Spaulding Rehabilitation Network

Two years ago I had a very serious leg injury and received physical therapy at both MGH and Spaulding, Boston. They did such a great job in Boston that I hesitated staying local for PT on my opposite leg. Braintree is just a couple of miles from where I live so it was a convenient choice but I was used to Boston and convinced I could only receive great PT there. I am pleased to have been proven wrong. The facilities at Spaulding Braintree are top notch, the staff is professional\ knowledgeable in insurance matters and the therapist with whom I was assigned (although you can choose) is expert in her field. Joanne E knows her stuff and motivates in a way that is not forceful but skilled in the art of getting you physically where you need to be. Joanne made it clear what I needed to do to reach my goal but she also made it fun. afterall, who looks forward to PT?.. I did. I was not only impressed by Joanne’s general knowledge of my injury but also her indepth insight into treatment methods. she was able to answer any random question with ease. No need to drive all the way to Boston for high quality physical therapy, it can be found close to home at Spaulding, Braintree.

I was referred to Spaulding Braintree after seeing my PCP with a running injury. I was referred to Dr. Carina O’Neill, who I can’t say enough good things about. She took only a few minutes in determining my injury was a hip joint injury. She proceeded with setting me up with an x ray and MRI. In the midst of all my appointments with her she really listened to me, understood my pain, and help set my expectations for what the outcome may be. When the x ray and MRI came back inconclusive she prescribed physical therapy.
I saw Janine for PT twice a week for two months. She was great too. She always explained everything she did during our sessions, answered any question I had, gave me a lot of homework to do at home or at the gym, and was generally friendly and put my mind at ease during this tough time.
My experiences here, while under crappy circumstances, were really positive. The staff is efficient and very nice. Everyone here made a very difficult time for me a little bit more bearable and I was grateful for that.
