Near Work and Play

Whether it’s in the heart of midtown, the historic Murray Hill district, the brownstones of the Upper Westside or the trendy storefronts of the Upper Eastside, Premier PT clinics are all strategically located in hotspots throughout Manhattan. We are close to public transportation, popular restaurants, and major shopping areas. Our newest clinic at Dey St. is at the center of the financial district which is making a great come back. We are proud to be one of the businesses helping to bring lower Manhattan back to life. Our Westchester County and Southern Connecticut clinics are also centrally located in downtown areas walkable to local cafés and other services. All of our 13 clinics are in convenient neighborhoods well-situated for the up and coming PT.

Scheduling Flexibility

As a Premier PT, you would be working at least two evenings per week, which means you’ll be able to sleep in a few days and hit the gym before coming in to work. On the other days, you’ll come in early and will be able to leave earlier in the day, to hit the gym again, or get home in time to prepare a tasty gourmet dinner for your friends or family. If you need to catch up on documentation, you’ll have the option for remote access from your home so you can finish up a patient file while checking Facebook. The flexible schedule provides the best of both worlds and gives you enough time outside of the office to get your life organized!

Mentorship

Your experience at Premier will include a transition period of mentorship, where you’ll be oriented to office policies and procedures have time to integrate yourself into the practice, practice manual therapy techniques, post-surgical protocols, sports progressions and meet with your clinic director for one-on-one mentorship meetings. This will also be a great time for you to get acclimated to the ever changing world of medical billing and insurance documentation. Also, clinics hold weekly in-services where PTs are able to bring back and share what they’ve learned at Continuing Ed courses, or a staff member leads a session on recent research or other topics. Whether you’re a new grad or a PT with a few years’ experience under your belt, our mentorship program and ongoing training is one of the top reasons to join the Premier team.

Variety

We’re an outpatient private practice that sees a vast caseload of patients. You’ll get experience in sports physical therapy, orthopedics physical therapy, manual therapy, some vestibular and neurologic physical therapy and pediatrics if you’re interested. As you progress in your career and hone in the areas you’d like to specialize in, you’ll have opportunity and support to seek certifications as an Orthopedic Certified Specialist. Therapists work one on one with patients and are right there with patients through progress and successes. Our patients expect a high quality of care, and our PTs are challenged and trained to meet these high expectations. As Sinatra (and Jay-Z) put it, if you can make it here, you’ll make it anywhere!

Team Premier

Our therapists works together in small and medium size teams. The environment we have is very much collaborative, creative, and open. PTs work closely with the front desk staff to provide the best health services possible to patients. We work with local student PTs and school PT programs and are fortunate to give back to the field and participate in the training of future PTs. We sponsor local charitable organizations like Crutches4kids.org and are involved in supporting our community. Premier PT has a strong team environment which promotes a good work experience for our staff, and we are ready to take on and adjust to the changing landscape of healthcare.
