“Tula is a great place for physical therapy. Anders at the front desk is helpful and knowledgeable. I feel fortunate to have Heather Mimms working with me again this year after a different surgery She is well educated in her field. She was my physical therapist last year and correctly diagnosed that my surgery wasn’t working and referred me to an excellent podiatrist. ”
