Tribute to great service providers

October 19, 2016 by Guest Post

With this letter I want to pay tribute to Pete Dunn, DPT, OTR/L, the manager of Marcus Daly Rehabilitation Services, a fine facility.
And, as well, to all the staff there, to include all the physical therapy service worthy of that name. This includes all the great staff, each and every one, who serve at these great services those of us who are fortunate to live here in the valley.
I must say that Pete and all of his staff operate the facilities with many well-trained and professional physical thereapists. Since my stroke of early November 2013, I have been privileged to use their services, including those of Jennifer, the speech therapist, plus Tim Redfern, who offers me a lot of encouragement to continue my determination to get well, as well as Bill who specializes in hand recovery and ability, his chosen path of study. My physical therapists makes me work hard, with their diligence and exercises to be done at home in order to help me persevere at helping myself get better with time, in a profound professional manner.
You know, Pete Dunn that you are responsible for the excellent care and guidance that your well-trained staff do give to all of us clientele.
I feel lucky to be as well as I am, which I believe is solely due to your rehabilitation service with their kind and continued support, and I must say that after more than three years of services, all has been paid for by this great state of Montana and I am currently still using your services and remain very grateful indeed.
I for one feel very strongly that your staff has kept up an attitude of complete support, to never give up, with compliments as well!
This includes the two very kind and patient receptionists, Ashley and Marta.
When people talk of Montana as the “Treasure State,” they most often talk about the incredible natural beauty of the mountains, rivers and wildlife that feeds our souls.
However, there is one local treasure not oft thought of. That is Marcus Daly Rehabilitation Services, which helps us to gain our own treasured health.
Many thanks to Pete Dunn and my other friends there. For you have given me back my most valued things, my health and my independence. A great big thank you for all you do for us and for just being you!
