Richard is awesome! This whole office is great and they've massively helped in a short time. Easy booking and they're a fun, caring and knowledgeable group. I actually look forward to seeing them and every time I'm learning new tools and healing. I appreciate them and easily recommend them.

Loved going here! I had an injury and was referred to do physical therapy at spine and sport, I choose to come here which is the closest branch to me. Really great decision! The staff and the professionals who help patients recover from injuries or problems painful body parts, are very good at what they do! Everyone is so nice and positive, and I want to say that Richard is really is great and feels good to work with him and all the other staff. Thank you for helping me heal my body! Feeling good. Hopefully I don’t have to come back, but if I need to I know I would be in good hands.

I was referred to this Spine and Sport location by my PCP because I’ve been dealing with chronic back pain for a long time, along with episodes of sciatica on the left side of my lower body after overextending during aerial silks. I specifically requested Richard, since I had read better reviews about him compared to the other PTs at this facility, and I thought I would be in good hands. After my initial assessment, Richard told me that he ultimately believed my back pain had nothing to do with my back, but was instead caused by issues with my lower body. He said we would work on strengthening both my lower body and my back, then scheduled me for PT sessions with him every Friday for the next few months. I left that appointment feeling confused and uneasy, with a strong gut feeling that something wasn’t right. How could my back pain have nothing to do with my back? I was completely baffled by his conclusion and decided not to return. I tried another PT afterwards, but unfortunately, that experience wasn’t helpful either, so I stopped PT altogether for a while. A couple of months later, my back pain became unbearable. I went back to my PCP and asked for X-rays, which revealed that I have severe degenerative disc disease at L1–L2 along with arthritis in my spine—something that had been developing for some time. So what does this say? Richard, the so-called “PT,” had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. I am stunned by this level of ignorance and negligence from a "professional". After a full assessment, he not only told me my back pain wasn’t related to my back—a claim that is about as absurd as it gets—but he also pushed me to commit to months of PT with him instead of referring me for further imaging or evaluation, which is what he should have done. Please avoid this place like the plague. It is a complete sham and a scam. The fact that I, the patient, had more sense than the person who is supposed to be a trained professional caring for people in pain is both alarming and unacceptable. Please get your PT care elsewhere!!

I give Richard Miller 5 stars for the amazing and caring physical therapist he is. He is so attentive and is always able to help multiple people at once. Bryan on the other hand is too preoccupied helping one person and forgets about the rest that there to start their session. Bryan needs to be more attentive and be able to help everyone just like Richard does. I told Bryan you haven't told me what to do at all. I was trying to remember what Richard has shown me to do while I was waiting for you to finally come over and talk to me and his excuse is he's busy. No that's not an excuse because if Richard is able to help 3 or 4 people at the same time then so can Bryan.
