Well, it's been quite a journey with my hand surgery recovery. Coming here for 3 months twice weekly and the last month once a week has helped me beyond my expectations! It has been a roller coaster of pain and frustration ... however, working with Tracy has been fantastic! She is so smart, kind, joyful and quite a brilliant hand therapist... I have been seeing her at 7:30a every session and she is always upbeat and so knowledgeable and supportive. And most importantly, she laughs at my jokes :))) I am grateful to the wonderful people at the front desk ... big shoutout to Sandra. I highly recommend this place and although I am now going to do my therapy at home, I know I can still reach out to Tracy with any questions and she will respond in a timely manner. I will miss every person I have had the pleasure to have met here!!! 5 stars is not enough... my hand is so happy now and so am I!!!!! read more

In just two sessions there I'm feeling relief I haven't felt in two years. Yes, you need to independently follow the program but that's true of any PT, and they'll give you the right tools. Sonia D. and the rest of the team are great. She specifically has been and worked with D1 athletes. As long as you're ready to put in the work, you'll see the benefits. read more

I've been going here for treatment for about the past six months, both for pre-hab before surgery and rehab afterwards. The therapists are kind, extremely attentive and thorough in their review of your needs well before they go through any exercises or routines with you. The reception team is kind, helpful and has the uncanny ability to know everyone's name. I would highly recommend this place! Special shout out to Jason and Courtney who are two of the best PT folks there! Parking is adjacent (next to the building) - not cheap but a small price to pay for the help you're offered at this place. read more

The physical therapy always goes well. The therapist encourages me to move more exercise more and I appreciate that.

Therapists are attentive, concerned, and experts in targeting area of concern. They address issues that improve function, performance in every day life, and watch every move you make! Wonderful facility with wonderful staff! read more

One of the best places. The staff are super nice. The therapist Jean is top notch. She is very caring. Pays attention to the patient. I highly recommend this place . It is also super clean unlike a lot of places where they hardly clean after each patient. Have seen the physical therapy area. Has a great view & is very clean. They are always busy which shows the great quality of care. read more

I have had a very positive experience! My physical therapist is Amir and he is really good at asking questions to figure out how to support me and how I am progressing. He explains what he is doing and why in ways I can understand it. He also wants to see my achieve my goals. He wanted to get my back into dance class as soon as possible, very invested in my overall physical and mental health. I also want to compliment the entire staff. I've worked with Justin, Andy and with student interns (shoutout to Rico) and all of them have shown me care and helped me with my specific technique on my exercises. Friendly, professional and extremely helpful crew here. Thank you! I recommend the entire office and definitely recommend Amir. read more

Let's start this off by saying that I'm so happy I chose this office to do my physical therapy. Susan Fu and her entire team are miracle workers. I enjoyed every session I went to not only because I became stronger but because I was treated like one of the family from day one. The office is very accommodating as well. Front desk is amazing. Marlene does an amazing job at keeping track of all the patients and returning calls. I've never felt like I couldn't get an appointment when I needed one. Plus, the early and late office hours are perfect when your work hours are variable. I highly recommend this office. They gave me plenty of exercises for at home and made sure my appointments were long enough to get all the exercises done! With a complicated case like mine, they were able to address the issues and treat the problem with ease. Appreciate all the help everyone! read more

I've been working with Zach for 5 months now. He has been so great in helping me recover from my back surgery. I've made tremendous progress. Zach is always patient and caring. The first thing he asks when I come in is how am I doing and gauges our plan for that to day specifically to where I am. He also is tremendously knowledgeable. read more

I went for hand PT. Great staff and 2 available certified hand therapists to help with my PT post carpal tunnel surgery. Friendly, easy to schedule appointments. Both were great, but my personal choice would be Monique for her empathy & compassion & willingness to try several modalities, even those outside the box. read more

