My almost thirty years of running and the fall-out that ensues has finally caught up with me. I was informed that I had a torn meniscus that slowed me down to a painful crawl. I went to an orthopedic doctor who provided a cortisone injection. While this had previously worked on my right knee, it did nothing for my left knee. My family doctor referred me to Top Grade Physical Therapy. For context, I had been to another therapy place in McAllen previously where there were twenty plus participants on average at any given time with an army of therapists each doing their own thing and perhaps not doing enough for me. I was constantly lost in the shuffle. I thought Top Grade Physical Therapy would provide a similar experience. BOY WAS I WRONG! This place literally lives up to its name. As soon as you walk in, the climate exudes professionalism and caring. From my very first session, I received a personalized plan that targeted my particular pain points. Dr. Rufino Gutierrez and Valeria Gutierrez, two very skilled professionals, along with Armando who provides valuable support and manages the appointment process and schedule, provided me with laser focused quality therapy at every point along the way. Because it is a small team, they are able to provide the one-on-one individualization and scheduling required for a successful outcome. Each session consisted of massaging the areas causing the pain as well as exercises to help with the physical development. These two outstanding skilled therapists really care. They provided the empathy and interest required for my success with onsite and at-home follow-up exercises. I was pain free in a few sessions. The team at Top Grade are heroes of therapeutic care. As such, I highly recommend Top Grade Physical Therapy to anyone that may need therapeutic care. This is my "go to" in case I should require additional services. Thank you Rufino, Valeria and Armando. read more
