Another happy patient and that makes us very happy. It may not always be possible to avoid surgery, but Gordon gave physical therapy a shot first and had great success!

Hi Dr. Wade,

This is just a brief note of thanks and of appreciation for what your team was able to do for me. You guys have a magic touch!

For a reminder of the state I was in when we first met, watch Toula’s Yia Yia in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. I “walked” just like that, frozen in a stoop – only I was in excruciating pain. I could barely make it across the room. I could not lie on my back or on my front and I could not sleep; I needed ice on my back all night. Two doctors had examined my MRI, and although they had quite different diagnoses, both were 100% sure they could fix my problem with surgery followed by PT. The first insisted on giving me a steroid epidural and it did nothing for me. The second wanted to try another; I never went back.

Instead I came to you for PT. And am I ever glad I did? You saw my sorry state and took me on as a special challenge.

It is now four months later. I have been erect for two months and pain free for one. I consider my recovery remarkable and owe it all to you and your team; the remarkable men and women at 1st Choice PT. They know their stuff and they are highly professional. But more than that, they genuinely care about their patients and sincerely want to help. They all made to feel welcome and they all played a part in my recuperation. It took time and hard work, but, I am happy to say, no knives.

Now that I can look everyone in the eye (literally), I want again to say “thank you all”.

Gordon Young

For all of the caring & patient people at First Choice. Thank you so very much for all of the time & extra care that you have given & give to me each time I come to therapy. It makes my visit a lot less stressful. I can’t say “painless” as you know my therapy is full of PAIN! I appreciate each & every person comes in contact with me. I’m looking forward to being pain free. “Hmmmm”

The Lord led me to you & your facility for my recovery. I have no doubt about that. May the Lord bless you all. Thank you!

We have a superior team made up of great individuals. We love to hear from our fans and today we got a letter from G. Scott from Georgia. Our Beach Clinic Director, Scott Champagne has another fan. Thanks for the very kind words Miss Scott.

Dear Dr. Rinehart,
Accolades to First Choice Physical Therapy services in Panama City Beach, FL.

I am from Georgia and was spending the week with family who lives in the same neighborhood as Physical Therapist, Scott Champagne. Scott saw me with my walker trudging the sidewalks and came out to speak. My daughter had shared my difficulty with balance and walking after having two back surgeries in three months. He said he felt he could help me while I was visiting if I was willing to give it a try. I was definitely willing. I have participated in a significant amount of physical therapy through the years and with several facilities. I was overwhelmed by his offer.

I am confident that a great deal of the healing took place in my body through his focus on core strengthening in just the one week. I will definitely use First Choice when I visit the area again. I am a champion of the quality of your facility and staff.

Thank you. I look forward to my next visit to your facility.
Sincerely,
G. Scott.

How would you like to get something everyday that you really enjoyed reading? As a great example of “old school” advertising, Joey Ginn of Centennial Bank (850-636-4963), has arranged for us to receive a fax every day. The one page is called “Business Digest”. It has “Please deliver to: Wade Rinehart” on the top and right next to that it says who is responsible for your receiving the fax. This is way better than the trash that comes in for buying printer ink or letting us know that somebody has preapproved us for a business loan! The other day it contained 3 simple math trivia questions about money. We like this kind of stuff so we thought we would share it. I said simple, I didn’t say they were not tricky! Go slow, think before you blurt and be careful. ?

As I was preparing for our long Thanksgiving weekend, it occurred to me that I am truly thankful for my job at First Choice Physical Therapy. As the Billing Specialist I now work upstairs and don’t get to see the patients coming and going like I did when I worked in the front office. I can however hear the excitement in the gym when a patient hits a milestone in their rehabilitation and it puts a smile on my face every time.

If there is anything I can help you, our patients, with concerning your account please give me a call. I will be very glad to assist you anyway I can.

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

Nan Fountain, Billing Specialist
