Dr. Sarvar Pathan A Review by a Patient, Dr. Bose Ravenel My perspective for assessing Dr. Pathan's professional and personal competence is the following: I am a recently retired pediatrician after 31 years in private pediatric practice, 11 years in academic pediatric medicine, and culminating in 6 1/2 years practicing Integrative Medicine pediatric consulting. Over my 48 1/2 year career I have been privileged to know and work with a large number of skilled and highly regarded physicians. Dr. Sarvar certainly belongs in this league of health professionals. My wife first saw Dr. Sarvar regarding post-surgery rotator cuff concerns followed by a personalized program to address additional areas after he had started his own practice. I observed from her experience how his approach is so personalized and targeted at specific objectives. Equally important I saw how invested in his patients he is - reflected in a degree of availability rare in these times, as well as outstanding communication. At my wife's encouragement, I decided to have an initial assessment, even though at 82 years of age I was not having any pain or other known physical limitations. My first session proved to be a fascinating experience. Having had a recent minor tennis strain injury shortly before the appointment, he designed a program for stretching tight muscle groups and to engage in active healing for the injury. The results were amazing when at the 30- day follow-up my former 28 cm limit from forward-bending touching the floor had decreased to 12 cm. A subsequent program was designed to promote continued improvement in flexibility and balance, while adding some strength-building. All this was designed to achieve a more functional ability to engage in specific sports activities such as tennis, golf, and trout fishing. He is one of the most engaged, dedicated, and skilled professionals I have ever gotten to know and worked with. His knowledge of anatomy, function, and how to design interventions for patient concerns to reach one's goals for improvement is simply amazing. His personality is delightful and he is the ultimate encourager! I heartily recommend Dr. Sarvar without reservation for any physical therapy and wellness needs.

I needed a Physical Therapist who would travel to my friend's nursing facility and provide top quality therapy to help him recover from a stroke on the left side of his body. Medicaid had given up on him after several months and stopped funding his therapy, leaving him there to waste away and eventually die. I found Dr. Pathan on the internet and after reading reviews, he seemed like a perfect fit. After an initial evaluation, Dr. Pathan said he believed my friend could be rehabilitated such that he could return home. His therapy began 16 months after his stroke and he has been receiving three one hour sessions per week. He also gets instructions for personal rehab exercizes between sessions. His progress in just 3 1/2 months is remarkable. He can now move his left leg, sit unassisted on the side of the bed, stand with the aid of a walker, and he is beginning to walk with the aid of a walker. Because of atrophy, he still has to gain strength in his core and his arm and leg. Dr. Pathan deserves the credit for his progress. He is extremely knowledgeable in physical therapy, paying close attention to details and the condition of the patient as he works. He is caring and compassionate and projects a strong positive attitude which directly influences his patient. I could not be happier with the service he has been providing. read more

Working with Dr TJ McClurg was a wonderful experience in every way! Being fit and active is very important to me. When I started seeing TJ I had been suffering with hip pain which had inhibited my ability to walk for exercise for 2-3 months, as well as interfered with my sleep. TJ did a complete assessment of this problem area, as well as my overall flexibility and strength, and designed an exercise program for me. The exercises were carefully targeted and extremely helpful. However, it was the combination of his skilled hands on work, his positive and encouraging attitude, along with an excellent exercise program that made the difference. I'm so happy to be able to walk for exercise now without pain! Additionally, my overall strength and flexibility has improved in other parts of my body as well--including my hands, shoulders, core, and torso. An unexpected benefit is my ability now to cook a special meal in the kitchen for extended periods of time without the aches and pains which had inevitably cropped up in the past. In a time when medical care has become so impersonal, it was totally refreshing and healing to experience the personalized and caring treatment I received from TJ. read more

The name has it right. Dr. Pathan provides "PERSONALALIZED" physical therapy. Finally, someone got the model right. When you go to Dr. Pathan, you are looked at as an individual to get to the root cause of your issue. And then also to find a remedy. After several other therapists gave me no relief and made me feel like it was my fault that I was not getting better, Dr. Pathan diagnosed me correctly and went to work helping me relieve chronic shoulder, neck and upper back pain that left me so tight that some days it was hard to turn my head. He does these 4 things just right: 1 - ASKS lots of great questions to diagnose "your" issue(s) - and LISTENS to your answers 2 - EDUCATES you about the problem and the solution 3 - GUIDES you in the therapy needed with personal attention and communication (he will answer you if you text or email him with a question - what? Who does that?) 4 - Doesn't just follow protocol - instead treats "your" issue, adjusting therapies as needed PERSONALIZED Physical Therapy is out there - you just found it. read more

Over the last few months I have had the pleasure of working with Sarvar. I came to him broken unable to move the way I used to. I couldn't do every day activities like running the vacuum, dusting the house, and planting flowers that I so love to do. I have always been active, an athlete most of my life so not being able to do these activities without pain was heartbreaking. As of today, Sarvar has helped me reduce my pain levels and given me the mobility and flexibility so I can touch my toes, walk all the way around the block, and we are working on reclaiming my athletic skills. I've also lost a little weight along the way. My next goals are to be able to hit a golf ball and tennis ball with no pain and I have no doubt that Sarvar will get me to that point. I would recommend Physical Therapy tailored to your specific needs for everyone and I would recommend contacting Sarvar specifically as he is kindhearted, listens to your needs, and respects you as a person. read more

My experience working with Personalized Physical therapy and wellness, has been wonderful! I was first impressed by how carefully and intelligently my condition was evaluated, then each of my concerns fully addressed.

