Taren Vaughan was great. Great listener and I felt really cared about me and trying to work through my back issues. She was very thorough and gave me printed out sheets of the therapy that I needed to do at home. She worked very, very hard to get me back. I would recommend Taren all day long.

I've used Cary Orthopaedics physical therapy twice. Once 3yrs ago and recently 5wks ago. Both experiences were super. My recent visit with Taren Vaughn was amazing. Her massaging technique on my tendonitis foot enable me to walk with balance and little pain. Their exercise programs are doable at home too. I'm 76 yrs young again!!

Destiny Burns is my angel of hope! I’d been seen here before after having ACDF with Dr, Mathur and everyone here is excellent. But I recently started PT again after getting diagnosed with cervical dystonia. Just as I thought things were hopeless and I was doomed to be in pain for the rest of my life or have Botox injections, I found Destiny! She is an absolute pro and just a wonderful and caring person in general! Destiny is incredibly skilled at dry needling and really worked to understand my condition. The dry needling in combination with specialized PT including sensory tricks and stretching, she is the first person to truly give me hope and relief! I can walk in with my head severely tilted and turned to the left with my left shoulder shrugged so much that my ear is touching my shoulder and I can walk out with my shoulder down 80% and my head almost straight! Incredible relief and her treatment had literally made me feel that I can live a better quality of life. Her partner David is great too. I’m so thankful for this team and to get this much relief for a painful and chronic disease is priceless!
