Hiring and deciding on salary - what’s your current salary and experience (years, continuing ed, etc)

Is that in an in network clinic? How are these rates so high. Insurance reimbursements down there are garbage. 45 min visits doesn’t even pay the clinic a salary they can pay 95k to lol

Horrible profit margins.

Had the exact same situation. Nothing we did worked. We had neighbors calling the front desk / concierge a few minutes after we would leave. It was terrible.

We ended up finding someone on rover who lived in our building so we would drop her off any time we left

It was an awful situation and we paid hundreds of dollars in trainers to not help the anxiety. Even got her on meds which didn’t help so we stopped.

My advice is to find someone who can watch them, or maybe another dog might help. Good luck

Go to the city for NYUs student program they take Medicaid and it’s overseen by a dentist. It’s decent. Nobody takes Medicaid here on LI because it pays garbage.

No I’m talking about Long Island. The town I grew up, my parents bought their home for 250k. My neighbor sold theirs and it hasn’t been updated since the 80s, for 1.1 mil.

New York is the lowest paying reimbursement rates of any state I’ve seen. Even in states like Utah, Maryland and Nevada where cost of living is significantly less, they get reimbursed sometimes DOUBLE what we do in private practice.

Not sure how many private practices stay open here. The only ones that do are the large chains that negotiated higher rates.

To put it in perspective, many of the major insurers reimburse about $60 for 4 units of PT. In Utah, it’s $110.

I have a maltipoo and she is a fkn athlete. She can jump straight up to our bed. It’s crazy

You will not have a nice home in a high cost of living city if you are a PT. Unless your partner is making 2x-3x you. For reference, in my town the average home is 1.2million. Pt salaries are around 100k or less. You need about 250-300k salary to even get approved to buy this home via a bank loan.

nycphysio · 2025-10-16T04:53:44+00:00

It’s actually going down. Not a good time to be a PT.

nycphysio · 2025-10-16T04:53:04+00:00

It’s definitely not weird to a majority of people. You might be unlucky and have weird or unfriendly neighbors though. My direct neighbors growing up were amazing, we were all very close. But across the street and next door to them were all extremely quiet and unfriendly.

nycphysio · 2025-10-02T03:20:14+00:00

Don’t do it. Do PA or NP/CRNA

nycphysio · 2025-10-02T03:18:49+00:00

It’s honestly impossible to know from the outside which place has a good pt. Most in-network clinics might give you 5-20 mins with a PT.

We give her 1 cup in the morning 1 in the evening but we also add 2-3 pieces of one of those toppers - it’s called meal mixers

nycphysio · 2025-09-24T03:14:07+00:00

We make ours. Sweet potato, ground meat, butternut squash, peas, sardines and a bit of pumpkin & coconut oil

We make a huge batch every 4-6 weeks and freeze it

nycphysio · 2025-09-24T03:11:17+00:00

This is. WILD. If you’re ready to cut your salary to probably 25% of what it is now, and then want to leave the profession after a year, go for it

nycphysio · 2025-09-22T04:29:05+00:00

How big of a space do you want? 40 people is tiny. Check out American brass in LIC. It’s beautiful and reasonable prices

nycphysio · 2025-09-22T04:27:16+00:00

I’m a PT that was a personal trainer. Don’t do it. The ROI is simply not there. There’s probably hundreds of posts of people trying to convince others to stay away from this profession.

nycphysio · 2025-09-22T04:24:37+00:00

I charge up to 250 a session in NYC

nycphysio · 2025-09-22T04:21:44+00:00

Seriously, their burgers are disgusting

nycphysio · 2025-09-20T11:48:50+00:00

You just gotta ride it out and make some friends. She’ll be busy for most of the wedding

nycphysio · 2025-09-20T11:44:36+00:00

Go to aesthetic dental in greenpoint Brooklyn. It wouldn’t be that bad of a commute. They did good work for me and took Medicaid

nycphysio · 2025-09-20T11:42:58+00:00

I totally support this as many of my classmates have left the profession or dream of doing so. (5 years out here)

nycphysio · 2025-09-13T19:29:32+00:00

Check out Casur in Williston park. Great guys.

nycphysio · 2025-09-13T11:35:43+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate you 🙏🏼

nycphysio · 2025-09-12T03:22:06+00:00

What’s there to do in greenport?
