You have a gift, and the knowledge and expertise that you provide to clients like me is so much more effective and valuable than so many other therapeutic disciplines and providers. I feel very confident in saying that since I’ve seen so many physicians, physical therapists and other alternative care providers since this mess started (many of whom have been very good and helpful, as you know). But if I had to put it into one word, I would say that your care is exceptional (specifically, your knowledge and expertise, results oriented and individualized approach, and understanding of the many complexities involved). And you’re nice!Julie G.
Dear David, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your outstanding efforts in helping my son recover from a herniated disc and long standing scoliosis problems. As a physical therapist, I am very particular about health care providers. You were absolutely the best! My son went from a pain level of 9 to being virtually pain free in these months of treatment with you. But most importantly I believe you have taught him much about self-care and prevention for the future. I see significant improvements in his posture and flexibility. Although he is now moving forward with the trainer you recommended and doing well, it is reassuring that you are there to help him if there are occasional problems that could occur on the continued road to recovery.Word of mouth is the best marketing tool for a service business like yours, and you certainly will have nothing but positive testimonials from me. Seeing my son in such agony was difficult for me, but I am so encouraged with his progress. While I don’t know if he will return to tennis and all his athletic activities, his improvement is just remarkable. If I can help you in some way, please reach out to me. Thanks so much for all you have done!Sandy
