Some of the patients working out on machines were coughing. I was told the mask policy is "your preference." This is a medical facility and they don't require masks. This is not just unacceptable, it unconscionable behavior for a medical facility. Unfortunately it is typical behavior for the surrounding rural area.

I was sent here via physician out of St. Louis and could not be happier with the treatment. I would like to see them work on getting fresh baked cookies for the patients as well as possibly playing more Christmas music but these are the little things that can be worked on. By far the best PT facility in the Parkland!!

I ended up using Dr. Choi for shoulder surgery and have seen him subsequently for a wrist issue…read more The surgery went very well with perfect recovery. It was a bicep tenodesis. No lingering issues and I was back to lifting with no pain. He is such a great doctor and so nice. He is not a wrist or hand doctor but tried conservative means to help my wrist. In the end he referred me to the hand surgeon in the practice, who was also awesome, for the injection, which he agreed to do while I was pregnant. No pain since!

I am a lifelong endurance athlete, and I was a patient at Optimal Performance Center twice in the…read morelast 10 years. Both times for injuries affecting my training and daily activities (e.g., ability to walk, work, etc. - let alone race). To me it is important to share: This practice crossed very serious ethical and professional boundaries during the course of my care. When I raised concerns in an attempt to resolve the issues, my concerns were not addressed. The issues persisted and in fact escalated. Rather than addressing any of this, OPC instead terminated my care. Following termination, I dealt with repeated contact and inappropriate behavior from individuals associated with the practice, actions which were intrusive and extremely distressing. All of this significantly affected my sense of safety and well-being and continues to do so. Patients enter clinical care expecting professionalism, boundaries, ethical conduct, and accountability. Those standards were certainly not upheld. I have had great experiences at many other practices across the St. Louis region. I cannot more strongly recommend that patients look elsewhere.

I am extraordinarily busy so I try to get his earliest appointments, often scheduling 6 weeks in advance to make sure I'm the first person. The only reason I'm writing this review is I'm at my 7:20am appointment and it's 7:42 and he still has a patient ahead of me. Targeting About a 30 -40 minute wait time. Again, my time was 720am. I'm supposed to be home feeding my.little girl who has down syndrome. My wife has waited as long as 2 hrs past her time. Again, we are still patients. The wait is worth it as our issues are getting resolved health wise, but you'll want to plan ahead like bring a book like war and peace or build a house while waiting or I don't know solve time travel. You'll have time for all of those.

I mentioned my difficulties with transportation and I was offered a ride to and from the office. Upon arrival, I was welcomed and I felt that my business was appreciated. After meeting with Dr. Marcus, he was friendly and explained each task as they were being performed and made sure my questions were answered. He took great care of me and I left feeling like I had a great experience. I have returned since my first visit and his level of care is exceptional. He has state of the art equipment. His receptionist was incredibly kind and friendly. I am rooting for the success of the practice and I will be back for more. Welcome to Highland.
