I am very impressed with the Smart Body Therapists I have been working with. They are very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The office staff is wonderful as well. So far I have had an excellent experience and would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend Smart Body. I was so terrified for my first experience that my blood pressure was way up there. But the time Kayla took with me talking, explaining and asking questions made me so comfortable and relaxed. The examine wasn't as bad as expected. I now know what I can do with somewhat of a timeframe to have better results for me. Thanks, Smart Body.

I was impressed by what took place on my first day. Stephanie was very nice. I don't come back until June 2, but I do have homework to do. That being said I must get with it again. Until we meet again. Thanks

I found Smart Body because they were *highly* recommended by Mayo Clinic. I was lucky to get on the schedule for nine sessions. Smart Body staff is what you'd want--respectful, excellent bedside manner, considerate. Which is great, but the reason I urge you for go to Smart Body is COMPETENCE. So much knowledge and insight gathered so quickly! Was it fun? Nope. (Like any physical therapy that I've ever had). Do I have a lot of home work ahead of me? Yup. On about day 6 of my experience I was exhausted and ready to cry. But I ultimately came away feeling equipped and ready! My long and frustrating and expensive search for help is over. Maybe Smart Body has a few hiccups in the booking/reception area, like just about any business right now. But there are some very strong individuals working that area picking up the slack, and that will NOT affect your health care. Moving forward Smart Body is going to be in even BIGGER demand! Make your appointment sooner, not later. I traveled 1,400 miles to see them. Well worth it.

Every provider I have seen at this clinic is fantastic! For three years I've seen another physical therapist and had no results. I am finally decreasing my pain and improving my quality of life overall thanks to Smart Body PT! They are very courteous and listen to your needs. I highly recommend everyone goes to pelvic floor therapy at least once in their lives!

Ann George

Yes, it was a very nice & clean facility. I did not feel comfortable with my therapist. I am very glad I asked to receive a copy of my evaluation. There were so many inaccuracies! I was both surprised and disappointed. I will challenge the report with my insurance carrier as this assessment is damaging and presents an inaccurate picture of my health. Personal information was included in a compromising way. All in all a very brusk, experience. Also, medical testing revealed a bacterial cause for much of the problem. I am sure strengthening exercises will be helpful. However, I need to feel respected and heard by my medical provider to want to invest in any therapy. It seems they are the only provider of this care in the city. I don't want to go back, but may have to.

I've been using Smart Body for 10+ years for everything from plantar fasciitis and running related issues to back injuries. They have always been able to provide relief and instruction for how to get my body back on track and functioning as it should. Laura and her team are always helping with a smile and as accommodating as possible.

The front desk staff is pleasant while checking you in. Everything is explained well and handled efficiently. My therapist was warm and took her time gathering information and asking the questions needed and examining me to evaluate my situation and prescribe a care plan for me. I felt like I was in good hands.

I have been going to Smart body off and on for awhile now. I trust them with my care always! Laura the owner is and has been my PT. I have, many years now suffered medical problems. Resulting in whole body reconditioning. I suffer also with alignment issues and pelvic floor disfunction. I came to them weak and my spirits low. The staff has always treated like I mattered and Laura has always been a positive effect on my attitude and mind. She helps me to keep moving forward in being strong and not give up! It’s been a roller coaster has for my health. But I have just recently returned back to Smart body. Now as much as I enjoy the attitudes and atmosphere this is a place to get better and put your work in ! But the support is consistent and genuine! Valerie Driskell A patient

Experience at smart body was ok until I was completely lied to, by both therapists and front desk staff, about what my insurance covers for my visit. Now they're billing me 300 dollars. I will not be returning.

Karen Maguire

Laura is so knowledgeable and compassionate . She totally knows her stuff and helped me to see light at the end of the tunnel. One thing I really love about Laura is her willingness to teach me how to do physical therapy on my own and take charge of my own healing. She's honestly the best therapist who I've ever seen.

