What a great team of physical therapists! They helped me better understand my own shoulder and how to actually take care of it. Every exercise was to the betterment of my shoulder. As a Volleyball player I recommend anyone with shoulder issues to check this the team out! Shout out to Jan, She is a rock star!

Ryan and all the staff at Madden & Gilbert in Hershey are extremely knowledgeable and professional, easy to work with and motivational. I started with numbness and extreme lower back pain and as someone who's been in PT before, this is the quickest I've ever felt better and stronger. I will absolutely come back in the future if needed and would refer anyone to them. Thank you, Ryan!

My experience has been exceptional. Carol Weber is an exceptional provider. She is caring, compassionate and provides an exceptional patient experience. Prior to coming to Madden and Gilbert I had limited range of motion, flexibility and strength in my shoulders. Through the exceptional individualized care provided by Carol I have seen significant improvement in my flexibility, strength and posture. My thanks to Carol and the team. The caring and supportive atmosphere is appreciated.

The staff at Madden and Gilbert are wonderful and very friendly. PT is not my favorite activity but Katelyn made it enjoyable. I was also able to purchase a laser therapy package which helped dramatically with my healing. I would definitely choose this place again.

I had a wonderful experience at Madden and Gilbert Physical Therapy Hershey. Katelyn Alexander was my therapist. I have nothing but respect and praise for her work. I was unable to pivot on my left leg or walk a mile without pain in my leg and hip. The exercises she gave me helped with both. My suggestion to all who seek physical therapy is to listen to you therapist and carry through with your exercises. Thank you Katelyn.

It is a pleasure to write this 5-star review for Ryan Showalter, DPT, COMT, Doctor of Physical Therapy at Madden & Gilbert Physical Therapy - Hershey, PA! Ryan is a true healer! Not only is he excellent in his skill, but his “bedside manner” is comforting and professional. He has given me the strength and confidence to move forward on my journey of healing and has encouraged me to continue striving to achieve better overall wellness. He’s knowledgeable and dedicated and he truly shows how much he cares about his patients. I have my own mini catalogue that he gave me, showing all the exercises I do in the therapy room, some with Ryan’s personal hand drawings so that I get them right when I do them at home. Ryan is a kind soul who brings his gentleness and desire to help others into the workplace! It has been wonderful working with him! I have also enjoyed getting to know him. He’s definitely one of a kind! The clinic is clean and bright and offers a plethora of supportive tools to help with healing…stretch bands, all size rubber balls, weights, exercise machines, ropes, comfy therapy tables, etc., and they have a laser room on site which has been an added bonus, which I highly recommend it for advanced healing. If are looking for quality physical therapy, I recommend Madden & Gilbert Physicsl Therapy, Hershey, PA!!

I was able to eliminate the tingling in the area I had. Given several exercises to do at home in which I am doing daily all is well.

I was referred this time to Madden & Gilbert Hershey by my PCP & my orthopedic MD for knee pain. Previously, I had been to Madden & Gilbert Hershey for balance and strength issues in my legs. I can't say enough positive things about my treatment @ Madden & Glibert Hershey. Each time, I made remarkable progress which enabled me as a 76 y/o to maintain independence/functioning. Both times, I worked with Adam Kimball, PT. Adam was knowledgeable, patient, courteous, and always open to my feedback/concerns. He explained the exercises clearly & answered any questions I had. I made remarkable recovery with significantly decreased pain in my knees & increased strength in my legs. Through emails, Jan maintained ongoing contact with me on my progress for which I was grateful. Deb @ the front desk was always friendly, warm, and flexible with scheduling if I had a conflict. The entire staff @ this facility was welcoming and kind. If you need physical therapy, Madden & Gilbert Hershey is a great place to go.

I feel so much better! I am so grateful for Jan’s knowledge and caring nature. I would definitely recommend Madden and Gilbert to anyone dealing with chronic pain.
Nicole Machinga from Hershey
I came to Jan with severe lower back pain. She quickly identified the source of the problem and gave me targeted exercises to strengthen and stabilize the area. Thanks to her guidance, I’m back at the gym doing regular workouts again. She even helped me fine-tune my form to prevent future issues. I’m feeling so much better now!
Sara Smith from Hershey
I pulled my hamstring playing volleyball. It is just a community league, but I was concerned about a lengthy recovery (not as young and spry as I once was ;)). Dr. Jan gave me a set of exercises which helped me recover about 60% mobility and strength in about a week. The big game changer was the laser therapy... after applying that for several days in a row (only takes a few minutes each time), the pain was gone and the mobility and strength of my hamstring was restored. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised with both the rate and extent of recovery. Jan also provided some dynamic stretches to do prior to playing to avoid injury in the future. Thank you, Madden and Gilbert, Hershey for wonderful care!
Craig I. from Hershey
Outstanding progress and improvement from the get-go! Our main goal was an improvement in balance and vertigo to allow me to return to at least some level of normal daily activities. The truth is, we have well exceeded that goal… And are fully functional in all aspects of daily living… Social interaction, activities, physical, work, hobbies. Outstanding outcome, with great thanks to the team here! Carole and Debi really helped guide the progress… Between flexible, scheduling and research based treatment.
Michael Rivkin from Hershey
I was referred to Ryan at Madden & Gilbert through a free assessment at Fleet Feet. I had severe pain in my left foot, which was diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. After several weeks of PT, my foot pain has completely disappeared. I also was experiencing a lot of pain in my right knee. Ryan has also helped my knee to improve greatly. I really felt that Ryan listened to me. If any of the exercises hurt, he had me stop and he recommended a different exercise. He and all of the staff are very nice and made PT fun, if that's possible! Ryan was my assigned therapist, but from what I saw, would also recommend treatment with any of the other therapists there. I hope I don't have to go back, but if I do have pain again, I will 100% return. Thanks!

When I first went to Madden I had constant pain. Within weeks the pain was gone. Went to other Therapists in the area but none are as good. I highly appreciate them. Recommend 100% !
Christine Candori from Hershey
