Reviews of Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy (Psychologist)

Bonnie Danowski

On my first visit, I couldn't lift my hand above my chest line. Dr. Stern took one look and knew that I had torn the long tendon to my biceps. After 8 sessions (and exercises at home), I now can reach straight to the ceiling. I highly recommend Itamar and his team of physical therapists with no hesitation.

Itamar Stern is the Best PT in America!

Mariah Morgan

The best of the best! The owner is amazing and treats his staff like family! The front office ladies are killing the game, and the the techs and physical therapists are changing people's lives! Love foothills!!!

I have been treating for a few weeks now with Erin Zoch, DPT, at the North Central Phoenix location. I am extremely pleased with the facility, the staff, my own progress, and especially Erin's demeanor and knowledge. The surgeon who sent me to Foothills said it's the best physical therapy outfit in town, and I am inclined to agree. UPDATE: I've not been treating for a little shy of a month at Foothills. Erin and Brian are fantastic, and weirdly enough, going to PT is becoming one of the highlights of my week. It feels more like a personal training session than physical therapy most of the time because the environment is collegial, positive, and upbeat (but also relaxing even though treating for a serious injury can be extremely stressful and depressing). I have nothing but good things to say about these folks.

I had right rotator cuff surgery on December 14, 2017. My surgery was performed at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. Foothills Sports Medicine was one of my choices for my physical therapy. I’m so glad I decided to go with them. The entire staff is professional and courteous from the front desk to the physical therapist. They make you feel right at home. I would like to recommend Foothills Sports Medicine to anyone that is in need of physical therapy from a injury or recovery from surgery.

Itamar and those who work for him are fantastic! When any of them are with you...they're really with you. Their focus is on getting you up and running...or cycling...or being the best ballet dancer....or senior citizen. Basically, they want you to be the best that you can be. They take the time and focus on you healing. Everyone, from the receptionists to Itamar want to support you.

Foothills sports medicine PT at Glendale Avenue and 7th Street in Phoenix is really excellent. Jordan (the PT) and his associate Brad are very engaging, encouraging, knowledgable and give. me the client the kind of care and information I need to work on my physical improvement.

Physical Therapy after knee replacements is truly a process of no pain, no gain. My new, good friends at Foothills lessen the pain through their expertise and great personalities to achieve the gains necessary to reach my post-op goals.

The clinic got us in quickly as a new client. The staff at the front were wonderful. The therapist has been amazing and has really helped my son.

Karen Kotalik

Physical therapy is not something I enjoy, but the staff at Foothills, particularly therapist Joe, make it fun for me! Trust me, that's not easy! I get a great workout, everyone cares about the patients, and I am feeling so much better. Once I am released from therapy, I am going to signup to do weekly classes with Barb. I love the energy at this wonderful facility!

Foothils Sports Medicine provides the best in Physical Therapy in my opinion. I have had P T many times and my experience at Foothills in central Phoenix was the best by far. The attention to your injury and needs was superb, focusing on your injury, explaining the approach and being sure you are comfortable with the treatment. Itamar and his staff are knowledgeable, caring, professional and upbeat. No slacking on the job. Foothills Sports Medicine is the place to go for healing, quality treatment.

Linda Williams

Excellent front office experience and amazing care for my dancing daughter’s hamstring. Lots of communication with her on self care and lots of care on their part helping her heal more quickly.

Carl Irwin

Very professional and thorough. Julianna is excellent and has addressed the many issues that are affecting my back problem. The staff is so friendly and always greet me with a SMILE!

Wendy Stiles

Great place to get physical therapy! Itamar, the owner and a physical therapist, is up to date on the latest techniques, including dry needling, and he has helped me rehab from several injuries over the years. I highly recommend this site for rehab for any athlete.

Jes Wood

The staff at Foot Hills is kind and they know their stuff. We are always welcomed when we walk in, Justin and Michael have amazing bedside manner and my daughter actually gets excited to go to PT every week. Great place to go!

Steven Proctor

I had a great time re-rehabilitating and working out here! They made me more knowledgeable, stronger, more flexible, just better all around! Physical therapist Stacey is awesome! As well as many of the helpers such as Morgan, Jenna, Ryan, Veronica, to name a few all very kind and helpful!

