Hear from patients that reclaimed their lives.
I joined Pappas OPT in 2017 as a new graduate and could not be more happy with the sense of community and shared passion for patient-centered care that comes naturally to this company. Pappas OPT has been a wonderful company to help lead me on my own path as a Physical Therapist. I have achieved more in 2 years than I expected to in 5 thanks to the endless support from Pappas OPT.

I knew Pappas OPT would be the right fit for me when I was here for my first clinical affiliation. The focus on company culture and continuing education is what helped me make my decision to apply. What really helped solidify my decision was when I voiced my desire to build a pelvic health program, which was not in place at the time. I’m grateful that I have the opportunity to continue to grow with this company.

They want to help facilitate personal and professional growth and to help us become better people. The slogan “we treat you like family” really defines what this company stands for.

The entire team here makes you feel like family. I can’t believe they completely healed my shoulder. No need for surgery!!! I’ll never go anywhere else for PT. They all stay on the cutting edge of new technology.

This was my first time at Pappas OPT. I have to say it was one of the best doctor/health/clinic experiences I have ever had. I was treated with respect, received a thorough examination and ongoing treatment plan, and was met with a smiling face by every employee.

Pappas OPT Physical and Hand Therapy embodies their mantra of treating you like family. They both took an interest in not only my ankle injury but in me as a person making me feel comfortable and easing all anxieties we face when going through an injury.

My experience was great. The treatment was excellent and it was explained in great detail. My pain and discomfort were eliminated with a diverse exercise program. The whole staff is awesome.

Pappas OPT Patient
Pappas OPT has an extremely clean therapeutic facility. All of the people I encountered were helpful, especially my therapist Destiny. I didn’t expect much relief because of pre-existing conditions, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Pappas OPT Patient
You can be confident you’re in good hands, no matter who is helping you through your healing process. After three years of chronic lower back and hip pain and numerous, unsuccessful PT experiences, for me, this was a miraculous outcome. I cannot say enough about the atmosphere and PT philosophy that has been nurtured here.

I have enjoyed PT and have not dreaded it for a second. Atmosphere is friendly with EXTREMELY knowledgeable therapists whom I have already highly recommended to friends and family. I’m very happy that I chose them.
