UPDATE: JANUARY 20, 2021

​

Our #1 priority continues to be the safety of our patients and staff.  We are continually implementing new safety precautions above and beyond the CDC guidelines, including:

​

• Air sterilizer on heating and air conditioning system

• Independent HEPA Air Purifier covering the entire facility space

• Privacy curtains between each treatment table

• Vaccinations for all eligible employees

​​

Please call our office with any questions - (973) 366-1600.

​

UPDATE: MAY 5, 2020

​

Many patients are reaching out to us to restart their in-office care, and of course there are many questions on how our office procedures have changed.

 

In addition to following all recommended guidelines, we are taking every precaution to ensure the safety of our patients and staff.  Check out this video, where Dan Streeter gives you a tour of the office and reviews all the preventative measures we have in place.

​

UPDATE: MARCH 22, 2020

​

Following Governor Murphy’s directive, Carroll PT will remain open to provide essential rehabilitative services, such as to patients in pain or recovering from surgery or injury. We will be taking extra precautions to safeguard our patients and staff, including screening for COVID-19 symptoms and asking everyone to wash or sanitizer their hands upon entering the facility.  We will also be operating with a reduced on-site physical therapy staff and our administrative staff will be working remotely to allow for social distancing and to comply with the Governor’s mandate.

​

In addition to in-person appointments, we are also offering TeleHealth appointments as a secondary option to patients who can benefit from this service.

​

If you have any questions or concerns, please call our office at (973) 366-1600. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to continue to offer rehabilitative services to our community, while also safeguarding or patients and staff.

​

​

UPDATE: MARCH 18, 2020

​

Amid COVID-19 concerns, we have received many inquiries for TeleHealth appointments over the past few days.

 

As we continue to find ways to best meet the rehabilitation needs of our patients during this time, we are now offering TeleHealth services as an alternative to in-person appointments.  TeleHealth can be a valuable tool to:

• Help assess your current state and prescribe appropriate home exercises and self-management tools to meet your needs

• Discuss any new and evolving orthopedic issues

• Help ensure that you are doing your home exercise program correctly

 

TeleHealth services give patients the ability to continue their prescribed plan of care through virtual sessions with their physical therapist from the safety of their own home.  Although TeleHealth is not meant to be a replacement for hands-on physical therapy, it is a safe secondary option during this time of uncertainty. Additionally, many insurance providers are providing in-network TeleHealth coverage - some at no cost to you.

 

If you are interested in transitioning to TeleHealth appointments, please call our office to learn more.  Our staff can determine if you are a good candidate for this option and also verify your insurance benefits.

​

UPDATE: MARCH 15, 2020

​

We are closely monitoring COVID-19 developments, and are continuously updating our policies as we receive more information during this unprecedented time.

 

We have consulted with the CDC, state and local health officials, and other medical professionals in the area.  Based on the information we have gathered, we have decided it is necessary to take further precautions to protect our most vulnerable patients.

 

In addition to the original guidelines, we are now temporarily suspending treatment for the following high risk populations:

 

• Patients over 80 years of age

• Patients over 60 years of age who have diabetes and/or high blood pressure

• Patients over 45 who are immunocompromised or have pulmonary disease

 

If you meet any of the above criteria, please call our office to temporarily suspend your appointments.  We are actively reviewing all patient medical history, and will also call any patients we know to fit any of the above criteria.

 

Please understand that these precautions are for your safety.  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this difficult time.  

 

Please call our office with any questions (973) 366-1600.
