In rehab for pinched nerve and back surgery. The physical therapist team at Select Physical Therapy is great. They are empathetic, clear in their instructions and patient. I've got a ways to go in my recovery but I feel I am in really good hands. read more

I have to update my review to factor in the horrific billing process. Be aware that the billing is handled out of Pennsylvania, where they are scheming to milk your insurance company. Here in Pennsylvania, they will add new charges for things like hot and cold packs, which were supposed to already be included in your service and paid for by insurance. Then, once your insurance company denies these charges, your case is basically held in suspended air for months, where you are unable to close out your account and pay off any of your bills. Any inquiries about your account then triggers a whole new process, where Pennsylvania resubmits all of your claims again for review by your insurance. Meanwhile the local office here is helpless, so are you, and the local manager does not respond to a request to talk. Good luck dealing with all this. read more

A couple months ago I fractured my shoulder. When it was time for PT I was handed a list of PT services & locations. I'd been to many locations and saw Select. Should I give it another chance? I'd given it two stars last review because of its billing practices not its PT. Luckily it worked out. I just completed my PT. And with Jason whom I met when he was an intern here. He's in charge now and has been for quite awhile. I'm not going to have a billing issue either because of the type of insurance I'm on. So that's a non issue. Jason & his staff are very cohesive and everyone works together as a team. I'd return if I need PT down the road. Easy parking. read more

First of all, I would like to Thank Jason and his team for providing "fun and excellent service!" All staffs here are friendly, professional and easy to work with. I was nervous about getting PT because it's painful and stressful and especially during the pandemic! Schedule appt. for the first time was easy and painless. Jason is my therapist; he's very patient and knowledgeable with everything. Since my schedule changed, now I'm working with Victor who's a PT assistant. Again, very patient, easy to work with and acknowledge my problems. They taught me exercise to do at home that can help me feel better soon! I really enjoyed working with everyone in this office. Also the office is COVID proof; hand sanitizers in each rooms. Temperature checking prior to entering to the workout area. Everything gets sanitized after used. read more

If you had told me a year ago that I'd be able to hike the beautiful trails of Marin again, I wouldn't have believed it. My back pain was so severe that I just couldn't imagine it. I really have Jason and the entire team at Select to thank for getting me back in shape with in-office PT and exercises to do at home. Not only do their techniques really work, but they make it enjoyable - in other words I look forward to my visits, and I am so very grateful. read more

So happy to have found this PT office. Jason and the entire team is amongst the best I have received treatment from when recovering an injury. This is true for the front desk team too, that does an amazing job of navigating a really busy schedule so I can get in and treated, which is a shortcoming for every other PT office I've been to. I could go on... but just really value to quality treatment and medical insights that I can take back to my physician. Thank you Select team! read more

Jason, the team, the front desk, and the aids have been super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this facility!

Just finished an extensive 3 months of therapy at the Select Physical Therapy on Geary Boulevard! I was in the hospital for ten days after a major operation and it took me a long time to get better once I was released. The muscles in my legs had atrophied and I was pretty weak. A couple of days at home and one morning I got out of bed and fell flat on my back. I thought I broke it but it was severely strained. Started going to Select under the supervision of Audrey and Julie and they guided me on an exercise regimen that helped immensely I did the work at home as well and I feel much better now thanks to them. I "graduated" today and I' d like to thank them immensely for getting me back on track. Highly recommend them. read more

I had never gotten physical therapy before and I have to say that it was very beneficial and actually fun working with the team at Select Physical Therapy in the Sunset. Everyone was very kind and friendly and the care I received very effective. I went in for shoulder pain and Dr. Joseph Dea and my therapist Victor Yee were stellar. They pinpointed the best treatment for me and got me to continue the exercises at home. My shoulder pain improved greatly - there are many more days now when I don't have any pain at all. read more

