Ability Rehabilitation
“After hand surgery my doctor informed me I would need to go to Occupational Therapy. It was something I dreaded, I don't have the time nor I am looking forward to the pain. After visiting with Shillane Richards, my preconceived notions were soon dissipated. She was professional and personable. Actually, she was more than phenomenal -she is THE BOMB.. My twice weekly appointments became something I was actually looking forward despite the pain. Our interactions were amazing, she helped me to continue added therapy at home. I soon found myself needing additional Physical Therapy for peripheral neuropathy, which introduced me to the rest of the staff. My experience with the Winter Park location has been nothing short of amazing. This staff became so much more than therapists; they became partners in my Healthcare and they became friends. The environment Elizabeth and her team have created is mind blowing. Patients all know each other by name, we seriously care about each other. One patient said is car was in the shop and he was taking an Uber home. His home was one my way, so I dropped him off. That is the environment Winter Park has fostered. We have celebrated medical milestones as well as personal milestones- birthdays and weddings. A fellow patient hated the mother-of-the groom dress the bride picked, I told her she needed to bling it up. I offered her the jewelry I wore to my daughter's wedding, and she looked stunning. Patients and staff have a bond in a way I can absolutely say I have never seen before. It feels like a family. Yes, we are there to receive needed medical therapy but what we have received is so much more - a personal connection; one I believe makes the Winter Park team is the greatest asset Ability Rehabilitation will ever have.”
