[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost all PT offices have a 4 week wait for appts so best to just get scheduled somewhere. Everyone can do shoulders--that's probably 30% of our patient load at an outpatient office.[/quote]

What? That has not been my experience at all. I have gotten into see PTs within the week when I've needed one. Sometimes I have to see one of the less experienced PTs but they are overseen by the more senior staff and can at least get me started and then I can see on of the more senior PTs after a couple weeks of body work and the initial exercise routine.[/quote]

I'm just telling you what is going on in the majority of our business's 15 offices as well as another NoVa chain of PT offices. You might be able to get a one off appt in the next week but you might not get followup appts for several weeks. The volumes of patients lately have been insane.[/quote]

I saw PTs through the Centers for Advance Orthopaedics in February-April of this year and had no problem getting my initial appointment with a PT nor in scheduling follow ups twice a week until I was done with my therapy.

They were definitely busy but I always got the attention I needed including some extra massage and dry needling that was not originally planned but we discovered was helping my progress a lot. Also it seems like every PT in the office took a vacation at some point during the time I was there, as well as many of the assistants, so it's not like they were crazy overbooked -- when my main PT was on vacation I was able to get an appointment with one of the others no problem.[/quote]