I finally graduated from PT!!!! I left, then came back (hey I know when I'm beat lol) to help correct my lingering issues with my knee(s) and hip(s) and while the staff (most) has changed, the equipment is being moved around and upgraded (a plus for new patients), paint is being applied and its getting revamped - this is still THE best place to come for PT. Alexis Anderson, DPT is really wonderful! She helped me see the bigger picture at a time I was nearly ready to crack from all the pressure (and pain) and only with her advice and clearly knowing and understanding it, was I able to finally help them help me LEAVE PT (hopefully, for good!) and feel like....well, like before I was injured! I will admit, there were a couple snags with billing due to their own clerical error but that is being dealt with internally and that makes me really feel like at the end of it all, they care! I mean yes, this is their business, but so are a lot of places that could care less about anything else BUT your money. I will miss going there but I am happy it is a chapter in my life I can close with a smile =) and I highly recommend them! read more

EXCEPTIONAL. Jason and crew did a fabulous job helping me get back to full strength after knee surgery. They are very knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. I can't recommend Jason, his staff, and Select Physical Therapy more highly! read more

Great team of staff and physiotherapists! I was treated for my broken ankle in 2020 by Calvin and currently for severe patellofemoral knee pain by Vincent. They're extremely knowledgeable and develop the right program to accelerate your recovery. They're also extremely warm and polite and I've always enjoyed my rehab time over at the Vicente location. A no brainer where I would be taking my daughter for correcting a foot issue. read more

These people look for naive students to volunteer and maybe get hired there. Legally working interviews need to be paid. This is shameful. From their Craigslist ad: compensation: Voluntary but potential for paid employment type: part-time Physiotherapy Associates Sunset Clinic is looking for a volunteer physical therapy aide. Aide duties include but are not limited to supervising therapeutic exercises, assisting/observing physical therapist with treatments, front office duties such as filing and faxing patient information and scheduling patients. Candidates must be interested in applying in a DPT program in the future and must have at least 20 hours of availability. The ideal candidate is a team player that is eager to learn, demonstrates the ability to multi-task in a busy clinic but still display excellent customer service with a positive attitude. Cantonese and/or Mandarin speaking is a plus. We see a wide variety of patients from elite level athletes, weekend warriors, geriatrics, and work related injuries. Although this is a volunteer position there is potential to transition to a paid position for the right candidate in the future, and you will be able to log hours for your DPT application. We take great pride in mentoring our aides and preparing them for PT school, and in the last three years we have had nine aides get into PT school and all are excelling in their respective programs. Please email resume and cover letter. Only qualified candidates will be invited for an interview. read more

My review for this PT spot has been way overdue. I came here years ago when it was under a different name but the same person that ran it, Jason Villacampa, is still doing a stellar job. My first visit years back was for shoulder tendinitis from tennis and after a short month or 2, Jason and his associates got me pain free and to this day I am still doing great. My second visit which was in the last year, again, Jason and his team were able to resolve my elbow tendinitis issues and allowed me to get back to playing tennis again. Can't say enough about this business and everyone there was very friendly and helpful. I know for sure if I ever have issues in the future that I'll be seeking the help of these guys. Highly recommend. read more

Came to Physiotherapy associates because of a lower back problem. My therapist is Michelle. Our first meeting together was very helpful. Not knowing who she was or how she can help with my pain, I had to trust and believe in her as a therapist. She is very knowledgable in her work and the body mechanics and inner workings of the muscles and nervous system. My ailment is three bulging discs in my lower back with a tear in the disc. We talked about the nature of my injury and possible cause and treatment for it. Speaking with her gave me a peace of mind that I am in good hands. She started with pressure points in my back to feel for the area of pain, to loosen up the muscles around my lower back and try to relieve some of the pressure that's going on in my lower back. Then taught me some exercises in certain positions that would not cause me great pain but to help loosen and strengthen my back. It's going to be a long process but I feel very comfortable with Michelle. Her aids, Calvin, Corin, Joseph have also been a great help and give me a welcoming feeling. Very polite and fun group of individuals. This is my 4th visit and im happy to get great help and treatment from a great group of people. read more

