Overall my experience at ATI Physical Therapy in Goose Creek, SC has been more than pleasant.
Customer Service: 5 stars, they greet you when you come in and are polite ALL THE TIME even if they get used to you coming in. The young ladies that work at the front desk are quick on their feet and get you a response as fast as they can with accuracy-- even by phone. Anytime I needed to reschedule, they have been more than happy to help me find a time frame that works for me and them. The main thing I love about the customer support/ service of this particular location is that: NONE of the staff in there acts as if they know more than you, and disregards what you have to say-- they care to respect your individual experience to your injury or what have you.
I have experienced customer service from doctor offices, clinics, hospitals etc and I've always felt like I was not heard and/or felt. I felt like a body that just needed to get processed and treated for the moment and passed along. I never experienced that one time here for the 3 months that attended ATI.
Facility: 5 stars--When I first got here it was a nice size facility and had enough room to move around and had posters on the wall that showed you inside of the knee and shoulder. I loved that aspects of it. I injured my MCL and being able to see exactly where it was located and how everything connects was insightful. They later did reconstruction and still ran the place as if it wasn't. I never felt like I was in a facility that was under construction. Then they finished construction and it was even better with even more room, more equipment and staff.
Therapist: I had the pleasure of working 4 therapist while attending ATI. At first I was cautious because I started with one and was unsure if the others would offer me the same level of insight and care as the first one did. The reassured me that they all care and have a passion to help-- they even come with their own experience to add if you ask.
Patrick: He was the first therapist I had the pleasure of working with. He greeted me with a smile you could see through the face mask. He's very humorous and makes you feel comfortable even though I felt like I had no idea what I was getting into. It helped that we both played sports and had the similar injuries-- so hearing his recovery stories really made me feel more than comfortable. I was able to speak in informal terms and say things I didn't think that would make sense and he would understand exactly what I meant. I started and ended with Patrick and I must say I appreciate him to the fullest-- I cannot express it enough.
Samantha: I had the pleasure of working with Samantha as well. The first time I was scheduled to work with her, I was intimidated haha. I wasn't familiar with her and hesitant but anytime she would inquire if I had any concerns-- I would voice them and she would reassure me or give me guidance on how to help my situations. The cherry on top is that she silently LISTENED to what i had to say before she made a comment on what I was experiencing. I was able to joke with her about making my exercises more difficult and she would obliged by doing so while Patrick came and added his 2 cents on making the exercise more difficult as well-- then laughed. When my exercises got difficult they stood right next to me to ensure that I was able to handle was given to me. All of that to say, I crushed the challenges they gave me. I can say that now that I graduated from ATI haha.
Mary: I also had the please of working with Mary for most of my last 4-5 weeks at ATI. She has experience with Cross Country and since I got into running long distances before my injury-- I found that I could speak to her about my running form and more as I was healing up and getting back into more sport like activities. She definitely loved challenging me when things got too easy for me and I appreciated every bit of it. I always felt like I wasn't a number or a body to them. Especially with Mary, she made sure that I was working my body with safety concerned. She always handled me with care and gave me insight when I asked for it.
Bane: I only got to work with Bane once but he carries himself like a professional and just embodies confidence. He gave me insight when I asked for it and noticed if certain movement s became too easy for me. Even if I was not crédules for him-- he would ask me how I was doing and ensure that I was feeling okay if I made a stumble which doing a balance exercise. read more
