I was lucky that my surgeon prescribed PT after I could walk and drive again: As an outpatient, I learned about the significant "fine tuning" that my toes, heel, ankle and gait needed -- and that they got at Lawrence Rehabilitation Hospital! Alexa Altland, my PT therapist, was unfailingly knowledgeable, with numerous exercises for me to improve movement and strength among the parts of my R foot, which till then had limited mobility and interactions, thereby affecting my walk, resiliance and comfort. Alexa explained and demonstrated, also correcting my efforts as necessary -- in a pleasant low-key manner. I quickly understood that I was getting expert help, which prompted me to care more and work harder. Happily, Alexa was surrounded by other staff members who aided her and patients in myriad ways. Besides the aides on the floor, the outpatient administrators kept things running efficiently by greeting, scheduling, reminding and encouraging, which all created a positive, friendly atmosphere. Based on both my experience and my results, I would unhesitantly recommend Lawrence Rehab's Outpatient PT program. --Patricia Summers August 29, 2026

DON'T SEND YOUR LOVED ONE TO THIS REHAB CENTER! My 90 year old Mom was admitted on January 1, 2026 after a broken femur surgery. When she left, on February 8, a pressure wound had formed that ended up tunneling which then required surgery, 3 months of IV antibiotics and now oral antibiotics for another 4 months. While at the rehab center, she was not turned in bed, not attended to at times when she needed to go to the restroom and the kitchen did not follow her recommended diet most days. My Mom was vibrant and active before her fall, and now, after enduring months of complications from the pressure wound, she is fighting her way back to the life she had some short time ago.
I feel Lisa L. was very thorough and really understood my symptoms. She thoughtfully tried a couple maneuvers to treat BPPV for me and gave me clear instructions for home positioning. she also explained what BPPV is and the anatomy and physiology involved, in a way easily understood by me. Overall I had a very positive experience and I feel very comfortable returning if needed. I will most definitely recommend Lisa Luskin to anyone who may need treatment to vertigo! Thanks so much Lisa!
I came to LRH after 4 weeks of intensive care in a local hospital. Although the entire staff at LRH was so caring in getting me back on my feet, after losing almost 25 pounds, and my strength and balance with it, I will always remember Eglantine and Paula who showed me compassion and respect when providing me with excellent personal care. They seemed to understand how I felt in my diminished physical condition and went the extra "mile" to provide positive words to bouy my spirit, all while taking excellent care of me. They are true angels. I also received excellent physical therapy, with all of the therapists encouraging me and challenging me to surpass their goals. A professional PT team, throughout. Additionally, I would be remiss if I didn't thank Banu, for her outstanding care in Outpatient PT. I would recommend her to anyone. She helped me rehab a torn meniscus that was truly amazing to all who saw me hobbling on a cane, prior to Banu's applied skill and knowledge. She is truly an excellent person, let alone an outstanding physical therapist. Thank you to all at Lawrence Rehab Hospital who helped me get back to living. (And Liz too, managing my numerous Outpatient PT appointments. Liz, your words of encouragement are still resounding, meaning so much, all these months later.) So, for those who might read this review, LRH is comprised of many individuals, who while performing their job, work as a team to rehab their patients entire mind, body and yes - soul. Forever appreciative, Steve Roman
My sister was admitted into Lawrence Rehab Hospital on March 11th,. The first person to greet us was Debbie Coleman.the receptionist. I was feeling apprehensive about the facility and the fact that my sister had been admitted into the Rehab Hospital. Debbie welcomed us with a big smile and hello and just put my mind at ease. She's been greeting us that way everyday now for the past 2 weeks. She goes over and above her duties to make people feel comfortable in this type of environment. In my opinion, the facility is lucky to have her there greeting people with her warmth and positive attitude. It makes a hard visit sometimes just a little bit easier. I feel like she's a friend now. I deal with a lot of staff there now and wish everyone would smile more. I had to write this so Debbie would know her caring and wonderful attitude has been appreciated and had made a difference. Thank you, Debbie
