My family and I have all had occasion to use OIPT, operated by Andrew Stephens and his highly competent staff. I have seen him for rehab after two knee replacements and a shoulder surgery. The results have been nothing short of a miracle. His knowledgeable care has made it possible for me to recover 100 percent. My doctors, from three surgeries, have praised his professional work. I would, and have, recommended Andrew and his team many times.
