I have been a patient of Robert Punt for some four years. I first saw him on the rebound. My doctor had sent me to a standard physical therapy clinic for treatment of a hip problem. After about three weeks of treatment and home exercise my pain was worse, not better. I reported this to the doctor, who promptly sent me to Punt.\r
\r
At my first appointment, Punt questioned me intently, checked a few things out, and said he could see why my pain had worsened with the prior treatment ? I had been mis-diagnosed. He explained he always does his own diagnosis, regardless of the doctor?s diagnosis. This is part of his training, most of which was in Holland, his native country. At the end of treatment, my condition was completely resolved. Since then, I have seen Punt for treatment of wrist and foot conditions, and am currently finishing a course of treatment for an injury. \r
\r
I have recommended Punt to several friends, all of whom have been very pleased with their treatment. He helped one friend regain range of motion with a shoulder that had no cartilage left. And he helped improve the quality of life of another friend in the last few months of his life. It was wonderful to see him glow after his treatments.\r
\r
Not only is Punt an extraordinary physiotherapist, he is a caring person who is sensitive to his patients? individual situations and gives of himself over and above what is expected or required.\r
\r
The office staff has been very helpful in talking with my health insurance companies. They have gone out of their way to verify what the policies would cover and what my costs would be, to make sure there were no surprises.\r
\r
In the tradition of ?form follows function,? the Punt Physiotherapy Center has just moved into a beautiful new clinic that Punt himself designed to enhance his treatment programs. You can feel the difference when you walk in. It will likely set a new standard for physical therapy clinics.
Pros: Excellent treatment, beautiful setting, friendly people
