My body has endured many injuries over the years--broken ankle, wrist, lung surgery--and I've spent over 15 years seeing different specialists to manage my pain and maintain mobility. I've tried countless techniques, but nothing has compared to the experience I've had with Dr. Letgolts. After just one session, my body felt more open and aligned than ever before. Tension I didn't even realize I was holding released, and I woke up feeling lighter and more balanced. What truly sets Dr. Letgolts apart is his unique approach--not just focusing on isolated issues, but helping me understand the bigger picture of how my body functions and heals. This new perspective has activated my body's natural healing abilities in a profound way. I'm incredibly grateful for Dr. Letgolts' expertise and compassionate care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for lasting relief and a deeper understanding of their body's potential to heal. read more

Went in 6 months ago with some mild to moderate complaints, mainly just needed new insoles, and came out with so many more problems than I went in with. In the intake, Dr Letgolts very quickly and confidently came to the conclusion that I had a true leg length difference and stuck a heel lift in my shoe. For context, his methodology is all about getting to the root of issues by resolving underlying compensation patterns and bringing the body into correct alignment. And because one compensation pattern sort of stacks on top of the next, the idea is that when one compensation pattern is resolved, another one is revealed, and so on. So it's meant to be a process with ups and downs on some level and I had a high level of commitment to seeing it through. The thing is, I not only have plenty of issues now that I didn't have at the start, but I also still have almost every problem I did have at the start. His egotism is not as overt as some other doctors, but in this situation, that made it all the more insidious. When his solutions to the broadening scope of problems repetitively didn't help, made something else worse, or made a brand new problem pop up, there was no humility, culpability, or even an admission that anything was off in his treatment plan. Despite me bringing up the leg length assessment many times as a possible cause, his conviction that this was a messy process but one that would eventually pay off, kept me following his lead for much longer than I should have. And in that time, allowed the situation to get even worse and more chaotic. My list of questions and concerns grew as a result, and at one point he had the audacity to suggest that the time spent on them was the reason why we weren't progressing. That was the last appointment we had. I've since had multiple doctors confirm that I do not in fact have a true leg length difference and that the combination of the heel lift and his severe over-correction to my orthotics were the causes of the situation being what it was. Things have slowly started to improve but I have so much further to go now than I would've if I had just never set foot in that office. I don't how much of it was biases and how much of it was pride that blinded him to the reality of my situation, But either way, Hugely demoralizing waste of time, energy, and money read more

Dr Letgolt and Brian are caring and professional and knowledgeable. I liked their holistic approach. read more

Letgolts method is by far the best PT service I've ever had. As a long time back sufferer, I'd been to all different types of treatment. So many PT offices rely on ultrasound (worthless), electric stim ( worthless, go buy an at-home tens unit) and mechanical traction (beyond worthless). Letgolts is unique because he is fully hands on and It is very very effective. He has help me prevent back surgeries, has taken me out of severe back pain, even after other PTs had given up. Highly recommend Dr. Letgolts and his associates! read more

Dr Letgolts is by far the best PT of I have gone to over the years. I was told by multiple Orthopedic doctors to replace a couple of the vertebrae in my neck. Dr. Letgolts saved me from having to go under the knife. He doesn't just have knowledge from his years of study but he has an innate sense at figuring out each persons individual body. His approach is holistic one . Most PT's focus only on one body part. which leads to limited recovery. His approach I feel is one that leads to lasting success. I am thrilled I have found Dr. Letgolts. read more

Of the myriad physical therapists I have consulted over the years. Dr. Letgolts is without doubt the best. His method is definitely not without pain but I think we're making progress in addressing some long-time terrible posture due to scoliosis and a pretty lop-sided body. I hope to remain long term in Dr. Letgolts's care. read more

