Kelly is one of the kindest and caring NWM team members who goes above and beyond to take care of me. She’s having to deal with the aftermath of a patient who had cancer and in some ways this is just as challenging as the cancer treatments.

After my first session with Kelly Chaplin I knew I was with the PT. She was extremely thorough and really listened to my body issues (a result of 2 surgeries in the last year). Her demeanor is very calming which makes you feel calm. Feeling comfortable with your PT makes you focus on the learning/ exercises. I look forward to learning alot from Kelly.

Had 2 sessions with Kelly, she’s very nice but I did not agree with her approach. She insisted on relaxation techniques and I wanted strengthening exercises and I felt like I wasn’t being heard in what I felt I needed. She heard but did not listen to my needs. Had to wait half a year to see her and will have to find someone else I feel comfortable with and whose approach feels right for me.
