Reviews of Athletico Physical Therapy - Howell (Physiotherapist)

Andy Friar

Paul and staff were knowledgeable and friendly. It's clean and the equipment is in good shape. The corporate structure is the reason for the 1 star rating. I went 18 times for exercises following a shoulder scope. Not a big deal. I was charged an avg of $355/hr on those visits. That is exorbitantly expensive to roll a yoga ball up the wall, pull on a rubber band or lift a 6lb dumbbell. Their bills are purposefully vague. BCBS did not know why there was so much difference from one visit to the next either. They don't see any details or description on the codes either. The customer service rep at Athletico Corp HQ, where you have to call about bills rather the Howell office, was not able to release itemized details of the visits, their boss was the only one who could. Never over my 7 different surgeries in the last 20 years, or many dr's appt's, or 8 different physical therapists that I have seen, have the bills not been itemized. Mind blowing to me. Took 2+ weeks of calling to get the 'boss' Melissa Wagner to contact me, and that was not on the phone, but over email. Back and forth with her for a few weeks and then I got the itemized details. Those itemized bills still did not disclose, nor would Melissa, why some exercises were listed at Qty 1 one visit, and Qty 2 another. The itemized details did not disclose length of visit total or time spent on each exercise. I had to then jump through hoops with Athletico to get the 78 pages of my Physical Therapist's visit notes and go through them to figure out the 15 min block charging scheme. I was told they don't charge by the minute, but they do, 15 min blocks per exercise. So 18 minutes on an exercise, and you get charged QTY 2. $150.00 for Yoga ball and rubber band exercises, rather than the $75 for 15 mins of that same stuff. I would avoid this place at all costs, mainly the costs to you!

Great experience with this group of special people!! Paul was "my person". He worked me hard, made me smile, and helped my shoulder function again after surgery. If you need physical therapy, don't hesitate to use Howell Athletico......you'll be as grateful as I am. :)

I was a patient at Athletico Physical Therapy of Howell twice as I injured my wrist and then my ribs. Everyone there was warm, friendly, and inviting. The clinicians knew what they were talking about and knew when to progress my exercises. When I was discharged, I felt as though the clinicians gave me great information to continue my healing process and prevent future injuries.

I am so pleased to have selected Athletico in Howell to help me rehab after my full knee replacement. I attribute my very successful rehab to the staff at Athletico, Paul and Mike were very tuned in to my needs and did a great job of keeping me mentally and physically focused on my recovery. Their approach helped with the physical aspects of recovering strength and flexibility as well as providing an understanding and path toward pain management. I highly recommend Athletico in Howell. They even provided consultations for family members considering physical therapy as an option to managing joint and muscle pain.

Had shoulder surgery for rotatory cuff. Dr said it would take 12 weeks to get back. With the help from Paul and the staff was back on the ice in 8 1/2 weeks and haven't had an issue! Thanks Team Athletico! Do your rehab!!

After my sports injury, I was thankful to have my physical therapy care with Athletico Physical Therapy at their Howell location. From the moment I first visited, everyone made the experience very easy and accommodating. I was able to have appointments that met my needs and care that went above and beyond. Everyone was very friendly, kind and caring. Their professionalism and experience did not go unnoticed. Everyone there helped with my success. I would highly recommend Athletico Physical Therapy and their experts at their Howell location.

I highly recommend Athletico of Howell for physical therapy/rehabilitation. Unfortunately the staff/PT’s know me all too well as I have been a repeat patient after having undergone 3 rotator cuff surgeries (after 3 complete rotator cuff tears). The facility is clean, equipment is new and up to date. What I liked most about my (2 years) experience there was the knowledge of the PT’s. After my most recent surgery, Paul worked with me 2-3 times a week and each week I excelled and found myself getting stronger and obtaining better range of motion. I never felt rushed, Paul always took the time to explain the exercises and their benefits and I was always given time to voice any questions or concerns. The facility has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere and I have recommended them to family and friends.

I was fortunate to have an opportunity to complete an eight-week clinical rotation with Paul, and I had a wonderful experience. The compassionate staff at Athletico create a positive and welcoming environment. I highly recommend Athletico Physical Therapy in Howell for those seeking physical therapy in the Livingston County area!

I was a student physical therapist completing a 12-week rotation at Howell. The staff at Athletico are very welcoming. Paul was my clinical instructor and is a physical therapist for the clinic. He works great with his patients and helps his patients reach their goals. The clinic is very clean and has vast equipment for rehabilitation needs. I recommend this clinical site for patients in the area!

The therapists and staff at Athletico are very caring and friendly, and always available to answer questions and schedule appointments. Paul provided high quality compassionate care and also made rehab fun along the way. I would definitely recommend for any physical therapy needs.

Previous patient who came in after shoulder surgery on my labrum. All the members of the team were very caring, knowledgeable, and personable. They helped me understand my insurance benefits, explained the importance of each exercise, gave me tips and tricks to ease my recovery process at home, and were always great listening ears. The PT's and PTA's had proven expertise in the field and gave me confidence in the process of PT. They took into consideration my limitations during each session but were able to push me every visit. I am now back to lifting weights and running! I have since recommended their services to my friends and family.
