What Ala's patients say...
I’ve had two successful treatment programs at Cornerstone for foot problems, both times with Ala Hojatti. She was terrific. Very thorough and organized; always standing by ready to follow up her treatments to see whether they had the desired effect or needed to be adjusted; an excellent communicator and a warm person. No hesitation at all in making this a 5-star rating.
What Ala's patients say...
My physiotherapist Ala, provided the most attentive, knowledgeable and caring service. She is utterly delightful to work with. What was truly above and beyond were her email check ins when she was unable to attend the office. At a time when she should have been attending to her family needs, she took time to ensure that my pain levels were managed and to inquire about my needs and well-being. She is truly a remarkable health-care provider.
What Ala's patients say...
Great place! Appointments run in time, staff are friendly and Ala, my Physiotherapist, did a great job diagnosing my issue and resolving my pain. I highly recommend Ala and Cornerstone.
What Ala's patients say...
I saw Ala for my knee for a few months during the summer and she was absolutely phenomenal. Very attentive and caring and would always modify my exercises if I felt discomfort/pain. She is very knowledgeable and did a great job clarifying the problems for me. The staff is also really great and helpful.
What Ala's patients say...
My physio therapist Ala was amazing and I highly recommend her. She was able to understand the issues I had with my knee right away and tailor a recovery plan which worked great for me and brought my knee back to full capacity! Thank you!
