Last September I was involved in a horrific accident where a large section of a tree fell on top of me causing multiple injuries including breaking my arm in three places around the elbow requiring four plates and fourteen screws. The mobility in my arm was non-existent and I was sent by my doctors to see the wonderful folks at Select to help rehabilitate my arm. My primary therapist was Blair and she was the greatest, in fact the entire staff was outstanding. I came to therapy twice a week and Blair worked patiently and methodically with me, helping me slowly but surely regain the mobility in my arm and after three months I am almost completely back to normal. I still feel some pain but that is to be expected from an injury like mine, but the mobility is just about 100%. This was important for me as I drive extensively with my job and I could not have possibly done this without the hard work and amazing techniques implemented by Blair and her great crew. I am forever grateful to the wonderful folks at Select and I recommend them highly to anyone who's broken and needs to be fixed!! These diligent professionals are without question, up to the task. read more

As a returning patiens, I can't say enough good things about my experience with Reed my PT! From the moment I started, I felt welcomed, supported, and truly cared for. Reed is very professional, knowledgeable, kind and committed to the success of his patient. He took the time to understand my specific needs and created a personalized plan that really worked. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I've made progress in my recovery and feel better. I like the location. The staff is very kind and the facility is clean and comfortable. read more

I'm so grateful my Neurosurgery PA referred me to Select Physical Therapy. I had explained that other Physical Therapy groups insisted on treating each injury as a separate focus. The trouble with this approach was that exercises for one injury (ie, knee) would aggravate other injuries (ie, lumbar). I explained that I needed a holistic approach that would treat cervical, lumbar & knee injuries. After breaking my neck & undergoing multiple cervical surgeries 9 years ago, soon followed by a bad Physical Therapy experience, I had been nervous about restarting Physical Therapy. I was so relieved & thrilled about PT once I began going to Select Physical Therapy. Blair, my Physical Therapist, is nothing short of amazing. I continue to be impressed by her knowledge, experience & great attitude. From the very beginning, she has carefully listened to my concerns & needs and clearly answered my questions. Each visit she asks how everything is feeling/responding to treatment & manually works on the area most in need. I've been going 2-3 times/wk for ~9 mo. Starting the second week I began noticing increased strength & marked reduction in pain. I've been an athlete most of my life & have had numerous, various injuries that landed me in PT. I can honestly say that Blair & Select Physical Therapy are the best! I love how Blair uses a holistic style that incorporates yoga & Pilates type exercises that strengthen my core as well as entire body, so that I feel better all around & makes the exercises of the injured body parts even more effective . The staff that work at Select Physical Therapy are terrific as well. Jennifer, at the front desk, always greets patients with a smile & great attitude. LeAnn is a PT Aid that is kind, patient, knowledgeable & great at ensuring the patients are using proper form as well as keeping us on track with our exercises. She checks in frequently, and does a great job of applying therapeutic, moist heat, ice, E-stim, etc. I am & will be eternally grateful to have discovered this gem & wealth of guidance & experience. Thank you, Blair & the team at Select Physical Therapy on Genesee in La Jolla! read more

Select Physical Therapy - La Jolla - This pic is of me doing hip abductor with weight exercise. - Physical Therapy Near Me - San Diego, California

These guys are GREAT. My doc, Karen Anderson, recommended Yusef to rebuild me. We can make him better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster. (credit: Six Million Dollar Man) Yusef is the main man, he books up fast, over the course of 20+ sessions I met with Yusef, Tanya and Laura. I recommend all three, they know the break(no pun intended) down of the body, bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles. Everyone is personable and friendly, you share stories over the course of weeks or months. Always professional, mindset on the end goal - maximizing quality of life - successfully rehabilitation. One visit Yusef pushed so hard into my leg I thought I was going to bite a hole into the pillow, he sarcastically mentioned now his thumb was in pain, and sore. Funny Guy. Glad the pain is two fold ;p This was exactly what I needed that particular visit, my tendons started to fire again and walking was easier although I was still sore days later. Amazing. Don't forget, they also validate for underground parking. read more

