Wow, Davis & Derosa came highly recommended for physical therapy to me by my Orthopaedic surgeon's office. They were right!
I broke my left humerus back in February, it was completely severed from the ball joint in the shoulder, in the most evil and (devilish or wicked) of splintered fashions. It took forever to heal. I spent 12 wonderous weeks with my primary Physical Therapist, Dr. Rachael D'Angelo whom I simply LOVE. No not like that you gutter rat, I'm married. But she is solely responsible (with her team of wonderful SuperHeros and SuperHeroins, including Lianne, Bryce, Alison and others, to name a few). A big shout out to Pam, Priscilla, Bryce and all the other admins staff whom were sooo helpful! Get this, there were even times I came to my therapy and didn't have a Tee-shirt, and the D&D admin staff, loaned me one of theirs! (from Davis & Derosa) How awesome is that???
Dr. Rachael was always professional and "exceedingly" competent. She knew exactly "what" to do to get my arm "back" to working condition again, and let me tell you. 8 weeks laying around with a steel plate and 12 qty (2 to 4 inch screws), holding it all into place, causes major atrophe.
She helped get my arm back from almost literally 5 percent range of motion, back to 100 percent in each direction. I'm very very grateful to her and the team Chris Derosa assigned to assist her with my injury and my physical therapy treatments. I spent 12 weeks with Rachael's kind help, 2 visits per week, I think all in all 25 visits in total. It was NOT easy.
Looking back, I cannot feel an overwhelming sense of emotion, as tears well up, when I think about the awesome and critical care these folks provided to me, to get me back up on my feet again and help me to regain my dignity again. I'd certainly send Christmas cards this year to each, but boring, boring, boring and so cliche.
The simple fact of the matter is, physical therapy is COSTLY and it's not something one could easily get up each day and feel that excited to go to work to go help the negative, down guy who is broken spirited, broken bodied, and broken hearted, to get a little bit of hope back in their miserable awful lives.
They helped provide this to me though, just by a great positive, emotional attitude and a feeling of warmth and care in their hearts, that you could easily feel.
The best part is, they are all such COOL people! People you and I would hang out with, not too cool for school nor above you, but respected your thoughts and opinions as well as sharing great insights of their own. Chris has a wonderful golden retriever puppy dog that sometimes graces the patients with his presence, and brings in cheer to the office, like the sun's rays. NOONE can resist!
Yeah, yeh, yeh, yeh. Enough with the sales pitch already... is this guy for real?
Trust me, I hear you. Last thing I wanna do is sit here and promote anyone or anything, but in this case, my own Gratitude causes me to write the comments I have. By the way, I'm a real person though. If you don't believe it, come see me singing as Elvis Presley on Santa Monica, Redondo, or Long Beach piers once in a while and let's meet and talk. I'll show off my scar and my X-Rays and pictures of the motorcycle that I crashed!
Try being injured though, and worrying that (you'll never be back to normal ever again), and going through the daily (and quite hard steps - I might add), to get yourself back! Once you're there, back on top of that mountain, you look back though and see the path you took, the people who helped you climb, and you cannot help to feel the way I do, right now, today.
Thanks Dr. Rachael! Best Wishes to you in ALL future endeavors.
Best Regards,
Jeff A.
