Clinician Testimonials

“Over the past 10 years, STAR Physical Therapy has provided me with the opportunity to grow as both a clinician, with a world-class Continuing Education Program, and as a leader with continued clinic growth. STAR provides a great balance of support and autonomy as clinicians with different levels of experience open new Clinics.

“Personally, my leadership role has expanded into mentoring new clinic directors as they transition from clinician to an ‘owner’ type mentality. STAR empowers me to fulfill my mission of not only serving my patients, but my colleagues as well.”

“STAR Physical Therapy is a phenomenal servant-driven organization with a unique team approach. This is the foundation of STAR from its executive leadership down to each employee. I am proud to be part of a company that not only values its employees, but also seeks to serve the community through various events/activities. I have been privileged to live out my purpose while partnering with these great people who believe each individual brings uniqueness and diversity to the table.”

“Working for STAR has given me the autonomy and financial benefit of owning my own business, but STAR allows me to focus on why I became a physical therapist: patient relationships and great patient care. I have the support of a much larger business to help with marketing, billing and collections, purchasing, insurance contracts and HR issues.

“The Continuing Education Program is second to none and has allowed my staff and me to dramatically improve our clinical skills.”

“Not only as a clinician, but now as a Director, I have been given the opportunity to make a huge and lasting impact upon the community in which I live. I love that STAR is investing in my neighborhood and cares about the needs of the people within the community I call home. The educational and mentoring opportunities are unlike any that I have been given before, and the opportunity for not only professional but personal growth is unmatched in competing markets. In an uncertain economy and the evolving status of healthcare, it is reassuring as a young clinic Director to view my clinic as a place I can one day retire from rather than viewing STAR as just another “stepping stone” to the next opportunity that comes along.”

This company has molded me both personally and professionally with the exceptional continuing education, internal mentoring program, internal support and the personal availability of each and every partner. This company is honestly an extension of my family and I look forward to being a part of their continued success in the future.”

“STAR Physical Therapy has been the best professional decision I have ever made. STAR has allowed me the ability to fulfill a dream of owning my own clinic by taking away the burdens that prohibited me from doing this alone.

“The autonomy associated with this opportunity coupled with the relationships and family-oriented atmosphere make this job the perfect fit for me.”
