I have been going to PT for over 2 months now since my last knee surgery. I picked this office due…read moreto its close proximity to my house since I found riding in cars and really anything in general very uncomfortable. My surgery was no walk in the park and I knew my recovery wouldn't be either. However, I really have to sing the praises of this office. I have been to physical therapy several times in my life. I am that person that has broken something on every limb, or that limb period so I have seen my fair share of Therapists who go through the motions with you but are really just overworked, overbooked, understaffed, disinterested, or all the above. The staff at ESSMC have been rather exceptional. There definitely were times that I was being a real pill while attending therapy. But the staff would talk to me and keep me looking toward the positive. I especially like Marielle and John. They are both dedicated PT's that really work with you, and push you to go past your comfort zones. The technicians in this office are also very helpful and personable. If you need to visit a physical therapist and are in the area (they have several offices in the Eastern areas of Pittsburgh) I would highly recommend this establishment. I have come a LONG way since starting here and really have to thank them, along with my dearly patient and loving husband, for all the support and encouragement.

I went to this practice due to it's close proximity to my home. While the care I received for my…read moreinjured elbow was top notch my overall experience left me feeling taken advantage of. Let me explain. Andrew and his staff were excellent in caring for my needs. The problem was the price tag that came along with this care. The billing department associated with this practice leaves much to be desired. It started in with being told I had a zero copay, which by itself shame on me for not checking. However, I never received a bill until after my therapy was completed. 20 visits later totaling over fifteen hundred dollars!!! I must add I needed 10 additional treatments because the head PT misplaced my medication for my ionophoresis therapy-upon my initial visit. so my doctor prescribed 10 more treatments. I had never received a bill so I figured I would continue to go. Anyways once I got my first bill, post treatment, fifteen hundred dollars later, I called upset with the sticker shock. Of course blamed my insurance and slow payments and coordination of billing process but needless to say felt taken advantage. Received a voicemail from head PT with not even a true apology!!! Needless to say won't be back because of and be careful as a new patient for what your signing on for financially!!!
