"She was very thorough in conducting tests. Unfortunately, since I was having no symptoms, she could not see anything. I was thankful she explained just what was causing the problems. She encouraged me to call her office first thing in the morning the next time I have problems. She said she would try to get me in the same day so as to catch the problems in action, whereupon she could work out a course of action. I cannot tell you how comforting that is. She was professional and did not talk down to me despite her extensive knowledge and my total ignorance of the problem. She is a valuable member of your staff."

"I was a little nervous about my procedure, but I knew it would help with my problem. Dr. Susmarski, Kari and Megan, all took great care of me, during my cervical epidural. Kari followed up with me, later in the day, to see how I was doing and if I had any questions."

"The provider failed introduced the student that was accompanying her. She basically treated him as though he was invisible. Having been an educator for many years who supervised interns. This was important oversight on her part."

"I have to say our session was a bit confusing on the "feeling" level. Ms. Kass seemed annoyed...with us? with something personal? There was no eye contact and no response to any humor. I felt we were wasting her time. I am a caregiver for my husband who was receiving PT for falling issues. He has advanced dementia and I am trying to keep him at home. We did receive exercises and a cursory lesson using the rollator. I was hoping for more direction in helping him navigate inclines, but was told none was available."

"It seems like PT has become a money grab. I can use google and get the same exercises. Dr. Scott talked about L5/S1 as being the problem area but PT stated no we are treating your whole back. I guess reading the report from the MRI was not part of my care for the PT people."
