Client Testimonials

"At MMI, a division of the Centers for Advanced Orthopedics, we continually seek to improve outcomes and accessibility for our patients. Once we defined our need for a new state-of-the-art sports medicine rehabilitation facility, Ausherman's property at 161 Thomas Johnson Drive was a perfect fit. We collaborated on a 12,000 square foot new construction build out complete with indoor turf, audio/visual capabilities and an open, modern design plan. The Ausherman Team smoothly facilitated the construction process, kept communication open and timely, and has provided excellent tenant support since we took occupancy."
