Penn Therapy & Fitness University City

Experiencia fantástica: my experience with Claire was very good. She helped me with the exercises I needed to help my back pains. I would give her 5 stars for her efforts. Thank you Claire!

Experiencia fantástica: Penn therapists are wonderful …Rachael made sure that she reviewed the doctor’s order frequently .. after providing strategies for coping and managing the pain she slowly pushes you toward managing on your own .. I improved under the care of these professionals … and have coping strategies for long term management ..

Experiencia fantástica: Patient and challenging, attention to detail and personable. It took several weeks to relieve the worst neck and shoulder pain/stiffness that I have experienced. I'm doing the home maintenance several weeks later and things are good. Props to Penn Shepherd.

Experiencia fantástica: I worked with Emily Steinberg for two bulging discs in my spine, doing McKenzie therapy. She was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and she helped my back heal quickly from a major injury without overwhelming me or asking very much of me. I would highly recommend her!

Experiencia fantástica: My PT Keith was great! He always had helpful exercises that addressed the pain I was having in my knee. He was attentive and always looking for different, more effective ways to improve my mobility and strength. Great PT, nice guy.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Good Shepard after my hip replacement surgery..my therapist Eric worked me at my pace but also challenged me to do better..he was also easy to talk to and very very knowledgeable.. he gave me all the tools I need to progress and get back to my physical best..I am grateful to have experienced Good Shepard...

Experiencia fantástica: I have used Good Shepherd for therapy several times. In every case it has been a benefit. Eventually, I am able to resume 80% to 100% of movement again. It is very good to be able to confidently put my trust in them.

Experiencia fantástica: Went in with chronic debilitating back and knee pain 12 weeks ago. Feeling so much better now after working with Nicole. She listened well and gave me many good tips. I can enjoy more activities now! I’ve got to do my part to keep it going but it is so gratifying to make so much progress without surgery or medication!

Experiencia fantástica: I was very satisfied with the service that I received on March 23rd, it turns out that I didn't even get the therapy that I thought I was going to receive because my condition was already better and I was told that I didn't have to do the Occupational therapy after all.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience at Good Shepard Penn Partners Therapy was pretty good from check in to check out. The personnel at check in were pleasant and quick to respond to you when you come in. They treat you with respect and try to handle any problems to the best of their ability. The therapist also treated me respectfully. She didn't have me waiting long for her to come out and get me for my session. She was knowledgeable in the area of my disability and always assisted me with my exercises. She made sure that I understood the exercises that she gave me to do at home before I left there that day. She always listened to what I told her about my pain and progress at home. She could give me other suggestions based off of what I said. I am much better off now from when I came there. Thank you Penn Therapy for helping me in my recovery.

Experiencia fantástica: Overall, I would rate it as excellent. Emily V., my therapist, was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the treatment and was able to answer all of my questions in great detail. She was of great help and the exercises recommended worked well on my back injury. Would highly recommend her as well as the entire facility as the rest organization appeared to be highly professional.

Experiencia fantástica: At 35 years old, I never thought I’d need to learn how to walk again, however that was my case after a complete Achilles tendon tear. From the staff who checked me in week after week, to my physical therapist, everyone was so warm and welcoming. I looked forward to coming here each time, improving in mobility and strength every session. My physical therapist, Alison, was exceptional in her skill and knowledge. Even with an unexpected setback of a partial re-tear, Alison helped me recover physically and at times mentally when I was either apprehensive or frustrated. We set achievable goals together for my recovery and I honestly could not have had a better experience.

Experiencia fantástica: During my time at Penn Therapy I was welcomed with a warm and nourishing environment. The therapists and other staff members were always patient and caring.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience at the University city location of Penn Partners. Great care, professional, only downside was it was hard to find my first time there! Arrive early.

Experiencia fantástica: Penn Therapy provides an excellent setting for PT, allowing my extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and patient Physical Therapist, Betsy, to be effective and truly do her best. She is exceptional in her ability to address issues with detailed, individually tailored exercise plans, giving cogent and insightful feedback and explanations. She helped me by creating a plan and guide to continue the exercises and refer to them for self-care when needed into the future. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience with Penn Therapy & Fitness, and specifically with Dr. Maria Tukis. She was warm, professional, and funny, and she made PT fun and personalized to my needs and strengths. She sees the best in people and doesn't make you feel embarrassed or bad about your injury or physical abilities. The front desk staff are also very friendly and competent. I definitely recommend Penn Therapy to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Penn Therapy is a very welcoming and friendly place. I really enjoyed going to my therapy appts. I had Lumbar Spine Infusion in July 2021 and a Left Hip Replacement in July 2022 and I had my physical therapy with Penn. They help me to get back on my feet. I was able to finish my therapy for my back but not quite for my hip but my therapist gave me some really good exercises to do at home and that's what I did to help myself heal as well. I would definitely recommend Penn Therapy for sure. Thank you to Ben, Collins, Richard and Nick all of whom I worked with for healing.

