I was at Pivot for around 7 months. The general policy seems to be to encourage patients to come 2-3 times a week. I've made some good progress from my disc herniation. Unfortunately, the billing process with insurance (Aetna) has been so terrible that I cannot recommend Pivot to anyone. I've been discharged for months now and am still constantly calling the billing department due to different billing issues, they have never answered any emails sent. I have very good coverage through my work and have not had billing issues with any other provider in Pittsburgh. It's been disappointing and I would recommend patients look elsewhere for PT
I feel fortunate to attend Pivot PT (an Athletic Co.) in the Eastside of Pittsburgh for treatment with a range of orthopedic issues. The kind, welcoming, caring atmosphere is greatly appreciated along with the healing, technical expertise of the physical therapists and support staff! This all also is with much credit to Rick, in his oversight/leadership role, and Shanell and Ramona, Patient Experience Coordinators, who efficiently register, sign patients in and out, and greatly help to place them at ease. I am pleased to be able to offer additional compliments based on my personal experience with two physical therapists. Danny B. with his ongoing, exceedingly pleasant, encouraging manner and approach has steadily provided PT treatment to address a host of difficulties and challenges over time. Jared T., as a pelvic floor certified therapist (among other specializations), with his terrifically pleasant nature, has a unique way of making patients feel extremely comfortable. This includes scientifically based explanations, and follow-up materials to enhance patient understanding and practice. Thank you to All at PIVOT PT for your highly impactful role and place in our community!
I have never had an experience in PT that was productive, impactful and comfortable as the one I recently had at Athletico Pivot (East Side), Pittsburgh. The staff were very friendly, But the standout person for me was Daniel Buckley. Dannie is a PT pro – very skillful, knowledgeable, and considerate. In our very first meeting he conceived a biweekly treatment plan that was intended to cure the meniscus tear in my left shoulder that was painful, reduced freedom of motion, and limited use of my left arm. In barely a week’s time I saw noticeable improvement and by the end of my 6 week treatment schedule I had totally recovered. During this period, Dannie was patient, caring and guiding me through a number of exercises that include use of bands, lifting weights , performing arm and shoulder exercises – all conducted in a well measured, calculated and flexible manner. I am grateful to the Athletico Pivot (East Side) to have treated and cured me in an ambience that was unhurried, cheerful and pleasant. And to Dannie – wish him the very best.
After weeks of being too busy to make an appointment, I finally made one (it was so easy!) and Dylan treated the excruciating pain in my shoulder. By one week the pain was manageable, by a month it was all but gone. Can't recommend enough.
I saw Dylan after I had meniscus surgery and had a fantastic experience. I felt like he was always listening and tweaking my routine based on different sensations I was experiencing. The whole vibe of the clinic is lovely. they’re truly a big happy family and are so welcoming!
