Have you noticed that healthcare has become more like a business of numbers?
North Carolina Center For Physical Therapy is a privately-owned clinic opened in 2010 specifically to focus on personalized one on one therapy. We see all types of orthopedic, athletic, post-operative, gait and balance, women’s health, and some neurological diagnoses. Our goal here is to get all of our patients back to functioning at their maximum abilities.
Our therapists take time to listen to you because that’s what it takes to solve the complex puzzle of your muscles, joints, nerves, and tendons that have become interwoven and off-balance in a way that is causing you pain that you just can’t get rid of.
Misty Pidgeon, PT/CEO, graduated from the University of Vermont in May 1991 and started treating patients at Duke Medical Center. She quickly moved on to become a Clinical Director at Treyburn Rehab, worked at Durham Regional Home Health then 8 years at Carolina Meadows in Chapel Hill.
If you have noticed, like Misty, that healthcare has become more like a business of numbers, you will understand why she opened her own practice. She decided she could run a successful practice on her own with a focus on QUALITY care, not QUANTITY. With over 20 years of experience in the field of physical therapy she can treat injuries, ailments, and diagnoses from women’s health to general orthopedics. If you don’t want to feel like just another NUMBER when you seek medical care, you will want to visit a PT in a clinic designed to treat you like a person!
