I’ve had 6 right knee surgeries so far and I’ve been impressed with my physical therapist’s tenacity, empathy, skill, knowledge, helpfulness, dependability and willingness to research any problem relating to PT I encountered. Her personality was caring and positive and she was extremely resourceful.

I could not have done this without their help. Highly recommend to anyone.
