I had knee realignment surgery 3 weeks ago and finding a physical therapist was really causing me stress. I so happened to come across family care plus and left a voicemail and the therapist himself called me back the next morning and got me in the very same day. He is so kind and personable and he really pushes you but pushes you with kindness and gentleness and celebrates your wins big or small!

I am really blessed to have found him. After two days, my walking is much better, my pain is better. I really look forward to each visit. Thank you so much for your service. You are amazing and I will recommend you to everyone!

When I first went in I could hardly walk due to hurting my knee. Day to day living was very difficult. I believe I had 10 maybe a couple more visits with the office, and when I was finished I was basically walking normal. He explained everything very thoroughly to me. I have a difficult schedule to work with and the staff worked with me anytime I had to change my appt. I would recommend this office every time.

Very nice people, but in my experience they don't know very much about knee therapy. He dropped my leg twice from the air knowing my muscles were too weak to hold my own, after I just had my 4th major knee surgery & I started crying in pain and he left. Never apologized or owned up to his mistake. Unfortunate. Edit after owners response; I've never ONCE asked for any pain pills from you nor did I say that in my review so I have no idea what you're talking about.

And rightfully so I have had a lot of bad experiences with Healthcare just read my reviews and you'll see why I have them. This was unprofessional and rude. Take responsibility. ** You have no idea what I have gone through in this surgery. I was denied for no reason from disability even though I've had this horrible disability for over 10 years, . How would I have used you when I have health insurance of my own?

I have NO money coming in so yes, I made a gofundme because I NEED help since I got denied from people who were supposed to help me! And false information about Dr's instructions?! I gave you the protocol they gave me and I followed it?! Also you are violating my HIPAA rights!

I have back and hip problems, first visit Sachin Desai rotated my leg and hip so bad it popped. now 3 days in pain so bad I can't walk. After hurting my hip, Sachin told me he will kick me out of therapy, if I didn't do everything he told me to do. Not sure I will go back.

I've had chronic neck pain from a car accident from 2011. It is 2018 and still have pain. This year I have take two consecutive sessions of physical therapy and my quality of life has improved at least by 75%. I used to feel very old. I'd want to come home and do nothing but lay down. But now I can do regular normal activities. Its great. Staff, the facility and Dr Sachin are awesome. Thank you.
