Darrin is just awesome at his job. He is soft-spoken and still able to push you to accomplish what you came in for. He is flexible with his schedule and is a good guy to work with.

He’s very respectful cares about how his patient feels and cares about the work that he’s doing with his patient

He takes time to come to with patients and his face is rarely in the computer. He also works very hard to help you achieve your goals.

I came to see Dan for a functional capacity exam required for my FAA medical clearance and I’ll admit, I was nervous about how it would go because I’ve never done one before and I’m 100% disabled through the VA. I’ve been training and doing mobility work for years but I was still nervous I wouldn’t pass and Darin made the whole experience honestly kind of fun. He has a great demeanor and a way of dealing with people that put them at ease.

Zachary K • January 22, 2026

Fantastic experience. Darin listens and is a great at encouraging you through the entire process.

I can't imagine having a better therapist. He has been instrumental in my rapid recovery from shoulder replacement surgery.

Keith S • December 17, 2025

Daring is an outstanding provider who explains in a way I can understand. He comes highly recommended and was the perfect choice for me.

Keith S • December 08, 2025

Darin has several years experience in physical therapy. He is patient in explaining what is happening with the muscles/joints during therapy and appreciates patient feedback on what they feel. My surgeon selected Darin for my recovery based upon his previous experience/success with Darin’s care of his patients. Anyone lucky enough to get Darin as their therapist is blessed with one of the very best.

Darin was very helpful in treating my "pickleball elbow". He was knowledgeable, informative and just a generally good guy to chat with. His treatments in the office and treatment plan for me at home helped me get back to the many activities I enjoy doing. Thanks Darin!
