She is very sweet and gave me some great things to do at home.
Melissa never fails to fix me up and make me feel better!
She has made my recovery so much better. She easy to talk to and really knows her stuff.
Impressive. I am a professional kinesiologist and I know she knows her stuff. Caring, aware, thorough without feeling rushed good sense of humor. Doesn’t get any better.
Have been seeing Melissa for a long time and am very pleased with my care
Excellent have worked with her before and am very happy to work with her again.
Great care is provided by Melissa. I was nervous going to my first appointment post surgery, but Melissa put me at ease, explained everything, & I am very thankful she was assigned to me.
Listened to me & found the correct PT exercises for me
Just what I needed!
My first ever Dry Needling yesterday. I’m anxious to see how it works!
