Colin McReavy, PT is the best that Northwestern's physical therapy has to offer. He has the knowledge, skills and abilities to treat patients with progressive osteoarthritis, and he does not discriminate because of age. I am a senior citizen, and have found that other facilities will write me off because of age or because of my progressive osteoarthritis.. Colin McReavy seems willing to work with me, and he gave me hope, and something to look forward to. No one wants to feel that it is all over..
