Dr. Kuwitzky has a strong understanding of the way the body works and why it hurts. She listens and then assesses to verify the challenge(s). She is also very compassionate and explains the "why" if asked. I've had a lot of physical therapy over the years and she is the best.

I have been going to Ortho Central Physical Therapy for 6+ wks after my full knee replacement & i HIGHLY recommend OCPT. All are good therapist but, i saw Daphne the most (she is Great), then i saw Amy & Corrine a few times (they were good, too). Check this OCPT OUT, you won't be disappointed!! ...Jamey

Amiee was great. She made sure that I was getting the most out of exercises (correct technique, to always using good form, and stretching the muscles in a safe manner). She also took time to show me at home stretching exercises that I can do. Greatly appreciate this. She showed great care and knowledge for clients getting back to their normal lives. Thank you.

Corrine was very good at the initial appointment. She has been very kind and considerate during each session. I seemed to progress a little faster than normal so I had to convince her to progress me a little quicker. She is very cautious, which is probably good for most patients.

Everyone in my family has been to Jimmy, and we won’t go anywhere else. Today was my very first visit. When I first arrived, I felt a little out of place. I didn’t have a big orthopedic surgery, so I thought maybe I was just wasting his time. When I went back, he listened to me, and made me feel like I mattered, (no matter how big or small my surgery was). He has a ton of experience, since he has been a physical therapist for a long time. He definitely walks the walk. I highly recommend Ortho Central! It is nice and clean, has a very comfortable waiting area. The lady at the front desk (Susie) is super friendly and accommodating. My husband is also in PT, and she was able to accommodate both of us at the same time.

Jimmy uses an extensive library of strengthening exercises specifically designed for the problem at hand! I’m always impressed at the diversity and knowledge he has regrading my specific needs. He is always adding new techniques to strengthen and heal targeted muscle groups and relieve pain. He truly is top notch and I trust him every time to help me deal with whatever ails this aging body!!

I had my shoulder done a little over a year ago. I’m moving my arm in every direction. A friend didn’t get the PT like I did at Ortho, she went somewhere else, she can still not move her arm even 50% like I can. Her PT experience wasn’t nearly as detailed as mine was. Highly recommend Ortho.

My impression is that she is very knowledgeable and the true expert in her field. She also seems to love her job very much and genuinely does her best to help patients go through rehab with the best possible results. I am recovering from ACL reconstruction surgery and my experience with physical therapy led by Shandra has been truly positive so far.

I cannot speak highly enough of Shandra and the rehab services that she and the entire staff at Ortho Central Physical Therapy provide. For the second time around, I have been going to PT here and she has truly worked miracles. The one-on-one is unique to each person and their recovery. Shandra genuinely cares about each patient and takes the time to educate you about your body and healing progress and limitations. The laughs provided during exercise are a welcome distraction to mind and body. I’ve met people of all ages here during recovery and we are all treated like one big family. Nothing but an A+ and a wonderful experience!
