They really care. After going to a physical therapist whose exercises caused a 2 day migraine so severe I vomited at work. . and all over my car a coworker recommended I try out Mercy riverside. I was apprehensive and in pain. They did a full evaluation and sent me home feeling better! Every week I continue to improve. I may just get my life back and have less headaches! Definitely recommend.

I have had the pleasure of working with Erica, Alissa and Deb. I came to them in October of 2018 with what I thought was a severe injury. I was uncertain on how well I would do because I did not want them touching my arm or hand. I can honestly say that with out them I would not be where I am today. I am so very grateful to all three of them. They not only helped me to get where I am today physically, they were even there for me mentally as well. All three were my sounding board for my concerns not only with my PT/OT needs but when I needed to just talk/cry they listened. They were and still are my cheerleaders every week for the last 6 months. I am so glad that I work with them. Alissa, Erica and Deb I am so very grateful and thankful for all that you have done for me. May God continue to bless you always.
