Their customer service, attention to detail, level of care and honestly they even greet you with a smile when you walk in. They go out of their way to ensure that you get the best level of care by listening to your complaint, asking you question to try to "pinpoint" the problem, doing a thorough exam (which unfortunately can be painful sometimes - just a PT thing I think), and then prior to you doing your "regiment" which they match to your issue explain the thoughts behind it as needed. I, unfortunately, have been a somewhat frequent flyer, here as of recent and they have always been nothing but excellent all around. This particular branch is the only one I been too and the only one I will go too. If the other branches are like this Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy is definitely the place to go!! If not the Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy at Witchduck is the place to go too!!!

SPT Southeastern Physical Therapy (Haygood)…read more My Experience . After seeing a series of specialists for almost two years, while attempting to find relief and or a diagnosis for my ongoing and increasing symptoms, my PCP referred me to Southeastern Physical Therapy Haygood-- Major Improvements! Major. Major. After only two (2) weeks. The first day, I was greeted by name with a warm smiling welcome from Shamecia at the front desk. Check-in and paperwork were handled with ease, care, and professionalism. That set the tone. Maricel, my Physical Therapist and the Clinic Director, is Totally Awesome! Absolutely. Amazing. She listened carefully to my litany of symptoms and asked important questions. She "got it"-- She understood, immediately, the stress of, daily, feeling helpless to make sense of increasing discomfort and pain. For a full year plus, I have consulted specialists: had scans, tests, x-rays, prescriptions...without a clear explanation for my ongoing, increasing, symptoms. I really believed ever-decreasing mobility was simply my new normal-- And the most I could hope for in keeping this appointment would be to learn to limp less and to better cover my distress. I don't believe that anymore. Nope. There is, definitely, something that I can do to restore my mobility and well-being. Maricel is a consummate professional, knowledgeable, skillful, resourceful, warm, and genuinely caring. She treats you as a whole person. The first session, she carefully assessed my gait and range of motion and outlined a personal plan of treatment. It is tailored specifically to getting me back to my fit level of mobility--without meds--or the frustrating discomfort and pain of the past year plus. She assured me, as I progressed, my plan would continue to be tweaked to reflect my changing needs. I was not alone. Her confidence in my body's ability to make the needed corrections is joyfully contagious! When I say there was Significant Physical Relief after my first session--just know, I smiled like an idiot all the way home. I am still smiling. Chris, my Physical Therapist Technician, is Great! He has a great sense of humor, is professional, knowledgeable, and has a great way of explaining and demonstrating new exercises. He is unhurried and always encouraging. He makes the exercises actually enjoyable. Each modality is explained with clarity and adjusted to meet my fitness goals and current level of ability. The treatment space at SPT Haygood is comfortable, clean, attractive, well-kept, and bright with natural light. At my second session, Maricel confirmed and more fully explained the underlying causes of my symptoms--and created a treatment plan for me that is working ~ Beautifully. The at-home exercises, for outside of my scheduled sessions, are effective, empowering, and immediate morale raisers. The staff at Southeastern Physical Therapy (SPT) Haygood is Committed, Professional, Knowledgeable, Caring, and Kind. The overall positive atmosphere -- lifts my spirits -- as I restore my body to optimal function. I was helped more in one session at SPT Haygood than I was able to achieve in well over a year of seeing other professional medical specialists. Southeastern Physical Therapy Haygood gets Highest Recommendations! ~It Works! : ) Thank You! - does not fully express my feeling of Gratitude. Best Regards, 18 January 2017

My mom was at Bayside for 3 months, as a long term care resident. I am writing about the care , not…read morethe rehab facility. As with any place there are always pros and cons : The positive pros are about some of the wonderful staff - First is Samantha Alzola the Social Worker. She's very professional, caring and provided my sister and myself numerous guidance and assistance while navigating these new, uncharted waters. Always pleasant to deal with, no matter how much her work load was. Next are the individual care givers , the L.P.N.'s and C.N.A 's. First is Andrea Dunn, PA. she was very knowledgeable, approachable,and runs the all the medical care . She spent time to explain Mom's situation and all options to help us make hard decisions. Andrea was easy to get along with and not intimidating at all. Next are the caregivers who after 3 months I got to know quite well. there are always "earth angels" and 2 who no longer work there that I want to mention as they were instrumental in mom's care : Maria CNA and Markita LPN. Nikierra LPN(Nikki) was a wonderful, kind, caring and a compassionate caregiver to our mom. Also were the CNA'S who showed extreme kindness and love whenever they had to take care of mom. They are Cheree, Danasia, Shanice And Darlene. Darlene was the first caregiver when mom arrived who filled us in with all the important details and guided us on the way things worked. Lastly was a speech therapist Becca who showed kindness and compassion whenever she dealt with mom, whose hearing was extremely lacking. Since this facility is relatively small with only 3 wings and 60 beds I believe the caregivers really get to know the patients and their family , if they choose to. Here are the cons that I'd like to share: Within one week mom's left hearing aid was missing. We believe it was thrown away on one of her meal trays. I reported it to various staff members and got the same reply, "the administrator is aware of it". The Administrator Madison, never contacted either myself or my sister about the hearing aid so we assumed it wasn't too important to her otherwise she would have addressed the situation. We decided not to pursue the missing hearing aid since mom still had 1 left. The next negative experience was when my sister arrived and was told by my mom's roommate that my mom Fell Out Of Bed !! That was quite surprising especially since mom was bedridden and not able to move by herself. First of all neither of us were called and notified. Once my sister began questioning staff we then learned that while a CNA was washing her, she turned my mom too far and that's how she fell out of the bed. Yes they took ex-rays and no bones were broken but not to be notified was quite alarming and poor administration protocol. Other staff could not believe we weren't called. There was a meeting arranged with the head of nursing Shannon and my sister a few days later. The results were a bunch of excuses why we weren't called, like they didn't know I was the POA ( which was clearly a lie, as that is the first form along with end of life wishes you fill out!) . All we got was lip service and a lot of excuses why we weren't called. This to me was totally unacceptable and when I saw Shannon a few days later and tried to speak to her she was extremely rude and unprofessional to me. This is my personal experience with Bayside Health and Rehab from June 2025 thru beginning Sept. 2025

