Advantage Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

I was not at all happy with the inconsistent PT’S that I saw. I started Post surgery for my shoulder. The first response when I was introduced to «the physical therapist» was critical to my orthopedic doctor’s order. #1 My orthopedic doctor was a life changer #2 no one asked me what brought me to the doctor in the first place. #3 no one took the time to see where i was at the beginning. I took that appointment with great insult but continued to return because I realized there would not be the same PT during my 90 minutes. For some reason I went backwards a few sessions (which I now hear is normal with this surgery) but was made to feel like I was failing someone. I tried to talk to some of the people in the office but they are on their own schedule and focus on the Internet they serf vs. the patients that are struggling. After stopping PT I have surpassed my Dr. s expectations and have made great strides.

When you go into any medical situation, you want to feel respected, cared for and comfortable. You will get that from the staff here! Wonderful personalities that reach out and build effective relationships that drive comfort and trust. That coupled with their expertise has made my many visits a pleasure.

I have been a patient at Advantage since July 2013 due to issues with my upper and lower back, referred by the Virginia Spine Institute. My doctor wanted to ensure that I had hands-​on, one-​on-​one care, and that is exactly what I have received!
When I first met Corinne, Daniel, and Kristin, I was in pretty much constant discomfort from knots in my upper back. I am about to «graduate», and it is only due to their care that most of my issues are not only tolerable, but resolved. Ashley and Courtney have kept me on track with the exercises, both encouraging and challenging me, as well as keeping me distracted and laughing when the stretches and exercises weren’t so much fun. And then there is Carrie who always kept me on track with my appointments and never failed to smile and make me feel good!
Long and short is that I will never go anywhere else for any physical therapy needs I might have. This group of folks are very professional and know what they are doing, but also treat their patients like friends and family in the best possible way!

After consulting with Dr. Lauerman at Georgetown University Hospital regarding the bulging disk in my back — he recommended a course of physical therapy. He has a network of PT folks he likes — but his recommended network did not extend out my way. So he recommended I consult with my Family Doctor for a recommendation — which I did.
Dr. Parikh recommended Advantage Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation. I trust Dr. Parikh and accepted his recommendation.
While it is still early on — I feel like the PT staff at Advantage is truly interested in my well being and helping me improve. Additionally, they combine a level of professional demeanor, yet temper it with a dose of friendliness and care — that is a nice combination to have!
