I appreciate and loved working with our Physical Therapist, Divine Padilla. We were assigned to…read morework with Divine because my 1-year old (at the time) was a severe tip-toe walker which caused significant delays to her being able to walk. I cannot recommend Divine enough. Her patience, her knowledge, her empathy, her friendliness are all SO appreciated. I would text her videos of my daughter and ask her questions, and she'd always respond with great advice. My daughter grew attached to her too, despite only meeting her in person one time. When we first started PT, my daughter hated it - likely because the stretches were uncomfortable for her. Once my daughter started becoming more mobile and she gained more flexibility, she began looking forward to her virtual sessions with Divine because she made them fun for Adele. I couldn't even bring my laptop into the living room without my daughter excitedly running after the laptop yelling "Divine!" because she thought she just lived on the screen permanently. If you would have told me that by the time we ended PT that my daughter would be running, playing soccer, and going up and down stairs independently, I would have had trouble believing you. It just seemed so out-of-reach at the time as her toe-walking was so severe. But with Divine's dedicated attention to Adele, we made it happen! I am so grateful for Divine, and I just wanted to let you know what a gem you have on your staff! We are really going to miss working with her! But thankfully, because of Divine's help, we no longer need PT :)

My father passed away as a result of their neglect. He was there with a broken ankle but he had a…read morecatheter due to other health issues. We had spoken to them about our concerns regarding the lack of urine and his increasing confusion. To make a long story short I had to loudly insist on an ambulance to Plainview Hospital where he was diagnosed as septic. The nurses that stay in their office had zero concern for his well being and neglected to monitor his condition. They also did not provide pain medication the evening he was admitted as the pharmacy had not delivered it. They assured me they would and I arrived the next day to my father writhing in pain and in tears. The staff that provided care had told me they had asked the head nurse to assist my father and she refused. I had to beg her for an emergency dose. We filed a grievance with Excel and were assured that the staff involved in my father's case had been dealt with but I would be very concerned about having any loved ones with limitations being admitted. We were with my dad that entire week with breaks for us to sleep and shower and we were disregarded throughout.

***Shirley Tao, who is a Healthcare Recruiter for Apex, exhibited disrespectful, inconsiderate,…read moredeflective, and other unprofessional conduct and behavior, and a lack of transparency regarding pertinent information related to an application I had submitted, for which I have now withdrawn my interest and application for the position previously applied for. *** I applied for an HHA position I found on Indeed that APEX had posted. Not long after I submitted, I received communication from Shirley and spent the end of last week running around to get diagnostic testing redone, etc. At no point did Shirley or the Indeed posting indicate "the facility has been known to be slow on interviews it does take them a few days to review" it wasn't until I withdrew my application via email that this information came to light if this was not bad enough, she had the audacity to tell me in the same email response she states " I did not hear from them an interview confirmation so I did not say anything" makes the entire interaction even worse and reinforces my point about a lack of transparency, consideration, and respect, which reflects very badly on her character and, subsequently, Apex. Sending a quick update, such as "Hey so-and-so" or whatever greeting you choose, followed by "I've submitted all your information to the facility. Once I receive an update regarding an interview date, I will let you know," or something along those lines, shows you respect the applicant and their time. Choosing not to say anything, as she did, and making that admission (which I would have kept to myself) indicates a basic lack of respect for the prospective applicant. There is a stark difference between miscommunication and non-communication, and it is apparent that she does not know the difference. In this case, this was non-communication on her part, but she says, "it was miscommunication," and, more importantly, there was a lack of transparency from the very beginning. She deflected, blaming the facility and/or me for her lack of candor/professionalism, when it was her/Apex responsibility to be transparent, which would have allowed me and other applicants who value their time to make an informed decision, but Shirley prevented that. When a person hides important facts and prevents you from making a smart choice about a job, it is called job scamming, fraud by omission, or deceptive recruitment. That is what Shirley did by preventing me, and potentially other prospective applicants, from making an informed decision. I have chosen to post these interactions as a matter of public interest and to warn others about potential interactions they may have when dealing with Shirley Tao. Some may ask why I gave it 2 stars if the interaction was this bad. The reason for the 2 stars is that A. Mahamed from H.R., whom I spoke to on the phone about this matter, was very pleasant to deal with and showed compassion, understanding, and a legitimate desire to resolve this matter. But I can't stay silent and not make others aware of these interactions with Shirley, because then I am complicit and a hypocrite for discussing issues of transparency and then not being transparent myself.

I started working with Joe who is incredibly knowledgeable with his work of physical therapy. Not only is he the best, but his assistants are incredible too. Kellie and Brooke are super helpful with ensuring your corrective exercises are done with proper form. Michelle at the front desk is so sweet. She cares about getting to know the patients names and is so friendly every time I come in. The equipment here is top notch. It is clear a lot of thought went into how they designed the office and studio. My favorite parts of my experience with physical therapy is the use of their gravity treadmill (it's so cool!), the electric stimulation and the laser therapy. Joe has used his expertise to have me back and running again and doing great at my races. I listen to his advice to keep my knee healthy with my upcoming marathon. Overall, this is the best place for physical therapy I've ever been. The equipment is updated, it is so clean, the staff is super, and I'm feeling strong again. I highly recommend coming here and I would recommend to ask for Joe as your physical therapist!
