Comprehensive Orthopedic Physical Therapy is the best physical therapy center I have ever been to – by far… seriously, by far the best! I recently changed physical therapy centers because I wasnt happy with my previous location and thought there might be something better out there. I feel so, so lucky to have found Comprehensive Orthopedic Physical Therapy; this place has actually made doing PT enjoyable! The team at COPT is amazing, and it’s just that – a team – not just a staff; it’s clear that they enjoy their work and each other. My physical therapist is Payal Patel who has her doctorate in physical therapy. Payal is absolutely dedicated and knowledgeable; she pays close attention to me as an individual patient – both in terms of her hands on attention during my PT sessions and in terms of my ongoing PT regimen, which she is always developing and tweaking – she is precise about proper form and she doesnt let me slack. But at the same time Payal is such a pleasure to work with; she’s lighthearted, approachable, relaxed and fun. She listens closely to my questions and concerns and I can tell that my individual care is a priority to her. Christine is the therapist assistant that I work with and she’s the best! She’s such a pleasure and such a big help. If I’m not working one-on-one with Payal then Christine is helping me out with the equipment, checking in to see if I need anything or watching my form – she also doesnt let me slack. Even though she is an assistant and not a physical therapist per se Christine is attentive, knowledgeable about proper form and implementation and she clearly takes her work very seriously. And that’s the thing – everyone at COPT takes their work very seriously and yet it’s not a serious, dreary place; it’s a fun, lighthearted place – even if you happen to be doing some dreary exercises. Unlike just about every other physical therapy place Ive been to, at COPT from the moment my secession begins my therapist or assistant is either working with me hands on or watching me closely. I always feel like a priority. Ive been going there for months now and the attention that I got in my most recent session seemed just as focused as in my first session. Again, this place is unlike any physical therapy Ive been to, where often after a few weeks you are left alone to do your own thing. Although I don’t typically work closely with George Gendy (the owner and lead PT) or Liz (his assistant) they are both always very helpful, personable and upbeat and of course, if they ever catch me, they also don’t let me slack! George has created a real special place in Comprehensive Orthopedic Physical Therapy where the skill and focus of the team is matched by their warmth, their sense of humor and their ability to enjoy their job and their patients. I should also mention that theyve got lots of different types of equipment and none of it’s old – this place is modern. Though I’m not currently working on my arthritic knees, I’m looking forward to one day trying out this anti-gravity treadmill thing theyve got – it’s like a treadmill that can somehow let you run/walk at like 1/5 your body weight or something like that. Kinda crazy. Anytime I get excited about using some treadmill, you know that’s some next level stuff. In any case, the facility is bright and modern and theyve got lots of different equipment available. Free coffee in the waiting area to is also a plus. Again, I could not be happier with Comprehensive Orthopedic Physical Therapy; I could go on and on about them! Check them out. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Several months ago I was diagnosed with an MCL sprain from a dance injury. I was told to find a physical therapist and after seeing the Google reviews, COPT was my number one choice (I mean really if you cant trust Google who can you trust?). I wasnt sure how long it would be before I was back doing the one thing I loved the most. I imagined that in a few short weeks Id be back to jumping, leaping, turning etc... right? WRONG! George did an amazing job with explaining what my injury was and always provided a realistic scope for recovery time. I was impatient but he was supportive and firm even while I cried tears of pure frustration one day on the stationary bike. (Its okay to laugh at this now.) Not only did I receive quality care and an exercise regimen that was well-tailored to fit my needs, I also regained a lot of confidence. Its impossible to not feel better about yourself when you have an entire staff welcoming you by name and cheering you on. I am especially grateful for Lauren who worked with me for most of time at COPT. She always had a handle on what exercises I needed to do, how to do them and kept a close eye when I planned to skip a few. Now youll never hear me beg or plead to be re-injured but I may stub a toe or two one day just to see these great folks again on a weekly basis! Thank you COPT for all youve done!!!

I cant remember how I came across this place the first time, but they were so good I came back for round two... My first program was prescribed by a doctor for my back (the 3rd or 4th lifetime attempt to reduce my back pain) and I havent had pain since, almost two years later. So six months ago when I was blindsided by a rare disease causing my hip to disintegrate, I expected to need PT again. My surgeon claimed I didnt. When I still couldnt walk without a severe limp and severe pain two months postop, and having to go back to a job where Im walking and on my feet 12 hours a day, I made the decision to go back on my own and got a script from my primary doc. This time around my new health insurance wouldnt cover COPT, so my options were to pay out of pocket at COPT or shop around for a cheaper place or one that might take my insurance. I didnt even have to think about it. Now, less than 3 months later and Im 100% sure thanks to Kate, Im walking straight most of the time, only limping slightly when I do limp, and in minimal pain. Given that my surgeon said total recovery could take up to a full year and Im only 4 months post op, Ill take it! Im forever grateful to this place and its been worth every penny. Hopefully I wont need PT anymore but if I do Im glad I know exactly where to go!

After presenting your physicians prescription, George Gendy, the Director of physical therapy reviews your medical history and asks how you got to the point where you need physical therapy. From that information he develops a program to improve your condition. Then he and his assistant therapists put you through your paces. Your body mechanics and degree of pain are continuously monitored and evaluated. The initial program may be continuously adjusted according to your progress. You can express what you feel--difficulty, pain. etc. Your doctor is appraised of your progress. When your physical therapy period ends and you have returned to normal and/or an acceptable condition you may want to continue exercising in the co-joined gym with its respective trainers. My experience has been a positive one. I had extreme pain in my right knee to the point that I limped when I walked and could not go up or down stairs in a normal fashion. After a couple of weeks with no improvement I went to an orthopedic doctor who, after x-rays and an MRI, prescribed physical therapy. After approximately 3 months of physical therapy, I was able to walk normally without pain and climb stairs carefully but normally.
