About Us

Payment

  At KGD-Studio payment is due in full at the beginning of each  session.  We in turn, provide a detailed invoice for you to submit to  your health insurance carrier.   For your convenience, we accept credit cards.  We suggest that you contact your health insurance carrier before your first visit and use our Patient Insurance  Worksheet.  It is provided as a checklist to ensure you ask the right  questions. It is your responsibility to understand your health insurance coverage, know how to get reimbursed and at what level.

Prescriptions/Referral

 Please bring with you a current prescription from your New York state  licensed physician or nurse practitioner. Even though, NY state has  direct assess to physical therapy and the law provides a for a limited  number of sessions (10 or a period of 30 days) before a prescription is  required, your insurance company will likely require a prescription  before they provide coverage. If you are a Medicare patient, you are  also required to return to your physician every 60 days to renew your  prescription for physical therapy.

What to Expect

 A session at KGD-PT typically lasts for one-hour. After your initial  evaluation, each follow-up visit will begin with a brief reassessment by  Karen followed by manual care and guided exercises.

 "I  have been working with Karen for close to four years and she has  changed the way I view the physical therapy world as a whole. I was born  with a neurological condition that effects certain areas of my body  more so than others.
 

           Throughout my life I have been to numerous physical  therapists and noticed that the majority of them did not know what to do  with me after I was not 'cured' within ten or so sessions. I actually  found Karen because I was looking to get into pilates to maintain  strength in my good muscles. I quickly found out that Karen was a  physical therapist as well! The combination of physical therapy and  pilates is wonderful. We can work on maintaining strength but if I am  having pain in a particular area she is also able to assess and treat  the problem.
 

           Needless to say she did not get rid of me after she couldn't  'cure' me in ten sessions! She understood my condition and knew the  best course of action to take. She is a skilled physical therapist, an  experienced pilates instructor, and a wonderful person to be around. I  would recommend her to everyone!"
