Dr. Nick is simply the best! One of the best decisions I made was seeing him to help with my hamstring issue/injury. For almost a year, I just kept putting off trying to figure out what was wrong and dealing with the pain. He not only found the problem, but gave me great insight as to why and what we needed to do to fix it. He is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about his work, and truly wants to help make you feel better. You can see how much he cares for his patients and their well being. Dr Nick is the Physical Therapist you need! You will not be disappointed!

Dr. Nick came highly recommended to me when my boys were in highschool. They are aggressive year round athletes and suffered from minor aches and pains from constant use. Dr. Nick not only treated them but gave them ways to maintain on the daily. As college athletes now and just as aggressive, they still use those very exercises and see Dr. Nick from time to time when they are home from school. For me personally, I recently embellished a weight loss journey and hurt my knee. Dr. Nick did a thorough evaluation of my pain and has been rebuilding the weak muscles surrounding the injury. I too follow the exercises and feel the success. Dr. Nick is educated, precise and offers genial patient care. I would refer him to my family and friends and anyone who needs physical therapy. He is local and is a great resource for managing your pain.

I have been going to Dr. Nick for a couple of months now. I have consistently sprained my right ankle in soccer and prior to Dr. Nick's treatments, I would consistently roll my ankle just by walking. Dr. Nick is very knowledgeable and patient with you. He will take the time to explain anything you do not understand. After a few sessions, I started to build strength around my ankle. Dr. Nick is also very flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Nick if you have any issues.

Dr. Nick is absolutely the best! As a former Division I athlete I have seen my fare share of physical therapists, but Dr. Nick takes rehab to another level. I recently saw him for a sprained ankle. I went from being barely able to walk to running 7+ miles in about 3 months. Dr. Nick tailors the rehab to your specific injury with each exercise having a distinct purpose and rationale (which Dr. Nick thoroughly explains so you never have to question why you are doing something). I left rehab feeling stronger than I had in years. All in all, absolutely fantastic.

Dr. Nick is awesome! I came to him with pain across the right side of my lower back that was negatively affecting my workouts and daily activities. Within 4 sessions he addressed my imbalances/weaknesses and since working with Nick and following his program, lifting has been pain-free. I finally feel strong and confident again and it's all thanks to him. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable and spends the ENTIRE session working one on one with his clients. Working with Dr. Nick is unlike any other PT experience I've had. I highly recommend working with him!

So grateful for Dr. Nick’s intervention to heal my lower back pain. He did an amazing job explaining the purpose and benefits of each exercise and video recorded my movements so that I could continue my routine at home. He has a great bedside manner and I’m happy that he is available at Spa 23 should I need him again in the future. Definitely recommend!!

Dr. Nick has been the best physical therapist I have ever met! The experience is very personalized as he gets to know his clients and patients on a very personal level making the time you spend with him comfortable and enjoyable. After tearing my MCL in the preseason I was unable to walk, and after meeting with Dr. Nick for only a week I was back to doing full sprints. My overall recovery time with him was amazing and I highly recommend him to every athlete!!!

I’m a long time member at SPA23 and workout 5-6 days each week, so my body definitely needs recovery. I take advantage of the convenient in-house services that are offered at the gym (chiropractic, massage). Dr. Nick recently opened his “office” inside the gym. He offered me a free evaluation. Since I sustained a lower back injury last summer, I thought it couldn’t hurt to do some preventative maintenance and self-care. Dr. Nick identified some areas where I’m lacking strength and mobility. He works with me 1:1 for a full hour each week. I’ve been to other PT offices where my therapist divided my time among several patients and I felt forgotten about. I really feel valued because Dr. Nick gives me his undivided attention. He is professional and passionate about improving his clients’ athletic performance and overall well-being. Not only does he care when you’re in his office, but he takes time throughout the week to check on your exercises and answer any questions. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I’ve only been working with Dr. Nick for about 1 month and I’ve see so much improvement already - can’t wait to see what’s going to happen a few months from now! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Nicholas Buonforte with DRIVE Physical Therapy and Performance, whether you’re a professional athlete, an avid gym-goer, have sustained an injury, or anything in between!!

Went to Dr. Nick after I experienced pain in my shoulder that left me unable to press any amount of weight. In as little as 3 weeks not only was I pain free, I was lifting more weight than i had ever before. Nick is incredibly knowledgeable and his passion for his craft shines through in every session. He is genuinely interested in helping you heal and makes sure that you understand what he is working on, and gives you exercises and stretches to do outside of your sessions to make sure you progress as efficiently as possible. Dr. Nick is the absolute best in the business.

Dr. Nick is an excellent physical therapist and person! I've been running for years and thought I was going to have to cut back due to a leg injury... after working with Dr. Nick, I am now training for the NYC marathon and am pain-free. He cares about the well-being of patients and treatment is made to fit your individual needs. I started feeling the results of our sessions almost immediately. Dr. Nick is the best option if you want to make real progress and heal!!
