I have just begun physical therapy with Swapnali At StarPro Following my surgery for a spinal fusion and laminectomy. She is very excellent. She assessed the situation and is going slowly and easily but I already feel stronger and more confident about my recovery. She has given me exercises to do at home, which are quite within my powers. I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with her care and expertise.
Dr. Swapnali Shinde was fantastic. She listened to me and gave me a lot of clear information and recommendations throughout the session. I'm really glad I came and look forward to coming back!

Dr. Shinde was very kind and helpful. I was seen right away. I had a lot of questions and she answered all of them. The only thing that bothered me was that I felt like I had to ask for her to explain everything instead of her volunteering the information.
Swapnali was really kind, understanding and eager to help. I feel confident that she and her team will be able to heal an ailment that I've struggled with for years!
