I am so grateful to Tim and his physical therapist, Katy, for the excellent care I received after my surgery for a fractured femur a year ago on my right leg. Katy made me feel very much at ease during my sessions, and I was impressed with her vast knowledge of my injury and her compassionate manner. She invested the time to explain things to me, and I never felt rushed. She is a great therapist and gave 100% to my recovery. A few years ago I was also looking for a physical therapist for my back problems, and a couple of friends recommended Dreher Physical Therapy. I'm so thankful for the excellent care I received both then and now. Kathie P. read more

Excellent client focused service. Nice therapist who know what doing. Persistent in regard to helping clients accomplish goals.

I had consultation here. Very rude and unprofessional. I didn't feel cery comfortable.I would not recommended!

I was a student at Tim Dreher PT for my first clinical rotation as a PT student. The clinic provides excellent service, professionalism, and individualized care. 60 minutes with a licensed physical therapist each visit allows the best outcomes for the patient. I would highly recommend Tim Dreher PT and feel confident referring a family member or friend! read more

Tim is working on my S.I. joint pain now and after 2 sessions I'm feeling so much better! He's such a nice guy, fun to work with too.

I have been going to see Tim off and on for several years. He is extremely knowledgeable about the body and uses various modalities. He is always laid back and funny, yet very professional. I have referred several people to him, all with positive results. I recommend him highly. Bonnie Lerner, Occupational Therapist, and Pilates Instructor read more

After cycling through two other physical therapy practices over the last year, I finally found the ONLY effective practice. I had serious long term injuries and scar tissue that no one had ever addressed. Rather then starting with the lunges and stretches so common to physical therapy, Andy actually listened to my history and acknowledged my severe muscle restriction. He then spent months using deep tissue manual therapy to get rid of years of scar tissue. My pain level went from barely walking back to normal activity level. Don't be thrown off by the small office within the Planet Fitness gym. Small means you are Andy's only patient, no PT assistants. So he focuses on you, and you only for an entire hour. Andy is also a personal trainer, specializing in post rehabilitation training www.Totalfitnesstraining.us read more

Leslee at this office was the most horribly rude and unprofessional physical therapist I have ever encountered in my life. She was running late, and when I inquired when I would be seen she came out very aggressive, stood within 6 inches of my face, and while she spoke in a very soft tone her words were so horribly rude. I asked her to back up, and she refused stating "I don't know what your problem is" and then proceeded to insult me. I can't state if their office would have been helpful to my health because I was not with them long enough, but the strain caused by their treatment would have negated any positive physical help. read more

I am a woman in my early 70's who sees Tim Dreher P T for heel and ankle pain. I have had these problems on and off for many years. Tim feels my current pain is caused by joint stiffness or hypomobility of my ankle joint. After only 3 sessions the pain has lessened considerably. I have never had such quick improvement of this issue working with other PT's . I am thankful to him for correctly diagnosing this problem which I had assumed was plantar fasciitis. During this pandemic, Tim comes to my house with a wonderfully helpful student, Alexandra, observing all the health precautions as do I and works with me for a full hour. Recently, I also worked with an associate of Tim's, Lisa Scialla DPT, who is equally professional and experienced. She added another modality of taping my feet which helps alleviate some of the pain while walking. I highly recommend both Physical Therapists. Sent from my iPhone read more

Tim is terrific! I am a physician and Tim has successfully helped me through a number of different sports-related problem over the years. He is currently helping me a shoulder injury and I particularly appreciate his coming to my home for session. I highly recommend him to friends and family. read more

I've been treated here twice, once after breaking my arm and again for a strained Achilles tendon. I found both Michele and Lisa to be excellent: the stretching and strengthening the prescribed was very effective, and they were both a pleasure to work with. The location on the lower level of the Scandinavian Living Center is very pleasant. read more

I've worked at Dreher Physical Therapy for the last year and a half. The office is both fun and professional, and most importantly, the PTs are excellent at what they do. The company does almost no advertising and over 90% of our patients come to us from referrals. I absolutely love both my fellow employees and the clients who see us. It's a small, warm and welcoming environment. read more

Tim Dreher behaved unprofessionally by 1) not showing up to my appointment (without having the courtesy to let me know) and having a student see me instead (we both thought he was just running late and would show up any minute) and then 2) being a nightmare in terms of billing - seems he failed to cash the check from my insurance and they had to reissue. Not a fan. read more

I visited Andy at Tim Dreher Therapy Ass for a problem with my lower back from training for the Boston Marathon. He was really helpful and got me back on track with my training and ready to run the race. He did an extensive evaluation of my running technique, body alignment and fitness program at the beginning of treatment and worked me through various phases to alleviate the pain and gain strength. He was also really accommodating in scheduling me with one-on-one appointments in the evenings which was the only time I had available. I would definitely visit him again with any other injuries. read more

