If you're looking for a PHENOMENAL physical therapist, you're in the right place! This is coming from someone who has had physical therapy treatment for over 20 years, most of which was ineffective and a waste of time and money. Some even made me worse than when I first went to them! Most recently in August I had major surgery; double lumbar fusion and a double cervical disc replacement. So I really needed to find a good therapist. I first tried a place I had frequented previously and unfortunately they were making me feel even worse post surgery so it was a godsend that I found and switched to Lennartz & Scherr! This review is for both PATRICK (Lennartz) and JOEL (Scherr). When I began going to Lennartz & Scherr, I first had Joel as my therapist, who is incredible! In less than three weeks he made me have less pain than any kind of physical therapy I had prior to this. He is the most wholesome person you will ever meet and truly cares about his patients. And speaking of wholesome and great, Patrick is equally incredible! I recently switched to having him as my main Physical Therapist and he is simply amazing! Joel is his mentor so I feel very safe and confident under his care. Patrick is very talented and truly knows what he's doing, and just like Joel, he really cares about his patients. They recently moved into beautiful new offices conveniently located in the heart of Beverly Hills. The 2 hour Free Parking structure is located off of Beverly or Canon. And you just pop in the elevator and go straight to the 2nd floor where they are located. A big shout out to the wonderful staff of Bobby, Damaris, Worthy and Alexis. They're just as helpful, personable and always have a smile on their faces. My only regret is that I wish I had discovered them over 15 years ago. If I had, they may have actually prevented me from needing back surgery, because of how good they are! I'm relieved that I will never have to look for another Physical Therapist ever again! read more

Like this new place a lot better. The owner or Owners Representative of the last building they were at is a jack***, he was yelling at my pt very loudly over ac issues while i was in a session and he was very disrespectful not sure whats his deal was. Patrick, Joel, Bobby, and staff are amazing always. They have helped me with all my issues and I appreciate all the kind words and support they offer. Makes a difference and i see the difference and progress i have made. If you need a PT come by and check them out. read more

I had been with this PT CLINIC for 20+years from Dr Scherr as I have a congenital scoliosis. So from Dr Scherr to Dr Lenartz Patrick, whom, l more than equally love. Now that Dr Scherr retired, he was able to replace himself a very knowledgeable Physical Therspist, who is in addition to an excellent therapist, nobody can beat his innermost qualities; patient, golden healing voice, and just one touch you get instantly well. His amazing treatments are endless and to him, we as patients come first. I'd been to many other PTs when I first came to America almost 50 years ago, I find Dr Patrick Lenartz as a gifted Physucal Therapist from my God. He is the PT among all PTs in this world. The Best! And very caring and he knows his stuff. read more

Hands down the best physical therapy to recover from a car accident. I learned so much, too - from using weights correctly to how to correct my posture. Cannot recommend them enough! read more

I've been getting physical therapy often on for many years after I've had several surgeries. I came in with a frozen shoulder that I was lacking mobility in and after several months of treatment, I have complete range of motion back and completely pain-free. Dr. Patrick Lennartz is amazing And takes all the time to take care of you. I can't recommend them enough. read more

See all

Thank you thank you after only 4 weeks of treatment I can move my shoulder with freedom and no pain. Patrick Lennartz was kind, knowledge and got exactly to the point of pain. The office staff was wonderful always available and helpful. Everything was always on time. Great experience read more

I got to spend about 10 minutes with the physical therapist and that seemed to be mostly talking. 15 minutes of electric stimulation - no medical efficacy proven- 10 minutes of ice, 10 minutes of exercise. My last visit I got left in the treatment room and was given no where to go, not one helped me . The floor was empty so after about five minutes I left, after 1/2 hour of any sort of treatment. No one seemed to notice or followed up with me. read more

Some times I feel so good that I don't need to go, but I want to go because of the amazing staff - Joel, Bobby, Worthy (not sure if I'm spelling right)....Great team - funny, caring, patient, and most importantly - KNOWLEDGABLE read more

I got into a 3 way car accident earlier this year in my smart car (of course I was the car in the middle - ouch). I was all out of sorts for a while and eventually lucked into Joel's office where the bad luck finally came to an end. Though it wasn't a fast process (to my work's dismay), it took seconds of being treated here that I was in more then capable hands. Joel is a fantastic doctor who explains everything, doesn't mind questions, is very easy to communicate with and truly cares about his patients. This is also reflected on his entire staff from the assistants to the receptionists, all of whom personalize your experience, are always willing to help, and make you feel welcome during every appointment. I've been to a few PT offices in my day and most of them seem to treat you like cattle. Fortunately this office does just the opposite and puts your recovery and sanity first. I am happy to report that I am feeling much better these days and it's all thanks to my amazing experience with this particular office. I highly recommend Joel Scherr and his team to everyone looking for a quality physical therapist. read more