Dr. Letgoltz is the best of the BEST! I have a long history with physical therapy having had my first ACL replacement in 1996 and my second one in 2009. Over the years I've experienced a LOT of different PT's with a variety of backgrounds and capabilities from gifted to practically worthless. I was blessed to have a dear friend who was a gifted PT with his own company where he developed aquatic PT practices that were very effective. He rehabbed me after my first ACL replacement. I felt like he was the 'best of the best'.... until he retired and then referred me to Dr. Letgolts when my hip needed to be replaced earlier this year. Dr L is in a class of his own! I had some pretty good PT in the rehab center after my hip replacement and then at-home PT which was worthless. By the time I saw Dr L I was walking but was experiencing pain and discomfort if I walked for any distance. After just my first visit I felt 100% better and he was the first one to actually evaluate me to figure out mechanically why I wore my hip out in the first place! He's hand's on and over the months he's worked on every aspect of my alignment. I feel extremely blessed to have found him and have referred him to everyone and anyone who needs PT. I can say without a doubt you couldn't be in better hands!! Consequently, he's very much in demand so I also have to give a shout-out to his amazing staff who work tirelessly to work you into his schedule! So grateful I found Dr. Letgolts. read more

I had a very negative and traumatic experience at this office a while ago. Upon my first appointment, Dr. Letgolts tried to crack my back (where I had been experiencing pain). I was not expecting this as he calls himself a physical therapist, not a chiropractor. This attempt at cracking my back did not work and sent a very scary sharp pain through my body that made me cry because it was so scary and painful. He then prescribed me inserts for my shoes that were expensive, yet make-shift with tape and such. I wore them for a while after this incident and they did nothing to help me with the body pain I was experiencing. read more

i found the office staff incredibly unhelpful and difficult to deal with. Moreover, they represented things that could not be possible.

Dr. Leftgolts is without question the best physical therapist in Southern California. And I should know. For 55 years I have suffered from a fractured vertebrae, disc herniations and now 2 slipped vertebrae. In just 3 visits he has gotten me 3/4 ways back to my pre slipped vertebrae condition. He is the only health care practitioner to study my foot, hip and spine situation as being totally interrelated. He is now reshaping my arches with special interim orthotics and has taught me back exercises and leg strengthening exercises that are designed to normalize my anatomical shortcomings. If you have a bad back or bad hips or bad posture and some serious pain , see him first --- not last. I've seen scores of chiropractors and acupuncturists and orthopedists over 50 years and he is the very best I've ever treated with. You can't do better. read more

Waited quite sometime before writing this review. Wanted to make sure that I had done some further research and had results to back up my story, as my experience at this clinic was anything but pleasant. First, I was 15 minutes early before they opened ( 9:00am) and was the first patient in line to get in. Almost 35 minutes after their opening (at 9:35am ) I finally got in, which was already odd to me since I like to make a good impression on anyone I meet the first time. Especially when I am going to charge them an arm and a leg for an initial a consultation. 35 minutes later, (I was told on the phone that the session would be between 45 min to an hour) I was literally rushed out as the next patient was ready to come in. I was diagnosed with foot pronation and told to get an insert, which I had initially asked the doctor to avoid at any cost. ( simply didn't think that was the source of my problem- for both personal and research reasons) After having others look at my pain, my diagnosis was that my rotator cuff on the left leg was displayed by the impact of a fall off my bike. Once I was treated based on that diagnosis the progress was beyond amazing. I can only imagine how I would feel today if I took Dr Letgolts advice. I don't assume willfully wrong doing by anyone, that said, after paying $295.00 for my 35 minute initial fee with a wrong diagnosis, I can't find a way to justify not sharing my experience with others. read more

When I first entered Dr. Letgolts office, I was in constant pain. My life felt like a constant battle. Within a month, I could take walks, and began to feel good again. Now, I can exercise every day, and I feel like myself most of the time...Letgolts gave me back my life, and I have so much hope now that I can get better and better. I cannot express how much gratitude I have. If you feel you are beyond help, please give Letgolts a chance to help! He is a miracle worker. read more

Doctor of physical therapy, engineer, dancer; the perfect marriage of three complementary perspectives allowing the doctor to see his patients in their individual true light and form. This is what makes Dr. Letgolts special and successful in treatment, since he is not bound by one set of predetermined guidelines, thus granting his mind the freedom to see the patient as a whole rather than as only an aching part. The previous therapists I visited, did see me as a hip, knee, or ankle, ignoring the body as a unit, and my severe case of pronation. When I came to see Dr. Letgolts, he immediately determined that all my problems stemmed from my faulty "foundation", my feet that fell in with each step and damaged my hips. Unfortunately, in my case, I came in too late to avoid surgery, but recovered quickly due to Dr. Letgolts' caring, professional,knowledgeable care. I continue to come in for "tune-ups" because years of compensation had an effect on the positioning of my head and shoulders, causing tight muscles and fascia that need addressing. If you are experiencing any pain or structural issues, I advise you look no further, the master is here. I have three friends who attest to that fact with their gratitude. Liz S read more

