West Florida Orthopedic Rehabilitation, Inc

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient for over 15 years because I keep injuring myself. Nita and Phil are excellent physical therapists. They have unique skills and wonderful personalities. Laura is amazing with her knowledge and memory. On a side note, Nita was the inspiration for my daughter to become a physical therapist .

Fantastic experience: Excellent, caring, personalized care with an effective & literal hands-on approach to PT. Nita expertly & efficiently found the source of my pain & relieved it in just a few sessions. She also equipped me with helpful exercises I can do at home to keep the pain away. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Nita! I’ve been to other places for physical therapy and this is by far the best care that I’ve received. She listened and customized her plan to address my needs. I’m so grateful that I’m now pain free - Nita is the best! I can’t recommend Nita and Laura enough for creating such a warm and inviting space for my body to heal!

Fantastic experience: Best therapy ever. The offices are clean and the staff is amazing. You are always greeted with a smile and they make you feel like family. I had lower back surgery and did therapy before but did not get the results I did here. I am beyond happy with my results and if I ever need therapy again I will be coming here. Me and my back are eternally grateful to West Florida Orthopedic. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Nita and Phil are hands down the very best physical therapists in the Tampa Bay area. They helped me reach my rehabilitation goals by creating and executing a tailored treatment plan to address my recent shoulder injury. They use a hands-on approach and truly care about their patients. My family and I have used this practice many times over the years and each time the results have been excellent! I am so grateful to be pain free again thanks to them!

Fantastic experience: Extremely professional and truly a great place to recover at! The office staff is always flexible and accommodating enabling you to get in when you need to get in and as frequently as you need to progressively heal and make gains to get back out and do what you love to do. Nita and her husband are great people serving there community! I highly recommend West Florida orthopedic rehab to anyone and everyone especially my veteran friends and active duty and their spouses ! RS Brian vukelic

Fantastic experience: One of the best physical therapy’s I’ve been too. They helped heal my shoulder and they made me feel welcomed the whole entire time. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

Fantastic experience: I had torn my ACL in high school and had a reconstructive surgery. Nita was the best therapist I could ask for. She helped my knee get back to the strength it had before, and I was back to playing sports as soon as possible. I have not had any issues, not even the smallest, and it's been almost a year now. Nita's work environment was fun and productive. She builds a real relationship with her clients that carries on outside of therapy as well. Very highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Nita is the consummate physical therapist. She is caring, personable and most of all, highly knowledgeable of rehabbing all that needs repair in the human body. She was an integral part of my successful outcome post total knee replacement surgery. An extra bonus is the very personable and accommodating office staff who makes scheduling so seamless.additionally, Nita fosters a very congenial environment among the other patients. She really rocks!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Nita's magical hands. She has seen me through a few injuries and really turned things around for me while other PT places couldn't. She's not only an amazing PT, but also a wonderful soul. You always end up feeling good inside and out. Thank you to Nita, Laura, and all the staff!!!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Nita for helping rehabilitate my knee and my hip. You quickly found the issues, helped eliminate the pain and most importantly taught me exercises to prevent it from happening again and strengthen my muscles properly. Highly recommend West Florida Orthopedic!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to several PT locations in the Tampa area and this location is by far one of the best. Nita and Laura are extremely welcoming and understanding of every patients needs. They are extremely understanding with scheduling and flexible to make sure you get your sessions in - extremely helpful when life gets busy. Nita takes the time to listen and truly understand the root of the problem instead of jumping straight to exercises. This welcome environment has allowed me to look forward to every one of my PT sessions.

Fantastic experience: My family has visited West Florida Orthopedic for multiple issues. Nita is absolutely fantastic. She takes a hands-on approach and really works with you to identify the root cause of the issue. We so thankful to have found her. She cares so much about her patients and the office staff is wonderful too.

Fantastic experience: I've been to a good bit of PT over the years and never really felt it made much of a difference. The approach Nita used was completely different and it has worked so well! She is also a lovely person who clearly cares about her patients. The whole office is wonderful. 100 stars!

Fantastic experience: I have been here for after my knee surgery , back and shoulder surgery and every time both owners want nothing but the best for you, even if you are unable to go they will provide you stuff you can do at home. Would I recommend this place ABSOLUTELY, you want to get better go here

Fantastic experience: I visited this rehab clinic on several occasions due to sports and pregnancy related injuries. Nita is so knowledgeable in this field and she takes the time to really understand the whole picture of what is going on so that she can treat her clients with the best possible rehabilitation plan. She also makes the experience fun. It’s a happy and positive environment where patients are laughing and interacting with the therapist and one another.

Fantastic experience: Nita is amazing! I look forward to every single visit. She makes me feel very comfortable and I have seen incredible improvements since starting PT with her. Laura in the front is also wonderful and she always makes me feel welcome. 10/10 practice and I would recommend Nita to anyone who needs a PT! She has changed my life for the better.

Fantastic experience: Attentive, knowledgeable and showed sincere concern for my issue. Very satisfied with results of therapy. Issue resolved quickly! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Nita is an excellent PT. Attentive and creative, gets excellent results, always hear very good feedback about their care. Great communication about plans of care.

