Patient Testimonials

I’ve been going to Top Choice PT for almost 6 months now so I have gotten to know the staff very well. While the PT, PT assistant and the rest of the staff are very knowledgeable and work very hard the more important part to me is just how much they care about their patients and the whole community really. Top Choice creates an environment where it’s easy to get better no matter who you are or what health issues you have.

Excellent therapists and staff. I was prescribed PT for my shoulder, where I was waking up with shooting pains. I made an appointment with DPT Ariel Castro, based on board certification, reviews, and location. I knew I came to the right place starting from the initial consultation. Ariel was laser focused in pinpointing what needed remediation, as well as identifying secondary issues such as my biceps tendonitis. Within a few short weeks, I was no longer waking up in pain, proving the effectiveness of his assessment and regimen. Further in my progress, I was fortunate to meet and receive care from other therapists and staff as Ariel supervised their care and my performance. The staff are as professional as they are genuinely supportive and caring. Most notably, they are also very supportive of each other, always mutually providing feedback and insight. The culture here demonstrates commitment to their improvement, which translates to stellar care. Special thanks to Ariel, Scarleth, David, and Lymari. Of course thanks too, to the gatekeepers at the front desk, Lorelis & Pam, they keep schedules well planned and payments simple. I came seeking good treatment, and found more – a great team that made the routine of recovery a pleasant and memorable experience. They really are a “Top Choice” for physical therapy, highly recommended!

I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience I’ve had at Top Choice Physical Therapy and Wellness. The staff goes above and beyond to understand and address the root causes of your symptoms, and they treat you with care, compassion and professionalism to ensure you walk out feeling better than when you walked in. The extent of their knowledge about their craft is evident in the quality of care you receive. I’ve spent the last several months being treated by Ariel and Scarlett and they’ve truly done wonders to improve my condition. I’d recommend anyone seeking treatment to check out Top Choice… You will not be disappointed.

Due to medical issues, I deal with severe pain at times. My doctor suggested I see a Physical Therapist and although I was skeptical, I made an appointment. In the short time I’ve been visiting them I am very pleased with my treatment. Ariel and Scarlett have been amazing at helping me maneuver through my coordinated workouts. I am enjoying the massages more than I ever believed possible. The place is clean and every one of the employees is caring and really make you feel like your well-being is important to them. I 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to receive Physical Therapy.

As soon as you schedule an appointment at Top Choice, you can rest assured that you are taking steps on the road to recovery. Juan, the owner of the practice, is very sensitive to each patient’s needs and will create a plan specifically for your strength and recovery. Any time I feel pain in my knees, I always know who I can trust to get me up and running again. I highly recommend this practice to anyone in Jersey City!

Excellent. The people at Top Choice are great at what they do. I was looking around for a good therapist and I got exactly what I needed with Top Choice. Great people and a nice clean facility. Thanks, guys, really appreciate everything you have done for me.

I was treated at Top Choice for multiple injuries at different times, Plantar Fascitis, and knee issues as well as Sciatica during a pregnancy. Juan treated me for all these. I took all his instructions with me after my treatment was done, and I’m happy to say I don’t suffer from these ailments anymore.

My experience with Juan was enjoyable. While he attends to more than one patient at a time on occasion, he multi-tasks very well and gives his attention to everyone in the room accordingly. I rarely had to stand around and wait for too long to get any direction from him for my therapy workouts. Oh, and he’s got a great sense of humor and is nice to talk to while being treated.

His office staff is all friendly and kind. I never had to sit in the waiting room for more than 10 minutes to be taken in to see him. I would and have recommended him to other people who are in need of physical therapy.

Juan is incomparable. I speak not just for myself but for several friends and neighbors to whom I have recommended him. He combines an encyclopedic understanding of the body with a deep empathy for his clients. He has twice rescued me from disabling sciatica, helping me rebuild strength and flexibility with a mixture of exercises and hands on deep tissue work.

Great experience with Juan. Really helped me get back to running condition after a major bunion surgery. He also aided in strengthening my back which was giving me issues for years. The time spent on doing exercises in his office made him stand out from all the rest.

After tearing my Achilles last summer I needed to find a PT that would be able to get me back on my feet. I am so thankful for Juan helping me recover after surgery and accommodating me with my work schedule. Less than 1 year after my injury, I am back to running and all activities thanks to Juan. Juan is an amazing physical therapist with plenty of experience. He takes a personal interest in all of his patients, and provides tailored solutions for each of his sessions. I would definitely recommend Top Choice Physical Therapy and Wellness for anyone in need of physical therapy.