I am what is sometimes referred to as a "difficult-to-treat" patient - having suffered from debilitating chronic migraines for many years. I have worked with MDs, acupuncturists, chiropractors, osteopaths, holistic practitioners, massage therapists and energetic healers. I would rate Dr. Letgolts as one of the highest level practitioners I have encountered. An average chiropractor will do a cursory diagnostic analysis and then impose a set of generalized actions that more or less address the problem in a fairly generic way. On the other hand, the experience of Dr. Letgolts's approach is one of precision and specificity. There is a sense of profound connection with the core areas from which the pain originates - not a coarse approximation but a highly specific and nuanced engagement with the dynamics of the problem. The term I have coined for the experience of Dr. Letgolts's work is "Kinesthetic Empathy" - the comforting sense, conveyed through physical therapeutic care, that the practitioner has a powerful understanding of the pain that I am experiencing - gets right to the core of the problem, facilitates healing and offers relief from chronic pain. Dr. Letgolts is also an excellent listener and communicator - he is able to take in a great range of data and work with a complex set of issues and symptoms to approach the problem in a dynamic way. I live out of the Los Angeles area, and I have made a point of seeing Dr. Letgolts whenever I am in town. read more

This has been the best physical therapy experience I can remember. I am in the medical field and very careful about where I receive care. The doctor is knowledgeable, professional, and patient. I feel as if he has all the time in the world and that my health is of utmost importance. He has decreased my neck pain and best of all, avoid surgery. His hands on approach is rare these days so I am very happy to have been referred to his office. The office is serene and unhurried. I highly recommend Dr. Letgolts. read more

I have had hip, shoulder, neck and some arthritis problems for years, all on my left side, without fully understanding EXACTLY what my issues were. I had been going to chiropractors and Body Workers for years and Dr. Letgolts was the first to really explain the problems of pronation and height difference in legs. Not only did he explain, he actually helped me and surprisingly quickly. I felt pain literally leave my body from the first few minutes of using his temporary orthotics and adjusting my walking. I have been working with him for about 5 months and cannot believe how pain free I am in my hip and neck and I even have very little reaction to my arthritis in left thumb joint. He is extremely focused, attentive and his methods are quick and effective. More than that, he is a MASTER at what he does. Both my parents now being helped by him. I cannot say enough about Letgolts Method. So grateful. read more

A couple of months after having joint replacement surgery I was prescribed physical therapy. I ended up wasting one of my 12 yearly visits at another local physical therapist. I found Dr. Letgolts on my providers website. On my initial visit he spent a half hour talking to me one on one, getting a complete understanding of my history. He also thoroughly reviewed my posture, stance and ability to walk. He does not overbook, so he was not running from room to room tending to other patients...it was truly one on one PT. Dr. Letgolts then went to work on my leg really getting into the muscles and stretching everything. He has been helping me relearn to walk, and train my muscle to start firing again...my glutes have been a problem as my incision from surgery affected my glutes muscles. He also corrected my stance and posture...he created orthodics for my shoes and within a week and a half I am walking normally again. I am having another surgery in a few month...I plan on starting physical therapy with him one week after surgery. read more

