend the group to anyone I know or meet. Thank you for taking such great care of me!

Excruciating sciatica pain left me crying whenever I had to drive just a few miles. It kept me from being able to sit at my desk job and perform my job duties, as well as caused me to miss some important work meetings due to my inability to commute any distance, nor to sit for long periods of time. I had to cancel lunch dates and other social interactions. I would go to work, return home, and go straight to bed, because lying down or walking were the only things that weren’t painful.

I didn’t want to take any type of drugs, like many people have stated they do when sciatica flares up. That only masks the pain and fills one’s liver with toxins. I wanted a more natural approach to working with my body to heal itself. Upon recommendations from co-workers, I sought help from Montvale Health & Wellness.
I was impressed with the thoroughness and knowledge of everyone there. I remember my sister stating, “That’s how you know you have a good doctor,” when I told her they wanted to perform tests and get the MRI results before beginning treatment.

The staff is very friendly, organized and cheerful. Appointments are made according to what I can fit in my schedule. I don’t have to sit and wait to be seen either. They all are also very knowledgeable asking the correct questions, and using the correct terminology and assessment for treatment during each visit. The doctors take the time to explain everything, as well as the physical therapists. The DRX machine for spinal decompression is the best invention ever. What could be better than lying down for gentle decompression with a machine doing the work, while you laugh and watch “Everyone Loves Raymond” or “Seinfeld” episodes sans commercials!

Their treatment worked, and now I feel even better than I did before the sciatica flared up! Plus, I gained an added bonus of getting my abs and core more toned and strengthened.

A sincere thank you to all the staff for helping me become pain free and happy again.

The staff at Montvale Health is professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I would wholeheartedly recommend the physical therapy services, as well as the services of the all the professional associated with Montvale Health & Wellness to friends and family.

My experience at MHA has been exceptional. The staff is very accommodating and welcoming. I started coming to MHA for a chronic back condition that I was very hesitant to address. I decided to try a facility that houses Various specialty doctors. I am so elated I did. With a proper diagnosis treatment plan I have dramatically improved n a short amount of time. I cannot thank the staff enough for everything they do.

I went into surgery Jan. 16 at the Hospital for Special Surgery. My doctor performed an ACL/PCL reconstruction, along with a high tibial osteotomy. The rehabilitation process was estimated to be approximately six months. I was non-weight bearing for six weeks on crutches, lying in a hospital bed in my basement. I never thought I would be able to walk correctly again.

I was given the “ok” to start active rehab for my knee. I was told it would be six weeks before I could even walk without my crutches, but by my four-week checkup I was walking with a cane. Michael and Sharon were so thorough and precise that my rehab was already four weeks ahead of schedule.

The staff at Montvale Health was always accommodating and courteous. I am now golfing, playing with my three children, and enjoying my life! Thanks for everything!

I have had a wonderful, very effective experience undergoing therapy here. I am already able to detect distinct improvements in my everyday life that I know are completely attributable to my therapy. My therapist has been patient and encouraging, and has helped to instill in me a real desire to work hard at the therapy and get the most out of it I possibly can. When I notice improvement in my mobility and flexibility, a reduction in pain and better recovery time, I see the results of the work I’ve done, Eve and Felipe.

I first learned about Montvale Health over 10 years ago when my daughter, at the age of 13, received treatment for a herniated disc. She was treated with chiropractic care, physical therapy, and DRX. This greatly improved her mobility and quality of life. That's how I knew Montvale Health would be the best treatment facility for me. Going to Montvale Health has been the best decision I've made for myself and my daughter. My experiences with Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Acupuncture, and Massage have all had positive impacts on my recovery. The staff is friendly, caring and professional. Thank you to Dr. Saint and his staff for making me feel like family.

This is my second time coming to Montvale Health & Wellness for physical therapy. I have made great progress in my recovery with the help of the physical therapist, Voltaire and the aid, Ryan. Everyone in the facility is extremely friendly and is really dedicated to your recovery. The employees at Montvale Health are very educated and good at what they do. It is by far the best physical therapy facility and experience I have had in my many years of dealing with my shoulder injury. With their help I have been able to keep boxing and exercising without pain. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to recover from an injury.

My experience at the Montvale Health is very positive. The treatments I receive are helpful and the staff is welcoming and friendly. Dr. Lambert has been patient and understanding of my treatments. He is always asking how I am doing and looking for different treatments to help identify the problem. It is a pleasure to go to my appointments. I would recommend this facility to others.