Select Physical Therapy - La Jolla - Physical Therapy Near Me - San Diego, California

Awesome PT clinic in La Jolla. My PT is Tammy and she is super knowledgeable. I first came in because my arm and neck were flaring up one night and it kept me up. She explained that most people with an office job need to get up and walk around every so often, which is something I wasn't doing. She taught me some exercises that I could do at my desk to help with my neck and arm. I also started coming here for my left knee. I was going to a chiropractor but I didn't find it extremely helpful. Tammy gave me some exercises to work on so that it would strengthen my muscles to put less tension on my knees. I go every week and I definitely feel an improvement! read more

I came here with the worst lombar/sciatica pain after two cortisone shots and got so much better with the help of these professionals. They really care about your pain and concerns. Take their time to explain and go over every exercise with you. They are awesome read more

I've had a herniated disk for 14 years. In addition, I stay active running, biking, and strength training so I've been through a lot of physical therapy over the years. I had been fairly pain free until I was recently hit by a car while bicycling. This resulted in a new back injury. The treatment I received from Bijan Matthews has been terrific. In just a few weeks I've gone from excruciating pain to back to full activities. I still have some residual pain but it's 95% better. The facility is very good. The attention I receive during my sessions is excellent. read more

Nicole and the whole team at Select PT La Jolla- Kennedy, Shelby, Shaya, Liz, are exceptional! Nicole is a truly gifted, experienced, and caring PT. She has been helping me for over 6 months recover from SI joint dysfunction with nerve damage from a fall as well as Bursitis of the hip. I can not recommend her and this location enough! read more

I've been coming to Select Physical Therapy for about a month after I had a knee injury at work. Blair and Bijan have both been amazing to work with. Both have been the only ones that have been spot on in finding the exact location of pain in my knee. They have both been really great in explaining the anatomy of the knee to me and helping to get me back on track. They have been super patient and encouraging....not only with myself but with the other patients I've seen them interacting with. The rest of the staff is equally as helpful. Highly recommend them and have had nothing but a great experience with them. read more

Yousef is the man! for anyone who needs a top notch physical therapist, his office is the one to visit. Yousef is an EXPERT on how the human body gets injured and can be repaired. I would return to his office in a heart beat if I ever needed more physical therapy. As for parking, they do validate but I recommend parking on the street. It's always free. read more

Dr. Yousef is the best PT I have ever been to. I have IT band syndrome which caused lot of trouble for my running. After reading some good reviews in yelp, I went and met Dr. Yousef. He not only taught me the exercises which will help me with IT band syndrome but also taught me different stretches which I can do before running. Even though I am not completely back to where I was before, I am lot better and able to do couple of good runnings every week. Thanks to him! He is very kind and spends enough time with the patients. He never tries to sell any products from his office. But if you are looking for a foam roller, the best you can get for very cheap price is from him. He has this very long and very think foam roller for only 28 dollars. The ones I bought in store for the same price are very short and soft and never helped me. I strongly recommend him for any of your PT needs. read more

I went go to Physiotherapy Associates for a severe high-ankle sprain that I got playing indoor volleyball. How severe? I was on the cover of "Cankle Monthly" twice during recovery. I would have been "Cankle of the Year" if it wasn't for that guy two States over that puts gravy in his cereal. Now, those were cankles! My therapist was Michelle with help from Jackie. Both are very cool and were a big part of my recovery. They take their time to learn about your injury and talk you through what you can expect during your rehabilitation. I never felt uncomfortable asking questions and I knew they wouldn't do anything to put me at risk of further injury with my exercises. Michelle, on more than one occasion, adjusted her schedule to accommodate mine which was always appreciated. When your doctor opens up a conversation with "Your ankle is a mess" while he reads the MRI results, you know you've got something pretty special. With Michelle's help, I'm back to biking, running and jumping in my activities. The office is very friendly and filled with people who like what they do; which makes going there less stressful. I would loudly brag when I was given a new, and more advanced, exercise and they would reward me with undeserved appreciation. While I recognize sarcasm when I hear it, I choose to accept it as actual heartfelt praise. I hope I never need their services again, but I would recommend them, and Physiotherapy Associates, to anyone. read more

