New location, great space!
David T.

I started coming here 4 weeks after a spinal fusion surgery (TLIF - L4-L5), afraid to move, twist and lift due to warnings from my surgeon. I met with Matthew Shihab for an evaluation and he got me started on stretches and exercises right away. I was a little surprised at what they wanted me to do since I was so scared of injuring the surgery site, but Matthew assured me that I can handle it. At the 8/12/16 week progress evaluations, I'm positive I was further along than if I had tried to recover on my own. With the help of Matthew and the aides (especially Janelah, Sam, Cole, Eric, Rose, and others), I feel like I'm not only progressing with my recovery but also taking in as much as I can for continued health and strength. The front desk staff, especially Amanda and Val, are always welcoming and helpful and the insurance billing has been completely honest and transparent. Compared to other PTs I've been to, this has been the most time spent with the DPT that I've experienced. The manual and massage gun therapies each time are amazing and keep me coming back. I have also met with Taylor to teach me new exercises and he was great. From what I've observed, everyone is great here and Sooner or later, I'll have to "graduate", but I'll take what I've learned and keep working on improving my strength, balance and flexibility. By the way, most of the pictures are of their old location. They've been in the new location for a few months and it's much nicer, open, and easier to find.

The entire staff is always warm, welcoming, and professional. Teresa, Connor, and Angelina were all great to work with throughout the process. Teresa was especially knowledgeable and took the time to really listen to what I was experiencing, while Connor and Angelina were always supportive, encouraging, and attentive during sessions. I always felt like the team genuinely cared about my recovery and progress. What I appreciated most was how personalized everything felt instead of being put through a generic routine. The exercises, hands-on treatment, and overall guidance were clearly tailored to what I needed, and I saw a very fast improvement in my shoulder recovery and mobility because of it. I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone dealing with pain, injuries, or mobility issues and would definitely return again if needed.

I worked primarily with Jada and Teresa, and they were truly with me every step of the way. When I started, I had already been in a boot for several months and felt like I had a long road ahead of me. They were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging as they guided me through the transition from the boot to walking in shoes again. Throughout the entire process, I always felt supported and genuinely cared for. They didn't just focus on the physical exercises; they made sure I understood the recovery process and felt comfortable with my progress. When I was finally discharged, I felt confident that I had the strength and mobility to get back to my normal life. If you are looking for a physical therapy team that is professional, empathetic, and dedicated to your recovery, this is the place to go. Thank you, Jada and Teresa!

Dr. Lin and Dr. Park Over the summer of 2025, I was…read moreassaulted. Among the injuries I sustained, the most significant were skull base fractures and fractures of my orbit, which led the emergency doctors to diagnose me with traumatic optic neuropathy. After consultations with maxillofacial specialists and ophthalmologists, I was told I was legally blind, 20/230, and that this was now my life. Devastated, I reached out to Dr. Lin who was highly referred by a longtime family friend. She felt he and his team should see me and offer other opinions. While Western medicine may refer to Dr. Lin as a "physical therapist," I don't think that language fully defines what he does. At our first meeting, he was gentle, attentive, and deeply aware of my condition. His method is difficult for me to fully articulate, but it was unlike anything the physicians I had seen before had provided. Dr. Lin created a treatment plan in collaboration with his in-house acupuncturist, Dr. Park, and the two of them treated me in concert. I visited them about once a month. Dr. Park performed acupuncture targeting specific hemispheres they agreed would be beneficial, while Dr. Lin used manual techniques, pressing, pulling, and adjusting different parts of my face and body. One moment stands out clearly in my memory. As Dr. Park had acupuncture needles placed in the points she selected, Dr. Lin pressed a section of my face under my eye with significant pressure. The instant he released, my nasal passage cleared dramatically. I had been so focused on my vision that I ignored other parts of my body that also needed attention. This is what impressed me most: their understanding of the interconnectedness of the human body, and the way each system affects the next. Even though I came in focused on a single issue, they recognized that other problems could be developing or stagnating and that treating one area would likely set off a domino effect. They addressed everything collectively rather than isolating one symptom. Dr. Park also gave me homework: changes to my diet, foods to avoid, preferred cooking methods, and even the temperature of liquids I should consume. Detailed instructions that had never been offered nor had I considered. Western medicine had only offered me chemical treatments or surgeries to remove or implant. Dr. Lin was one of the few who was relieved I had not had a surgery and was not taking medication. In my most desperate moment, when the reality of vision loss was fresh and overwhelming, they helped keep hope alive. I am happy to say that I have since improved to 20/40 vision. Slowly, every day I feel a little better. I am not claiming that Dr. Park and Dr. Lin performed miracles. What I do believe is that the treatment they provided stimulated something meaningful in my recovery. Maybe I would have healed to this extent without them, maybe not. But I wholeheartedly feel that their treatment encouraged my body to heal itself. I am four months removed from the incident, I have my vision back and I feel great. Recovery is not complete, but I am in a place now that my Ophthalmologist told me never to expect. Thank you to both Dr. Lin and Dr. Park. I could not be more grateful.
