I have been using the services of Novi DPT for years now and I couldn't be happier with the results and relaxed atmosphere at this PT office.

I highly recommend receiving physical therapy at DPT Novi. Dr. Burns, Dr. Sinna, Nyisha and Nora were all involved in providing excellent care, support and encouragement prior to my acl surgery and afterwards. Dr. Burns assured me that I could reduce my right knee swelling and stiffness while strengthening it prior to surgery. His assessment and evaluation of my right knee was thorough. He explained my three week action plan (prior to surgery) and always answered all questions that I had regarding the purpose of each exercised performed. Nyisha (PTA) always made sure that I had proper form in each exercise, cautioned against over exerting myself during each movement, and assessed my pain level throughout. Nora (Patient Cate Coordinator) provided continuous encouragement throughout my progress and guidance on executing each movement with proper form and safely.
I worked with Dr. Sinna post-surgery and have progressed well throughout my recovery. He took the time to explain what to expect at each milestone during my recovery. He educated me on the anatomy of the knee, the purpose behind strengthening the supporting muscles that surround it, and the reasoning behind how my injury occured. He always assessed my pain level and adjusted my exercises as needed to reduce the swelling. I often become frustrated at adjusting and having to relearn how to maneuver my knee. He understood my frustrations but always reminded me of my progress.
I was an avid volleyball player prior to injury. I'm 42yo and played recreationally on 4 teams three days per week. I've been advised to return in a year. This reality has been difficult to embrace because I spent 10 months each year (for the past 9 years) playing volleyball. Dr. Burns shared with me that everyday after surgery gets better, and it did. He encouraged me to focus on my daily progress.
What I love most about going to DPT is the culture. The staff takes the time to get to know you- likes, dislikes, hobbies and family. Everyone cares about your progress. They listen attentively, provide encouragement and show empathy. They communicate well amongst each other. They strive to meet each patient's needs while helping them return to their baseline level of functioning. They always interacted with my 6yo daughter and made her feel welcomed. I've had other volleyball related injuries and visited with other physical therapists' offices, but never felt so connected with the staff at DPT NOVI. My surgeon (Dr. Frush from Motor City Orthopedics) was impressed with my progress (improved range of motion, decreased swelling, and strength).
Dr. Burns has put together a wonderful, compassionate, respectful and skilled team that has become family. My time there has been life changing. They have helped me restore confidence to play again next year. Thanks to then, I'm getting stronger mentally and physically to return to the sport that I love.