I've only been to Dr. Letgolts once, but that's all it took for me to know I'd found an amazing doctor who could help me. My situation: I hurt my knee a few years ago, did not feel comfortable with my doctor who saw me, and I just allowed it to heal naturally, as he recommended. Now, a few years later, I hurt the same knee, but in a different manner. Running and physical activity are very important to me, so being unable to run, lift weights, row, etc., has been difficult, even for this short period of time. Dr. Letgolts made me feel very comfortable. He allowed me to explain my story, and he listened to me without interrupting. He was thorough in his explanations but not confusing, and he explained to me what was going on with my body. He also had a warm bedside manner. From my experience, it's hard to heal when you feel uncomfortable at the doctor's office, particularly when it's necessary to relax your muscles long enough for the doctor to assess your issues. But because of Dr. Letgolt's kind and professional demeanor, even the first visit was not awkward. I left his office feeling relieved that my knee problems are going to be taken care of, and that they will be addressed from the source of the problem rather than having a doctor give me treatment that results in a band-aid type effect, or a system that ensures I will need treatments for years and years to come. I feel confident that my treatment is going to go well, and I'm truly thankful to have found Dr. Letgolts. read more

I am a 44 year old fitness trainer, physical therapy aide, and aging athlete with many past injuries: ACL reconstruction, herniated lumbar & cervical discs, dislocated/fractured shoulder, compression fractures of the thoracic vetebrae, and the list goes on. I have spent over $60,000 on surgeons, chiropractors, and (3 dozen) physical therapists all over the country. So, I speak with as much experience as any professional athlete with a lifetime of injuries and over-used body parts. Dr. Letgolts is easily one of the best therapists in the country if not the world. He has an extensive knowledge of pain related issues; muscle/scar adhesions, nerve impingements, myofascial interactions, etc. and his cause & effect treatments & exercises work wonders. I have sent 100's of people in his direction including my mother. Many had seen other types of health professionals to no avail. After just a few appts. all of them have thanked me for referring them to 'Allen'. If it were not for Dr. Letgolts I am certain I would not be as healthy, active and pain free as I am today. I have learned a great deal from his treatments and I consult with him regularly for treating my clients (many of whom are also his patients).

Wow. Dr. Letgolts is amazing. I had complained about being "out of balance" with pain in knees, back and shoulders. I went to 4 specialists who did not help. I went to Dr. Letgolts for PT for a shoulder surgery. He said I was a bit early for the surgery PT and I needed to only do isometric exercises. In the meantime, he said that I was out of balance and walking like an old man. He made orthotics in the office and immediately I was more in balance and walking more efficiently. I can climb stairs again and my stamina is increasing. I highly recommend him to anyone needed physical therapy. I have been to others and none have helped as much as Dr. Letgolts. Great part he is two blocks away and I can walk to therapy. read more

I have Yelp to thank for my good fortune in finding Dr. Letgolts. I was looking for a Physical Therapist in my neighborhood, stumbled upon these glowing reviews for the Letgolts Method, and figured it was worth a shot. I'm so glad I did. Dr. Letgolts' knowledge and experience are surpassed only by his caring and attentiveness. My first visit was almost an hour long. On subsequent visits, I have never felt rushed nor have I left without getting excellent treatment and relief. I haven't had an experience this positive with a doctor... well...EVER. And, the best part is that I've finally found relief from my back pain. Dr. Letgolts has succeeded for me where about a dozen other doctors have failed. I highly recommend that you give him a call if you're in need. He's worked miracles for me. read more

I had been experiencing hip pain for over a year. First only when running but eventually all the time and I was forced to give up running and curtail other activities. I went to my doctor, went to a physical therapist, two stretch therapists and even hired a personal trainer. Nothing worked and eventually I ended up at a UCLA orthopedist. He diagnosed me with hip flexor tendonitis and recommended physical therapy. I had been told about Letgolts by my Pilates instructor so I decided to give him a shot. I had by this point resigned myself to the fact that this was a chronic condition and I'd never run or bike again. Within 5 minutes of my first appointment he had diagnosed me with a leg length difference and started making me a custom orthotic insert. I had never heard of orthopedic inserts and never been told I had a leg length difference. Honestly I was thinking this is never going to work!!! To my great surprise and delight I was pain free within 2 days and back to running within the week. I am completely pain free. It's amazing and I cannot recommend Letgolts Physical Therapy enough. I'd give more stars if possible! read more

I had an old shoulder injury that came back to haunt me and it was very painful and kept me from doing a lot of physical activities. Dr. Letgolts was recommended to me last November. I hesitated a number of weeks before going, and once I went, I knew I was in good hands. It took a few months of intense physical therapy, and now my arm and shoulder are better than before. I wish I had known about him when I first injured it, I could have saved myself a lot of years of limited motion and sleepless nights. I will continue to go for maintenance and now that the shoulder is better, I may have him tackle my hip! read more

