I came to treat at Apple physical therapy in Marlton, New Jersey, under the care of therapist, Adam David, after I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and suffered a fractured femur which required surgical repair extensive hardware. The surgery was performed at THE leading trauma Hospital in the region by a trauma surgeon affiliated with that Hospital's "Bone & Joint Institute."
At my first follow up visit following discharge from the hospital, the surgeon recommended I begin PT immediately. I was given a referral for PT sending me to any of the "Bone & Joint Inst Rehab/PT Centers" associated with the hospital. After calling 4 of the PT Centers, the earliest appointment I could get was 17 days out. Concerned that I'd continue to lose flexibility and muscle, I contacted my surgeon and asked whether I should seek PT outside the large health system. My doctor wanted me in PT "tomorrow" so it was recommended I look outside the system.
I contacted Therapist, Adam David, that same day and spoke with him. Adam had me in for my initial evaluation first thing the following morning. Long story short, Adam and his staff are great and my PT progresses exceptionally. Unlike a larger PT Center, I received hands on attention from Adam at each visit. He was there to help me with strengthening ideas and would evaluate my progress after each session. He's extremely personable and knowledgeable and I enjoyed working with him, in fact, PT was the highlight of my day.
Interestingly, by the date I would've had my first PT appt with the Bone and Joint Inst, I had already progressed to nearly full range of motion in my knee and was gaining back muscle mass lost due to atrophy.
Final point - don't get caught up in the name and reputation of big health systems when seeking out PT. You'll find that you get much better treatment and personalized attention from a local private practice like Apple. I would strongly recommend Apple and Adam David to anyone seeking out a physical therapist. read more
