Synchrony PT Philosophy
You are the most important member of your health care team! We want you to be an informed consumer when you select your teammates.
We routinely comparison shop before a big purchase like a car, a new television, a computer… do we allow ourselves that level of research and consideration when we choose our health care? Hopefully! But often, when it comes to health care, we may defer to wherever our insurance sends us, whatever provider central scheduling assigns us, and so on.
Our business practice at Synchrony PT is not insurance driven- it is a fee-for-service model. We want you to shop around, and then select us! As seasoned clinicians, we believe that we can provide valuable, high quality physical therapy services. We are accountable to each of the clients we serve- not to third party payors.
Our practice welcomes all individuals, from any variety of background and various presenting conditions. We look forward to learning more about you- below is just a little bit about us.
