“Dr. Lin and Dr. Park
Over the summer of 2025, I was assaulted. Among the injuries I sustained, the most significant were skull base fractures and fractures of my orbit, which led the emergency doctors to diagnose me with traumatic optic neuropathy. After consultations with maxillofacial specialists and ophthalmologists, I was told I was legally blind, 20/230, and that this was now my life.
Devastated, I reached out to Dr. Lin who was highly referred by a longtime family friend. She felt he and his team should see me and offer other opinions. While Western medicine may refer to Dr. Lin as a “physical therapist,” I don’t think that language fully defines what he does. At our first meeting, he was gentle, attentive, and deeply aware of my condition. His method is difficult for me to fully articulate, but it was unlike anything the physicians I had seen before had provided.
Dr. Lin created a treatment plan in collaboration with his in-house acupuncturist, Dr. Park, and the two of them treated me in concert. I visited them about once a month. Dr. Park performed acupuncture targeting specific hemispheres they agreed would be beneficial, while Dr. Lin used manual techniques, pressing, pulling, and adjusting different parts of my face and body.
One moment stands out clearly in my memory. As Dr. Park had acupuncture needles placed in the points she selected, Dr. Lin pressed a section of my face under my eye with significant pressure. The instant he released, my nasal passage cleared dramatically. I had been so focused on my vision that I ignored other parts of my body that also needed attention.
This is what impressed me most: their understanding of the interconnectedness of the human body, and the way each system affects the next. Even though I came in focused on a single issue, they recognized that other problems could be developing or stagnating and that treating one area would likely set off a domino effect. They addressed everything collectively rather than isolating one symptom.
Dr. Park also gave me homework: changes to my diet, foods to avoid, preferred cooking methods, and even the temperature of liquids I should consume. Detailed instructions that had never been offered nor had I considered.
Western medicine had only offered me chemical treatments or surgeries to remove or implant. Dr. Lin was one of the few who was relieved I had not had a surgery and was not taking medication. In my most desperate moment, when the reality of vision loss was fresh and overwhelming, they helped keep hope alive.
I am happy to say that I have since improved to 20/40 vision. Slowly, every day I feel a little better. I am not claiming that Dr. Park and Dr. Lin performed miracles. What I do believe is that the treatment they provided stimulated something meaningful in my recovery. Maybe I would have healed to this extent without them, maybe not. But I wholeheartedly feel that their treatment encouraged my body to heal itself.
I am four months removed from the incident, I have my vision back and I feel great. Recovery is not complete, but I am in a place now that my Ophthalmologist told me never to expect.
Thank you to both Dr. Lin and Dr. Park. I could not be more grateful.“

“Friendly staff, attentive, and very clean facility. Went in for a hurt cuff rotator and they've worked wonders on it-can't imagine going anywhere else!“

“I went to Impact Physical Therapy because my husband went to them after his hip replacement surgery. I worked with Ryan Stuhr, one to one. I needed shoulder surgery and wanted to strengthen my shoulder before the surgery, hoping for a better recovery. Ryan helped me so much I am no longer planning to have the surgery. I am pain free. I couldn't even lift a coffee cup when I started working with him. I have also gone to Ryan for back and knee issues and he has helped me tremendously. At Impact you always work one on one with a therapist and I think it makes a huge difference. Ryan has quite literally changed my life and I will go back to him whenever I need to work on something that hurts or needs improvement.“

“This place is amazing! Super nice therapists, and a great gym. I had a great recovery from my injury. On my last day they said hopefully I won't need to come back but I would love to come back. VERY well deserved 5 Stars!“

“Excellent therapy! Very experienced and motivational staff. I've progressed steadily under their care.“

“Randy Bauer is a top notch Physical Therapist! He was recommended to me by a famous sports orthopedic surgeon from Cedars Sinai. I tried a few PT places before I found Randy and I must say, I barely hide my happy tears after the workout sessions under his guidance, as I see the progress day by day. Highly recommend to anyone who is in to do the work to get well. 3 times a week is best and do what he says at home.“

“I went to this physical therapy for my left hand ( Ocupational Therapy). I had an excellent experience with my therapists “ Ms. Leah Woodside” and “ Ms. Rebeca( Becky) Wohlfarth . They are highly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Each session was well- planned and clearly explained, and I always felt supported and motivated.
I truly appreciate their hardworking and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of Ocupational Therapy !
Thanks dear Leah and dear Becky ?“
