“Broken ankle rehab. Nothing but the best of care. All staff have been positive and very likeable. Extremely clean facility. Food has been nothing but spectacular. Physical therapy is top rate and thorough. A relative came and on the spot would choose PCCC if needed. I highly recommend to one and all.”
