I've only had one session, and this is the only physical therapy I've ever done, but I can't imagine someone conducting it any better. I waited six days to write this review, and I've noticed improvement. We'll see how it goes.

She is very knowledgable. I have been to OTs over the years with my PSA. She is one of the best. I am delighted that she is in Evanston and so easily accessible.

Melissa is excellent. It's very clear that she cares. She clearly explained the rehab process and why my it needed to be design the way it was. Even when I wanted a modification, she was generous to accommodate and make the appropriate changes. I trust her to get me back to competitive athletic activity after my surgery.

She was confident and took all the care needed with making my splint in addition to giving me instructions to care for it.

SHE DOES NOT TREAT ME JUST AS ANOTHER PATIENT. I FEEL THAT SHE REALLY WANTS AND ENCOURAGES ME TO DO MY THERAPY SO THAT I GET COMPLETLY HEALED.

Melissa is very professional and obviously highly competent in her job. She is patient and attentive to the personal needs of my case. She has provided excellent feedback to my questions and helps create, what I perceive to be, a very positive healing environment.
