I started having lower back pain a while ago and it only had gotten worse. Therefore, I went to Dr…read more Li for help. He wanted me to do some exercises to help reduce the pain but tried his best to tailor it to my needs to make sure that the exercises would actually help me instead of making things worse. Dr. Li not only helped me better understand how my muscles work and ways to use them correctly. His treatment is more on the holistic side where he also cares about improving my health as a whole as such sleeping better and breathing more correctly. I think that's the best way to approach my problems because my back problems could have been persisting partially because of other problems that had also been happening.

Deeply disappointed with my treatment here. I went here 2x a week for 4 weeks, and my symptoms got…read moreworse the more I came here. I came in for tight muscle issue around my shoulders, and I ended up with nerve impingements down both my arms. I'm not saying Dr Li caused the nerve impingements, but it was greatly exacerbated after my visits. After most of my visits, when walking home, my ulnar and median nerves were more tingly than when I came in. Dr. Li is a chiropractor and physical therapist, so he charges for both treatments, making an average visit 2x the cost than a visit to most other PT's. His appointments are also only 30 minutes, with 10 mins spent on talking about how I'm feeling, 10 mins spent on chiropractic adjustments, and 10 min on showing me exercises I should do at home (most of which are already on his instagram btw). By contrast, I started seeing a new physical therapist who charges me less than half the cost of Dr. Li, and my appointments are 1 hour long. The treatment plan I received from Dr Li was starkly different from another PT. For example, because I have ulnar and median nerve tingly-ness, he recommended that I do 30 nerve glides at one go, several times throughout the day. My new PT (along with all other PT resources I found online) said to do NO MORE THAN 10 at one go, because doing more irritates the nerve too much. And that's exactly what happened when I would attempt to do 30. He also assigned me to do 20 push-ups for an exercise, without being aware than bending my elbows less than 90 degrees caused more irritation to my nerves. By contrast, my new PT is giving me exercises that don't put as much strain on my elbows to help me build back strength without causing more pain. I'm glad that Dr. Li was able to help other patients but it was a total waste of money in my particular case.

Each time I'd go in and seek help, I'm always met w/the same spiel of: "everything looks normal", "you're still young", "just stretch", 'specialist this-specialist that' blah blah bs. My Landlord, a former pt, highly recommended Airrosti after she noticed I was limping and I told her I was having sciatic pain that got triggered after a workout. I made an appt and was quickly scheduled to see Dr.Barragan. I'm ngl, I didn't have much confidence- given my history of being dismissed by white coats time & again. But I'm so glad I gave Airrosti a shot! and I strongly recommend anyone on the fence, to do the same! My appt started on time. I was seen by Dr. Barragan. Dr. B was very friendly & chatty right off the bat & it put me a bit at ease. Dr. Barragan *listened and asked questions re injury. Not only did he tell me (w/confidence) that he knew what was going on w/me but that he could help!! And help he did! Dr. B's got the magic touch Y'all!!: I went from constant chronic pain-to more tolerable flexibility on my hip & legs and the pain/tension I had on my back- it went from constant to way more tolerable in the hour I was in his office. The techniques, Dr. B used (though painful) were just what my body needed to help get 'that release', I hadn't been able to get anywhere else. The only downside is the steep cost if your insurance doesn't cover the appts. But the way I'm currently feeling vs how I was feeling 2wks ago is Def worth the cost. I def recommend Dr. Barragan !! He'll leave ya feeling better than what you did goin' in and he's professional, really patient and actually knows what th he's doin'!!

But as you see, I have Dr. Schwartz on that list to whomever asks me about a great shoulder-guy. (I work in the electrical industry; we get a lot of shoulder and knee problems.) Anyway, I was warned by my coworkers who've gone through similar shoulder surgeries about all the post-surgery problems, mainly pain and recovery I will encounter. Not true after my surgery with Dr. Schwartz. Yes, your mileage may vary but the worst part for me was having to wear a sling. My pain was minimal and recovery was very quick. (I had the full-meal deal; rotator cuff and bicep reattachment and I guess my collarbone had to be shaved.). Dr. Schwartz was very patient and actually listened to my concerns both pre and post-op. He explained everything from my injuries, my upcoming surgery and what to expect afterwards. He's pretty proud of his work, even showing me a video of my surgery. And his staff was awesome! I liked his work so much, I had my other shoulder repaired three months after my first.. this shoulder's recovering fine as well. One thing to note: getting something surgically repaired is not like taking your car to the mechanic. You can't expect to just go take boxing lessons after you leave the shop. It takes time and a lot of physical therapy to properly heal, as Dr. Schwartz told me on my very first visit. Follow your post-op instructions handed to you and actually DO your physical therapy routines and you'll be fine. So if you're looking for a really great shoulder-surgeon, "I gotta guy...."

I had been dealing with shoulder pain for over a year when I finally saw Dr. Schwartz. He decided…read morethat surgery would be the next logical step and said that he would find a repair whatever was wrong. He did find and fix a couple things that were wrong, and said that if I followed my PT my shoulder would be as good as new. Almost 6 months after surgery and following PT strictly, my shoulder is in more pain than before the surgery with no end in sight. Dr. Schwartz ordered another MRI and I feel like I'm right back where I started, having wasted 6 months and a lot of money. I was terrified of having surgery by Dr. Schwartz assured me that it would end up solving my problem. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Despite seeing several physical therapists, and knowing surgery wasn't an option, I feared this struggle would be lifelong. Ryan helped me get my shoulder strong gradually, but surely.

I felt impatient with myself and was quite frustrated, but Ryan was incredibly patient and came up with new programs to continue the work while adapting to my body's needs. Ryan's experience and kindness truly stand out. His ability to maintain energy and focus with numerous clients back-to-back is impressive. If you've tried physical therapy before without success, I highly recommend giving Ryan a try!

She explained everything to me thoroughly and very clearly. She thoroughly examined my walk, leg, etc. and was able to pin point the problem instead of ordering a bunch of x-rays that would cost more money. I left not just very satisfied, but I even asked her to recommend me other doctors since I was so impressed with my experience!

After investing significant time and multiple trips to the office, communication became increasingly frustrating and inconsistent. I was told my appliance appointment had to be rescheduled because of a delay, only to later receive a termination letter ending the provider-patient relationship due to an alleged "breakdown in the therapeutic relationship." What bothered me most was not simply the termination, but the lack of clear, straightforward communication regarding the status of treatment already in progress. Matters that should have been simple became unnecessarily complicated. If you are considering this clinic, I would strongly encourage asking detailed questions upfront about billing, insurance coverage, timelines, and how unresolved treatment plans are handled if issues arise. This was an unexpectedly stressful and disappointing experience.