Juan is an awesome therapist & person!! I was in a car accident and severely injured my back a couple years ago and started physical therapy with Juan at a different location. He helped me as much as he could before I had my surgery. Fast forward to post surgery- I heard he left the previous location and opened up his own practice. I followed him to his practice because I felt very comfortable working with him; I was seeing results, he already knew my history and journey with this injury, and simply because he knows his stuff!! I love his technique of targeted exercises and hands on deep tissue massage. I can feel my back getting stronger each day and having less aches and pains. He was committed to making me feel better throughout the entire process which reflected on his dedication to his practice. I would highly recommend Juan to everyone who is looking for a physical therapist!

Juan is an incredible physical therapist. After my first session with him, I immediately felt relief and knew that he was the person to help me. He provides a safe, caring, and joyful environment and is extremely knowledgeable. I give him my highest recommendation. (P.S., while we may have the same last name, we are in no way related 🙂

I would like to thank Juan Nunez and his team for their help and professionism. The staff is so kind and helpful. The union city location is very clean, well kept and convienently located.

Very professional, good person, very helpful, I like his technique painful but helpful. Love to see that Juan and his partners try their best to make you feel better. Definitely, I will recommend this place for any conditions you might have to feel better.

Juan is a great Physical therapist. I have been to countless physical therapy offices in both New York and New Jersey over the last 5 years and I can tell you Top Choice Physical Therapy is Top Notch. Their front desk receptionist and billing manager are efficient, helpful, and accommodating. I was able to schedule my appointments around my busy school and work schedule. I believe they truly care about me as a patient. I am grateful to Juan and his entire staff for helping me recover from not one but TWO injuries simultaneously.

FYI the business has a clean professional yet welcoming friendly- like atmosphere! And they are open Saturday Mornings!

Dr. Nunez and his staff are fantastic. They’ve done a fantastic job with my rehab post-meniscus surgery. He understood my needs (I am highly active and wanted to get back to cycling and running ASAP…), explained the process and the rationale behind each exercise and happy to say I am almost 100% back in a very reasonable timeframe – his staff made the sessions enjoyable, his front office is professional and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend Dr. Nunez!

5-Stars! Top Choice has been an amazing therapeutic experience. Dr. Nunez is clearly devoted to his clients, takes his time to assess your individual issues/injuries, and creates a plan that will target your specific needs. The entire staff at the facility works with you to ensure you feel welcome, and work to ensure your receive the best therapy session. I would definitely recommend Dr. Nunez to any athlete or sports enthusiast (such as myself), as well as any individual with long-term needs. Dr. Nunez treated all my injuries, and I was back in the gym in just a few weeks! I will definitely be returning!

In a time where the standard practice of businesses is to automate their treatment in order to follow the guidelines of insurance requirements, Top Choice is a rare gem! Dr. Nunez and his team genuinely care!! They know your name and more importantly they remember your progression. Each session is a building block on the previous session with new exercises introduced regularly to provide new challenges. I loved going in for my physical therapy. I also loved how the place had a feeling of small town community. There were tons of locals being treated, young patients, old patients, athletes, non-athletes and everyone was extremely warm with each other. Top Choice is knowledgeable, capable and genuine and I feel fortunate to have been one of their patients.

I have been seeing Juan Nunez for about 6 years now and he has made a world of difference in my life! I suffer from severe lumbar scoliosis among other injuries/issues from years of competitive bodybuilding and Juan is the only person who is able to “fix” my issues and give me relief from pain. When I first went to him I could barely walk from a bad back issue and within a couple of months I was back at the gym training for a bodybuilding competition. He is true professional and I trust him 100%. His knowledge and skill are unmatched!

Juan is like no other PT I have ever seen (and I have been to many). He is always doing assessments to see what is going on in the body and which parts are contributing to the problem. As opposed to many places that simply read the script and give you exercises to do. The spirit in Juan’s treatment rooms is always positive. He inspires hope in the healing process and you will know you are in good hands upon your first meeting. I recommend everyone I know and strangers who are suffering with pain to go and see Dr. Nunez. He is one of a kind in this profession and with his help you can change your life.

When I started treatment with Dr. Nunez about 3 weeks ago I could barely walk three blocks and had intense pain all along my right side. Since the first session, I have felt so much relief. I can walk without my leg going numb and the pain in my shoulder has gone away. He really cares about you and asks questions to make sure things are working in your favor. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has pain and feels hopeless like I did. I’m getting back to my normal life and it’s thanks to him. Dr. Nunez is the best!!!!!!

Juan is the best PT I have ever been to. He cares so much about his patients! I always look forward to chatting with him over physical therapy sessions. His office is clean and modern and his staff is pleasant.

Dr. Juan Nunez is a great Therapist. If you have any pain in your body or injuries he is definitely the person to go to. He will get you right back on your feet ready for daily life… I am forever grateful for his Dedication. Five stars!! He and his staff are very caring and friendly
