WELCOME TO GREENLAKE SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY

 

 

 

Dear Patients and Friends of Greenlake Sports Physical Therapy,

 

For over 23 years, Greenlake Sports Physical Therapy (GSPT) has provided physical therapy services with an emphasis on patient care, patient education, and treating staff fairly. These values, and your support, have allowed me to build and sustain the clinic.  I am forever grateful for the trust that you have shown in our collective abilities to positively impact your health and wellbeing.

 

Some of you know that I have been planning on fully retiring in the next year or so. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find another physical therapist to take an ownership role in the clinic, and the clinic has recently encountered significant staffing issues. As a result, the clinic cannot adequately or effectively serve our current patient load. Therefore, the GSPT clinic will close on March 27, 2024. After this date, GSPT will not register any new patients or provide services to returning patients who are not currently active in a treatment protocol.

 

If you are currently active in a treatment protocol, Rachel Sannicandro, PT DPT, Amanda Schulte, PT Aide (and soon to be physical therapy student), and I will work together until April 30, 2024, to ensure you are able to complete your treatment protocol or are referred to another therapist outside of the clinic who can assist with your protocol. Each patient who is currently in a treatment protocol will be notified individually by GSPT, and we will work with your schedules and available staffing to help ensure your continuity of care.

 

We encourage all patients who need physical therapy services to receive care at another clinic.  Please feel free to contact us at 206-524-5115 or office@greenlakesportspt.com so that we can provide you with referrals to other clinicians. It is possible that another physical therapy clinic will take over our current Green Lake space after we close. Therefore, you may be able to continue receiving PT services from a different clinic in this location.

 

We are developing a long-term plan for the custodianship of your medical records created by GSPT, and we will provide you with additional information as soon as possible.  For now, GSPT will continue to serve as the custodian of your medical records. Please contact the clinic if you would like us to disclose a copy of your medical records to another provider.

 

I and the other providers at GSPT have been privileged to be your physical therapists.  Some of you have been with me since I first moved from Pennsylvania to Seattle in 1989. Others followed me to the first, very small GSPT on Woodlawn and then around the corner to our current, more spacious location.  Regardless, you have enriched my life and made me a better physical therapist along the way. Thank you for sharing your love for your family, your sport, and your pets with me during our time together.

 

One last note; Peggy, the person that has been by my side since my Ballard Sports Medicine days and helped me every step of the way to build this practice, will get to spend more time with me – and our grandsons.  I am a grateful man. 

 

Bart
