Panacea Physical Therapy and Personal training is a cash based company that provides one-on-one professional, skilled, therapy and training, tailored specifically to your wants and needs, and which is performed at your home.
As a Dr of Physical Therapy and an Athletic Trainer, I have worked in traditional, insurance based private as well as physician owned physical therapy clinics.
In a traditional out patient clinic a given therapist will see anywhere from 15 to 30 patients in one, eight hour day. This high volume of patients is practically impossible for one therapist to see, and as a result, much of what should be high quality, skilled care from a licensed practitioner, is delegated to unskilled, inexperienced and uneducated aids. The real kicker is that in order for most outpatient clinics to survive financially, they must see high volumes of patients, based mainly on what an insurance company arbitrarily chooses to reimburse for a given treatment.
In the end, this type of clinic ends up providing services determined by the insurance company, instead of the practitioner, and the quality of care is compromised.
Furthermore, decreased quality of care prolongs the number of sessions needed for a person to recover, and untrained care givers may not be able to properly direct a patient to the appropriate healthcare providers when necessary, or in a timely fashion.
It is frustrating working in an environment when you are being told what to do, how to do it, and how much and often you should do this by someone who is only concerned with getting as many patients through the door as possible, not the quality of care given.
I have grown tired of working under these conditions, and as such I have launched my own, cash based physical therapy and personal training company, under which I can provide the appropriate, necessary, and most beneficial treatment to a patient, without concerns of reimbursement from a third party. Additionally, this places you, (the patient) in a position where you know exactly what you will pay for each session, no surprises. On a side note, just because you pay for an "out of network" service, this does not mean you cannot have your insurance reimburse you. (More about this under the "Prices" tab).
