Report
My son was injured during football this week- his athletic trainer saw it and was almost certain it was broken. Took him to ER and it was too swollen to get good imaging or properly diagnose anything. So, we followed up as recommended. He was injured on a Wed, we followed ip Friday morning. The doctor dismissed my sons pain. Told he he just “needed PT.” Seriously just PUSHED PT as a treatment. He didn’t do ANY further imaging, despite a worsening condition and our concerns about soft tissue damage much less a fracture. Sent him out the door- not a care in the world. This child

I just completed my third stint with SEPT and I already miss them! Both the staff and physical trainers are top notch and If (when) I injure myself in the future, hope I get to work with them again!
