You at the center
At Alliance Physical Therapy, we focus on you. We’ll start by listening, then we’ll educate you on your treatment options and involve you in deciding which combination is best.
We’re in this together
As our patient you are hiring us to guide and partner with you and we believe you deserve respect, compassion and care as we undertake that journey together. The biggest compliment our patients can pay us is when they trust us enough to wholeheartedly recommend us to their family and friends.
