Star Regional rehabilitation is a well kept secret. They shined! Their normal services , treatment and patient care are well above other rehabilitation centers. We did not know what to expect and were more than pleasantly surprised. If you have family member, or a loved one who needs care. This is the place. Shelby Wilson cut through all the red tape and got us in. Lisa Hamilton got my step brother back on his feet and functional again. All of the staff were exceptional. . Highly recommended!

I would love to express how wonderful the staff and office personnel were to me in a time of my life I could not care for myself. Excellent rehab staff that were exceptional and genuinely caring for patients. Dr. Olsen was and continues to be the best Dr. I have ever known. A Christian caring Dr. that prayed with me and used his vast knowledge in healing certainly changed my life . I came in on a stretcher and walked out on my own….by the grace of God I was directed to the right facility with highly skilled personnel,From the director to the maintenance dept. Many thanks to each and every person who passed thru my life in my darkest hours! The Sun shines brighter in my life now because of you! FIVE STARS FOR STARR REHABILITATION!
