I tried a couple of other PT practices for my knee before finding this place, and honestly, none of them got me anywhere. These folks were different -- friendly, attentive, and actually delivered real results. Wish I'd went to them first! Sarah, Laura and doctor Hassanein are the best bunch in the are! read more

This was my first experience ever with physical therapy, and it was a very good one. It helped solve my lower back pain almost immediately. The staff did a great job of explaining how to do the exercises and why, and were attentive and knowledgeable. I like how they adjust the therapy to the individual. They gave me a few sheets of paper with stretches and moves so that, hopefully, I won't need to return. But, if I do, I know Star Physical Therapy will take good care of me. read more

Laura was excellent and very happy with my experience!! they have a very convenient location and hours.

I was experiencing tingling down my right arm and into my hand in late December and my doctor suggested i go to Star Physical Therapy. I am so glad i did. Dr. Haas and the staff there were extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and caring. They identified my problem and provided instruction on exercises that would help ease the problem. I actually looked forward to going to my sessions, it was so helpful. And i really appreciated that they provided me with exercises to do after my therapy sessions were complete. They truly had my best interests in mind first and explained the problem thoroughly. And they worked with the insurance as well to sort out a billing issue! And the end result is that i'm pain and tingling free and continue to do the exercises diligently. I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Haas and his staff are excellent! I have been in and out of PT for years for various ailments, and I've never felt better so quickly than when visiting Star. This time I came in for a pinched nerve in my neck and I am already in SIGNIFICANTLY less pain and have increased range of motion. I highly recommend Star PT! read more

Star Physical therapy has a stellar staff. Dr. Haas, Laura and the other staff members are dedicated, knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Haas studied my medical records so that he knew the exact exercises to strengthen by leg and hip. Each time I came for therapy, I felt stronger. I am able to walk for longer distances and have improved the way I walk. The staff works closely together to provide exceptional care. It is a happy place where people feel welcomed and relieved to find answers to their physical problems. You should try Star Physical Therapy. You won't be disappointed. Debbie read more

They do a fantastic job. They look at the entire body not just the infected area! Very warm and welcoming.

Dr. Haas and his entire staff are just fantastic. I've been to larger chains for PT, and none of them can provide the personal attention and level of service that Star provides. Dr. Haas takes the time to fully understand the injury and doesn't just treat the injury, but explains his treatment and why it works - every visit I learn more, which is important for understanding why injuries occur and how to avoid them in the future. I highly recommend visiting Star for any PT needs! read more

This is the second time I've had to use Star Physical Therapy. Both times my experience has been very satisfactory. Shabaan, the Physical Therapist and owner is a very nice man. He is very easy going and easy to talk too. Truly enjoys what he does. You can tell by his concern for his patients that he has your best interest at heart. I've seen him interact with the people in there and he seems to relate well with young and old, men and woman. All the staff is as friendly as can be and treat you like a relative and not just a dog running through the yard. The staff can rest assured they do their jobs extremely well. If you find yourself in need of Therapy, give this place a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. read more

I needed therapy following hip surgery. The first week the doc came to my house for therapy, the next week he picked me up and dropped me off at home personally. I had a bad experience with athletico. My experience with Athletico is: after the second or third session, I was me standing around for a minute or two after finishing my exercise. Me then asking my therapist, should I do this exercise next and them saying yes. I then got the bill and saw charges all over the map which included massage and stretching by my therapist that never happened. I am paying less money then Athletico and actually getting individual attention. Dr. Shaaban is great and his whole staff is very good. He works you out and then goes to ice and massage therapy. I highly recommend them to anybody. Just don't go for the next few months so doesn't get too busy for me. read more

I came here for a car accident with a sprained neck with my boyfriend. They were very accommodating to having my boyfriend and I come at the same time. Dr. Sabaan is extremely friendly and helpful but most of all he is understanding of the struggles of what goes along with physical therapy. Although he has a lot of patients in the office at once your never waiting and that is a big deal to me I don't want to go to the Drs and wait forever. Nassir is my favorite for sure, he does an amazing massage and is very sweet and personable. Request him for sure!!! I hope I never have a situation where I have to come back here but if I do I will be back. read more

Dr. Haas and his staff are fantastic! They get to know you as a person and an individual, and treat you and your body as such. I have an active job with a lot of lifting and also enjoy action sports, which have both contributed to several shoulder injuries. Dr. Haas not only found the specific issues of my body but also developed the best stretch, exercise, and recovery routines to improve. He also helps to educate me as to why they work and how I can continue to use them in the future. I feel great, but also have the knowledge to keep getting stronger and help prevent future injuries. Star Physical Therapy is truly first class. read more

