I have a torn rotator cuff and probably frozen shoulder. The surgery recommended is absurd - outpatient but eight months of oppressive recovery. Pass. PT was my only hope. When I started at Nova, I couldn't even put a shirt on without crying and swearing, and sleep was poor. My headspace was bad. So I needed both effective physical care and supportive emotional care. I got both at Nova. Dr. Kev, Izzy, and Autumn were my main care team. I adore these people. Kev constantly assessed and amended my routine to aid recovery, and encouraged me to keep working at home. But when I got wonky, he also provided gentle but authoritative nudges to get me back on track. Additionally, he's a real good guy and a hoot to talk with. Izzy and Autumn keep the busy practice running smoothly, pay good attention to everyone, and are absolutely delightful people. While the other team members weren't as involved with my care specifically, it was obvious every time I was there that it's a wise, collaborative, happy crew. Today was my last session. I can cough without crying, get dressed without screaming, put on a seat belt normally, and am getting back into working out. The extent to which Nova helped me can't be exaggerated; it is substantial. And I am extremely grateful. Less important but good to know: parking is good in the lot and on the street, and there's a Randy's Donuts right there (blueberry glazed is a good post-sesh reward). If you're in pain, you'll be in great hands at Nova Physical Therapy. read more

I cannot recommend Nova Physical Therapy highly enough! I have been going here for about six weeks for severe radiculopathy in my neck, and it has been a complete game-changer. After weeks of pain, I am finally getting the relief I so desperately needed. From day one, the experience has been amazing. The entire staff is incredibly welcoming, and the doctors are exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled. Their slogan is "We Care," and I can honestly say they live up to that promise every single day. If you are looking for dedicated, compassionate, and effective physical therapy, this is absolutely the place to go! read more

This physical therapy facility is great. Everyone treats you with kindness and respect. Just enough space to do your exercises. They're working on my shoulder and they have encouraged my recovery enough that I'm already feeling better. Definitely, a place I would use again. They do have a NoShiw penalty that increases with times however because they do run out of appointment they must utilize their right to do that. But quality care for sure. Their front office is not very fancy and their receptionist is not a ball of sunshine but it works because everyone is very casual and caring. read more

The team at Nova are a professional, and welcoming. I have a frozen shoulder with a couple of tears and they worked with me these past few months to regain my strength and mobility of my arm. Thank you Nova! I definitely recommend them. read more

this place is awesome! Been coming for quite a while and only just now realizing to check in on yelp. They've gotten me through too many surgeries and several spinal procedures.. Walking & moving a lot better because of them... Prayerfully on my way to running again soon :) thank you Dr. Stephan, Dr. Kev, Pearl, Autumn, Issie, Mariam, Jojo, Diego, Daniel and all who have been a part of my health recovery journey.. y'all are literally the best Love this office and the quality of care you each give! read more

Nova Physical Therapy - Sports Medicine Near Me - North Hollywood, California

See all

Today was my first visit to this clinic, and - experience was awesome. The staff is absolutely amazing, cheerful, very professional and courteous. From the front-desk staff (Pearl, Maria), to physicians (Kevork), to therapists (Autumn) -- everyone gets a well-deserved 5 stars. The staff also pays close attention to the patient indivdiual situation, problems, and issues, -- which is much appreciated. Keep up the great work, guys! read more

The best attitude and skill level of any pt office I have ever seen. The entire team is engaged in helping patients. Highly recommend.

I love these people. They care and give you tools for continuing at home. Would definitely come here again. Love Kevork.

I've had only three sessions so far at Nova Physical Therapy, and I already feel such a big difference! My lower and upper leg pain has improved so much, and I'm moving easier every day. Stepan, my physical therapist, is amazing -- he's very knowledgeable, patient, and really tailors each session to what I need. Scheduling is easy, I get a reminder 24 hours prior. All staff is helpful. I'm so glad I found this place -- highly recommend! read more

I went in and the PT (or maybe she was an aid?) was actively sick and unmasked. She kept looking at us guilty, other PTs had masks and the receptionist said they were all sick within the week. Other patients were remarking how actively sick this person looked, she even kept verbally saying she was sick. Very sketchy vibe. Makes me think they are trying to at worst cover up a Covid outbreak, and at best just get me sick and not care about my health. It was also insanely overcrowded, I could smell people's breath. I am weary of coming back. I don't know how much I trust a medical professional who is actively sick. Edit- Stephan is lying in his response, that woman was actively sick. lol. read more

Eh eh eh-they get you in and out but nothing stellar about it, the younger ones don't seem to know what they're doing but Kevork is very helpful and really cares read more

Had a good experience. The therapists and staff were professional and friendly. Strongly recommend.