Snapped a Quad muscle playing tennis and needed to strengthen my leg! Doctors would not operate, and repair. Orthopedic Dr told me I had 3 more muscles left in my quad, so I had no choice but to rehab. Joel was great and he is very encouraging. His assistant Bobby is a great wing-man too. The positive attitude that prevails there is super helpful! (great bedside manners) My wife is currently going to Joel's clinic for rehab of her shoulder and she too raves about how effective the therapy is at Joel's clinic. (the staff as well are very friendly and go the extra mile to meet any concerns) Btw, if you like to laugh, Joel will amuse you with his sense of humor, but just know that he is also very serious about restoring you to your optimum state of recovery!! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Scherr and Bobby for physical therapy. They are very knowledgeable, professional and supportive. Their staff is excellent as well and the location is convenient. People come to see them for help with their back, knees, ankles, shoulders, etc. In my case, it was for physical therapy on a knee. Improvement came quickly. In many cases, I think their physical therapy is a better alternative than surgery. read more

I was referred to Joel after a car accident. Joel is super knowledgeable and his staff are very efficient and professional. The modalities have helped a lot with my pain management. The kind and courteous staff takes great care to oversee the exercises and workouts to make sure I'm always performing them with proper form and movements. Great all-around PT experience. read more

This review is not about the physical therapist, but of their awful billing department. At first I thought they were just incompetent, but now I feel they might be predatory. I've been a patient at one of their branches for years now and am happy with my treatment. I always paid my co-pay ($30) every time I went into the office and everything was fine. One day, I get a random extra bill in the mail from their billing department for $55. So I checked in with the office the next time I went in for treatment. They told me it was a mistake and cleared me. Said I could ignore the bill. But ever since then, the billing department hasn't stopped sending me the same bill every month, even though I've been cleared of it EVERY TIME I GO IN FOR TREATMENT. This has been going on for almost a year now. I've talked to the billing department numerous times, they've called to harass me while I was at work, and have threatened to send this into collections. The last time I spoke with someone in the billing department, they told me that they would fix it and that they wouldn't contact me anymore about payment. Well guess what... I just talked with the billing department today 9/4/2020, and they said I still owed $55! I wanted to write this review because I have no idea how many other people they are taking advantage of with their predatory billing practices. A lot of physical therapy patients are the elderly and I can see how repeated threatening bills and phone calls like this might cause them to just pay the extra amount to make them stop. This is NOT OK! And if you're a patient getting random bills from them, make sure you double check everything before just paying it. read more

After slipping 2 lower disks and injuring my hip I found my way to Joel via a recommendation from my neurologist. In the past I have seen many physical therapists that were only concerned about billing my insurance and not helping the injury. I have to say, Joel is a gem, the REAL DEAL!! I have been seeing him for 9 months and I have really improved tremendously. Five Stars to Joel, Bobby and his team!! read more

I have been seeing Joel since September he is by far the best physical therapist I have seen. Trust me I have seen a lot of them. As an NSW (Naval Special Warfare) Operator for the past 11 years in Coronado California I have had multiple knee surgery's bulged disks in my neck and back, shoulder issues the list just goes on. I have seen over 10 physical therapists in the past 11 years. Joel and his team are by far the best I have been to. Super professional and he cares about the Patients. He will make sure he does everything he can to get you back to normal. From the first day I seen Joel and his team in September til now I have made a complete 180. I feel great I am getting back to my normal self again. If you're looking for a physical therapist that is extremely knowledgeable and cares about you look no further Joel is the one to see. Don't just take my word on it try it out I promise you won't regret your decision. read more

Dr. Joel Scherr and his team were the best thing that could've happened to me after my car accident if I can put it that way. They all are very patient and understanding, and they know exactly what they're doing. They take very good care of you and make you feel welcomed. I got back on my feet and I thank them a lot for that. Of course it is better to be and stay healthy, but if you do need therapy at one point this is the place to go!! I will miss my appointments, but I shall return with cookies and cakes as a friend :) read more

No one likes to be in the pain that necessitates physical therapy....But if you have any type of foot injury, Joel Scherr & his wonderful team is the place to go. In addition to the treatment... Joel and his staff taught me how to walk correctly so I hopefully won't have to come back. But if I do, Joel is the man. Very compassionate and a real mensch to boot. If you get a chance, talk to him about his love & knowledge of travel & sports!! read more

