My experience at Empower has been nothing but amazing. Having had C4 spinal fusion after cancer had eaten away at my spine, I figured I was lucky to have the limited range of motion that I had. I went in due to migraines triggered by muscle tension in my neck. I have done PT before this and the continued evaluation of my range of motion was a welcome change. Most physical therapists are just trying to get you back to a basic level. At Empower, all the PTs are there to help you with whatever goals you set for yourself. My goal was to get back in the gym and to stop having those tension migraines. After a few weeks, I could already feel that my personal goals were attainable. I haven’t had any migraines since I started and ended therapy. I feel stronger and I now have the skills needed to keep myself active and pain free. And I have Empower Therapy as a place I know I can count on if I ever have an other physical set back. Dr. (Justin) Carrido, and all the staff are warm and welcoming each visit. “Graduating” during my last session was bittersweet because I know that each person there cared about me and my journey. Thank you Dr. Justin

I started PT with Empower in October due to an elbow/shoulder injury. Dr. Justin has been awesome, encouraging me to do more with each visit . . . and it’s paying off! As previously stated, all employees are knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!

Coming from a 3rd year DPT student, the staff is amazing and super nice and caring. It's a very clean clinic, a little small, but very cozy. The PTs seem like they really take the time to get to know their patients as well as explaining what's going on as best as they can. They also make the insurance process, payment, and looking for the clinic very easy!

Lisa and Empower Team,I want to thank you for a great experience! Most importantly for having the passion for what you all do. Everyone on your team exudes it. As a firefighters who has been on the job for 26 years, it gave me joy to see the customer service that was provided at Empower. Customer service is very important in my career as it in is yours, because we see and help people at their most fragile time. It was evident the first day I showed up that everyone on your team was attentive and caring to the need of your patients.I came to Empower with a popping in my lower back and pain at the onset of my day. Your attentive and awesome team started me on a plan that would soon have the popping and ultimately the early morning pain subside. Everyone on your team worked with me and helped me on my road to recovery. They led and I followed! It was lots of hard work and consistency that helped me recover.I wasn’t the only one on this path. Every session that I came in for, there were other patients on the same journey, getting the same professional treatment.I have had 2 injuries in my 26 year career, torn plantar fasciitis and my lower back injury. I regret not ever doing physical therapy for my torn plantar fasciitis. After coming in for my lower back injury I was educated by your staff on the importance of recovery through physical therapy.I want to sincerely thank you all for the compassion, professionalism and pride that you bring to Empower every day. As a patient I felt it, saw it and lived it. They say if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life. I felt that from your staff every time I showed up! They really enjoy their environment!Thank you for the retirement surprise! That made my day and added to my week!Respectfully,George Rojas

I highly recommend Empower Physical Therapy & Wellness. I’ve had a great experience receiving my physical therapy treatment there. Everyone is very positive, knowledgeable and caring. I’ve had physical therapy services at other facilities and they just don’t compare to Empower Physical Therapy & Wellness. Give them a try, you will not regret it.

I couldn't be more happy with the care that I received . I like the team approach, and they helped me get back to 100% with my rehab for my knee replacement! From the front office to the assistants and the doctors, all are wonderful. I referred two other friends of mine and they say the same.Thank you Empower for making my recovery successful.

This review is wayyyyy overdue but I just want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Carlo and his team (particularly to Michelle if she is still there!). I had a left shoulder injury that I did not heal properly from. After going to physical therapy for a month in the summer, I still struggled to use my left arm. I looked up Dr. Carlo and was impressed by the reviews. I went and checked him out. Turns out that not only was my left shoulder still out of alignment, but I was actually engaging the wrong muscles to lift and use my left arm. After 3 months of exercises and consistent practice at home, my left arm feels wayyy better and is almost back to full function. I still do the exercises here and there, like when I’m stressed or if I sleep on my left side weird, but overall, I am very very very happy and beyond satisfied w their services. Thank you so much!!!

Dr. Justin is awesome. All of the staff are super nice and friendly too. I have some more treatment to go, and though I want to feel better, I will actually miss my bi-weekly visits because the staff makes you feel so welcomed.

This place is awesome and everyone is very caring and nice. We were referred by my daughter’s orthopedic doctor for her hip and buttock muscle pain. My daughter is a gymnast and always have muscle or joints pain. Dr. Carlo and the PT/Michelle are always very attentive and caring. They follow up with me and let me know my daughter’s progress. All the staffs there were super nice and we never have to wait for too long to see the Dr or for the session. Highly recommended!!!

My experience at Empower Physical Therapy has been phenomenal. Great care, attention and quality Therapy have been given to me each visit.

