Before you arrive

Insurance verified first - no billing surprises.

Two different questions, answered in two places: which plan covers your care, and what happens if you were hurt in an accident or at work.

Insurance we accept

  • Medicare
  • Aetna
  • UnitedHealthcare
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield
  • Cigna
  • Your plan - confirm

Don't see your plan? Call anyway - we verify your benefits before your first appointment so you know exactly what you'll pay.

Hurt in an accident or at work?

No-Fault In a car accident?

New York No-Fault covers your physical therapy regardless of who was at fault. Bring your claim number - we bill the auto carrier directly.

Workers' Comp Hurt on the job?

Report the injury to your employer, then call us. We handle the authorizations and paperwork so you can focus on recovering.

Confirm with Dr. Iftikhar: that the practice directly bills No-Fault and manages Workers' Comp authorizations before launch.

Your first visit, step by step

What happens, and what you can count on.

  1. Your insurance is verified before you arrive - no surprises at the front desk.

  2. You're evaluated by Dr. Iftikhar himself - one-on-one, not handed to an aide.

  3. You leave with a measurable plan and clear milestones, not a guess.

  4. You'll get a text reminder before every appointment so nothing slips.

Doctor of Physical Therapy · Practice owner

This is a solo practice, and that's the point. At a six-clinic chain you get whoever's on shift. Here, every session is with Dr. Iftikhar - the same hands, the same plan, the same person tracking your progress from first visit to last.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, a car accident, a work injury, or the back pain that's been building for months, you'll get a one-on-one evaluation and a plan built around how you move and what you need to get back to.

★★★★★

The team at FAAST Physical Therapy has been treating my father for over 1 year now and he finds it very helpful for pain in his legs. I also recently sprained my ankle and they have helped in getting the swelling and pain down. They advised me on the trigger points to work on at home, which I had no idea about before I went to them.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need a referral to start?

No. You can begin treatment without a referral. Some insurance plans require one for coverage, so we verify yours before your first visit. (Confirm the no-referral policy with Dr. Iftikhar.)

How long is each appointment?

Plan on 45-60 minutes, one-on-one with your therapist. You won't be passed between aides or left on a machine.

What should I wear?

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes you can move in. Shorts for knee or leg issues, a tank top for shoulder or neck work.

What insurance do you take?

Most major commercial plans, plus Medicare, No-Fault, and Workers' Comp. Don't see yours? Call (516) 789-6322 and we'll verify it for you.
