CORA Physical Therapy North Tampa

I chose CORA because it was the closest physical therapy practice to my house, and I’m really happy I did. As a mature athlete, I’ve been through physical therapy for various injuries throughout the years, and CORA is the best I have found. Here is what sets CORA apart from the rest: 1) Personal attention: my first visit was a thorough assessment with measurements and a survey on what movements were causing me pain. This is probably standard, but the difference here is the level of care and personal attention that the physical therapists put into the assessment. Habi, the doctor completing my intake assessment, was thorough, observant, and patient in answering the myriad questions I had about my condition and really helped me feel positive about starting my recovery program even though I had been living with the pain for almost two years. At the end of the assessment, I was given a plan printed out with stretches I needed to do at home, and some band exercises were demonstrated to me that I’d do in the office. And I took away a little bit of hope that maybe I could get through this and get back to doing the activities I loved and was close to giving up on. 2) Expertise: CORA are experts who really know what they’re doing. At every single visit, I learned something new about my condition, and about proper form, pacing, and paying attention to how the exercises felt so that I didn’t exacerbate the injury. I learned to speak up when it hurt or something didn't feel right, and I can’t say enough about how amazing Kelly, Jeremy, and Habi are at modifying the exercises so that I’m within the proper range of motion or correct form. They also do an excellent job of prescribing the appropriate moves for my condition – which should go without saying, but I’ve had other physical therapy practices waste my time and money by prescribing exercises and treatments that did not work. The DPT here, Habi, is more than a doctor – he is an educator and obviously really enjoys sharing his knowledge with his patients. The physical therapists at CORA are clearly kept current with the most recent research-based treatments. This meant my condition was treated properly and I healed faster, which makes me an extremely satisfied client. 3) Monitoring: throughout the course of treatment I was monitored, measured, and re-assessed periodically to ensure that my course of treatment was working. At other PT practices I’ve been prescribed exercises and then kind of left alone with minimal check-in or monitoring. I really think CORA’s adherence to monitoring my progress, then tweaking my program to ensure it was more effective, contributed to my recovering as quickly as I did. 4) Environment: CORA is a really supportive and positive environment where clients are welcomed warmly from the very first phone call by Nicole and Mike and then supported and encouraged throughout the recovery process by the DPT and PTs. Many of the other clients are friendly and encouraging and we ended up chatting and cheering each other on at times. I know I found a great place because on "graduation day", when I was released from in-clinic treatment, I was really happy to be feeling better, but sad to leave. I think when you’re injured, no matter how that injury happened, you come in feeling a bit vulnerable. But at CORA you’re in good hands and you will be treated with care, support and encouragement. I also overheard other patients expressing how much they love the therapists and staff at this location. I am so deeply grateful that now I have some experts close by whom I can call if I hurt myself again. Thank you, CORA!

Hurrah, finished with therapy and feeling great. Two total knee replacements and additional emergency surgery for ruptured quad after an accident. My therapist, Kelly was awesome with my treatment. I don’t know how she put up with me some days, the ruptured quad hurt a lot at first but she got me through over a year, approximately 192 visits and l have no complaints. She got me to do the exercises I did not want to do and now my legs work as they should and if I need treatment for anything else in the future, I’ll be back. And Nicole did a fantastic job of scheduling my appointments, appropriately 192. A huge Thanks to both of you and two other team members.

Great care and scheduling, helped me get back to playing my sport with no issues sooner than I expected! Therapists are friendly and very understanding of where you want to be and how they can get you there.

The exercises are good I think. I did not study to be a physical therapist.the bad thing is that they join you with other clients when they are supposed to find social distance due to the pandemic.

I should have posted this months ago when I finished my therapy, but better late than never.
The staff at CORA (from the front desk to the therapist) are all friendly and professional. A credit to their company and to their profession.
They helped me recover from my BKA. I would often tell my family it was like your own personal cheerleaders. They challenged you to do more and I learned, at times I felt forced to learn how to maneuver with my prosthetic. They ALL are an asset and when you are adjusting to changes in your life, it is important to have professional and friendly helpful people in your world

I was seen for ACL repair surgery and CORA gave me the help i needed to get back to my sport; and i feel more confident running and doing daily activities. Thank you kristen ️.

