“My physical therapist, Grettel Collins, is amazing. My back pain is gone and she educated me on what to avoid and exercises to prevent as well as reduce pain if it returns. She truly cares about her patients as is evident in every session. I am most grateful for all she has done to help me. In addition the entire staff is always so kind and helpful. It is a pleasure to go there and I feel well cared for.”

“Grettel is an excellent MPT. She is hands on and gets results unlike some places just have you do the exercises assigned and that’s it. She is a very nice, caring person. Your therapist make the big difference. Thank you!”- MS
