Hear It From Our Patients

My PT experience and care team at Mid-County PT far exceeded my expectations. From the moment I had my consultation with Charlie I knew I was at the best place to get PT for my post-surgical bilateral knee replacements. Charlie and Victoria immediately started me working out that same day. No time to waste!! The facility is very clean and has plenty of equipment for a very busy practice. I never waited to use the equipment during my sessions. My PT care team was extremely knowledgeable, respectful, encouraging, friendly and caring. They always pushed me to get my best outcome from my sessions which resulted in the confidence I needed to succeed. My PT team became family to me. They were my biggest cheerleaders. The entire staff was so pleasant and helpful even if they weren’t assigned to my care team; everyone truly works as a team there. The atmosphere was always pleasant and happy and that atmosphere encouraged me to work harder. I believe that atmosphere just comes naturally by Charlie from his kind and caring personality which is reflected in his staff. From the sweet receptionists who were always helpful especially in making my appointments, to my PT team, Charlie, Jen, Victoria, Ian, Lucy, Ingrid and Kaitlyn they were all awesome and fun to work with. I am forever grateful for the care I received from everyone at Mid-County PT. I would highly recommend them for your PT needs. Thanks so much for your help and expertise in my recovery!! The Mid-County PT team are superstars!!

Charles Mills was my assigned therapist. Sometimes Jen was my therapist. They are both very thorough, and they really listen. I went for shoulder & neck pain for about two months (twice a week). I feel great now! My shoulder works perfectly w/o pain, and my neck pain is gone. Mr. Mills is very kind and has a great sense of humor, which put me at ease. Jen was also wonderful. The other staff members are also very nice and really seem to care. I’m so glad my doctor referred me to Mid-County Physical Therapy. If I ever need therapy again, that’s where I’m going!
