I’ve been to physical therapy in the traditional sense where a doctor refers you to one through insurance. Back then, it was for fiery back pain. I always felt like I was thrown to any young med student to babysit me before the therapist could actually see me, at which point, I was only given about 10 minutes of their time, and was juggled between other clients. However, with Dr. Linda Nguyen, it’s a completely different experience; I pay for the therapist’s time, attention, expertise, and advise. I’m her only client for the specified time period, and receive her full attention and knowledge. She explains what I’m doing and why, helping me truly understand the why behind the how. I’ve got a fully torn ACL, 2 tears on my meniscus, a bone bruise, and 2 loose ligaments due to a great ski accident. Due to my funny walking, my fiery back pain from the year prior returned with this injury. In just one week of visiting Dr. Linda, sticking to the exercises she prescribed along with icing daily, the fiery back pain I developed was gone, my knee is able to straighten, and my walk isn’t as wobbly. I know I’ll be in great hands post-op, thanks Dr. Linda!
