What Our Clients Say

If you want the Best, come to Alameda Orthopedic and Sports Therapy. I have been to many and believe me this is the best. You get the best of care. The staff is excellent in every way. They care. And that is important. I swear I’ll never go anywhere else. They are like family. You can’t find anyplace better than this.

–C. Lewis

I’ve been going to Alameda Orthopedic & Sports Therapy for the last few months due to a couple of injuries. The entire staff – everyone from reception to the “interns” to the physical therapists themselves – are always helpful, professional and most importantly, compassionate. AJ and Tianna have been especially instrumental in my recovery and I shall always be grateful for their knowledge and patience. Thank you and keep up the great work!!

–Sharon H.

I was referred to this office by my orthopedic surgeon, and I’m so grateful that he did. Pacific Orthopedic and Sports Rehabilitation is unique in that all of the staff care about your recovery. I have had physical therapy in the past due to other sports injuries and none of my other experiences even compare to the quality of treatment this facility has provided. My physical therapist Travis is professional and is genuinely invested in each of his patients. When I began my treatment with him I was living in the bay area, but because of a new job opportunity I had to relocate to Sacramento. The interpersonal relationships were just as important to me as the actual recovery of my ankle. So, once a week, I drive an hour and 15 minutes to Emeryville specifically to continue my sessions at this facility instead of going to a new physical therapist in Sacramento. The winning combination of medical treatment and friendly personnel at Pacific Orthopedic and Sports Rehabilitation has made me optimistic about my recovery and it keeps me coming back.

–Lauren W.

June 15th, 2012 After suffering a painful peroneal tendon injury in my right foot, my podiatrist has suggested visiting Pacific Orthopedic and Sports Rehabilitation in Emeryville, CA. During my first couple of visits, I dealt with Erica and Azuka as my physical therapists; both were absolutely outstanding in their profession. Not only did they help with the recovery of this injury, they spent the time educating me in the prevention of re-injuring other tendons and muscles for the future. Now about a month and a half from my injury, I feel great and am starting to really get back into my active lifestyle. Thank you to Pacific Orthopedic and Sports Rehabilitation and their terrific staff for returning my life to normal as it should be!!

–L. G.

Just got back from a 4-mile run, and I have Pacific to thank for it! After having meniscus surgery, I was a little apprehensive about whether I’d get back to my pre-injury activity level. Plus, it was the end of winter and the crap weather had me a little down, so it would’ve been easy to slack off my rehab and negatively impact my lifestyle. From the start, I could tell I was in good hands. My PT was Erica, and she was a total ace. Although she put me through a battery of strength and mobility tests, I liked how she started her assessment by simply talking to me, asking me about my rehab goals, sports I played, and the frequency/intensity level that my schedule would accommodate. She designed a program that matched my needs. Will, one of the aides, was great in putting me through my paces and correcting my technique. I noticed he would keep an eye on other patients’ work, so when I finished a set and was ready for the next exercise, he’d seamlessly transition me to an available station and eliminated any momentum-killing waits. Erica maintained her professionalism throughout my rehab, and allowed her personality to shine through in a way that made me feel comfortable and enthusiastic about my visits. She quickly figured out I was motivated by challenges, and adjusted my workouts to keep me engaged. In the grand scheme of things, my injury was pretty minor. My goal was to get back to running/biking/basketball, yet there were older patients who had “real” injuries that severely impacted their ability to simply walk or write. Erica was attentive to their more complex needs as well, whether demystifying some of the specifics so it wouldn’t seem so scary, or just listening to those who needed to talk through their frustrations. She was as compassionate and supportive with them as she was fun and goofy with me, and displayed a genuine sweetness about her. Overall, I had a terrific experience w/Pacific and highly recommend it!
