I highly doubt the reviews here about the downtown ATI physical therapy. I don't usually write reviews but just really think patients deserve to know how this location is before considering going. I found those reviews at a different location of ATI is very true to downtown ATI as well, see here:https://www.yelp.com/biz/ati-physical-therapy-indianapolis
So first, NOT ONE-ON-ONE. You will see the PT for a short amount of time and then the assistant will come and take care of you. I want you all to know that I was patient enough to see how they actually are doing, but from the first time the assistant was guiding me on exercises, they were playing with their computers and did not even look at how I was doing or correct me. No ONE-ON-ONE from the PT, compensated with one-assistant-on-one-patient-and-whatever-distractions-they-want.
Second, the PTs are not very skilled. They are not very good at whatever they are doing. My doctor who referred me to ATI specified my problems clearly but the PT did not even evaluate them before giving me the exercises. I will tell you those exercises could be found in any Pilate class, and if you pay for a private Pilate class, it will be cheaper and the plate instructor will pay more attention than the assistants do.
Third, this place is all about money. That makes sense that even though they are not very competent, they will still keep you there and try to take care of multiple patients at the same time. Oh, don't forget that, you will be asked to do warm-up exercises for 10-15 min before the treatment, I mean it definitely makes sense, but it will go into your bill. Again, $450 per hour, think hard about picking this place over a private gym class.
Fourth, this review comes from a patient who has experiences with other academic PT services and absolutely knows what I should expect from a PT service.
Anything nice about this place? The people are friendly and the location and facility are new and nice. Wait, you want to pay $450/hour for some chatting and hanging out there for an hour? Patients should not go there, and doctors should stop referring patients going there if you don't want to lose your patients' faith in you as how my doctor sort of did. read more
