What Our Patients Say
Karen Beebe
I was referred to Jonson and am so grateful. He is so welcoming and friendly. And he is incredibly knowledgeable. He definitely understands the body and how it operates. But what I loved the most was how he got creative with the exercises I needed to rebuild my strength in a way that truly fits into my lifestyle. So for me, my exercises looked more like a yoga flow than static exercises. YAY. I got to keep doing what I love while at the same time rehabbing my body. Highly recommend this practice and Jonson.
Drew Himel
Dr. Jonson and his entire Direct Orthopedic team are incredible, he spent a lot of time better understanding my injury and thoroughly explained what was going on with my body and the appropriate exercises to help ease the pain and prevent future injuries. I’ve been to a lot of other physical therapists where they barely spend any time with you and give you exercises to do while seeing lots of other patients. That was not the case with Direct and can’t recommend their services enough. Thank you again for all your help.
James Beebe
My PT is the greatest PT one could ask for. She lives what she preaches, focus on the patient. She kept on schedule was prompt with any changes, excellent communication and excellent knowledge of the muscular skeletal arrangement and remedial approach to getting me back in shape. (total hip replacement) A wonderful rehabilitation experience (A+)
