Dr. Basma is the best PT. Over 15 years I’ve had 5 different PTs, because I seem to need some help every 3 years… and of all my PTs she is the best I’ve seen. I’m in my early 30s and have been an athlete since age 4. If you’re an active person / retired athlete, you will love her. I’m a dancer, runner, and cross train with Barre, Weights, Boxing, and Rowing. I overdid with running this time and couldn’t extend my right knee fully. Within one appointment I had 5° of extension back, after 2 weeks I was pain free in the knee, and after 5 weeks I’m almost back to normal. I came in very early but I promise you will get back to your normal working with Dr. Basma.

PT Basma is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I came to the office with some sports-related back issues, and she has been very adept at treating the issues with compassion and expertise. I have been to many physical therapists before, but Basma is definitely in the top percentile. Her humor and kind bedside manner is infectious and makes painful PT exercises and treatments a lot more bearable!
