I've had lots of physical therapy. Most of which did some good. However, the majority of it focused on the symptoms rather than the cause. It helped me feel better but didn't last. When I started seeing Greg at Optimum, right from the beginning, he seemed to be able to identify the cause, focus on that and at the same time give lasting relief to the symptoms. Getting to go only once or twice a week, I needed exercises at home and he knew exactly what would help. They taught me that a lot of the problem was balance, right to left, front to back. Greg also taught me maintenance exercises and streches that if I knew 20 years ago I'd be in much better shape today. Everyone there is very friendly and relaxed. The place is nice and clean. I highly recommend them.

Five stars for the medical team, zero stars for scheduling, phones and leadership…read more I've been dealing with EMA for nearly two years and it often seems as if no one there below the rank of physician can operate a telephone. The causes of this collective developmental disability are a mystery, but the bureaucratic disease is real. The office is fully staffed. I know that from firsthand experience because I've been there five times. The parking situation is awesome. The location is stellar and easy to reach. But the front desk? The folks working the grill at McDonald's look like rocket scientists by comparison to EMA's admin people. Why is answering the phone in 20 rings or less so hard for them? Why can't EMA call referral patients to book appointments with them? Every time I cite EMA's Wesley San as my preferred physical medicine specialist the referring spine doctor tells me EMA will be calling me to make an appointment. However, that promise has not been fulfilled once in five tries in the two years since I tore up my back. And no one answers when you call EMA's main number at 253-272-9994 to try and make an appointment. Especially around lunch time, which apparently runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at EMA. Good luck booking at EMA via MyChart, as you can with nearly every other MultiCare office or affiliate, because EMA doesn't use it. Why? Apparently, managing physician Kashif Saeed thinks they're so incredibly efficient they don't need it. I've had a wonderful experience with Dr. Wesley San at EMA, who is awesome, but I'm no longer either healthy enough, persistent enough, nor intelligent enough to navigate my way through the EMA front office team to him. I know I'm not the only frequent flier at EMA who is sick of this crap. Because their reviews are full of similar stories, What's the moral of the a story? When you create an administrative situation where the only way a patient can get through to their physician at EMA is to write a negative review online, guess what you get? You're reading it. Look Kashif, if you are too busy to run the admin side of the business at EMA then hire someone else to oversee it and focus on physical medicine. Because this isn't working.

Conner helped to alleviate my concerns for the outcome of an MRI I had done on my cervical spine. I hadn't yet met with my doctor to discuss the results and the various descriptions preceded with "moderate" and "severe" weren't helping to relieve my anxiety any. He educated me on the terminology, used graphical software explaining the precise areas and explain what the radiologist's assessments were saying. Big relief until my doctor was able to meet with me. I had three appointments with him and found the physical manipulations/massage and exercise assignments to be super helpful in increasing range of motion, developing supportive strength and improving my posture, which will in turn strengthen my neck. He suggest I download a free app so he could update it on his end with videos of the various workouts and stretches I could perform during the week at home after trying them out with him in the gym. Any which were too difficult for me, he had a modification which could work the muscles needed. What a relief! The videos are INCREDIBLY helpful in both reminding me to do the exercises and to ensure I was maintaining proper form to prevent injury, work the appropriate area and make the most out of each movement. Due to the tingling and numbness going away (yay) I cancelled a couple appointments I had booked in advance. I may need more after some travel I will be doing this fall. Planes always seem to aggravate my neck and upper back. In the mean time, I will continue to practice the stretches and strengthening exercises Conner Naccarato assigned specifically for my needs and abilities with hopes that the plane trips won't have an adverse effect on me after all. But if they do, I know where to go now!