It is obvious that Dr. Pathan cares deeply for each person he works with, and is passionate about helping them achieve their optimum potential. I have made a huge amount of much progress following his protocol, and I look forward to making even more! I can't recommend Personalized Physical Therapy and Wellness enough!

Working with Dr. Sarvar Pathan has been a 5 star experience. His business name says it all. PERSONALIZED care has been provided at each and every physical therapy session. His care is totally individualized for my specific needs. He listens carefully and intently to my feedback from between sessions and requests specific reports on how my exercise routines and progress have been. He makes his plan for next moves based on my feedback. He kept the pace of progress with me going and without overdoing the exercises! He is a very positive person and has helped me meet the goals I brought to him at our first consultation! I highly recommend Sarvar! Pollyann read more

I had rotator cuff surgery in February of 2018, and developed a frozen shoulder before my appointment with Dr. Sarvar. When I met him, he told me he loved to work on shoulders because he could FIX them and that is exactly what he did. I found Dr. Sarvar to be very professional, extremely knowledgeable and caring. He has an engaging, reassuring and gentle manner with patients, never wanting his patients to experience undue discomfort during their PT sessions! I left each session feeling encouraged and wanting to do exactly what he said because I trusted him completely. I will always be grateful to Dr. Sarvar. Susan Ravenel read more

Having worked with Sarvar in person and on FaceTime for 8 months, I can say that I have never had a more knowledgeable, patient, dedicated physical therapist. He takes the time to probe into exactly what is going on with my body each time we meet in order to tailor the session to how I am feeling THAT day. He has coordinated with my orthopedist, a massage therapist, and a trainer. During that time, I have made progress that I never believed possible with a tear in my rotator cuff. Serious, non-judgmental and positive, he can also be very entertaining. He's the BEST!! I highly recommend him and his team approach! read more

Dr Pathan is AWESOME! Started working with him to address long term knee and lower back pain due to sports injuries and multiple surgeries. Within a few weeks of therapy my back is stronger and I now have entire days with no knee pain. The flexibility and diversity of the therapy sessions have been great. Dr Pathan is very attentive to the various issues going on in with the body during our sessions and works to prevent further injury and strengthen the supporting areas. His bedside manner is extremely professional. He's very kind and incredibly encouraging. I wish I would have met him 10 years ago! read more

I tore the ACL and meniscus in my knee and came to see Dr. Pathan to postpone/avoid surgery. He took the time to really evaluate my condition, explain what was going on, and come up with a plan to help strengthen the muscles to increase my range of motion and mobility. In a month, I have gained back much of my mobility and have been able to even start working out on a regular basis again. For the first time in months, I have hope that I can move around without limping or needing to keep a cane in my car "just in case." I would highly recommend Personalized Physical Therapy and Wellness! read more

I've seen lots of physical therapists, orthopedists, and chiropractors over the last 8 years since I tore my rotator cuff twice. Never have I had an evaluation as thorough as the one I received from PPTW. I feel like we implemented a plan that will keep me pain free and active for years to come. TJ was fabulous. I have motion in my shoulders that I probably have not had in 30 years. I could not recommend him or the practice enough. I really feel like TJ cared about me and fixing the source of my problems and not just the symptoms. read more

Fourteen months after my husband's stroke, he had made very little physical improvement and was receiving no PT at the "nursing and PT" facility where he currently resides. It was at that time that we were introduced to Dr Sarvar Pathan. Since that time (six months ago), my husband has made vast improvements. Sarvar has worked diligently with David to help him learn to adapt to his limitations and accomplish things in spite of them. He is caring, empathetic, very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to help David reach his goals. read more

Having chronic joint issues, I envisioned a PT expert who could help me move through life with less joint pain, educating me along the way in how to best prevent further injury and maintain what I have. Working with Dr. Sarvar Pathan has been a huge gift as he has extra-ordinary skills. In 2 months I have less pain and greater mobility - back to golf! He educates as he works giving me skills going forward. He is highly professional and supports me in every goal I set for myself. I highly recommend his expertise. Lila Cruikshank read more

A friend recommended Dr. TJ after I had a hip replacement. Best recommendation ever!! I had a lengthy evaluation one appointment and he designed exercises for me that addressed my weaknesses! Every appointment is one on one and we don't just do the same exercises I am doing at hone! He evaluates my progress and changes the exercises accordingly! SO IMPRESSED with the personal care!!! (And the knowledge of assessing my progress!!) Being a Titleist performance therapist, he has addressed my golf game!! YAH!! Highly recommend!!!! read more

After appointments with three doctors, including an orthopedist, over a two month period, pain in my left knee persisted. My wife, a client of Sarvar's, highly recommended him. Almost immediately, he diagnosed the issue of my knee being out of alignment. After only a couple of sessions, I began to feel improvement. Following Sarvar's instructions of strengthening and stretching exercises over a six week period, my knee was completed healed. Thanks to Sarvar, I'm playing tennis again 3-4 times per week! read more

My experiance with Personalized Physical Therapy &Wellness was excellent. I had such severe pain in my back and by working with me to strengthen the necessary muscles was able to eliminate my pain. I am very grateful for their knowledge and professionalism in what they do. Not one time did I ever question why, because they always explained to me how every move helped in my recovery. read more

I couldn't be happier with service I have received so far. Dr. Pathan is caring and takes the time to explain what is going on in the body and why the exercises and therapies performed are beneficial.