Hello Dr. Garrett, Diana, I want to thank you for all you did to rehabilitate me after my complicated pelvic break, 8 months on crutches and a THR (Total Hip Replacement.) I am now back taking 3 professional ballet classes and 3 pointe classes, 2 of them privates at Westside School of Ballet per week, thanks to you! I am so grateful to you for understanding my desire to resume ballet and for your skill, knowledge, direction and dedication you gave to me to recover. This was the culmination of 15 years of deterioration of my hip joint after an assault, arthroscopic surgery, a hip resurfacing surgery, a recalled hip resurfacing device causing metalosis, hospitalization, 33 subluxations of my hip joint, a displaced fracture with the resurfacing arthroplasty rotated and anteverted causing pain and suffering and rendering me unable to walk let alone pursue my love and passion, classical ballet. I did not think I would ever be able to walk again let alone dance! You not only had the skill and understanding about how to rehabilitate my body as a dancer but also to address my psychological and emotional pain and to keep me on track, not to 'overdo', like we dancers are wont to do, but stay the steady course! I would also like to thank your director, Susan Fu and your therapists colleagues at Performance Therapy who were very supportive and inspiring to watch in the care and dedication towards all their patients and the care of the PT assistants and staff towards your patients. You are all miracle workers! In addition to five-star therapists I must mention the state of the art facility, with the latest technology, my favorite as you may remember being the Pilates Reformer, the AlterG treadmill and the sheer variety of PT equipment, I call 'toys' to provide many diverse ways to rehabilitate and make it fun! All that and the very highest standard of cleanliness and hygiene! PT works, is marvelous and I would highly recommend Performance Therapy. Thank you Diana, Dr. Garrett, I dedicate my achievements dancing back en pointe to your dedication to my rehabilitation and am eternally grateful to you for making it possible for me to continue to pursue my love and passion, classical ballet. Thank you so very much! Laura Lenée read more

Dr. Jani aka "J.J." is the best physical therapist! I went in for TMJ pain that was causing daily headaches and within a week of treatment my headaches were GONE. I couldn't believe it. After years of having a constant pain in my head, J.J. was able to successfully treat them along with my jaw pain. I started at 3 days a week, then 2 days, then 1 day a week. Eventually we reduced it down to one day every two weeks. I am so, so grateful for the expertise J.J. provided and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for TMJ and headache relief. read more

Performance Therapy is an awesome five-star operation. The facility is leading edge, and is equipped with the latest technology to expedite your recovery. If you're looking for knowledge, skill, and expertise, then this is the place for you. I highly recommend Performance Therapy. I have BCBS insurance, and as an added bonus I do not have to pay the $50 copay with each visit. Performance Therapy is St. John's hospital outpatient physical therapy. This exempts the copay because of the hospital affiliation for my insurance. Jay is an absolute delight at the front desk. And they do validate parking :) read more

I saw Dr. Jhankhana Jani (Dr. JJ) for my physical therapy and she was terrific. I had tweaked my leg from jogging. Dr. JJ did manual therapy and also gave me corrective exercises to help me heal up. She also had me run on a treadmill and filmed it on her cell phone to give me feedback on how to improve my gait from a functional point of view. She was very detailed and made a point of really making sure I understood the exercises and also asked me if I had any other questions. She was excellent! I highly recommend you book her if you need a top-notch physical therapist. read more

Jhankhana Jani "JJ" has been my Physical Therapist since June. Her care healed me from a devastating shoulder surgery. She was absolutely concerned with my health and well being. She brought me from unable to move my are to complete motion. I have worked with "JJ" in the past for another issue. I have always felt stronger after her care. Not only is she a brilliant therapist but a fine human being. One truly knows her expertise while she is helping you to recover. If G-D forbid I have another I jury I would only go to "JJ". When you've gone to the best it's hard to switch! Thank you "JJ" for your loving care and incredible knowledge on getting me back to health ! read more

From the 1st appointment Josh assessed me by observing my walk/gate. He knew what to do. The improvement is significant and at this ratewill not need pain meds i read more

Maximilian is a very good physical therapist. He is empathetic, patient and caring. Meanwhile he is knowledgeable and has excellent treatment skills. Before I started therapy with Max last year, my lumbar problems prevented me from doing many activities, particularly those activities that required me to stand or walk more than 15 minutes. After receiving therapies from Max a month or so, improvements became clear. Now I am able to walk 2 miles everyday, sometimes more than 3 miles. I truly appreciate Max and the assistants, Crystal, Andy, Justin, etc. I highly recommend Providence Performance Therapy Center. It is an unhappy news that Max is moving to Orange county. I wish him lots of success and happiness in his new job! read more

