“The Therapist, Maria, is a highly skilled and educated professional. She is extremely thorough giving excellent and gentle directions . Maria participates in the patient session–not just talks or stands using a computer! Maria is always watching details of each movement and repetition and correcting movements if needed and also gives gentle direction and encouragement. Front desk reception by Joe is beyond expectations. He is always above and beyond helpful, calm, encouraging and PATIENT! Joe is a true team player, always seeing what needs done and jumps to see the front desk runs smoothly! These 2 employees are why I highly recommend OrthoBethesda to everyone! They are the best asset of the practice! Thank you!”
