Dr. Danny Echeverry treated me twice weekly for nine weeks, for neck and shoulder pain due to spending too much time at my desk and in the wrong position--which in turn had exacerbated an upper-back injury I received over 20 years ago. The modalities he used on my neck, which had been stiff for months, loosened it up to where I can now turn/swivel it in either direction, without pain (something that has doubtless made my neighbors less fearful when I back out of my driveway). About every other visit Dr. Danny would either add a new modality, or up his game with an earlier one. For example, what had started out as rubber-band arm exercises morphed into more viable exercise techniques such as "Open Books," and "T's," and lifting one- to three-pound weights with the elbows bent, etc. I can't say that it wasn't challenging. Physical therapy is a clinical skill practiced by those trained in its use, but for patients? Man, it's work! But never once in my course of treatment did I experience any pain. Dr. D. also had no issues with my asking him to review my treatment with my adult son, who too has a clinical doctorate in P.T. and wanted to keep current with what was happening (he was a pain in the butt as a kid, but he ended up being a good D.P.T.). Whether it was heat, ice, exercises, manipulation, or electrical stimulation, Dr. Danny invariably made the right call. And, what a caring personality. He *listens* to his patients, and one immediately senses that he sees this as his calling: helping patients. Finally, I would be remiss in not mentioning his wonderful assistant, Emelyn, who would observe my exercises, and then apply the patches for my E-stimulation. She always came in halfway through the latter treatment to check on me, and modulate the current. Wonderful young woman. And, the front-office receptionists were courteous and efficient. As soon as Medicare and Writers Guild insurance allow me to return to P.T. in January with the new year, I am heading back to Bechtel. One of the best practices I've ever been to, regardless of specialty. read more

Bechtel Physical Therapy is THE spot to go to for all your physical therapy needs. I tore my ACL and meniscus playing basketball a few years ago and recently had surgery to repair it back in May 2024. From the moment I had my first consultation call with my PT, Dr. Daniel Echeverry, I knew this was the place to go because of how kind and caring he was. I could tell from just that phone call that I would be taken care of and I'd have a good facility to do my rehab in. Bechtel offers a wide range of treatments and modalities, including BFR (BloodFlow Restriction therapy) which is really really good for muscle growth and strength building. I was fortunate to also work with another PT, Dr. Melissa Nepomuceno, for BFR and it was awesome! She's very easy to work with and incredibly supportive. Both Daniel and Melissa are extraordinary physical therapists and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to guide me on my ACL recovery journey. Daniel and Melissa are extremely knowledgeable and I trust their expertise. Apart from their industry and clinical knowledge, they are very kind and friendly, and very easy to get along with! Not only are the physicians great, but the PT aids were just as wonderful. They were outstanding in making sure I was comfortable, and they all provided a safe space for me during my time there. The clinic itself is clean and spacious with multiple machines and workout gear. The front desk staff were also kind and friendly. Bechtel Physical Therapy played a huge role in my ACL recovery and I cannot thank them enough for everything they've done! read more

Earlier this year I completed my ACL repair rehabilitation at Bechtel under the care of Dr. Daniel Echeverry, and I can't express enough how grateful I am for the experience. As a high school athlete this injury was both physically and emotionally challenging. However, Daniel, along with the entire staff, made the journey not just bearable but incredibly fun as well as educational. Daniel was phenomenal as he was not only knowledgeable, but he was patient and genuinely invested in my recovery. He tailored my therapy sessions to meet my goals, ensuring I regained not only my strength, mobility, but most importantly my confidence in my ability with each progression. His expertise kept me motivated, and his encouragement made a huge difference during tough sessions. The entire team at Bechtel was also fantastic from the moment I walked in, everyone was super kind, caring, and genuine which was awesome being in a new environment. Thanks to Daniel and the amazing team, I got back on the court in time for my senior year and had a fantastic season which no further knee issues. I highly recommend Bechtel to anyone needing physical therapy, especially to other athletes. Their dedication, expertise, and family like atmosphere made all the difference in my recovery process! read more

From the moment you step into Bechtel Physical Therapy, you're met with warmth and professionalism. The front desk staff sets a positive tone with their friendly demeanor and efficient service. The PT aides and assistants are equally impressive, always attentive and supportive, making each visit smooth and comfortable. What truly stands out at Bechtel is their commitment to patient privacy. The facility boasts numerous treatment rooms, ensuring that everyone receives manual therapy in a private, focused environment--something I deeply appreciate. Daniel Echeverry is an exceptional physical therapist who has provided crucial care and rehabilitation for a family member of mine. Having been present at the appointments, I can vouch for his knowledge, dedication, and compassionate approach. Bryn Aitken-Young is another standout therapist at Bechtel. Her expertise helped me identify and address areas of compensation and weakness from my marathon training. Thanks to her tailored strength and rehab exercise program, I've experienced significant relief from pain that had been affecting my runs. Overall, Bechtel Physical Therapy is a top-notch facility with a team that genuinely cares about their patients' well-being. Highly recommend! read more

