Central Virginia Physical Therapy

I had spine surgery in the summer and have been seeing Natalie since. Insurance played around with us and I had a month long gap before I began self-pay appointments and in that time, I got significantly worse. Natalie figured out the largest problem in about 5 minutes and added an exercise that has almost eliminated the incapacitating pain in 2.5 weeks. She’s extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and has realistic views of what level of home workout is doable with a busy schedule. The entire staff is very dedicated. Peyton at the front desk has been fighting with my insurance for 2 months, which shouldn’t be necessary as my surgeon gave me a new prescription after the first denial and I have “great” insurance, but that’s insurance - she’s been arguing with them the entire time, had kept me updated and has never taken out what has to be epic levels of frustration out on me. The techs are great, patient and friendly and they do their best to keep the atmosphere upbeat. I’ve had PT twice previously for other issues, this is a better experience than my last and equivalent to the first - where I was pure self pay so I’m sure they made more than my insurance pays. I have had a bumpy and weird recovery from C5-C6 fusion surgery, to say the least, but this place has provided the best support and help I could have asked for. I only see Natalie, so I can’t personally speak to the other therapists here, but I would recommend her to anyone who needs PT. You won’t regret it.

In the rehab from my total knee replacement, Rich Linkonis provided the most comprehensive hands-on treatment. He was always pleasant and professional. The mood in his place was so encouraging. Demetrius, his assistant, helped me with every step of my therapy as prescribed by Rich. I would recommend this PT location to anyone, regardless of orthopedic issue.

I had an unusual situation and Central Virginia Physical Therapy was the answer. I’ve been living temporarily in Richmond. A problem developed in my ankle and a local orthopedic surgeon referred me for physical therapy. My stepdaughter here recommended Central Virginia Physical Therapy because of the care and treatment she has received there. But before I could start my therapy regimen with Central Virginia PT, I was scheduled to be transferred out of the area. However, I asked if, before I left, they could advise me on how to put on and walk in the CAM boot the orthopedist had recommended. The staff at Central Virginia PT was so accommodating and helpful in scheduling the appointment I needed on short notice before I left. Natalie, my therapist, worked with me to ensure that the boot would fit correctly and gave me some home routines to do until I can start outpatient PT at my next location. Everyone at Central Virginia PT is so friendly and generous with their time and their skills. I strongly recommend them based on my experience and that of my stepdaughter.

I am very satisfied with my progress because of the knowledge and professionalism of Natalie. She was very focus on a detail plan of action which led to my quick recovery from knee surgery. Natalie is the BEST.

TLDR: Central Virginia Physical Therapy is amazing, and should be at the top of your list for physical therapy providers. I have been treated by Andrew at Central Virginia Physical Therapy on and off for many years due to long term effects from back surgery. The "off" years are my fault - Andrew and the entire staff have always been lovely. I've never been made to feel less due to weight, capability, or anything else. Andrew meets me where I am, listens to my concerns, and I'm not afraid to ask for modifications to my exercises or speak my mind if I don't feel comfortable with something. On the off chances I've been seen by other providers when Andrew is out, I've had no issues. After their remodel, the space is even more optimized. They run like a well oiled machine, the iPads allow techs to stay on the same page (even though the iPads rebel every now and then) everyone is friendly, and I have never seen another patient who is unhappy with the care they've received (at least not in the office, haha.) They treat folks from all walks of life, and they are bar none the best physical therapy practice I've been to.

Unfortunately, my experience has since changed since my initial rating. The lack of professionalism extended to me during a sensitive time was extremely disappointing. I'm not finished treatment and I have not returned because of my last interaction with them. I'm using this time to determine if I should resume treatment at CVPT or elsewhere. The five stars is for Natalie and the other professionals in the treatment area. Negative stars for P and H at the "reception" area.

This is a great physical therapy group! Andrew and the team worked with me and I recovered beautifully as a result of their care and guidance. From the front desk to the therapists, the facility consists of friendly, professional and knowledgeable people. I remain very appreciative of all they did to get me on the road to recovery.

Andrew helped me understand my limitations and issues that contributed to my pain following complicated lumbar fusion surgery. His desire to not only show his patients various exercises and routines that address their problems but also explain why they are necessary is the unique quality that makes Central Virginia PT the very best! The staff also follows your every action, correcting, explaining and helping patients as well. Everyone working here is personable, respectful, encouraging and patient. I will always only go to this PT for any future needs.
