TESTIMONIALS

What Our Customers Say

I can’t say enough good things about Eric and the care he provided during my recovery after hip surgery. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive throughout the entire process.

When I first saw him for my evaluation, he listened intently and helped provide detailed information, explaining what was happening in my hip. After I had surgery, he was attentive to my concerns and provided much needed positive encouragement. When it was time to push myself, he tailored my care to exactly what I needed to get back to normal. If I ever need PT again, I will only go to Eric.

When your daughter tears her ACL, finding the right PT is crucial. Eric not only helped her get stronger physically, but also gave her the confidence and encouragement she needed when things felt difficult. We’ll always be thankful for the role he played in getting her back to doing what she loves.

I had a great experience with Eric! He was very knowledgable, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. He listened to any concern I had regarding my headaches and made sure I understood the issues causing my pain.

Eric was so great to work with after my ACL reconstruction surgery. He encouraged me to really push myself in such a kind, and knowledgeable way. Recovery from that surgery isn’t fun for anyone, but I felt so heard and supported by him. I got back on the volleyball court earlier than I anticipated and have had no issues since!

You can tell that he genuinely cares about his patients and their progress. I always felt supported and encouraged throughout my recovery. I’m so grateful for all of his help. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a physical therapist who truly cares.

Shouting out to Eric. His ability to understand how to build range of motion and flexibility while dealing with an old man with explosive sciatic nerve pain and recovering from a total knee replacement is amazing. I noticed improvement after just 1 visit. He is hands on and really thinks outside the box to modify his treatment. I am thankful for his care and the application of his vocation as a PT.
