Meet Our Team

Hello, my name is Jeff Ott, I am the owner and licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy at JOTT Physical Therapy. Please, just call me Jeff! I am a Southwest Michigan native, as I was born and raised in Stevensville, Michigan. I lived out of the area for several years, and upon returning to my home town, I knew I had to open JOTT Physical Therapy, as I observed and experienced the inconsistent and poor quality of physical therapy being offered in the community. ​​​
