Massively helpful! Dr Drew took time to listen and understand my should issues and my goals for performance post recovery. He dove right in and I saw results right away. He was very accessible through text between appointments and all my exercises and protocols were easily found on the app. Whether you’ve got a nagging injury that is holding you back from enjoying exercise or sports or you’d like to work on getting to a baseline fitness before diving into group workouts, I would highly recommend scheduling a phone consultation and in person initial evaluation.

AMAZING PAIN RELIEVE AFTER FIRST VISIT. As a 20+ year clinician, I am impressed with Dr. Drew's effective and efficient methods in relieving my years old left shoulder pain. He was able to immediately diagnose the multiple root causes of my pain. Even more phenomenal is how he was able to get my range of motion/mobility back almost to normal on my second visit. I am now able to reach above my head, behind my head down to my upper back and up behind my waist to my upper back. Dr. Drew has done more in 2 visits than any other clinicians, while some even recommended surgery.

I saw Dr Drew for shoulder issues for most of 2024 and into early 2025. After having suffered with chronic pain for quite some time, I really appreciated his approach to diagnosing my issue and identifying the root cause. I am happy to report that I now enjoy more pain free mobility in my shoulder than I have had in years. In general, I also appreciate the way he listens and adjusts a program based on the evolving needs as progress is being made. I'm very grateful for Dr Drew and highly recommend him!
