Fantastic experience: When you walk into PTI, you are greeted with genuine interest. The staff is helpful and kind. My physical therapist, Rob Humphrey, is great!

Positive experience: Went in for debilitation pain in my sacrum. Donna gave me an intake that seemed to cover the bases and we sketched out a treatment plan for the next few weeks. 4 days later I met Sean in the pool and began to experience more relief that I have in weeks. So far so good.
Thank you for your feedback, Donna and Sean are great!
Fantastic experience: Kind and efficient staff. Excellent practitioners. Exercise room with access outdoors = fresh air.
Thank you Sidney for your feedback!
Fantastic experience: I'm after an elbow injury and this is my second case of being treated at this clinic, until today everything was fine, and well, today Memorial Day scheduled treatment for me when I called to see if it was a mistake it turned out to me that they do work and I asked to try to advance or postpone or cancel the appointment, and then I was told that I can cancel but I have to pay a $100 fine because I already had one cancellation for another injury three years ago, something that seems completely illogical to me, which means that as long as I am treated there I can actually never cancel again because I have already changed treatment For another day and it was 3 years earlier, needless to say that the physiotherapists are excellent and provide excellent service, but unfortunately the representative who spoke to me was unpleasant at all and then the representative who spoke to me spoke as if she was reading the law to me like a robot without thinking for a moment and thinking a little outside the box, it seems more Like making money for free.
Negative experience: The therapists are knowledgeable and personable, the issue I have had are related to some of the policies the owner has in place which in my experience have been punitive and inflexible. The 24 hour cancellation fee recording you are greeted with when you call for an appointment telling you that should you not call to cancel you are slapped with a 100 dollar fee, not taken from your insurance, but out of your pocket. So don’t get sick under that 24 hour notice or be fined. I had an acquaintance recently tell me he was 15 minutes late for his appointment, he was stuck in traffic, not unusual living in the Bay Area add to that he’s injured.. when he finally found parking which is also hard some days to do, he was told to find another practice, that they would not be treating him there. The plus side is the aquatic therapy the down side is what I’ve stated above. Be warned.
In order to continue providing an essential service in a unfavorable financial environment, we have had to be stricter in our enforcement of our failed appointment policy. We understand that there are times and situations in which we have no control over and in those circumstances, we may reduce or waive the fee. However, this is done on a case by case basis. Our policy is not hidden in any way and we take great effort in reminding/informing patients of it's existance. If one does not agree with the policy, they are welcome to find physical therapy treatment elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience with Jeremy. Quickly identified the problem that my doctor had missed. Prescribed three stretches and massage. Already feeling better after two days.
That is great to hear Roy!! We look forward to your prompt recovery.
Fantastic experience: Jeromiah, PT was professional and kind. The aquatic therapy with Casey PT was a lot of fun and it felt great to be in the water. Casey, PT was supportive, encouraging, and knowledgeable. Office staff was also very helpful and provided great follow-up.
Thank you for your feedback =)
Fantastic experience: At PT Innovations, I found the support staff and the physical therapist to be excellent. They have a covered waiting area and even gym equipment for their clients’ use.
Thank you Robin! we are happy to have you as our patient.
Fantastic experience: I was sent to Physical Therapy Innovations by my Doctor. I was a little anxious and nervous, but was pleasantly surprised by the facility and a staff. My therapist Rob asked about my issue and concerns, had me walk and do some movements he was able to plan exercises to address my balance and walking issues. I’m already feeling improvement and am looking forward to the next visit. They have a lot of equipment and a therapy pool.
Thank you for your feedback Tony, we are thankful for you trusting us with your care and hope to get you better soon.

Fantastic experience: Had my first appointment here and was pleased with not only how quickly I got the appointment, but getting the follow ups scheduled so soon as well. Had a great session with Jeromiah, who listened to my history then started right off with what I felt was a major obstacle to my recovery: lots of knots in my back & hip. I feel confident that this is finally the start of my healing journey, after being hardly able to walk for almost four months.

Thank you Anne! Donna is great indeed! You are in good hands.
Fantastic experience: Efficiency, competency, respect reflect my visit.
Thank you Richard for your feedback =)
Positive experience: I was not aware I had to wait outside in the cold. Heat lamps are not a consolation to waiting indoors. My overall visit with Jeremy was positive but I do not wish to wait outside for an appointment.
Hi Cynthia, unfortunately Covid forced us to make a lot of changes and an outdoor waiting area in order to see our volume of patients was one of them. We hope we are able to make changes soon. Thank you for your feedback.
Fantastic experience: Very pleased with PT Innovations and the excellent treatment I have received from Donna.
Thank you Karen, Donna is great you are in good hands!
Fantastic experience: Initially thrown off by location in a residential area. Staff very professional and courteous. My appointment was on time (no waiting). Therapist was easy to talk to and he listened. Isolated my cause of discomfort and we started the exercise. On my way out, ALL my subsequent appointments were booked. Very efficient.
Thank you Ashley! See you for your ongoing visits!
Fantastic experience: This place is a godsend!!! It is organized and well-run, and they treat clients with respect during vulnerable times. I have mostly worked with Marco, who is fabulous. He listens, is straightforward and caring in his approach; and is very knowledgeable with great advice, exercises, and treatment.
Thank you for your feedback Barbara! Marco is great indeed!
Positive experience: I adjusted the body to specific weights and more. Thanks
Awesome!!
Fantastic experience: Reception was kind and informative. I was prepared for the outside waiting room temperature. I saw 2 people. They were both helpful and knowledgeable. They asked questions for clarity, not making any assumptions. They explained things as we progressed through my appointment. They facility is a little cramped and parking was a near. But the service I received was appreciated.
I'm glad to hear your appointment went well and hope to make each visit great!