Experiencia fantástica: Went for Physical Therapy for my back pain. My PT worked with me on achieving the goals of more pain free mobility, from stretching and exercise to increase pain free mobility and ways to perform lifting functions with less stress on the body. It was a success and I am happy with my experience. My back pain is gone.

Experiencia fantástica: Very pleasant office staff. My PT experience was excellent. I learned a lot from my physical therapist and he was friendly and respectful. He was also very easy to talk to and answered many of my questions. I would definitely recommend this location for PT.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a positive experience at Penn Therapy & Fitness University City. My therapist and I really connected. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped me understand what things I could do to address my sciatic condition, while allowing me to have input in the program that we put together. I felt great progress throughout the program and received great support from my therapist. I highly recommend anyone that needs therapy to go to Penn Therapy & Fitness University City.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Alison was an absolute life altering pleasure. I'd had surgery for a ruptured Achilles and was relegated to my bed for months. She administered such a professional and tailor made plan that all my anxieties and worries were immediately washed away. I couldn't be happier with my experience and highly recommend her and Shepard to anyone requiring PT.

Experiencia fantástica: My therapist, Richard was awesome. He really explained the exercises I needed for every situation and the specific care for me. He even made very sure I was doing them correctly. I improved well under his care. Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a patient many times, for different problems, but this was one of the longest therapies. I think everybody is excellent, accommodating, intelligent, understanding. I knw Ben Lindaman best and I was glad to work again with him, but Emily and Colin were also quite good as was Cristina before my knee operation. I highly recommend Good Shepherd.

Experiencia fantástica: My physical therapist was awesome! Alison was thorough, even more importantly she kept things interesting by adding different exercises to keep me engaged.She is the best therapist I’ve ever had!

Experiencia fantástica: Patience, knowledgeable,caring, it was always clean and I felt better at the end of my therapy sessions. My therapist made sure I understood each step I went through. I recommend your services to everyone. More than satisfied.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was very polite and respectful whenever I came to physical therapy. Especially Emily P. She was a very nice n kind patient with me she really pushed me beyond my limits all the staff members here at Penn medicine is awesome great job. Thank you for all your help during my stay with you to help me regain my strength n balance. I really appreciate all of you and what you do to help people to recover. God bless each and every one of you.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with Penn Physical Therapy has been a very positive one. I regret that I had missed several appointments due to weather conditions and conflicts with other medical appointments. The home exercises that were given for me to do have been more helpful than I thought they would be. I have been pleasantly surprised by how much better I feel just from doing the recomended home workouts. I hope to return for regular visits soon.

Experiencia fantástica: Since this facility is partnered with Good Shephard I was only expecting the best but this facility exceeded my expectations. The entire department is always clean, organized and attentive to their patients. Every employee there are the most pleasant, friendly and professional. The best thing about this facility is that they offer evening hours to accommodate the Patients who work 9-5 during the week.

Experiencia fantástica: I would like to show my appreciation for the lady in MRI, Brooke. She made me feel so comfortable and explained everything step by step. That's a lot for a person like me, who gets very nervous about that machine and needles. Thank you very much Brooke. I hope you share this with her.

Experiencia fantástica: It's a great experience and it helps. The therapist are great and very pleasant! Only thing is the receptionist, some are good but some aren't. Need to learn how to speak to people and know the correct information.

Experiencia fantástica: My therapist was awesome. He listened to me and what I was going through. He was very knowledgeable about what I was going through and helped make great decisions about how to help me with the process of getting better relief. My therapist showed me great respect and dignity even when I didn't feel that way about myself. He was great for my situation and I thank him for all that he has done for me and I would definitely recommend services to anyone who needs therapy. Hopefully I won't need more therapy but if I do I definitely will come back to Penn Therapy &Fitness

Experiencia fantástica: Claire Todd is outstanding! My body thanks you for your help and patience! P.S. I know I said this already, but I'm honestly thinking about returning to you for my knees, give me a month, maybe a week! 100000/10 recommend her! Also, the staff is so helpful and friendly; I appreciate all of you!

Experiencia fantástica: For the past 20 years I’ve gone to a Good Shepherd facility whenever my old bones creaked loud enough for me to hear. The staff PTs have consistently been courteous, thoughtful and capable. Their efforts have resulted in my not needed surgical interventions. For which I remain grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: My son’s therapist was very informative and incredibly helpful with helping us contact a surgeon and the process of working towards getting ready for surgery. The experience was great!

