2015 Patient with positive results and favorable opinion of Kutz and associates. New back and hip injuries and in need of therapy, chose to return to the folks who helped me in 2015. Had appointment for Friday August 3 at 3pm. Got there at 245 pm, filled out paperwork, told by receptionist that Ken would be with me in twenty minutes. NO ONE IN WAITING ROOM OR IN SIGHT. After asking numerous times when I would be seen, finally asked for all my paper work to be returned to me , I left office at 4:15pm. Terrible service obvious rudeness, asked the receptionist to have Ken call me and so far only

Dr. Kurtz is a very knowledgeable and dedicated therapist, he offers a detailed PT routine and also provides heating/cooling therapies and electric stimulations, providing a very comprehensive care. He noticed that I was not getting better after some sessions and referred me to my primary doctor to get some steroids' which greatly reduced the pain by reducing the inflammation in my lumbar area. He charges a fix fee compared to other places where they charge every 15 min of PT. I had bad experiences in other offices with young therapies with lack of experience and empathy. Dr Kurtz has a great

Isn't it a little odd to write a five star review for a place you never hope to see again? Maybe it's more than a little odd. Either way, as much as I enjoyed rehabbing my injured shoulder, physical therapy isn't something I want to visit any time soon. At least when I inevitably hurt myself again, I know exactly where to go.
I'm a bit of a gym rat, and unfortunately for my joints, I'm also a bit of a compulsive over-exerciser. So when I hurt my shoulder as a direct result of too much yoga, I needed somewhere to get better. I got a referral to Ken's office and off
