I have had the fortune of working with Girard Physical Therapy and Hand Center for the last few months as an Occupational Therapy patient and working specifically with Kristen Manecke OTR/L, CHT. As a former CEO of the nation’s leading healthcare marketing company I have a keen eye for Front office personnel, provider skills and provider/ patient relations. As a patient, I am truly impressed with all the facets of the physical therapy/OT practice. Starting with Heidi at the Front office her attention to detail, follow-up, patient support and interpersonal skills are some of the best I have seen in my career. Regarding Kristen and her abilities I feel that anyone would be “hard-pressed” to find a professional with more effective skills and better provider patient relations. Thank you all for what you have done for me in terms of patient care and therapeutic results.

I have had Kristen as my hand therapist for six months.  The therapy has been the best I’ve received out of the three years of hand therapy at other hand therapy clinic.  My hands are better! I am able to function better with my hands with less pain and had overall exceptional care.  Kristen is very personable and an excellent therapist.  I recommend her hands down to anyone needing help with occupational therapy.

Kristen helped me so much after I fell on my elbow. I got full mobility after a few months of therapy.  Our time together was not only productive and effective, but, fun!  She was calm and focused in a way that encouraged me to work hard to get back to where I was before my accident.  Thank you Kristen!
