WHAT OUR PATIENT’S HAVE TO SAY…
“Michael Hope has been a driving force in assisting me over the past five years with the treatment and diagnosis of sports related injuries with our athletes, both males and females. Michael knowledge and practical application of the types of exercises and treatment best fit each individual case is what makes him unique in his approach, and he is not a “one size” fits all physical therapist. This is the one reason why I only use Michael because I know he will take the time to treat each individual athlete, which leads to proper diagnosis and in turn drives the proper treatment to insure long-term improvement and a healthy return to the athletes chosen sport”.
-Mark McLaughlin, Owner of Performance Training Center
“Summit is full of wonderful, careful and caring Therapists. I had a dislocated shoulder and 3 tears in my rotator cuff. With gentle therapy, heat packs and thorough examinations she managed to get me back to full use of my arm in time for me to be ready for the spring gardening season! I had used other therapists in the past and not received the attention and positive results I did from these two people. The atmosphere of the facility is cheerful and friendly. If I injure myself again, I will go back to see them”.
-Elizabeth Vanlderstine
“I have worked with college and professional athletes for almost thirty years. Working at the University of Pittsburgh I have access to some of the finest researcher and rehabilitation specialist in the country. However when I have problems I call Michael. The word best is reserved for the very few… Michael Hope is the best”.
-Buddy Morris-Strength Coach, Arizona Cardinals
“I was introduced to Mike Hope 5 years ago. In the process of coming back from a bilateral hernia repair I injured my low-back. I went through an athletic trainer, a sports medicine doctor, and physical therapist before someone suggested I contact Mike. Within 10 minutes on the phone Mike was able to give me a diagnosis and exercise prescription that enabled me to compete again after a 10-year layoff and achieve a personal best squat of 560 in the 181 sub-master division. Since my initial introduction to Mike I have gone to him with many difficult situations regarding athletic injuries both regarding myself as well as my athletes. Mike always takes to time to explain to me what the problem is and where it may have stemmed from in terms that a non-physical therapist such as myself can understand. He goes out of his way to help his patients as well as other in the field. When in comes to athletic injuries he is the first person I would send someone to!”
-Tim Kontos-Assistant Director for Sports Performance VCU Athletics
“The whole group at Summit PT was driven to help me make a full recovery as fast as possible. After months of doctor visits and no answer as to what was wrong I started PT. On day one at PT Dana did a full evaluation and was able to tell me what was wrong. This was later proven by a MRI and a doctor listing to what I told them I found out in PT. I was told by the doctor surgery was the only answer. With the help of Dana and the team at summit I Have made a full recovery with no surgery”.

“Went here for a torn patellar tendon. Almost 6 months later I have full range of motion in my knee. Mike , Alex, and Michelle are the best combo since Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman lol. Although I’m happy that my knee is recovered thanks to their work, I’m sad I won’t be going every week. All this to say, I highly recommend to anyone”!
-Odi Martinez
“Dana put me on track and gave me the life-long tools to relieve my back, hip and knee pain. He was always positive and upbeat and listened to me throughout my therapy. I now know how to prevent and/or treat future pain. Thank you, Dana!.”
-Susan Post
“Erin is hands down the BEST physical therapist that I have been too. I only wish I had found her sooner. She listened to my pain concerns and confidently put together a great therapy program that has changed my way of living for the better. Many other places give you a rushed feeling or lack of concern, I have never once felt that at Summit PT with Erin. *Bonus the Cicero location is attached to Champions gym which allows you to use any of the gym's equipment during your visit, including the pool for any aquatic therapy.”
-Jon Gibbs
“Mike Hope is the most sought after rehab specialist in the country. As strength and conditioning coaches, our goal is to prevent injuries before they ever happen. Over the years, Mike has been a tremendous resource for us in making sure our athletes stay healthy. When we have a rehab/prehab question he is the first person we think of for help.”
-Sal Alosi-New York Jets
“Imagine being happily surprised by a health practitioner who actually listens and doesn't rush you thru like the typical take-a-number patient experience. I just started PT with Dana Greene who was highly recommended by a colleague. So far, my only regret is not having contacted the practice sooner. I'm already feeling better, empowered, and looking forward to continuing on the path to wellness.”
