He is extraordinary... He was able to diagnose the source of my plantar fasciitis after two years of pain... He is so knowledgable and clear about his treatment plan... what a relief to find him!

I am a physical therapist and needed some additional help following a back surgery with sciatic nerve issues. Philip was a very knowledgeable, respectful and competent physical therapist. I was able to get the assist I needed to return to work and my prior level of activity. The rest of the staff was very friendly, helpful and skilled as well. I would highly recommend Philip Physical Therapy & their services to others!!

I had a great experience here and got my shoulder working again. Dr. Philip is my physical therapist. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I never thought I would ever have some relief in my shoulder until I met Dr. Philip. However, I'll totally be back if I injure myself again.

Dr. Philip totally exceeded my expectations as to what PT was about. I showed up with limited range of motion and some pain in both shoulders due to years of surfing and lack of stretching. After our first session the range of motion increased significantly. I was very impressed. Not only that but I can't remember the last time my shoulder joints felt so open. I walked out really feeling great. Thanks Philip Physical Therapy!!

I have been seeing Dr. Philip for some complications after a wrist fracture. They are excellent therapists. They communicate with one another about what is going on in my sessions. He has somehow managed to bring the pain level in my shoulder down from excruciating to manageable. I can't tell you how much a caring, friendly staff means to me especially when I am in so much pain. You guys absolutely rock! Thanks Philip Physical Therapy!!

I have been seeing Dr. Philip for pain in my knee and shoulders for a few weeks and it has been a great experience. He takes his time during his evaluation to really pinpoint the issues and talks you through the treatment process and what is best. Thanks and I feel relaxing very much !!

As a result of Philip's expert care after my knee fracture, I am making steady progress toward recovery and my confidence is high. I can't overemphasize the importance of having a good professional to guide you.
Additionally, Receptionist at front desk is excellent at handling insurance and appointment logistics so that the whole process works smoothly and in your favor. Overall, it's a firm recommendation!

Best physical therapy place I've ever been to. Clean, comfortable, and without exception, a very friendly, welcoming staff. I worked with Philip for about two months. Best ever. He knew exactly how much to push me, and when to take it easy. I was in very good hands. Highly recommended!!!

Dr Philip and his team are excellent. I actually found him through my friend. Very happy with Dr Philip knowledge of the body and how all of the pieces work together. I have a bad lower back and he is getting me back into top shape. He's been able to explain to me what needs to happen for me to feel better, which is great. Moreover, he been exceptionally personable and easy to talk to.

My physical therapist Philip was amazing through my entire recovery along with the rest of the staff and aids. There is an immediate welcoming environment that makes you feel super comfortable. Every therapist and aid ask questions on your injury to ensure they are aware and can help in any way they can. They provided a great physical therapy and I highly recommend them.

Me and my entire family have been coming to Peter for years and we couldn't recommend him more. He really cares about each of his patients. He would never tell someone they're ready to return to sport if they aren't and he's just very trustworthy. His track record speaks for itself and the amount of people that swear by him. His service is incomparable!

My experience with Dr Philip has been fantastic. I came in for a pinched nerve in my neck and years of chronic neck and back pain. I left pain-free with a solid understanding of what had caused the issue and techniques to keep myself strong and avoid repeating the same injury.
