Orthopedic Physical Therapy Associates LLC

Fantastic experience: I was fortunate enough to take a recommendation from a friend and have these fine folks work on my shoulder post R Cuff surgery. I had some complications during the surgery that complicated my therapy, and frustrated me as a first time therapeutic patient. Patti accepted the daunting task of working around this complication. And with my wining and crying, she, with great compassion, sympathetic and caring effort, has made my therapy turn positive. And I'm no easy patient. She even worked with me on her day off as I needed extra time because of the complication. Who does that? Amber at the front desk is awesomely efficient and on the ball, as are all the others working there. There isn't a better physical therapist in Lakeland, and I won't allow anyone else to work on me. There aren't enough stars.

Fantastic experience: Paul is a very well experienced physical therapist. He is very polite, professional, and attentive. The office was always very clean and the staff was always very friendly. I never waited more than a minute or two past my appointment time to be seen. The time spent with Paul was always very productive and he always addressed all of my concerns. I never left feeling like I didn't have all the information needed to heal quickly. The exercises he customized for me to do at home were very helpful and well explained. My recovery was always his top priority. I highly recommend Paul or anyone else in the office for your physical therapy needs.

Fantastic experience: I went to Orthopedic Physical Therapy Associates through a recommendation from my Yoga instructor. She said that Dr. Paul was very good at analyzing and recommending specific exercises and stretches to help with pain and heal the body naturally. Everything she told me was true and I was very pleased with the results that I recieved. I gained back all the mobility of my shoulder without the pain that i had. Thanks for the awesome results.

Fantastic experience: There are not enough positive things I can say about Orthopedic Physical Therapy Associates, I went through a long recovery from initial rotator cuff surgery repair, receiving physical therapy at a different location, continuing to have pain throughout my recovery and therapy. I sought out a second opinion, as to why I continued to have pain almost a year after the initial surgery from an orthopedic surgeon in another town. I felt confident with his assessment, recommendations and proposed "second surgery", to repair what was causing my continued pain. I now know, as a patient the importance of what"outstanding physical therapy" is. I thank the therapists after my initial surgery for helping me get my shoulder moving again, but, I feel if I had been with Orthopedic Physical Therapy Associates the first time, with their astute and dedicated commitment to exceptional care, the PT would have stopped and I would have been sent back to my original doctor (which by the way I did visit my first surgeon often in that year with complaints of pain), due to their hands on, 1 to 1 patient/therapist ratio. After my second surgery I knew I didn't just have to go where the doctor recommended, I could go where I felt comfortable and confident with the care (with insurance approval), but even with that, taking ownership of your care is so important !!! My therapist, Patti at OPT Associates, never left my side during therapy, she worked diligently with me, was extremely knowledgeable, warm and caring. She got to know me as a person and I felt I got to know her too. All in a professional setting. Th entire atmosphere was healing and nurturing. Again, after these years of shoulder pain and discomfort it's AMAZING to say I feel wonderful, with a stronger, healthy, but older shoulder. I know that I can always go back if needed, and they may see me again. There were times I didn't want to leave therapy...I felt very safe and secure in Patti's hands. The care, professional atmosphere, from the moment you walk in the door, all were handled (if even possible) perfectly. I am forever grateful for the PT and more I received at Orthopedic Physical Therapy. I would highly recommend this wonderful PT clinic to anyone, hands down. Thanks is not enough.....

Fantastic experience: Back in October of 2015 I was involved in a motorcycle accident and had a long road to recovery. I asked my doctor to refer me to the best physical therapist in Lakeland and without a doubt he said Orthopedic Physical Therapy Associates. In my time of recovery, I have been treated by every physical therapist there and it is safe to say that no matter who you are being treated by, the treatment you will receive here is exceptional. The difference you will see at this clinic is continuous personalized care from a physical therapist instead of starting off with a physical therapist and then being passes around to different physical therapist assistants. You will receive exceptional care in the clinic and then a personalized at home exercised plan with specific instructions between office visits. Personally, for the majority of my therapy, I have been treated by Ashley Hamarowicz, DPT and I absolutely love her. She is an unbelievably knowledgeable therapist and a key to my recovery! Every session is enjoyable yet challenging. I always leave feeling so much better than when I came and have seen amazing results because of her. I would 100% recommend Orthopedic Physical Therapy Associates to anyone who is looking to healing and getting better by a caring professional physical therapist in a beautiful clinic.
