"I am appreciative and happy I was able to switch from Pville PT as they did not push me hard enough. I had hoped to be back to work sooner. They never touched my knee, also didn't show which muscles to engage (cane walking). Left bike at same resistance. Sean at DBQ was patient and explained timeline for numbness. Touches my knee every visit and reassures me movement is fine. He works with cane demonstration and explains the muscles to work. Tells me how many times to do which exercises at home--never knew if I was overdoing exercises or not doing enough. (didn't happen in Pville just given papers showing exercise) Sean adjusts exercises to build strength to get back to work in timeline allowed. I would have never gotten strength and back to work in time if I kept going to Pville PT. Sean uses timers so you can be independent in doing exercises and he can be more efficient with each patient."

"I could tell Sean S. was working hard trying to decide what to do for my pain. I appreciated that he treated me like a person and was understanding of my frustration with this problem. After leaving my initial exam I actually felt like we might get this figured out"

"Sean Schulte is one of the best Physical Therapist that I've had. His treatment is no non-sense and well thought out. If one techique doesn't work, he takes a different approach to acheive his final goal. He displays total concern for the patient and works to insure the best outcome possible."

"Sean, listened to my concerns and needs of what I had gone through before I had my MRI.. and then my injection.. he was very caring and said we would take everything very slow since I'm kind of on the mend.. sent me home with some mild exercises which I appreciate I didn't want anything to disrupt my healing!! Everybody's been so good at Medical Associates with this whole process for me of the pain. I had the last eight weeks.!"

"I thought Dr. Schulte was excellent. I called my mother after the fact, who spent almost 40 years as an ER nurse, and told her that I haven't had a doctor I've felt more at ease and comfortable with. He treated me like a friend even though we just met. He was professional and told me how it is, and honestly in today's world I respect that. Dr. Schulte not only helped me while I was in the office but set me up for success outside. I can honestly say I never do these surveys, let alone leave a comment. But I felt it was necessary because of my experience with Dr. Schulte."