Fantastic experience: Nita is simply amazing! Her warm and nurturing demeanor made me feel comfortable right from the beginning! She provided helpful exercise tips and advice that helped my injury tremendously. I would highly recommend West Florida Orthopedic Rehabilitation...very knowledgeable and great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Nita and Phil Smith are excellent and caring physical therapists. I have been to many in my day. There are few therapists these days trained in the hands-on methodology - really the best way to get an accurate and complete diagnosis and resulting care. They have the skill and knowledge but more than that they truly care about your health and recovery.

Fantastic experience: Cannot say enough about the service I was given at West Florida Ortho. Nita is amazing! It was like hanging with a friend while going through so much difficulty and made it less stressful overall. If it wasn't for her I would not be walking. She always gave me hope and made me feel like I would see the light at the end of the tunnel of a serious injury. I highly recommend West Florida Ortho for all rehab needs and will be sending as many people as possible their way. They are rock stars!

Fantastic experience: Nita provided a great service that was individualized to me based on my condition and end goals.

Fantastic experience: As someone who has experienced large amounts of pain, I can tell you that there is no one better than Nita and Phil. Both are incredible at their jobs. They are professional and take the time to really understand the problem. More importantly then that, they take the time to get to know you. They treat you as if you are their priority. Not your money, or your insurance, but you and your pain. That doesn't happen at other locations. I have had 7 surgeries in my life and lived in rehab facilities. Some corporate, others as a member of a very prosperous MLB organization, and none compare to this family runned institution. There is none better.

Fantastic experience: 6 Stars!! Right knee ACL and Meniscus repair. Non-weight baring for 6 weeks. 1 year of rehab/recovery. 1st appointment was the day after surgery. From start to finish this has been the best medical care I have received, being in the military. Nita and Laura ensured my appointments (initially 3 days a week) were scheduled to best suit my needs. The pain after my surgery was eased everyday from the laughter and accomplishment I felt, as Nita ensured I hit all of my post-surgery goals. Within days my I had full range of motion, at the 6 week mark I was up and moving. Nita continued to keep me level headed (I'm a man) reminding me not to push to hard and re-injure myself. Soon Nita and Laura became family and I looked forward to my time with them. The passion Nita has for rehabilitating her community can be seen the instant you meet her, everyday you are greeted as if you are best friends, you are given undivided attention and care throughout your recovery. I have since moved overseas and Nita continues to checkin on my recovery. Again this is the best medical care I could ever hope to have received!

Fantastic experience: Laura and Nita have definitely made my PT experience great! They are knowledgeable and accommodating. I contracted a rare pain syndrome and Nita was able to help me get my range of motion and reduce the sensitivity so I could have a much better QoL. Love the atmosphere and the family feel that they have!

Fantastic experience: Nita did a great job helping me though multiple issues over the years. She knew exactly what to do for everything I described. Front desk is excellent in accommodating your schedule! If you need PT for any reason this is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: Really helped out a lot with neck and back issues. Helped me get back to playing baseball.

Fantastic experience: Laura is absolutely a 5 star employee! Very kind and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Nita and Phill have a wonderful facility. The receptionist Laura is super friendly and helpful with everything. They make you feel like part of the family and not just another patient. My treatments with Nita is informative, educational and practical- focused on getting me back to doing the things I love to do. I’ve been to several physical therapists for my hip issues and Nita is the only one in 3 years that looked at my whole movement pattern. Definitely recommend this practice.

Fantastic experience: Locally owned and operated by a husband and wife team, I can not say anything negative about this establishment. They treat every patient that walks in the door like old friends and keep up with treatment procedures and offer sound advice for those wanting to get better. Very flexible with scheduling options and understanding that life throws curveballs and wont detract on you if you have to miss an appointment. Proud supporter of our Nations military and earnestly displays it in the rehabilitation area. Both husband and wife are people that you just want to hang out and have a beer with, real down to earth, honest and friendly people. Wish you guys nothing but the best and thanks for putting all my aches and pains in the closet so I can get back to my old self.

Fantastic experience: Nita at West Florida Orthopedic is a life saver! I've seen her several times for two separate issues - a pinched nerve in my neck and severe calf strain. I had attempted every form of neck treatment prior to seeing her - including physical therapy - and was resigned to a vertebrae fusion when my wife recommended Nita. Several visits later I was pain free and able to work, and she later worked the same magic on my calf - taking me from limping to running a half-marathon in a matter of weeks. Her in-depth, careful evaluation of my symptoms and personal attention during each treatment is exceptional, and unlike any other medical service I've received. She is always upbeat, happy to see you, incredibly knowledgable, and I can not recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been recovering from my knee surgery and these folks have been wonderful to put me back into a healthy self. I had to use both of their locations due to my work schedule and I have been very pleased with their professionalism. They took time to make sure my rehab was going how it was supposed to. It is difficult to find people who care in the medical field. Thank you!