First of all, Jin Lee is a wonderful, effective therapist. I have been very happy with the acupuncture treatment I have experienced at Montvale Health. I had never had acupuncture therapy before and I did know what to expect. Jin Lee spent time discussing with me the areas of my body where I was experiencing difficulty and pain and prepared the treatment. The most overwhelming reaction I experienced – the first time and every time since – was a real, pronounced sense of well-being. In addition, I have noticed really positive effects in the areas being treated for pain. Overall the acupuncture therapy has been a very positive and enjoyable experience.

I am 26 years old. Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve always remembered having back pains. The constant aching and muscle twitching became part of my daily life.…I got to a point where simple physical therapy was not enough to help ease the pain. I had an unbearable pain of tightening muscles and pinching nerves that caused major discomfort. I was then diagnosed with a compressed disc on my lower spine and was told that I would need to be put on the DRX 9000. This was the machine that I was told would pull my spine to help decompress my disc. Sounds scary, I know, but it wasn’t at all what I expected it to be.

Six weeks of DRX 9000 helped take my discomfort away. Each session is about 30-45 minutes long and all I did was lie down, watch a show on the TV screen and relaxed. The process was pain free and I even felt a little taller at times after my sessions. After my therapy was over, I was able to gradually go back to my active life. I can stretch more, I can walk with no pain for longer periods of time, and most importantly, I can lie on either side of my body with no pain, allowing me to sleep better.

My daughter, age 6, was seen multiple times at the Center for Child Development having a complete audiological evaluation. She has normal hearing on the left side. However, on the right side, she was diagnosed with a non-compliant middle ear system (Type B tympanogram). The right hearing had progressed into the severe hearing loss and needed medical attention. The audiologist recommended she have an otolaryngological evaluation.

The first doctor, an Otolaryngologist (ENT), insisted my daughter needed multiple surgical procedures to correct the problem. My husband was seeing Dr. Saint for headaches, I mentioned my daughter’s condition and he said to bring her in to see if it could help. Dr. Saint brought out the teddy bear and talked to my daughter. When she felt comfortable, he began the adjustment.

After the end of the second week, my daughter commented the ocean was out of her ear. The pressure that had built up was now decreasing. By the end of the forth week she could clear her own ears. By the end of the sixth week, she could hear things she had been missing for years. We went back to the Otolaryngologist and she had perfect hearing in both ears. This was the first hearing test my daughter passed! She went back to the Center for Child Development and passed. My daughter is hearing in both ears without surgery. My daughter loves to go see Dr. Saint because it’s fun, but most of all because she likes being able to hear.

Dr. Saint worked with me to create an affordable but completely comprehensive plan to put me on the road to recovery. He was incredible in not only, explaining everything every step of the way, but also in providing exceptional chiropractic care!

I also just wanted to say thank you to everyone at Montvale Health. It was never a chore coming in, and everyone is so friendly and willing to talk with you. That atmosphere is why I will never stop telling people about Montvale Health, not just because their care led me to being pain free for the first time in at least 3 years. Thank you all!

First I’d like to say that I feel welcome here. The staff here is very friendly, on the phone and in person. The workouts have been helping a great deal. It hurts sometimes and is difficult, but I believe it is helping. The music in the PT Suite is also great. Keep up the good work.

I am a 51 year old female, generally healthy and fit. One morning three years ago, I became an invalid. I was unable to sit, use the bathroom, walk, or perform any basic movements involving my lower back and the left hip and leg. Pharmaceuticals dulled the pain somewhat, but ruined my digestive system. It was a very lonely time.

I was not bruised, not bleeding, not swollen, but unable to function with a constant debilitating and agonizing pain. An MRI revealed two herniated discs.

A series of three epidurals helped for a year, but a ride on a bike brought the fury of the pain back in a day. Anti-inflammatory medication and aqua-therapy helped this time, but this episode made me aware of my physical limitations. No golfing, no biking, no jogging, no lifting of a baby granddaughter…I accepted it knowing that I was running out of options. The only one left was surgery, which I wanted to avoid.

I found out about the DRX 9000 from a friend who just completed his decompression treatment and was enjoying life without pain for the first time in years. I was at Montvale Health as soon as they could have me. I followed all the instructions given by the doctors to the letter, and started feeling a change in the fifth week of treatment.

