Better Outcomes: At Kipnis PT, our philosophy is that educated patients will achieve better outcomes. Research shows that quality assurance programs combined with patient education increase patient compliance and improve outcomes. The best therapy providers follow quality assurance programs that measure and report the results.

• At Kipnis Physical Therapy, after the initial evaluation, patients receive a detailed explanation summarizing their recommended treatment program. Emphasis is placed on issues that affect pain management, speed of recovery, and restoring maximum function.
• Although patients no longer need a perscription from their doctor to begin physical therapy services, Kipnis highly believes that coordinating care with the patient’s physicians is still the best care for our patients. So, Kipnis will send copies of all your reports to your doctors and will correspond with them on your behalf.
• Upon completion of care, Kipnis PT and OT patients are surveyed to assure consistency and quality within the physical therapy profession. This provides important data on patient outcomes and patient satisfaction.
• Kipnis PT is a member of the the Hospital For Special Surgery Rehab Network, which was rated the #1 Hospital in the country for Orthopaedics and Rheumatology. The practice owner, Ilena Kipnis, PT, DPT, has served on this board for over 10 years.  

Quality Assurance: Kipnis PT provides care best suited to patients, NOT insurance companies. Many PT providers set up their practice to minimize costs in response to the continued pressure from insurance companies. One of the most common industry-wide reactions to this pressure is to reduce the services provided.  Kipnis PT recognizes that this can greatly impact the quality of care and the patient experience. 

• The Policy at Kipnis PT is that we do everything possible to ensure patients complete their program. Our friendly staff will exert every effort to schedule you with the same clinicians at each visit.
• Kipnis PT provides all the PT/OT services needed within each visit, regardless of whether those services are covered by insurance. And, we do not bill the patient for those services. Examples are massage and hot packs and cold packs that are not covered by many insurance plans, but most to all patients still receive those treatments.  
• At Kipnis PT, waiting is viewed as a major inconvenience - unacceptable to you and to us. Time spent in the reception area shouldn’t exceed 5 minutes, except in rare situations. We view your time as valuable.

Continuing Therapist Training and Education: Therapists in the state of New Jersey are required by the state licensing board to meet certain criteria to be eligible for continued licensure. This criteria includes 16 hours of continuing education per year. If a therapist is scraping by with the bare minimum, it tells you a bit about their commitment to the profession. You should ask yourself, "Do you want a team of therapists that meet only minimum requirements?"

• At Kipnis Physical Therapy, all our clinical and administrative staff are required to take 32 hours per year of ongoing continuing education courses. The New Jersey State Board Of Licensing only requires 16 hours, but at Kipnis PT we feel that 16 hours is only the bare minimum. These courses are paid for by Kipnis PT and many are provided on-site to allow even more opportunity for our staff to be on the cutting edge of new therapies as they become available.
• Today, with more options than ever for patients to choose from a variety of physical therapists with diverse specialties and training, Kipnis PT advocates patient selection of their physical therapy provider. In many cases, patients can begin care or seek consultation without waiting for a referral. Choosing a therapist based on convenience and location only has become a thing of the past. However, it is our policy to collaborate with a patient’s physician about his or her care.