I can't say enough good things about the team at Performance Therapy. Two months ago I had a hip injury that prevented me from running more than 1.5 miles. Last weekend I ran 15 miles in less than 24 hours as part of a relay race. All the credit goes to the folks there. Everyone was incredibly professional. I had the opportunity to get opinions from various team members, which gave me comfort that I was getting a complete evaluation, diagnosis and prescription. The facilities are clean and welcoming, and everyone was very friendly. But most importantly, the rehab worked. They gave me a broad variety of exercises to keep me interested and motivated, and they worked me very hard to get back to being able to run distances again. A big thank you to Nick, Jesse and the rest of the folks at Performance Therapy. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Hands down this is the Best of the Best... creme de la creme when It comes to physical therapy in the Los Angeles area. I've been to a couple of these places but this time I really needed to go somewhere where I feel confident that the physical therapist will do the best job possible for my knee. I arrived and the girls at the front in the reception area have been nothing but professional , sweet and helpful. In fact, they truly listen and know the patients on an individual basis because they know that I prefer my appointments mid day. They DO return the patient's phone calls and on top of that they called me when they had a cancellation for a appointment once that I originally wanted. When I walked into the physical therapy area it was clean, bright, lively and friendly. The techniques they use for the rehabilitation for everyone is very cutting-edge and New. I'm fortunate enough to be Paired with Diana. She knows my individual needs and strengths and weaknesses and works extremely well with it. I like the exercises she gives me . There are some times when I might have to do the last portion of the physical therapy sessions with another physical therapist and they've all been excellent and very attentive. Although Diana might have to tend to another client , she actually still looks over to see what I'm doing and lets me know if I'm doing something with the wrong form. They really do pay attention and care about the patients' well being. I can honestly say I've never heard of a place that actually gives you an amazing work out well , strengthening what needs to be rehabilitated and worked on. Because of coming here , my form has gotten better and my knee is coming along very well. This place is clean and the clients are very respectful of one another's privacy...I did go to a place once before and unfortunately some of the male patients thought it was a meat market and unlike here, it's very respectful and run professionally. The beauty of going to this place is the physical therapists I've met here have sustained an injury in some way and this makes them extremely knowledgeable and understanding of every patients need and desire to be at their best. They are definitely on top of the game and most of all very up-to-date on different tools for each client and machines. Diana has been a godsend and so is the rest of the staff. So if you're looking for a place to go , I strongly recommend here. read more

I was referred to PT treatment for chronic lower back pain and a stubborn right groin area tightness that interrupted by COVID time daily walks. JJ, Jhankhana Jani, received me with what I learned was her MO - smiling eyes, the only facial feature visible above the COVID mask and through the shield, and jovial greeting. JJ proved to be the most positive, encouraging and supportive person through 4 months of therapy. We bonded immediately despite the generational gap between us, and shared experiences while JJ tirelessly worked on improving my conditions. She is a most knowledgable healer of the human body, making connections between seemingly separate body parts, and relentlessly working on releasing my tight tissues. She really cares about her patients, following up sessions with email check ins. I will definitely go back to JJ if I have a future need, and highly recommend her as the best and most amicable therapist. read more

BEWARE: I was misled and it was a very bad experience for me. I went several times per week for physical therapy after major knee surgery. Anthony seemed to be the elder statesman among the physical therapists. He would work on my leg while the other PT's gathered around and Anthony seemed to put on a clinic for them, explaining and demonstrating his techniques. I explained to Anthony that my health insurance would only cover 30 visits per year (and that's with a $30 copay) and that I needed to get the approval from the health insurance for additional visits. Anthony was so smooth and reassuring as he told me that I should worry about getting better and "let us worry about getting the approvals for your insurance." That's what we do all the time, he reassured me. Well I put my trust in Anthony and that turned out to be a huge mistake when the Full customer pay billing statements started coming in for thousands of dollars. Nearly $7,000.00 which went into collections. I really thought that Anthony and the management would do more to work with me on lowering the amounts especially since I was totally misinformed by Anthony. When I asked Anthony, how did this happen? How could you let me get stuck with this bill? He did not have an answer but sounded like he felt bad about the situation, but he did not help in any way. I was told by the billing/accounting department that Anthony had the ability to reduce the rate since it was customer pay and not going through insurance but nothing was done because I was never able to get through to Anthony and he would not even return my calls. This place is too expensive and other places will give you much more for the money. They also charge a high rate for parking which they do not validate. Please go somewhere else! read more

