The HOPE Doctors Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

I came to the Hope Doctors over 2.5 years after having my baby. I had some issues I had just accepted as being my new normal after trying to solve them on my own, and I had given up that they would be fixed. At my very first appointment, Dr. Kaylee made me feel seen and heard - this is such a safe space!! After working with Dr. Kaylee for only 2 months, I notified a significant improvement with my chief complaint. I loved that she also noticed other strength/mobility problems that were unrelated to postpartum issues, and has been working with me just as hard on those for a whole-body wellness plan. I am now pregnant again and feel that I am in the absolute best hands possible to make my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience a positive one. Cannot recommend this place enough!

So I always thought Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy was only for mommas after giving birth, but I kept seeing more and more on the HOPE Doctors social page not related to giving birth and thought maybe this was something that could help. I’ve suffered from chronic low back pain for as long as I can remember. I’ve tried lots of different things but I’ve never tried Pelvic Floor Therapy. So I called and made an appointment, and within a few days Dr. Kaylee came to my house for my initial visit and talk about a treatment plan for the next few months.
So far I am seeing a huge difference and I truly believe The HOPE Doctors will be able get rid of my lifelong back pain! Thank you Dr. Kaylee Simmerman!

I highly recommend Dr. Kaylee and the Hope Doctors. I've never had a provider like Dr. Kaylee before. She takes a holistic approach to care - treating the entire patient, not just the problem. I instantly connected with her and immediately felt seen and understood. She takes the time to learn all about you and connect the dots between the experiences you've had and the problems you're dealing with now and can design a treatment plan to heal and strengthen your body. She and her other clinicians are great at demonstrating and teaching exercises in person, but their app is great too and has videos that explain every move and help you keep track of it. They will come to your home and do sessions in the privacy and comfort of your own home, which is so convenient. The Hope Doctors have a beautiful mission and I support them fully. There should be more post partum care like this for women!!

I highly recommend Dr.Kaylee and the Hope Docs!! Dr. Kaylee is helping me work through some hip and shoulder pain. I recently had a flare up, and she was able to get me in last minute for a session. It really helped with my pain level decreasing. Dr. Kaylee is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explain the treatment plan. The sessions are always comfortable and tailored to my specific needs. In addition, the staff at Hope Docs is friendly and accommodating. The clinic is clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant and professional environment. I am grateful for the exceptional care I have received from Dr. Kaylee and the entire team at Hope Docs. They have made a significant difference in my overall well-being.

Dr. Katie has been a miracle worker for me! I came to her with years of terrible on again off again back pain that I couldn't pinpoint. I was at a breaking point but didn't know where to start. An OT friend recommended pelvic floor therapy.
Dr. Katie was thorough, attentive, informative and kind. I instantly felt at ease. She developed a personalized exercise/ stretching plan and I have been pain free for 4 months and have noticed improvements in every aspect of my life. The HOPE Doctors and Dr. Katie are amazing and I can't thank them enough!

I cannot recommend Dr. Kate Smith enough! After working with Dr. Kate for the last several months, my pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms have been relieved, and I feel stronger and more confident in my movements as a mom. She is flexible with scheduling our appointments, and I always feel energized after leaving our sessions!

The HOPE doctors are my first experience with Pelvic Floor Therapy. I was recommended to use their services through my birth center as I'm pregnant and planning on an unmedicated birth. I've been impressed with them every step of the way. They've been thorough, informative, and hospitable in each interaction from consultation to a PT visit. Hospitable healthcare is extremely important to me and they've exceeded my expectations in this area. I've learned a ton about how to take better care of myself through pregnancy and know that I'll take this information into my life beyond birth. Thank you for helping me stay active, strong, and confident as I head into my due date this April!

I started to see Dr. Katie in my first trimester when my mild preexisting SI joint pain became unbearable and started interfering with daily life and activities. Not only has she been so thorough and uniquely tailored a plan for me, she recommended that I see a chiropractor so that we are treating my body as holistically as possible. After a few weeks of working with her and seeing chiro, my symptoms improved significantly and so did my mental health and happiness overall. I was finally able to enjoy my pregnancy and be out of unbearable pain. Working with this group is so convenient as they offer virtual sessions and are always available to answer questions via the app. I would highly recommend pelvic PT with this group to all pregnant women and especially those of you who are having pain. It is not normal to suffer through your pregnancy, you deserve relief and to feel your best self!

I have been working with Dr Kate Smith for the past few months and the exercises she has recommended have helped both my physical and emotional difficulties. Dr Smith immediately made me comfortable which enabled me to relax and discuss very difficult symptoms. I cannot recommend Hope Doctors enough. I feel stronger and more positive than I have for a number of years and I am so grateful to Dr Smith for her care. I now feel much more energized, and I have one thing I had long given up on having…hope! And for that I could not be more grateful.

