8 months ago, I visited Burger for back pain. After two months of treatment I felt better than ever. My back pain has yet to return. I had the same therapist every visit, I was never pressured to schedule more appointments than necessary, and I found it easy to schedule appointments. read more

Shelley is the best! Don't even get me started the PT's & PTA's, they are the best and really care about your health. I highly refer this place to all walks of life! P.S: My knee is feeling so much better. read more

Update to my initial review to add an extra star and comment on their scheduling. It was difficult to get weekly appointments but they put me on their cancellation list and I've received calls for available appointments for the former gaps in weekly treatments. In addition, the receptionist is very friendly and remembered my name from after my first appointment. It's very nice to be greeted by name as you walk through the door. She sees so many people that it's quite remarkable that she remembers everyone. My therapy is going pretty well. I had a setback a few days ago and Suzanne explained what probably happened and how to work through it. She relieved my fears and concerns. read more

Nothing but good things to say! Long overdue but I really appreciated the staff's attentiveness and care during my sessions. I've had appointments for two separate (unrelated) injuries and both of my physical therapists were stellar. My most recent sessions with Katherine were a wonderful experience and she paid close attention to my movement concerns and altered my exercises accordingly. Very happy to get back to full mobility without pain. Would recommend for both the service and kindness I was shown. read more

I cannot recommend them. To start with, you get a different therapist every time you come in so there is no continuity of care. Some therapists were good, but my most recent experience left me in severe pain which I had not experienced previously. I'm not paying them to make me worse. Secondly, the office is in complete disarray. Their systems are frequently down, they don't return calls, and they cannot manage the billing correctly. Utter incompetence. Avoid them at all costs. read more

Mine was an odd experience. All the therapists I interacted with seemed confident, competent and quite dedicated. But my personal experience was that I kept hurting myself when I did the exercises they prescribed. I complained and was told to just continue the prescribed exercises. Now, I AM an old guy but that didn't seem to register with them enough to tone back the exercise regimen. I am now seeing a private pay therapist and am getting the rehab I need without hurting myself. read more

BPT is one of the most friendly, supportive businesses I have ever dealt with. They provide knowledgeable physical therapists and accommodative scheduling as well as very specific, skilled guidance to ensure progress in a time of stress and anxiety. This is our third time dealing with BPT in the last 7 years; my wife and I will always appreciate their great group of physical therapists and all of their friendly, supportiv staff! read more

I retract my review, was not the front desk staff. Seems there was a miscommunication. Complement them for getting me out of there and giving me good treatment. Do wish it had been better communication. read more

Absolute joke. Appt was late in the afternoon. They called me 30min before my appt to cancel which i missed the call. I showed up to my appointment and they said that they were about to close and that they called me to cancel and that i should have answered my phone. I said what time did you call, and they kind of waived it off like its ok. well take you no worries. Like okay you going to talk down to me thats when i checked my phone to see the missed call an hr ago. But no worrries theyre willing to evaluate me. Guy had me walk on a tread mill for 20 min while they watched football on the other side of the room. Told guy it was my leg bothering me and instead of evaluating the leg he puts me ona table and pops my back doing all sorts of psudochiropractic nonsense without even asking about any injuries or tenderness i might be havinf. Says its my back and as i said not once evaluates my leg. Says i should go get an MRI. Yeah ok because doctors approve that super easily right. What a joke. Dont waste your time. read more

This is the second time I've been referred to Burger PT in Davis. The first time was a number of years ago for pain in my hand that was worsening considerably with all the writing I had to do at work. The occupational therapist for hands, Suzanne, was a really great help. Currently I'm seeing Neil for shoulder and back pain. He is an amazing physical therapist who has been incredibly helpful, as well as an extremely considerate human being. The rest of the staff have been friendly and helpful, too. Both the appointments and the home exercises are a time commitment, but all very worthwhile. read more

I just finished 3mos of PT on my shoulder and can't speak more highly of the Davis Burger and their staff. Everyone, from the PTs to the trainees to the front desk staff are amazing - professional, friendly, organized and accommodating. And they're always running on time (rare for a medical office)! You can tell they genuinely care about their job and their patients. My PT Roya was incredible and I'm actually going to miss seeing her every week. She taught me a lot and, although I still have some shoulder pain (it may be a partial tear...cortisol shots next), she greatly improved my mobility and taught me stretches and exercises that will benefit me forever. Thank you Roya!! Recommend Burger 100%! read more

