				If you’re looking for a physical therapist, you can’t do any better than the Buffalo Rehab Group.  While I initially chose it because of the location, I soon learned it was much more than that.  Everyone there is personable, knowledgeable, accommodating and ever willing to go that extra mile for you.  During this difficult time due to the pandemic, not only are they meticulous about keeping you safe, they even offer on-line sessions.  I’ve gone to a few physical therapists in the past, but the Buffalo Rehab Group is  by far the best one.

				I have attended Buffalo Rehab group over many years at their Tonawanda location.  Outstanding PTs and PTAs.  Very professional yet engaging and friendly.  Highly educated and knowledgeable in many specialty areas. Very open to feedback and provide feedback and explanations, as well.

I would highly recommend Buffalo Rehab Group.  PS- they have 11 locations for our convenience.

				The entire team at Buffalo Rehab Group - Boulevard location is fantastic! From the moment you are greeted by the receptionist through the quality time spent with physical therapists and assistants working tirelessly to address your personal needs, you realize that you are part of a “family” that cares beyond what might be expected. Of special note is PT Kearsten Fish, whose dedication to her craft, using her deep technical injury-recovery knowledge and professional training, is only surpassed by her extreme caring and kindness, continual patient progress monitoring, gentle encouragement, and friendly support. I cannot recommend Kearsten and the entire BRG-Boulevard staff more highly!

				I brought my 10 year old son to BRG with a neck issue he was having, not really knowing what to expect. We were paired up with Physical therapist Brandon Tytka. He was great he worked with my son over the course of six weeks until his neck was better and surpassed our expectations. At the beginning my son was scared going and did not know what to expect never having physical therapy before. Brandon was funny and personable and my son loved going to therapy to work with him. Working with buffalo rehab group was over all a great experience and I would definitely choose to return here if needed in the future.

				I am 73 years old and my experience with the Buffalo Rehab Group has been extremely positive. The reason why I went to them for treatment was that my right hip was causing such pain that it was waking me up three or four times a night. After eight weeks of treatment my pain has been virtually eliminated. The therapist assigned to me is very knowledgeable and caring. The organization is absolutely a five star in my book and I highly recommend them.

				I TOTALLY recommend and have LOVED my PT experiences at the Tonawanda BRG facility.  The business is  managed extremely efficiently and everyone, from check in staff to therapists is friendly, interested in the clients' needs and conduct themselves in a fully professional manner.  Each client is given full, personal attention and made to feel that his/her needs are the priority.  The atmosphere is happy there but at the same time, very business-like;  the aim of the therapists at BRG is to help, improve, correct the client's problem.