Now, four months since completing the treatment and physiotherapy, I feel alive! I golf, still badly, I rejoined the gym and started jogging again, I practice yoga and Pilates twice a week and just came back from a hiking trip to Wyoming. I am living my life again!

My experience at your facility was excellent. Dr. Lambert was very helpful and your entire staff was very professional. Thank you!

I have always been treated with all the care and wonderful treatment anyone could ask for
I will always recommend this facility to everyone I know. The DRX is a wonderful machine.
I hope when I will be done it will be totally helpful.

I had been a low back pain sufferer for many years…and reached a point where it was unbearable. Additionally, I had numbness going down my left leg and into my foot. I went from being extremely active to a virtual invalid. I could not stand up for any period of time and I could not walk more than 20 feet without having to stop and brace myself to allow some of the pain to subside and then go another 20 feet and do it all over again. Reluctantly, I agreed to use a wheelchair…I was desperate and was ready to consider surgery.

During this time I heard about spinal decompression and did some research on it. I was referred to Montvale Health & Wellness. I was examined and approved for spinal decompression and immediately began treatments.

It has been over 3 months and I have completed the regular decompression treatments and physical therapy and am currently on maintenance. The pain in my low back and numbness in my leg is gone and the wheelchair, thankfully, is a distant memory. I am back to working out at the gym…I urge anyone with back pain to be examined to see if you are a candidate for decompression and to consider surgery only as a last resort. I am happy to recommend Montvale Health. The facility is 1st rate and the staff is great.

An orthopedic doctor said the only option to alleviate my pain was a surgical procedure. I couldn’t go to work because of the constant pain down my leg, so I had to take 12 weeks short-term disability from my job.

Before having surgery, I wanted to check into any other options available. I asked a chiropractor that I knew and trusted to look at my MRI and offer a second opinion. After reading the MRI results, she suggested a treatment called Spinal Decompression Therapy…that had a high percent success rate and that I should have a consultation with Dr. Saint.

Dr. Saint was very encouraging and started me on the DRX 9000. After approximately eight treatments on the machine (2 weeks), my pain lessoned and stopped. It was great to see how this treatment worked and I felt much better! I went to the orthopedic doctor for a follow-up visit in which he was quite amazed at my recovery since last seeing him a few weeks earlier.

I was able to return to work with no pain in my leg or back! I was very grateful that Dr. Saint gave me an alternative to surgery and that using the DRX 9000 machine was successful!

I have three herniations in the lower back, which has left me with reduced range of motion and pain. The DRX treatments have significantly reduced pain and increased my range of motion.

I was referred to Montvale Health by a friend and fellow dancer. I was experiencing pain and extreme discomfort in my right hip due to excessive dancing and arthritis. It was recommended that I see Dr. Lambert. At the time of my first visit my pain level was between a 9 and 10. After an x-ray and physical exam by Dr. Lambert I knew I was in the right place. I was then evaluated by the Physical Therapist under Dr. Lambert’s watchful eye. After a month of acupuncture therapy and physical therapy I have gone down to a pain level of 1 and some days even 0. Dr. Lambert continues to monitor my condition and progress weekly. What I find most comforting is his calm, positive, thorough, and attentive demeanor. For the first time I feel like a doctor was really listening to me with my concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Lambert and Montvale Health.

Dr. Lambert is very knowledgeable of acupuncture techniques. I was experiencing pain and weakness down my leg related to back issues. I was tense and my muscles were in knots causing additional pressure on the nerves. Dr. Lambert provided acupuncture treatments for pain and relaxation. He was very professional and explained everything as he went along. Additionally he provided counseling on how I should maintain my wellness through regular exercise routines. The intervention he provided, along with the Physical Therapy staff at Montvale Health, was vital to my recovery strategy.

At Montvale Health, I received exceptional service. From PT, acupuncture, front desk scheduling and medical doctor guidance, they treated all my ailments. They showed empathy and true concern for me. My husband was also a patient of their chiropractor services and still is a massage client. He too had good experiences here at the center. They don’t just treat your condition, they handle all your physical and emotional needs together. Dr. Lambert and the staff will care for and treat the whole you. I highly recommend giving Montvale Health a try. A big thank you to the entire staff.

I wanted to thank the staff for a thoughtful and well planned/executed therapy experience. Having gone from indestructible to mere mortal in a few years has given me a great appreciation for what you do.