My husband was transferred to Bayside after being in ICU and step-down for over a week following a…read morehemorrhagic stroke. He could only eat a mechanical diet (finely chopped foods) or pureed food, but he was receiving the same type food as everyone else (which was a choking hazard). His liquids were supposed to be without ice and thickened using a thickener (I provided some packets), but they brought him ice water to drink (another choking hazard). I would point this out each time they brought his food and/or drink wrong, and I would get "Not my job" or "Not my problem". At the end of the third day, I had heard those two statements over 16 times (I stopped counting at that point). It was four days before I spoke with anyone other than the CNAs, Nurses, other medical staff, and housekeeping (they were the nicest). None of the medical staff identified the role or advised if they were a nurse, CNA, volunteer, etc., with the exception of the CNA the first night - it was her first day on the job and her third day after completing her training. I watched as patients rang for assistance, and saw that for some it took well over an hour for a response (medical staff were at the central desk, most of them talking not working). The gentleman my husband was sharing a room with rang for help getting to the restroom, and after over 75 minutes someone (nurse or CNA) came in and when she found he had wet himself chewed him out for not waiting!!! Then she said it wasn't her job to clearn him up!!! He was supposed to have daily physical and occupational therapy as well as speech therapy. In the six days he was there, he had a single session of speech therapy and approximately 60 minutes of physical therapy. We started working on getting him transferred, and were fortunate to find a bed at Lake Taylor, but getting him discharged from Bayside was another problem. Lake Taylor had a bed ready for him on Tuesday, and they had sent their paperwork to the person "in charge" of transfers, but she did not return any of my calls or messages. By Friday of that week, I had arranged for medical transportation to take him to Lake Taylor that afternoon. After he was on the gurney and ready to be moved, a woman came running down the hall saying "I forbid him to leave". She was the person I had been trying to get all week. Long story short (too late), I gave her 5 minutes to provide me with the needed paperwork, or the gentlemen with the gurney were leaving with my husband and taking him to Lake Taylor. We left in about 4 minutes and 47 seconds. He has been at Lake Taylor for about a month and a half, physical and occupational therapy 5-6 days/week and some days more than once, his has finished speech therapy, and is improving. The difference between Bayside and Lake Taylor wasn't night and day, it was 2 miles down in a coal mine and day. DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES THERE!!!!

Checkin was easy, they send you registration information before your appointment. Trinity was very knowledgeable, was thorough in explaining the exercises, the objectives of the therapy, took baseline stats/measurements. Gave you at home exercises to do in between PT sessions, even available on your portal. Scheduling subsequent sessions was a breeze. Diamond was accommodating with regards to the schedule, a printed copy is provided for reference. I have been to other PT locations but this one tops the list.

I'd like to start by saying that while I haven't visited the physical building, I was referred here…read moreby my doctor to work with a dietitian to help me lose weight and improve my health. This isn't something I ever would have considered earlier in my life--not for any particular reason, I just wouldn't have done it. However, for the past four months, I have been working with Dennis Bueso, MA, RD (Clinical/Sports Dietitian), and the experience has been nothing like I expected. Being very overweight, I anticipated someone taking charge of the conversation and lecturing me on what I 'better' start doing. I think TV gave me a twisted idea of how these things go. Thankfully, it hasn't been like that at all. Our conversations are excellent and open. Mr. Bueso is incredibly 'chill' and immediately sets you at ease; it feels like a normal, back-and-forth conversation between two people. He is great at following up and is just a genuinely easy person to talk to. Since starting, I've seen amazing results. For those who know what A1C is, mine had been double what it should be for over five years. In just four months, I've brought it down to exactly where it's supposed to be. I give myself credit for controlling my diet, but Dennis has been instrumental in helping me understand what to watch and work on. In addition to the blood work, I've lost over 30 pounds in that same timeframe. I definitely want to give props and thanks to Mr. Bueso. If your doctor has recommended a dietitian, just do it. I worried about how it would go, but those worries were unnecessary. It has been a great experience. We only get one shot at life; I may have started this battle late, but I'm determined to battle to the end. Thank you if you read all my ramblings. :) Thank you again Dennis. Tim

They also give you exercises that you can do at home. I went for the dry needling, but found out my insurance doesn't cover it, but you have the option to pay out of pocket. The room is wide open so it will be several other patients getting worked on at the same time. They do have some private rooms. You're given several exercises to build your strength back up in whatever area you have issues with, and they also incorporate some massage, and heating pads into your treatment. It's about an hour visit, and you're in and out. Wear something comfy. I have used them in the past as well and think its a nice office to use for your therapeutic needs. Check them out!!

Could I be more thankful for Direct Performance?…read more I started running 5 years ago and have visited Direct Performance for small group training, physical therapy, and massage therapy. My most recent visit was for massage therapy, right before the stay at home order was issued. Even before things were mandated, DP started enforcing new policies to best protect their staff and visitors. My massage was with Rachel K. This is not the person who is going to massage you to sleep and put you in a relaxed state of mind. This is the person who is going to give your exhausted and worked muscles the attention they need. It's a true sports massage and a real treat for your body. My experience with physical therapy here was great! Brian helped me through an issue with my calf using a combination of dry needling and physical therapy. They are now offering telehealth appointments which is great in our current situation. Thanks for everything Direct Performance!
