Stacey H Kessler Otr L

Stacey is the Rolls Royce of therapists. I unfortunately, have had the need for several hand and leg therapists over the years. Stacey, hands down (or up, as the case may be), was the best! She spends the full hour one-​on-​one therapy with patient and improvement is tangible after each visit. Most therapists do limited 1:1 with directions for patient to do individual exercises on their own. They typically service several patients at a time.
Stacey cares and spent the full session with me and was always just an absolute pleasure and delight to be with (despite my pain), which is always a bonus.
She really saved my arm. After my rotator cuff surgery, I went to therapy sessions at a local gym (from the fancy ones) and my arm became increasingly worse and worse. My surgeon was at a loss and finally suggested for me to switch therapists and recommended Stacey. Thank you surgeon. I even had residual pain from an old broken wrist from years before and Stacey fixed that too.
Every time I turn my wrist, lift my arm or measure how high my arm can reach my back, I smile and thank Stacey. So yes — I recommend Stacey– you will be lucky if you get her.

You know when you go to a PT and get passed down an assembly line and feel like you’re in a chop shop? Totally opposite experience with Stacey.
She sees one patient at a time and spends an entire hour working with you 1:1 at every session. I’m in my fourth week of OT and she still texts me between sessions to see how I am feeling.
PS She accepts my insurance… Big bonus/​rarity in NYC…

Stacey is a highly trained therapist and truly cares for her patients (now in Midtown location). She goes out of the way to make recovering a breeze and fun process at the same time. In a world where PT’s run from patient to patient and spend 15 min with the average patient, Stacey is a diamond in the ruff, and always devotes a full hour + to her appointments, never making you feel rushed. Great listener too! Highly recommended!