Years after having multiple surgeries, and feeling pain free, I began to have multiple falls, always landing on my face or other part of my head. I felt dizzy and have difficulty walking. Thanks to Health Net, and a new assignment to Dr. Wu, Woodland Clinic, I was assigned to Burger Physical Therapy. There, through diagnosis and professional therapy of Lihn and Karen, I found that the muscles in my legs were knotting and when touched, I was in terrible pain and this condition was interfering with my mobility and causing the falls. I particularly would like to thank these three wonderful professional women for the progress I am making and their compassionate care. I also want to commend them for taking the time to educate me in my condition and providing support. Nancy Sanders read more

I like this place. They helped tailor the exercises to accommodate my acute shoulder pain, and they gave me suggestions to prevent further injury. Aaron is knowledgeable and pays attention precisely to what hurts. He modified my exercises and suggested I confirm whether this is a rotator cuff issue or something else. (I'm now getting an MRI.) When I said I'd like to have a pulley at home, he told me I could get one for $7 on Amazon. (I got it.) Kiddy, PT assistant, is great. She worked with me on the exercises and then, knowing that the shoulder was irritated, took the time to do a shoulder massage that made all the difference. The reception staff is friendly and the place is wonderfully spacious with big windows and natural light. read more

I've always been a bit skeptical of physical therapy, but I have to say, these guys really helped me. After I herniated a disc in my back, I was really uncertain what would make it better or worse. I saw 3 different therapists there & they were all professional, kind & helped me figure out sleeping position tips, desk ergonomics, car ergonomics, excercises to do to strengthen & heal faster, etc. Their traction table was really helpful for me in alleviating pain. Most of all, it was great to hear their encouragement that I will heal & get better soon, because they see it all the time! read more

I have been treated at Burger Physical Therapy, Davis, for two different issues. The staff is respectful, knowledgable, polite and friendly. Sometimes I barely had a chance to sit down in the waiting area, before they called my name! They are punctual, and very easy to schedule appointments with. The Therapists are fantastic. They helped me recover, always treated me with kindness, have wonderful training and are a delight to work with. I was given easy to understand exercises, communication was very open: they listened, not just heard, what I needed for pain relief. I always looked forward to seeing my physical therapists! I cannot recommend this place high enough. The facility is clean, easy to find, bright and airy, lots of parking, close to freeway. If you want to get better, go here!

Laura at Burger Physical Therapy has given me confidence and freedom to pursue traveling and other activities that I thought I was just too old for. I started physical therapy for pelvic floor rehabilitation in January of this year (2022). Laura was very kind and understanding of my problem and offered physical therapy exercises that helped me to improve and continue to improve. I had, of course, looked on the internet to see what there was about Kegel exercises, but "Dr. Internet" did not have all the answers. Working with Laura, I have gained strength in muscles that can be difficult to identify and strengthen. With her guidance and willingness to answer my questions, I have been able to leave my house for long periods of time, something I had not been able to do. I thank Laura and Burger Physical Therapy for their pelvic floor strengthening program. I recommend it to those who have been searching for an answer to this private problem that, when treated, can lead to such positive outcomes in daily life. Thank you Laura and Burger Physical Therapy for providing this much needed service to women. -Elizabeth B. read more

Burger PT has great staff and a spacious facility. I'm a current patient seeing Abbie for two chronic athletic/overuse injuries. She is enthusiastic and effective. Appointments are 30 minutes long, but you can come early/stay late to work on your home exercises or warm up on a cardio machine as instructed by your therapist. Reception staff call the day before as a reminder. If you bus, Unitrans P/Q line drops of on Covell and John Jones road. To get to the clinic it's a little bit of a walk up John Jones road: about 4 mins if you're fast or 6+ mins if you're slow like me on bad knee pain days. Bottom line: too far if you have a lot of pain with walking; would be tiring but do-able on crutches. If you bike, there are no bike racks at the entrance of the building, but the upstairs breezeway by the elevator is spacious -- I don't know if the building manager would approve, but I left my bike there for a visit once. If you drive a car, there's a giant parking lot with plenty of spots. A note for folks on Medi-Cal: I got Medi-Cal health coverage in February and my primary care doctor at Woodland Healthcare Davis referred me to Burger PT. When I called Burger PT's first-time-appointment line, the scheduler said they did not accept Medi-Cal. What I learned is that you have to tell them the specific group you've been assigned to with Medi-Cal -- in my case, I have Partnership Health Plan of California. Within Partnership, I am assigned to Woodland Healthcare Davis. It's a lot of names and a bit confusing, but I would say when in doubt, list all the business names/plan names on all your health care cards for the Burger PT scheduler, so you can be sure they hear what they need to hear in order to know whether they accept your insurance. In my case the scheduler said they do accept Partnership but not Medi-Cal (even though to me, it's the same thing). read more

