We are considered an out-of-network provider. This allows us to treat you in a 1-on-1 setting where you will only be seen by a Doctor of Physical Therapy who comes up with an individualized plan of care not dictated by insurance companies. That means you get treatment that is determined to be best for you by your Physical Therapist and not just what insurance companies will cover, which results in faster recovery and optimal results!
