Patient Testimonials

"I finished my four week program of physical therapy and occupational therapy at Saint Agnes rehabilitation. My two therapists, Sharon and Melinda, were outstanding. They both were caring, incredibly knowledgeable and put all of their effort into helping me. They gave me lots of tips for my continued journey through Parkinson's disease. I believe that going through this program will give me the tools to keep Parkinson's moving at a slow pace. I was very fortunate to have Sharon and Melinda working with me over the last month." - Robert
