Noha is very friendly and professional. She explains everything in words that are easy to understand and makes sure you don't have any other questions before you leave. She is very caring and suggests different exercises or tips you can follow throughout your normal days.

Noha Elfer's encouragement and positivity continues to be an important part of my successful recovery after a fall requiring emergency elbow surgery during extremely difficult times (a pandemic and lockdown). I continue to build strength, increase range of motion and regain functionality.

I am seeing Noha for a hand injury and I cannot say enough about how wonderful and professional she is. She is very patient & knowledgable in her field. She takes the time to answer any questions & fully explains everything clearly. She is also quite compassionate & understanding her patients concerns & pain. I highly recommend anyone needing OT for the hands, wrist, elbow or shoulders to put their trust in her care. You'll be glad you did.

I made an excellent choice when I chose hand in hand/Noha. I couldn't even write when I first came to her! She has magic hands and is also a professionally lovely person. I'm amazed with my progress.

Noha is extremely knowledgeable. She was able to tell that I had a torn ligament before my doctor had any suspicions about it. She is very hands on and you can tell she has a passion for what she does. Will absolutely be coming to her and sending friends and family to her for any occupational therapy needs.

I became a client of Noha's after I broke my wrist in a car accident. She was so knowledgeable and so friendly in her approach to my healing. She was always on time for our sessions and I never had to wait. She also limits the number of clients she sees at a time, so you get plenty of one on one time to ensure you're progressing nicely and to answer any of your questions. I highly recommend Noha if you are recovering from any sort of hand injury!
