She's also extremely patient, yet she does not allow me to take the easy way out when I'm tempted to skip workouts "because I was tired after work" or "it was too hot that day." What's more, she is careful not to push patients beyond their abilities. I leave each session feeling refreshed and excited to get better. All of the receptionists are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!

I've been in ongoing therapy at Salmon Bay Physical Therapy for years now, working through stubborn…read morelumbar and SI joint pain. What has meant the most is how consistently my therapist shows up for me -- even on the days when I feel discouraged. My therapist adjusts my plan, reassures me, and reminds me that healing isn't linear. The progress has been slow but so meaningful. I'm moving with less pain and more trust in my body. Her patience and dedication have carried me through some really tough weeks. This clinic deserves every star.

I came in completely frustrated about a back issue that was making daily tasks hard. I came out knowing an old ankle injury was the cause and with a plan on how to move forward. And, I have seen considerable progress within a week. The clinic felt more personal than many I've been to. I didn't feel like I was being slotted into a 30 min slot with the therapist needing to move on. The therapist took time to talk to me, understand my background and previous injuries, and make sure that they were confident in their assessment. I really couldn't recommend more.

Hard pass. The physical therapist over-worked my limb consistently to the point where one Sunday I…read morecouldn't straighten it out or exert it. It was weirdly tweaked. This was after I asked if I was being assigned too many reps because I suspected I was sore in not good ways. After that Sunday issue resolved, I started tracking how often I had issues after a PT visit. There's stretch and then there's strain. We had this convo and still my limb was overworked. Now at a different PT and it's enlightening. Also, the business side of this place is a wild ride. First, everything is in text. EVERYTHING. You can't call in and make an appt. You can leave a msg and they'll text you. And then you text them back. And then they may text you back... This was really inefficient on my end. I can't imagine it isn't on theirs as well. At your first appointment, they scan your driver's license because "it's required by law." No. No, it is not. And if insurance was worried about scammers/substitutes, they'd put a pic on our cards like Costco does, so I don't get why they wanted to scan my license. I refused and the office manager ok'd it. Also, the office manager was there when I asked to see their privacy policy. They couldn't produce it but said they would the "next" visit. They were never able to produce a privacy policy and that IS actual law (FEDERAL law to be exact) and not a new law. BTW, the intake form requires everyone to check a box that they've read the privacy policy. I told them I would check it with the understanding that they would show me a privacy policy at my next appt. May seem minor but it's indicative of how a medical office is run IMO. Re: the place. The physical place is great. Clean, comfortable, welcoming, with decent parking. Re: therapist. I may have just had a bad therapist for my issues. Glad I moved on. Re: the office issues. Hard pass.

I do work in health care, so I had a general idea of what happened, but wanted to get in PT ASAP to get the rehab started. The team, with Jim and Lisa was great at showing me what was going on and then spent plenty of time going through each exercise I would need to do. The online portal is also great to review the program and log that I am keeping up with what I need to do! The text message reminders were annoying but they did keep me accountable to do my rehab and you can opt-out if you prefer! Fortunately, my back is much better, and I am glad to have them nearby as I am sure with working out and staying active, I might need them again sometime!

Went here for months and months without missing an appointment. Work as a firefighter, worked a 72 hour shift and missed one appointment and they charge you $100 out of pocket, doesn't matter how long you've been a good patient. Also, it was $25, but they sent out a very easy to miss policy revision through EMAIL changing it to $100 with no agreement from patients. And when you call the front desk concerned with the 400% increase, she lets out an audible, "oh my god" and treats you like garbage. Also, she didn't let my PT know that I called in to apologize to my PT as soon as I'd realized I'd missed the appointment. Rude. My Physical Therapist was super awesome though and if you go here I would recommend Leah Kern, however, I don't agree with management's business practices. Been getting PT just down the street at one of their competitors and am treated much better and they have better, AND less expensive cancellation policies (and parking too).

I won't go into details like I usually do, HIPAA and all (well, because it's not your business),…read morebut I will say I LOVE LOVE LOVE my PT. I would give you her name, but I'm not sure how specialized she is, and HIPAA and all... But I've tried out a few PTs in my day and the one I have here is just awesome--totally chill and yet well-versed in her field, totally personable yet professional enough so that you don't feel strange letting someone lay their hands on you. The only thing I don't like about this place is that, every time you check in, they must check your info--number, address, insurance, etc. I don't like this because HIPAA and all and it's just weird. Maybe it's a UW thing, as it's happened before at another location, but most other places in my life simply say, "Has anything changed?" or even have it on the sign-in form. Maybe that doesn't work for those who simply have forgotten, but I think there's a better way, such as having them check in electronically, assuming they can read. I also think it's weird because, for the elderly, they ask things like, "Are you employed?" or "What about your spouse?" I don't know about you, but if I had just lost my job, that might be a sensitive question; isn't the more relevant question what insurance they have? It's even worse asking about a spouse; what if they are dead? Sensitive and irrelevant. But my PT is awesome enough for me to deal with this, and apparently many others since their wait list for new patients can be pretty daunting. That said, I plan to write to the administration at the hospital to let them know they may wish to consider making changes. Bottom line: If you are effed up at any point, check 'em out! Fingers-crossed you never need them.

She would have me push myself to get better, but not enough so that I would injure myself! She welcomed any, and all questions on performing the exercises; even explaining the purpose of each exercise in reaching therapy goals!
