"Loraine has been my therapist for the past 9 years. I say therapist, because she's been more than just a PT. She's been there for me throughout the extremely emotional ride of going through 3 ACL surgeries and an ongoing shoulder issue. She’s compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. Her sessions are private, so she is really able to dedicate her time to you.

My mom has also gone to Loraine, so she basically is our family therapist. I couldn't recommend anyone more."

"I’ve been very happy with the care provided by Loraine! She addresses my foot issues like no other PT has. Loraine is the first PT to read my records and plan my program addressing my very complex, long-term foot problems. Physical Therapists prior to Loraine told me there was nothing that could be done. I was at a point where I couldn’t walk more than 5 minutes. After just two sessions with Loraine, I was able to walk 5 miles. I’m very pleased to be in her hands and trust her implicitly."

"I had major surgery on my knee the winter of 2020 and signed up for my therapy sessions once approved by my surgeon in January 2021. Dr. Loraine Antoine... she is amazing! She provided A Plus physical therapy and worked me through the most grueling process of my life. Such an amazing set of PT sessions that even on my follow-ups with my surgeon the doctors were in disbelief of the on-going progress I made. The time and dedication that she applies to her patients is unmatched. I recommend everyone I know in need of PT to this office. A true blessing to me. Thank you"