This clinic is one of the best I have been too. The entire staff is friendly and have a sense of pride in their work. Friendly front desk staff that is able to accommodate all needs. They help to fit in patients with tight work schedules, I have had visits at 5:30 AM to work with my schedule for the day. Yousef is one of the best PTs I have worked with during my knee problems. I just had my 11th knee surgery and can't thank Yousef for his ability to work with all the challenges I present. This clinic gives 30 min of one on one time with the therapist which is rare. High quality care. Great support staff, knowledgable aides. I would recommend this clinic to anyone without hesitation. read more

I am so thankful and appreciative for the entire staff of this place! Everyone from the girls at the front desk- to the assistants who help you through your workouts are AWESOME! I have to give some MAJOR and SERIOUS props to two therapists in particular- TANYA AND KEVIN! About 8 months ago, I herniated a disc in my back and really screwed it up bad. I thought for sure that surgery was going to be my only option. My surgeon sent me here to receive therapy, but told me that he's ready to operate whenever I feel that I am ready. When I walked into Physiotherapy & Associates for the first time, I could not even stand up straight- and it was very painful to walk. Thanks to Kevin and Tanya, I am walking, running, swimming, biking, weight-lifting, hiking, and working on increasing my activity each week... And I didn't have to have surgery! Tanya and Kevin are more than just amazing Therapists- they are great people. They become your friends. They really care about you, and get to know you as a person. They are interested in what you hope to be doing in your life- and focus week after week on meeting your personal goals. They give you the encouragement and guidance to keep you going. What could have easily became something that felt like a big chore, going to Physiotherapy & Associates, and working with Tanya and Kevin became something that I looked forward to. They were always fun to be around, and made sure that I always left feeling great. I will miss these guys! Kevin discharged me today- and I literally could not have jumped over this major hurdle in my life without the team here at Physio. He made sure that I left knowing how to care for myself, and manage my own progress- into the future. He showed me how to handle everyday life situations, and how to keep the therapy going at home. I will miss these guys and I am forever grateful, and encourage anyone considering therapy for any reason to look no further. These guys are the real deal. It's worth a commute from anywhere in San Diego. read more

I was seeing my physical therapist Yousef when injured for approximately 7 years and he has always done wonders to bring me back to health. Unfortunately I was injured in an accident about a year and a half ago and my attorney referred me to a physical therapist he knew and they help a little, but I still had a lot of pain so I decided to see Yousef because I know he will get to the roof of the problem and help me to my road to recover. I really recommend him. Vonda read more

I am not sure how to rate a "ZERO" for this place so they are getting a single star default. I went here twice, brand new facility and new equipment...i'll stop there, as nothing positive following new equipment. The therapist (Renee) was unqualified, the service was brief, 40 minutes yet I see my insurance company was billed for an hour. I was put in the hospital by the therapist, emergency room the next morning as the movements she had me do were WAY to aggressive. I received a deep tissue massage in the shoulder which led to severe spasms and discomfort in my chest area (place of original injury). I could write about this place for days. The billing department called me everyday on my cellular phone asking for $60 after they had received over 1500 after only two visits. AND to make matters worse, my emergency room visit Saturday morning at 4:30 am, approximately 12 hours after the last time I stepped foot into their facility. Overall review: unprofessional, overpriced and aggressively persistent about $60 dollar leftover co-pay after the PT put me in the hospital. My phone call to her after the injury resulted in a text message from her which stated "Joe, I apologize for your pain, however I cannot help you, I suggest you go to the hospital".... Had I more time and had an attorney been willing to take on this as a case to sue this company, I would have gone to court as my emergency room bill was well over $1500. DONT GO HERE!! read more

