I am a new patient at Park Physical Therapy.
I want to be honest with you from the start. I never believed in physical therapy, as much as I believed in Chiropractors.
When I separated my shoulder this past Sunday the Dr. advised me that I should get some PT. I was reluctant, but I did.
I was all ready to tell you that I'm coming once or twice and that's it.
First was your receptionist Robin at the front desk. Her first words were good morning and how do you feel today.
This took my poor attitude and threw it out the window. I replied not so good, but thank you for asking. She then advised not to worry that they will take good care of me. I smiled. She has been a pleasure every time I came in, and also remembered my name. That's huge for me. Good morning Mr. Corrado always sets the tone.
The first day and each day after, I waited for about 3 min. Yes 3 min. and was taken inside. On the first day I was greeted by Mr. Travis Tennie, DPT. He sat me down and discussed in detail my injury and then explained what they can do for me.
He was kind and professional to say the least. He brought me into a very clean and active PT area. I don't need to go into details on the work he performed, but I can tell you I started to feel very comfortable there and relaxed. Just so you know I had a shoulder injury that has floored me. I was already feeling better with the work Travis was doing.
The next DPT I met was a Mr. Jarrett Parks, what an absolute gentleman and professional. He was a great conversationalist. He made me feel very comfortable, constantly asking me how I was feeling and seeing if I was in any pain as he worked on me. I been back three times so far and I always was happy to have Jarrett work on my shoulder.
This gentleman knows what he is doing and I can tell you he is one of the main reasons I want to go back.
I explained to him that I was leaving for vacation, he made sure he gave me the correct exercises and treatments I can do myself while I was away.
I'm sorry, I don't know the name of the young man Jarrett but me with to show me the exercises, but I believe he was new and still in training. What I liked about him was he asked questions. That's important. I am all about learning, but you can't take chances with an injury. He spoke to all of the DPT's there to make sure he was doing each one correctly on himself first, and then asked me to follow. I believe one of the guys he asks besides Jarrett was John (Jack) Bianchini, DPT, CSCS. He made sure that the exercises were correct.
The professionalism at this PT was 100% and they even joked a bit which is helpful because all the patients are in some sort of pain, and laughing a bit helps with that. Even the owner Mr. Raymond Cecora, PT, DPT, MS, CEAS, CPT. (wow a lot of titles.!) kidded with me a bit as he was working on someone next to me. He made his staff feel comfortable and you can tell they all like working there.
I must also point out that all the therapist talk to each other about what to do with certain patients. They are constantly teaching the newer therapists what and how to do things. Again this brings up your confidence in the staff.
After three days I feel 80% better, and all my attitude toward Physical therapy has changed forever.
Thank you Park PT you are the best.
P.S. I met a friend of the family there as well, I haven't seen her in at least 5 plus years. She was a close friend of my sons. Her name is Nicole Brock, DPT. Even though she was not able to work with me. I did watch her and see how nice she treated her patients. Always with a smile and always very concerned on their treatment. You can tell she was a professional.
Thank you Park PT, thank you. read more
