How was your visit?
Pappas OPT in Wakefield has been wonderful for both me and my son. The entire staff treats you like family and works hard to help you recover/reach your goals. The physical therapists have given me life changing suggestions, advice and exercises. I feel better all day/week knowing that I am working on myself and seeing results. I highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Papas OPT in Wakefield highly enough. The team there has been treating me for preoperative shoulder strengthening and now postoperative rehabilitation for the better part of a year. I’ve had the pleasure of working with all four therapists (Kristen, Melissa, Bert, and Justin) that treat patients there. All four of them are extremely knowledgeable, caring, and personable. They have been consistently receptive to all of my concerns and goals throughout recovery from a challenging surgery. The support staff here have been amazing as well. Deanna at the front desk made sure any issues I had with scheduling or insurance authorization were dealt with quickly without any headaches. Shoutout to the rest of the support staff and student interns they all brought a welcome amount of knowledge and positivity to the whole experience.

This is a long overdue review. Anyone seeking physical therapy on the road to recovery and wants to feel beyond just a number should strongly consider seeking the services of pappas opt in Wakefield. The road to recovery is long for some and the excellent staff here makes you feel right at home. Even physicians and staff that you do not work with will know your name and champion your recovery. For me the staff provided more than just physical therapy and i am grateful to have had them in the struggles of my recovery. I got to watch how kindly all patients were treated and encouraged on days they didnt want to be there. A youthful staff learning from great mentors on their paths to be physicians was very encouraging for the future. I cant be grateful enough and hope someone seeking this experience sees this and decides to use the services provided here.

Pappas OPT has provided fabulous rehabilitative care for myself & my adult son. I began 2 years ago following extensive hip/partial leg replacement surgery in NYC. My recovery was 100% with their care.
Now returned recently for a torn ankle tendon (tibial) tear. Kudos to PT Director Kristin Riley for suggesting a needed MRI that showed this injury wasn’t just tendonitis as the orthopedist suspected. With Kristin’s direction, Ryan worked with me to strengthen my ankles, knees, & hips. Burt made some custome orthotics to better balance my (very flat) feet.
Each visit included a smiling welcome from the friendly front office staff, who easily accommodated needed scheduling changes.
My son greatly benefited with Pappas PT for chronic pain in his neck, shoulders, & knees, with Melissa, Keene, & other therapists.
We’re grateful for the wonderful care we received, & recommend them highly!

I started going to Pappas Physical Therapy in Wakefield this past June after spending months with another group where my knee just kept getting worse. I have bone-on-bone arthritis in my left knee, and by that point I had pretty much stopped all physical activity because of the pain. I wasn’t sleeping at night and was really worried about how I was going to keep up with the demands of my business during the busy holiday season.
From my very first visit with Bert Brier and his team, I knew I was in the right place. Bert is extremely knowledgeable and supportive, but he also pushes you in all the right ways. He had me working through the pain to build strength, and before long, I was back on my Peloton—something I had completely given up on.
I went three times a week over the summer, and the difference has been incredible. I’m now almost pain-free, sleeping through the night again, and back to my regular activities. I honestly thought knee replacement surgery was my only option, but now I’m holding off because I feel so much better.
I can’t say enough good things about Bert and everyone at Pappas. They truly helped me get my life back. If you’re struggling and need real results, this is the place to go!

Pappas OPT and the entire staff (I work mostly with Kristin) are awesome! They have rehabilitated me back after a total hip replacement in May. I'll be back to teaching mat pilates classes this fall and downhill skiing this winter! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Pappas helped me for my baseball injury. They know the most about sports injuries and how to get us as players back onto the field as soon as possible. Thanks Pappas! P.S. atmosphere in the building is awesome, thanks for making it a great place for athletes and everyone to get better!

Bert and everyone else gave me great personal care. On day 2 they knew my name making me comfortable and ready to go. The therapy was geared to my exact needs and encouraged me to 'go the distance'. In the end, I felt so much better.

I’ve found Pappas to be knowledgeable in whole body interactions. They not only looked at my foot issues from where I experienced pain but from the shoes I wore, the gait of my walk and the muscles in my legs.
The team consist of several physical therapist and a team of college students who are overseen by the experienced PTs. All are very warm friendly and caring.
My treatments always began with heat packs applied to my feet for 10 minutes to “warm up” my muscles then a routine of about 10 exercises to stretch and strengthen my muscles/tendons. At the end of each session I would have ice applied for 10 minutes. The exercises were explained and modeled and simple enough so I could and did do them on my own. I saw relief/ improvement after about 6 -8 visits.
They have quite a bit of equipment for dealing with various body injuries/ ailments. There are walls filled with pictures and testimonials from many former patients with a wide variety of conditions, which provides additional credence to their care and successful results.
I will use Pappas again should I need PT

Bert’s thorough intake evaluation reassured me that Pappas was the right choice. A welcoming professional staff and unique environment gives me a sense of membership in a community dedicated to personal wellness. Great place that has produced positive results and pain reduction quickly for me.