I have been going to performance therapy since February after my ACL reconstruction. I have worked with several therapists who are all great. I have stuck with Jason because he is a great fit for me. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and caring. He gets lots of credit for my progress so far, which has been ahead of schedule. Jason is also very good about following up after sessions and getting feedback on muscle/joint soreness to modify subsequent sessions. He has also shown me quick exercises that I can perform at home on my own time. Overall, I will give my highest possible praise to Jason and the team at performance therapy. I would HIGHLY recommend Jason as a physical therapist. This review is coming from a physician. read more

Performance Therapy is a fantastic PT office. Everyone from the therapists to the front desk staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The facilities and equipment are clean and cutting edge. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Awesome facility and staff This is exactly what I was looking for . Great equipment , great staff , emphasis on pushing hard It also helps that most of the patients are very serious about their therapy. Diana is simply awesome in her knowledge and attention to the patients. read more

My experience at Performance Therapy was extremely disheartening. The first physical therapist I got was very timid, maybe just inexperienced, so I asked for a second therapist, who ended up being Anthony. After the first appointment I came away very excited; it seemed he was knowledgeable and was serious about helping me. At my second visit there was a measurable fall in his interest; by the third visit he was barely paying any attention to what he was doing. I told him "something we did last time really made my pain worse". He didn't even answer me. He started doing a little bit of work on my upper back but (as he had done on the second visit) he engaged with the therapists on either side of me, discussing the stock market and Bitcoin to great extent. So the other therapists were not paying attention to their patients either. Previously they had talked in detail about sports. Anthony tells you to "do 3 sets of 12" of whatever he's prescribing but then walks away or talks with the other therapists, paying zero attention to if you are doing them correctly. When you're done you have to get his attention to come back and tell you what to do next. I have a feeling that if I was a big sports star they would be falling all over themselves to help me, but because I'm just an old woman, they can't be bothered. My therapy, I guess, was interfering with what was really important to them: sports, the stock market, and Bitcoin. What a waste of time and money for me!!!!!!!! read more

Loved my therapist Scott and Mike. They were both very attentive and formulated a rehab plan very specific to my injuries. Techs all fabulous especially Sandra. Sessions always started on time and facility very clean. Thanks Guys for showing me the road to wellness! read more

I had physical therapy earlier this year for hip tendinitis with Lindsey Christian , a most knowledgeable, compassionate and effective physical therapist, and Khalid, a dedicated therapy tech. The facility is immaculate and state of the art , but it is the staff that makes the place exceptional. It was the most positive experience I've had in a physical therapy setting. read more

I have had another session of physical therapy at Performance Therapy and, as before, it was a great experience with Hannah Dove, DPT, who took me through the various routines and exercises. Again she discerned what I was hoping to get back to, my workout pace, was open to suggestions and my quirks (having run a gym decades ago), all the while keeping me on track and ahead of schedule. I cannot recommend this group strongly enough. Everyone's working in the Performance space and you not only have the PT but you're be assisted by the likes of Khalid Stevens who suggested a football as part of my workout which could not have been a better motivator for me, If you are looking to join a "family" in your recovery regimen, this would be the spot. My thanks to Hannah, Khalid, Sandra and the entire Performance team for making me part of their team. read more

After never experiencing any type of physical therapy I was fortunate to be referred to this group of professionals by my doctor after a fall that left me with a fractured knee. I was a little apprehensive going in but I was immediately put at ease by Ben and his staff. Their knowledge and professionalism was outstanding. Ben was very patient and reassured me from the start that I would get better as I had my doubts. We started out slowly and he was very thorough in his explanations of each exercise and how it would help me. It wasn't long before I truly believed he knew what he was doing because it was working. I also had sessions with Matt and Lindsey and I found them to also be very skilled and knowledgeable. And Matt wouldn't let me get away with anything (like slacking off a little) and I appreciated that. I can't say enough for this awesome group of people and feel so fortunate that my doctor recommend them. They know what they're doing. In addition to the professionalism of the therapists, the front desk staff was professional, courteous and very easy to work with. They were very accommodating in scheduling my appointments around my work schedule and for that I am also very appreciative. Jay was especially delightful to work with. I can't say enough about this group and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of physical therapy. read more
