What Our Wheeling Patients Say

Real reviews from active individuals like you

"I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care my son received from Dr. Frank following a recent leg and ankle surgery after basketball injury. Dr. Frank's expertise and compassionate support proved invaluable. His comprehensive treatment plan was instrumental in my son's swift recovery. His professionalism, skill, and genuine concern for his patients are truly remarkable. He is an amazing listener, super responsive, and addressed all of my questions and concerns quickly and with patience.

If you’re looking for an exemplary therapist, who works with athletes, look no further! Many thanks for a fantastic job!”

"Dr. Larry isn’t just a physical therapist - he’s a sports therapist. The difference is that his focus is not just on basic recovery, but most importantly strengthening the injured area to significantly reduce the risk of injury going forward. Unbeknownst to us, two of my daughter’s friends (basketball player & cross country/track teammates) also used Dr. Larry for injury recovery which underscores the high quality expertise he provides. His price for services are very reasonable and that we found to be much cheaper than a traditional recovery therapist. I can’t recommend Dr. Larry enough. He’s the best in the business in the area!!"

"I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Larry at Fuel Sports. He’s hands down the best physical therapist I could have asked for. I came to him with ankle pain while training for the Chicago Marathon, and his expertise made all the difference. Larry worked with me on one-leg exercises that significantly improved my running form, making it much more efficient. Thanks to his guidance and the tailored exercises he provided, I was able to finish my marathon!"

"I was sure that I needed surgery, until meeting with Dr. Larry. My shoulder had been bothering me for about 10 years, but had been getting progressively worse. I was to the point that even driving and holding the steering wheel for a while was causing discomfort. Dr. Larry was able to assess the problem the first day we met. He said that there was nothing structurally wrong, so I did not need surgery. I had lost mobility and strength in my left shoulder, which was significantly worse than my right. After a few months of therapy; massage, stretching, and strength training, my shoulder is nearly 100% recovered. It’s amazing to be able to be able to workout again without any pain or discomfort. I strongly recommend Dr. Larry Frank Jr”
