Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation - West Orange

Wonderful facility, exceptional clinical personal, astute physicians that are available 24/7 to use their critical thinking in decision making timely and act immediately in emergency situations pertaining to patient conditions to resolve symptomatology in order to keep patient stable. Physical therapists interact with families daily via video platform to demonstrate exercises while the patient preforms them. CNAs at the bedside at all times if needed. Managed my 94 years old grandfather after complex hospital stay and discharged him in excellent shape home.Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Kessler Institute Staff!

I've moved over from England to usa in 2010 and I had the pleasure of working at kessler as an RA on spinal cord unit with wonderfull patients and all staff were / are amaizing . Unfortunatly had to give it up due to personal reasons. Continue to do an amaizing job xxxxx

This is explicitly regarding the physical therapist I worked with. Their OT and CRP are fine. PT however is a disaster. The therapist treated me horribly and when I asked to switch I was told that it wouldn’t happen and if I’m unhappy maybe a sign that I’ve reached the max that I can in therapy. Great job blaming the patient! I have to say, after the great experience I had in their satellite location this was a true disappointment.

I was sent here late 1999, after I wasn't getting what I needed in Washington, D.C., shortly after my neck being broken at C5C6, as a result of a motor vehicle incident. I was flown there by private jet on a ventelator, only able to move my head side to side, using sip and puff controls for most of all things DME related, with my blood pressure always dropping down in the 60's, not to mention the terrible blackouts and seizures that were so intense, that I would track of the sense of time. Dr. Kirshbloom was my over seeing doctor at the time, as he paid great attention to details concerning my health in recovery and my concerns in regards to what solutions were available and my best options moving forward proactively. I was discharged in late 2000, no longer having seizures or blackouts, ventilator free, moving my arms and able to pinch with my left hand, due to a surgery that pulled my tendons tight, as it had me looking like Edward Sisscor Hands for a few months...lol! Do they still serve Baked Zitti and Flank Steak...the weekend social food...lol! Oh...and the cranberry juice was everything! It was awesome to go on the outting, which was my first time going to a professional foot ball game, as I also learned that New York had two football teams. I met a lot of great people their as patients, family members, and staff and I no longer do that I slapped my self happy in the face thing anymore I experienced in learning to use my arms again...lol!
