What People Are Saying

'“By far the best Physical Therapy is Santa Cruz!  Great environment, everyone is very friendly and refer to you by name making you feel right at home.  I’ve never experienced physical therapy that was this thorough and attentive.  My recovery has been much faster than I expected (I had shoulder surgery) thanks to the treatment I received.  I highly recommend Premier to anyone needing therapy.”

“I had injured myself and needed to have surgery on my hip. I was referred to Premier Physical Therapy in SC and I am so grateful I was. The entire staff, (interns, reception, PT's, everyone) is so nice and helpful. Surgery had an estimated 6-8 month recovery time, and today was my 6 month and final session. They literally got be back up and running again! Thank you team, for working through the pain, the recovery and the restrengthening with me!”

“I had left and then right shoulder surgeries by Dr Spiegel and his PA Andrew Dorosin. After a few weeks of healing, I came to Premier Physical Therapy. The staff made me feel so comfortable and didn't push me to do anything I didn't want to or couldn't do. My results?  100%. I owe this to the wonderful doctor, his PA and Premier Physical Therapy. Should I ever need PT again, I will definitely request to go there!”