As an avid athlete, I've fallen apart over the years and have seen a lot of physios in different cities. Since moving to Davis, I've been to Burger a few times and so this is an overall review and not about one physio in particular. Overall, I've not been very satisfied with their physios. In the past, a good physio sits there and listens to you describe your problem, and then they do a series of tests and predict what you'll be feeling. Then after they've confirmed their initial suspicion, they confidently diagnose you and give you an appropriate rehab regimen. Sometimes it is surprising, like working out an arm muscle because of wrist pain. At Burger, they start with a million questions about your lifestyle and so on, then they take their time doing a lot of tests and generally aren't very sure about what the problem is. (You are billed based on time with the physio, by the way). Then they give a standard print out of strengthening exercises. It is very cookie cutter: if you go in with any kind of knee problem you're probably going to leave with the same printout that any other person with knee problems gets, even though the causes may be entirely different across people. It's the same thing you'd find after a quick google search. If you are relatively savvy about rehab (95% of the time it is just strengthening and stretching the muscles around a problem area), you probably want to skip it. They don't seem to have any of the miracle workers you may have experienced elsewhere that can figure your problem out the moment you describe symptoms. If you are new to rehab, though, then maybe going to Burger would be enlightening. Finally, their billing is really frustrating. You won't receive your bill for at least two months, and the staff never know what you'll have to pay. Once I had an issue that benefited from ongoing treatment so I kept going once a week only to find out months later that each visit was costing $85 per 30 minutes (and they're in my network). If I had known that from the start I wouldn't have bothered with the follow up visits. read more

Horrible scheduling! They never call you back and when you schedule appointment It's changed to another appointment... They apologize and reschedule your appointment one month later. Happens every time. I think is about time I change the place I go. read more

I was referred for hip pain mostly when climbing stairs. Knew it was likely muscular but didn't know what exercises to do. Therapist figured out immediately. By doing a home exercise program and some on-site massage, it's way, way better within 3 weeks. The therapists are amazing, facility clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking too. I definitely recommend Davis Burger PT. read more

I went to Burger Physical Therapy on a referral form Sutter Hospital, Davis. Getting an appointment is easier and they give a reminder call a day before the appointment, so that you won't miss it. The therapist are extremely friendly. They make us feel better with exercise and other therapies. Give ideas on how we can improve while doing our daily work. Special thanks to Richard, who was my therapist, who helped me in recovering from the wrist injury and I feel much better after 3-4 sessions of therapy. read more

The therapy is awesome and the therapists are wonderful and knowledgeable. Cody and Susanne are great. The exercises they gave me to do have helped my hands considerably and I'll avoid surgery for many a year. So why not five stars? Their billing is very expensive and almost deceitful. When I asked what my copay was, I was told I didn't have one and they'd bill the insurance company. What they didn't tell me is that, at the clinic, they don't have a way to see what my insurance company would cover, and that I'd be responsible. Turns out it was $500 for four visits, and that's after the insurance shaved off half of it. The plastic hand splint that Cody fashioned while I was doing the exercises he showed me cost over $200 each and there was absolutely NO mention of that. And the cold rubbing and ultra sound treatment is a good $150. That's on top of the hour cost of $150. I don't know if I'd have done something different if I had known, but I certainly do not appreciate being kept ignorant. The treatment is good, but expensive and a very rude surprise two months after finishing my visits. I've been to other PTs where they actually tell you up front what the insurance will cover and what you'll be paying. I prefer to be an informed customer instead of feeling fleeced. But my hands are better. That can't be denied. So it will be up to you to find out what the costs are going to be, because they aren't going to tell you up front. I'm not sure if I'll be going back there and I'll be talking with my doctor about their bad billing practices along with their good therapy. read more

First visit. Pain was overwhelming - but my tech kept pushing me! It will all be greater later!

I have been having physical therapy on my reconstructed foot twice a week for months. My therapist, Neil, is great and gives me lots of encouragement. We work together to try to rehab this foot so that I can be walking soon. He also explains what he is doing and why, which I really appreciate. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. read more

First time here and very positive experience for my mom. She will be treated here for the next 6 weeks. She's optimistic that she will finally get the pain relief she's been wishing for. Very pleasant staff... smiling and having fun up front which is nice to see. Neil treated my mom with a lot of TLC. Very pleasant experience all around. read more

I do not recommend this place to anyone. Not professional in therapy or customer satisfactory. Ended up going there more than 4. Once the first bill came through after the third month, found out one of my insurances wasn't accepted. Now I'm left with this huge bill that if they had told me in the first place it wouldn't be accepted I would have stopped my therapies. Awful billing department. I highly suggest Sutter. read more
