Brett is an easy young guy that gets to you to want to try every way possible to get better. It's obvious he takes good notes on every session and reviews those notes just before the session starts.

We started treatments about 3 weeks ago, my father is 89 and had a severe right shoulder fracture. Brett is an excellent professional physical therapist. Sessions are always on time, improvements in range of motion started already, my dad said that the pain is slowly diminishing and my dad trusts Brett completely.

My experience with Brett was fantastic as he gave me great hope that I can heal myself through this therapy so I’m doing my therapy every day and so far the pain is society every day lesson and less so I’m grateful to have met Brett. He has excellent bedside manner and couldn’t ask for a better therapist so thank you, Brett

Brett Pugh, PT, DPT is a detailed and experienced physical therapist who got me back to functional health after two concurrent surgeries - a massive rotator cuff tear as well as a torn quadriceps tendon - Brett was instrumental in my regaining complete function and range of motion for both ailments! If you’re broken, let Brett fix you!

Brett’s worked with me both on foot pain and a sprain in my elbow, he is very thorough and spent time making sure I knew how to do each of the exercises correctly

Brett Pugh, PT, DPT
Great therapist - worked with me 1:1 on some lower leg soreness. Gave me some great exercises that helped me get back in the gym, would recommend
Brett Pugh, PT, DPT
Really bad care and bad follow up and a bad experience . Plus his exercises hurt me more even when I said I was told not to do those kinds. I was in training for the Olympics when I was young and been an athlete all my life and never had I had this bad an experience...Will never go back here ...even the Doctor that recommended him never followed up after I called and complained... Really disappointing ...