10 stars the team works so well together at Nova they are helping me heal. I couldn't walk three months ago. I have two bone spurs in my right foot and was completely helpless. Basically they have trained my foot to work again to work around the spurs and to take the inflammation down with exercise and therapy. I highly recommend this place. They do good work there. They're all Very gifted thank you Ricky. read more

Nova Physical Therapy was recommended to me by a friend, and I'm really glad I went. I had lower back pain, and the therapist explained everything clearly. After just a few sessions, I already started seeing great improvement. The staff is super friendly and easy to work with, and the place is clean. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it. read more

The staff is very nice They are just poorly trained and managed. A physical therapist should not be about shoving as many patients into a time slot as possible and having the aids manage 2+ people. They give you an exercise, never check if you're engaging the proper muscles, don't directly monitor you, just stand at their desks and wait for you to be ready for the next one. The muscle work the dr does, if he's not 20 minutes behind and you actually get to see him, is a massage gun and maybe 2 minutes of stretching. I had 3 appointments trying to give them a chance but I asked my doctor to send me somewhere else For anyone in network: i recommend OSS PT above all else read more

I often forget to take the time to post when an establishment is superior. So I want to rectify that and recommend Nova. I went here for a number of months recently to help heal a shoulder injury. Everyone on the staff is incredible. They are knowledgeable and care about their patients. My shoulder definitely improved and the process was very positive. I wholeheartedly recommend Nova. read more

Outside of a vibration machine that most gyms have and some very light stretching that accomplished nothing I can't say I got much out of it. read more

First off I want to say that the staff at Nova is very professional and friendly.

Came to Nova with really bad back and shoulder pain after carrying my chunky newborn. I don't know what Dr. Stepan did, but I was out and about after 2 sessions and my pain was all gone! His whole team was amazing and extremely helpful. Dr. Stepan was patient and explained everything every step of the way. I will definitely refer this practice to my new mommy friends who might suffer from aches and pains. read more

Very grateful for their knowledgeable, professional, and friendly staff. I wish all healthcare facilities would provide the passionate care that Nova does. read more

I came to Nova Physical Therapy with spinal stenosis, crippled with excruciating pain 9"on my neck and arm and Dr. Stepan with so much care and patience and his healing powers helped me with physical therapy after a few sessions made the pain go away!

Don't hesitate to call them as I can attest to the quality of their service. read more

My experience with Nova has been a very good one. Dealing with chronic neck pain made feel hopeless, but all that changed once I started getting treated here. After several therapy visits, I am now pain free, able to work at my desk job, and play the piano like I used to. Dr Kevork and Dr Stepan are very knowledgeable and caring individuals. I highly recommend this facility to anyone dealing with pain. read more

An empathetic health care practitioner, Dr. Kevork and his friendly staff must be credited with helping me to fully restore function in my right arm after several back-to-back surgeries. Dr. Kevork, who radiates grace and kindness, is always positive and upbeat, and his enthusiasm energizes me and my motivation level to tackle various strengthening exercises - with fun and laughter! He genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients, and whenever I finish a PT session, I feel invigorated and optimistic about my progress. It has been a great pleasure to be under the care of such a courteous, respected, and professional Doctor of Physical Therapy who provides optimal care for his patients, and I'll miss this facility when my physical therapy concludes this summer! The name "Nova" - which means bright "new star" - aptly epitomizes this facility as a source of bright light in its community. read more

This place is amazing, everyone is friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a physical therapist, this is your place!!

Had an amazing experience here! Came out feeling like a new person, shoutout to all the staff very friendly and attentive.

Called a few weeks ahead of time and made an apt only to be turned away. They didn't clarify they expect a physician referral (even if your insurance doesn't require one). What a waste of my time read more

Just wanted to write a quick review for Nova Physical Therapy. I brought my son here after an elbow dislocation injury. Full disclosure, Nova was the second PT office we tried for this injury. At the first office, my son made some progress and plateaued. At that point he was told that there will be another 3 months before he makes full recovery, which was a little too long, all things considered. We switched to Nova, where Stepan (and the rest of the crew) took over his physical therapy care. Within 3 weeks, my son had full range of motion in his elbow, and was able to slowly return to playing competitive sports. It's not about fast and quick results. It's about being confident enough to know how to push the patient without hurting them, and to expedite their recovery. Everyone here is so caring - from Pearl at the front desk, to Diego, who is everyone's right hand, and to the 2 doctors, Stepan and Kevork. They really listen to patient concerns. Added bonus, it's a really laid back and fun environment. I highly recommend Nova Physical Therapy. read more

The staff at Nova from the front desk, to the assistants, to the therapists, are all very friendly, kind, and professional. The facility is clean and bright, and my appointments always ran on time. Special shout out to Daniel who kept me honest with my exercises and Kev who oversaw my treatment plan and is magic with a Theragun. And finally, funny story -- I showed up at 8 am this morning after a misunderstanding about my final appointment date, and to make up for the unnecessary trip, they insisted on making me a coffee for the road. I was handling emails on my phone while I waited, totally oblivious to the fact that Stepan, realizing they had no to-go cups, literally RAN TO BUY SOME so they could make good on their offer! I can't promise you that you'll get a beautiful espresso out of the deal like I did, but I can tell you you'll be well taken care of. Thanks to you all at Nova! read more

Very nice people who bring a warm and welcoming environment. Going there brought a smile to everyone's face all while completing the necessary treatments to feel better. read more
