Stephanie Hoglievina2025-04-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend!!! The quality and attention to every detail of your medical situation given at Optimal Performance Physical Therapy is incredible. The current medical landscape lends itself to a few minutes of treatment and you are in your own. Not at Optimal Performance they take pride in devoting themselves to thorough diagnostics and individualized care. The therapists are hands on and very involved in your recovery and goals. Perla Pena2025-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Caring, professional, and providing detailed feedback to assist clients. Peter McCabe2025-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great group of physical therapists! They spend time with you individually – for the entire hour – and develop a program for your specific needs. Can’t say enough good things about them. David Boyd2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been dealing with a shoulder injury for around 6 months before seeing Dr. White. I had already seen another PT previously who had done a good job working with me, but I will have to say Dr. White took it to another level. After 3 weeks my shoulder is feeling better than it had been in the past 6 months. Dr. White's eval and treatment he performed in just one appointment helped so much and have seen nothing but improvement since implementing his recommendations at the gym. I would recommend Dr. White to anyone who's looking to get better and is tired of being in pain. Curt Conrad2025-02-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been to several physical therapists before, but I will never go anywhere but Optimal PT from now on. They are so knowledgable and thorough, it is really great! Pamela Jackson2025-02-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve tried several physical therapists over the years and this is really the first place that I feel really knows their business. Dr. Brandon White is the best! K. Cowan2025-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Optimal Performance physical therapy in general, and Dr. Mariah (Mo) Hardemann specifically, get my highest rating and recommendations for all of your PT needs. I have been a patient of Dr. Mo for several months and she has eliminated my elbow pain from severe tendonitis, something no one else has been able to do for the past few years. She has also helped to restore mobility in my left shoulder and avoid surgery. Dr Mo is thorough, highly professional, personable and, most importantly, gets results! Thank you Dr Mo! FIVE STARS! Dale Littwin2024-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both Brandon and Mo are absolute top-notch physical therapists. I've used Optimal Performance for lower-back pain and also for shoulder replacement therapy and they exceeded my expectations for both. Yes, I would use them again and will highly recommend to anyone requiring physical therapy. SIR CHARLES MEDIA2024-12-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Optimal Performance Physical Therapy. If you’ve been injured as many times as I have, you know how crucial it is to find the right physical therapist for your recovery. I had a partially torn Achilles tendon that took much longer to heal because I was repeatedly given poor advice and neglected by other medical professionals. Optimal Performance turned everything around for me. Not only did they get my Achilles tendon on the right track, but they also identified and addressed other key issues with my movement in different parts of my body. By focusing on my overall mobility and taking the time to assess my entire body, they helped me become more active and confident in my movements. Their level of care is truly unmatched. Save yourself the time, frustration, and money by going straight to the right physical therapist. Optimal Performance operates out of a gym, with clean and well-maintained facilities. The atmosphere is quiet and intimate, free from distractions, allowing for a truly personalized experience. Their goal is not just to help you heal but to improve your overall quality of life. If you’re injured or have an old injury that still bothers you, do yourself a favor and book an appointment today.