I'm glad that others had positive results from physiotherapy associates. I did not. My therapist was friendly and knew what she was doing but was so overbooked that she couldn't oversee my exercises so I would always be worse off after I left than before I walked in. It was a frustrating experience and I am still (six months after treatment) having the same neck pain and spasm that I did when I did therapy with them. I ultimately gave up on therapy because I wasn't getting any positive results. read more

I can't say enough about the difference that working with Yousef and the rest of the crew at Physiotherapy Associates has made in my day to day. I am no longer in pain!!! In fact, I never knew how much pain i was living with until is has finally been relieved. I went to Dr. Hackley at Torrey Pines Orthopedic with chronic hip pain. I was diagnosed with IT bad syndrome and tendinitis. This was the result of an old wakeboarding injury that never healed right. He prescribed phys therapy. I found Yousef through Yelp since i wanted to go to the best in town for my condition. One of the best decisions I have ever made for myself!! I'm 10 sessions in and the the strength that I have regained in my hip is amazing. My balance has improved tremendously at the same time. I can't believe the results. I can finally be active again without dealing with near as much pain during the activity or even the day after. I'm not all the way there yet so will post another in a month. For now .....thanks so much to Yousef, Jennifer, Amber, and the rest of the awesome crew at Physiotherapy Associates in UTC. Warning: Once are in, book in advance....just not in the morning before 8:30 & remember that pain is only weakness leaving the body ;) read more

Martin is the absolute best PT. He is extremely knowledgeable and has great manual manipulation technique (I think fancy terminology for massage ;-) ) and just great hands in general. He helped me completely recover from a knee problem and a pulled hamstring. Full half hour of hands on stuff in addition to exercise which is not a given at all PT clinics. He also genuinely cares about you and he really goes above and beyond what is expected. The atmosphere at the clinic is friendly and happy. The staff seem to love working here. Also I was really pleased with the amount and difficulty of the exercises. You get a stim and ice or heat session too which is great for napping. I think the only downside is that you will definitely spend a long time there - most of the time I was there for roughly 1.5 hours. It's worth the time commitment though because you WILL get better if you come here. In conclusion - can't recommend Martin enough. I've heard good things about Yousef too! read more

My orthopedic doctor wrote me a prescription specifically for Dr. Yousef at Physiotherapy Associates when I began having recurring knee pains while running. I have been going twice a week for the past month, and Dr. Yousef, along with the entire staff at Physiotherapy Associates, is excellent. I love that anytime I call their office, I immediately speak with a real person--not a machine. I explained my running background to Yousef, and he was able to diagnose my knee pains and explain to me what was causing the strain on my joints. He has a very methodical approach to physical therapy: make sure the patient understands what causes the pain, explain the methods and exercises to strengthen the affected muscles back to full strength, and ensure that the patient understands how to continue on without pain in future exercising/usage of the body. Yousef has given me lots of exercise and stretches to do on my own at home on a daily basis to continue improving my condition. Typically, my appointments take about 90 minutes: 30 minutes of consultation/manual therapy on the affected muscles, and about an hour of strengthening exercises on various machines or with specific equipment. The manual therapy does wonders for your muscles. My IT band was incredibly tight and strained, but Yousef did a great job stretching it out. [Also, the foam rollers they sell are fantastic, and not overly priced.] At the end of the appointment, most patients have their pain-affected area iced while electrical stimulation therapy is applied. [This is one of my favorite parts after a tough workout on my leg muscles.] Some things I would keep in mind: -The hour of self-regulated exercising can vary in length depending on how busy the place is at the time you go. I prefer to go early in the morning and have my choice of machines. -Dr. Yousef tends to book up really quickly. You can make appointments a few weeks in advance if you know your schedule, and this ensures you get in enough visits every week. -If you can, park on the street. They validate an hour of parking in the garage below, but like I said, appointments usually take ~90 minutes, and the garage charges $1 per every 20 minutes. This is another perk of going very early in the morning; you can park on the street and then use their outdoor entrance. After a month of going twice a week, my legs are doing better than they ever have, and I'm back to running high mileages multiple times a week without any knee pain. What more could a runner ask for? read more