I wasn't happy with my first 3 intial visits and when they called me to make my next one I explained that I wasn't satisfied with the services. They called me back the next day and asked me to come back and to try the owner as my theripist instead and that maybe we weren't a good match. I was up to doing that until I suggested that for my time wasted that they only charge my insurace company for the make up visits and not be require me to pay my $40 copay again for the next 3 visits, they wouldn't do it. I made comment to them that if I fixed their car and they weren't happy with the repairs being done would you be willing to pay me again for fixing it right the second time. They said this was different. Yes it was as I was still allowing them to get paid through my insurance and an auto repair would have got nothing. I didn't think I was asking for that much. I couldn't believe what I was hearing as their whole business is based on word of mouth referrals. Do you mean that it is more important to you to get my $40 then it is to get nothing at all, lose a customer and get a bad review. She hung up on me. I later learned at my next doctor's visit who referred me to them, that they called him to try and save face. He said I had no idea what they were even talking about as you never mentioned this to me. I guess they were afraid of losing a referral too. Follow up - They came back after my review telling me it is against the law to not charge a copay. I learned a long time ago to follow through on anything that involves money because people will tell you anything to get out of having to refund your money. So did just that, I contacted the insurance regulatorys office to confirm that fact. They were only telling me the half truth. YES it is against the law to wave copays as a practice to lurer customers in from someone going to another doctor because your cheaper by not charging copays. It is not against the law to wave a copay under special circumstances including poor customer service as you already paid your copay the first time and your compensating the customer for poor service. They admitted it to me it wasnt good service they just didnt want to pay by proving it.

Response from owner

Hi Jim, we’re sorry that you are not happy with your therapy. As we explained to you, it is illegal to charge Health insurance and then not charge the patient a co-pay. We are also not allowed to provide medical services for free. We called your referring provider to inform him of what was going on, so that he was not blindsided if you did speak to him about it. This is a standard practice of ours to stay in communication with our patients and providers for improving care. You were not happy with our services and we wanted to communicate to the physician that this was the case. Most people complain that their providers do not communicate with each other enough, we are doing our best to rewrite the script for patient care, which includes improved communication between providers. We are a bit confused about that being a criticism, as most people would be thrilled about this. Again, we are very sorry you feel like your experience did not meet your standards, we appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve upon our services.

They are awesome here! I felt very well taken care of and listened to. I not only got better but learned how not to re-injure myself as well as how to keep myself strong. I have recommended them to several people!

Haley Aguilar

I would recommend Smartbody. They were very professional and nice. I went after having pelvic surgery and they helped me recover to a better state I was in than before my surgery. Dr Sara Sohn was warm and friendly. She treated me well and helped me to not feel embarrassed about anything. Her and her staff even taught me diet and nutrition in such a way to help with my pelvic floor issues. The front desk handled my billing and insurance to my satisfaction. They were transparent about what wasn't covered by my insurance ahead of time. Thanks Smartbody for helping me feel better than I thought I could!

Response from owner

Thank you so much for your review Haley! We're happy to help and love getting our patients back to living the life they love.

Keri Lewis

Laura and her staff are extremely knowledgeable and have helped me when others couldn't diagnose me. I had stress fractures in both feet and went to many doctors without a diagnosis for two years. After one visit with Laura, she listened to my symptoms, and told me it sounded like I had stress fractures. She was right. It was a long 6-8 months of recovery with a podiatrist and then I went to see Laura for my PT. She has since seen me for a sprained ankle, back pain, and a tailbone injury.

Response from owner

Thank you so very much Keri! We appreciate you as a patient and your wonderful review :) Glad you're feeling better.

I use Smart Body Physical Therapy as the Gold Standard clinic for comparing patient care, caring staff, efficiency, and results. No one else compares! I absolutely recommend that people follow up with Smart Body Physical Therapy concerning their chronic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction (women and men!). If you prefer one-on-one care and manual therapy, Smart Body is a great partner to assist you in your orthopedic recovery, injury prevention, and fitness goals.
