Gulfcoast Physical Therapy SARASOTA

"This is an excellent group. Personalized care and results oriented. This is my second go-around with Gulf Coast and I requested my physician write my script to them."

"Came to do rehab after 6 weeks in a wheelchair with broken ankle and other residual body imbalances from a major fall. Place is dark, dingy, small room with tables very close together and staff unfriendly. They were using the same pillows on patients without any pillow cases. No questions regarding the injury to understand why I was there. First visit was average at most and I almost cancelled my second visit due to unclean place with pillows being used with no pillow cases and therapy lacking. Second visit lazy therapist didn't want to do the necessary work to help with my issues instead put me directly on a bike and I asked to be stretched first due to extreme pain and his reply was to leave if I could not do the bike. He said is your ride here, you need to go. Wow, what ever happened to compassion and helping those in need. The only reason for coming to physical therapy was for relief. I can ride an exercise bike at home. There are other choices better than this place! F- Bye Bye Donnie"

"I am very fortunate to have recovered so well from my knee replacement surgery. My recovery is due to the excellent physical therapy that was provided to me by Kevin, who was my primary physical therapist, and other team members, Tom. Cory and Don. From Kevin’s initial evaluation to the implementation of a treatment plan, i was confident I was in good hands. Kevin and all the physical therapy staff are very experienced and knowledgeable, having worked in the field for many years . My hour long therapy (3 times a week for month ) consisted of hot packs to start, manual stretching by Kevin and a variety strengthening exercises using therapy equipment......followed up at the end by ice packs. I was always carefully supervised while exercising to make sure I was in the proper position and doing the motions correctly. I experienced quite a bit of pain with this surgery....and this is normal for knee replacement surgery. What I particularly appreciated was the encouragement and positive outlook by all the therapy staff. Even though I was initially physically uncomfortable, particularly in the beginning, Kevin and the staff kept reassuring me that I was doing well and explained what to be expect in terms of my therapy progress. The therapy clinic is attractive and very clean. The atmosphere is one of a friendly nature and congeniality among all the staff members who clearly work as a team. Their good humor made me relax and feel comfortable. I actually enjoyed coming in for physical therapy, even though I knew that I had to work hard and experience some discomfort. This is (2019) second time I have been to Gulf Coast Physical Therapy. I was there in 2017 for rehabilitation for having my other knee replaced. Again it was an excellent experience and I recovered well."

"My father came down for 2 weeks to visit and is post shoulder surgery so he had to continue his PT while he was here. He was so impressed by Kevin and Tom and the whole gulf coast team. So friendly and personable, not to mention the great therapy he received from them! Thank you for all your help! I highly recommend this place for all your therapy needs."

"Compassionate, caring, friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff! Highly recommend this outstanding facility. Don and Cory were my physical therapists..outstanding! After a patellar fracture, surgery and a long time in a wheelchair, i came to this facility using a cane and not walking well at all...im now back on the golf course!"
