Why Choose Pittsburgh Physical Medicine for Post-Surgical Rehab
The difference between post-surgical rehab at Pittsburgh Physical Medicine and at a corporate PT clinic is simple: you see the same licensed PT — Dr. Crockatt — every single session. You are never handed off to an aide or tech. He knows your history, your surgery, your progress, and your goals. He adjusts your program at every visit based on how you are actually responding.
Our patients recovering from knee replacement, rotator cuff surgery, and spinal surgery consistently report faster milestones and better functional outcomes than they experienced at previous PT clinics. We coordinate directly with your orthopedic surgeon and follow their protocol exactly.
Insurance Coverage for Post-Surgical PT in Pittsburgh
Post-surgical physical therapy is typically well-covered by UPMC Health Plan, Highmark BCBS, Aetna, and United Healthcare. We verify your specific benefits before your first visit and handle the billing so you can focus on recovery. A surgical referral for PT is usually provided automatically by your surgeon — but if you need to arrange it separately, we can guide you through the process. Call (412) 404-8337 to get started.
