Center for Orthopedic Rehabilitation Excellence

Meet Our Team

We have 4 highly skilled Physical Therapists,

and you will always see the same one.

about us

  • We are independently owned by three of the PTs who work here!

  • Originally founded in 2002 by Karl Glick as Physical Therapy Services at Cypress. We moved to our new location when Karl retired in May 2017. We are forever grateful for his mentorship and generosity.

  • We are proud to be a small operation and have no plans or desires to expand — we love what we do, and that’s our primary focus!
