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!!!

I needed pelvic floor therapy and Lisa did an amazing job. She was very informative. She helped guide me through exercises with increasing level of difficulty. Everyone there was friendly and knowledgeable.

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. I would like to especially highlight Dr. Ros and Michelle along with their team for making sure my needs are addressed during each session. I would strongly recommend Empower Physical Therapy to anyone in need of this type of service ~ Dr. Mary Harris

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.

I have nothing but good things to say about Empower PT. DR Roz and Michelle are both so good at what they do. Everyone there is knowledgeable and friendly and I've seen a great improvement with my ankle.

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.

I went from limping from a PCL tear to having the confidence to do my 70.3 ironman in less than 1 month! The entire staff was great! Very supportive and helped me get my strength and flexibility back. Highly recommend!

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.

Dr. Roz at Empower Physical therapy is amazing, super friendly, kind, caring, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. I’ve been to >6 different places for physical therapy over at least 5 years now for different problems and this has been the best place I’ve gone to. It’s not one PT to 4 different patients going back and forth between them and they spend nearly the entire time with you. All the staff there is great. If you need physical therapy Dr. Roz is definitely the best!

Duffy Blau

My name is Duffy Blau. My Doctor sent me to Empower Physical Therapy because I was experiencing extreme pain on my right shoulder. I was unable to play golf which is my favorite sport. I actually thought it was going to be a long while before I picked up a club again. However, to my surprise, my shoulder pain decreased significantly after the second session. By the third session, I was back on the golf course playing with hardly any pain. Now I am playing golf twice a week with no pain at all. To prevent another injury, I am going to them twice a month just for maintenance. I fully endorse this place. If you need anything related to physical therapy, then Empower Physical Therapy is the place to go. These people are professional, friendly and effective. My therapist is Dr. Roz and she has saved my golf career.She is great and I owe her many thanks!!

This place is great. Carlo the Owner and Dr. is very attentive and generous with his time. He really tries to get to the root of the problem when you go to him. He explains everything so you understand what he’s trying accomplish. Then he gives you the exercises necessary to help u correct what’s going on with your body.

Dr Carlo and team are a Godsend. After years of chronic back pain from a sports injury and thousands of dollars spent on several other so called experts, I finally found a place that not only “gets it”, has been effective in treating the pain from the source.Not to mention the great energy and spirit of everyone who works there. Absolutely recommend!

Dr.Carlo and his team have been working with me to get my strength back after a car accident left me disabled and in terrible back pain. I experienced numbness and nerve pain throughout my back and legs unrelieved with pain medications. My family is amazed with the progress I have made because of Dr. Carlo! I recommend them to everyone. They’re professional, they care about my progress, and they have been able to help me when more traditional treatments failed.

What can I say about Dr. Carlo?!!! He is truly amazing at what he does! I was experiencing lower back pain, more of a dull constant achy feeling for more than 18 months. Finally decided to seek physical therapy for my issue. Through my initial consultation with Dr. Carlo and talking about some of my previous injuries and observed biomechanics, he was able to determine the root cause of my low back pain and within TWO visits, my pain is 80% GONE!!! I can’t begin to describe the enormous sense of relief and joy I feel now, being able to get back to “normal” activities without that constant nagging ache!Thank you Dr. Carlo! I’m eager to continue my treatment for my low back pain and wouldn’t hesitate to seek him for his wisdom and knowledge to getting me back to feeling normal!!!

My time at Empower Physical Therapy was truly a blessing. From the front desk, physical assistants, and physical therapists are amazing. I came into Empower with a torn ACL, meniscus, and a dislocated patella, which resulted in a long recovery process. I was fairly impressed with how attention to detail all the physical therapists are in the recovery process. Every time I came in, it was always a one on one experience working in different areas to improve and ultimately get stronger. After I finally got cleared from the Empower team, this is the most mentally confident I've ever felt from a serious injury. The overall atmosphere at the facility is tremendous, always super friendly and inviting. Throughout my 12-month recovery process, I would highly recommend Empower Physical Therapy if you are recovering from any injury.

It has been a month since my final session at Empower and my workouts are back and better than expected. There has only been one reminder that I ever had an injury and it lasted for a nanosecond. I now have the strength and the confidence of full mobility in my shoulder. My ortho specialist was also pleased two weeks ago during my follow up appointment. I highly recommend Empower. At 54 I am now a believer in good physical therapy. Thanks Empower for empowering me. - Maurice

TLDR: This place is amazing with knowledgeable and attentive staff. 100% recommend.I went to Empower Physical Therapy in search of a longer term PT due to being a highly active individual. I worked with Michelle DPT and from day 1, she was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and highly attentive. I've been to other PT offices before where they give you an exercise and come find you 10 minutes later. Michelle will keep an eye on you and make sure your form is perfect before watching from a distance. The PTAs were also amazing and very helpful as well. Scheduling was made very simple with the highly responsive coordinator, Sarah. Theyre very understanding when it comes to changing or canceling appointments. I 100% recommend this place and will definitely return when future injuries occur.

I had right knee total replacement in November of 2019 I began preoperative care at Empower about a month out from surgery and I did all of my post operative PT with them as well. I highly recommend them...they all do an amazing job. My primary therapists were Michelle and Rosslyn and they are both amazing very encouraging and supportive while at the same time pushing me hard so I could recover strong and quick. Sarah does an outstanding job of running the front office and all the logistics involved she was very helpful when I ran into small insurance issues. With all their help I was able to return to full duty as a firefighter with in 6 months of surgery...I recommend them 100% !!