I highly recommend Star Physical Therapy. I've been a patient for back and shoulder issues and every time I received the best care and outcomes . The staff are very knowledgeable and explain why each exercise will help in recovery. read more

On the recommendation of my neighbor, I started working with Dr. Hass, Laura, and the Star Physical Therapy Team. I will likely need to have hip replacement surgery, but not yet, because Dr. Hass and Laura have helped me feel 100% better. They helped me with professionalism and humor. Each session was unique and very personalized. I highly recommend Star Physical Therapy. Come in and feel better!! read more

Great place. It is conveniently located in Downers Grove and it is very easy to schedule an appointment. They will accommodate the therapy hours to what your needs are, in my case it was 7 a.m. twice a week plus Saturday hours. Shaaban is very friendly. He is very attentive and knowledgeable about his work. He will make you laugh through your pain with his clever comments. I had a problem with SI joints and when I came the first time I could not stand up straight or move much at all. It took just one session to feel the difference as I started to get my mobility back on track. With every consecutive physical therapy session things were just getting better and now I feel like I am back to my old self. I just have to keep up my exercise routine. Shaaban's staff (Nasser and Bozena) is very nice and helpful, they will cheer you on to make your exercise experience better and help you get through it. I would recommend Star Physical Therapy to anyone in pain and need of physical therapy. Wonderful staff and great service. read more

I'm very pleased with my progress after going to Star for the past 5 weeks. I'm able to move much better and my pain is way down. Dr. Hassanein is excellent in his knowledge. I also worked with Laura the Physical therapist and she is very good. They have a good technical team also. I would recommend to a friend! Thank you for making me feel better! read more

I am a physical therapist my self and I got injured on the job and was treated and fully recovered by the great help at Star Physical Therapy. I always refer my patients to Dr. Shaban, the owner and the president of star Physical therapy but this time I was able to have a first hand experience of Dr. Shaban dedicated service, help, knowledge and skills. I was also really touched by his kindness and I am grateful to him for my recovery. read more

Dr. Hass, Laura and the staff are fantastic! I came here after a chronic back spasm suddenly turned severe. My first visit was the day after I called and scheduling was always very flexible and convenient. It took several visits to figure out what was causing the spasm and how to calm it down, but at every visit Dr. Hass treated me personally and developed a custom program to deal with the issue and re-assessed my progress at each visit. I was off of the scary RX prescribed by my primary care dr. and the ER within a couple of visits and we were able to not only calm it down but figure out ways to improve the situation so it does not return. But if it did, I would have no hesitation to go directly back to Dr. Hass because I know he can help. Thank you so much!! read more

I did not take my decision to go to star physical therapy lightly. I have "known" of them for many many years as my family dr. is across the hall. I have chronic spine pain from a slip and fall backward impacting mid back on a metal bar. a lumbar surgery, a cervical surgery, as well as many many stints of various injections, physical therapists, traction that was a joke, many different dr's of different medical teaching, I found myself being told to do pt and/or chiro. I had been intrigued about the cold laser therapy for a little while and saw star pt does it and their reviews were very positive. I figured I would give them a chance, after all, I have no problem leaving when the therapy is not helping. I originally was going because "the surgeon" said so, and I know the routine. everytime you start with a "new" dr. they all follow "the routine". I kept going because they really were giving me some relief! The pain was so very severe. THEN, I got a case of vertigo that was so bad. I called dr. haas to cancel my appointment and he said, "no, come in, I can help you." I did and yes, he had me vertigo free after three visits. We shifted back to the spine pain but my knee had gotten so bad that I paused on chiropractic and PT so i could let it rest a bit. The spine pain shot back up and I needed to get the level down in order to go through knee replacement surgery. I am now back with them to do what they can to keep spine pain down until I recover enough from knee surgery to have neck surgery, again. Unfortunately, I will be cut off PT by medicare very soon and I dont know what I will do then. However, come january, whenever I am having an issue, I will be going right back to Star. I wish I could say that we had met under different circumstances but, Dr. Hass (yes, he's dr. OF physical therapy) is very good at what he does. He gave me every therapy he had at his fingertips to help me. He really cared about me. He always has the best interest of his patients in mind. I can really see how so many call him friend, as I do now, all of the people at Star really! They all have little tips and hints of all kinds, like wetting a tennis ball and putting in the freezer to have ready when you need to ice and work out a muscle cramp (thanks Diana lol). When to do a particular exercise and when you just aren't ready for it. He really knows how to give you exercises to help strengthen your core without hurting you, no matter how deconditioned you are. All of his helpers are very knowledgeable also. Diana, Rhea, and Srbana-I really hope I spelled your names correct. As I returned to star, Dr. Haas had taken some well deserved time away and the "fill in" turned out to be his teacher who was even more knowledgeable, if you can believe it! Dr. Marzouk was able to explain part of the reason why I had vertigo due to the state of my neck and pressing on the blood supply! things that the "Doctors" would not even think of! It's sad, really. If you need any kind of help in your body, STAR is the place to go. Sidenote: when you do a review, don't forget to click on the stars for the rating. I saw so many recent reviews that didnt get noticed because they didnt click on the stars. My hope for everyone who reads this is a miracle in all of our bodies but if not, go to Star and get a mini miracle. read more

