"Dr. Mark Pacchiano is amazing. After TKR I was not only physically impaired but also a bit depressed. Dr. Mark assured me everything would be ok and he was extremely encouraging. He knew all his patients needs and it was remarkable seeing him in action with the other patients as well. It is bittersweet now that I have finished physical therapy. I will miss Dr. Mark, Gwen, and my little Lorraine. Thank you all for your part in helping me mend."

"This is unlike other therapy places! I have been through a lot since my injury...I could not even walk and had many ups and downs. I was very discouraged. I began at Core PT and I am so glad I did. The entire staff is amazing and there is such a contagious, positive energy. In just the past few weeks, I not only feel a lot better, but I have learned ways to push myself. I won't ever say "I can't" do something again. Thanks for the education, motivation, and the one on one attention you give to all your patients ...can't wait to see all the great things this year will bring!"

"Mark is a wonder. He rehabbed my double knee replacements ten years ago and helped me avoid a second corrective surgery. My husband had lost 90% range of movement in his right arm, due to a disc problem in his neck. Although the doctor privately thought Dean would never get more than 25% range of movement back post surgery, Mark worked with him, and, to the doctor's surprise, Dean regained the 90%.
I am currently seeing Mark for a back injury and am markedly improved in just three weeks."

"I walked around in pain for years after a automobile accident. I had a 2 level cervical fusion which limited my ROM. I also had a lumbar laminectomy. I was convinced after several attempts with epidural injections, nerve blockers, medial branch blockers and burning of the nerves this pain would be my life. I spent hours at another physical therapy office only for my pain to increase. I am very blessed to have been introduced by my acupuncturist to Dr. Mark. It’s a whole new world. I never wanted to attend PT. Now as I leave I look forward to returning for another session. Dr. Mark has a totally different approach and it works. I have a long way to go but I know I am in the best hands possible. Not to mention his staff is caring and considerate to each patient. The office secretary Gwen is totally accommodating to each patients schedule. She runs a tight ship. I give Core PT a 5 plus. There isn’t any other place I would rather be. Thank you Dr Mark."

"I don’t know what I would do without Dr. Mark. He is an absolute lifesaver! Anytime I or one of my family members is injured, he is the person we go to immediately. With three boys playing ice hockey, he has treated them all & helped them through injuries. He is caring, kind, and a great listener. My father-in-law, Dr. John Prue, thinks Dr. Mark is one of the most dedicated, Knowledgeable professionals he’s ever meet."

"Dr. Mark is cool and helped me recover from spinal surgery quickly. He helped get back on the basketball court and educated me on my surgery and rehab process! He always takes time to answer all my questions or address my concerns! His staff is great and provide a extremely friendly atmosphere! I highly recommend Core Physical Therapy for all your pt needs!

"First, there aren't enough stars to rate Core PT but since 5 is the highest we shall go with that. Core PT is unlike any other PT center. At Core you will experience a FAMILY like atmosphere. It feels like your rehabbing at home instead of a Drs office. Dr Mark pushes you in ways that you thought you can't and because of that you are more willing and able to do things at a faster pace. When I went for my follow up with my orthopedic after 5 wks of removing my left arm sling IÂ was able to show him that I was able to get my arm up to 165 degrees of rotation. He was taken back and stated to me " Wow we normally see this fast improvement in people a lot younger. You are way ahead of schedule". I owe all of this to Dr Mark. Thank you for not only being my physical therapist but a friend who truly cares for my well being and wants to see me succeed."

"My daughter who is a competitive swimmer faced certain shoulder surgery before we discovered Dr. Mark. After his evaluation, he recommended therapy and a shoulder strengthening regimen. Since her first visit she has continued swimming and has qualified for numerous National level meets as well as being named an Advance AllStar two years in a row. I hate to think where my daughter would be if not for his talents. His expertise, caring, dedication and knowledge is unsurpassed. I highly recommend Dr. Mark and the staff at Core."
