Dennis M from Douglaston underwent multiple spinal surgeries and was in need of out-patient physical therapy for pain relief and to strengthen his legs and improve his balance and walking. To make matters worse his foot had developed numbness rendering him unable to drive. Dennis happened to notice an advertisement in his local church bulletin for a physical therapy office which offered courtesy rides to and from appointments for patients who were unable to drive. He thought he would give it a try so he called to make an appointment. Two days later Dennis met for a private evaluation
with a physical therapist and immediately a treatment plan was established to address his unique therapy needs. Dennis was scheduled to come to physical therapy appointments two times per week and he was placed on AgeWell’s courtesy ride program. Now, several months later, Dennis is pleased report that his walking is back to normal and he has achieved near full alleviation of pain. When asked about his experience at AgeWell, Dennis remarked, “I found the whole experience quite successful. The office staff is most friendly and the therapists and aides were excellent. I also appreciated that the owners are present and were always interested in and checking in on my progress.” AgeWell Physical Therapy appreciates having the opportunity to treat Dennis. They recognize that the work they do with patients like Dennis has a marked impact on their quality of life. The staff of AgeWell is most impressed with the hard work and dedication Dennis has shown concerning his therapy and they are especially pleased to see that Dennis is back behind the wheel and driving.
