"I was in an auto accident in 2003 which resulted in multiple injuries. During the 6 months of therapy at Symmetry Physical Therapy, they made a personal commitment to help me through my very difficult recovery. It’s rare to find health care professionals that truly care about their patient’s health and well being."