This is my first experience with PT as a patient, and I am really impressed with the PTs here . Dr. Kellee Straub has been working with me for many months and I can honestly say that physical therapy has been the main pain relief for my injury. I feel that I have been supported every step of the way by Kellee and the staff here at select PT . The front office staff are friendly, professional, efficient, knowledgeable and always willing to work with you to make your schedule work with your PT. The PTs and assistants are incredibly knowledgeable - if the assistants ever have any questions, patient safety is obviously a priority and the PTs around the studio are always more than happy to help. They make sure to make the exercises fun and creative! The PTs can help answer all of your questions, and can also provide resources outside of PT. You get what you put in and the PTs make sure you have the resources to succeed at home as well as in the studio! It is obvious the team that works here is a family and they make sure every patient feels apart of the support and community. read more

I'm coming up on 9 months since my injury (broken femur and tibia). I found this place on yelp (surprised?). It had good reviews and is really close to me which was nice b/c i couldn't walk for the first 3 to 4 months since the break. The place itself is well maintained, has a good amount of equipment for various exercises, and is a fair size. The front desk always did a good job of checking me in, very polite, talkative and most importantly well organized. Now to my treatment: Overall this place was thorough, considerate, patient and honest. I ask a LOT of questions, especially since this was my first serious injury. Henry was extremely patient with answering any concern i had and was well informed. After about two weeks of treatment, progress was slow and they recommended I went back to surgery. This was a hard thing to recommend on their end and obviously wasn't my 'ideal' recovery. HOWEVER, it was a very honest opinion of my progress/state and i was really thankful...especially b/c they told me as early as they could to save me insurance visits. After the second surgery, progress was much better. Treatments were well structured -- 30m of therapy and 30m of exercise. The exercise was good b/c i got to learn what i needed to do on my own but with supervision. Henry was very easy to get a hold of via email/phone if i had questions and follow up was always prompt. I am on my way to what i feel will be 100% recovery or close to (gotta put in the work outside of therapy too!), so this place absolutely deserves 5 stars in my book. read more

If you happen to need the services of a Physical Therapist, then look no further! This place has helped me recover from foot surgery a few months ago and I couldn't be happier! I definitely noticed a difference from the first day I walked in to what is now two months of regular weekly visits. The PTs here are very knowledgeable and personable, you'll actually look forward to your appointments, despite the pain you know you'll have to endure. Reasons to choose this office over any other options available: 1. Easy parking 2. Knowledgeable PTs who care about your progress 3. Clean and spacious with treatment rooms for more privacy 4. Painless scheduling process 5. Great people all around! PTs, Aides, and Office Managers are such a treat! I never left without a smile on my face. I don't wish for anyone to need their services but if/when you do, I highly recommend this place! read more

I scheduled an appointment last week to come here today because I wanted to give this place a try. I get here and they tell me it's cancelled. It should be noted that I never called in to cancel and no one let me know they cancelled this appointment. I'm so upset because not only did this place just waste my time and gas from commuting across the city, but they didn't even offer to reschedule me or try to squeeze me in. Sure love the professionalism! read more

All the therapists I have encountered have been really good. They know what they are doing, are kind and creative in how they approach doing the exercises to keep things interesting. read more

This review is plainly about scheduling and not the quality of their treatment. I called yesterday to schedule an appt as a new patient. I was told they have a last minute cancellation for today, if not, the next appt would be 2nd week of December, so I took today's appt and had to cancel my online training session at work. Well, I arrived 20 mins before appointed time since this is my first time and I have paperworks to fill up. When I went to receptionist to check-in, I was told my therapist didn't come in today, and they left me 3 VM in the morning, I showed the lady my phone which didn't show any new VM, and then I was told they have another one for tomorrow, which I declined as I have other commitments. I was bummed and pissed off as: 1) If they didn't get a reply from me after "claiming" they left me VM, why didn't they try to SMS me? 2) If they appointments were so booked as I was told when I first called, how can they have another for tomorrow knowing that one therapist didn't come in today and maybe lots of these patients would have taken the extra slot before me? 3) A good service would have me squeezed into one of the PT's there and discuss my situation, since this is my first time, its mostly understanding my medical condition and what approach they would take, I know this might impact their FULL schedules and existing patient care, but they should have account for such situation and not fully book their schedule. Basically, I'm really mad to drive all the way from work, leaving early and canceling my training session, and then finding out the can't take me since the PT is out, they claimed they left me 3 VM which I didn't see any in my phone, 30 mins after leaving their office, I got a VM from a friend, so that tells me my phone is ok. Also, the fact that they "conveniently" have another slot the next day, which doesn't sound like its possible, when I was told they earliest would be mid December and considering one PT didn't come in today, so they would have to accommodate those patients scheduled for today and reschedule. read more

