Julie Zapata is a highly skilled and gifted physical therapist. She has greatly helped both my husband and me with treatments and exercises for various chronic postural issues and post-surgical healing & strengthening . I thank my lucky stars for the knowledge, resourcefulness, dedication and care she brings to each and every treatment we’ve received . Thank you so much, Julie!

Julie Zapata is an incredible Physical Therapist. I had a complex problem from an accident, that even the best neurosurgeons, orthopedists, pain management specialists and many physical therapists, couldn’t quite figure out, but Julie Zapata did. She got me from a place of pain 90% of the day and unable to walk without a pronounced limp, to walking without a limp and almost pain free. Her knowledge of the body is extensive and she creates an individualized, creative program, that she adjusts each week as one’s body strengthens , stabilizes and heals. She stays at your side for the entire session guiding you. Not a factory at all. She is a one in a million Physical Therapist and she has really saved my life.

Julie is a first-rate physical therapist, and I'm glad to see her business growing as others learn what I learned a couple of years ago--she's first rate! I never need to tell her what to work on--back, legs, etc.--she knows as soon as I walk in and she's always right. She challenges me-but nothing I can't handle and she does it in a way that always stretches me and my boundaries. Thanks to her I'm in far better shape than I ever was when I first walked in. And to top it off, she’s a great person! I highly recommend her!.

Julie and Andrea are superb physical therapists. Their skills enabled me to avoid surgery for my torn rotator cuff - they restored full mobility to my shoulder and thanks to them I am pain free!

Questions & Answers

Do I need a prescription?

Jackson Mendy | Jul 1, 2022

New York State has direct access. You can see a PT without a prescription for up to 30 days or 10 sessions. Any Physician, Nurse Practitioner or Dentist can write you a script. It does not have to be a surgeon or specialist, although if you have had a recent trauma or surgery, it is helpful. Medicare requires a prescription though. They are most strict on this. However, once received, your script could be valid for 90 days.

What should I expect on my first session?

You and the therapist will have a thorough conversation on your current physical problem as well as your general state of health and fitness. Be prepared to have your affected body part or region seen and touched for a complete physical examination. Be prepared to move, and be an active participant in your hour long session.

What is a deductible and how does it affect me?

Ruby W. Bruno | Jul 1, 2022

Even if you do pay a lot for your insurance plan, and have a gold or platinum level, chances are that you have a deductible. If you have a $200. deductible, it means you have to pay the first $200. yourself and then you would just be responsible for copay. We make this easy by submitting your insurance claims electronically for you.

Why are you out of network?

Wanda Rossi | Jul 1, 2022

Most insurance companies do not pay for a full hour with a therapist. That is why many places use aides and assistants. Insurance companies low-ball therapists and doctors and this drives professionals to see more patients, quantity over quality, so to speak. Higher Physical Therapy feels that the best and only way to treat is one-on-one, for results.

Do you accept insurance?

Wanda Rossi | Jul 1, 2022

Call us. We take Medicare and are out of network with most other insurances. That is so we can deliver the best possible care.
