PTA student (Former Employee) – Ypsilanti, MI – March 14, 2012
I did one of my clinicals at Quantum Physical Therepy. I clinic was an energetic and comforting establishment. Employees work well together and patients are happy with there outcomes.
I have been going to Robert, the owner and main physical therapist, since 2012. I have reoccurring pain in my shoulder, neck, and back from a car accident. Each time I have gone to Robert, he has helped me tremendously to decrease the pain and get my life back on track.
What makes the experience unique at Quantum Physical Therapy as oppose to other places is the personal attention from Robert and his staff. He genuinely cares about your well being. Most patients like myself are suffering from debilitating pain, it helps tremendously to know that he actually cares about that. You are not just another patient. He takes his time to get to know you, works with you on your personal recovery goals. He is clearly knowledgeable about physical therapy and he takes his time to tell you why your body is behaving the way it is and how you can help it be better. He listens to your needs and goals for recovery. When I wanted to give up ever getting better he encouraged me that it will get better and he was didn’t push me too hard. When I was all gungho about doing every exercise, he wisely cautioned me to slow it down. He was right ever time. He knows what he’s doing.
I’ve been to other physical therapist and I was not satisfied. I wanted to quit going to physical therapy long before my subscribed period. The PT barely spoke to me, they never explained what they were doing or why. There were often so many PT’s you had a different one each time you came in. Quantum Physical Therapy is not like that. There is a very caring and friendly atmosphere and that helps the healing process tremendously. It was the only time in the day I felt like it was “take care of me time,” because that’s how they made me feel I finally was able to relax and loosen up a lot of tension. Now I get anxious when my sessions run out and wonder if I will qualify for more time.
Quantum Physical Therapy has always been very flexible about scheduling. They do their best to give you the time slot you need. They are also courteous if you need to change your schedule. They have also worked patiently with me to be reimbursed by my insurance companies and they are good about helping you with your paperwork for insurance companies.
Unfortunately due to the nature of my injuries, I seem to need ongoing physical therapy to keep the pain at bay So I’ve spent a lot of time at Quantum and I have overheard a lot of conversations from patients. I have never heard of anyone being upset or unhappy with their visit.
If you are a person who really needs a therapist that cares about your recovery then Quantum is the place.
