Waiting for appointments for PT

[Guest guest]

I

wanted to mention that when I was had PT yesterday, Raquel (Raquel Perlis) was

telling me that she had 19 clients a day and was booking new patients now in

July. She felt really bad, because one woman was so upset yesterday that she

hung up on their receptionist. There is so many women who need her help in the Boston

area, and for one reason she is one of the few that take insurance. Someone

asked me if I could put in a good word for them and see if I could get them in

right away to see Raquel. Unfortunately I couldn’t, but as I explained to

her - make your appointment now and wait the three months until your time

comes up and then you can make your appointments permanently. I waited my three

months before and eventually my time came up. I went to PT for three months

until I had my surgery. I had all my appointments scheduled following surgery,

but could not go until yesterday, so I just cancelled them a week or so in

advance so someone else could take them. Yesterday when I was there I made my

appointments until the end of November, and if as the doctor said he expects me

to have to go for a couple of years, when I get to the summer months, then I

will make more appointments. Unfortunately if something comes up and you can’t

make your appointment, you are sort of stuck, you are put on their cancellation

list, but it gives you very little notice if they call you.

Also

Raquel was telling me that I was the only PN patient she was taking because the

skin rolling was so hard on her hands, because that is all she does for the

whole hour on me (both internally and externally). But for others that are

there she does other things than skin rolling. That was when she started

telling me that her average patient is only there for twelve treatments. She treats

primarily vestibulitis and problems with unable to have sex because of pain. She

said she has a 95 percent success rate, as long as the patient is cooperative

in everything she suggests. And for anyone who is embarrassed in just having a

pap test done, you need to put all inhabitations aside, when you have this type

of PT. If anyone lives in the Boston area and their vulvar problems are sexual,

I would suggest making an appointment with Raquel. Last summer she treated a

woman from Pakistan who was unable to consummate her marriage due to pain and

fear. At the end of twelve weeks, as she said, the couple was very happy when

they went back home.

Also,

If anyone can get North of Boston, my PT Ann Levesque in Beverly is

recommended by Raquel and is incredible!! She has helped so many

people, and same thing - you don't have to go forever, usually if you

do what she asks you get better. I am still going only because I am

pregnant and want to get through the pregnancy and post-partum with her

help. She doesn't take insurance but my insurance company reimburses me

70% when I send in my receipts.