I’m being seen for a SLAP repair and AC decompression and am very satisfied with my progress. The whole staff is great; they’re easy going, easy to communicate with, and great at explaining what we’re doing and why.

I travel an extra 10 miles each way to use the services of CORA North Tampa. There is an office just 8 miles from me, but the therapists at North Tampa have been providing me with physical therapy services for 2 years now. Kristen, Kelly & Marisa have helped me recover a great deal of my quality of life, challenging me without exceeding my limits or risking injury. Because of these ladies, I'm setting goals for myself I never would have considered just two years ago. This work couldn't have gotten accomplished though without the help of Nicole & Amber in the office, setting & resetting my appointments without complaint, playing the intermediary between my insurance company and doctor's office, making sure all the t's are crossed & i's dotted.
Throughout this time, I've felt confident in their efforts to contain the spread of this virus we're dealing with. Masks are always in place & equipment is cleaned consistently between client uses. I've never been disappointed with the service I receive, nor with the friendly atmosphere at the center.

Following my knee replacement surgery, I chose to use the Cora facility in North Tampa for physical therapy. Cora was specifically recommended by my Orthopedic surgeon. I give Cora the highest rating (five stars) for the following reasons. The office staff always welcomed me when I arrived for my appointments which started the appointment on a positive note. Sometimes I had to change days or hours of appointments and they were always accommodating and helpful. I was seen by several physical therapists over time and all were cheerful and competent. Two therapists “Kristen” and “Marisa” stand out in my mind for both were especially professional. They had positive attitudes and always explained why a particular exercise was necessary. Even though they both stayed very busy with other people I always felt I was getting personal service for they watched over me and made sure I was doing the exercise correctly. I attribute my success in post surgery rehabilitation especially to these two Individuals and highly recommend them to anyone needing physical therapy.

The group in this office have been courteous and professional, willing to work with me and my schedule. They've helped with my PT needs and have taken my situation seriously even when it seems the doctors charged with my care and recovery haven't. Would recommend to anyone who needs this service

I would give this place and its staff 10/5 stars if I could. First time ever going to PT and it was an enjoyable experience for a high grade ankle sprain. Nicole and Amber are always welcoming and incredibly friendly. It was always a pleasure taking to them. The therapists I worked with (Kelly, Kristen, Marissa) were knowledgeable, nice, and fun to be around. They all work well together and get along great with themselves and patients. They always help each other out and are aware of everyone’s therapy so they can help anyone out at anytime. They come up with best therapy for you and help you in the best way possible while pushing you to get better. They also will give you equipment that you need to help at home. Highly recommend.

I just wanted to explain why I gave Cora Physical Therapy North Tampa on Bruce B Downs a five star rating. I have worked with each lady there and they are absolutely amazing in everything that they do. I utterly enjoy going there each day because they really have helped regain my mobility back in my hands because I had extensive surgery on both of my hands and was in a lot of pain: but now that pain is honestly nonexistent and I am almost back to complete recovery in both of my hands. Also with everything going on with the virus they truly take protecting, sanitizing, social distancing, screening, monitoring, and cleansing every single object/piece of equipment that was used after each use to the next level. Each lady does their job with a smile and I am so thankful to each of these ladies here at Cora Physical Therapy North Tampa! I huge thank you to Kelly, Marissa, Kristen, Dawn, Nicole and Amber, you ladies rock (All equivalently PHENOMENAL)!

Amazing and welcoming environment. Staff really listens and does what is best for the patient while also monitoring pain levels with all activities. Would highly recommend/go back! <33

I have been so thankful to these wonderful people. Despite my major pain issues they have been caring, compassionate, and gentle. I highly recommend this place to all. I love them.

I’ve been going to this location since March 2020. I am very happy with the therapy I’ve been receiving. Every employee at this office is kind, respectful, and knowledgeable of there job, From then to now my knee is getting better every day and I’m happy with the therapy I’ve received so far. Honestly the therapy was tough in the beginning and through doing the exercises, my knee feels like I never had the knee surgery. I am great full for choosing the north Tampa location. I will definitely come back for my right knee replacement when I decide to do it in the future. I would like to say from the bottom of my heart thank you to every employee there. Thank You Ray DelRosario
