FAQ
Common Questions
Do you accept insurance? +
We are a private pay practice. This allows us to provide genuinely one-on-one, personalized care without the limitations imposed by insurance companies. Many clients find that the quality and speed of recovery more than offsets the difference in cost.
How much does it cost? +
Every condition is different — your history, your goals, and how long you've been in pain all shape your plan. We offer a single session to get started, plus structured packages of 8, 12, or 16 sessions for clients ready to commit to lasting results. We don't list prices publicly, but we'll walk you through everything on your free consultation — no pressure, no surprises. Many clients also use HSA/FSA funds or out-of-network benefits.
What is a Free Consultation? +
It's a no-cost, no-commitment 20-minute conversation — by phone or text — where Dr. Tabares learns about your condition, goals, and history. It helps you decide if we're the right fit before you commit to anything.
Where do sessions take place? +
We come to you. Sessions can be held at your home, your gym, or your workplace — anywhere in Pinecrest, Westchester, Palmetto Bay, South Miami, Coral Gables, or Coconut Grove.
What is dry needling and is it painful? +
Dry needling uses very thin monofilament needles inserted into trigger points in muscles to release tension and reduce pain. Most clients feel a brief twitch sensation or mild aching during the procedure, which is typically followed by significant relief. It is not the same as acupuncture — it is rooted in anatomy and neuroscience.
Do you treat vertigo and dizziness? +
Yes — Dr. Tabares is trained in vestibular rehabilitation, including the Epley maneuver and other repositioning techniques for BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), as well as vestibular exercises for chronic dizziness and balance issues. Many patients see significant improvement within just 1–3 sessions.
Do I need a doctor's referral? +
In Florida, you can see a physical therapist directly without a physician's referral for initial evaluation and 30 days of treatment (Direct Access). In most cases, no referral is needed to get started.
How is concierge PT different from a traditional PT clinic? +
At a traditional PT clinic, you're often seen by a different therapist each visit, sessions are shared with other patients, and your actual hands-on time with a licensed PT may be as little as 10–15 minutes. With concierge PT, every session is 100% one-on-one with Dr. Tabares — no aides, no double-booking, no waiting room. We come to your home, gym, or workplace, so there's no commute and no disruption to your day. The result is faster progress, better outcomes, and a care experience that fits your life.
