JOHN T.
James was my pre- and post-operative PT for my spinal fusion surgery (L3-L4). While my surgeon set the stage for my recovery to health, it was James’ intuitive, compassionate, and knowledgeable approach that took me across the finish line.
He has returned my body back to full functionality and made me a better version of myself.
He has my highest recommendation.
