"I had tried physical therapy at other places, but some of them made me worse or injured another body part. The first time with Dr. Hobusch I could tell he knew the right exercises to give me. I got better in a shorter time with him. Also, I can feel his sincerity with me. He is great!"

"Perhaps 20 years ago I developed an usual injury. A friend who was a PT student told me that he knew of the most skilled therapist who could treat me: Rick Hobusch. Rick’s knowledge, encouragement and patience provided me with a complete recovery. The staff at the clinic are great. Each one is pleasant and helpful! Very personal approach to each patient is given by all physical therapists at Westwood Physical Therapy."
