Our Success Stories

  • Exceptional care and treatment by Dr. Amy Zornow, a very experienced and highly qualified therapist. The staff are dedicated and the atmosphere of the clinic is both friendly and welcoming. I have had several PT sessions over the years at a number of clinics but none match 1st Choice Physical Therapy and I highly recommend them. Timothy H.
  • I have a personal problem - incontinence. You wouldn't think physical therapy an option WRONG…I went to 1st Physical Therapy & Balance, where Jodi my therapist treated me with total respect and privacy. I've had 2 sessions and exercises at home. GUESS WHAT ITS WORKING! Marilyn F.
  • They explain procedures to you and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. They are also polite and friendly which is a rare commodity nowadays. I intend to refer family and friends to them should the need arise. 1st Choice is just a pleasure to go to. Lawrence W.
  • Always on time! Helpful and friendly!! Went well beyond in providing information and instruction. My therapy was sensitive in nature but I was always put at ease and treate with respect!! Sally S.
