Cora Physical Therapy North Tampa's Online Review Report Card

The location is convenient but the staff is Top of the line!

I chose CORA because it was the closest physical therapy practice to my house, and I’m really happy I did. As a mature athlete, I’ve been through physical therapy for various injuries throughout the years, and CORA is the best I have found. Here is what sets CORA apart from the rest: 1) Personal attention: my first visit was a thorough assessment with measurements and a survey on what movements were causing me pain. This is probably standard, but the difference here is the level of care and personal attention that the physical therapists put into the assessment. Habi, the doctor completing my intake assessment, was thorough, observant, and patient in answering the myriad questions I had about my condition and really helped me feel positive about starting my recovery program even though I had been living with the pain for almost two years. At the end of the assessment, I was given a plan printed out with stretches I needed to do at home, and some band exercises were demonstrated to me that I’d do in the office. And I took away a little bit of hope that maybe I could get through this and get back to doing the activities I loved and was close to giving up on. 2) Expertise: CORA are experts who really know what they’re doing. At every single visit, I learned something new about my condition, and about proper form, pacing, and paying attention to how the exercises felt so that I didn’t exacerbate the injury. I learned to speak up when it hurt or something didn't feel right, and I can’t say enough about how amazing Kelly, Jeremy, and Habi are at modifying the exercises so that I’m within the proper range of motion or correct form. They also do an excellent job of prescribing the appropriate moves for my condition – which should go without saying, but I’ve had other physical therapy practices waste my time and money by prescribing exercises and treatments that did not work. The DPT here, Habi, is more than a doctor – he is an educator and obviously really enjoys sharing his knowledge with his patients. The physical therapists at CORA are clearly kept current with the most recent research-based treatments. This meant my condition was treated properly and I healed faster, which makes me an extremely satisfied client. 3) Monitoring: throughout the course of treatment I was monitored, measured, and re-assessed periodically to ensure that my course of treatment was working. At other PT practices I’ve been prescribed exercises and then kind of left alone with minimal check-in or monitoring. I really think CORA’s adherence to monitoring my progress, then tweaking my program to ensure it was more effective, contributed to my recovering as quickly as I did. 4) Environment: CORA is a really supportive and positive environment where clients are welcomed warmly from the very first phone call by Nicole and Mike and then supported and encouraged throughout the recovery process by the DPT and PTs. Many of the other clients are friendly and encouraging and we ended up chatting and cheering each other on at times. I know I found a great place because on "graduation day", when I was released from in-clinic treatment, I was really happy to be feeling better, but sad to leave. I think when you’re injured, no matter how that injury happened, you come in feeling a bit vulnerable. But at CORA you’re in good hands and you will be treated with care, support and encouragement. I also overheard other patients expressing how much they love the therapists and staff at this location. I am so deeply grateful that now I have some experts close by whom I can call if I hurt myself again. Thank you, CORA!

Wonderful staff and therapists. Fixed my vertigo on one session. Lifesavers!

Hurrah, finished with therapy and feeling great. Two total knee replacements and additional emergency surgery for ruptured quad after an accident. My therapist, Kelly was awesome with my treatment. I don’t know how she put up with me some days, the ruptured quad hurt a lot at first but she got me through over a year, approximately 192 visits and l have no complaints. She got me to do the exercises I did not want to do and now my legs work as they should and if I need treatment for anything else in the future, I’ll be back. And Nicole did a fantastic job of scheduling my appointments, appropriately 192. A huge Thanks to both of you and two other team members.

Great care and scheduling, helped me get back to playing my sport with no issues sooner than I expected! Therapists are friendly and very understanding of where you want to be and how they can get you there.

I was seen for ACL repair surgery and CORA gave me the help i needed to get back to my sport; and i feel more confident running and doing daily activities. Thank you kristen ❤️.

I’m being seen for a SLAP repair and AC decompression and am very satisfied with my progress. The whole staff is great; they’re easy going, easy to communicate with, and great at explaining what we’re doing and why.

Great group of people who push you hard and do things the right way.

the exercises are good I think. I did not study to be a physical therapist. the bad thing is that they join you with other clients when they are supposed to find social distance due to the pandemic.

I should have posted this months ago when I finished my therapy, but better late than never. The staff at CORA (from the front desk to the therapist) are all friendly and professional. A credit to their company and to their profession. They helped me recover from my BKA. I would often tell my family it was like your own personal cheerleaders. They challenged you to do more and I learned, at times I felt forced to learn how to maneuver with my prosthetic. They ALL are an asset and when you are adjusting to changes in your life, it is important to have professional and friendly helpful people in your world
