What Our Clients Say
I have been a client since 2014 at which time I had my first of many surgeries. I started out with back surgery where my L 4 was fused with my L 5. I went through about two months of PT on my back and fully recovered from it. Then later in same year, I had my first knee replacement, followed by the other knee the following year. Then two carpel tunnel surgeries. Each time after each surgery, I underwent PT and received excellent care from Larry Bryant. They’re taking very good care of my mom- She said they’re kind, friendly and knowledgeable.
I can’t say enough about this facility which enabled my body to recover 100%. At present, I am walking so much better and I have no joint pain anywhere!
All of his staff are very competent in what they do.
I still patronize them, as I am part of his “WELLNESS” club in which I still can work out and use the machines that I used in my PT. This is key in keeping my body flexible and in excellent working condition!
Thank you Larry, Mike and Brett and your staff for ALL you do for ALL your patients!!
