Patient Reviews
Karena is great. She has two other PTs in her group (Anna and Valerie) who are also very good. I like mixing it up and scheduling appointments with all 3 of them, since they all have a bit of a different approach. Because it's a small office, I tend to have more 1-1 time with the PT there than in any other office I've been to (about 1/2 the session is directly 1-1). The other 1/2 is supervised exercises, icing, and stretching. I also like the exercises. They're mostly Pilates, which I think rehabs me better than the gym-like exercises I've done elsewhere. Can't go wrong here!
Karena showed me excellent treatment with personal care. Her staff is equally trained with knowledge and professionalism.
Amazing group of people. Not only are they doing a great job with the knee issue that brought me in, but they've given me a lot of tips to assist with further preventing further injury. Every step of the way, from billing to booking appts (the auto-reminder emails are great) to the very experienced PTs is helping me get back to a pain free existence.
