YOU DO NOT NEED A REFERRAL FOR AN APPOINTMENT

“Thank you all for helping me improve my quality of life!” “I want to thank Johnston PT for the great care received while being treated here. When I came in the doors, I could barely move my neck, back, and shoulder blade. I was in horrible pain. Now today, as I walk out of JPT, I feel great! Dave was fantastic to work with. He was constantly looking for the source of the pain, provided a lot of encouragement when the recovery was slower than I had hoped and provided me with the exercises I needed for home “work.” Dave also made me feel comfortable with the entire process and he referred me to another PT in the clinic, Bekah, for some dry needling work which was fantastic. Thank you all for helping me improve my quality of life!” -Sharon W.
