Our Approach
Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals, LLC, based in Dallas, Texas, is a multispecialty acute care physical rehabilitation hospital company focused on providing the highest quality physical rehabilitation care.
The main focus of our approach is the patient and their family. We guide patients through the necessary steps to reclaim daily life, recover function, and return to an optimal quality of life. We do this by combining the latest treatments, technologies, and research with a unique interdisciplinary team approach involving the patient and family from day one.
The complete team of rehabilitation professionals, including the physiatrist (rehabilitation physician), work hand in hand with the patient and family to achieve the goals identified at admission and in each step of the rehabilitation process. Our care is focused on helping our patients reclaim and recover hope enabling them to do the activities they want to do. We achieve this by identifying patients’ wants and needs and by reviewing goals every day to ensure that we remove obstacles and progress towards restoring function.
Everest is passionate about patient care; striving to create healing and nurturing environments for all patients that not only meet their medical needs but address their emotional and social needs as well.
