This is from last year. i am 76, disabled and alone. My Dr. sent me for therapy. Things were Ok. I had a new therapist who tried to hustle me for $200.00 for a foot spray. I wasn't happy and I told them. I quit going. read more

Integrated total body hands on approach, because some physical therapist actually understand that when most injuries occur, it effects other parts of the body. It doesn't matter if you break a big toe, have a knee or hip replacement, fuse a disc, tear a rotator cuff...all injuries impact your whole body at some level, and the whole body system needs to be a part of the big picture when it comes time to rehab that knee, hip, shoulder, back, whatever, that has been throwing your body mechanics off. I've been in and out of PT for 30 years. I could write my own book. I've had the whole range of therapist. Most only focus on that ONE body part that needs rehabilitation, but once in a great while, I find a really great physical therapist and pain management doctor combination that view the patient as a person...someone that they truly want to be as functional as normal as possible. Understand, no physical therapist can make you whole again without you putting in the grunt work. They are your guide...your teacher...to assist you in properly making your body function properly. It is a partnership in your health. The crew at Great Basin gives you the tools and helps to make you well. They know when you need that little push to make your next milestone on your road to recovery, but are also there to help you thru any set backs. They offer a very friendly, open and relaxed environment. read more

Let me tell you about this physical therapy group! I have a full rounded experience with this group of professionals, Ashwin especially. I will start from the beginning, I came to know Ashwin when my son visited Shriner's Hospital and was told he needed surgery on his legs. His femurs do not align with his knees, and it was causing him inability to squat. Which made squatting very uncomfortable and nearly impossible. My son, which was 15 at the time was scared, as any child would be with the talk of surgery. The doctors told him they would have to break his legs and reposition them into alignment with his knees. I sought out a physical therapist in the time waiting up for my son's next appointment. I happened upon Ashwin and his group mainly because they were willing to take on a new patient at the time. He reviewed my son's condition and examined him thoroughly and began his magic! My son continued therapy for close to a whole year, in which Ashwin was able to stretch out my son's legs and tendons. My son was able to squat after working with him. He was unable to "normally" squat because of course Ashwin didn't break his legs, but in his own way he was able to get into a squatting position. When we followed up with Shriner's Hospital and they saw my son's progress, they were shocked! They elected for him to not have surgery and wanted the name of Great Basin Physical Therapy group for their use upon patients in the South Lake Tahoe and surrounding areas! Fast Forward to 2017, I was in a roll over accident 13 years prior and I couldn't take the pain my back anymore! I came to see Ashwin again after I saw a Doctor (not mentioning anyone here) and they told me I needed to go to physical therapy after reviewing my MRIs and X-Rays. I sought out Ashwin again! He thoroughly examined my condition, I had a large dip I think he said 2-3 inches in my shoulder to the right side from years of compensating the pain. Ashwin worked with me for almost a year, 2-3 times a week, including pool therapy, home therapy, as well as in office therapy. I had epidurals which had no effect on the pain and I was at my breaking point! I walked into Ashwin's office, highly emotional and told Ashwin I need to quit physical therapy. I was crying and Ashwin ushered me into a room and asked me to fully tell him what was going on. He cared about me! I began to tell him I hurt worse leaving physical therapy, and the pain was worsening each time, and I felt like I was crazy because the doctor wanted to submit me for another epidural. I explained I felt like the doctor didn't see an severe problems and they were appeasing me with another epidural. Ashwin proceeded to calm me down and tell me I wasn't crazy, he had examined my MRIs and X-rays and in his words you are messed up. He knew I was at my breaking point! He said I know of a really good Neurosurgeon, and I will personally not only recommend him, I will also send him your records. At first, I thought okay start over with a new doctor great! He reassured me that if the doctor didn't respond to me with in a week to schedule an appointment he would re-contact him. Needless to say, upon review of my medical records, the Neurosurgeon call me the next day to set up an appointment, I saw him a week later and had surgery less than 2 months later! My back is great and I owe it all to Ashwin! In closing, my family members have seen Ashwin for multiple conditions, for a misdiagnosed meniscus tear, which turned out to be a miss-located knee cap which Ashwin found, to my upcoming father's hip replacement surgery. Ashwin also recommended and found the right doctor for my father as well, after he was at his breaking point! I have an upcoming neck surgery that I will also be using Ashwin's services for post-op therapy as well as my father will also use him for his post-op! Ashwin cares! Ashwin is extremely knowledgeable! If you get a chance to meet him or use his services consider yourself lucky! You will be in the presence of a great mind and hands alike! read more

