Testimonials
Check out these testimonials from our former students to hear firsthand how our clinicians have positively impacted their personal and professional growth. Their experiences provide valuable perspectives and inspire trust in the opportunities we offer.
This has been my favorite rotation thus far. I’ve loved meeting everyone there and Candice was amazing!
The healthcare workers at this facility are very down to earth and make you feel at ease while working with them.
Definitely have good role models at this facility. They not only help teach you, but they also ask questions as to what your thoughts are and what you would do. This definitely helps with critical thinking.
Overall, I felt like Apex has a very welcoming environment. All of the clinicians are friendly, and I can tell that they all have a heart for each of their patients.
I was able to learn a lot about the profession and I feel more confident in my skills than I did prior to this clinical rotation. My CI and PT both were great role models and represent the profession well.
Tori was a great CI who I learned a lot from and everyone at Apex was so kind and welcoming.
I was able to work on manual techniques and evaluation skills. Everyone in the clinic was helpful and kind (CI, front desk, aide, PTA).
I would recommend Apex to anyone! It is a great environment for learning and growing while discovering self-efficacy.
During my 10 weeks here I feel like I have tremendously improved my skills and role as a clinician. I was able to improve in all aspects with the help of everyone at the Buckeye location, they taught me new manual techniques, exercises, evaluation flow, time management, and improved my confidence in myself.
I feel my time at Apex has helped me have a lot of personal growth as a student physical therapist. I feel I have gained so much knowledge and confidence in the past 6 weeks.
I definitely improved as a clinician in Manuel technique and also improved my social skills and interactions with patients.
Heather was awesome and any student would be lucky to have her! She embodies exactly what you think of in a professional PTA.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Troy location and learned a ton. Cory and Sheena made me feel super welcome and were always helpful.
I did enjoy my entire 8 week clinical rotation here at ApexNetwork. I was able to continue to improve my skills throughout each week, as I have became confident with completing evaluation and progress reports independently. I also have become confident with documenting both SOAP and evals/PR on my own with little to no errors. I also have been able to practice the skills that I have learned throughout my PT tenure.
I really appreciate all the time and thought both Rob and Amanda put towards my clinical experience here at the Glen Carbon North location over the last 8 weeks. Having Rob as my CI was great, and he did a great job on providing me more independency each week, until I was able to complete roughly 50% of a patient caseload without minimal supervision. I would recommend this location to future students interested in this location!
