Referrals are always welcomed, however you may not need a referral to see your physical therapist.  Occassionally some insurance companies still require a referral, if you have questions whether a referral may be needed, contact our clinic and we can assist you. If you need a referral, we can also assist in helping to set up an appointment with the physician of your choice if required.

If you do not need a referral, our friendly staff will be able to assist you in setting up an your initial evaluation.
