The staff is extremely friendly and the facility clean and inviting. Parking is easy in the back lot. But the 5 stars comes because I was lucky enough to get a 5 star therapist, Christine Danh. She watches and listens carefully to see how I react to my exercises, all customized for each stage of my recovery. Her positive attitude shows she clearly loves what she does and she sure is good at it! Highly recommend!

Not sure what has changed the last few years - her service is nothing like what the reviews saw…read moreshe used to be years ago . I have seen Karina a 2 times in the past , and followed her on instagram after the fact . For a "healer"- I'd expect somebody who doesn't put down other women . This woman has consistently put down other women and myself included through passive aggressive comments (She mentioned several times getting cosmetic procedures done to my face and body ) & how she treats other women & how other women I personally know have gone to her and felt the same . That time was my last time seeing her , but I didn't unfollow her . Not only is she a misogynistic bully , she has said consistently to kill every Palestinian. This is not a healer - this is a narcissistic person using the cloak of "spirituality" to disguise her inner evil. Spare yourself and your soul- go to somebody who is truly healed inside, one who doesn't judge . If you are looking for a safe space , she is not the one . She will not heal you, and she supports Donald J trump . Anybody who supports trump is not a spiritually aligned person , as I said, just a narcissistic person under a cloak. Islamophobic, racist , misogynistic... yeah sure ... "healer "...

I am a second time patient at Creamer physical therapy. I…read morerecently had to undergo another major back surgery in February this year. Therefore this is my second go around with this organization. I worked with PT, Troy, my first time around two years ago and he was amazing. Troy is experienced, compassionate, patient, and knowledgeable. When I came back to Creamer after my second surgery, Troy wasn't an option due to my schedule. I've been working with Ben, one of their newer physical therapist w their practice, however, has many years of PT experienced in many different areas. I can't say enough about how grateful I am to have met Ben. He is extremely professional, asks all the right questions, helps me communicate with my surgeon and truly has my best interest at heart. Ben is extremely wise and knowledgeable. I feel heard and seen and grateful for both Troy and Ben. They have made a profound difference in my recovery during a very difficult time in my life.

Whether recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or regaining strength and mobility after surgery (like me for the Rotator Cuff), you want to spend time in the best place to accomplish your goals. At Creamer, it's a delight to be met by Melia or Sabinne, who handle all the scheduling. Whether your therapist is Gloria, Troy, Simon, or other qualified personnel, you are in excellent hands. Specific care is taken with your needs, and that truly matters. Many technician assistants and aides, like Alan, Chris, Ellie, and Eddie, help with the exercises, which complements the therapist's work. My six months of PT twice a week were enriching months. The staff's joy, focus, and dedication to my recovery from Rotator Cuff surgery inspired me to heal. I highly recommend Creamer Physical Therapy to anyone with a physical problem who wants to heal.

A…read morenurse with an accent came by later to do paperwork and she was patient (though we wished she would greet us when we crossed paths in the hallways...as with the other staff). Most of the nurses and CNAs seemed nice, however, the feeling of being ignored was my parent's daily struggles. I understand that they have a lot of patients to take care of, but sometimes, when I was there, I could see some truth in it. The office people who take care of the business side was my frustration. Only if they would return my calls and keep me updated on the progress of my requests, I would've given the facility another star. Overall, the facility was constantly being kept clean, 70% of the staff were friendly and the care provided for my parent was acceptable, and I do appreciate what they do for all the patients.

The place is very clean and I notice they follow through on protocols ( important to me and my health) the background music is very soft jazz which is non intrusive but creates a lull. Love it! All the staff are compassionate and helpful from Carmen at front desk and Andy or Ryan (the therapist I have)- sorry I don't know all the staff yet.) I was referred (due to a very painful knee on certain movements) following my attempts to become more active. Now, I feel I'm on the right path but doing things at a correct pace and walking before I run.

Dr. Debbie came to me when she overheard I was complaining about some chronic neck injury issues…read more She was honest from the start, suggesting that she may be able to introduce new techniques to the plethora of different methods I've tried in the past to combat my pain/tension. I'm not only impressed with the results of her application of Graston, active release, and DNS therapies, I am also satisfied with the transparency she offers when discussing treatment with you. Together we have managed to improve my condition to a level where I am comfortable in my active daily routine and do not fear the sudden onset of neck pain and tension. I've been in 3 car accidents (one head-on collision that separated my shoulder), 2 motorcycle accidents (one that I sustained minor fractures in my neck), broken a collarbone, put my head through a plaster wall, landed on my neck multiple times doing acrobatics, separated my other shoulder ice skating, work an engineering desk job that is an ergonomic nightmare, and passed out on many of my friends dangerously uncomfortable floors.
