Patient Reviews
Rated 5.0 stars on Google from 36+ patient reviews.
“I came here to address back and hip pain from spending long hours at a desk. Tanya and her team have been incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me feel better. The level of care and professionalism is outstanding, and I can’t recommend this place highly enough.”
“I was referred to Dickson Physical Therapy by my surgeon, and I’m so glad he did! I felt truly cared-for by Tanya and Tessa (and Gretchen and everyone else there!) It felt like a family, even the other patients! I looked forward to every appointment.”
“Dr. Dickson is the best physical therapist I have worked with in a very long time. I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and at ease with Tanya’s warm and caring attitude. Her staff are the same, joyful attitudes all around! Dr. Dickson took the time to thoroughly examine me, explain my condition and treatment plan. She made a point of asking me my goals and concerns and even ensured I understood the deeper reason why my injury may be reoccurring and ways in which I can overcome it, which made me feel informed and empowered. My past experiences with physical therapist have been ok but I seem to always hit a wall and never progressed past my injury in order to return to activities that I like to do (running, volleyball, etc). With Tanya, I’ve noticed significant improvements in my mobility, reduced pain levels and have been progressing towards my ultimate activity goals like running. Her dry needle therapy was an additional treatment that helps tremendously. Her ability to customize my treatment plan to address my specific needs has been invaluable. Dr. Dickson explains all options of treatment and allows me to choose what is best for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Tanya Dickson to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate physical therapist.”
“Tanya and her team have helped my back pain go from constant/severe to almost completely gone. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a PT office.”
“We had a wonderful experience at Dickson Physical Therapy! My 10 year old daughter was seen for some foot problems she was having. It was easy to make an appointment and get in. Every staff member we met was amazing! The office was clean and organized. They made it fun for my daughter and explained what they were doing and why. She was very sad when she was released and still asks to go back even though she isn’t having problems.”
“You are really listened to here. Customized plan, not just another patient. “We work for the patient, not the insurance company,” and they mean it.”

FAQ
Maryland allows patients to see a physical therapist directly, without a referral. Some insurance plans (and Medicare) have their own referral or plan-of-care requirements, so give us a call and we’ll help you check your coverage.
We’re contracted with most major insurance plans, including Medicare, Maryland Medicaid, CareFirst, Cigna, TRICARE, VA Community Care, and workers’ compensation. See our Participating Insurances page for the full list.
Your first visit is a thorough evaluation with a physical therapist. We’ll talk through your history and goals, assess how you move, explain what we find in plain language, and start treatment the same day whenever possible.
We have two clinics on Tilghman Road in Salisbury: 329 Tilghman Rd STE 200, Salisbury, MD 21804 and 321 Tilghman Rd STE 201, Salisbury, MD 21804. See our Locations page for hours, phone numbers, and directions.
Hours vary by location. We’re open Monday through Friday with early morning and evening appointments available. Visit our Locations page for each clinic’s hours.
Call either of our Salisbury locations or request an appointment online. We’ll help you check your insurance and find a time that works.
