Bennett Rehabilitation Institute - Susan E. Bennett PT & Associates

When you become ill and your body doesn't work the way it should, whether its from a disease/disorder, injury, or surgery its scary to feel that loss of independence. Whether its for a short period of time or a lifelong battle. A Physical Therapist who has the ability to truly hear, clarify, and convey understanding of the obstacles you face is so important. All that leads to trusting your therapist and working on a treatment plan to find physical aids or exercises that are safe and produce results. Thank you Matt O. for your knowledge and professionalism.

Throughout life I've received physical therapy for a variety of conditions. Some twenty years ago due to numerous symptoms of MS I was sent to Susan Bennett Rehab and thankfully Matt became (and continues to be) my physical therapist. He's one of the most knowledgeable, insightful, persistent and caring providers I have encountered throughout life. His professionalism, continual learning, compassion and understanding of the human condition serves his patients well. Matt's understanding of the condition, it's effects and the wide ranging needs of people living with MS has been key in helping me successfully navigate life contending with multiple and ever-changing symptoms including balance, strength, mobility and a list too long for this space. I recommend Matt for anyone suffering from the conditions in which Bennett Rehab specializes and more. The environment is both professional and welcoming to those with basic or complex physical therapy needs. Thank you Matt and SB PT & R!

I saw Matt at first for vestibular therapy after I got a concussion. I didn’t know what to expect from it, but he turned out to be the ONLY professional that I encountered after this horrible injury to make any difference in my recovery. It took a few months of regular therapy and practicing on my own, but eventually I was feeling much better and as recovered as I could be. We stopped our sessions on great terms, and I was able to get back to the gym. Fast forward a bit, and I got another injury, completely different (Achilles tendinitis). The place that diagnosed it had PT available for it, but not for several months. It occurred to me to reach out to Matt again and see if he could help me out with this as well. Turns out, he could, and much sooner than the other place! Again, in just a couple months, he had me right back to normal. He is very passionate about helping his patients recover from injuries and get back to their regular routines. I don’t doubt that I’ll get another injury again in my life, and he will be the first person I ask to help fix it. I’d recommend his expertise to anyone seeking any kind of physical rehabilitation/therapy.

have been going to Susan Bennett rehabilitation for about 15 years and have always seen Matt as my physical therapist. well Matt was away on vacation. I had the honor and privilege of meeting and working with Susan Bennett, Who was absolutely outstanding . She did an amazing job, passing down and training her physical therapists in the same way she listens to patients and helps in anyway possible. I have mitochondrial myopathy and severe osteoarthritis. I had nine surgeries most of which were joint replacements in three years. Unfortunately I have to have one of my knee replacements redone because it failed. I have found that Susan Bennett rehabilitation is one of the only places that really understands and treats people with mitochondria myopathy. Matt is very caring and understanding and really listens to what you say. I don’t think I would be as far as I am without the help from Matt. I would highly recommend Susan Bennett rehabilitation

99% of staff could care less about you. Youre supposed to have a half hour sessio mn but instead they're five or ten m minutes late and I leave early so you spend 29 minutes there. Highly dont recommend, especially if you want privacy. Everybody shared the same room and it's the most irritating situation while you're trying "relax"

I saw Matt in Orchard Park for my vertigo and he took such time with for my consultation. He explained everything in detailed with pictures and descriptions of my issue. I waited years to have the Epley Maneuver because I was a little worried about it causing more dizziness. He took it slow and what a difference. I feel amazing! I highly recommend him!!

All of the people who work here are wonderful from the receptionists to the physical therapists to the PTA students from NCCC. This specific site was recommended by the PT at BGH where I was hospitalized after a stroke. I experienced definite improvement, and continue to progress as I do the recommended home exercises.

My husband receives excellent care for his stroke rehabilitation from the therapists and assistants at Susan Bennett PT. They specialize in neurological rehab and have helped my husband improve his walking endurance and strength.
