The staff is very kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Matt & Justin cater to the patient's situation and adjust the treatment as needed. They can easily take over the session for the other seamlessly if need be. The facility is very clean and well kept, I am glad to have gone here for my work injury therapy. I was able to go through 80~85% of my day with full duty work as a COTA with no pain thanks to their care. If I ever need PT again, I'm definitely going to come here first.
Response from the owner:Sobhana, we appreciate the positive feedback and are glad to hear you had a great experience. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're happy we were able to meet your expectations.
