Very impressed with the level of care and thoroughness. Mrs Julie was amazing with my son and explained everything very clearly. She spend a lot of time with my son listening to him and understanding his pain. I highly recommend them.

Absolutely the best rehab/PT facility anywhere! Julie and her team have rehabbed 2 new knees, and new right shoulder and now sciatica for me over the past 18 months. The care, performance and expertise on each visit is second to none! If you want the best care, from trained professionals and wonderful office support, I highly recommend AOPT !

Report
My teenaged daughter suffered from severe knee pain for over a year before we discovered Julie Snowden with Advanced Orthopedic Physical Therapy. My daughter had visited multiple doctors and endured six months of physical therapy with another practice, but still could not walk without pain, which was greatly impacting her quality of life. At our first visit with Julie, she spent over an hour with us watching my daughter walk, testing her muscle strength and taking measurements. We left with a pair of orthodics for her shoes and at list of at-home exercises. Within 3 months, not only was she walking

I was referred to Advanced Orthopeadics by a friend. I had no idea if They could help my shoulder but wanted to avoid surgery if at all possible. I could not be more pleased with their expert guidance. My shoulder is functioning well now and I feel confident that if I continue with my exercises it will stay that way! Because of my busy schedule I ended up seeing several different therapists. They were all excellent. I highly recommend them.
