Reflecting on 2016

As we ring in 2017, we want to take the time to reflect on 2016. Tidewater Physical Therapy saw many positive changes last year. We added new members to our internal Tidewater Physical Therapy family, with the addition of three new clinical directors; two of whom are the senior physical therapist at their respective clinics. Collectively, throughout our 16 Delmarva clinics, we helped thousands of patients with successful recoveries, pain management, and injury prevention. And internally, we have grown in our cohesion by utilizing new business practices. However, with all these changes, we are still Delmarva’s leading and most respected provider of physical therapy.

Chief Operating Officer, Jennifer Walter says, “As Tidewater Physical Therapy celebrated its 32nd year of business, we had a sense of pride in the steps in place to continuously evaluate areas in which we can improve. From reviewing patient surveys to hiring secret shoppers, we are committed to staying true to our mission – providing the highest level of physical therapy and customer service. Every member of the Tidewater Physical Therapy team is committed to this mission. In addition to our unwavering support of the communities that we serve we also increased our commitment to giving back to our profession and industry.”
