Our Patient Reviews

Sovereign Rehabilitation

4.9 / 5.0

Based on 54 reviews

Walt Gansser

I worked with Scott in the East Cobb location and had a 5 star experience. He worked with me twice a week a designed a home workout program that was great. The facility and staff were all first first rate and this made a big difference for drop foot condition. I can't say enough about Scott and my total experience.

Mr. Mac Donald

I visited the Towne Lake office which was a new facility and found the environment very friendly and relaxing but business like in its approach to handling the patients needs. The interaction between the office manager and the therapist seems to be a very well working relationship and it provided a sense that either one was more than capable of getting things taken care for any of there patients. My schedule for having my therapy done was a bit hectic and not a normal schedule but the Town Lake office was very accommodating to my need over several months. I was post surgical from having a ACDF procedure and had lasting complications from the surgery and after struggling with my WC Doctor to get back to therapy to fix my issues I was granted therapy and Mrs. Shahidi came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Mrs. Shahidi was very attentive to my issues and adjusted to my daily conditions as I came in for therapy. Her willingness to adapt to my changing conditions kept everything going in a forward motion. Lisa the office manager was more than helpful and very accommodating to any request made of her to help keep the paper work side of things in order, which for a Work Comp case can be very consuming. I came in with the expectation that I would with the help of Mrs. Shahidi be able to get my issues corrected and be able to get back to daily life as best as possible with my ACDF having taken place and I can say those expectations were met and then some.

Dr. Adam Leaderman suggested Sovereign due to multiple surgeries that left me stiff and achy. Bita (my therapist) put me on a regimen that was incredible. Hamstrings, quadriceps, and hips were causing chronic pain. I now feel much better and what's more I'm feeling better every day. Thank you Bita for all you guidance and help. You are the best.

Steven Nehmen

east cobb Marietta location was fabulous! my left shoulder was a trauma tear situation. never believed in therapy until now. very impressive team. I feel 10 years younger now too. top marks for the whole staff. always felt welcome and always received individual attention for my problem. steve

MacKenzie Carvalho

My 10 year old daughter hurt her knee in gymnastics and we were referred to Jason here at Sovereign. He was fantastic with her and she learned a plethora of exercises and strengthen techniques to help get her knee back to full strength.

Erin Robinson

My location is in Alpharetta on Old Milton Pkwy. Two words...LIFE CHANGING... I was treated primarily by Kelly but i also got my dry needling done by Angela. When i first came in i couldn’t even turn my neck or bend forward or much of anything really. Extremely nice staff. I felt as if i became family there and gained friends. Jasmine and I were always cracking up upfront. I finally feel more like myself again. I’m much happier. I’m more active and I’m a lot more knowledgeable of what to do when i have my flare ups. Thank you!!!!!

    Great staff! Scott was great, always on time and patient. He improved my knee very much and gave me detailed home exercise instructions. Lisa, in the front office was always cheerful, courteous and efficient!

    Jason Fritz was my Physical Therapist at Sovereign Rehab in Decatur. I had BOTH knees replaced last year, but only 3 months apart, due to waiting to see if our insurance would cover the second one. The first surgery went really well, but I had complications with the second one... probably because the first one didn't have as much time to heal before we did the second one. Jason was GREAT. He was very patient, especially after the second one when I got discouraged at times, thinking that I wasn't getting better as fast as I had expected. He definitely pushed me to do better, but he does not have that "drill sergeant attitude" like you are shirking if you are having pain or difficulty. I don't respond well to that kind of coaching. And he took the time to hear my concerns, and was never dismissive or told me it would just be fine. I highly recommend Jason for your therapist, if you are considering surgery at or near DeKalb Medical.

    Sovereign PT was recommended by a friend, to whom I will always be grateful! What a truly fine staff of professionals - from the office to the therapists! Clinton Gouveia,, my therapist, at the Dunwoody location, evaluated my ankle injury/surgery, prescribed a treatment plan, explained everything while putting my mind at ease, put in a lot of effort with a smile, and professionally guided me through therapy that made a significant improvement in my ability to participate in day-to-day activities. He made a painful experience pleasant! The other therapists also provided a respectful environment of warmth, concern, helpfulness, kindness and encouragement. A GREAT facility with in INCREDIBLE staff!! 5 stars

    Judi Hornback

    I have been going to PT on and off for several years. Caitlin and the staff at Sovereign-Conyers were fantastic. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and made it fun (well, as much fun as you can have doing PT). Best of all, I am doing better--the best I have been in about 5 years. THANK YOU!

      COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update

      We want to assure you the health and safety of our patients is our priority and as such, we continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.

      Our clinical teams are following recommendations and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local government authorities, and are prepared to quickly respond and adapt in order to maintain clinic operations and safely serve patients.

      Our physical therapy clinics are currently open to see and treat patients, and we have implemented increased safety measures to help prevent the spread of the virus in our facilities, including:

      • Limiting treatment to one patient per therapist each hour.
      • Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). Therapists will be wearing masks and gloves to protect the health and well-being of our patients and employees. As always, our therapists will continue to practice proper hand hygiene before and after each treatment.
      • Cleaning and sanitizing facilities — including all surfaces before and after each patient. Our gyms, treatment tables, and equipment are routinely cleaned using CDC-approved disinfectants before and after each patient, as well as at the start and end of each day. Waiting rooms are also wiped down between each appointment.

      We are committed to providing the best possible care to our patients while maintaining a safe workplace for our therapists and staff. If you believe you may be experiencing signs and symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive in the last 14 days, we ask that you call our office to reschedule your appointment.

      Please note this is a rapidly evolving situation. We will notify patients directly of any clinic closures or changes to business hours as soon as those decisions are made. As always, refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a reliable source for the most up-to-date information and guidance related to the virus.
