Staff was great! All of them. Great at getting me back in shape and also showed compassion when I needed it. I really appreciated that, as I started therapy just 6 weeks after I lost my husband. They helped me get through some rough days.

Donny makes going to physical therapy a pleasant experience. He's good with people, he's very good at teaching patients how to use physical therapy as an asset to recovery. He can handle multiple patients and you still feel like you're getting one on one attention.

The staff at this facility were amazing! Dana was always friendly and personable. She was always willing to work with you on scheduling time slots that were most convenient for me. I am truly grateful for having Donnie as a PT. He went above and beyond from the very first day. He is knowledgable, caring, and positive. He helped me get my health back after an unfortunate turn of events with my first surgery. I would highly recommend this facility.