Lennartz and Scherr Physical Therapy - Great comfortable waiting room! - Physical Therapy Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I highly recommend Joel Scherr for excellent physical therapy care. He is knowledgeable, patient and very caring. He has a great crew working with him, as well. From the front office, Dee and Jessica are very welcoming and sweet! Joel would spend as much time as necessary with each visit, and then I would proceed to the work-out room with Bobby, who would patiently lead me through the exercises. Great location, clean offices and easy to make appointments. Definitely a 5 Star physical therapy office! read more

Over billed and wouldn't correct. Staff informed me after full insurance check that there was only a 30 dollar copay. 4 months after I stopped going there, suddenly coinsurance bills showed up. The staff misinformed me about how they would bill my insurance to get me in the door, then sent me bills after I stopped going there. When I asked several times about my bills and insurance, I was told the copay was all that I was to pay. I would have never come here if I knew it was like this. The PT also asked me about my doctor and wanted me to refer him so he could get new patients, which I did being a nice guy that I am. Now the staff backstabs me and wants more money. Stay away. read more

Joel and his staff were incredible! They worked wonders on my neck and even gave me tips on how to better my posture. The office was great and comfortable for my treatments. His staff was always friendly and on time as well. read more

Great experienced physical therapists Got me walking and back to normal after major back surgery Great instruction in the gym in an upbeat environment I recommended highly LS read more

I was referred to Joel Scherr by my neurologist after I was hospitalized due to a serious disc herniation injury. I was in so much pain that I couldn't sit up right for more than a handful of minutes and wasn't able to drive my car or walk for more than a couple of blocks at most. Now I'm thrilled to report that I am not only pain-free, but I am also back to exercising and hiking after just a mere 11 sessions of PT. All of the staff members are really great and everyone I have worked with has been incredibly nice and accommodating. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a physical therapist! read more

I have been going to Joel and his staff for about 8 weeks following a re-surgery medial replacement due to an infection. From that came other conditions such as neck issues, hack issues, and ongoing post herpatic neuralgia. And he as been treating all of them in different ways. Thankfully, I can see light at the end of the tunnel. He is very knowledgeable about human physiology and is very caring. His staff are all very professional and it is a pleasure to go into his office where you get one on one attention. Thumbs Up! read more

Joel Scherr first treated me in 2001 and gave me great medical care. Seventeen years later I needed PT after surgery and so returned to receive his excellent physical therapy. Joel provides honest, no-nonsense, quality medical treatment. With more than 30 years experience, Dr. Scherr handles any and all PT conditions with great caring, good humor, and complete effectiveness. You could not find a better physical therapy professional than him. read more

As someone who's had four surgeries and attended physical therapy many more times than that across three states, I feel uniquely qualified to judge a physical therapy practice on its merits. And I can say without hesitation that Joel Scherr Physical Therapy provided me with the most outstanding, personalized treatment I have ever received. Aside from helping me rehab to 100% strength, which I've struggled to achieve for many years, Joel and his staff also helped me to overcome the psychological trauma that my injuries have created. The individual treatment rooms are an added bonus, and one can expect to receive personal care from Joel during each and every session. Undoubtedly, the time I spent there has helped me round a corner and set me on a path for a better, healthier life. If you are rehabbing from an injury, do not think twice about putting your trust in Joel and his staff. read more

Do not hesitate to go to Joel Scherr's Physical Therapy! Joel and his staff are incredibly compassionate and friendly. I have been struggling with chronic back pain for two years, and after my first session with Joel, I walked out of his office feeling like a brand new person! Joel has given me the tools to strengthen my body, learn body awareness, and manage my pain. From his excellent treatment, curiosity, investigative mind, and ability to connect, you know where you stand immediately and what the next steps look like. It's rare to find a physical therapist that combines personal touches, care for a patient, and outstanding quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming his patient! read more

Great service, professional people, clean facilities. Sylvia was amazing! I'm leaving the place feeling much better and knowing that they took care of me in the best possible way Thank you again!! read more

This physical therapist office stands out from all the others! The staff are one of a kind starting from the front desk to the assistants to the amazing Dr Scherr. You get treated like your the only one there and not just another patient. And he will always make sure you feel somewhat better before you leave. Definitely recommend him to everyone. read more

I'm impressed with Joel's knowledge and caring. Occassionally, I need rehab on my arm from an old injury. Joel is very competent as a physical therapist. He is generous with his time and makes me feel like a person, not a number. I believe that making money is secondary for Joel. He takes his job seriously and is truly a gentle, kind, caring person. The office is pleasant. The staff communicates well with me. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I always feel treated well and professionally. I've been his patient for over 15 years. He has always been good. I have also recommended him to my family and friends. read more