I saw Dr. Kate about 9 weeks after I had my baby and after 3 appointments I felt drastically better. I am so happy that I went to Dr. Kate! My hips, back and abdominals were all in need of care. She created a very comfortable environment and I will absolutely be going back if I need follow up care or if I have another baby. It made the postpartum recovery process so much better and I know it’ll absolutely pay of in the long run.

I have had a great experience with The Hope Doctors so far. Dr Kaylee was great - thorough and made me feel very comfortable. The app has held me accountable to my at home program and i feel hopeful for the first time ever about resolving the issue that brought me in. Thank you!!

I went to Dr. Katie with some concerns of my pelvic floor and diastisis. Dr Katie did an exam and explained everything.
She is so wonderful and really helped me with my issues with just a few simple pelvic core/ floor exercises. She helped me with pain in my hips area, and gave me a few tips to do at home. By my second appointment all of my symptoms were basically gone.
Dr. Katie is very knowledgeable and so helpful.

Dr. Kate and the HOPE Docs team have been nothing short of life-changing. I went from not even knowing what pelvic floor PT was to making positive changes to my health, my comfort, my relationships, and my sense of self. My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner!

These ladies are pricey but they have an invaluable understanding of all things body and will help you understand exactly where your body is and prescribe detailed customized exercise solutions to help you and your body achieve all of your strength, comfort, and alignment goals. Not only that, they will expertly, lovingly, and professionally help you with any emotional ties to your pelvic floor issues that may arise (as they often do with our most vulnerable and sometimes painful and confusing body discomforts and challenges). With these skill sets combined the Hope doctors are unbeatable. And although it is indeed a bit of a financial investment costing (in my exerpeicne) $250/session, they are giving you so much of their time and expertise during each session and afterwards in customizing your workout plan and being available for communication ❤
Worth every penny!

Dr. Kate has been amazing through this journey as I entered into my second pregnancy with a weakened pelvic floor AND a hernia. Right off the bat she became a friend, I felt relaxed in her presence and felt so much trust and respect from her. She took my experiences seriously and listened to every story and concern. The exercises she gave me were perfect. I am feeling more and more confident as I approach my due date thanks to her. She is a professional doing incredible work and I have been recommending her to all my friends who are either in the middle of a pregnancy or have just given birth. Highly recommend! I am so happy I found someone who will also be with me through this next postpartum journey!

I am beyond grateful for Dr.Kate and The Hope Doctors! Dr. Kate took the time to call me to introduce herself and talk all things postpartum before meeting in person. I felt instantly connected to her! At my initial visit I knew this was the care my body needed after 5 years postpartum. Dr. Kate is incredibly kind and intelligent. Her treatment plan and physical exercises have strengthened my pelvic floor tremendously. I am physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger because of the personal care I have received through The Hope Doctors. Thank you, Dr. Kate- forever grateful for you!

Love it here! Pelvic floor therapy should be normal after giving birth.. & insurance should cover it. So crazy we are this behind in America but regardless, so happy I found this place! Absolutely worth it.

Kaylee is honest and knows her business. She wants nothing but the best for all of her patients, whether in a group clinic or a one-on-one setting. I met her in a clinic, but have been seeing her virtually since the birth of my son. She is every bit as good virtually as she is in person.

Making the decision to seek out pelvic floor therapy & going to the Hope Doctors was one of the best decisions I’ve made. After birthing a very large baby (9 lbs 4 oz!) I had a 2nd degree tear & stitches. As a result, sex (even at 6 months postpartum) was extremely painful. I went in for a consultation with Dr. Katie (who is so cool, wonderful, calm, & informative) - she evaluated my situation and prescribed at home exercises & stretches. After 1 visit + 3 weeks of diligently doing my home exercise plan, my pelvic floor felt stronger and healthier; plus sex is no longer painful! I couldn’t be happier with the level of care provided at Hope Doctors. Dr. Katie made me feel heard, empowered, comfortable, and I’m finally feeling like myself again in my new postpartum body. That, to me, is absolutely priceless. Thank you so much!!!

A nurse practitioner referred me to the Hope Doctors to address issues I was experiencing with my holistic health and enjoying intimacy. I was apprehensive. I’ve never been pregnant & couldn’t imagine I would need pelvic floor therapy. Dr Kate was professional, attentive, knowledgeable and was able to identify contributing issues in just one appointment, as well as create a plan to address them. I noticed improvement right away and continue to see additional improvements as I follow the plan Dr Kate created specifically for me. It is appropriate to call them The Hope Doctors! I could not have imagined there was help for my symptoms. The education, awareness and improved quality of life I’ve gained has been invaluable! ❤
