Who We Are

MedCenter Rehab is a team of 15 dedicated health care professionals with a rich history of providing unprecedented services to the greater San Antonio area since 1990.  Our facility offers a distinct list of services that complement each other by providing some of the most unique rehabilitation programs in the country.  We feel our group offers and delivers an exceptional rehabilitation and recovery experience.

Our Philosophy

MedCenter Rehab’s foremost priority has always been centered in placing each individual patient first. 

Our friendly staff will always provide the greatest personalized care available while making you feel comfortable and special.  Our unique services will assist and facilitate your road to restoration, recovery, and return to full function as best possible.  Whether you are recovering from surgery, returning to competitive sports, or requiring functional restoration following serious injury, we will provide you  with the means and motivation to do it.  The unprecedented services we provide are what we enjoy and are  what we do very well.     

What Makes Us Unique

Unique to MedCenter Rehab are the rehabilitation solutions for individuals who have more to recover than just physical deficits.

When traditional physical therapies fail, utilizing a functional restoration approach is the next best evidence-based option.  In additional to the requisite physical aspects of rehab, incorporating the mental, psychological, behavioral, and motivational issues of the restorative sciences have proven to be the clinical approach that has been missing.  We all are compositely mind, body, and persona.  Any of these parameters can be unfavorably affected by injury, trauma, loss, or limitation of life functions.  Poor response or outcome to routine medical care or routine medical procedures, slow recovery time, sub-optimal outcomes, or onset of chronic pain place special challenges to a full, robust recovery.  In such cases, a more comprehensive therapeutic approach is required to manifest a successful process toward optimal recovery.  For the specially challenged case, where rehabilitation success has been frustrated, unattainable or lost, special multidisciplinary programs have proven successful according to the best research available.

Our Therapists

Dr. Evans

 

Richard “Ric” Evans is President and founder of MedCenter Rehab which initially opened in 1990 as Medical Center Physical Therapy. Ric began his career in the US Army in 1982 as a Physical Therapist earning a Master-Degree in PT (right here) at Fort Sam while attaining the rank of Captain. Exiting the military in 1986, Ric started his own independent practice in 1990 in San Antonio. After expanding clinical services on a variety of fronts over the next 20 years; it was felt that adding “Rehab” to our name would help the public recognize we provided more than Physical Therapy. Ric obtained his Doctoral Degree in 2008 along with his Board Certification in Orthopedics. He is credentialed in Functional Capacity Evaluations and Ergonomics and has clinical specialties in multidisciplinary rehab (Work Hardening and Chronic Pain, and Functional Restoration). These rehab services received the much-coveted distinction as being CARF accredited in 2013, a two-year process.
