If you are considering this practice, know this up front. I was billed ten times my expected…read moreinsurance cost, and nobody told me beforehand. I came in for an evaluation with Dr. Shook after texting the office ahead of time to ask about insurance, since I also wanted to book my mom for the same day. It took four full days to get a reply, and when it came, it only addressed Mom's Medicare not being accepted. Nothing was said about my own insurance, Sendero, not being accepted. I cancelled my appointment at that time and decided I would rebook at a later date, which gave them ample time to evaluate my insurance and whether it was accepted. That should be standard practice for any professional healthcare establishment. I found that out after my appointment, when my card was charged $200 with no conversation about cost beforehand. My plan lists a $20 copay for this kind of visit. Ten times that landed on my card with zero warning. When I disputed the charge with my bank, the practice claimed they had emailed me a cost disclosure six days before my appointment. I never received that email. My own text history with them from that shows no mention of Sendero or a $200 fee at all, only the Medicare question for my mom. I work in healthcare myself. I know the pressures of running a small practice. That is not the issue here. The issue is that this practice does not disclose cost up front, will charge whatever card is on file without confirming you understand you are paying full retail, and offers no real resolution once you push back. I want to be clear that Dr. Shook's clinical work was excellent and i would rate that part of the experience 5 stars. My issue is entirely with how money and communication are handled here. There is no front desk and no clear check in process, I sat in an empty waiting room until I let myself into the treatment area because I heard someone inside. If you carry any insurance besides what they clearly prefer, get your coverage and cost confirmed in writing before you book. They will not volunteer it.

Dr. Davis at Training Room ATX is the real deal…read more First off, he's just a great dude. Blunt in the best way, funny, optimistic, and clearly someone who cares deeply about doing things the right way. You can tell he comes from a military background, not because he's rigid, but because his intent is always about getting the job done with high standards and real purpose. I've been going to him for a couple of years now. I'm 38, play men's league baseball, and I'm definitely not in the best shape of my life. Still, Dr. Davis has made it possible for me to keep playing, stay on the field, and actually contribute to my team's success. More than once, he's done something in a session that made me stop and think, "Whoa... I can actually do that better than I thought." What really sets him apart is his practicality. I have a home gym, sent him a picture of it, and he completely nailed a customized workout plan around my nagging injuries: no extreme stuff, no gimmicks, just clever, realistic, practical work. I tend to play like I forget I'm 38, and he helps keep me honest and functional. He's incredibly knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, and as a teacher who's on his feet and mentally drained all day, I genuinely look forward to my sessions with him. That says a lot. Highly recommend Dr. Davis and Training Room ATX to athletes, or honestly, anyone who wants to get better. You'll be in great hands.

STAR PT is THE "1 stop shop for all your body's needs!" 1st…read moresection of this review is "my story"; Skip to the end for other details about STAR PT. K, I'm a bit biased: I, myself, was a PT at STAR for 10 years. But, I'm a patient right now: bicipital tendinitis developed as a result of shoulder impingement/rotator cuff arthropathy. I couldn't use my arm worth squat, constant pain, and intense pain with attempted use. What I had tried/done failed. Grew very discouraged/depressed: Husband asked me when I was going to DO something about it (& stop complaining, lol). Saw my doc: He offered an injection, but I said, "PT first please, and I want to go to STAR." (don't want injections to jeopardize the integrity of my tendons, and STAR PT "only"!). Yes, a PT may need another PT to lift one up, illuminate the path, and lead the way to success! Highlighting Anthony for his awesomeness! I specifically requested Anthony because he was the only one who didn't "know me." I know the other therapists, and they are all excellent. In this case personally, I wanted to be "led" unbiasedly: without any consideration/assumption that I "should know" this or that since the others "know" I'm a PT. Visits 1 & 2 proved to me why you see a PT before injections/surgery: immediate positive impact! I experienced a set-back after the visit 3 - of the exact same nature as to why I was unsuccessful when I tried to rehab myself. Anthony got me past this in ways that I'd never thought of! Week 3: still progressing, and Anthony increased focus on other components of my body to ensure long-term success (YES, core/pelvic/hip/leg exercises for my shoulder problem!). 8th visit/re-evaluation: 80+% better! Able to swim freestyle without problems over 4th of July holidays, pain is SO much less (I can handle intermittent dull aching), I no longer hesitate to use my arm (though it's still quite weak), and I'm now asking questions about working out! Anthony is so awesome: He listens, instructs, educates, set goals, and puts the plan into place. Though (as a PT) I think I could "take over" independently at this point, I'm continuing because I want to return to 100% and want him to keep leading me to ensure success. I started a version of push-ups (um, 7 visits ago, this thought was ludicrous)! Anthony reviewed other activities/gym exercises to try (or avoid), reminded me of needed rest/recovery periods and signs of when to back-off/stop. I don't know if I'll need to update this review when I am 100%, because I'm now feeling like nothing's going to stop me from reaching my goals! & Yes, should I experience any "hiccup" from this point forward, Anthony will bring me beyond it (full confidence), but this is why I'm still going to STAR PT!

Most recently, I had a bulging disc issue which left me with intense pain and limited movement. Nick B. was my PT. He was courteous, knowledgeable and all around great! And after 2-3 months of treatment I am no longer in pain and have my movement back. I, along with my husband, highly recommend Carter Physiotherapy. They're just the best!

I am a myofascial/massage therapist with about 20 years experience. I heard about Nick initially…read morefrom a doctor who swore by what he did to correct issues she had been having with her feet. I had referred my clients to him for more than 2 years because each came back with amazing comments about his process and his results. I injured my shoulder and was only able to raise my arm about 10 degrees. It prevented me from working, sleeping, and everything else one might use a shoulder or arm for. I tried everything I could think of while I was in Michigan: acupuncture, bodywork, chiropractic, cupping, PT, etc. When I returned to Austin, I called Nick and he was able to return my arm to 90% functionality in one session! He then gave me simple exercises to close the gap on the other 10%. This guy is an absolute rock star. He truly listens and then works to address the core issues, not just treat symptoms. I will continue to send clients to him and to see him myself.

I've tried several combinations of yoga, mobility work, massage therapy, and rolfing, all of which have helped to some degree but haven't gotten to the root of the problem. In just a few short weeks of treatment with Nick, I've regained muscle control and range of motion I haven't had access to for years. The best part of all is that I've learned the techniques and developed an understanding of my body that's going to help me retain these benefits moving forward. Couldn't be more grateful for the impact Nick's had on my ability to do the activities I enjoy and my overall quality of life and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a PT.

I have only worked with Elizabeth, one of the main P.Therapists.

She, being an athlete and a coach of different sports, see's easily what the deficit is and prescribes exercises to remedy your malady. She is the first therapist I've had that worked one-on-one to monitor my progress, check my pain levels, and modify work-outs so I can progress into pain-free territory. If you are looking for someone to help you with a chronic use injury from sports, or even postural things that effect you at work on the day/day, look no further.
