Over the last 10 years I have visited the Physical Therapy staff at SSM Hlth serval times. My experiences were always okay with minimal progress. When Dr Ulgen suggested that I try physical therapy again for my knee, I agreed and made an appointment with Michael. This is the first time that I have worked with Michael, and I was impressed with his listening skills and problem-solving abilities. Based on the strengthening routine Michael suggested I could tell he understood the problem and the suggested strengthening routine focused on how help me make corrections to my knee. He walked me through each exercise explaining what each exercise was helping to correct. I have continued to use Michael exercise suggestions and can tell my knee has made improvements. Hang on to Michael Besley, he is very good at his job.

My visit with Michael was great. He actually listens to what I'm saying and provides good understandable information. Demonstrates and then mirrors exercises when appropriate. He always gives me ample time to ask questions and get clarification.

I would not want to lose Michael Besley as my physical therapist. He has my trust and that is the major experience every health providerr should have with their patients.

Michael Besley is absolutely the best. He clearly explains the exercises he wants me to work on and helps with an alternative if need be. Most importantly he listens to my concerns and I truly believe he cares.
