Exceptional Care at Forever Fit Physical Therapy - Highly Recommended!…read more I cannot say enough good things about Forever Fit Physical Therapy & Wellness Center in both Gaithersburg and Rockville. My experience there has truly been life-changing. When I first came in, I was extremely unwell. My arms could barely move up, down, or in any direction without pain. Even at night, my sleep was constantly disturbed because moving my arms would trigger intense discomfort. I had already tried a different physical therapist elsewhere but, sadly, saw no improvement. Determined to find better help, I searched for another clinic in the Gaithersburg area -- and that's when I found Forever Fit Physical Therapy. From my very first visit, I knew I was in the right place. Dr. Jyoti Panchal was everything I could hope for in a healthcare professional: skilled, attentive, caring, and deeply thoughtful in her approach. She took the time to understand my condition and used every available tool to treat my problem. Incredibly, I began to see and feel significant improvement after just two visits! I was also treated by Deosaran Katherine, another outstanding physical therapist at Forever Fit. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine care made a huge difference in my recovery journey. Both the Gaithersburg and Rockville locations are clean, welcoming, and equipped with everything you need for effective treatment. The staff is warm, supportive, and always focused on your well-being. If you are looking for physical therapy that delivers real results with compassion and professionalism, Forever Fit Physical Therapy is the place to go. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Jyoti Panchal, Deosaran Katherine, and their incredible team to anyone seeking top-quality care. Arega Eniyew

My initial visit was such an enlightening & liberating experience for me & my multi ailments. Marie not only exudes a qualified, calming & gifted approach with her seasoned techniques, she will school you from A-Z concisely yet expeditiously in this amazing component of traditional Chinese medicine. Her healing perspective in conjunction with this form of alternative medicine was a internal blowing of my mind, body & spirit. The thin needles were darn near touch-less & barely noticeable as she studied the numerous acupuncture points before inserting them into my specific body parts. For me, I walked away with less discomfort from the chronic aspect & it became more evident/effective later in the day & evening. Per design, everyone's make up is unique...as for me, this was better accommodating & cost efficient to the standard care & reiteration of "you should have back surgery" - NEGATIVE. Marie's extensive training & methodical/chakra familiarity approach enhanced my sense of wellbeing 10 fold. It also awaken the yearning I have for my vitality to evolve through this inner cultivation of holistic learning & treatment-POSITIVE. Crossings is absolutely "A Center For Healing".

At times there may be a wait to see the doctor , however the office is clean, pleasant and comfortable waiting area. Dr. Alam has cared for me since 2015 after a work related accident. The man knows how to treat patients and he does encourage patient participation in their plan of care. I can't say enough positive experiences. If not for Dr. Alam's care and meticulous review of my medical health and progress not sure how I would have made it . I needed surgery and wanted Dr. Alam to perform the surgery, after discussing my case he referred me to a Neurosurgeon which was more appropriate based on the medical necessity. Thank you Dr. Alam

Not being a doctor, it's difficult for me to evaluate Dr. Alam's ability as an orthopedist. I have…read moreno particular reason to doubt that he is very qualified, and in conversation he always seemed very competent. But the general experience at his clinic was quite bad. I always waited for between 30 and 90 minutes from my appointment time before being seen by him, and when he finally did come by the exam room I was waiting in, our interaction never lasted more than 5 minutes. I wouldn't go so far as to say that he seemed disinterested in treating me, but he certainly seemed rushed. The billing was generally confusing, and during one appointment I was charged an additional $200 to compensate for errors and omissions in the previous bills. At no point was I given any indication of how much various procedures or equipment would cost me out of pocket, and I had to go out of my way (requesting printouts of itemized bills) to even figure out what I was being charge for.

So I've been to see Gillian Powers, licensed acupuncturist practicing at Crossings Healing Center…read morein Silver Spring, on and off for years now, so I figure it's time for me to give her a little love. She's been such a calming influence when I have needed it most. She has helped me with stress at home and at work, with physical ailments, including conserving energy and improving my breathing (which in turn is calming). One of the things I like best about her is that she seems completely there for you - she soaks up information about you, listens carefully, and then sets about addressing the things you tell her are bothering you. She gives you space to unload, unwind, and by the end of the session, I always feel calm and rested. I think Gillian is especially good for someone who's never done alternative therapies before. You don't feel like you're entering some alternate reality; she doesn't bowl you over with needles and chakras. She's a very regular person, just attentive and subtle, and you often don't realize she's needling you . . . and by the way, these needles are like sewing needles, teeny tiny. I highly recommend my acupuncturist to anyone who's looking, whether for specific injuries, or just general maintenance.

Once those began to dissolve, I was able to look into chronic issues with digestion and sleep that I thought would never change (they did!). I continue to see her now to maintain well-being. Gillian is kind, gentle, and attentive. She takes the approach of partnering with you in taking care of your health (not preaching, forcing, or judging). Gillian tailors each and every session based on how you feel in that particular moment, and her acupuncture skills are phenomenal! I have had such major breakthroughs under her care, too many to recount. I really cannot imagine my life over the last few years without her tender treatment. I count her as one of the primary people in my support network, and I highly recommend that you do the same!

After my chiropractor of many years, Dr. Levan, retired, he recommended a few other chiropractors…read more Of the various excellent chiropractors I tried out, I found that Dr. Cradic really stood out. Dr. Cradic's adjustments are exceptionally good. He is unusually strong, incredibly fast, and very precise. Parts of my spine, especially in the upper spine between my shoulder blades, often would get stuck and resistant to moving. Dr. Cradic reliably gets them moving, with adjustments that are incredibly fast. Dr. Cradic also used a couple of adjustments that were extremely effective, but I had never seen before. This includes an adjustment of the shoulders that has done wonders for my pain and ability to work out intensively. In addition to adjusting my spine, Dr. Cradic has also helped with my wrists and even an issue I was having with my feet. He mentioned that his chiropractic expertise is actually enhanced by additional training in osteopathy. This, combined with skill and experience, may help explain why his adjustments are so phenomenal. The appointments begin with a combination of heat and electrical stimulation to relax the muscles, followed by a roller table. Sometimes, the roller table comes first, followed by heat/stim. After that, he does the adjustments, along with any soft tissue work that is needed. For example, in my case, he often uses a massage gun on my shoulders and rotator cuff, which I have found quite helpful. The hygiene is also good. For example, each person has a set of pads used for the electrical stimulation assigned to them. You get your own pads, rather than sharing pads. Equipment, tables, etc. are wiped down after each use. One concern I had was parking. That part of Silver Spring can be tricky to park in. However, there is a parking garage right across the street with plenty of room. I have never had any difficulty parking. There is also some limited street parking, but with the garage right there, I have never bothered with it.

What I love about Dr. Lowy is first, how he treats his patients. Secondly, he is very honest and modest in his approach to treatment. Grant it, I was expecting something to be seriously wrong with my foot, but he was honest enough to inform me what I need to do to change my circumstances. So I really appreciate that. What he wanted to do do for me as opposed what my insurance would allow was an issue. But he made sure that as long as I made certain changes with the type of shoes I wear, possible shots and stretches with a night boot would drastically improve my issues...and they have. I still have options later on but I just appreciate the modesty and keeping in mind of my finances. His staff as well are very sweet and have pleasurable dispositions. Again, all of this counts when you're in pain. If you are looking for a podiatrist in the Silver Spring area, please consider Dr. Lowy. He and his staff are wonderful!