I've been to 6 different PTs over the years. With them I've had some level of success with different areas of body problems. I was recommended to see Dr. Letgolts. So I tried him, as my issues were getting much worse. His approach is TOTALLY different than any of the others I previously visited. Instead of just strengthening the muscles around the problem as a solution, he deals with the problem ! Within 2 visits, my pain was dramatically lessened and some thereafter, GONE. All of my issue areas where tied to one major issue, not separate ones. He addressed that main issue and I'm feeling better than ever and can now move around pain free. GO SEE HIM !!! read more

I had been suffering from a painful and swollen knee for a couple of years. Twice I consulted a highly experience orthopedist about the problem, but he deemed it "wear-and-tear" and not treatable. Observing my ongoing difficulty, my workout teacher encouraged me to make an appointment with Dr. Letgolts. I began our first meeting by asking Dr. Letgolts if he "wanted to hear the whole story" of my knee. He smiled sagely and said he could already tell what the problem was. It turned out that, like many people, I have legs of slightly uneven length. This was corrected by orthotics and body work. The improvement was immediate; it felt like a miracle. How I wish I had seen him sooner. He is GREAT. read more

Dr. Letgolts is a really amazing doctor. I saw him for 6 months and he helped me get back on my feet. I've been to many physical therapists and he truly is the best. He gave me individualized attention and he was also caring and thoughtful. He was also very knowledgeable of my injury and assessed my issues immediately. He helped me get back on my feet. His staff is very kind and caring as well. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr Letgoltz is brilliant and insightful. He has a deep background, which you can read about on his website. He also has a mind that is open to new ideas and he listens to the patient. I came to him for a very complex issue that came from being hypermobile. It is very very rare that I find a doctor who understands what extreme hypermobility can do to joints. Dr Letgoltz was great! My ability to walk has greatly improved. Walking. Kind of a big deal. Most doctors have been either dismissive or my condition has bumped up against their limitations. (People whose egos are all tied up in success don't like it when they're stymied, and many have called me names or accused me of faking it for insurance, which is weird becuase very often I was paying out of pocket and had no insurance.) Have you ever noticed that when you're at the edges of some people's expertise, their ability to think logically evaporates? It's as if you're threatening their entire identity. Dr Letgoltz is not like this. He's got a fiery intellect and is well-versed in a number of disciplines that give him a lot of intellectual range - he has a lot of different arrows in his quiver and seems fond of puzzles. His ability to make disparate connections is truly admirable. He was also very very kind to me because I didn't have insurance. I am extremely grateful to him. read more

My husband was told he would never walk correctly or have feeling in his right leg after a football injury in 1969. We were referred by a friend to Dr. Letgolts and in the first visit, he UNFROZE my husband's kneecap and by the third visit, had restored feeling to his leg. It is a MIRACLE! Dr. Letgolts has my husband kicking like a Rockette, and walking balanced, without limping! He is no longer in pain! The office staff is friendly and professional. I recommend him to anyone who has suffered and wants help from the BEST!! read more

Dr. Allen Letgolts is AWESOME! For 15 Years I lived with severely inhibited range of motion in my ankle that eventually also started causing problems with my knee, restricting my activities because of pain and swelling. I'm a very athletic person, and having to cut back on things like tennis and running was starting to become depressing. I had been told by two different orthopedic surgeons there was nothing they could do, and saw three other physical therapists that had very little impact. From the first visit when Dr. Letgolts said with confidence that he could indeed "fix" me, I started seeing results. While experiencing amazing and immediate changes, I cried tears of joy in his office twice. Within literally one month I have almost gained back full range of motion! It's like a miracle to me! His intuition, creativity, dedication and unique approach made all the difference. I have the utmost respect and confidence in his abilities and highly recommend him! read more

