That was 14 years ago. I've had stem cell, prolotherapy, prolozone, and visco treatments on both knees and back and still running, tennis, and triathlons in my late 60's. Hands down, the best doctor I've ever had. Treatments are basically painless and stress free. Appointments are never rushed, and Dr T always has new suggestions. The office staff is wonderful. It's a shame that insurance won't cover the treatments (no $$$ for insurance/drug companies) but I'd rather spend my money on treatments that actually work.

Then, the person makes a tentative appointment and says someone will call to get the insurance information and confirm. So I asked what if nobody calls. She said don't worry because they don't charge for missed appointments. I found that to be unusually good service so I confirmed it. She said that she knows other places do that, but they don't do it there. Then, days went by and nobody called. Then suddenly I received a text saying I had an appointment the next day, and to reply to confirm, and that if I miss my appointment, I'll be charged! This was so rude! And the opposite of what the person I talked to said. So I texted back saying that I don't have an appointment. I received a response saying they don't receive incoming texts! So they texted me asking for a response, but they don't receive responses! So I had to call to cancel the appointment that I didn't have! Then another long wait on hold. Then the person told me they do charge for missed appointments, and the previous representative gave me incorrect information. So I asked who the person was who scheduled an appointment that I didn't make, and gave me incorrect information. She said they don't know who she was. They don't have records of that! Then she kept asking me if I want to keep my appointment, after I repeatedly told her that I don't have one, and can't come at that time. She kept repeating the same question. Finally I hung up. Good riddance to this place

My experience with physical therapists since 7 years old (now in my 70's) is extensive. Ivy Rehab…read morePhysical Therapy has surpassed all other therapy centers. Giovanna, the "holds it all together person," is very competent and attentive to the details of the entire operation. The therapists - Brian, Glen and Jamie are professional, friendly and have good senses of humor. As a result, I have looked forward to my sessions and did not feel in any way that they were a chore I had to endure. I have never been able to describe therapy as fun, but that is what my sessions were. I have benefited tremendously from their treatments. I improved, not only in original script for treatment, but additionally am enjoying the benefits of the unexpected improvements. I introduced to different therapy modalities I had not experienced before and was impressed at their creativity in the challenges they used to keep me progressing well without being subjected to challenges they didn't think I could handle. Lastly, anticipating my needs was something beyond my expectations. So, I highly recommend Ivy Physical Therapy and will definitely use their services any time in the future. Thank you to everyone at Ivy Physical Therapy.

John Fulkerson ended my 8 month ordeal around 5 years ago where I went to 3 doctors over and over…read moreagain in Philadelphia which kept on telling me that there was nothing wrong with me or that there was nothing that they could do for me. I was at wits end. It seemed like my mother was the only person who believed that there was really a something wrong with not only my right knee, but my left knee. I hurt myself really badly playing basketball. I hurt both knees on the same day. I couldn't believe it. I had played sports 5 days a week for my whole life. Then I couldn't even walk a block without walking b/c of all the pain. It was so depressing. The doctors at the Rothman Institute in Philadelphia told me there was nothing wrong with me. I think I saw them 4 times. I saw Dr. Larry Miller around 5 times. The kicker I had to keep waiting 3-4 weeks in between appointments hoping that the next time would be different. I couldn't give up. I finally decided to try someone else. Someone said that he was one of the best on the east coast. He also fit me in right away. I remember to this day it was November 20th. I was injured in February. from February to November 20th barely able to walk in pain. Then Dr Fulterson (I remember this like it was yesterday) He read my MRI...and felt my right knee. There were two areas of distinct pain. He said you definitely have some torn cartilage. He also said that there may be two tears. He said the pain that I was having was not from the exact area was showing the tear on the MRI. He then said that I can operate on the 26th of November. So after 8 months of agony and helplessness in one visit I had someone who verified that there was a problem and that he would try and fix it. That he offered to do it 6 days later. I felt like he cared so much. I wound up getting a 5th opinion from the Texas Rangers Baseball Club team orthopedist and he concurred that there was some kind of tear by just reading the MRI. He recommended I get the surgery done by Dr. Paul Sethi in Greenwich. I went to Dr. Sethi who also gave me a half hour and went all over the MRI and felt my knee. Dr. Sethi fit me in and did the surgery which lasted 2 hours longer then he thought it would take. I had both a torn meniscus and torn articular cartilage that lined the femor. I was on crutches for 4 weeks and had rehab of another 18 months. He also performed surgery on a minor lateral meniscus tear on my left knee. I know walk without pain after going through 16 months of almost not being able to walk a block without crying. Dr. Fulkerson was the first one who made me feel like I wasn't crazy. Dr. Freedman of Jefferson in Phila told me that if I kept on looking and seeing enough doctors that I would find something even though there was nothing to find. He told me I was on a wild goose chase. My mom and I disagreed. I just want to thank Dr. Fulkerson for being there for me when I really needed him. There are doctors and then there are doctors who care. He is in the second category. thank you!

The worse thing about Running or any type of physical activity is potential for getting injured. It…read morejust comes with the territory. I admit that I have never been a fan of formalized physical therapy. To me it seemed like a waste of time and money. As a runner I knew what i needed to do to rehab myself and did not know what else formalized PT could do for me. Recently though I developed a nasty case of right hip tendonitis that refused to go away and so after much consideration I decided to bite the bullet and see if maybe formalized PT could "cure" me. It also helped that my running czar (Mark C) said "what do you have to lose". I have to say after going here for about a month I am happy to report that I am much better and although not "cured" I am on the road to recovery. All of the therapist's, especially Helen who has been working with me, have been extremely helpful and always have a positive attitude. After an initial assessment during my first appointment I was prescribed exercises do during my appointments and on my own. Whst has been even more more therapeutic has been the assisted stretching and massage that has helped immensely by really getting down to the trouble spots. I was concerned that I would be given the same exercises and left to my own devices BUT every time I have gone to an appointment and something changes for the better or worse my therapy program has also been modified. I feel that they treat me as a runner and are working not only to get me better but to run pain free It sucks getting hurt but I am glad that I went. I have learned some new things to add to my routine.
