Leon Wolff is an absolutely outstanding Physical Therapist and I am writing this testimonial because I was so fortunate to have Leon provide me with the best care for my severely injured left thumb.  Thanks in great part to Leon’s expertise, I have recovered with full function of my left thumb.  I severely injured my left thumb in a skiing accident, completely rupturing the ulnar collateral ligament and also sustaining a chip fracture of my thumb.  I was determined not to have to go to surgery and Leon’s skill, knowledge and competence with Physical Therapy helped me recover without the need for surgery.  At my first meeting with Leon, he carefully created the precise brace I needed to immobilize and support my thumb and give the ligament time to heal.  As my recovery progressed, he helped me with the appropriate exercises and care for my thumb.  Leon is the ultimate professional while also being kind and compassionate.  I was so upset about the injury, and he was supportive and helped me realize that I would get through this.  I was also fortunate to have an outstanding orthopedic surgeon who specializes in care for the hand on my case.  When she recommended Physical Therapy for me, I asked her for her recommendation for a physical therapist.  Without hesitation she recommended Leon as her absolute first choice for hand Physical Therapy.  Leon not only gave me outstanding care, but he was also always accessible if I had questions or needed something in-between visits.  I am writing this testimonial because I was so impressed with Leon’s fantastic and personalized care.  Leon’s knowledge, competence, professionalism, compassion and kindness are unparalleled and I am forever thankful for the care he gave to me.  Leon is truly the best!

As a hand surgeon in the Ithaca area I had the privilege of working closely with Leon. He was knowledgeable, professional, and caring. He worked as a teammate in the care of patients working to identify and solve difficult problems. I knew patients were receiving great care when they were with him.
