Testomonials:
- "Nicole and Jeff - The entire experience at the clinic exceeded my expectations and, honestly, exceeded any other experience I've had with other clinics, including with the doctors I have dealt with in trying to deal with my foot and back pain. Nicole went above and beyond to help me find a doctor that could provide the level of care that one would expect based on my symptoms, and she was ALWAYS kind, compassionate, respectful, obviously experienced and knowledgeable, and concerned. I can't say enough about the level of professionalism and quality of care I received from both Nicole and Jeff. I also must commend Jeff for the way he approached PT with me. Jeff always explained what/why he was asking me to do, was encouraging to me when I struggled, listened intently to my concerns, and read my non-verbal cues, especially when I was challenged to do something he asked. I was impressed by Jeff's knowledge as he described to Nicole what he would recommend based on my symptoms. He obviously thoroughly understands the physiology behind what he prescribed. There is nothing I would recommend to improve my experience with the clinic. I would continue with my PT if my schedule eased up a bit. I am so thankful for this experience!" (anonymous)