For over a year I have had trouble walking due to arthritis and hip pain. I had been told by my orthopedist and a consultant that nothing could be done but the pain to walk was unbearable, Dr. Letgolts did an extensive assessment of my pain, walk and arm movement. He told me that the orthodics I was wearing were not doing the job and that I needed an orthodic that was a whole sole long. Just using a temporary insole that he modified meant that I walked without pain for the first time in months. He is just a master who really listens and then treats. I have had just four sessions with him and already my life has changed - not running yet but walking well. read more

Letgolts PT is the only place that fixed my Plantar Fasciitis. Allen is not only very smart , but professional and patient. One of the rare gems in Santa Monica. Jeff and the staff are very nice and helpful as well. I miss this place as i have move back to nyc and no one can help me here. read more

I have had a painful lower back issue for the past twenty years and have gone to numerous chiropractors, massage therapists, podiatrists to help me with it. I have had orthotics, tens machines, manipulations to deal with it. Not until I went to Dr. Letgolts did anything make sense. He is the only one who measured my legs, found one leg is shorter than the other which caused my sacrum to tilt and cause undo stress on the ligaments and muscles. Painful. He built orthotics that made up for the height differentiation which made a huge difference. Recent xrays of my pelvic area clearly showed the sacrum tilting which he diagnosed 5 years ago. He understands the mechanics of the body and how the body responds to movement having been a dancer himself. I have sent numerous people to him over the years. He'a great! read more

Many years ago, I injured my shoulder. Subsequently, I visited multiple doctors and physical therapists; all to no avail. Recently, I was referred to Dr. Letgolts and, within a very short time, he gave me back my full range of motion and substantially diminished my chronic pain. I couldn't recommend him more highly! read more

I have been going to Dr. Letgolts for about 10 years. I was referred to him by a friend and I am very thankful for the referral. Dr. Letgolts is extremely knowledgeable and can figure out what your ailment, injury is merely by watching you walk. He doesn't take x-rays (thankfully), but can tell right away what is wrong and how to fix it. He was the first person to recommend and build orthotics for me which was a lifesaver. I have them in my running and walking shoes. I see Dr. Letgolts only when I have an issue, injury and he always gets to the root of it immediately. I usually have one follow-up visit and that's it! He is not the type of Doctor who tells you to keep coming back in, unless it is vital that you do. All in all, he is a great Doctor, kind, thorough and knowledgeable as is his staff. I recommend him all the time to my athletic friends and will continue to do so. Anyone with any physical ailment should go see him! read more

I have been a very active person all of my life competing in sports at a high level. The many years of hard training along with injuries and several surgeries have taken a major toll on my body to the point where I was seeing chiropractors up to 3 times weekly to help me deal with the pain. Fortunately one of the chiropractors suggested that I see Dr. Letgolts as she felt Letgolts was the best option for me as my chronic neck pain was related to my feet and how I made contact with the ground. She also intrigued me by describing Dr. Letgolts as an engineer of the body where he has a unique approach by dealing with the body as a structure where all parts are connected and impact one another. I took this advice over 10 years ago and scheduled an initial appointment with Dr. Letgolts which was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He did address my feet and leg length issue with orthotics which I wear every day. He also worked on my chronic neck/back issues. As I result I went from seeing chiropractors several times every week to seeing Dr. Letgolts once every two months for maintenance visits. In my opinion, Letgolts is the "The Best" at dealing with the body and I am very thankful for the doctor who referred me to Dr. Letgolts initially. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Letgolts to anyone dealing with pain. read more

