It occurred to me recently that Yelp would be an even better place if we would actually review our…read moredoctors here in Denmark. Since there is no real source to know how to find a GOOD doctor, I'm starting the movement! Yelpers unite and start reviewing!
Starting with the positive, because that's how I do. I have had both the fortune and misfortune of needing a physical therapist here in Copenhagen on numerous occasions, for numerous injuries. Such is the life of an active person, I suppose. I was referred to Frederiksberg Fysio through Nordic Netcare (a branch my insurance company works with), initially for a strained Achilles tendon, and when other random injuries presented themselves over the course of time, I found myself back at FRB Fysio, due to my initial positive experiences there.
I have worked both with Rene Sølund Burkal (Achilles and slipped disk in lower back), and Niels Mygind (sprained rib).
I don't feel like it's even necessary to break down the differences between Rene and Niels. It seems they both work off of the same high standard encouraged by FRB fysio, and I felt comfortable working with both of them in rehabilitating all of my injuries. They are both extremely thoughtful, resourceful in their work, and provide follow up suggestions that, when followed, make big differences in performance, and general movement. On all occasions I have come in in pretty bad shape, having lost some mobility and been in pain, and have never left not feeling at least somewhat better.
While my insurance paid for my visits, they do have subsidized cost brackets for those without private insurance, and I would consider them relatively affordable as physical therapists go, particularly once you make it through the first consultation, which is always way more thorough.
And while there are other private PTs out there, who may be great for specific things, especially sports injuries (which all of mine were), I was looking to not spend 500kr a visit for someone specific, even though I have a great network of those types in my community, and feel quite satisfied with my choice, mostly because I've saved a lot of money and still managed to rehab without much trouble. *thumbs up*
