Mitzi worked with my 13 year old son while he was recovering from surgery. She read through his post surgery reports and communicated with the Memorial Sloan Kettering team after each session. We really appreciate Mitizi's ability to understand exactly what our son needed even though there wasn't much information for his transfer of care. She worked with him to do to regain his strength and mobility and overall had incredible patience with him. We would highly recommend to all our friends and family.

Mitzi is the best! I’ve been to a few PT places but Mitzi was extremely knowledgeable, patient and effective. I have full range of my knee after my third meniscus surgery. The healthiest it’s felt since I first hurt it. Recommend this place to everyone and will definitely being go back again if needed!!!

My son started to go to LEAP Physical Therapy last spring when he was granted this service through our school district. He worked with Mitzi Santos, who immediately made a tremendous impact on him. She was soft, encouraging, and also managed to help him strive to do more than he thought he was capable of doing. When our district determined my son no longer required this service, I sought it through medical insurance and we have continued to see Mitzi, even at an added fee.
I really started to see the impact my son's sessions with Mitzi had on a recent family outing to a Catskills resort

Mitzi Santos, the owner of Leap PT, is the most wonderful Physical Therapist you could ever possibly come across! She not only is kind, caring, friendly, energetic, and hardworking, but she is also INCREDIBLY knowledgeable in her area of expertise. She worked with my son in person for Early Intervention, as well as remotely during the pandemic for CPSE. Mitzi was nothing short of consistent and professional. My favorite part of watching my son work with Mitzi was each and every session we did something NEW, whether it was in person or over a zoom call. Each session was fresh and exciting, and my

I’m 66 years old, with two herniated discs in my lower back. I had significant, chronic back pain when I began physical therapy at Leap, just one month ago. After eight visits, I am pain free. I’m very impressed with Mitzi and staff. They are professional, knowledgeable, friendly and the facility is scrupulously clean, following all covid related regulations. Highly recommend.

I must say that I am very please with the work that you are doing with my grand-daughter, Brielle. You are very good with her and we have seen so much progress since she started her treatment with you. You are very thorough and detailed and we truly appreciate all that you are doing.
Keep doing what you are doing. You're doing an amazing job.

Dr. Santos is AMAZING. Our four year old son goes for Early Intervention Pre-K Services and today his gym teacher told me she has noticed a major difference in motor skills and confidence since the beginning of the school year. When I noted that we go to PT and she said- "you can definitely tell!" As important, our son LOVES seeing Dr. Santos! Every day when I pick him up from school he hopefully asks--are we going to Dr. Mitzi today? The sessions are light and fun and he doesn't even know he's working muscles, but he truly is, and as an adult I can clearly see it. Dr. Santos is so caring and personable
