I've recommended Optimum to several people and will continue to do so.
I was referred to Optimum by my primary care physician even though the facility has it's own in house PT department. I found everyone at Optimum to be very friendly, caring and thoroughly trained and knowledgeable with their job.
Upon entering the facility the receptionist makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. After the first visit she knows your name and remembers what area of the body you are there to have treated.
I was having treatments for lower back pain which subsided after a month of visits and was able to discontinue treatment. However, after being away from therapy for 3 1/2 months I found myself returning for treatment to my knee and as soon as Megan heard my name over the phone she asked me how I was feeling and how my back was.
I find Margaret to be exceptionally skilled in providing treatment and very thorough when she does the initial intake evaluation. She asked many questions about my condition and offered advice on how to avoid further injury and ways to deal with the pain. Margaret also is extremely friendly and goes out of her way to make the patient feel comfortable when receiving treatment.
