Colleen Berry is an awesome therapist. Her skill and attention to detail is great. After rotator cuff surgery, I feel 100%, thanks to Colleen. I couldn’t be happier with the entire staff at Excel in Old Tappan. Thank you!

Sam and Evan are the best. After extensive and numerous spinal surgeries Sam has helped me get through the daily pain and has me on the way to recovery. She is an excellent therapist and a joy to be around. I cannot say enough about the staff at Excel Old Tappan...they are a caring, intelligent, professional, fun group of therapists and staff that make physical rehab beneficial to anyone in need of their services. Scheduling is a breeze through Meaghan as well!

I arrived at Excel after surgery to repair my broken arm/shoulder. Colleen and the rest of the team got me feeling better and back on the cross country roster in no time.

Physical therapist Samantha was amazing. I came in with severe lower back pain. With a combination of hands-on massage and an exercise routine I left Excel free of pain. My back has not felt this good in decades.

I went to Excel to help me with knee and leg pain. My therapist Frank has put together a plan of therapy and exercise that is relieving my pain greatly. I didn't realize how pain free i had become until i had to skip a week! Three years ago I had a back issue and Excel PT helped me through that problem as well. The whole staff there is pleasant. I recommend Excel very highly.

Evan is a miracle worker. I now have to remember which foot was hurt. I am 100% back to normal. Besides being so good as his job, he is one of the nicest people ever. An ever present smile is always on his face. Everybody truly thinks he is wonderful! I do also have to add that all the other employees there are excellent, caring and the nicest people. It was a pleasure to have to go there three days a week. If you need PT, this is the only place to go!

I have received outstanding physical therapy services (after an intensive knee surgery) at the Old Tappan Excel therapy office. Dr. John Gallagher PT,DPT,CEAS provides unique and highly customized therapy interventions. It was through John's collaboration with my orthopedic MD and focused physical therapy that I have attained a great outcome. Excellent support staff as well.
13:27 24 Sep 20
I had been treated by John Gallagher previously and had a great result. Recently I had a life altering injury and even though my physican recommended a different facility, I knew exactly where and to who I needed to go. The entire staff is professional and kind. The facility during these Covid times is safe and clean but most importantly the knowledge, patience and skill that John Gallagher offers is outstanding. I worked with John for weeks so I could be as strong as possible preparing for surgery and now undergoing post surgical treatment and doing fantastic. I couldn’t recommend John and the Excel team more highly if you want lasting results.
22:03 29 Aug 20
The excellent team of therapists at Excel are dedicated, knowledgeable and friendly. Every therapeutic workout has furthered my progress following knee replacement. I highly recommend Excel Physical Rehab. They are the best. Thank you to John and all team members.

John and the staff at the Old Tappan location are so professional and knowledgeable. This is by far the best physical therapy facility I have ever experienced. I have been back for three different issues and each time my injury has been addressed. I can't sing their praises enough!

The entire staff at Excel in Old Tappan is friendly, caring and professional. After years of hip pain, and a hip replacement, my orthopedist recommended that I see John Gallagher at Excel. John's attention to detail in developing an individualized rehab plan for me has been instrumental to my healing. I recommend Old Tappan Excel to anyone who is looking for results from PT. Thank you John and your entire staff for your dedication to your clients!

John Gallagher PT, and his excellent PT staff and assistants saved my career.As a performing violinist in NYC, I developed chronic and severe dysfunction in each shoulder, including frozen shoulder, bicep tendonitis,impingement and adhesive capsulitis. After 4 months of doing PT with someone else, my condition had deteriorated badly, I couldn't use my shoulders for much of anything, and I despaired of performing again.My rheumatologist sent me to John, and within a month I had mobility back and lessening pain. 6 months later, I have no pain, and complete function & mobility in both shoulders, and strength again!! Physical Therapy at EXCEL is diligent, thorough, professional and gets results. They address all issues completely, and are the best PT"s I have encountered ever.

John and his team are a pleasure to work with. Everyone from the front staff to the therapists are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. My back pain has become much more manageable since going there. I highly recommend them.