The physical therapy routine I underwent was not my first rodeo, but what a difference. The last physical therapist provided no guidance, and did not listen to my concerns. She didn't even bother to learn my name. At Empower, everyone has time to listen to concerns and my therapy was actually modified to address those concerns. I highly recommend Empower

Love taking care of myself at Empower. I have neck, shoulder and back pain that can make doing the simplest things difficult. They know I refuse to stop doing life because of it. With their help I can continue cycling, hiking, traveling and ….sleeping. The entire team is awesome! Special shout outs to Roz and Michelle!

The Empower team and office space is very welcoming! All the doctors are very knowledgeable and have a passion in helping their patients feel better to live their lives normally and be able to maintain that lifestyle after physical therapy. My daughter is now a patient of Dr. Roz and Dr. Michelle to help strengthen herself for basketball season and prevent injuries.

This review is way overdue, but I have been hoinf to Empower for the last 18 months in between my two spinal surgeries and have visited the place probably 50 times in this span. Having dealt with many medical facilities, this place is a top notch, as good as it gets when it comes to health care. They put the care in health care for sure, and they would treat you and talk to you like you are a family member. I think Dr. Carlo’s philosophy is very admirable and translates well into all aspects of its operation. They may not fix you as you could understand the limitations of physical therapy, but they will try help you feel better, that is for sure. This is my belated thanks to the team that has been taking such a good care of me and my daughter (who received therapy for her dog bite incident). Thanks, Empower Team!

I was visiting California for the holidays, but unfortunately broke my ankle right before coming out. I needed to start PT and decided to come to Empower because my sister had a good experience here. I’ve worked with Dr. Carlo, Dr. Roz, and Dr. Angela. They are all awesome and great to work with. Their assistants are very nice, as well as Allison! They address any concern you may have and are sure to answer any questions. They are kind, encouraging, respectful, and genuinely care about you as a person and not just a patient. In just the 3 weeks I have been working with them, my ankle has improved so much and feels so much stronger already. Because I’m heading back to the east coast, I won’t be finishing my PT with them which makes me really sad! I wish I could bring them all back with me. Would definitely recommend this team if you are looking for PT!

Second time that I have come to Empower for physical therapy. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. All of the physical therapists and technicians are knowledgeable and give you the utmost attention to help restore your health. If you are in need of PT, you can’t go wrong with Empower PT . I highly recommend them.

My experience at Empower Physical Therapy has been stellar. I was having extreme pain down the back side of my right leg due to a herniated disk in my lower back. I came in for an initial assessment with Dr. Carlo and I wound up leaving that day with a fully comprehensive plan for my recovery! This was confirmation that I was in definitely at the right place. I am now about 6 weeks into working with Dr. Carlo and the team and I am feeling great. Much stronger, more flexible, and more confident about getting back to my regular workout routine. I have had the opportunity to work with just about everyone at Empower and they are all amazing, professional, and friendly. Thank you, team – you are the best!

Empower Physical Therapy runs like a well-oiled machine. Dr Carlo and his associates coordinate the care of several patients at a time without letting anyone’s treatment fall through the cracks. I first went to Dr Carlo after a fall that injured my knee. That’s coming along so well, and I like Empower so much that I’m staying to work on my back that’s been a long-time injury. Dr Carlo’s exercises are easy to understand and to do at home, very practical to work in within your usual day, and yet extremely effective getting right to the spot of injury. Dr Carlo is always working on ways to improve his practice and his methods. I’m a big fan of Empower PT. If you’re tired of hurting, check them out!

I highly recommend Empower Physical Therapy. I've been here for three different issues in the past few years and have not been disappointed. I've been referred to others closer to home but was very disappointed with the treatments. Dr. Carlo and his staff are very knowledgeable, caring and patient. The place is very clean and the staff are constantly disinfecting.

Be careful to get price estimates before going. I was billed at least double what other PhysicalTherapy groups charge with none of the services others provide like heat/cold treatments, massages after exercises and had to buy my own bands to use (other companies provide them).As To your response- costs were never discussed. You just asked for my insurance cards info before the appointment. I don't think I'm the only exception to full cost disclosures. I still believe your costs are much higher than other excellent providers. I have used.

All employees are compassionate, courteous, respectful, and patient-focused. The staff was extremely mindful of safety and cleanliness. I mainly worked with Michelle Chin. Michelle pushed me through the hard times to get my mobility and strength back while providing great encouragement. Your knowledge, professionalism, concern and friendliness were much appreciated. There were doubts/questions before PT but now I am a believer. Allison was always on top of scheduling, follow up, and promptness. It was pleasant experience and highly recommended.
