This was my first ever visit to a physical therapist, recommended by a podiatrist (VanBeek) who endorsed his work.  I found him (Kevin) to be sincere as well as knowledgeable. My situation seemed to be of genuine interest to him.  He did his best to make sure that I understood the potential cost (we talked insurance for a bit) of the custom orthotics before fitting me for them.  He was aware of the time, seemingly from the standpoint of getting in all that he could do for me in the time allotted. Seemed  candid about how he was analyzing my situation.   Also seemed interested in  giving me guidance that did not necessarily require me to spend money on rehab props. I learned a lot. Like with a good teacher, his instruction and attention made me want to do my best with the homework he prescribed.