The team at Select PT is amazing and super knowledgeable on how best to help you! Shelby is very professional, flexible and organized when it comes to scheduling and Blair is the best physical therapist I have worked with and is super cool. I love that the staff here take time to listen and care for you. read more

I went to the Del Mar clinic because they had a specialist for what I needed. My first visit I check -in and ask the girl behind the counter "how much does this cost?" She says "with the insurance it works out to $15 to 18 per visit". Then I get the bill for 4 sessions...$245.00. So I told them I'll pay what I was quoted. They say no way because I was given only an estimate and I must pay it all. That's a shady way to do business, quote low but charge high. read more

I am eternally grateful for Yousef at Physiotherapy Associates. When I was referred to him, it was a last resort for my left knee and leg I have had 8 surgeries including 3 knee replacements in the past 6 years and my leg was so painful and nearly useless. I had gone to Dr. McBride and asked him about amputating my left leg. I am now 35 treatments out and am able to walk, bend and go to the gym once again, with my leg. I have had lots of PT in my life, but nothing like this. The attention to details, each muscle and how it works in my leg has been isolated and worked on. I am not done yet, this is going to be a life long healing process. The amount of hope I have today is amazing compared to where I was when I limped in. The other part of this, is I have paid for each session by myself as I no longer am insured and this has been worth each and every penny. To have my leg back working is a complete miracle and Yousef is the man. I adore him. Bless you Yousef. The entire staff is warm and caring, it is a family environment and encouragement comes from all sides, the staff and the other patients. read more

Unfortunately for me, I have had my share of injuries, including chronic back problems that have required medical intervention including PT. FORTUNATELY for me, during my recent back injury, I found Yousef Ghandour. Yousef has a unique ability to asses, diagnose and treat your ailment. He has improved my back situation beyond where anyone else has been able to. Additionally, he gives you homework (exercises) to take with you so that you can things moving forward. I highly recommend Yousef. Also, the staff at Physiotherapy Associates is great. Everyone is very friendly and they keep you on track doing your exercises. read more

Just finished my last session here, had 12 over the last 8 weeks, I truly will miss both the place and people. Never a bad experience or time there. Even when complaining to myself while driving there, would soon find myself in a positive mood once arrived. Extremely knowledgeable and caring staff. Do not be out off by location, as parking is actually pretty easy. Just go down to the lower parking level, there is always spots. Thank you Brian, Blair, Shelby, Anna, and Kelsey. read more

Blair and Team do a great job and seem genuinely interested in the individual outcomes of their patients. I appreciate the follow up and good care. read more

Blair is awesome and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. I have been a patient at select Physical Therapy twice now. I first saw Blair in 2018 and she did such a good job that when I found out last year I was having surgery and going to need PT I requested my doctor refer me to her. Highly recommend Select and Blair for PT. read more

