When I was 68 years old, I went to Woodlands Sports Medicine at the suggestion of my PCP for…read moretreatment of sciatica in the lower back. Dr. David Strausser proved to be an outstanding doctor, first guiding me thru a series of PT sessions before evaluating me for surgery. I developed debilitating pain at nite that began in the hamstring attachment to the hip, then ran down the back of my knee to the ankle. I lay in bed 9 hours to get 6 hours of arrested sleep. The PT sessions continued for three months -- with limited (and temporary) gains. Ten days before the scheduled surgery, Dr. Strausser suggested an epidural injection into the affected lumbar area. His treatment that afternoon enabled me to put the 4-point walker in the closet the next day. It was and still is the single most effective medical experience in my life. Surgery was rendered unnecessary by the success of the injection. Not only did his therapy deliver a prompt and comparatively complete cure, but Dr. Strausser advised me on appropriate exercise and stretching routines to keep my spine limber. "Use a recumbent bicycle and take up swimming in your workouts" were his words. His knowledge extends to protective measures in how to use the back, not just avoidance of injury. I regret taking 3.5 years to write this note, but for readers with similar sciatica problems, my long measure of cure confirms the success of the Strausser Method. Michael S. -- The Woodlands

The first rule of medicine is supposed to be "first, do no harm." Unfortunately, that principle…read moreseemed completely lost at this office. (Edit: I should specify this was with Dr. Shatby's office.) My primary care doctor referred me here after an X-ray came back negative for bone break/fracture. My PCP believed I likely needed an MRI and evaluation by an orthopedist. Before the appointment, I confirmed my referral had gone through, provided all my information, and was told they were only missing the X-ray results. They gave me a fax number, I contacted the imaging center, and had the results faxed over. Problem solved - or so I thought. I arrive for my appointment only to be told the doctor refuses to see me without the actual x-ray imaging files, despite already having the radiologist's report. Instead of explaining this requirement beforehand, the receptionist immediately tried to push me into getting another X-ray done right there. Her response? "Don't worry, it's only a $10 copay." That completely missed the point. I didn't 't care about the copay. I care about exposure to unnecessary ionizing radiation and unnecessary repeat imaging when my PCP already believed the next step was an MRI. Why was I being asked to repeat an X-ray I literally just had done less than a week before? Hmm... I declined the repeat X-ray, drove all the way back to the imaging center, obtained the DVD myself, and brought it back to their office the same day. I had to actually get a physical DVD because this office also does not have any method in place for receiving digital records such as x-rays. OK, so let me get this straight: their office REQUIRES the original images, but yet they have NO WAY to receive such images except for an antiquated DVD, and if someone does not have said DVD, then they require them to get NEW images, coincidentally done at THEIR facility, or else the Dr. won't see the patient? Does that seem appropriate to you? Finally, after all that effort, I was then told the doctor had already left for the day. So they wanted to reschedule me for the following week. To make matters worse, they charged me the co-pay for the appointment, which I am disputing. They are also trying to bill my insurance for the appointment even though I was never actually seen (disputing that also). The entire experience felt less focused on patient care and far more focused on funneling patients into in-house imaging. Maybe there's a perfectly innocent explanation (I doubt it), but when a patient is pressured to repeat x-ray imaging they already completed, despite a specialist referral specifically for an MRI evaluation, it raises serious concerns, to say the least. Patients are not just billing opportunities. Repeated radiation exposure may be "small" each time, but it is cumulative, and unnecessary exposure is still unnecessary exposure. The complete lack of coordination, communication, and respect for the patient's time and SAFETY was unacceptable. Stay far away. I will not be returning.

I went here a while back ago and was shocked at how much they have to offer. I went for sports…read morenutrition, to see where my body was at and test my BMI (muscle and fat calculator) and RMR (calories needed). I had never done the BodPod before but that was part of the body composition testing and it was pleasantly easy. I did wear a bathing suit, which wasn't exciting, but the actual testing only took a couple minutes, and the results came right out. We also discussed my nutrition intake and where my diet was and should be in order to compete. Because the location only opened this year, I don't think a lot of people know that this location has strength and conditioning and sports nutrition, on top of physical therapy and orthopedics. I had a friend that was referred here to get physical therapy to recover from an injury, and she really likes working with the physical therapists. They are the ones affiliated with the Ironman Texas in Galveston, and the ultra-distance Ironman event in the Woodlands so you see the Ironman signs all around the triathlon and marathon events, and they do packages for athletes, as well as runners, cyclist, and triathletes. They were really easy to work with and had availability that worked well for me.

Great personalities and atmosphere! They truly care about their patients, push them to get better…read moreeach and every appointment! They are extremely knowledgeable in their craft, and will get you back on your feet in "no time". They have helped me overcome multiple injuries, and each time I was happy with the results. I highly suggest coming to them with whatever injury you have! 5 out of 5 stars!

