I did have a beginner PT person one time {he was reading out of a book for what to do!!}after 3 visits the dr decided, with my input, that i was not feeling any better with that person and changed PT places to a more advanced group.

In all I ended up going to 4 PT places and having 6 different PTs.
One place was my own independent evaluation choice- I only needed to go 1 time to him.

If you can you might do some calling or searching around your area for really good PT clinics.
even stop in if you can and talk with the staff- I was amazed at how helpful many places are - as long as they aren't really busy at the time.
or write a note asking for help and referrals and put your phone # on it and drop off copies at the front desks?

If you get some names and maybe drs names too - you'll have some to suggest to your dr.
