David and Rhonda is a great team together. My experience was excellent with David. He takes a lot of time with you and thoroughly explain and demonstrate your exercises. A very friendly business. Im glad I chose him for my PT. Will use him again or recommend my family to him.

Dave & Rhonda are absolutely the best!! My previous profession combined with continued active lifestyle over almost 70yrs has resulted in several PT needs in many different states & facilities. Summerville PT and Balance figuratively and literally outshines them all: with the cleanest facility I have seen, Dave & Rhonda's combine personal, professional, friendly, and considerate care to make their PT unbeatable!

My time at Summerville PT was well spent. When I started, I couldn't stand more than a minute or two without tremendous pain. At the end of my sessions, I was walking with little pain and could stand for a good while. And with the stretching exercises and core muscle building David taught me, my condition has continued to improve! I most appreciated the time he took to listen to me each week and made changes based on that. But he also continued to add new things slowly so they wouldn't create any set backs. I first came to Summerville PT over 4 years ago after back surgery which helped my recovery

David and Rhonda know their stuff !!!! I won't get into my personal course of treatment except to say that I felt that it was very targeted to my particular needs. I started seeing David to address pain caused by cervical disc degeneration and arthritis in my neck. I had pretty significant pain and daily (all day) headaches. Today I am very nearly pain free and have no headaches.
Rhonda is so kind and so professional in the way she deals with patients. She is very flexible with scheduling and SO helpful in handling communication with my primary care doctor. From the moment you walk into the office

My rehab for my right knee was an absolutely incredible experience. I couldnt of been happier of the Professionalism of Dave Brungo. When anyone gets out of life changing surgery to get back at it, you are naturally apprehensive.
Dave made me feel
Comfortable in not to push over exert but stay focused and push your own self so as not to overdo it. He was very encouraging. They work with your schedule to try and accommodate you getting back to work and a daily
Routine. I would strongly urge you if you are looking for a good physical therapist please go here. Its not everyday you meet