Being athletic and due to four shoulder surgeries and numerous other injuries I have been going to physical therapy for many years and have worked with over a dozen physical therapists (PT). The PT plays an important role in the rehabilitation of injuries and post operation recovery and may be the difference between a lifetime of pain or freedom. Do your research and select the right one. I had to go out of my health insurance net work and pay a much higher deductible, but believe me for a good PT its is worth it. If you like recommendation from a long term rehab expert, here is my recommendation: Dr. Yousef Ghandour of Physiotherapy Associates in La Jolla is the best therapist I had experienced and here is why: * He is very professional and extremely knowledgeable and up-to date with the newest methods and techniques, as he teaches and trains other PT's. * He has a terrific personality and puts you at ease immediately upon meeting him and he really cares about his patients and knows how to motivate them to work very hard to get better. He is great with all of his patients young and old. * During the first visit and assessment he determines the underlying issue causing the pain. He explains the problem and also what he is going to do to remedy your situation, how long it may take and sets goals and assess them periodically. * He really listens then creates a personalized therapies, modalities and exercises to do at home to complement the work done together in the clinic. He gives you his undivided attention during your session unlike most PT's I had. * Yousef has created an atmosphere that heals the body and the spirit. Even after a hard work out, you leave the center with a smile on your face. * Yousef makes you smile and laugh even when you're in pain or having a bad day. He gives me the determination to recover and to never give up! I always feel happy to be there from the moment I enter the building, the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. The entire staff is top notch. I always receive a warm welcome and from there things just get better. * Yousef is a truly nice and genuine person and has made his business something absolutely amazing and special. He is simply the best of the best. I usually don't write reviews like this, but I felt so appreciative that I wanted everyone to know about this special place and individual. Words can not express how grateful I am for all the help I've received. read more

Over the years I've been treated by many physical therapists and Yousef Ghandour has been by far the best. There's a level of understanding he has with ailments, injuries and recovery that you won't find anywhere else. I have severe enough spinal issues where my doctor suggested surgery was unavoidable to relieve the pain I was in. Before going in to surgery, he wanted me to work with Yousef to see if anything could be done. Within a couple of weeks, the majority of my neck pain was gone. Over the course of a few months, I was scheduled for therapy about twice a week and eventually felt no pain throughout my neck and back. When I visited the doctor again he was surprised but said he's always amazed at the results from Yousef. At this point, surgery isn't being talked about and I'm living relatively pain free. The entire staff at Physiotherapy Associates was cool, friendly and helpful. I never had a bad experience during any of the sessions. The patients working with other therapists in that office also had rave reviews going for their therapist. They are definitely in their own league when it comes to producing results. They won't hand you over-sized rubber bands and just send you off. They perform manual therapy, have you exercise on effective machines and their process actually worked better than I was hoping for. I'm thankful for what they've done for me and couldn't recommend them more. read more

Yusef it wonderful. Spent a lot of time during my initial appointment to truly understand my needs and then took a lot of time to make sure I understood what was wrong. Each additional appointment has been good and attentive. Even has early, 6 am, appointments which accommodates my schedule. read more

This place is great! I had never had any type of physical therapy before so I really didn't know what to expect when I showed up for shoulder pain. As soon as I walked in I felt very welcomed by the receptionist (Maria) who really knows her stuff when it comes to navigating the monstrous world of insurance approvals, co-payments, etc....My therapist was Chelsea who is top notch, really knows her stuff. She works not only on the problem area but on other parts that you think are unrelated but in fact really play a part. She's good at explaining things and getting you on a specialized exercise program and then making sure to reevaluate when things need to be changed up. She's very personable and really cares about your progress. It's a fun office and everyone there is super nice, especially the assistants Alex and Eric who really save the day when it comes to making sure you're doing the exercises correctly and then setting you up for ice and electrical therapy after. While I can't say I enjoy dealing with pain if I have to deal with it, this is the place I'd like to do it at! read more

The entire team at Physiotherapy Associates is AMAZING! I fought with persistent Achilles tendonitis for the past several months and with a subsequent back injury from overcompensation. I am an avid distance runner and swimmer. Not being able to exercise nearly drove me insane. My therapists Chelsea and Yousef gave me the tools, the guidance, and the encouragement I needed to recover. Chelsea and Yousef were always accommodating to my work schedule. They made sure I stayed on track with my recovery, even if that meant opening the clinic at 5:30am for an early morning visit. My therapists expertly guided me forward, helping me to push the envelope when the time was right. I was given homework and a personalized running schedule to ease myself back into my old routine. I should also note here, and I'm sure many athletes can relate, that there were a few occasions when I advanced my exercise routine sooner than advised. I was never reprimanded for doing so. Instead, was given the emotional support when I pushed too far to get back on task. Rex and Eric were enthusiastic assistants. They were always on point with my strengthening exercises. Their upbeat attitudes were contagious. The young ladies at the receptionist desk were equally exceptional. When you walk into the office and everyone knows you by name. You know that you are being well cared for from every angle. I am not only recovered from my injuries, I am stronger than I was at the start. I highly recommend this exceptional group. I am a healthcare professional myself and I can say, with confidence, that your health is good hands with Physiotherapy Associates. read more

