Had the best time ever getting lymphatic work done with Rochelle. She is very intuitive and careful with injuries, surgeries, etc. It was very obvious early on that she cares a lot about what you are going through and I felt that I had complete trust in her. Recovery was sped up under her care. I feel that if I had seen someone else that my recovery would have taken a lot longer. She also completely prevented any kind of complications carried over from previous injuries from manifesting into anything worse. Really great with reducing scarring and preventing infection. I think she’s gotta be the best of the best.

Rochelle listens to your concerns and is knowledgeable and professional as an expert in her field. She took time to educate me with home exercises/massages and even helped me with other conditions that I have! She’s a kind, caring as well as an expert in her field.

In May of this year I finally scheduled knee replacement surgery after more than 2 years of pain and discomfort. Because I had the added issue of Lymphedema from a surgery 20 plus years ago, I was hesitant to commit. I had managed it for all that time but was concerned about what the surgery might exacerbate.
An acquaintance of mine referred Rochelle to me because she had a good experience with her treatment for lymphedema. I reached out and found a person who is compassionate, highly skilled and empathetic.
I met with her prior to the surgery and can honestly say that her care and support have made the replacement surgery a success that I would not have experienced without her. She listened and applied her expertise to alleviate the side effects of the swelling related to the surgery.
She continues to support me in my recovery in every way.
I feel so lucky to have found her. THANK YOU Rochelle!

I had no idea that lymphedema would be an issue following cancer surgery. I healed quickly from the surgery at the cancer site but the lasting pain and difficulty from the leg swelling and the additional surgical site for lymph removal were an unappreciated and unexpected complication! I saw two lymphedema therapists before I got a physician referral to West .Cliff. What a positive difference in attention, caring, thoroughness, and success that Rochelle brought to my healing adventure. I’m so grateful for her!

A good therapist is hard to find, and a great therapist is a godsend!
Rochelle is my godsend! She has helped me in ways no other therapists even considered.

Rochelle is gifted! She is so well informed on treatments, up to date with current research, and constantly seeking new research in order to provide that healing touch to her clients.

She not only dealt with the nerve pain post knee replacement, but she also treated other related issues that are associated with the discomfort, that no other therapist has even acknowledged.

Pain is so subjective but affirmed by Rochelle, whose knowledge and training is incredibly above the standard of others, it gave me a sense of relief in just being affirmed. "Yes, your pain is real. This is why you are suffering." Wow! She sees it! Incredibly encouraging! And she know what to do!

Yes, Rochelle is a therapist in an elite level of practitioners. No doubt about that. But also, her clinic is so welcoming and comfortable. Not the sterile impersonal office space to get a client in and out rapidly. It's warm and cozy!

There is no other therapist I know of who can provide you with the most knowledgeable, up to date, and compassionate treatment as Rochelle.

She is gifted, caring and excellent!

Rochelle has such an incredible and unique skill set with her background in lymphatic drainage and pelvic health. She put so much time and careful consideration into our treatment sessions, and ultimately delivered excellent care and results. Thank you so much Rochelle!

Rochelle is a bright spot in the cancer journey!

Her empathy, and patience to explain what she was doing and why were so appreciated. Rochelle was able to give me "tools" to help in recovery from surgery and radiation, that I continue to use today, one year post chemotherapy, surgery and radiation.

Having a therapist close to home that was certified in oncology and lymphedema therapy were priceless!

I highly recommend Rochelle, when you need Oncologic or Lymphedema Physical Therapy.
