Bill Snell

Highly recommended

Scott Korbin

Dennis and staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Best place to go for PT.Patients must try dry needling.

John Petrusa

Check-in process was easy and seamless. Brandon was very courteous and knowledgeable about my type of injury.

Missagh Rahmani

Damien & Yong are the only reason I am back on my feet and stronger. Incredible attention to detail. Endless amounts of exercises make things exciting not stale. You feel like a pro athlete throughout the process. High-tech gadgets and intelligent/creative planning make for a unique and rare experience. To top it all, they really genuinely care.

Sharif Elshinnawi

Dennis was great! Very professional and knowledgeable about my condition. Dry needling is not the most comfortable treatment, so I appreciate his approach and ability to quickly find and resolve my soft tissue injury. I will definitely return if I need additional treatment and refer him to my clients.

Heather Cassese

Damien is not only a very skilled and thorough physical therapist, he also truly cares about his patients' quality of life. He will listen to you and tailor your treatments to meet your goals - using his expertise to guide and suggest without ever being bossy or dismissive. I would absolutely recommend him to any friend, family member, or anyone needing help to get back to themselves after an injury.

Katie Anderson

Amazing team at Raleigh Ortho! My persistent shoulder pain was 100% better in just a few weeks and I’m back to competing in the sport I love. Thank you team!

Ryan Moravick

Damien was great at treating my injury. Good listener and very methodical as we went through the process.

Chris Caran

Very helpful! Listens to feedback about injury and adjusts accordingly. Best PT experience.

Bob Cooley

Damien has helped me so much with my hip bursitis. He is very knowledgeable. He has taught me many tips along the way on how to help myself too.Thank you!

Sharon Hader

Dennis is the best - he asks great questions, listens to concerns and is invested in my recovery!

Jeff Sackaroff

I’ve been going to Dennis Meszler for various injuries over the course of 7 years. My pain is always stubborn and takes time to resolve, but never at any point did Dennis give up or tell me that there is nothing else that he can do. Once he mentioned that if I was willing to hang in there than he would keep doing PT until we found treatments that worked. And he always does. Dennis is always professional and incredibly patient and I feel very fortunate to be able to be in his care!

Tina Giammetta

Dennis is the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. Despite moving a bit farther away, I’m still loyal to his practice and will always look to seek out his advice. The entire team is knowledgeable, professional, and simply great!

John Misenheimer

My second session with Damien and his team. Damien is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. The facility has great equipment. So far so good!

Lee King

Very professional and courteous staff! Grateful for their guidance and support after my knee surgery. Would highly recommend. Cool facility as well.

Brian Rea

Dennis is fantastic, the whole staff is. Dennis helped me recover from a severe glute strain through physical therapy and dry needling techniques. His understanding of anatomy and biomechanics is top notch!

Yvonne Beal

I wouldn't go anywhere else. Dennis and his team are top notch!!

debra ryan

Anna Ran

Achilles tendon re-attach therapy. Great experience Very knowledgable I feel supported and ready to get back to normal

Dave Goodall

Dennis Meszler is amazing, as is the rest of the staff. Started seeing him for a shoulder issue, which is on the mend, and have also been working with him on hip and knee issues. He is incredibly intelligent, listens to you as the patient, and cares about your rehabilitation. 10/10 would recommend!

Laura Cary

Dennis and Renee were thorough and explained things well. Very pleased.

Robin Gault-Winton

Dennis is an amazing physical therapist, and I've seen a bunch of different PT's in the last couple decades with various issues related to a condition I just figured out I have. Dennis is thorough and methodical and explains everything he's doing. I think he sees each patient as a puzzle and his goal is to put all the pieces together to solve the puzzle. He doesn't just give you the standard treatment plan for the issue you're having, he personalizes everything to what is best suited to your situation. He is great at what he does and I highly recommend him!

Jennifer Woodward

Best Physical Therapist in Wake County!!

Raimundo Family

As a parent, I have been very pleased with Damien's professionalism. My son, the patient, feels as if Damien understands his injury yet also understands his determination and desire to return to play sports. Damien continues to reiterate to my son the importance of his exercise "homework" as well as proper diet and their role within the recovery process. The Performance Center is definitely the place for young athletes!

Heather McCracken

Dennis is a very experience, highly skilled physical therapist who really cares about his patients. If you do what he tells you to do, you will definitely improve from where you are now. He helped me tremendously and I highly recommend him. You can't go wrong with Dennis!

A K

I've been other places where you feel like a number. Here, I received personal attention and didn't feel like the therapist was just going through the motions. I feel like my recovery has been enhanced by the service provided and highly recommend them.

Jonathan Smith

After having experiencing another Raleigh Ortho location’s lack of care and time to address my shoulder issue, I was guided to APC Therapy within the same medical group. It’s amazing how staff professionalism can truly make a patient’s experience completely different. The fact that I needed to give history to past trauma, and diagnostic approaches from a pain specialist, to really hone in on the therapy that will work was needed. Damien’s approach and advised exercises to my chronic shoulder pain, and Natalie’s positive greeting upon arrival, were exactly what I needed to make up for the negative experience at the Asheville clinic. There’s always a reason for negative experiences in my opinion to lead us to positive places like APC Raleigh Ortho Performance. Even though I’m not a spring chicken anymore I stay active as much as possible, but this injury has held me back from physically doing more. Thank you to the administrative staff also who checked back with me to ensure I received a much better experience at APC Therapy. I’m grateful Alex shared this location and we turned a bad start into a very productive path I hope will help heal this shoulder pain.
