Had a surgery May 13, 2025 that left me paralyzed waist down with a spinal cord injury. 4 months post op, I started aquatic therapy at Drayer and 5 months post op I added in land therapy. Almost a year later of continuous therapy with Mathew Wilson I have regained mobility. I went into therapy at Drayer in a wheelchair and now can walk with a Cane and I'm hoping to be able to walk out of there when I'm done with therapy unassisted. I can't Thank Matt and Cameron enough for everything they have done for me. They push me to be my best! And the staff for always being so kind and understanding and working with me on all my needs! ( and man I'm needy ) Thank you Matt for putting up with me for so long! You truly are the BEST THERAPIST! And mostly thank you for always pushing me ! Thank you Cameron for always having my back when Matt was mean to me lol. And giving me all the support and encouragement and you also pushed me to do my best! But I did ok!! I can do better next time! Hahaha.

Since my fifth spinal surgery, finding the right physical therapist has meant everything to me — and I truly cannot say enough good things about Chelsea Lengyel. She is incredibly thorough, attentive, and genuinely takes the time to listen and understand what I’m experiencing. Chelsea creates an environment where I feel comfortable, supported, and cared for throughout every appointment. Her friendly personality and compassionate approach make such a difficult recovery process feel a little less overwhelming. I’ve never felt rushed or dismissed, and it’s clear she truly cares about her patients and their progress. I’m so grateful to have found someone who is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also kind and encouraging during such an important stage of healing.

I have gone to Drayer for a variety of therapies over the years. Each time I go, the therapists are awesome. You get the full treatment including hands on and exercise. All treatments are based on the individual and not cookie cutter. I give them a 10/10.

Response from the owner · 5 months ago

Thank you, Veronica, for the five-star review! We're so glad you had a great experience with our team. Your trust in us means everything.