This is my second time at Star Physical Therapy. They are the BEST in the Western suburbs. The first time I went to them for help was for a torn meniscus in my knee. They fixed that with exercises and treatment. It prevented my needing surgery. This time I went for severe back pain. I couldn't stand long and it really interfered with my daily activities. Today, my back pain is gone and I am walking straighter, too They used exercise, ultra sound, massage, deep tissue vibration, and something that was like a high quality TENS machine to which they added moist heat. I actually looked forward to going because I felt so good afterwards...almost like I had been to a spa. Also, Dr. Shaaban's demeanor is so professional and his staff members are encouraging and kind. They really care about their patients and that makes a big difference in healing. You never feel rushed while you are there and they seem happy to see you. Parking is plentiful and the agency is easy to locate on the corner of 63rd and Fairview in Downers Grove, IL. I hope I don't need to return to physical therapy, but if I do, I would definitely come back to Star Physical Therapy. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs to do physical therapy for any reason. You will get the help you need by going there. read more

I can't say enough good things about Star Physical Therapy. I had surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff -one full, one partial tear. Dr. Shabaan was awesome. He was very caring, pushed me when I needed it, and he advanced my recovery at a good pace. My shoulder has fully recovered, and thanks to Dr. Shabaan and his staff, I've regained total use of my shoulder without limitation. The staff at Star Physical Therapy was very kind and made my experience the best it could be. read more

I was referred to Star by my doctor for chronic neck pain due to an accident. On my first visit, I could barely turn my head. Over the weeks, Shabaan and his staff took a lot of interest in my health and helping me recover. They explained everything they were doing and how it would help me get better. Everyone was very friendly and took my privacy very seriously. They were also very flexible with my busy work schedule. By the time my last appointment came, I was pain free and felt like I was given my life back after several months of dealing with my injury. read more

I have been coming here since April '16 for PT on my neck and shoulder and also on my knee (after meniscus repair).. I cant say enough about the treatment I am getting here- Dr Shabaan Haas and his team work together and you are taken care of like a family member- I have had great relief on my neck - Dr Haas has used different methods to strengthen my muscles and I have to say they are working. The team certainly has my best interests at heart. read more

I picked the facility based on the Yelp reviews. The 5 star reviews were correct. Dr. Hassanein and his staff are friendly and helpful. The entire staff explains how the exercise is helping your muscles. I went because of a knee issue. It feels a 100% better. I would recommend the group to my friends. Mary read more

Pain in neck causing a great deal of pain when turning to one side. MD recommend I try physical therapy before anything else. Shaaban and staff have helped immensely and are very friendly and knowledgeable. Initial treatments included cupping, ultrasound massage, electric stimulation, and traction. The combination has made the pain go away. Last few visits worked more on strengthening the neck muscles. I have been pretty good about doing exercises at home, which makes a big difference to success of treatments. Limited hours there makes it a little tricky to get in when you need to, sometimes, but it works out. I've been to other therapists over the years who just rely on exercise/stretching and Star's combination of other treatments seems to work very well. Will be back again. read more

I went to Star Physical Therapy because I had a torn meniscus, bone spurs, and arthritis in my knee. I was in a lot of pain and my ortho doctor talked about knee replacement which scared me. Since going to Star Therapy, I can now walk normally and don't need the surgery. The people there are very kind and go above and beyond to be caring and empathic. They encouraged me to persevere and I found myself doing more than I thought I could do. Plus, they do laser, ultra sound, and stimulation therapy which made me feel like I was at a spa. I'm very grateful for their help. read more

Referred by my primary care doctor for therapy on my vertigo. Dr. Shaaban and staff was very friendly, accommodating and very professional. Just a few days on my therapy and the dizziness was gone. I would highly recommend Star Physical Therapy, the best service! read more