Thank you Gregory! We appreciate having you as a patient and for your feedback
Fantastic experience: My therapist did a great evaluation. He was patient and attentive and very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback and for trusting us with your care
Negative experience: I knew the first appointment would be $150 (cough cough) but I didn’t know it would be only 30 minutes! And after you get registered and settled, that’s even less than 30 minutes so that’s over $5/ minute! Absurd. I won’t be going back. Also, it’s cramped and crowded. And there’s only one female PT. Too much male energy in a small space.
Wendy thank you for your feedback, we do currently only have one female therapist and she is great! the owner would like to have the opportunity to work with you if you are willing, he is a male but he is great with your diagnosis.
Positive experience: They seemed to know what they were doing & they were very nice. Sure am sore today...lol
Thank you Nancy for your feedback! Sometimes after therapy you can be sore, I will have Casey reach out to you with recommendations.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional establishment. Highly recommend
Thank you Rishi!!
Fantastic experience: there's NO ONE like Allen...knowledgeable: he knows what's going on & how to treat hands on. AND offers practical methods i can work with on my own. Lee was also wonderful!
Thank you for the great feedback!! Glad we are able to help
Fantastic experience: I’m posting for John Shubb who is the actual patient. These are his words, “Dedicated professionals who are willing to do whatever it takes to help me walk.” Speaking for myself, Stephanie is wonderful.

Please thank John for us! we are happy to help with his care

Chering thank you for your feedback and for choosing us for your care.
Fantastic experience: I did not have to wait long for my appointment. I was evaluated and given a couple exercises to do at home. I was then scheduled for follow up appointments to work on my issue. It was a smooth well organized process.

I have referred many people to this company and all have been very satisfied with their service., and so am I.
Johnnie can't thank you enough!! thank you for choosing PTI for your care and for referring your loved ones to us.
Fantastic experience: Following 3.5 years since my stroke I have been to several Physical Therapy Clinics(due to insurance limitations) the PTI has been one of the most successful. The PTI therapists are instructive, responsive to suggestions and focused on my goals to recover. They accomplish more in 30 minutes than most other Clinics try in 60 minutes.
Thank you Timothy! glad to hear how helpful we have been for you and appreciate you choosing us.
Fantastic experience: Personable and needs based treatment targeting the areas of the body in distress. Magnificent massage chair that worked penetrating pressure to the entire body from the tips of the toes to the back of the neck. Outstanding service.
Thank you Bernadine!

Fantastic experience: I love learning about the body while I heal. I always look for things to make sense and today Alex helped with that. Can’t wait to see you all again.
Thank you! See you soon!
Fantastic experience: My first visit was educational. Sean tailored my therapy perfectly to my pain points. I was able to follow my printout of exercises to alleviate pain at home. The checkin was easy and informative with a tour of the facility. The outdoor waiting area was ok the day I was there, but it was a sunny day. Hope it's as pleasant on chilly days, but they have fireplace warmers. I would recommend this business.
Thank you Linda! It's been a challenge having to have our outdoor waiting area but we try to make it as best as possible for our patients
Fantastic experience: Efficiently run, knowledgeable experienced staff. Highly recommended.

That is great to hear James!
Fantastic experience: I was fully evaluated and able to describe why I needed to be there. I felt that she was very experienced and knowledgeable. Then I was started on a treatment that I never thought I needed. I’m finally feeling relief and can’t wait to heal.
That is great news Stacey! We will get you better soon!
Fantastic experience: Excellent, knowledgeable PT’s. The nicest, warmest, most efficient staff. I look forward to my appointments and that has never happened before with other physical therapy places I’ve been at. Parking is tricky…don’t know where Luis, the valet is. He used to be able to park any vehicle anywhere, safely. A parking genius! But it seems we’re on our own now. No big problem. This is a really superior place for Physical Therapy.
Thank you for your feedback Jennifer and for trusting us with your care.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and discussed in detail the necessity of the patients by end in terms of therapy.
Glad to have you under our care Scottie!

When I was done with my PT I had no pain in my knee. It was unbelievable. I give the credit to everything Donna and Marco taught me. They were/are the greatest! It was a happy place to go. Very upbeat. Stephanie kindly greeted me every day I arrived. She’s a sweetheart! She made me feel at home. She also helped a lot with my paperwork and appointments. I will miss Donna, Marco and Stephanie.