I recently received treatment from PT Melissa Nepomuceno, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. I was very impressed when I first visited the Bechtel Physical Therapy clinic where she works. The place was very clean, well-organized, and has excellent facilities. In the first session, Melissa took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explain the treatment plan in detail. She possesses a remarkable level of expertise, and she has a tremendous level of knowledge for treatments that are best suited for every disorder and concern. She always tailored each session to address my specific needs and goals. She is warm and her compassionate demeanor always makes me feel comfortable and special. Melissa is the third PT I worked with to improve my physical condition after a major surgery. My condition only started improving greatly when I turned to Melissa for my needs. Thanks to her care and dedication, I've made significant progress in overcoming my problems and improving my overall condition. I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone in need of physical therapy. read more

I had shoulder surgery early this year and have remaining only 2 of 4 tendons to my rotator cuff. I had not used physical therapy because I was out of the country for most of the time. I continued to have pain and my range of motion was quite restricted. My doctor suggested that I contact Bechtel Physical Therapy. My experience with Bechtel has been terrific, from the wonderful facility, to the friendly and efficient front desk people, to my first-rate therapist, Brian Anderson, and his assistant, Julie Sico. I think Brian Anderson is at the top of his game -- I have a somewhat difficult case and he is attacking my problems with superior knowledge and sound practice. I am in the middle of my prescribed set of therapy sessions; but my pain is much diminished and my range of motion is greatly improved. I look forward confidently to continued improvement from my work with Brian and Julie. I could not recommend them and the Bechtel team more highly. read more

When I changed my insurance, I had to go to another facility. WRONG MOVE! I quickly came back to Bechtel and Jeff because after 4 different therapy sessions with others only made things worse, and Bechtel and Jeff know just how get things back in shape. I fell and broke my hip, and was not progressing until I returned to Bechtel, even though I am paying for it myself. So worth it! Jeff and Gladys have the right attitude and equipment to deal with my pain. Chris was terrific in setting up 10 straight sessions, and with Bechtel's personal touches and Jeff and Gladys hard work, I am gradually getting back into shape. I have referred four different people to them, and all have given them a thumbs up. The environment is lovely, and the private treatment rooms first rate. The laser machine does wonders and the gym is first rate. read more

I have been going to Bechtel Physical Therapy on and off for several years and the experience has been overwhelming. From the front office to the therapist and her assistant, everyone has exceeded my expectations. I have received therapy on my knee among other things and Melissa and William have provided such care that I now am not even thinking about a potential knee replacement. I have been able to return to golfing with almost no restrictions and pain is so unbelievably minor I don't even consider it a problem. For any difficulty you might be experiencing I highly recommend the staff at Bechtel Physical Therapy. read more

I agree with the others. First they make you sign all sorts of papers that legally, are NOT required. do NOT sign then. First I sat there for one hour (even though I had an appointment) in the most uncomfortable chair ever...could barely get out of it! The rooms are so freezing cold that how can that be helpful for muscles? Then the physiotherapist tells me he doesn't have a diagnosis OR a treatment plan...but I should "probably get some traction" I pointed out that my muscles were freezing, it is always my understanding that muscles need to be warm before they are stretched. they just didn't' care. read more

I have been coming to this location for more than a month, and I only have amazing words to describe this place. Dr. Audrey Clark is an excellent professional with a lot of knowledge. She has a good personality to communicate with patients . She really cares about my physical condition and my evolution. The staff is great too. Very polite and caring. They always try to adjust to my schedule. They are great!!! I do recommend this location...I wish I could give them 10 stars!!! read more

How do you judge physical therapy? Let me count the ways. 1. Your therapists, Melissa Nepomuceno and William Flores are articulate, encouraging, supportive...and funny. 2. The front desk, managed by Fernanda and operated by Alicia, Monica, and Sam, are like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise guiding you through the asteroid fields of bureaucracy for a safe, simple journey. 3. Your health and condition improve! I love this place. read more

These guys are the best in the United States not just Los Angeles as far as I'm concerned. I've suffered two devastating injuries and they have brought me back to health with both -- Jeff you are the best! Go see Jeff or Asher but I'm partial to Jeff. They are great with children as well. I can't recommend them enough. Todd Royal read more

I just started at Bechtel for a very painful condition of my shoulder. I have been to another physical therapy site and never felt as comfortable as I do at Bechtel. Jeff is amazing and after just 4 sessions, I hardly feel any discomfort. As long as you do your follow up exercises at home, this is the place to go! Linda R read more
