About McNerney & Associates
At McNerney & Associates, P.A., we have a team of 11 experienced physical therapists in conjunction with the staff who administer the office committed to the care and attainable outcomes for every patient. All of the clinicians have over 10 years of experience as well as many obtaining advanced certifications and specialties.
Each physical therapist has his or her own caseload of patients and follows that group of patients on a regularly scheduled basis over the course of their treatment. Patients are treated by the same physical therapist unless specific arrangements are made with the patient.
After a one-hour initial assessment, treatments are typically scheduled at 45-minute intervals and patients receive undivided attention during that time. Patients are not doubled or tripled up and physical therapists do not distribute their time among several patients at the same time.
