Danielle is the best! As a runner she was able to pinpoint and diagnose my injuries correctly after I had been repeatedly misdiagnosed by other PT’s and even orthopedic doctors. The exercises she prescribed dealt with my issue head on and had me back stronger than I had been before, so thankful for her knowledge and expertise!

I’m a 25-year LE veteran. Towards the end of my career I encountered several injuries a couple of which needed significant surgeries to correct. I spoke to several co-workers who spoke highly of Danielle and Ascent PT. I have seen many PT’s in my career, most of which were fairly useless. Immediately upon working with Danielle I was amazed at her overall knowledge, ability, and work ethic. Danielle helped me through the recovery and rehabilitation from two major surgeries over a couple of years. I thought I knew how to workout and train. I’ve learned so much from her regarding the importance of mobility, flexibility, and strength training. I’m in my 50’s now and am in better shape and am pain free thanks to Danielle. I am extremely grateful for Danielle and consistently recommend her to other family members and co-workers who are working through injuries and pain.

I first started working with Danielle after I tore my ACL. Danielle worked with me to make my knee strong enough for surgery. After my surgery was completed, I spent many months working with Danielle. I faced many challenges throughout my recovery.There were points, where my swelling was very significant I thought I would need an additional surgery to remove scar tissue. Danielle worked with me each week, specializing my needs to fit my progress and my specific situation. She helped me get back to my pre injury activities. I now feel confident hiking, running, and lifting weights again. She is always available to answer any hesitations and will adjust your program as needed. This is the first time where I felt like I can trust a medical professional. I didn’t feel like a number or just another client. Danielle made me feel heard. No one tells you how difficult recovery is going to be so please choose a therapist that will spends weeks, months, and even years working with you. Surgery is just step one. Recovery is crucial.

I have a very physical job and I'm an avid trail runner, so occasional injuries come with the territory. Danielle has been incredible every time—helping me recover faster so I can get back to doing what I love. She always fits me into her schedule quickly when I get banged up. Her deep knowledge of athletes and sports injuries is obvious from the first session, and her facility is well-equipped with everything needed for effective treatment. I've recommended her to all my running buddies, and they rave about her too! Recently, I saw her for proactive strength training to help prevent future issues. She sent me home with a clear, detailed plan that's tailored to my running and lifestyle—I'm genuinely excited to follow it and stay stronger on the trails. Thank you, Danielle, for the outstanding care—both reactive and preventive. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Ascent Orthopedic Physical Therapy! Danielle is truly one of the most knowledgeable, dedicated, and empowering professionals I’ve ever worked with. After tearing my ACL and meniscus, I was nervous about recovery—but Danielle guided me every step of the way and helped me recover faster than I ever expected. What sets her apart is not just her expertise, but how much she genuinely cares. She didn’t just focus on getting me “back to normal”—she educated me on how to take care of my body long-term, build lasting strength, and protect my health for the rest of my life. I feel stronger, more confident, and more informed because of her. If you’re looking for a physical therapy team that truly goes above and beyond, Ascent is it. I recommend them to everyone and will absolutely be screaming it from the rooftops!

After tearing my shoulder labrum and bicep tendon, I was facing a long and uncertain recovery. Dr. Cooper's professionalism, experience, and dedication go above and beyond anything I’ve experienced with other physical therapists. From day one, her attention to detail was exceptional. She never overlooked patterns and consistently focused on proper movement, posture, and positioning all with an explanation. Dr. Cooper tailored my recovery plan with weekly updates and exercises that matched my progress. No week was stagnant and she constantly reassessed, measured and adjusted my program based on my current abilities. Her prescribed "homework" made the a true impact in how I felt. I was originally told it would take six to eight months to fully recover. Under Dr. Cooper’s care, I reached better range of motion and control than I ever expected in five months. I’m now back to full duty, and I have no doubt that it’s thanks to her expertise and support. There are many physical therapists out there, but choosing Dr. Cooper is one of the best decisions you can make for your recovery and overall health. If you're serious about returning to work, sports, or daily life stronger than before, schedule an appointment—you won’t regret it.
