“Ben Kraus was my physical therapist both before and after hip replacement surgery. You really can't ask for a better therapist than Ben. He's smart and attentive. He's a task master, but with a sense of humor. He listens well and works tirelessly to solve you problems, which in my case meant thinking differently than the orthopedists who initially misdiagnosed the issue. He multitasks and keep an eye on everything around him. At the end of the day, he actually made rehab enjoyable. Really, I can't speak highly enough of Ben and I recommend him without reservation.”

From the first eval until my discharge, Ben was consistently thorough, empathetic, and willing to educate me about my rehab, enabling me to feel like an active participant in my recovery. His expertise in sports-related injures not only guided me to regain full daily functionality, but I was able to run my first marathon too.

I have been a patient of Benjamin's for a variety of muscolo-skeletal issues for several years (on and off). Benjamin provides excellent physical therapy being sure to continue to challenge me to best address the injuries at hand while at same time being mindful to ensure the exercises does not create any pain during and after the session. Benjamin is always positive in his approach and a good listener. He encourages me to look past the pain and see the progress and is patient, caring and informative.

My appointments with Ben are the highlight of the week. Being injured, no matter to what degree, is never fun or ideal. Ben, however, has made the recovery process as enjoyable as possible. During the workouts, he pushes me further than I could on my own - which I am sure is aiding my recovery.

Benjamin has been fantastic to work with. He has helped me strengthen my involved knee and prepare to return to sport by taking me through an individualized progression of exercises that pushed me to grow. He has made physical therapy something I look forward to and enjoy going to. It is obvious that he genuinely cares about his patients and helping them to heal and get stronger. He is incredibly flexible in terms of scheduling and always worked around my schedule to make sure I could get in.

All my visits with Ben have been great. He has been incredibly supportive, and determined to help me with the pain I've been having, which I'm glad to say has been improving. I would recommend him to anyone who may need PT.

Ben was very helpful in building my shoulder and getting my mind and body back to the point where I felt comfortable participating in contact sports again. Ben was great in that he focused on the specific movements which I was afraid of given my shoulder instability. He listened to my feedback carefully and tailored his therapy accordingly.
