A Recovery Journey Worth Celebrating…read more After major neck surgery, I specifically requested Southland Physical Therapy by name--and they exceeded every expectation. This facility became my path back to full conditioning, and I'm grateful for every session. What struck me immediately was the diversity of the patient community: athletes training for competition, working professionals recovering from injuries, people of all ages united by one thing--a willingness to do the work. That environment itself became motivating. The entire team deserves recognition. Every therapist and PTA brought expertise and genuine care to their work. The operational excellence impressed me too: reminders arrived the day before appointments, they consistently ran on time despite high volume, and every interaction came with a smile. A special acknowledgment to Conner, who balanced knowledgeable instruction with the perfect level of challenge. Each week, he pushed me just beyond what I'd accomplished the week before--exactly what I needed to progress. Beyond physical recovery, Southland reminded me of something essential: how to stay positive regardless of the challenges we face. That lesson extends far beyond the treatment room. If you're willing to put in the work, this is where you want to be.

The physical therapists are excellent. The front desk staff except for one or two exceptions are…read moreextremely rude and unprofessional. They hang up without saying goodbye, they talk like they're doing you a favor by answering the phone or any of your questions and they sound like they haven't been trained at all. The aides are friendly but only a couple of them actually watch and help you with your form on your exercises which is the point of their job. It is hard to rate this location because the therapists themselves are excellent. It's just everything else. Management should take more of an interest in training their staff.

Jennifer was great at the Pre-Op appointment she explained everything thoroughly and was very patient. I walked in my first visit in a lot of pain, pain level of 8 and everyone was so patient. They saved my life. I came out of surgery and I didn't feel the pain anymore. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I've been coming to here for 2 years now and, I'm so glad I was referred by my Primary care MD…read more I've had low sciatica low back pain that is so crippling (up to 3 weeks) when I pinch the nerves in that area that I'm unable to walk, sleep and do other activities of daily living. Also, I lean either to the left or to the right depending on the area Dr. Richard Docherty MD and his staff are the God send I never knew existed. From Crystal my "How 'ya doin" front desk assistant (we crack each other up (and diss & dish like we were on Wendy Williams) whom is personable, compassionate and helpful. The MA's who are really thorough and cool and, of course Dr. D. MD himself who is mellow and a "just let me know where it hurts and we WILL fix it" kinda guy. I've been to many orthopedists and never had any of them do more of a thorough work up to find out just why I continue to suffer. The x-rays, tests, medical history and good listening skills provided me and Dr. D with the real problem that happened 46 years ago. That was when I was working in the OR (while I was going to college) and assisted the rest of the OR team in pulling a patient off of the operating table. I pinched 3 nerves that were time bombs of a congenital nature just waiting to go off. Also, Dr. D was able to determine that I have a mild case of scoliosis that is contributory to the reoccurring injuries every 3-6 months. Also, I have all of this on a CD for use in providing information in the future too. He even gave me Rx's (thank you Percocet and Darvocet-N) for the pain just in case I have relapses before my next epidural, where they do painless cortisone injections between the disks to keep the pressure off of the nerves. He is an associate with several other pain management MD's in this office and they are ALL top notch in their field. So, if you are looking for relief and want better over all quality of life, skip your next Chiropractor visit (of which I've spent thousands of $$$ on with little relief) and check them out.

I had a disappointing experience with Dr. Roshawn. I felt neglected and dismissed during my visit…read more Despite mentioning my symptoms multiple times, he didn't take my concerns seriously and seemed in a hurry to move on. There was little effort to explain the diagnosis or treatment plan, leaving me confused and uneasy. I left feeling unheard and uncertain about my health. I wouldn't recommend this doctor if you're looking for someone who truly listens and prioritizes patient care." He sees us as $$$ we are nothing else to him. The office schedules 30 patients for one time slot. There's only 10 chairs in the waiting lounge. There was elders and injured patient standing waiting for at least 3 hours. After two months of the consultation, the doctor didn't bother to submit his notes so I can further my healing journey.

Dr. Rufus Fuller at Sotas Integrative Medicine is truly extraordinary. I've been his patient for…read moreyears, and during that time he's not only treated and significantly improved a wide range of issues for me -- including peripheral neuropathy, lower back pain, and tinnitus -- but he's also taken the time to educate me about my own body and healing process in a way that's empowering and deeply supportive. Rufus is an incredibly compassionate, attentive, and talented acupuncturist. His depth of knowledge is obvious, but what truly sets him apart is how much he genuinely cares. You never feel rushed; you feel heard, respected, and guided. The practice itself is everything you'd want in a healing space: calm, clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The overall vibe is relaxed and friendly, and walking in instantly lowers your stress level. Add in Rufus' calm presence and sly sense of humor, and each visit becomes a welcome moment of peace in an otherwise crazy world. I can't recommend him highly enough. If you are even considering acupuncture, Rufus is the person you should be seeing.

Apparently all the reviews about their scheduling/desk staff is correct. I kept trying to use their…read more"hold my place in line" feature when calling in and never get a call back. After a week of this, I finally opted to just sit on hold. Turns out they never have a massive queue, the wait is never more than a few minutes. But the staff is an absolute nightmare. Today I spoke with "Hamza" and he talked really quietly unless he was talking over me (which he did the whole time) and refused to make any changes after I explained I have an Auditory Processing Disorder. He then put me on hold to speak to a colleague, left me on hold for nearly 10 minutes then returned to say I needed to send an email. I don't have an email address for them and when I asked why he couldn't schedule me if he's a scheduling operator is because his colleague said they needed my referral first. I told him I have a PPO and don't need one but I can provide contact for the 3 doctors that made the reco I speak to a neurologist if they need. He said his colleague thought I had an HMO - I asked why he would think that and he didn't answer just said he would schedule me. I asked with who and he gave a name I didn't recognize. I asked him to stop, please because it was clear there'd been some miscommunication. He hadn't even taken my insurance so he'd be scheduling blind AND I was calling to get the availability for a specific neurologist at their location. When he again interrupted and reverted to speaking at an inconsistent pace/volume I stated this clearly wasn't working and asked if he could transfer me to someone else. He said yes, put me back on hold, and then rerouted me to the main menu instead. With no other option I re-entered the queue for scheduling operators only to wait my turn and be hung up on. I have since called back at least 5 times, and tried an alternate number for the office I found online. Every time, I wait in the queue, and then when my turn comes, I'm hung up on. I'm sure Hamza thinks he's hilarious but I will be reporting the behavior to my insurance company, and the ADA at bare minimum. I guarantee this behavior is not limited to his phone interactions and if this is how he treats someone with an APD, I cannot imagine how he treats stroke survivors and those with significant cognitive impairment.

I had pretty much sworn off massage for years because of too many disappointing experiences and…read moreinconsistent service. Because of that, I don't say this lightly: Firm Hands has completely changed my mind. Every single experience I've had here--for myself, for friends, and for family--has been outstanding. The work is consistently skilled, intentional, and truly therapeutic. This isn't a "fluffy" massage that leaves you wondering what you paid for; it's thoughtful bodywork that actually helps. I've referred so many people to Firm Hands at this point that I honestly can't help myself--I recommend it to anyone who will listen. Whether you're looking for real therapeutic support or intentional self-care, this place delivers every time. Highly, highly recommend.
