Went to Coastal Physical Therapy last September for neck pain. Dr. Gary put an exercise program for me and would do manipulation.
My neck pain is gone, and I have a printout of exercises to refer to should I need it. I would definitely recommend Coastal PT.; they are friendly and very knowledgeable.


Catherine DePaul

Gary is an excellent PT who genuinely cares for his patients. My program has quickly helped me recover from TKR and get back to an independent lifestyle. Clean, neat, and bright facility has convenient parking & easy access. PT/patient ratio perfect! Coastal PT stands by their philosophy!


Brian Steinberg

Awesome. Gary is very professional and knowledgeable. He designed a workout for my ankle. Helped tremendously and I now have no pain. Highly recommend.


Gail Karslo

I would highly recommend Gary to anyone. He explains everything in detail and is not only excellent in every phase of recovery. Gary is customer friendly and interacts with everyone as his personality makes you feel comfortable each and every time you interact with him. My total knee replacement feels like new all due to Gary’s efforts on my recovery. I would not hesitate to tell my friends or relatives who may need assistance that Gary would be the person to go to should they ever need his services.


Deb Walsh

I had a great experience at Coastal PT. Very attentive and caring. I didn’t think it was possible to feel good again. So impressed with the results!


Nancy Lobiondo

My experience with Coastal was outstanding and professional. Exceptionally clean and well organized. My goals were met, and I was discharged with a home plan. I highly recommend Coastal Physical Therapy.


Byson Sundberg

Gary was very attentive to my progress. He was able to answer questions related to my injury and recovery. I was continually challenged with the exercise program he designed for me. I highly recommend Coastal Physical Therapy and Gary.


Susan Steinberger

Gary was the best back coach for my lower back problems. He gave me stretches and strengthening exercises that have helped tremendously. Gary also gave me tips on doing these exercises and driving posture tips that worked! I would recommend Coastal PT
This program really helped me.


Anne Michelini

I had an excellent experience at Coastal PT with Dr. Gary.
I had a herniated disk and was able to get moving normally again. Gary takes good care to select the right recovery plans and personalizes it throughout. He then provides excellent follow up exercises. Flexible scheduling and a nice facility all added up to a great experience.


Chris Harris

I highly recommend Coastal PT & Wellness to anyone looking for an exceptionally personalized level of rehab treatment. I saw Gary for 8 weeks, and he created a specific exercise and stretching plan to help me build confidence and improve balance, stability, and strength in my ankle after having surgery. As improvements were made throughout my treatment protocol, Gary modified the exercise program to build off of prior week’s gains and raised the bar higher each time we met. I can confidently say that I left Coastal PT & Wellness better than I was when I walked in the door for my first evaluation. I am 23 and was scared that surgery on my ankle would have drastic and long-lasting impacts, but thanks to this practice, those are no longer concerns!

Coastal PT is a great place if you need physical therapy. Dr. Gary Woerner and his staff really make you feel at home. The facility is super clean & even has that “new car” smell. I went there all summer due to the fact that I had both knees replaced, six weeks apart. My surgeon was very pleased with progress I made and that is in large part due to Dr. Gary. The exercises & the stretching he came up with for me have me feeling great and ready to go back to work. I can`t thank Gary and his family at Coastal enough for getting me back in shape & healing up from these major surgeries. They made me feel like family from my first visit. I would strongly recommend Coastal PT to anyone who needs physical therapy. You`ll really love it there, like I did!!

Barbara Trofe

My experience at Coastal was exceptional! Gary Woener is very knowledgeable, compassionate and thorough. Without his expertise, I wouldn’t have recovered as well as I did from a broken hip complicated by a drop foot condition. I thoroughly enjoy going to therapy and look forward to continuing working with him. The facility is clean and pleasant also. Great experience!


Brian Steinberg

Cathy Bigelow

Gary is one of the best physical therapists I’ve ever worked with! He’s very knowledgeable and takes a true interest in each of his patients. He has helped myself and my husband manage chronic back pain and treat various sports related injuries. Gary was even able to help with my mobility during pregnancy. I feel so lucky to have found a PT that truly wants the best for me!


Mariele Ford

I was suffering for months with back pain. Various doctors could not give me answers. I could not even walk at times. I went to Gary and he did a thorough evaluation and located the exact location of my pain. He had me do a few stretches and then I felt a pop in my back. The pain was gone. I could not believe it. Gary explained what was happening to my muscles and gave me exercises to perform to help in the future. I still am pain free months later.

The facility is extremely clean and welcoming. The machines are impressive. I highly recommend everyone to go here.


Concha Alborg PHD

I had Physical Therapy at Coastal PT & Wellness this summer and it was a great experience. The place and facilities are immaculate. Gary Woerner is professional, pleasant and always prepared. He wrote up reports for my doctor, gave me at home exercises and measured my progress. The sessions were always an hour long each, and I improved considerably in six weeks. I’m in Brigantine for the summer only and I plan to go back if I need PT again next year. This practice is the perfect combination of small-town charm and big city facilities. I recommend it without any reservation.


Eileen Connolly-Robbins
Gary’s personal attention raises Coastal above other therapy companies. Also, the service area is clean, well-organized and you are not too close to other patients. I will definitely recommend Coastal. It is a welcoming environment.


Michelle Verceles

Gary Woerner, DPT treated my 9-year-old daughter after a skiing accident in 2022. She broke her tibia and needed to strengthen her muscles after being casted for several months. Gary kept her attention for the full hour. He developed games and engaging activities to help her stay focused during her rehab. He sent her home with stretches and exercises so she could keep up with her training. My daughter had a smile and was enthusiastic about her training with Gary. We feel so fortunate and appreciative that Gary was able to give our daughter the training to help our daughter resume sports in the fall of that year. Gary was always on time, professional, developed a treatment plan, and took the time to explain and teach the exercises.


Roseann McGrath

My father, who has Alzheimer’s, received amazing care from Gary regarding his physical therapy. Gary and his staff were very compassionate, caring, and patient. We highly recommend Gary and his team for any needs you may have.


Kevin

Gary is the best! My shoulder was horrible. Couldn’t even sleep. He listens to his patients. Figured out how to help me and now I’m better than ever. Couldn’t recommend Coastal more. Gary is great. Facility is beautiful.


Marianne Ford

Gary Woerner is the best PT I have ever worked with. He really cares about each patient. He takes the time to make sure you are doing everything properly. He saved me from two knee replacements. I never thought PT would eliminate surgery but it did!! I gained so much strength that the pain disappeared. I love the new facility.
