PT for the first time in my life! Wasn’t sure what to expect or how it would help. Fast forward six weeks and I am feeling so much better. When I asked questions or wanted to understand something about the workout, Uziel was willing to explain. So it wasn’t just about the exercise, it was also a learning experience. Marisa provided education down to the very end! I really appreciated their friendly nature and their willingness to share their knowledge.

I would not at all recommend this location, especially for our youth! The workers here aren’t friendly or attentive. They give you an instruction and leave you be while carrying on with co worker conversations. This was very alarming for the fact that the therapy wasn’t for me as an adult but for my teen child. The oversight is needed for the youth. Especially to ensure that they are performing the tasks correctly and not further causing hard. There is no real care or attention paid to the patients. This seems to be a reoccurring complaint at this location that isn’t being rectified. I definitely will not be returning or recommending.

Went to this place looking to treat my chronic pain. I was hoping that I would find a physical therapist that would help guide me with my rehabilitation exercises, instead the therapist would only give me a brief explanation of the exercise and then walk off to go on their computer and talk with their coworkers. I often did the exercises wrong because the therapist didn't care to properly teach me how to do them. You were also expected to constantly let them know when you were finished with the exercises as they would be on their computers or talking with other coworkers. Each therapist is also juggling 2-3 people at a time so you also have to wait for the therapist to attend the other people. The only time the therapist came to me was at the end to let me know my time was up. I probably only spent 5 minutes talking with the therapist in the hour I was there. If you're looking for a therapist to guide you through your exercises then this place isn't it. All they care about is cramming as many people as they can into a small gym.

Commonly Asked Questions & What to Expect During Your PT Treatment

Do I need to see a doctor first?

Thanks to direct access, we can see any patient without a referral from a doctor for an initial evaluation. If our therapists believe that physical therapy is a good option for your needs, we can work with you and your physician to obtain a prescription for continued care. If your diagnosis requires additional expertise, we can also refer you to a specialist to handle your care.

What do I need to bring to my first visit?

For your first visit, be sure to bring the following items:

  • Prescription for physical therapy from your referring physician (if applicable)
  • Government issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license)
  • Insurance card(s)
  • Patient forms, which can be downloaded from this site in PDF format. Print and fill out the forms completely and bring them during your first visit.
  • Patients who are minors (under 18 years of age) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for their first visit.

What should I wear to physical therapy?

Please wear or bring comfortable athletic/workout clothing to change into. This includes shorts or sweatpants, a t-shirt and sneakers. Your attire should also allow easy access to your injured area for treatment by your physical therapist.

What can I expect during my first visit?

During your first visit, your therapist will perform a thorough examination, in which he or she will review your physician’s recommendations, examine the problem area, ask questions about your injury or pain, develop an effective treatment plan for rehabilitation, discuss their findings with you and answer any questions you may have. Your treatment plan may include hands-on, manual therapy, a customized exercise program, stretching and physical agents such as heat, ice, ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Your physical therapist may also recommend a home program to further assist in your treatment.

How long will my appointment take?

Your first appointment will typically last from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on your injury. Following appointments usually last between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the treatment. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your appointment for check-in and paperwork. You can also download our patient forms, which can be filled out beforehand and brought with to your appointment.

How often will I need to come?

The frequency of your treatment will depend on your physician’s prescription and the plan of care developed by your physical therapist. Most patients require treatment two to three times per week. The duration of treatment will depend on your injury and personal progress. Your physical therapist will discuss this with you following your initial exam and subsequently as you progress.

What if I need to cancel an appointment?

If you are unable to attend an appointment, we require at least 24 hours' notice. However, we do understand than an occasional emergency or illness may arise, in which case you may have to cancel your appointment closer to your scheduled time.

Do you accept insurances? Will insurance cover my therapy?

We accept most major insurances including Medicare, Tricare and workers’ compensation plans. Before your initial visit, we will verify in and out of network benefits with your insurance company. The cost of therapy is determined by the benefits of your insurance plan, including the deductible and co-pay, or patient percentage. We are happy to check with your insurance company to determine the terms of your coverage. Payment for patient responsibility is due at the time of service.
