What is Direct Access?

Direct access allows you to see a physical therapist first, without a physician’s referral, saving unnecessary copays. Quicker access to care means a quicker recovery!

"I chose Hartz Physical Therapy because of its convenient location, but I have been very pleased with the quality of their treatment and their professionalism. Having had physical therapy at other venues previously, I am impressed by how personable the entire Hartz staff is to their clients. I have received phenomenal care through three rounds of physical therapy at HARTZ PT."

Phyllis, Lancaster West Office Patient

"The staff is amazing! They are not just a team of therapists but also people who want to see their patients healthy and doing the things they love. Also, they are passionate about every patient’s recovery goals and will do the best to reach the goal. They took time to get to know me, my hobbies, my questions. I learned a lot from my time there."

Angel, Lancaster East Office Patient

"The Ephrata office was AWESOME! This is the first time I have ever had to go to physical therapy. I was quite nervous. However, the staff at the Ephrata office was welcoming, informative and, by the time I was finished, family."

Angela G., Ephrata Office Patient

"I was at other PT facilities (four!). Simply not comparable to Hartz, where the team that feels like family and I get full attention to my individual needs with the programs tailored to me and my specific needs. To Brian Hartz – Great Leadership!"

Dan, Lititz Office Patient

HARTZ PT Mount Joy is the place to receive the best care and therapy. Early in my post-surgery recovery, it became apparent that I was developing a staph infection through nobody's fault. My therapy team identified it early and informed my surgical team so they could treat it. I returned to therapy and in a few more weeks was able to return to normal routines. I'm grateful for the care I received from the Mount Joy team.

Henry R., Mount Joy Office Patient
