On the Cover: Catching up with BenchMark Physical Therapy

By Kristen Eleveld

BenchMark is a name that many of Gwinnett’s residents know, thanks to their commitment to excellence and to their highly qualified team of therapists and specialists that helps people through a variety of injuries and other needs. All of the BenchMark offices promise to go above and beyond, but the Grayson location is one you will want to keep up with as they lead the charge in innovation and customer service.

“Everyone here is a team player,” said DPT Michelle Huggins, who serves as the site director for the Grayson location along with three other locations in Snellville, Lawrenceville, and Buford. “We all work together to use everyone’s best skill set for the good of the patient.”

As clinic director for Grayson and multi-site director for the other locations she serves, Michelle has led her incredible team as they work to provide much needed physical therapy services to the Grayson area and its neighboring communities. Within the last six months, BenchMark’s parent company, Upstream Rehabilitation, has partnered with an organization that brings physical therapists in from around the world to BenchMark clinics. The Grayson site is proud to employ one of these international therapists, with two others joining the other sites, as they work together to learn new treatment methods and provide even better customer service for those patients who may not speak English as a first language.
