It’s hard to know whether you’ve chosen a good PT until you try one, but I really lucked out with this whole practice. I came for post-ACL and meniscus surgery rehab and was treated by Logan and Matt who were both fantastic - friendly, reassuring but will push you to improve. Full hour+ long sessions, easy scheduling, sufficient space and equipment. I’m sad I had to leave 🥲

I work with Brenden who is amazing at what he does! My balance has greatly improved over the time that I’ve worked with him. He’s the only one I only work with but everyone there seems to be very friendly!

Wonderful. Most important they know what they're doing, to where I can trust them 100%. It's also nice that they're genuinely kind, and the whole place is SO upbeat. We all know good PT is never a cakewalk, you work, but after my dumb fall I'm getting to be okay again, and my confidence is coming back

Highly recommend PTSMC. My son was injured and required surgery. Came to these guys because they were close to home. Received the best care from all the staff, but specifically Logan and Drew. My son is healed on track with the surgeon's expectations. They were great at making sure my son pushed himself while feeling good about the progress. Best combination of push and praise. We spent over 2 hours a week in here, and my son never complained about PT and his rehab wasn't easy. Office staff was great about making appointments. Staff explained medical concepts in easy to understand terms. Hopefully don't need to come back, but if I do I know where I'm going.

This practice made me a believer in PT. After months of neck pain & headaches, with structural issues ruled out, I started PT with Drew. I want instant gratification but was reassured that slow & steady would get me there. I am now three months in and my symptoms are significantly improved. If you're committed to the time this takes - it can really work wonders. This practice is patient, thorough, thoughtful and has a wonderful facility. I will absolutely use them again.

I've been a patient here both pre-op and now post-op. Hands down the best PT experience I've ever had. Always punctual, no down time during visits, and very effective treatments. Modern facility with all the hardware needed for the treatments but most importantly are the people. Everyone there is invested in your recovery. Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely love this physical therapy office! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and cared for. Everyone on the team is kind, professional, and incredibly helpful. Eric and Makayla are both so knowledgeable and attentive—they’re making a huge difference in my daughter’s knee recovery, and we’re seeing great improvement under their care. Nicole at the front desk is always warm and accommodating, and makes scheduling so easy. We’re truly grateful to have found this amazing team. Thank you all for the excellent care and support!
