What Our Patients Say
My PT therapist is great. Very knowledgeable and understands how to make your body perform to achieve the necessary goals. Thanks Dr. Johnson.
Mardi did an outstanding job of getting me on my “Hips”again ,her knowledge of making sure that I do the right things, her constantly educating me of what needs to be done so that I can do my favorite thing-being on a ski slope skiing -again.
was back on the slopes 11 weeks after surgery, and felt better than ever( never fell!)
Thank you much
Everything with direct orthopedic therapy has gone very smoothly. From the scheduling to the insurance to the therapist himself. Dr Jonson is very thorough in explaining your therapy, and how it all ties in together. I believe that understanding what is happening, and why, makes you a better patient. I am very pleased that my surgeon referred me to this practice.
