Was always available. Enter "ASAP" and it's amateur hour. They don't actually even bother to send in your prescription and you have to chase down these sketchy people (like their CNP who for some reason is "the only person who can send in scripts" according to the people who answer the phones for every one of their million locations). Look at the end of the day pain management docs have one job. Call in your script. They're rewarded handsomely for doing so. So what's up these people can't do that? Their one job? Since they took over beloved Dr. Gariwala's practice (as I said, suddenly, mysteriously and with zero communications with longtime patients) I've done some investigating. Multiple malpractice suits in MD alone. (They also practice in VA). Many bad reviews. Their MDs--omg--I'm not trying to judge on looks here but based on my actual experiences thus far--the fact that their doctors look either 1) fake like stock photos or 2) weird like an aging Doogie Howser does not bode well. Now I'm going to have to find a new practice. Great. Btw--the founder of this business was in prison for kickback schemes over drugs. Watch that Max Lum. Amazing lady really. Apparently she is the only one who actually works for this pill mill.

Not thrilled. Went in for an evaluation and first session, and was just generally uncomfortable…read more The therapist never really put me at ease. Her poking and prodding really HURT, whereas with therapists at other practices for different injuries in the past, I've never been made to feel pain, just mild discomfort. Also, a couple hours after I got home, I was experiencing nerve pain, tingling, and numbness, different from what I was being treated for and in a different area. I know therapy can cause soreness, but I didn't expect any new problems to occur. I also didn't appreciate the brusque attitude I got when I asked about any physical activity I could do and got total side-eye and a somewhat rude comeback. All in all, though it seems like they know what they're doing, I'd rather go somewhere with more professional staff that looks a bit less like a run-down hospital ward. Two stars for being knowledgable. I won't be returning.

FX studios is a top notch physical therapy practice where they provide more attention per patient…read morethan a normal PT practice. They are also extremely busy so you can be confident that they want to treat you and get you back to your normal activities unlike some other outfits that let's just say are chasing billable hours. The PT I see at the practice is Kim and I can't rave enough about her. She is on the cutting edge of new and innovative treatments as she was one of the first in this area to offer dry needling several years back, cupping, etc. I almost don't want to write this because it's hard enough to get an appt with her as it is!! They are also very athlete friendly (Kim is a runner for ex.) which is very important to me as they will look at ways to keep you active and will work on a plan to get you racing again rather than telling you what you can't do. I would say without hesitation that if you are in need of physical therapy services, run (if you are able to), don't walk to FX Studios!! Mitch

Nonetheless, I persist and they continue to help me with good cheer and positivity. This business is located within the Maryland Athletic Club (MAC). Their therapy rooms are well stocked with all sorts of gadgets but the tables aren't too close to each other so no one feels crowded. There are lots of mirrors on the walls so you can check your form (or, if you're kinda bored, you can look out onto the businesses on Aliceanna). I've generally worked with Alyssa and she's professional, friendly, but tries to push me further. My favorite treatments are the massages, though.

My husband, a 73 year old man who was referred to Caroline Queale at Elite PT for issues related to…read moreshoulder and back issues. Caroline spent 1.5 hours with him due to a complex medical history. She was the most thorough physical therapist he had ever visited (and there have been many over the years). She spent that time to properly diagnose his PT needs and to understand his personal and support his approach to exercise. She and her colleagues prepared a PT plan and helped him execute it terrifically. The hands on treatment that took up the initial half hour of each session was expertly delivered and the exercise program was designed to meet both short and long term needs. Over the past two years Caroline, Allison and Kelli have provided great support and treatment for a range of problems ranging from shoulders to back to knees and hips. Their treatments have consistently resulted in significant improvement. I have also been a client at Elite PT on and off for the past two years and have experienced the same kind of care, insight and professionalism from all three practitioners. My profile, stemming from a compression fracture in my back that cascaded to weak muscles and attending pain, was complicated and layered. Caroline worked hard to unpack each issue (and the new ones that cropped up), tried new treatments and exercises until she got the the source of the issue. Additionally, all of the staff at Elite PT have treated us with care and support as we went through difficult medical situations. We are ever grateful and highly recommend Elite PT.

I was looking for something local with immediate availability and I was surprised by the plethora of PTs in the neighborhood. After a few calls to a number of places, I decided on ATI. (ATI has multiple locations) They are located in a plaza so there was plenty of parking. I arrived, with pre-filled paperwork and I had a preliminary assessment by Cici. Her assessment was thorough so I decided she would be my specialist. Over the next 6-8 weeks, training has been effective. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The interior is basic but all the equipment you'll need is accessible. Overall, this experience has changed my mind about physical therapy. Initially, I thought PT was a waste of time because you can work out on your own. However, my experience showed me that the workouts and exercises are targeted to your injury and your PT can guide you on activity outside of your normal sessions. If you are looking for a smaller facility that feels like a family with knowledgeable staff, I'd highly recommend ATI.

I figured I could do the exercises on my own and recover....I was wrong. I ended up going to the Fort Ave location and Rameshwar Alambayan, the on-site Physical Therapist, was Excellent! He is the consummate professional! I never thought PT could actually be fun! Ram has a wonderful sense of humor and personality! Before you realize it your time has gone by and you're feeling better. I can't thank Ram and Carly enough for the great care provided over the last 6 weeks! You're the BEST! I would highly recommend!
