Reviews
Cannot give enough positive feedback about my experience with Lisa and the crew at Desert Hand & PT on Indian School. In AZ temporarily, they fit me into the schedule as a new patient for sciatica, hip and leg pain/numbness. Four dry needling/PT treatments over 10 days and my symptoms are greatly improved. I am so grateful for Lisa’s care and expertise! Highly recommend.
I have been coming here for three months now for PT on two broken wrists. Troy has been absolutely amazing as my PT. He is kind, and extremely knowledgeable. I am seeing great progress. He gives me good homework exercises to keep myself strengthening on my off days. He is giving me functionally related exercises to help with my occupation which is huge. Emily and Leslie are wonderful as well. Everyone really is very kind and are truly interested in the patient improving and getting the most out of therapy. Thank you!