Wishing you much success in the future!!

This facility is so welcoming. Maria at the front desk always greets me by my name and is so very helpful in scheduling my appointments. Dr. Lambert is another excellent professional who specializes in pain treatment in conjunction with physical therapy. He and his entire staff have been wonderful.

Jin was absolutely fantastic. Admittedly, I was skeptical of acupuncture and wanted to try it purely out of curiosity. I am now a believer. There was barely any pain regarding the needles and Jin was incredible in assessing what issues I spoke about and remedying them.

I also just wanted to say thank you to everyone at Montvale Health. It was never a chore coming in, and everyone is so friendly and willing to talk with you. That atmosphere is why I will never stop telling people about Montvale Health, not just because their care led me to being pain free for the first time in at least 3 years. Thank you all!

I have been to their facility over the year for knee, shoulder surgery rehab, three herniated neck discs and three times for lower back problems from an auto accident years ago. After my first visit I eliminated my general practitioner and now go directly here. My lower back problem came back and I am receiving various treatment including my first time on the DRX machine and I highly recommend it if it is right for your problems. As with every visit the facility is clean and comfortable, the staff always greets me with a warm and friendly greeting. The scheduling is very accommodating, there is never a wait for me and I am worked on right away, with no wait between three or four different treatments on the visit. They are genuinely concerned with how I am feeling the whole time there. Every employee is friendly and extremely professional. I always highly recommend this facility to everyone I meet who is complaining of pain their body.

I am 66 years old and have experienced lower back pains for many years. Three years ago my back pains increased to the point that I could barely walk and couldn’t play golf or do everyday tasks. After consulting an orthopedic surgeon, I found I needed right hip surgery which incapacitated me for several months after a dislocation.

I then had several months of therapy which included physical therapy, heat, ice and electrical therapy. I felt only slightly better. I then consulted Montvale Health & Wellness for treatment including spinal decompression. After 20 of the 28 treatments, I found I could stand and walk for longer periods of time, and had substantially less pain when getting out of bed in the morning.

After physical therapy and the spinal decompression, I am able to walk and exercise more which will hopefully continue to improve my back problems. All the therapists at Montvale Health were very caring and attentive to my condition and I would especially like to thank Mara and Tom for their help.

My back problems began approximately 6 years ago. Since then my back problems and pain have become increasingly worse. I have been through chiropractic care and physical therapy from a variety of different doctors and facilities but nothing seemed to have resolved my problems in the long term.

As I am very physically active, I found this extremely discouraging and was told that I might have to give up the activities and sports I loved. I found Montvale Health & Wellness through a co-worker who is in active care with chiropractic. After my consult, the doctor recommended getting a lumbar MRI to confirm with his findings that I was a DRX candidate. It turns out I was.

I began lumbar DRX (spinal decompression) treatment in late February. After 5 sessions I felt better and I knew that progress was being made. After 11 sessions, I grew even more positive about my progress and after 15, I was experiencing virtually little to no back pain. At this point I am 95% better from where I started. It’s been 6 years since this has happened.

I am very grateful to the doctors and staff of Montvale Health for giving me another option besides invasive surgery that has no guarantee of success. This has been the best facility with the best care I have ever experienced.

The simple act of bending over to pick up a bag of groceries triggered my lower back to go into a complete spasm. I’ve had lower back pain before, but this one was full-blown and put me in so much pain that not even a prescription pain killer provided any relief.

The next morning I called Dr. Saint who immediately accommodated me for rush treatment. They put me through a series of electric stim sessions with ice packs, endermology treatments, and chiropractic adjustments.
Within four days I was able to walk standing up straight with a normal stride and minimal pain.

I continue my visits regularly and now use a home TENS unit with an ice pack which really works wonders… thank you Dr. Saint and your great staff for all of your efforts…you guys are the best!

It’s a miracle!

I lived for months with constant nagging pain in my shoulder, day and night. I was fearful of any activity involving shoulder rotation because it made the pain worse.

