“I recently went on the hunt for a PT who would work with me 1:1 without passing me off to a tech, due to my complex ortho issues. I found Brian and won’t turn back! This is a new clinic with many treatment options. Brian and his wife are doing a fabulous job and he truly helped me out even after hours via text due to some issues I’ve been having post surgery. Brian is very kind and upfront which is hard to find. This place is a gem and although the drive is a bit far for me, it’s completely worth it.”

He’s a great PT! Gives you clear instructions on how to help your injury and it’s a nice facility combined with a gym.

They do not have accurate appointment availability on ZocDoc. I booked two virtual visits, and their office canceled both on the scheduled days.

I ended up having my appointment with Rachel and I am really happy with her as my provider! She was really clear on what she thought was causing me pain and gave me a good set of exercises to try. She was very friendly and professional
Verified patient
Overall experience was perfect! The doctor was great, was able to help me understand where my back pain was coming from and how the exercises would benefit my back pain.
Verified patient
Great therapist! He took the time to do a thorough evaluation of my condition and the care plan has provided excellent results. My condition has improved significantly and I couldn’t be happier with the treatment or services provided by this practice. They are super easy to work with!
Brian was very welcoming and attentive to my concerns. Place looks awesome. Will definitely be visiting often and recommending it to friends and family.
