Hear From Patients:
“When I was discharged, I was assigned to OakBend outpatient physical therapy and I met the most wonderful staff. When I came to OakBend I could not walk, talk, or write so they had a lot of work to do. My first physical therapist was Lisa and she was positively awesome. I was willing to do whatever she asked me to do. She started off slow but she increased it as it went on. I would not be walking, talking, or able to write a little bit if it had not been for the staff, therapists, and their assistants here because they were totally awesome.” – Linda T.
“I improved greatly during my time in therapy. At the end of my scheduled therapy, they suggested I do Lifestyles to keep on improving. The friendliness of the people starts the moment you walk in the door. They always told you that you were doing a good job and improving, so it was wonderful to be there.” – Ruth V.