I went to this office for an Achilles tear. They have you work with a physical therapist the first half hour and then you work with an aide. The last day of therapy for the Achilles the aide had me do something that messed up my knee. I went back to rehab my knee and they gave me an exercise that led to back pain, back spasms, and now i have chronic back pain. Alexis Anderson is a very good physical therapist. However, she is no longer there and the use of aides can lead to an injury that's worse than what you started with. If you go here, make sure you work with the therapist and ignore the aides. read more

This review is solely based on how I'm treated by the front desk staff. You are the rudest people I've encountered at a rehab facility. If you hate your job, go find a new one. The only reason I'm putting up with you is because my therapist is awesome. read more

My Doctor origionally recommended Physiotherapy Associates for a knee injury..Because I was comp sating my old back injury flared up . Thanks to Dr. Villacampa I was able to get treatment for both . When I started I was depressed because I could no longer do my regular actives without out pain. Each session Dr Villacampa took the time to explain the techniques he was using and answer my never ending questions. He was very encouraging without making promises. He is not only very knowable but also patient and kind. Because of the great therapy I received I am now without pain and am back to leading the active life that I use to . I can't say enough about the positive experience I had. All the staff, PT's and PT's Aids (especially Kelly who worked with me) , office ,etc are very professional and personable. I highly recommend Physiotherapy Associates at this location. read more

I have experience with few PT places. I have to say this is the best .Therapists Victor, and Jason that I dealt with are very knowledgeable and competent , and most of all, they care about their patient. They really enjoyed their profession. Audrey at the front office is super nice, she knows every patient that walk in the door. They are very busy, but try to book appointment ahead of time. read more

I tore my AC ligament about 2 months ago, started PT, 2 weeks after. Jason was great, he was very flexible with my crazy schedule. He was very knowledgeable and he worked a good 30 minutes on me, every time I went there. The other 30-45 minutes were with a aide. They were also very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I think there was a girl, volunteering to help with aides. She was a little lost but it didn't affect me or my treatment. I understand they have to start from somewhere. Anyways, my experience was very positive and I totally regained my range of motion and the pain has totally gone. I am back to my routines in 2 months, which include working out. I highly recommend this place. read more

Thank you for fixing my broken back. The best PT in that office I had is Pam. She is great and knew exactly how to help me. She got me to swing and sway my hips again. Oh yeah.............the hubby thanks you too:) read more

Update: May 8, 2014 No one ever took responsibility for the automated call system process or to confirm my Tues May 6th appoint was holding or try and retain me as a potential client. I did call into the office during business hours to confirm that the appointment I did make for May 6th was canceled and it was then that they informed me they hadn't checked the messages yet. Yikes. read more

I have been getting physical therapy here for over 4 months! They are the best! Jason and his staff are very professional and I've always felt that they put my well being first! Audrey the front end person is the bomb. She always notifies me of my oncoming appointments ahead of time. Not only that but very friendly yet professional. I can't say enough about this place! read more

I had a wonderful experience as a patient of this office. The entire staff from the font desk to the trainers and their assistants are extremely supportive and professional. It seemed as though the staff really loved their jobs and that came through in my sessions. They were very attentive and patient and helped me rehabilitate my sore knee in a few short months. Im a sucker for good customer service so I was always really happy when I walked in the door and the staff remembered me and greeted me by name. As a patient of various other offices in the SF I highly recommend this office by comparison. Thanks guys! read more

