The Therapy consultants are great here. They all help each other out here when needed. Me playing a professional sport you like to see that. The acupuncture seems pretty good also. I have only had that twice so I'm on the fence. I've never done it before here but the first time was great and the second time was ehh... see... I'm on the fence. I'll see how Thursday goes...

So grateful to John Kauffman ( owner ) and his outstanding PT staff Amy , Olivia , John . Everyone from office manager Kim , front desk Priscilla and acupuncturist Jessica were awesome . I had PT for my shoulder prior to surgery for 2 months hoping it would do the trick with John . Unfortunately it didn't ,NOT the fault of PT staff at all . And they really worked on my shoulder manually. I just happened to have a severe case . I went back post surgery for another 2 months with Amy . Even during quarantine. John truly cared about ppl like me which PT post surgery is VITAL . Everybody was amazing
