Nobody wants to need physical therapy. I can think of lots of other places I'd rather be. However, life happens and we deal with it. Having said that, I enjoyed working with Melissa and her crew. They were pleasant to work with and know their stuff. I had a slight issue with the healing from my surgery. She contacted my surgeon right away and got me in to see him in about an hour...and without any kind of copay.
Really enjoyed my sessions with Melissa and the team.
Good listener, informative and gentle when needed
She’s great, very kind and professional I really like her
