I have been to several physical therapist and for me, Farese Physical therapy is head and shoulders above the others I have been to. They are the consummate professionals and the staff is personable and quite friendly. They make you feel welcomed. Ten out of ten times I would recommend Farese PT to family and friends. They get the job done!!

I live in Largo and I drive half an hour each way to get therapy for my frozen shoulder here. My orthopedist’s PA told me of all the PTs on their list, this one was the best, and I think he was right!
I went one time to another, closer place and while I won’t name them, let’s say I didn’t *select* their treatment.
Patti at Farese is as conscientious and passionate about her profession as they come. Rob, Margit, and Robin know their stuff and they work as a well-oiled machine with their patients, making sure everyone gets quality attention even when they’re busy.
The space is absolutely

This is the BEST facility for all of you physical therapy needs! Very professional and friendly staff, always putting me (the patient) first and foremost. The bonus, very affordable and very flexible schedule.
Personally, I am hoping to not need the services of Farese Physical Therapy to much longer but if I find myself in future need, Farese will be my first call!
My thanks to the entire Farese Team!
Sincerely,
Greg

From the moment I went to Farese, for the initial therapy, before my surgery, until the moment I finished my last appointment after surgery, I was extremely satisfied with their service. I was given an extensive assessment, so I knew, before I started, what to expect. The atmosphere from the entire staff, was one of encouragement. They knew your name, and acknowledged you from the beginning.
My therapist was fantastic. She encouraged me when I was up and when I was down. And, made me not feel “let down”, when I was having a challenging day. She explained what was happening when I had certain

Patti Farese is a professional and courteous physical therapist who is currently helping me recover from a major surgery. Her center is clean, organized, and well equipped. Her staff is comprised of awesome and caring people who take the time to explain and demonstrate exercises and stretches. I would say an average session lasts about 1.5 hours. I recommend choosing Farese for your recovery.
