Information for Medical Providers

At Great Divide Physical Therapy, we believe our patients will receive the best care when their primary care provider is involved in the physical therapy process. We encourage patients to communicate to their doctor they are attending physical therapy and the progress being made. At the patient’s request, we will share information with their primary care provider.
