    Nicole Barish is a superstar. She literally turned my healing process after thumb CMC arthroplasty around. I saw another hand therapist previously who was worthless. Nicole listened to me and was empathetic. She is highly skilled. She has been invaluable to me during a tough surgical recovery.

    Genuinely a joy to chat with, she made the appointment a breaze and comfortable. Really cared strongly that I wasn't being hurt by PT exercises and answered my related (posture at work, exercise stuff) but not always PT questions.

    The only problem was that she was going to send stuff in mychart and I didn't get it. Though it might be in the after visit summary, it just occurred to me. I will check.

    Nicole had reviewed my chart, listened carefully to my concerns and was able to create a care plan with me efficiently and thoughtfully. She demonstrated warmth and humor and a fine depth of knowledge. I couldn't be happier with my visit.

  • About Nicole Barish, OTR/L

    My practice focuses on care after surgery, managing overuse disorders, treating neuropathy and fractures, and creating orthotics. I was inspired to go into health care because I enjoy helping others.

    Philosophy of care

    I take a holistic approach to care by looking at all aspects of a patient's life and how that relates to their current condition.
