PATIENT SUCCESS STORIES
“Now I can walk without pain and without falling.” “Ikeptfallingandcouldnotwalkorshop. Ihadakneereplacement and was going to Babin PT four years ago. He did miracles on my right knee so I knew he would do the same again with my left knee. I walked in, got a great big hug and felt right at home. We talked and a plan was made for me to get better. Mike always checked on me during and after PT. He always said “goodbye and good job”. Mike encouraged me to do better every visit. I listened to him and his staff and did everything I was instructed to do. Now I can walk without pain and without falling. I loved going to every visit. Mike and his staff are so friendly I felt right at home, it didn’t feel like PT. I felt I was visiting family three times a week. Steve, Robbie, Joseph and Jen were wonderful and they kept me going. Leah was so warm and friendly and would always talk after therapy. I will miss my family. If I ever need PT again, the only place to go is Babin Physical Therapy. Love you all and I will miss my family.” -Hazel Scalia
