Question 3

Why don't you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

Our mission is to put the power of your health and wellness back into your hands.  In order to provide high quality, personalized care we have chosen quality over quantity. The care you receive at traditional physical therapy clinics contracted with insurance carriers is often dictated or influenced by health insurance companies. By not accepting insurance, we can offer individualized care to achieve your goals. Our goal is to spend one-on-one time with patients to gain results faster in a shorter amount of time.
