Physical Therapy in Chester

“Sean has been my physical therapist over 2 months. He listens to what I have to say and targets the areas that hurt while doing chiro. He challenges me in the exercises but doesn’t over do it. Sean has been a professional the whole time and I have seen an improvement since working with him.“

“I apologize for this long review, but I wanted to write this in response to some of the less-effusive ratings. I have been in several hospitals with friends and family over the years, and my family and I had a great experience with Crozer that put the care there on par with some of the best hospitals in the country. My dad suddenly got very ill over New Year's weekend. He was taken to Crozer because they were the only hospital in the area accepting patients in their ER (even via ambulance, he was turned away from other local hospitals). It wasn't our first choice, since the 'word on the street' was that Crozer was severely underfunded and understaffed. While we found that to be true the thoughtful care my dad received while he was there was even more impressive, given how many issues the doctors, nurses and administrators are dealing with. Within 30 minutes of arrival in the ER, Dad had been seen by a doctor and they had started running tests trying to figure out what exactly was going on. He was admitted as soon as a bed was available (maybe six or seven hours later?) He was put into a private room. Although it felt a little jumbled (there were supplies sort of sitting around) it was clean, and as comfortable as a hospital room can be, as was true of the hallways and general seating areas in the part of the hospital he was staying in. Dad ended up being there for (8 days? Can't remember for sure) but he had multiple doctors checking in on him each day, as well as working with a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a case manager, and constant care from the nurses. The nurses were also very kind and accommodating to me. The few times I really needed to speak to a doctor, they would page the doc so I could ask my questions directly. Although sometimes the doctors were cranky at having to come back, or slipped into patronizing doctor-speak, they did in fact come back and take the time to answer all my questions and make sure I was clear about what was going on, which, again, is more than I have found in some fancy-schmancy hospitals that get great reviews. (Also, most of the docs were lovely, but I was impressed that even the ones who fell into 'doctor' mode still took the time and made the effort, which they were under no obligation to do.) Lastly, although he had and was being treated for pneumonia, the docs felt that some of his symptoms were odd, and so continued to run tests the whole time he was there to make sure they weren't missing anything. Sure enough, turns out he tested positive for Typhus, which is something that is basically unheard of in the area. Once they adjusted the antibiotics, his recovery sped up. Most importantly, the nurses who were caring for my dad were incredible. They were thoughtful and knowledgeable and kind. As with every hospital, sometimes you would press the call button and it would take a while for someone to get to you, but the few times that happened I would go out into the hallways and find that the reason no one was responding was because they were all in other patients' rooms, responding to a previous call. Even the people who brought dad his food learned some of his habits (he doesn't like to drink water, but would drink it if it had some cranberry juice added) and made sure he always had extra cranberry juice on his trays, without being asked. While he was there, he was almost completely incapacitated - couldn't sit up or roll over in bed, certainly couldn't stand or walk - and the nurses were unfailingly gracious. They also paid close attention - one nurse noticed that his heart irregularity was tied to his fever spiking, and so made sure to keep a close eye on his temperature throughout the day. He was there for a while, and I am grateful to everyone at Crozer - from the friendly and upbeat security guy who greeted me every day and made me feel welcome, to the docs, nurses, techs, PT, OT, case managers, transport... It was a very stressful time, so my apologies to anyone whose name I forgot or misspelled, but “
