Shout out to all my friends at WCPT. Still doing the stretches and strength exercises you taught me. Went snowshoeing yesterday for 2 hours! Knee feels great. You all put in a lot of work to make that a reality. You are absolutely the best in Bellingham. Pull out an assessment form, put my name at the top and circle the smiley face. Thank you so much! I miss seeing you each week but glad I am healthy enough not to.

After being diagnosed with a shoulder issue, I did a lot of research to find a highly rated and respected place for my Physical Therapy. Whatcom Community Physical Therapy has gone above and beyond my expectations in terms of addressing my shoulder issue and treating me like a human being and not a number. Paul Fitzgerald took the time to understand my issue. He is friendly, knowledgable and respectful and he went to great lengths to explain my course of therapy. He also provided me with many tools to continue to work on my shoulder at home and on the road. Paul always took the time to listen and

The therapists and staff are exceptional. Over the years, I have had physical therapy with several providers in Bellingham. Whatcom Community Physical Therapy is, in my opinion, the best in Bellingham. The therapists are knowledgeable, highly trained and skilled at their professions. At the beginning of each session they check in with me to see how I am doing and they adapt each session as I progress and heal. They give me great advice for exercises and life adaptations I can use to advance the healing process between sessions. The support staff is very friendly and work hard to make scheduling

Really nice space and lovely people to see each week. I’ve been working with Paul for a few months and he is friendly and super helpful getting back on my feet after my car accident. I really appreciate his knowledge for a natural way to heal.

My daughter has severe anxiety around doctors (including physical therapists). After a knee injury a few years ago, we tried PT but she was unable to get past her anxiety to trust her PT and do the work. After she re-injured it this year, we decided to try Whatcom Community Physical Therapy. When we arrived and saw Echo in the waiting area, my daughter started to relax a little. Still, her anxiety was strong. It took a couple of sessions, but Dr. Paul worked with her where she was, and when he invited her to bring our dog with her to sessions, she was finally able to feel comfortable with him and

Paul has been the best, most knowledgeable physical therapist I have ever worked with. He has also worked wonders with my husband when he was training for his first marathon at the age of 61!! Not only did he finish but he placed. Paul even followed up with my husband after the race. Paul has shown over and over that he truly cares for his clients. We would and have recommended Paul to anyone who needs an excellent physical therapist.

I found Paul to be professional, courteous, attentive and engaging.
I attribute my successful recovery to his expertise and guidance. I always felt comfortable in a session and in the facility. It is clean, organized and well equipped. Chalis and Echo accentuate the relaxed ambiance that is so welcome in todays fast pace. The best yet for me!

Paul took a lot of time to explain my neck injury, listened to my residual symptoms and put my fears at ease about my neck being touched. I've never had a more relaxing spa like experience during PT and his kind, gentle and intelligent approach has gone a long way in trusting him in what my body still needs to rebuild. I can see why all his other patients love and respect him, too. Thank you, Paul! :)

Paul is one of the best physical therapists and human beings I know. He is professional and very caring. He knows how to get at the root of the problem and fix it quickly.
