I have been treated for injuries by other hand clinics before, but felt I was more of a annoyance than a patient. That is not the case with Hands For Living. I have been a patient at Hands For Living for 2 years now with multiple surgeries to my hand. All the staff have been incredibly compassionate, professional, timely and friendly. Although each staff has been excellent in my treatment, my favorite caregiver has been Vanessa. She is engaging and lively and competent. Thank you again Vanessa for your guidance in my healing. The clinic is clean and spacious. They interface with my hand surgeon for any updates to my treatment. They also speak Spanish for those clients who do. I wish I could give them 10 stars! Highly recommended! read more

I called Hands for Living looking for occupational therapy that centered on hands. I have a neurological disorder that leaves the muscles in my hands weak, and I have a tremor that makes fine-motor work difficult. The person who answered the phone didn't know if they worked with hand tremors or neurological disabilities involving the hands. No problem. I don't expect everyone at a job to know everything, especially in the medical field. The problem was her attitude. She sounded almost surprised that I was asking the question. She acted blown away that someone would call into an occupational therapist's office that focused on hands with a HAND-focused nerve problem. She almost sounded disgusted. When I asked if she had any recommendations for other clinics, all she would tell me is that "I wouldn't even know where to begin to figure that out." Then she wished me a good day and hung up. For a medical clinic that treats people with debilitating medical conditions, the lack of sensitivity when communicating with a potential client was astounding. It's hard enough to find compassion in the medical field, particularly as a woman, but the least they could do is have a little more tact. read more

Joanne and staff couldn't be more interested in your well being. A comfortable environment for healing. I've been treated by Joanne for 2 hand surgeries and most recent a frozen shoulder.

I'm so happy and thankful that I found Hands for Living! JoAnn is fantastic and I am so excited to get my new silver ring splints. If you are hypermobile or have a connective tissue disorder like Ehlers-Danlos, this is the clinic you want to be seen at. The whole team is extremely knowledgeable, and they all have a level of experience and years of expertise in treating hypermobile patients that you won't find anywhere else. They also have super affordable cash prices if you are uninsured or out of network, which is a huge bonus. Best of all, I found them because JoAnn is plugged in locally with EDS support groups, where you can often find her asking questions, listening to feedback from splint users, and working to compile further knowledge and treatment information to help our often underserved community. This was so encouraging to see and really gave me confidence that I would be in good hands. (pun intended) In my experience, doctors willing to be curious and creative lifelong learners are often the best of the best. Thank you JoAnn and Hands for Living, the work you do is so important- and we need more providers like you! read more

The entire staff was excellent ! From the therapist to the front desk. Joanne and Shawna did a fantastic job of rehabbing my hand after surgery earlier this year. A very professional team that made it easy to work with and guide me thru my "homework" rehab. They also did a great job of keeping my surgeon informed of my progress and that made the process seem seamless from surgery to rehabilitation. Needless to say, I would highly recommend them!! read more

I highly recommend these gals for you elbow, wrist and hand needs! I wouldn't trust anyone else for OT hand therapy. Super sweet and right on the ball with treatments and exercises. I tell everyone that I know or see with injuries to go here. read more

Shortly after beginning rehab for hand surgery last autumn, I managed to tip over a motorcycle, and so added a broken clavicle and sprained back to my to-do list. Jo Ann coordinated with surgeons, chiropractor, and Medicare, and did a fine job of focusing on the most important issues at each stage of my development. She found ways to combine the exercises I had to do for all three areas of my body, so that my homework sessions were as short as possible. As a result I was able to progress while seeing her only once a week and to graduate in time for the good spring weather. At some clinics therapists multitask - leaving one patient with a machine while they attend to some one else. At Hands For Living the therapists spend the entire appointment period with each patient. This makes for sharp observation, effective problem-solving, and fun conversations. Jo Ann has gathered competent associates and magisterial receptionists in her workplace, and I am confident that, if I make another poor decision in the great outdoors - something I seem to do on a fairly regular basis - I may look forward to time with these fine people once again. read more

I've had the mis-fortune of being a repeat client of Hands for Living as both my hands have had multiple issues. Each time I have been treated with excellence and compassion. The team is dedicated to improving lives, one hand at a time. read more

I was skeptical at first of therapy but my experience was eye opening, and excellent. I was fearful the thumb crush injury would be a long time healing, but the top notch staff at H F L got me back to doing what I enjoy way quicker than I expected. Also received good general hand health info and home exercises to keep my recovery rolling. Polite staff that makes the process as painless as possible. Two thumbs up! read more

JoAnne Keller at Hands for Living is, hands down, the best therapist I've seen. After surgery for a thumb joint replacement, I was referred to JoAnne by my surgeon's staff. The rehab is lengthy, this is my second time with this surgery (other hand) and the first time I didn't go to a hand specialist for therapy. Not only is JoAnne a highly skilled and knowledgeable specialist, she is dedicated to your success. She and her staff are all professional, caring, and made therapy a positive experience. I'm so appreciative of the level of care I received, I know it's made a difference in my recovery. read more

While the doctor who worked on my hand expected I'd need a skin graft, JoAnn Keller, of Hands For Living, approached it differently. She dressed my wound and built a custom hand splint that kept my finger in a position that promoted self-healing. In just a few days it was clear her approach was working. That was a huge relief to me and my doctor! I highly recommend Hands For Living because of my first hand experience (pun intended!) of the amazing work they do! read more

JoAnn is an incredible hand therapist. The brace she made for my thumb was custom fit and I was so impressed with how quickly she form fitted it to my hand. She is a warm, friendly hand therapist who makes your visits not only healthful and restorative, but she is both fun and knowledgeable. I would choose JoAnn for any kind of hand/occupational therapy--whether arthritis, an injury or a surgery follow up to restore function. read more

Joanne is the most patient and fun medical person to visit. I was in so much pain with a severely damaged finger when I went to see her that I was scared for anyone to touch it. She made it feel so much better that I was looking forward to my weekly therapy sessions with her. My finger is so much better and only thanks to Joanne. I couldn't recommend a better 'hand repairer', read more

Joanne was wonderful. Her specialty area was greatly appreciated and her knowledge and approach was wonderful. My job dependa on me typing and writing and to have her pin point "what" was going on in itself was a great help. My issue isn't a once and doe so I look forward to a continued relationship with this help provider. read more
