I first came to Reid Clinic about two years ago, in excruciating pain from a herniated disk in my neck. Id seen two neurosurgeons. The first told me I needed fusion surgery and nothing else was worth trying. The 2nd told me he gave me 50/50 odds of needing the surgery within 3 months, but that I could try physical therapy in the meantime to see if it relieved some pain. He was discouraging, but I wanted to do whatever I could to avoid surgery. Reid and his staff were awesome. His clinic offers a friendly and professional environment. I appreciated that he worked directly with me on every visit, so I could trust that I had consistency in my treatment, as opposed to other PT offices Id been in the past where I saw a different practitioner every time. Reid encouraged me to give it time, consistency and patience, and it did take all three! Some days I was stunned at the relief I felt, and some days my pain was back to a 9 out of 10. But even on those days when I wanted to give up and go for the surgery, Reid talked me off the ledge and helped me work through it. Within about 6 months, my neck pain was down to a tolerable level. In that time, Reid also helped me learn what I was doing in my daily life (posture, sleeping position, even the height of my desk chair and computer monitor) to aggravate my condition, so I could correct those. In less than a year, my neck was 90% better. It only hurt on days I really aggravated it, and I had several pain-free days every week. Now two years later, my neck is 100% healed. I cant even remember the last time I had pain. I am forever thankful for Reid and his staff for helping me avoid surgery!

Ive been to a number of physical therapists in the past. Reid and his whole clinic are lightyears better than anyone else! I lost both my ACL and MCL ligaments in my left knee and had two surgeries within a month. When I started seeing Reid after all that, I was in non-stop severe pain and couldnt move my knee at all. Reid and his staff gave compassionate, expert, motivating, and personal attention to my recovery. I actually looked forward to going to PT each day. Its Reids own clinic, and he worked on my knee every time I was there. His small staff is composed of just four thoughtful, highly skilled and likeable assistants. Within a short time I knew everyone at the clinic, and they all knew my challenges and progress. Everyone there has great patience, attention to detail, expertise, and true devotion. They work as a team. The whole clinic has a very professional, friendly, calm, encouraging vibe. Every patient is treated with respect and close attention. Reid treats each patient as an individual and knows exactly when to to the next level of therapy, etc. Reids special skills in hand-on manipulation, on top of all his other skills, helped tremendously in my healing from all the muscle atrophy, swelling, and scar tissue. His patience and persistence were contagious. Over several months, I went from being unable to move at all to being able to walk again. I cant rate them highly enough! RB

For approximately the past five years, I have been a regular patient of Reid Kelley, PT, of Reid Kelley Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine. I was referred to Reid by the late Stephen Disch, Neurosurgeon, from Roswell Georgia. Dr. Disch, one of the most respected surgeons in the Southeastern United States, proclaimed Reid as the best physical therapist that he had ever had the pleasure to work with, and his assessment was completely on point. I personally have had two cervical surgeries in the mid 90s which has necessitated continued follow up with Reid. In addition , I have developed two herniated disks in my lumbar region which began to limit my activities. I have found Reid to be a truly great professional and an experienced practitioner, who has helped me immensely with controlling my pain and avoiding prescription pain killers and more importantly, additional surgeries. Reid is also a GREAT listener and always eager to tailor my treatment plan as necessary to achieve the ultimate goal of allowing me to enjoy a much enhanced quality of life. He also has the ability to put his patients at ease and takes the time to explain his plan of treatment. I highly recommend Reid to anyone seeking Physical Therapy and rest assured that you will receive the ultimate care under his practice and guidance. Sincerely, Mike Peyton

I am a 63 year old male with arthritis in both knees and a neck injury. My doctor wrote a script for me to visit the ReadClinic for physical therapy. I work for a living doing heating and air conditioning-install and repair and climb ladders, walk up and down stairs carrying heavy equipment every day. I thought, after my first visit, that this is the stupidest way to get better by more activity and exercise, I get more then enough on my job. Boy was I wrong. After eight 1 hour visits over an eight week period my neck and knees are improved more then I ever thought possible. Reid really works hard on the injured areas with massage above and beyond what I would have ever expected in both his time and personal energy expended. He really cares. The young woman that work along side him are really knowledgeable, friendly, and hard working on your behalf as well. My take on the whole health care industry is that it is like a commercial cattle feed lot. Get em in, fatten em up, and send them on. Not at the ReidClinic, I was shown real care and attention that I never expected to find anywhere and it made a big difference to making me better. Bryant Baker

Personalized, expert and friendly care. That is 100% what you receive at Reid Clinic. A very important thing to me in health care is that I am a partner in the process. Reid takes the time to listen to what YOU tell him the problem is, in addition to a thorough review of what the referral says. And the listening is an integral part of the therapy all the way through, not just at the start. Reid continually asks how the injured or impacted body part is doing, and adjusts his approach if needed. He also is very willing to explain every part of the therapy process; questions are welcome and answers given in language anyone can understand. As others have already noted, the entire clinic staff is friendly and professional. Questions (email, phone or in person) are always answered promptly and with a smile. I would not hesitate to recommend Reid Clinic to anyone - if you are in need of physical therapy you will not find better care anywhere!

During my recovery from an accident involving a four wheeler, (broken leg, dislocated hip, multiple broken ribs and punctured lung) I was referred to the Reid Clinic in Roswell. I had heard good things and the location was very convenient for me. With Reids help and guidance, I bounced back to 100% in no time. As that injury was recovering, I knew that I would be back. I had been putting off full shoulder replacement surgery (on both) for many years. I knew that with Reids therapy, I was ready to get it done. Long story short: Left full shoulder replacement, November 2015. Right full shoulder replacement, March 2016. Finished therapy today, June 16, 2016. I am 100%, and pain free. I have excellent mobility, ad I am on the court in the gym regularly now. By the way, his staff is excellent as well. I am kinda going to miss him... Bob Miller
