When I came to Encore, I was familiar with one of the Physical Therapists here, and after the first visit I felt comfortable with the entire Rehab Team. I also enjoyed working with the Student Physical Therapists in the clinic. Encore because it is such a warm, welcoming setting. The Rehab Team is well trained and motivating, and it is a very well-organized facility.