Joel Scherr and his staff are amazing. Joel's dedication, passion, and commitment to assisting one with their recovery is second to none. Its nearly impossible to find a place in LA where one as a patient is heard and feel they are in great hands. I trust Joel and his team 100% with my recovery. I couldn't be happier nor more blessed. Please look no further and see Joel for your recovery needs. read more

SInce moving to LA 10 years ago, I've been to 12 physiotherapists and chiropractors for an ongoing shoulder issue that no one was able to treat, but of course they were all happy to charge me for their failure. It took Joel Scherr a few minutes to identify my problem, and after massaging life into a few rock-solid muscles, relief swept over me. My pain levels went from 7-8 to 0-1 immediately. The treatment rooms are excellent and the staff are a delight but, quite frankly, I wouldn't care if they all growled at me. I'm cured!!!! read more

Joel is the best. He has years of experience and knowledge that some younger therapists I've seen dont have. Their rates are super reasonable and everyone is nice and helpful. Its always easy to make an appointment and they are very accomdating should you need to reschedule. If you have the choice, choose this place. read more

Silvia is the best physical therapist I have worked with. I have had neck and shoulder problems for 15 years. I have seen a few therapists before that actually might have made it worst. Silvia is very knowlegeable, kind and does not rush. She is very attentive and does everything necessary to get you well. After about a year after her treatments, my neck is still doing good and has its maximum range of motion, thanks for the great excercises she gives to take home. Some that I have never hear from other therapists. I highly recommend Silvia ! read more

Joel and his team are terrific including D, Worthy and Alexis. I hurt my neck in a car accident and was in a lot of pain and discomfort. Joel has personally worked with me on my rehab and my pain has decreased over the months of treatments and I'm feeling so much better. Joel cares about me as a patient and I highly recommend choosing his office for all your therapy needs. read more

I was seeing Joel and his team for over 3 months due to a serious broken ankle. Joel is really caring and compassionate. He took the time to listen to my issues and pains. He was also fabulous in communicating with my surgeon on my progress. Joel knew the right balance of pushing me to improve while be conscience of my pain level. They spent significant time mobilizing my ankle and then working with me in the gym so I could regain my strength and balance. Jeannette at the front desk was very helpful with my appointments and billings. She always greeted me with a big smile and was very friendly. I don't think I would have seen so much improvement without him. It was definitely worth the drive from the SGV. read more

I went in to this Physical Therapy office with a bad back and walked out feeling great. Joel, who's name is on the door, worked on me, and although it was a little uncomfortable during, I walked out feeling great. The office staff is great and friendly too. I have been advised to come on 2 times a week, and I will do so with pleasure. read more

I highly recommend this physical therapist. Joel was extremely attentive to my back issue and spent a good amount of time with me during each visit treating me and offering suggestions on how to improve my strength at home and at work. I was very impressed at how much he remembered from our past discussions about my condition each time I went in. He really seems to care and want to improve your quality of life. The office is very clean, and offers a pretty view of Beverly Hills in the exercise area. I hope I don't need PT in the future, but if so, I know exactly where to go! read more

Joel is a great physical therapist. He and his team helped me come back from a pretty bad broken ankle. Of course, you do most of the work. They teach you the exercises, make sure your technique is solid, etc. But the good news is that if you listen and work hard, you can actually perform better than before. I know I'm running/walking better than I did before. The treatment is also excellent. Joel listens and works hard to make sure you're making progress. Can't recommend him enough! read more

Dr. Joel Scherr's office is fantastic. Within the past 2 years I went for 2 stints of 2-3 months a time, 2-3 days a week, to rehab 2 achilles tendon ruptures (different feet). Both times through Joel, Bobby, and the rest of his staff did a phenomenal job rehabilitating my legs back to regain strength, control, mobility, flexibility, and athletic use. They are tenured and excelled at meeting my needs in knowing how hard to push myself without going to far, using a variety of techniques depending on my soreness and what point I was in the rehabilitation process. I appreciated their attention and successful rehabilitation. Exactly 1 year from my tear, I just completed a half marathon and could not have hoped to be here without their direction, counsel, and treatment. read more

I was lucky enough to get Joel through an authorization with the VA. The professionalism, attention to detail and care provided go above and beyond what one would expect. I will recommend Joel to friends and family and return, should I ever need to. Thank you and your staff for everything you have done! read more
