Yesterday was my first initial visit with Dr. Lyndsay. Needless to say -- I left her office crying…read more Crying from relief. Prior to visiting her I had gone to another chiropractor who diagnosed my injury wrong after only spending 5-10 min tops with only asking me questions and then proceeding to adjust me and when a "crack" was not made they had said "I'll see you at your next appointment. Next appointment came around and 5 min in with an unsuccessful adjustment they replied "I'll see you at your next appointment". At that point I knew they were not the right people to go to. Found Evolved on Instagram later that night, their IG and website was very informative so I sent an email. Got a reply the very next morning from Rhylee and she was able to schedule me in the very next morning. First impression of this was a good sign I made the right choice. With having a bad experience with the previous chiro I was not a expecting much. But Dr. Lyndsay blew me away. Her attention to detail, patient awareness, her making me feel comfortable was nothing short of amazing. This first visit was an hr long and she took the time to understand my lifestyle and assess my injury accordingly which in turn was a completely different diagnose then what was originally thought of from the previous Dr. At the very end she was able to adjust me and that's where I lost it. I got teary-eyed and couldn't thank her enough. I drove home crying to my fiancé because I was so relieved after having to deal with this injury for 2 weeks with no rhyme or reason. I still have more visits until I'm completely healed but having been able to get some peace both physically and mentally from Dr. Lyndsay in the first visit is astounding. I Highly highly recommend Dr. Lyndsay. She's knowledgeable in her practice and her patient awareness is top notch!

I'm so happy & hopeful to return to Bay State Physical Therapy in Chelmsford. Mike & his team truly…read morecare about your health care more than any other medical professional in any field that I've encountered!!! I have dealt with chronic pain including myofascial pain & a connective tissue disorder, among other symptoms & accidents, for over 13 years now. I was going to another location that completely(!) dropped the ball, and did not provide the level of care & support needed for a more complex case, or even a basic one. I was lucky enough to get into Mike's schedule again, and even the hour drive there, and back, is completely worth it. I'd rather drive an hour to and from Chelmsford twice a week to receive quality care that I know will help me get stronger & manage my symptoms, rather than drive 5 minutes to a place that honestly made me hopeless (again) and feel like I was never going to get better, and that they did not care in the least. The experience here with this team is nothing short of extraordinary. They also will help with providing any resistance bands you need for home exercises without giving you a hard time about "what insurance covers." They provide cupping, dry needling, etc. and are flexible with allowing you to use the space for your exercises as long as you need. Mike has an extensive education in sports medicine and how the body actually works from an experienced perspective, not just from reading books exclusively. He has a very hands-on approach, which is necessary for certain ailments to be able to handle certain exercises. He's said he has had the same training as any other physical therapist, so it goes to show that other pts at other locations don't apply what they learned in school. Any question you have about your body, or exercises to do or not do, he has the answer based on your personal situation. Not only that, I've worked with others at this location who are trained with Mike so you're in good hands no matter who you see here, or at their location in Billerica. Special shoutout to Lisa, Caroline, Snowy, Dante, & Bella who've all been super helpful & supportive. Caroline & Snowy have been helping me with dry needling, and they are extremely caring and compassionate. Lisa is an absolute angel at the front desk. If you want to be taken seriously and given the opportunity for real results that improve your daily life, this is the place to go. I would put anything on it. Thank you Mike & team, the work you do to genuinely help others heal is priceless. You are so important & inspiring. I truly can't thank you enough for providing the care and compassion the world desperately needs.

I recommend the surgeons at Orthopedic Associated of North Chelmsford, MA. As a retired RN with…read moreO.R. experience, I tend to be very critical of surgeons. Since 2019, I've had several procedures to alleviate the pain of osteoarthritis. First, a left rotator cuff repair then, in the fall, a left knee replacement, by Dr. Scott Sigman. High praise for him and his team. I had minimal post op pain and was walking the day of surgery. Several years later I had the pleasure of bilateral hip replacements, 1 yr apart, by Dr. Stephen Designa. Again, minimal post op discomfort and, with physical therapy, return to normal with no more pain. And such tiny incisions--I can barely see them! Thank you and bless you, Dr. Designa. Now, in 2026 I'm back for more magic, seeing Dr. Howard Wu for bilateral shoulder arthritis . He is urging me to have the surgeries, first the left which is giving me the most discomfort and limited range of motion, then, after a time, the right. But, since I'm elderly and also caring for my disabled husband, I've been putting it off. He's right,of course, I need them ,and I'm not afraid but he listens to me and, I think, understands. It's comforting to know that, when I'm ready, he'll do his best to give me real golden years. We baby boomers are lucky. Modern technology and talented surgeons. Replace the old, worn out joints and we'll feel better. Maria S, Lowell, MA August 2026

Dr. Steven Alter never denied my requests for out-of-work notes, and I appreciate that. I did not…read morehave surgery with him, so I can't comment on his surgical skills or outcomes. From my experience, I felt his bedside manner could be better. I often left feeling like my injury and concerns were being minimized and that I wasn't being fully heard. My impression is that he has a very direct, surgeon-focused approach, which may work well for some patients but wasn't the best fit for me. I can't say he's a bad doctor. However, beyond providing me with time off from work, I don't feel much was done to fully evaluate all of my complaints. For example, I never received comprehensive strength testing for the various issues I reported. One thing that also concerned me was that the office seemed to use a standard template in the medical notes. Some of the statements about my care did not accurately reflect what occurred during my visits, which I found frustrating. I've also spoken with three other people who were not particularly happy with their experiences when I mentioned Dr. Alter. Of course, that's anecdotal, and it doesn't mean he isn't an excellent surgeon. This review is simply my personal experience as a patient. I will say Amanda the medical receptionist was great, every request I asked for, she promptly responded to me with the information I needed.

I began seeing Dr. Gerber after I had a snowmobile mishap and had a hairline fracture on my hip, resulting later in a torn meniscus because of how I favored my leg. I continue to see Dr. Gerber for Patellofemoral Syndrome a.k.a. runners knee. Dr. Gerber has worked with me on pain management, which doesn't resolve taking pain medications. He's provided me with at-home stretch exercises, as well as physical therapy. I also get bilateral knee injections to help relieve bone-on-bone degeneration. Dr. Gerber has always "listened" to how I was feeling to come up with the best treatment plan for me - no two patients are the same. When I have my office visits, Dr. Gerber always asks not just about me, but also about my son (he had a health scare 5 years ago). He also talks about his family and grandchildren (one of his daughters has twins on the way) and has another grandchild. He's an MD first of course, but also a great human who cares about his patients and overall well-being. In 2022, I moved an hour and a half away from his office. Because he is such a great MD and human, I drive an hour and a half for a 20-minute appointment which speaks volumes in itself. My husband is also a patient who has had bilateral rotor cuff/bicep tear surgery. I've always been greeted pleasantly from my arrival to the nurse escorting me, to the x-ray techs, his secretary, his PA, and so forth. Everyone makes me feel welcome, and I see the same care and respect for other patients. I will continue to be a patient of Orthopedic Surgical Associates and recommend them and Dr. Gerber for the best care. I know you won't be disappointed.

During each session, he had me perform the same exercises, one of which caused significant pain. I expressed my concerns to Brent about this exercise, but he continued to include it in my routine. Eventually, I decided to stop therapy with him.

After discontinuing therapy with Brent, I noticed a significant decrease in my pain levels. I have since started working with a much better, more knowledgeable therapist, who is addressing other areas of my body that have been contributing to my knee pain.
