Dr. Rukaiya Baker was my dad’s third and best Physical Therapist. Rukaiya was motiving and her enthusiasm and therapeutic creativity (balloon tosses🎈, bowling🎳, stairs, walking/kicking⚽️) were a blessing to my dad. Rukaiya explained the science behind her strategies and that was very much appreciated.

Rukaiya was sensitive to my dad’s needs and condition and she met him in the ebbs and flows on given day. My dad was fully engaged and participated in every session as Rukaiya developed his physical strength and cognitive acuity.

Dr. Rukaiya Baker is an extremely knowledgeable, effective and creative physical therapist. I feel so fortunate that my 86-year old mother is working with her! Dr. Baker skillfully assesses my mother’s physical and cognitive ups and downs, and supports her through frustrating setbacks to steadily increase muscle strength, gait steadiness, and movement safety.

My introverted mother looks forward to her sessions with Dr. Baker because she feels empowered by the work and by Dr. Baker’s encouragement. My mother is always happy to let her other medical appointments go, but she never wants to miss her physical therapy with Dr. Baker.

Dr. Rukaiya Baker is the best! Our family finds such comfort in my dad working with Rukaiya in the LSVT Big Program. Dr. Rukaiya Baker’s patience, enthusiam, warm personality and gentle approach are key to my dad’s success over the past year. As a patient with Parkinson’s disease, my dad experiences unpredictable good and bad days from week to week. Rukaiya always maintains a patient enviornment and fantastic patient rapport in order to have a successful session. We are forever grateful for Rukaiya’s hard work, which helps to enhance my dad’s physical, mental and emotional abilities.

Rukaiya is an intelligent, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable physical therapist. She can quickly assess what a patient can and can not (yet) do and provides the exercises to improve in all areas of movement, balance and strength. She understands the needs of a patient beyond just the physical and also provides the emotional understanding to those who are struggling with physical movement. She has been a great help in getting my mother stronger and steadier and more mobile after complicated hip surgery. She is a real “mensch”. Thank you Rukaiya.

Dr Rukaiya Baker is simply amazing- professional, knowledgeable, personable and effective! She brought my 87 year old father to an improved level of functioning and walking in a short time. This was all done in his home! The effects were measurable and noticeable and made his daily interactions so much easier. She worked closely with him on leg exercises and walking and gave me detailed insight into his issues and possible solutions for better functioning in the future. Dr Rukaiya Baker is a pleasure to work with (I’m the 60 year old daughter looking for solutions for my dad) and really made a difference in his walking. If you are looking for an in-home solution for your parents’ physical therapy needs- I highly recommend her!
