Sam has been such a crucial component to my rehab after a knee injury that has taken me away from the sport I love, running. She created an individualized plan for me, and was knowledgeable of the evidence based techniques, making me feel that I was getting the best care possible. I highly recommend her to any of my friends/family.

Sam is incredible at her job. She made me feel seen and developed a treatment plan that was specific to my goals and desires. I felt like I was a part of my entire rehab journey rather than just being told what to do. She cares deeply for her patients and is incredibly skilled. I could not recommend Sam enough!

Samantha was professional, knowledgeable and positive attitude. She started treating me when she was doing her Clinical rotation at PMST and then after being hired FT, she continued to treat me. Samantha walked me through the treatment plan and key areas of the rehab. She is always so positive but firm on what I need to do. Since I have had multiple injuries and surgeries, she is one of the best PT’s I have had treating me.