I met with Dr Chin who specializes in my problem he said I needed physical therapy. I met with Clint and Brandon who is in training to be a PT. I also have to say John also made my visits entertaining. Let me tell you, only after 8 sessions my back hardly hurts anymore. It went from being sore all day long and reminded that I'm getting old to NOTHING ........Nothing!!!! For the first time in five years I can actually walk around feeling no pain my whole entire day! Thank you Clint and your whole PT team for making me feel like the 25yr old I have always wanted to go back to and not the 46 yr old I actually am. :) The whole staff here is amazing and so friendly! I am forever grateful for them. I will highly recommend Sterling Ridge orthopedics to all my hair clients that come in complaining of some kind of injury. Thank you!

Saw Dr. Paul Chin, originally diagnosed as labral tear, did PT and Chiropractic, no improvement. MRI revealed spinal isues, referred to Dr. Edmund Choi. More PT and Chiro and recommended Hemilamenectomy. No improvement, elected for surgery March 2024. Dr. Choi supposedly performed the Hemilamenectomy and pain level reduced for a couple of weeks, then came back worse than ever. Continued PT, Chiro and Aquatic Therapy with no reduction in pain. Even tried another injection. Nothing was improving. I ended up getting another MRI and a 2nd medical consult from a Nuerosurgeon who reviewed multiple MRIs (pre and post op) and questioned me as to what surgery Dr. Choi had performed. My new Nuerosurgeon at Memorial Hermann-Woodlands said there was no evidence of any previous surgery in my spine and we were both shocked. Needless to say, I hired the Neurosurgeon to repair my spine which he skillfully completed in August 2024. I'm now 100% pain free and walking well (no thanks to Sterling Ridge Orthopaedics and espcially Dr. Choi). A couple of positive comments re: SRO - Office staff are excellent. Dr. Beukelman is a great chiropractor. All the PT crew were excellent, especially Aquatics with Kristin! I can not recommend Dr. Edmund Choi and suggest getting a second opinion to ensure adequate care. I spent almost a year in debilitating pain because this doctor couldn't fix the problem. A HUGE disappointment...

I have been going here since 2000. I have had one surgery by Dr. Cannon and 3 by Dr. Shah, so this…read morewill be primarily about Dr. Shah even though my experience with Dr. Cannon in 2001 was the same. I am amazed to see so many one star reviews but realize that people are going in with problems that are painful and not always 100% repairable. I have never experienced the staff issues with either Dr. Cannon or Dr. Shah's staffs. Dr. Cannon did my right shoulder in May of 2001 and I was back to original strength and flexibility as before my damage. In 2008, I had my left bicep detached at the forearm due to me thinking that I was much younger than my years playing volleyball. Dr. Shah re-attached it and the recovery was smooth and complete. In 2010, I tore my left medial meniscus in my knee while bowling. I went back to Dr. Shah and again the results were excellent. He advised me that I have a fair amount of arthritis in that knee so to be aware that there could be ongoing issues. We introduced a treatment of SyncVisc not long after surgery and I have not had any issues since. In 2012, I re-injured my right shoulder (old on the outside, young in the mind). This time to Dr. Shah. The recovery was long being in an abduction pillow, however, with excellent phyical therapy downstairs, I was back to 100% being able to do anything that I used to in time. I re-injured that right shoulder again 18 months ago while working overseas (fall in my apartment) and now finally getting the time to get at it. Today, from the time that I checked in until I saw the doctor was 8 minutes! When does that ever happen? I will get an MRI to check current level of damage but would not think of going anywhere else for my surgery.

I had shoulder surgery here for AC Separation Grade III in November of 2025. A few months later and…read moremy condition is no better than before the surgery. (As confirmed by a CT scan.) And now I'm in more pain. My clavicle is sticking out of my shoulder making me look deformed. The Doctor refuses to make it right without me paying all of my deductibles and out of pocket expenses all over again. Thousands of dollars!

I was in search of a pelvic floor…read moretherapist, and due to the long waist and hoops I had to jump through with insurance I started seeking help elsewhere. I found this clinic though an ad they were running and decided to give it a shot. They were extremely accommodating from the jump, with my need to pre-pay on a Thursday beforehand when I made the appointment the following Friday.. they have multiple different methods of communication to include text which makes it much easier as a busy mom to keep up with things. When I arrived at my first appointment the staff was amazing they are all so sweet professional, and prompt. All directions where very clear, and the expectations where very clear. They answered all my questions and even had answers for ones I didn't realize I needed. I am a nurse, and having them treat me as a person and a patient was very nice not assuming I knew everything. Since my first visit they ask me about things we have talked about at previous visits like weekend plans making me feel like more than just a name on a chart but a human. To top this all off the cost of their therapy was cheaper in total than I would have paid with insurance!!! And with that I am also able to have them help me with other things in coordination with my pelvic floor that if I would have gone through insurance would not have been covered. The PTA Hannah is so sweet and very knowledgeable. The PT Lindsay aligned perfectly with my own medical practice theology, which kicked us off to an amazing start. We clicked immediately and as a provider I felt comfortable and confident in her plans. I am so happy that I found this physical therapy clinic, and I have already recommended them highly to my friends and family. I can't speak highly enough about them.