I now have greater range of motion and I live pain free and can do activities that I have avoided for months. Michael continued to let me push my limits only as long as I continued progressing. He knew when to make me lighten up on the therapy. This sped up my recovery and within just 3 months of PT, my shoulder feels “as good as new.” Conversely, I watched him prod more tentative patients to push harder. “Just do this one more exercise, just try this before you leave this evening.” His intuition on what muscles to strengthen and when to watch out for tendonitis was a huge factor in the healing process. I went into PT not expecting too much progress since I assumed my chronic pain was “old age” and was not the result of a surgery. I wondered how far I would ever progress. The time and effort on my part for three days a week and Michael’s uncanny ability to continually adjust my exercise regimen as well as knead out the problem knots allowed me to progress more than I ever thought. I am so excited and pleased at my progress and I hope you meet with the same success. Follow Michael’s protocol and go for it! The result is well worth every bit of your effort, with his expert guidance.

Everyone at Montvale Health is great! There is usually no waiting time, and the doctors and assistants are very attentive to my needs. I usually get an adjustment, heat and stim and get a great massage from Kelly. I would highly recommend this office to anyone who is in need of chiropractic care!

I have been asked by the Montvale Health & Wellness team to write an honest evaluation of my therapy treatment. I would state without hesitation or equivocation that MHA has been very helpful and supportive during my rehabilitation. Their concern for my well being and recover has been exceptional. The entire staff has gone beyond my expectations.

I would highly recommend Montvale Health & Wellness to any one in need of their services. Their approach is holistic and coordinated to help attain a speedy recovery.

I had Physical Therapy at Montvale Health & Wellness for about a month. It was very helpful. The therapists were all excellent and very pleasant. My experience was great.

I’ve just had my fourth injury in the past few years and there is no other place (all 4 times!) that I would even consider going to for my physical therapy then Montvale Health & Wellness. The staff there and the personal attention that a patient receives are second to none! When you arrive in the Physical Therapy Center, you are always greeted in a friendly, professional manner by all of the caring technicians and Therapists. Equipment, etc, had been prepared in advance for your arrival by the wonderful Technicians and Physical Therapists.

My Physical Therapist has been amazing in his attention to every detail in giving me the proper exercises and various therapies to get me prepared for my return to work and being free of pain. I feel like his is making it his personal goal in making sure I get healed in a timely manner and that I am doing the exercises, etc. correctly and receiving the proper attention. He maps out a complete plan for my home exercises, along with equipment for me to use at home. When I go for my check-ups at my Orthopedic Doctor he has always been pleasantly surprised with my progress! Going to Montvale Health & Wellness is the only place for me and all of the staff there are the best you’ll find anywhere! I am grateful for all that they do!

My experience at Montvale Health & Wellness has been truly positive.

I started therapy the day after my shoulder surgery, feeling apprehensive, in pain, and with my arm immobilized in a sling. I thought I’d never progress at all, but my therapist Michael Kryagin, was an exceptional professional with endless patience who provided me with the utmost care.

Michael knew when to push me and when to pull back. He never suggested I do more than I was comfortable with. But, he was always firm as to what was best for me, and I’m amazed at the progress I’ve made in eight weeks.

My experience with Michael’s physical therapy program was highlighted by his expertise, patience, kindness, care and concern.

I highly recommend Montvale Health & Wellness and most especially, Michael Kryagin, for anyone considering Physical Therapy.

From the front desk staff to all of the professionals, everyone makes you feel so welcome and like you are family or part of a team. They made me feel so comfortable that my fears just disappeared. I also felt so much better. My back and shoulder pain has improved significantly. I sing their praise to all who will listen!

I am writing to inform you of my wonderful experience at your facility. Overall, the entire staff should be commended for their professionalism exhibited with patients at all times. The front desk staff was always friendly, greeting patients by name as they entered Montvale Health.

In particular, I am grateful to Michael Kryagin, Physical Therapist for my speedy recovery. Mr. Kryagin took the time to discuss with my orthopedist and me my injuries and establish how he would proceed with my therapy. At the beginning of each session Mr. Kryagin would diligently assess my condition and adjust my therapy accordingly. He managed my care with the utmost professionalism, while still showing humanity and sense of humor.

Mr. Kryagin is an asset to Montvale Health & Wellness; he is knowledgeable and sensitive towards the concerns of his patients. I wish you and your staff continued success.

Undergoing therapy at Montvale Health has been an incredibly good experience for me. Everyone on the staff that I have dealt with – physical therapists, acupuncturist, and the people at the front desk – have been helpful, friendly, happy to help, encouraging and focused on doing their best. Dealing with such terrific, committed people really has enhanced my own experience.
