Testimonials

My experience at North Lake Physical Therapy has been nothing less than exceptional. The therapists at North Lake know the exercises that each patient needs to improve, both in function as well as strength of the injured area. Furthermore, the therapists are attentive and driven at their work. Damn good!

Steve Pierson and the staff at North Lake Physical Therapy helped me overcome my injury and get me back on my feet. Having never experienced a serious injury until I had knee surgery, Steve and the staff helped me understand the dynamics of my injury and did what it took to get me back on course. They have a positive outlook and guided me through a very frustrating time. Thank you!

I would like to take this opportunity to share my personal experience at North Lake Physical Therapy. On 03-11-11(Friday) I walked into NLPT in excruciating spine-back pain when Emily W. could see I had difficulty standing. After a few questions Sara B. guided me into a consultation room for evaluation. Emily contacted my PCP and within 20 minutes I had ice packs placed where needed and Damon M. continued an evaluation in such a professional way. I had prior treatment for a sciatic pinched nerve several weeks before with no relief. Damon(PT) continued with my case until an MRI showed where a herniated disc blew away from spinal cord sending fluid to every nerve ending. I had surgery in March where disc was removed along with several nerves. After a hospital stay with aftercare treatment in a facility six weeks later, I was able to return to the kind and professional rehab at North Lake PT. where I continue to work towards better mobility. Some days are very challenging, however, with my personal experience, each employee, PT's, aide's, front desk staff(Emily and Chris) are there with a smile and to help you through painful days. In closing, I would like to say if you want to work towards a "wellness concept" and are willing to do your part as a patient, this is a team effort to help you with a before and after care surgery on shoulders, spine, back, knees, or strengthening. My special thanks to Damon M., PT, Sara B., Sara M., aide and Emily W. for outstanding patient care.

I cannot speak highly enough with respect to North Lake Physical Therapy. First, I was referred to NLPT by both my back surgeon and my knee surgeon, which speaks volumes about the respect NLPT has in the medical community. Second, the entire staff at the Lake Oswego NLPT is courteous, knowledgeable, trained and understanding of what a patient needs. My therapist, for both my total knee replacement and for my back surgery(laminotomy), has been Dominic Chambers, and everything about Dominic are superlatives: he, as well as other therapists at Lake Oswego NLPT, is/are knowledgeable and up-to-date on the latest in physical therapy methods. Dominic, and the other therapists, always explains what the best treatment is, answers all questions, explains what the alternatives are, shows the exact way an exercise should be done, and provides appropriate illustrations of the exercises. Dominic, and other therapists, lay out a reasonable regime of exercises which are measured at each session. Dominic, and other therapists, treat each patient individually and develop a unique regime tailored to fit the patients' needs. They work toward each patient reaching the limits of the exercise, but are patient and work to reach the level the patient can achieve.

The bottom line: Dominic, and the other therapists at Lake Oswego NLPT, are well trained, educated, and knowledgeable of the latest techniques and exercises, work out a regime uniquely tailored to a patient's needs and abilities, explain in detail what the exercises require from the patient and answer all questions from the patient, perform what they can do for a patient, and aids the patient while they do the exercises, yet is/are patient and understanding of the the pace a patient can work, and, is highly regarded by the Orthopedic surgeons whose patients are referred to Lake Oswego NLPT.

I would like to tell you of my experience with Northlake Physical Therapy --

One cannot shop physical therapy performance; one can only gauge the experience of other patients. In my experience, NLPT stands alone in their consistent dedication and skill to guide my recoveries. In my opinion, there are no other options to physical therapy - Only North Lake Physical Therapy.

I have been going to North Lake for many years. They are wonderful. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I find them professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. I am able to live the active, pain-free life I do because of the fantastic job they do.

When I walk into North Lake PT I am generally tired. After I walk out I'm refreshed and feel a lot better. I had a hip replacement about a month ago. The people at NLPT are very friendly and accommodating. They smile a lot. They are well educated which makes for interesting discussions and gives me confidence. NLPT is a fun place and it lifts my spirits every time I visit. I've had excellent care and rapid recovery under their supervision.

As I approach 89, I am thankful daily for the wonderful care and experience I've received here. I've been with North Lake for 3 years now and they keep me healthy physically and psychologically. I work out twice a week and feel and think younger due to this terrific group. They're stuck with me until the day I die.
