    I've been doing post operation rehab for my right shoulder SLAP tear. I can say that if others cannot fix it, Apex can. All patients get fully tailored, dynamic programs, and are always supervised by PTs. Dave Matoso is so much knowledgeable and all top Orthopedic Surgeons refer him as the best PT in the Bay Area (which is very true! I'm telling this because I tried a couple of other places before Apex). Everyone from front desk, physical therapy aides, to PTs are very friendly and welcoming. Thanks Apex for your 10/10 service!

    We were turned away from a lot of other therapy offices because they did not want to work with a child. My poor baby needed help. We came across Apex and I'm so glad we did. They could us immediately and after 1 visit with Jen I felt confident in what my daughters recovery plan was. After 5 visits, she's doing so much better. Because it is her knee, I was worried. Jen alleviated that fear and I'm seeing my baby get stronger after each visit! Go there! Especially if you have children; they will help!

    Can't speak more highly of Apex PT. They were beyond accommodating from Day 1 and I felt extremely well taken care of. Most importantly, my knee feels better than ever. Their facility is top notch, and they had the best equipment, plus an Alter-G treadmill that got me back running safely. Thanks SO much, Apex!

    Tina was my physical therapist for almost 4 1/2 months starting in Jan 2012. I was referred to Apex and Tina by my orthopedic surgeon. Best thing I ever did. I won't tell you it was easy; you must do the work to enjoy a successful recovery from TKR but this team was the best. Highly recommend Apex and Tina.

    They are the best!!!!! They are caring, considerate and compassionate. They know what they are doing and they listen to you. I highly recommend them to whoever needs physical therapy. The girls who handle the books are so nice, always greeting you with a smile, as does everyone. My physical therapist was Mike Gaddani and he was great! So was Kyle and it is a very friendly place
