Reviews From Our Libby Patients
“Libby Clinic is awesome, the entire staff is very kind courteous and go out of their way to make sure you are getting the most out of your rehabilitation process and make you feel like family and have a memorable experience. I personally will never forget any of the staff even after my PT is complete.“
– Steven C, 5-Star Google Review
“If you are looking for a Physical Therapist who will take their time ensuring you finish your rehabilitation at your best! Then this is the place to go. Tim Whalen and his team are top notch. Tim really took the time to listen and explain the plan for my rehabilitation. He also paid attention to how my body was responding to the plan and adjusted as necessary to get more out of me. At the end of my plan, I was able to get back to 100%. Tessa who handles scheduling and the front desk, always ensured I had the times and dates that would work for me. This meant we had to schedule in advance, but she stayed on top of it. Thank you OrthoRehab team, Libby, MT.“
