What Our Federal Patients Say

"I had back and hip pain. It was uncomfortable doing anything, and I couldn't sleep. After coming here, I'm out of pain, moving well, sleeping again, and back at work. I also got my case with the Department of Labor approved — thanks to the team here!" — Scott H.

"I'm doing a lot better now and I don't have the severe pain I had when I first came here. Everything is working good now. I got a lot of help with my paperwork and all the forms." — Ronnie J.

"I tore my hamstring at work. Was told it was just a sprain. The MRI ordered by you guys showed it was torn. Rehab with Haley and Dr. Evans has gotten me much stronger and more agile. Results are off the charts compared to when I first arrived. Everyone in this place is awesome — thank you guys so much." — Jeff J.

"I had an injury to my thumb that caused extremely severe pain and huge swelling. Before coming here, I couldn't even tie my shoes or button my pants. Now I can do those tasks, eat with my right hand, hold a cup, write again, and clip my own fingernails. It really makes me feel great again!" — Mike P.
