Dr. Donn Shaver is by far the best physical therapist/doctor of physical therapy I've ever worked with. He truly cares about his patients being well and is as excited as you are when you meet a goal. After a car accident left me with numerous injuries, I worked with a PT in my doctor's office, and got pretty much nowhere.

I've had almost 4 years of neck pain, been from doctor to doctor with no answers and seen 2 other run of the mill physical therapists with absolutely no results. 3 weeks in with Donn and I was already seeing improvement. A few months later and im back to lifting heavy again! I really thought I was done for. He's knowledgeable, professional and just all around a great dude. Worth every penny. Dont waste your time with anyone else. Highly recommend ⭐💪⭐💪⭐💪⭐💪⭐💪⭐

I cannot say enough positive things about working with Dr. Donn. He has helped me get rid of my aches and pains after struggling with them for a few years. I consider myself a highly active individual; I CrossFit, run, ski, cycle, hike, chase and carry my kids, etc. I've had areas that have bothered me including my hips, hamstring, and knee for years. They never got to the point of being unusable and fully injured but I was always aware of them. Each individual session of PT was completely tailored to my needs with new strategies/exercises/stretches introduced regularly. Dr. Donn was always respectful

I highly recommend Dr. Donn’s strength and conditioning classes for anyone who is looking to get in shape and improve their strength! I have always been a fairly active person but after recently having a baby I unsurprisingly noticed limitations in my core and overall strength. Starting up a workout regiment again seemed daunting at first but Donn’s program is easy to follow and better yet enjoyable to participate in. Unlike other trainers, Donn is certified in strength and conditioning and has a doctorate in physical therapy so he knows better than most how to tailor the program to you and

I was introduced to Donn by another client who worked with him to overcome an injury. In the three months since, I can confidently say he’s the best physical therapist in the area. He adapts to my specific injuries and goals, analyzing my movement through the lens of both a weightlifting coach and physical therapist. His integration of therapeutic exercises and traditional weightlifting gave me a custom built program which kept me in the gym while progressing toward my recovery. The sessions are one on one, enabling an incredible attention to detail, and he’s available to answer questions outside

I could not recommend Donn enough! He is professional yet fun to work with, and he knows his stuff. Unlike other PT facilities in the area, you actually get 1-on-1 treatment and attention from a physical therapist for your entire session, getting you back to doing the stuff you love to do. If you're active and want to stay that way but a nagging injury is holding you back, seriously go check Donn out. You will not be disappointed!

Dr. Donn Shaver is in incredibly professional, and knowledgeable. He truely cares about each one of his clients, and is passionate about the progression of each individual. He takes a well informed science based approach to all of his work. While conforming to the individual needs of each client. He does an incredible job assessing progression, as well as explaining the fuctionality of the movements and excercises he has each individual client preform. This helps you grasp a greater understanding of what you are doing, as opposed to just going through the motions because you were told to do so

Donn came very highly recommended from a few of my friends. My shoulder hurt for weeks and finally after seeing a doctor I was diagnosed with a SLAP tear. I went to Donn for Four weeks and my shoulder feels stronger than it’s felt in a long time. The one on one hour long sessions you get with him are worth every penny. I truly believe without him I’d be struggling with this pain for a while. He gives you a complete workout geared exactly towards what you need. I’ll be adding these workouts to my routine and I now understand the importance of stretching, and warming up. Thank you Donn!

Hands down best PT program I've embarked on. Donn is very professional, and relatable. practice is very clean with state of the art equipment. Really enjoyed how in-depth Donn is with explaining vernacular, technique, and why specific exercises translate to increased mobility and strength under load. Iron City Physical Therapy is the first and only place I recomend people. excited to have recently graduated my program as well!

I was treated at Iron City Physical Therapy for back pain, and it help a lot. However, this review is about the treatment my mother received. We were in the same car accident, and while my pain was bad hers was worse. She gained a lot of weight and became depressed because she was always in pain from one injury or another. After working for over a year with Donn Shaver, DPT, I just watched her spend the afternoon dance/cleaning for over three hours without complaining about pain. The work she completed with Donn at Iron City transformed her and gave me back my life loving Mom.

Iron City Physical Therapy is the best place I have been for physical therapy. The one on one time with Donn was amazing, much better than other places where the therapist has to divide their attention between multiple patients. I think Iron City really caters to athletes and everyday people alike, tailoring the rehab to each person. Donn is extremely knowledgeable you can always ask why he is doing something in a treatment protocol, and he has an answer. All of his practices are based on research to maximize the greatest outcome for the patients. So often in physical therapy, the personal touch

I have known Donn for quite awhile and he has always been very hardworking, detail oriented, personable along with being highly educated and dedicated to helping others to achieve their goals. Along his journey education along with hands on experience he has learned and mastered along the way gives him a one up on other physical therapists.This is the Dr you want to go to if you need help you with any of your physical rehab ,nutritional or just plain strengthening so you can avoid injuries needs without hesitation !!!