I was recommended to Yousef and the Physiotherapy Assoaciates by a close friend after tearing my Labrum in my shoulder. I am a college pitcher and a good physical therapist is vital in returning to full strength. Yousef was perfect in this role. He is a genuine and caring person and puts all his effort into his patients and the rehab process. He would go out off his way to fit me in his schedule even if it meant showing up at 5:30 am if he had a full schedule. He is very knowledgeable and his 27 years of experience really show his true expertise. I highly recommend Yousef and the whole physiotherapy team as they are all friendly and welcoming and are all determined to get you back to full health on schedule. read more

Yousef was a wonderful therapist that I learned a lot from on how to heal my shoulder pain. His techniques were very effective in quickly resolving my issue. He seemed very knowledgable and kind. If I had any other issues with pain I would definitely go back to him for therapy. The secretary was very pleasant and accommodating with the scheduling. Eric and Rex were wonderful assistants with my care as well. If you need PT and live in central San Diego, check this place out. read more

I came here after I had torn my ACL and had patellar reconstructive surgery. Michelle was my physical therapist and I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. She was very knowledgable about what exercises to do in order to get back to my pre-surgery self. She came up with creative exercises that really tested my limits, but made them fun. The entire staff is amazing and genuinely care (something that is hard to come by these days). Michelle accommodated my schedule, which is something I am very thankful for. Ask for Michelle! She's the best! read more

Working with the exemplary Yousef Ghandour, Masters in Orthopedic Manual Therapy, PT, FAAOMPT, has given me hope where there was very little left. The results have been described as miraculous by my top-notch Spine Surgeon, Dr. Mundis of Scripps (one of the best by well-documented reputation) who was delighted, if not amazed, that my severe scoliosis condition was responding positively to the physical therapy designed and performed by Mr. Ghandour. Yousef (pronounced exactly as it is written, You--sef) Ghandour is also the La Jolla site clinic director. I've witnessed at each appointment his mastery in professionally influencing the staff around him. Whether it be an educating moment by example, or instruction on perfecting a given therapy method explaining the methology with patience and vast experience - he is the go-to expert on site, building and supporting the entire team of professional PT providers. Yet the advanced knowledge and expertise of ALL the PT's working in La Jolla is evident - yet as a team they have a strong advocate in Mr. Ghandour, and I see mutual collaboration throughout the site, and shared learning between them all to strive for progressive excellence in the vast array of treatments their clients seek. They also keep the atmosphere ultra positive and friendly - yet always with respect and professionalism. A great collaboration, and great group of good people. Its a pleasure to be with them all. I look forward to my PT days as a true high-light during the week. Yousef never ceases to amaze me, even the littlest comment about pain here of there - he seems to know just the thing to elevate or sooth. His knowledge and sincere dedication to his profession is sadly sometime rare in all fields - I am so blessed to have found my way to Physiotherapy Associates. Gratefully and Thankfully, Celia R. (any of the negatives I've Rarely read on one of these sites, seems to be from some time ago - or seems some misunderstanding. I see NO evidence of those things - if anyone ever DID have any concerns while at the site, all they would need to do is speak to Mr. Ghandour for professional remedy - he is there for all who come to the site - and I have no doubt would work out any concerns. Nice to know there is a REAL person, to take concerns to, for REAL results in this over-automated, over-phone Rep world! :-) read more
