Well that is not what I have experienced at Shands (UF health) at Magnolia Park. The therapists have been exceptional. nothing short of incredible actually. Amanda is a spinal injury specialist and is on top of her game. She does not miss a beat. Katie and Prtha are also tops. They are all continually researching the best therapy and new cutting edge therapies. I've worked in Health care for almost 18 years and I've never seen the level of professionalism and attention to detail like I've seen here. I can't say enough great things. Recommend highly.

Magnolia Park is also convenient to get to from anywhere on the Northwest side of town. At peak hours parking can be difficult.

I am so happy that I started to work with Justin at Thompson Physical Therapy. I went into his…read moreoffice feeling discouraged, in pain and unsure when I could return to running. Having qualified for the 2020 Boston marathon, I had doubts I'd be able to train for it.  I left my first appointment feeling encouraged and empowered. Justin was able to diagnose my injury quickly, come up with a treatment plan and estimated I would be back to running in just a few weeks! To be honest I had my doubts when he said, "a few weeks". But trust him. He knows what he is doing! During our first few sessions, Justin did manual therapy on my ankle and was able to increase my dorsiflexion angle from 11 to 20. He also massaged the problem tendon area which gave me pain relief right away. Justin provided me with stretches/strengthening to do at home and a return to running plan. I followed everything as instructed, and just as he promised, in just a few weeks I have returned to running....Pain-free!  I can't recommend Justin enough. I'd also like to add that Justin has a running & soccer background and understands exercise-induced injuries very well. Thank you so much, Justin!

It was a bad experience that left a bad taste in my mouth. (& I'm not talking about the ginger. I like ginger.) While I was waiting for the manager, or whoever is in charge, I pulled a ginger chew out of my purse & ate it. When the brunette walked in she said under her breath, "that's a great way to start an interview." First of all, am I applying for a job here, or am i paying you for the physical therapy?? I'm paying "you", not the other way around. & my tummy hurt. That rude first impression made me not want to be there. & I ended up calling & making up some excuse to not have to finish out the last week or two. & to top it off, when I offered her a ginger chew, she made a look like she was disgusted, & said, "I HATE ginger." Rude. A kind "no thank you" would have been more appropriate. But I'll still give them 4 stars bc the physical therapy was consistent & the PTs were kind. I just couldn't stand the manager, or whoever "interviewed" me, & thank God I don't have to work for her, bc she's not so nice.

My HSG showed total blockage on both tubes. I was told IVF was my only chance at having a baby. I came here in May of 2021 and just tried to be open and receptive to the experience. I didn't really expect them to be able to clear my scar tissue, but I was hopeful. I felt very cared for by my therapists and enjoyed going to the clinic. Keep in mind this is not a relaxing Swedish massage though, there will be a little pain and discomfort as they work on your adhesions. I left Gainesville on May 6th and on June 20th I found out I was pregnant I am currently 25 weeks along and baby is doing great. I am extraordinarily grateful for this clinic and my therapists for restoring my fertility.

My husband had his first small bowel obstruction in June of 2022 and it was a harrowing experience…read morefor him, necessitating surgery to unblock it. When we left the hospital I searched online to find ANY options for prevention of this again in the future, and I was thrilled to find the Clear Passage online site which we both devoured in the days following his surgery. We decided to invest in our mental and physical well-being by taking money out of savings to go through the week-long physical therapy for him. Since it is a huge financial investment, we researched and chose one of Clear Passage's most experienced and committed physical therapists to work with, Sharon Hepburn, in St. Louis. We were NOT disappointed. We also learned that she is their Chief Operating Officer, and wow, were we grateful to have chosen her to work with. We had to wait to schedule the treatment for 3 months post-op and I just had my fingers crossed that we would make it to St. Louis before any recurrence of an obstruction. We did. We flew to St. Louis from California on a Sunday, settled into the comfortable hotel that they recommended, and then began therapy the next day. Sharon's office is located in a very nice suburb a short drive from the airport. There are gorgeous and spacious parks seemingly everywhere in this area and beautiful spacious estates. It was a lovely place to settle into for the week and we were fortunate to hit a week of gorgeous weather the last week of September. Between our daily sessions we had lovely picnics and walks in their parks. Sharon works with an excellent massage therapist, Maura Lee, and between the two of them we witnessed incredible shifts! I am a retired family therapist/psychotherapist and registered nurse, and I was enthralled and impressed to attend and witness each session. Sharon and Maura's deep knowledge and understanding of physiology, ability to tune into the body, adept capacity to work with emotions that arose in the treatment, and wisdom about what to do next was absolutely amazing and intriguing. The Clear Passage protocols are sequential and specific. We were both VERY impressed with the process and the results! My husband's belly is now soft and pliable. It was tight and lumpy when we arrived. A pain that he had in his lower back for many years is now resolved. He has specific self-exercises that he does daily and we both now know how to manage any recurrent obstructions should any recur, which I now strongly doubt will happen. We feel empowered and safe to travel should we choose to. We extend our very deep thanks and gratitude to Clear Passage for developing this protocol to bring health and freedom to us again, and we particularly thank the expertise and compassion of Sharon Hepburn and Maura Lee at the St. Louis Clear Passage office in St. Louis!
