BreakThrough Physical Therapy - Sunnyvale, California

All the sessions were both effective and highly educational. Although progress was initially slow, the team shared a clear game plan and emphasized the importance of patience and consistency with sessions and exercises. This approach significantly helped me rebuild strength in my left shoulder within 8-10 weeks. I’m grateful for the incredible staff (Stephen and Emmanuel) and would highly recommend their services!

This is a great business. I've worked with a lot of different people on their staff and everyone is knowledgeable, great listeners, very friendly and provided me with plans that helped me with two separate injuries. I had a foot injury that has improved night and day. My lower back injury has drastically improved as well. I went from barely being able to stand up without pain to being back to physical activity. This place is great. Even the staff at the front desk are great. They're also very responsive over email. This will be my go-to spot for any injury that needs rehabilitation.

This establishment is a complete scam! The billing counter is extremely aggressive, and my therapist turned our sessions into her own sob story, prioritizing her personal issues over mine. As the top therapist, I felt uncomfortable reporting her. When I canceled my appointments, I discovered a hefty fee. They have a deceitful policy of waiving the first cancellation fee but charging for subsequent cancellations without clear disclosure.

My initial case was for knee treatment, involving core, hip, and lower back strengthening. However, when I reported lower back pain, I wasn't informed that it was related to the same bone structure. My therapist didn't educate me and instead opened a new case with similar exercises, charging me double for the same treatment.

Patients deserve transparency from the start. We rely on healthcare professionals to educate us, but Front Dear lacks transparency and exploits patients. Be cautious when reporting pain, as they may open new cases and charge exorbitant fees.

After I complained, the director offered to 'work it out' but continued scheduling appointments for the new case. I sent an email canceling all appointments, but they created new ones and blamed me for not showing up. They DISCARDED me, saying it 'won't work out' because I called out the front desk n not showing up for fake appointments.

This establishment is a big scam, using fake appointments to manipulate clients. They prioritize profits over patient care, taking advantage of vulnerable individuals. Be extremely cautious and aware of their tactics. Rules and regulations seem non-existent, and they will trick you. Be vigilant!"

I use the place already a few times in the past and they are great. I worked with Elizabeth, who was truly outstanding. She is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to understand my specific issues. She developed a personalized exercise plan that was both effective and manageable. Her guidance and support throughout the sessions were invaluable.

Thanks to Elisabeth's expertise and dedication, my shoulder is in much better shape now. I’m no longer experiencing the pain that was once a constant part of my daily life. I highly recommend The BreakThrough to anyone in need of physical therapy. They provide excellent care and truly make a difference.

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Ruchira at Breakthrough Physical Therapy.  I was unable to bear weight on my right wrist for about 5 years, and finally decided to try PT.  Through a comprehensive series of tests & exercises, Ruchira methodically and patiently explored all possible sources of muscle & nerve pain (it was very unclear where the pain was originating from), and eventually pinpointed the source of the elusive pain in my ring-finger tendon.  She taught me how to mobilize, massage, stretch, and strengthen that area, resulting in total elimination of pain and ability to bear weight in my arms -- I can finally do yoga again after many years!  Not only that, but she identified the root cause of my wrist injury -- shoulder blade muscle weakness & instability -- and coached me through a series of targeted exercises to gradually strengthen that area.  Thanks to her help, I'm hoping to be able to eventually lift heavy weights, something I never thought my body could handle!  I've since been discharged and have switched over to a Breakthrough Wellness Package (which they allowed me to purchase at a discounted rate), and still see Ruchira twice a month or so -- I've realized I cannot live without her!  She has helped me troubleshoot other aches and pains in my jaw (TMJ pain), neck, ankle, & hips -- she's always able to identify the root cause and provide exercises that significantly help, every time.  I've learned so much from Ruchira -- she has this incredible knowledge of the body and how everything works together holistically.  She also has such a warm & friendly personality!  I'd recommend that anyone with muscle, tendon, nerve, or any type of pain book an appointment with Ruchira!

Thank you so much Nate Morla and Breakthrough team for taking such great care of me over the past few months and for helping me recover.

I needed PT for two separate injuries (Shoulder and Quadricep).

I was apprehensive about PT to beging with. However, the moment I spent one session with Nate, I knew that I'm in safe hands and built confidence that I'll recover fully.

Nate identified the issues right away. Nate is soft spoken, a great listener and was able to go more intense or easy based on my physical condition on that day.

He followed up on the PT exercises that he carefully tailored based on how comfortable I was. That helped me keep up with the recovery process. He also knows when to push and what exercises are effective for me.

The re-evaluation and appointment scheduling proesses are very smooth and helped me schedule my sessions easily.

I highly recommend Breakthrough PT in general and Nate in particular!!

Thank you again Nate and Breakthrough PT.

I struggled with runner's knee (though I'm not a runner, ironically) for 4 years and couldn't do basic things like walk normally, jog, run, or hike due to knee pain. My first attempt at PT through my healthcare provider failed and left me in a slightly less painful state but still unable walk 100% normally. I decided to go to BreakThrough and was assigned to Stephen Lee as my primary DPT, and he made a world of difference! He took the time to really understand my condition prior to beginning my program. He also committed to having me be able to jog again in 4 months, encouraged me along the way, and easily met that timeline. Today, I'm able to do light jogs and don't experience the pain I used to. Now it's up to me to maintain the strength he helped me build back up. If you're looking for a solid DPT, I'd definitely recommend working with Stephen!

Thank you, Stephen, for such great care and dedication! Grateful to finally feel back to my normal self and looking forward to ending this year even stronger!

Some people have already written reviews about the way they do the billing. Well, that's true. Even if you have the best insurance, be mindful you will end up paying. So unless, you have zero copay and zero deductibles, i would suggest to find other provider. Service is okay. I looked at my EOB on insurance provider website, and its amazing to see that they charge for multiple services within a 20-30 min session. This does not seem fair, neither to patient, nor to insurance company.

So as i stated earlier, read all reviews specifically on the billing and decide.