Dennis Callahan

Best physical therapy site I've been to. Staff is knowledgable and friendly. Both my wife and I use this site for any PT that we require. Our doctors are amazed at the results that we achieve when working with this team. They exceed their reputation and have great credibility in the community.

Amazing place for PT. Everyone is incredibly friendly and they do a great job of making sure you get the best care possible.

Everyone is so friendly (including the patents!!). I would not hesitate to recommend Erin or Andrea to anyone who is looking for excellent Physical Therapy. Their assistants, Trisha and Brian were also great.

The PTs do an amazing job of being relational and spending the necessary amount of time with each patient. The aids are awesome as well. Favorite part of my morning is going to PT here!

Betty O'Melia

Everyone at Foothills is friendly and great at their particular job. I started not thinking I would ever be okay again and here I am walking and feeling much better with expectations of even more progress.

Connie Gray

Going to therapy for my foot. The front counter office staff are so friendly and always know my name. My therapist Joe is so caring and patient. He spends ample time with me and all the other clients, explains what he is doing and why and what to expect. His assistants are also patient and caring. I really love the app that you can download. You login and your customized program is there for you to follow. You can start and stop the videos and go at your own pace. I’ve been doing my exercises at home everyday. Definitely a great place for therapy!

Kay Switzer

This is THE BEST Physical Therapy team in the world. Everyone is friendly, compassionate and attentive to every part of rehabilitation. They don't push you to do more than you can. It's the only Physical Therapy team I go to for rehab. Thank you to everyone.

Janet Ginder-Berchick

Super positive, friendly and helpful atmosphere. Jordan, DPT, is very smart, supportive and uses a variety of modalities and exercises to help patients regain physical skills. He Rocks! Chloe does a fantastic job moving patients through the prescribed workout programs. They are a great team!

This place has not had a touch of paint or any cleaning of the exposed ceiling insulation and rafters since it opened. The exposed ceiling insulation is a lovely shade of dirty white. The building is not particularly dirty, like dirty tables or floors, but it sure needs to be freshened up, desperately. Also people crowded into one room when a large same size room is blocked off? Save on cost of A/C???? The staff is pleasant (why I have 2nd star) but tend to practice physical therapy like they did in the 70's. Very little, if any manipulation is done to loosen you up before you start exercising. After a bad neck surgery 12 years ago, I have gone to 5 different therapy companies to keep my symptoms down and I would rate Foothills last in just about every catagory. If you are like me and REQUIRE an adequate period of loosening up BEFORE you start exercising you will not get it at Foothills. Despite requesting some manipulation before I started exercising to loosen me up. I received a ~3 minute manipulation, which frankly did very little. I decided, and my spine doctor agreed with my decision, to stop going to Foothills and seek out a physical therapy company that practices like it is 2017, not 1976. And riding a stationary bike is not like manipulation to loose you up. This type of practice is great for rolling in money but not so good for people who require true physical therapy in this modern age. There is just no excuse for not spending any money on keeping a place looking nice when you are collecting huge sums of money and opening new offices while the current ones need attention.

Daniela Moneta

I strained my hip and couldn't walk or sleep without pain. After a couple of therapy sessions, I can walk with little pain.Another couple of weeks with therapy and I should be back to normal. Thanks, Jordan, for diagnosing the problem and helping me.

Jayson Tinsley

The entire staff was super friendly and professional. Julianna was very honest and direct and helped me rehab my knee extraordinarily quickly.

These people are the best!!! I have had good therapists and some really bad therapists in my life and Foothills are just the most caring and professional. Here it is really about you the patient, most places they eventually think it's all about them, they forget what they are supposed to be about. Foothills really continue to care and it really, really, shows. And as you progress the adjust their plan to you so that you you are always getting the best from them unlike other therapists who are too lazy to reevaluate their plans as you grow. They are beyond excellent in there treatment and caring. Nobody else compares.

From the moment you arrive at the door, the staff is courteous, friendly, professional and prompt. Physical therapy is well organized, instructive, and aids my continual recovery. Jordan & Raquel are the two that I work with - they are superb.
