„ After shattering my elbow and undergoing surgery in February, I transitioned to Fatima’s care in April from a facility in Boston. While I had been told that achieving more than 80% range of motion was a fortunate outcome, Fatima made it clear from our first meeting if my goal was 100% she would do what she could to get me to that goal, never putting numbers on it so I knew we could get there and we did!! She listened to my concerns and understood my determination, and her compassionate approach made a significant difference in my recovery.. "
