Anna is a superb clinician. She has a very broad knowledge base and excellent assessment skills. These, combined with her kind, caring and perceptive nature, are a recipe for her patients to make steady progress through their physiotherapy needs.

What Anna's patients say...

Anna Staruszkiewicz has been my physiotherapist for years. She’s a star. As a clumsy dork who regularly hurts himself I can say Anna has reversed all of my self-inflicted damage. Hands, arms, neck, back. She is great with treatment, follow-up and support through the whole process. She’s amazing. Her great sense of humor and fashion forward style are icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

What Anna's patients say...

Dealing with the impacts of personal injury can be very complex and challenging.  Getting connected with Anna Staruszkiewicz though has been such a huge game changer. Anna is quite knowledgeable, very thorough and systematic with her approach and strategy in addressing both underlying and apparent issues. Most importantly, she is a very friendly and compassionate expert and practitioner. She is highly recommended!

What Anna's patients say...

I was in immense discomfort, and within the first couple of treatments, Anna helped to relieve pain significantly. Anna is an exceptional PT. An added administrative bonus: my claims are filed by Cornerstone’s awesome front desk staff for me, which is a huge time saver. I sincerely wish I had discovered Cornerstone sooner.

What Anna's patients say...

I had terrible back pain and I wasn’t sure what to do about it. I called Cornerstone and immediately was impressed. The receptionist talked to different physiotherapists to see if any could make time to see me. Luckily, Anna did. She was so helpful – extremely knowledgeable and always had ideas to try out. After every session she sent detailed reminders about exercises we’d discussed. She really saved me!
