I went to DCH Spinecare after 2 weeks without any improvement and when the x-ray came back, the recommendation was to begin physical therapy. I asked if they had a recommendation of where and they suggested North River Physical Therapy. I can't stress how pleased I am with their team. I felt like this is a very friendly and professional group. I went half a dozen times and my pain levels kept going down while my mobility went up. If anyone ever asked me for a recommendation for PT, I would steer them towards North River Physical Therapy. It is important to note that while they used to be located by The Blue Plate, they have relocated to 400 McFarland Blvd.

My experience in the care of this practice was bizarre to say the least. Upon my first visit the…read morenurse who initially saw me suggested that the COVID vaccine causes or increases neurological issues, and that it was a bad idea for I, an immunocompromised individual, to get another booster. I was told this was apparently standard recommendation here. My mother was with me and we gave each other a "what the hell did we just hear?" look. It goes to reason that every other doctor recommends vaccination, especially for COVID, as COVID is aggressive and the long-term complications of it can be disabling, especially for those like me and other individuals with chronic neurological issues. When I'd reported this to my rheumatologist, she was startled, saying she'd recommended Counce for years, but with that revelation she completely stopped referrals to her. Dr. Counce herself seemed to be very detached and did not focus much time on me at all. I kind of felt like my symptoms were being ignored. She didn't seem to hold much emotion or care. When I moved to UAB Neurology for a second opinion on my spine MRIs, they poured over everything they could to try and find an answer for me, and despite coming up dry as well, I at least feel like they gave it a better shot in that one session as opposed to the multiple I saw Counce. In her defense at least, she did run tests on me and did not simply brush my case off right away like some doctors have. But after they found nothing from there, they weren't willing to dig deeper than those basic tests. At the time my condition had been presenting almost like a neurodegenerative disease or like a more subtle case of MS, so this was naturally crushing. I wish they had done more for me. I also cannot trust a doctor whose nurses actively recommend AGAINST a vaccine for an illness that kills and disables aggressively, especially when a lot of their patients would be highly vulnerable to that illness! It's a HUGE red flag to dissuade from the COVID vaccine, DOUBLY SO when it's coming from medical professionals.

I told them I was pregnant and women with epilepsy can have a hard time with dosing medicine correctly. they never answered their phone when I called, never told me I would be experience seizure symptoms or anything for that matter. I felt alone through it all and ended up having a miscarriage. I messaged my concerns to the doctor (because the only way you can reach them is through their portal) explaining my situation and how I felt disregarded. they never responded to my message and deactivated my account. I would go to anyone but this place. We have switched to a UAB Neurologist who actually knows how to communicate with their patients. I'm happy to no longer be a patient at this place.
