Key Review Excerpts
“Gary Gibson and Steve Branam were an excellent therapists and it is because of them that I am able to walk now with no assistance.”
“The nursing care is so bad, it’s down right dangerous. The nurses were not doing their basic nursing assessments of listening to lung sounds. They discharged my grandma home with fluid in her lungs and audible crackling.”
“The PT and OT folks were wonderful, but the rest of her experience there was horrible, even the food. Don’t go there!!”
