Dr. Lisa Kurien is fantastic. Her knowledge of the musculoskeletal system is top notch bar none! Would highly recommend her for any of your needs. Due to osteoarthritis in my knee, I am working with her and the staff to get the flexibility back in it. I am walking better with less pain. Thank you!
Dr. Lisa is the best. She took care of my mother in her later years and took care of me as well after I experienced a bad ankle injury. Now she is helping my daughter who has jaw and neck pain.
Dr. Lisa is outstanding! She’s professional, very knowledgeable, and highly skilled. I love the fact she takes the time to explain each exercise and the benefits of every exercise. She is an asset and credit to your organization.
Dr. Lisa is pleasant, patient, easily relatable and very professional. I have seen her paying close attention to every patient.
This will be my second time rehabbing a massive shoulder surgery in 2 yrs. I went back because of Lisa the physical therapist. She's just a beautiful spirited person first, with a no nonsense fun and respectful way of rehabbing. In all this pain before and after a session you just can't wait to get back for more. My surgeon also respects her work.
I'd like to thank Dr. Lisa Kurien for helping me to regain much mobility after injury. Lisa is very compassionate and attentive to not only myself but every patient. I appreciate her guidance on the path to recovery and would recommend anyone to visit if you have physical injury.
After having rotator cuff surgery, Dr. Lisa, who is very personable, professional, and knowledgeable, worked with me to regain strength and mobility that I never would have been able to do on my own at home. Thank you Lisa, you are the best!
