Excel Spinal Health & Rehab

A chiropractic and physical therapy team

Excel Spinal Health & Rehab is on the second floor of the Tasharofi Medical Arts Building at 637 Westfield Avenue, Elizabeth. Chiropractor Jeremy Robinson opened his practice in February 2011. The team also identifies Anthony Tirro, a physical therapist and graduate of Misericordia University. Having both professions at one address gives patients a way to discuss manual chiropractic care and a separate physical therapy program in the same practice.

What happens before booking

Excel's patient information makes a distinction that can save a wasted trip. The office says a physician referral is generally not needed for its chiropractic visits, but it requires one for physical therapy. That is the practice's published policy; it should not be treated as a rule for every office or insurance plan. Appointments are arranged at 908-428-8001, and the office also lists excelspinal@gmail.com.

Its site states that it does not currently accept Medicare or Medicaid plans. Coverage for other plans can vary according to the service and the individual policy. People comparing this office with a practice that lists Medicare should keep that difference in mind when discussing payment.

Location and office hours

Excel publishes Monday through Friday hours of 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and closes Saturday and Sunday. The building carries the 637 Westfield Avenue address; the practice is upstairs rather than at the street-level urgent care office. Its materials are available in Spanish as well as English.

Recent visitors describe a friendly reception team and flexibility in arranging appointments; another specifically mentions Robinson's attentive manner. The public comments cover both chiropractic and physical therapy and reflect individual experiences rather than a promise of clinical results.