Jackie (PT) and Bill (Trainer) are the best. Jackie is knowledgeable and super friendly. Bill will work with you to get you back into working shape and more. I've been going there for a while for my back. They definitely taught me the do's and don'ts of sitting, standing, walking, etc. I even tried another PT that was closer to my job but in the end up came back to these guys and feel much better. Trust me, these guys are great. read more

Great place for Physiotherapy. Everybody very professional and very kind. I was lucky to have Kalei as a physiotherapist. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She works you really hard and make sure you get the most out of each session. All assistants are good, I worked more with Chris, he also make sure you work until the last minute and works you to your best. I highly recommend this place. Very caring environment, good equipment, good manners, always trying to get to the best of your capabilities. My hip greatly improved with the help of this people. I am a Registered Nurse working in Acute Rehab in a hospital, my opinion is that this is the place to go for Physical Therapy. They will encourage you and make sure you get better and stronger, The font desk people are equally kind and well organized. Go for it ! read more

To begin with, I have a very complex back injury that dates back 3 years. I have been in chronic pain for a very long time. I tried PT a few times (as well as accupuncture, chiropractor, epidurals, pain meds, etc.) but nothing seemed to ease my pain. Dr. Michelle Cotter helped me find an ease to my pain (traction, tissue work, and H-Wave) where I was finally able to work on strengthening my back. I still have a long way to go, but know I am in the right place. Michelle Cotter is very knowledgable, friendly, sympathetic, but at the same time very diligent and detail oriented. The perfect combination of an excellent physcial therapist! I LOVE going to PT and wish I could go daily. Depsite the hard work, I know that I am building strength, while at the same time easing my pain. Other reasons I love to come here: 1. Easy parking 2. Knowledgeable PTs who care about your progress 3. Clean and spacious with treatment rooms for more privacy 4. Painless scheduling process 5. Great people all around! PTs, Aides, and Office Managers are such a treat! I never left without a smile on my face. I don't wish for anyone to need their services but if/when you do, I highly recommend this place! read more

This place is very good and effective. Good people work here. I believe many of the old reviews for lower ratings were when a different management was there. Jason now has this place humming as you'll see by how far in advance you need to secure an appt. Joann runs the front office with tight efficiency. She's very knowledgeable and sweet as well. I've had pt from both Kalei and Henry--both awesome! I should know, I've spent a good amount of time here the past 18 mths resolving knee issues! Each time they were able to solve my issues. My mom goes here as well and is so thankful for Kalei's healing powers! Can't go wrong with the pt's here--I think who u get will be determined by availability or who you click with read more

Jason Villacampa and his staff are extraordinary. I had muscles and tendons torn and reattached in my shoulder and required only the best care to strengthen yet avoid damage while recovering. My friends doubted I should even have surgery at my age of 67 but thanks to Jason, Kelly, Chris and his staff I'm not only recovering, I'm buck to playing and winning at softball, again. They are just the best! read more

I had a great experience with Pat at PhysioTherapy. I have been to a number of therapists in San Franciscos and none had been able to relieve my lower back and neck pain until I started seeing Patrick. He uses a combination of hands on techniques, massage and exercise. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Have seen them for both foot and neck/shoulder problems and they've helped with both. Good PT is about problem solving, and they have the knowledge and skills get to the root of the problem, and figure out what will resolve it. Best of all they are all very caring and friendly, and the office is big and well-equipped. Pretty easy parking too. Highly recommended! read more

Excellent group of people. Dr. Brown was knowledgeable, creative, and fun to work with. Whole staff was friendly and flexible with appointments. Overall great experience - highly recommended. read more

I have been totally amazed and impressed with the quality of care I have received at Vicente Physiotherapy Associates in 2013 year. It took more than four months of twice-weekly therapy for me to regain full range of motion after right hip replacement surgery. The friendly staff with good sense of humor helped me to work normally again. Everybody who needs help can be sure that the Vicente Physiotherapy Associates is the right place! read more