Experiencia fantástica: Emily, my therapist was the best! She was very knowledgeable, kind, patient & concerned. The treatment plans she provided had me fully mobile in a very short time. The facility was state of the art and everyone was very friendly and caring. I have recommended Penn Therapy to others.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience here was great. I had to do therapy for my shoulders. Benton was my physical therapist and he is great! Definitely helped me gain my strength back.

Experiencia fantástica: The experience was good, and the therapist there were very nice. But unfortunately the therapy on my knees and back didn't really help. But continue to do the exercises at home. Thank you for trying to help.

Experiencia fantástica: My mom and I are very satisfied with our experience at Penn Therapy&Fitness University. My mom’s therapist are Emily VM (there has 4 or 5 therapist name Emily) and Nicholas. They are very professional and super sweet, every time when we been there for her therapy, my mom felt very heart-warming with their help. The staffs we met at that facility are also friendly and with patience.,no matter the front desk staff or when we call the phone for some issues we all get very satisfied response. Sincerely appreciated for their help and highly recommend this place for physical therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: My first day at Penn Therapy & Fitness I was a little nervous, I’d had therapy before so I wasn’t really looking forward to it but , I wanted to return to working and I needed to see where I was at physically. My Therapist was Nicholas Kuperman and he had an assistant. I’d like to say by the 3rd visit is when I knew I was at the right place and that these professionals knew what they were doing, what was most important to me was they were really good at explaining and demonstrating how you should be doing a particular exercise. As long as I did the homework and the massage they showed me I got better and better. Thank you Penn Therapy and your services were appreciated. I’m well on my way to recovery and I have my exercises to help me stay strong.

Experiencia fantástica: The facility is spacious and well run, but I especially want to give PT Alisha Trivedi a shout for the knowledge and motivation to help me muscle through 4 months of painful sciatica. The exercises, encouragement and insight she gave made all the difference. TY Alisha!

Experiencia fantástica: Keith was my primary physical therapist and he was excellent. He was able to pinpoint my problem area and within one session, he increased my range of motion in my arm from 40 to 80%. After that session, I only needed to go to physical therapy for only two more sessions. He was amazing and I would definitely return to this facility.

Experiencia fantástica: My physical therapist, John Barry, was the best. He was extremely knowledgeable, had a progressive plan each week, but was mindful of my limitations. He encouraged me to try to go beyond, but not to the point of hurting myself. He paced me. As a result, following a hip replacement and badly injured knee due to compensation, I can now walk comfortably without a cane, ride my bicycle outdoors, and I was able to enjoy a 9-day walking tour in Italy. It was the trip of a lifetime. Thank you, John...and the power of prayer.

Experiencia fantástica: Really great practice to deal with both administratively and with the practitioners. Nice and helpful staff. And a really attentive physical therapist who was really dedicated to my progress. Easy to schedule, etc. I would definitely work with them again.

Experiencia fantástica: My physical therapist's name is Emily VM and she is a dream! She is kind, thoughtful, and creative. When I came to her I was emotional because I thought no one believed me about my knee pain. She sat there and listened and reassured me that what I was experiencing was real. Then I messed up my back and she changed my program to accommodate both of my issues. She is funny and compassionate and I could not ask for a better experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I loved the therapy at Penn. The therapists listen to you as a patient and render service based on their knowledge and skills as well as the patient’s needs and desires. They are personable and encouraging. The therapists treat the whole person and not just the body part. I learned from them how powerful the mind and your thoughts are in treating an injury. Positive process equals positive progress. I owe so much to my therapists there. It’s not just one and done with what I learned from them. I still apply their treatment in my daily life. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Nicole was great! Very knowledgeable and patient . She helped me so much and understood my limitations. Kevin with whom I did Neuro therapy to improve my steadiness was kind and helpful. Today I had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. He said that I am doing well and don’t have to return to his office until the summer.

Experiencia fantástica: Marty at Penn therapy was awesome. I went to Penn therapy right from my surgery and everybody was extremely helpful kind and understanding. Marty was very helpful getting me started. I wish I didn’t live so far from the city I would continue doing my therapy there I only had one day right after surgery. I highly recommend them

Experiencia fantástica: Good shepherd has helped me out tremendously In my recovery. The therapists are highly trained and skilled . The service of this facility is greatly neededIs in the recovery for a whole lot of patience , Like myself. I truly feel the 2 trainers that I had and were the best trainers in the facility and and I will highly recommend them To any other patients thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: I am very happy with Penn Medicine overall and the physical therapy I have received is tied for the best experience of all my Penn encounters. The department is excellent and my therapist is wonderful. So kind and caring and gentle. I highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I visited the facility twice today. The initial intake process was smooth and professional. All the social distance protocols were meticulously observed. The assigned Therapist came to greet me and walked with me into the treatment area. Patient privacy was mindfully maintained. The therapist was personable and solicitous. Last but not least, the therapist skillfully attended to my issues and created a personalized therapy. All in all a great experience.
