The Kensington office of Bethesda Physical Therapy rocks!…read more I'm 67 and continue to lead a physically active life -- and have had a few problems that need PT Almost tore the rotator cuff in my left shoulder in a bike wreck 30 years ago - light yard work two years did the rest. Ultrasound diagnosis at ROSM diagnosed it - doctor suggested the Kensington office of Bethesda Physical Therapy Therapist Morgan Gay and I worked together to reduce the pain and restore full functionality by strengthening muscles around the shoulder and improving my posture. Continued home PT by me has kept the fix working for years Now recovering from surgical replacement of my left hip joint. I did pre-surgery at the office and at home and am now a month into post surgery PT in the office and at home.

I went to the Kensington office, and they didn't have any of my appointments on the books! I had to scurry to find someplace else. In addition to that, although the office is supposed to be open at 8:30 am, they were still not answering the phone at 8:45...so I had to drive there to ask my question...and find out I wasn't on the schedule.

I can tell that she truly care for her patients. When my mom passed away, she gave me flowers at my next session. So kind! My acupuncture sessions with her have benefitted my overall well being.

Dr Johnson made me come in for an appointment today, only to abruptly present me with an interrogation by her husband--for which she did not have the courtesy to inform me, even 5 minutes in advance--and a termination letter. I found this episode to be extremely disrespectful. Dr Johnson could have saved me a lot of inconvenience by mailing the termination letter, but her husband falsely claimed that mailing it was a HIPAA violation!

Dr. Lowy was so patient and reassuring and was more than willing to listen to my questions and concerns. He also provided me with useful information about the type of break I had as well as clear instructions for how to care for my foot. I am very appreciative of his assistance and expertise. I will definitely return to him should myself and/or family need foot/ankle care in the future. Thank you Dr. Lowy!

After surgery for stage one breast cancer three months ago, Cynthia Weiss of Wellness…read moreRehabilitation provided services to relieve the pain and discomfort of lymphedema and radiation treatment. Her treatment made a dramatic impact on my long and challenging healing process. Not only did she lessen the pain and soreness, but taught me exercises and techniques to relieve the pain and discomfort myself.

I recently had spinal fusion surgery after two years of debilitating lower back pain due to a…read moreserious disk herniation, and misaligned vertebra. During these two years my range of activity was severely constrained - it was nearly impossible to exercise, do social things, even shop for groceries or take a leisurely/extended walk. Prior to my surgery, I'd tried many treatment approaches which turned out unhelpful (physical therapy, osteopathic manipulations, pilates, massage, acupuncture, epidural cortisone injections and more). After surgery I knew that physical rehabilitation would be essential for getting back to full activities, but did not wish to go back to the run of the mill physical therapy regimen where therapists see me for 15 minutes, do not have time to carefully assess my condition, and hand me print-outs with tiny images of generic exercises. I sought a more deliberate, well informed and personally tailored mode of rehabilitation. Luckily, through referrals from trusted medical professionals, I found Wellness Rehabilitation, in Kensington MD. From the first session with Cynthia Weiss I realized that she offered a different and superior approach. We work on subtle core muscles control to protect the spine and we examine thoroughly my posture in daily functions (walking, lifting, reaching, sitting and lying down). Cynthia's work also includes effective hands-on techniques for relieving trigger points pain and post-surgical muscle spasms, and she is very attentive to any information I provide about my body's responses. The one-on-one, full hour sessions are delightful and very helpful. Cynthia helps me understand my body's biomechanics, and she gives me insightful tips for homework exercises to enhance the use of core muscles while protecting the back from unnecessary strain. It is worth mentioning that I've been an avid dancer prior to my lower back issues so Cynthia's involvement in this type of activity is an extra bonus for me. Currently, two months after surgery, I am pain-free, am able to take long walks in the parks, do shopping, household chores, and engage socially. I would say to anyone reading this that you are in good hands with Cynthia, and things are likely to improve. Be diligent about the homework exercises and remain optimistic.

Based on the appointment and my total confidence in him I scheduled surgery. He went through all of the options very carefully with me, listened to what I wanted, and did a fantastic job with the procedure. Not only was he totally professional, he really put me at ease. Fast forward, a few years ago I fell and really damaged my foot and ankle. When I called his office they explained he was booked up that morning but they arranged for me to see his colleague and he promised he would check on me during the appointment and he did. He's a really good doctor and also a really nice person.

When I told him I was not comfortable with taking hormones not fully knowing what was causing me all my symptoms he still insisted on hormones. I suspect he has a partnership with the pharmacy in his building. He had to look a lot of things up as we were talking about my labs to get more information as well. He also had another patient doing some type of treatment while I was there and he kept leaving the appt several times to check on him and would not come back for 20mins and longer. He was not experienced at all with placing a needle for EBOO therapy and stuck me several times. He was completely unorganized and had no nurse in person to assist. He seems to be more about profit. I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease caused from an immune system reaction to a steroid shot. He was only concerned about treating me with HORMONE REPLACEMENT and not getting to the real root cause of all my horrible issues. Beware.
