I’ve been seen here for my lower back and my shoulder and both have significantly improved. The staff is very friendly and highly knowledgeable and provide a great atmosphere for getting well.

Thanks Niccolo! We are very glad you are happy with your outcome and experience at First Choice. Let us know if you can help you or your family in the future.

Very friendly and professional staff. The whole team works extremely well together to motivate patients and keep them concentrated on their individualized plan of recovery. I feel very fortunate to have found First Choice Physical Therapy on the beach after my shoulder surgery. I would most definitely recommend this extremely knowledgeable team to anyone requiring physical therapy.

Thank you for your review. Your description of First Choice’s patient treatment model is exactly what we strive to achieve, a team effort to keep every patient encouraged to reach their maximum recovery following their individual plan of care.

I have been to other therapy establishments in the past, this is by far my favorite one!

Thank for letting us be your Favorite! We are here if you need us again.

Doctor Chester and his staff were exceptional.

Thanks Mike! We appreciate you choosing First Choice. We will be here if you should need us again. Happy New Year.

Listen to Terry’s powerful and touching story. Terry was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2008. He has seen many doctors. They were not able to help him stave off the symptoms of the illness. Even with the latest medications he was continuing to notice a decline in his overall function and cognitive abilities. Terry has now had 78 treatments at Hyperbaric Centers of Excellence. Both he and his doctor are now believers in Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment.

Having had other orthopedic surgeries before, Amanda can speak from experience on the difference that Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HBOT) has made in the healing and recovery of her right shoulder. While Physical Therapy has always been a part of her post-surgical recovery plan, this was her toughest surgery of the 4. With HBOT, the recovery is going much faster than predicted. HBOT truly makes a difference in your body’s ability to heal. As Amanda knows, if you are faced with any type of surgery, please consider the benefits HBOT could have for you and how fast you can heal. We are very happy for you Amanda!

Karen had surgery on her leg and before the stitches came out she developed an infection. Many months of conventional wound care and medications could not heal the wound. The medications also made her ill and she lost 15 pounds during this time. She was referred to Hyperbaric Centers of Excellence and completed 40 treatments. Her health returned, she is able to eat well again and the wound is completely healed. She still comes by the clinic often to say hello to the friends she has made on her way to recovery. Thanks for the many dozens of cookies Karen!

While Dan doesn’t literally sing for us, he does tell us his story of how Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HBOT) made a significant change and improvement in his life. He had noticed he was having some balance issues, his cognitive skills were a little off, and he just generally wasn’t thinking as clearly. Listen to him share where he was and where he is after 30 dives. Thanks for sharing Dan!

After a seizure left Brian with two shattered shoulders, he had surgery and then came to First Choice Physical Therapy on Panama City Beach for rehab therapy and found so much more. He elected to go with Regenerative Injection Therapy and Hyperbaric sessions at Hyperbaric Centers of Excellence to go along with his Physical Therapy. His outcomes stunned every medical professional involved with his case. Check out his story! Congratulations Brian.

Kennan Kish is a right-handed pitcher with the Cincinnati Reds minor league organization. He had a Tommy Johns revision surgery on his elbow and came to First Choice Physical Therapy at our Panama City Beach clinic for his rehab with Dr. Brannon Chester. He was very happy with his results and properly prepared to go back for spring training with no reservations. Good luck Kennan!

An all around athlete, Ashley has played sports all 4 years at Arnold High School on Panama City Beach. She recognized early on that she was having pain in both knees that needed to be addressed if she would be able to keep playing at a competitive level. Knowing how important therapy was for her over the years, Ashley has decided to pursue a career in physical therapy. To listen to her story and how she tells it speaks volumes of how far this young lady will go in the profession of Physical Therapy. Way to go Ashley!
