I’ve done plenty of PT with a knee replacement and shoulder issues, but Dr Angelina Johnson is simply the best! She’s prompt, professional and caring. She listens and provides excellent advice along with effective exercises for recovery. I appreciate this health care professional.

Dr. Bailee Croy has been my Physical Therapist since my Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement 2 weeks ago. Dr. Croy came to my home for a pre-surgery visit and instructed me as to possible hazards that might cause me to trip ie certain rugs as well as being aware of certain corners that were narrow as not to bump my arm once I was placed in the pillow sling. I have been following her advice to the T and continue to improve daily. Dr. Bailee, as I call her, is very gentle when adjusting my shoulder and knows just how far to move it as if she had a 6th sense. She is very sweet and very professional. Dr. Bailee inspires me to do my best but not to overdo so we don’t have a setback. Highly recommend her.