I had rotator cuff surgery and the 1st physical therapist tore my rotator cuff again requiring a 2nd surgery. This time a went to see Tim Dreher who came highly recommended. Unlike the first PT where it seemed they just followed a list of different exercises and streching, I felt that with Tim, all of my treatment was always specifically designed for me. There was always conversations, moving me around to see where the problems were and where I had pain and restrictions. Tim did wonders with both of my shoulders, one with the surgery and the other with a partial tear. I'm now skiing, playing tennis and living a normal, painfree life. I highly recommend Tim to anyone seeking excellent PT care. read more

Tim and his team have helped me overcome some chronic issues with my shoulders, lower back and legs. Some of this was over use (running), using weights at the gym incorrectly, sitting too long in front of a computer and the good ole process of aging. Tim has been my go to PT for over 15 years. He knows the body and from years of experience and training, has great intuition about cause and effect. I've learned so much from him. From what I hear, he lectures around the country on a variety of subjects. So he is something of a subject matter expert. Finally, he is just a great, down to earth guy who enjoys helping others. read more

This is a really different PT experience. It's small, it's personal, it's relaxed and it's fun. The physical therapists are outstanding. The woman I worked with, Li, finally helped me overcome serious back and elbow pain - after all kinds of other interventions failed. They're located on the lower level of the Scandanivan Home so you get a truly multi-generational experience. I just can't say enough about Tim and his team. Go there. read more

Tim and his team solved an acute tendon pain on my Achilles. They spent a lot of time during the initial evaluation and didn't stop adjusting treatments until I was pain free. 4 out of five family members plus friends have been treated here. Great job Tim, Heather, Lisa and Leslie. read more

My first PT experience, but Tim and Co. were great. They know their stuff and make practical, effective recommendations for exercise and recovery. And the massage is great! Highly recommended if you need the help. They take insurance. read more

I first came to Dr. Greig Andrews D.C. for pain and stiffness in my neck, shoulders and upper back. I was expecting to get cracked, and was a little anxious about that. I had received those kinds of adjustments before, and sometimes they hurt. Well, first Dr. Greig told me that a lot of my pain and discomfort was related to tension from stress. I had not heard that, but it sure made sense to me! Then, he began "adjusting" me. Well, it certainly wasn't what I expected. No cracking. He said he could do that when necessary, but that it often was not, and that even when it was, it should never hurt. That sounded good to me. The adjustment was very gentle, and so relaxing. I felt like my tension and stress, and the pain and stiffness related to it, began to melt away. As I continued care, not only did my neck back and shoulders get looser and feel better, but my low back and hips felt less stiff, more flexible, and my occasional sinus headaches improved as well. My allergies affected me less. And, I feel less anxious in general. I feel like, with less tension and stress in my body, I just feel less stressed by life. Now I sleep better, and wake up easier. I generally feel calmer. Life is still stressful, but I am not so overwhelmed by it all the time. And when I am, I go back to see Dr. Greig Andrews. And I bring my children in, when they have colds, headaches, or when they fall and get hurt. And kids these days have stress too, so they love getting adjusted with me! read more

This was an outstanding experience. The therapists were superb. The atmosphere is professional, supportive and very warm. The approach is very holistic. This was, by far, the best experience I have had in physical therapy. You are not simply consigned to some machine and finished off with stim and ice. There is actual therapy involved. I would recommend Tim and his crew without any reservation. read more

I injured my ankle on a rope swing accident and Tim and his crew were great at getting me out of pain and getting my strength and balance back to normal so that I can't even remember which foot I injured. They also took a look at the whole picture and gave me advice on a gym routine, weight-loss strategies, osteoporosis management and even tips for getting a good nights sleep! read more

This practice is located at the Scandinavian Living Center, close to my home so that is why I tried it. I'd come across town at rush hour for them now! This is the first PT practice that doesn't slough you off to some underling once you get started with them that I have tried. My mom (92) worked with Tim who knows his stuff. He's kind and gentle, but he makes you work because he wants you better. The best part is you work with him or the other PT, not just on your own. He has a great sense of humor and you feel safe in his hands. He checks your progress and makes sure you are doing the exercises correctly. You get follow-up paperwork with diagrams so you can work at home correctly and safely. An added benefit to this practice is Dr. Carl who is the chiropractor on staff. Together they make a highly competent and complementary team. If you live in Newton or the surrounding area and need PT services, get on over here for a highly personal, expert healing session. read more

I have been seeing Tim at Tim Dreher Physical Therapy since February of 2010. I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was in continuous pain, and was not able to do simple, everyday tasks. I could not walk far without pain, sit without pain, or any type of chore without a serious amount of pain. My doctor's explained to me that this is something that I would deal with for the rest of my life. Tim was extremely knowledge about my condition, and for the past two years spent the time with me to not only help me with the psychical pain, but helped me to understand the psychological and functional pieces of my illness as well. I never felt rushed, felt like I could ask all my questions, and felt like I was dealing with a true professional who cared about me and my health. He helped me understand how to pace myself so that I did not flare up my disease, and helped me get back on track to a normal life. At this point in my life, I am 90% pain free, can work and take care of my home with no problems. I give Tim 100% of the credit for giving me my life back. read more