Ashwin and his team are absolutely unreal! I have been going to Ashwin for ever physical injury I have had in the past 5 years and he some how heals me every time. Sometimes one little adjustment will cure me over night. Of course others times I have to work hard at home too, but he and his team are there to motivate and support me on my journey. I have been an athlete for many years and have had my fair share of injuries and experiences with Physical Therapists. I travel from lake Tahoe to see Ashwin because he is hands down the BEST! Pros: Happy people, clean environment, if they can't fix you they send you to someone who can (which is extremely rare), humble, gentle, effective. read more

They cannot commit to their appointments. My appointments are cancelled twice. If I would have known I could've looked for other facility before the year ends. read more

Excellent knowledgable and caring staff. Highly recommended. After visiting several physical therapists over the years for various injuries and surgical recoveries I can honestly say I that I would rate Ash and his staff at Great Basin as number 1 and at the top of the the list. Hopeful that I will never require PT again. But if I do Great Basin will be my choice. Many thanks to Ash and the rest of his very professional staff. read more

Very knowledgeable, and very helpful. They observe body mechanics and point out things that you don't even know you are doing. They make you feel at ease. They use your own muscles and resistance to help put vertebrae back into alignment. I've had back surgery, so conventional adjustment techniques can't be used on me. Or so the doctor said. I tried non-force adjustments, but they didn't work. This is the way to go-- it's like a chiropractor and a physical therapist rolled into one. read more

I came to Great Basin to meet the Ashwin Datt and the PT staff who are all genuine, kind, and intelligent people. The equipment in the gym was clean and very usable, not a bunch of big old machines. Overall I was very happy with my experience at Great Basin and would highly recommend them to my friends and family. read more

I have never had the necessity of Physical Therapy before but I must say that my experience with Great Basin has been far above anything I expected! The team is amazing. They work together and interact in such a manner that everyone in the place actually seems to enjoy and embrace the experience. I have been working with Jacquline Ovard primarily, she is tremendous, caring and knowledgeable and dedicated! Obviously these individuals are very dedicated and committed to their profession. I completely recommend Great Basin Physical Therapy! It's a pleasure to be there! read more

Ash and the entire team are absolutely fantastic! Gentle but effective. After trying another PT for my broken neck I was referred to Ash. I'll never, ever go to anyone else. I highly recommend them! read more

GBPT has helped me maintain the quality of life I enjoy. Ash and Jacqueline are experts and take your lifestyle into account in your treatment. I am forever grateful to them and all the staff! read more

I had the good fortune to discover Ashwin and Great Basin Physical Therapy a number of years ago when I was recovering from back surgery. He and his Team are literally miracle workers! They have put me back together more times than I can count. Most recently from a very serious motorcycle accident two years ago. There was speculation from the surgeon that I would never walk normally again. Ashwin proved them wrong. When I went back for my last orthopedic check up, the surgeon couldn't believe what he saw. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking experienced, professional and knowledgeable treatment. read more

After seeing another physical therapist for several months, Ashwin was highly recommended to me and I'm so thankful I saw him. He is so knowledgeable and helped me greatly within a short time period. My SI joint situation flares up only rarely now. When it does, Ashwin is able to correct the problem immediately. Ashwin is truly amazing and it's obvious how much he cares about his patients. read more

I have been to other physical therapists over the years but within a week and 3 treatments I was pain free. No one else has been able to produce the same or similar results. These folks saved me from back surgery. read more

I've received the best care from Ashwin and his staff. They are true professionals -- well-trained, very skilled, kind, and dedicated. They have worked hard to keep me and my terrible spine (scoliosis, fusions) mobile and active. I am a 'long-term' patient and I have the highest regard for them. Their office is clean and comfortable, with good equipment, and the team of 'therapy dogs' is very welcoming! read more