I heard about Dr. Letgolts from a colleague who praised his work with her issues stemming from Fibromyalgia. I too suffer from Fibromyalgia and cervical disease for 25 years of intermittent pain from cervical disk disease. I spent too much time on my stationary bike one evening, woke up with mild lower back pain and went to my usual doctor (MD) who administered trigger point injections of Lidocaine.. When the Lidocaine wore off, I could hardly walk down the stairs from my office to the parking lot.. I had the worst back pain - pain which I never experienced before. I went back to my doctor who gave me a Torridol shot, Rx for Prednisone and pain killers. He said the pain would go away soon. It didn't and only increased in unbearable intensity. So another Torridol shot and no more Prednisone just Advil and pain killers. I had an MRI and herniated lumbar and sacral disks appeared. I knew these were not new results. No sleep, working in pain I was sent to UCLA Comprehensive Spine Care Clinic which was a fiasco - the awful Dr. wrote 3 recommendations on the paper covering the patients' exam table -- PT and meds, epidural, surgery. He referred me to the UCLA PT Clinic upstairs from the Spine Center. This was a joke -- the wait was 3-6 months for an appointment and the kind receptionist told me that with my insurance I could get good private care.. I saw an MD Physiatrist who was much kinder than the brusque doctor at UCLA Spine Center and he spoke of the same options. I was in such desperate pain that I even found a surgeon and made an appointment. Before that appointment with the surgeon ( which I cancelled) I spoke with my colleague and she told me to go see Dr. Letgolts. Thank heavens I did. He is wonderful, professional and inspires confidence. He is all hands on physical therapy and has great knowledge of the mechanics of the human body. After just a couple weeks of treatment my pain subsided. It is almost fully cured now except for some numbness in my toes and side of one calf. I find the treatments and exercises are immensely helpful and Dr. Letgolts has worked miracles for me. I was depressed, couldn't do my normative activities except I needed to work and did so in excruciating pain. I'm back to being myself thanks to Dr. Letgolts. I recommended him unequivocally. He's amazing! I also like his staff. Dr. Judith Bin-Nun Ph.D. read more

This is not a review about the Dr. just his bad business practice/ billing office. I have been to many physical therapists previously and this is by far the worst experience I have had (prior to even meeting the Dr.). I am very fortunate to have excellent insurance and am very familiar with my policy and it's benefits. Deborah in the billing office continues to misquote my benefits even though I have now confirmed TWICE with my provider that they are an "IN network provider" and I have also reconfirmed my benefits with Blue Cross/Blue Shield as the member. Deborah then, also stated "The Dr. doesn't like to chase bills and they pretty much know how much the copay will be." My policy states NO copay at the time of office visit, which is apart of my plan that I pay for, and is something that they also agree to when they sign the contract to be a Blue Cross/Blue Shield provider. I told Deborah that I would be writing this review "she told me not to and that they would have it removed" This could be the best Physical Therapist in the whole world for all I know, but I don't appreciate treated so badly by his billing office. I have done nothing wrong and am only asking them to comply with the terms of insurance that they agreed to as a provider. Lesson learned... Check with your insurance before you give them any money! read more

Dr.Letgolts saved me from going under the knife. Where all surgeons saw only one way to fix my problem-surgery, he managed to relieve me from 2 years of constant pain using only his hands. It was the first time I went to see a doctor who looked at my body as a whole not just addressing a specific area where the pain was. And explained and showed to me how everything is connected. I came looking for pain relief and not only was he able to accomplish that but also help with my poor posture that I have struggled with all my life, educated me and gave me my life back. I live a very active lifestyle and I can't recommend this man enough. Very grateful that my friend, whom he also saved, send me to him. You're in good hands here. Focused care, not treating 7-8 patients at a time, beyond knowledgeable worth every penny. It's my health after all. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Letgolts saved my life. I suffered from 20 years of increasingly debilitating muscle-neck-shoulder pain. Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) that I had tried until finding him either didn't help or worse, made the pain worse by further destabilizing my body. I was getting hopeless, thinking that I'd just have to live with the pain and accept that my spinal degeneration/stenosis/etc. would just get worse over time. In just 6 months, I am PAIN FREE. I am so grateful for his work and his expertise in properly diagnosing ad treating people. He has a holistic understanding of the body and doesn't just see the problem in a piecemeal and isolated way. If anyone is experiencing any type of pain in the body, I highly recommend him. I joke with him that I will be a lifetime patient, only because I want regularly tune-ups to keep my body as properly aligned and pain free as possible for the rest of my life. read more

I'm having my third course of physical therapy with Dr Letgolts and have come to rely on his skill in treating my arthritic shoulders and post-polio syndrome in my feet. As other patients have noted, he has a holistic approach to treating the body, giving me increased mobility in my arms and in walking. There is no cure or quick fix for an octogenarian whose problems have been growing over many years. So I appreciate the incremental improvements that allow me get around unaided and should add years to my life. It also helps that Allen has a sense of humor and a deep sense of purpose. I cannot recommend him too highly. read more
