Sports Medicine near Richmond

“I’ve worked with Dr Jess on several injuries related to long distance running: knees, feet, and ankles. She has always been able to help me get back to the sports I love quickly.In 2019 I had to take 10 months off of running due to injuries. Nothing I could find online was working for me and it didn’t get better with rest. I saw Dr Jess in early 2020 and she helped me identify and treat my IT band syndrome. I finished the year with over 1k miles and by 2022 achieved a long standing goal of mine to run a trail 50k in under 5 hours.What I like most about her approach is that she really teaches you how to improve form, strength, and flexibility on your own with exercises that I found easy to follow after the sessions.I will definitely see Dr Jess again if I have problems in the future.“

“I’ve been coming to Dr. Ben for a couple of months now, and he’s the best chiropractor I’ve seen. He takes the time to really get to know you and understand what brings you into the office. He really cares about his patients.I’ve noticed a big difference since starting treatment. Highly recommend!“

“All are friendly and knowledgeable. They do everything in their power to accommodate your schedule. The practitioners are always emphatic and understanding...wanting only the very best outcome to get you back to your best physical self. I would highly recommend Active Health Center!“

“Still the best chiropractic clinic. Dr. Ruch has helped me through two motorcycle accidents--one left me bedridden and unable to walk, until Dr. Ruch adjusted my hips. Seriously-- I couldn't stand up one minute... and the next minute I could. Life changing. Their laser therapy kept my legs working. All the doctors at this clinic are amazing and the staff is equally caring and helpful. They totally work with you to accommodate your needs. I recommend this clinic to every injured person I meet.“

“Dr. Jake is terrific. He has helped me recover from knee surgery and is a key part of my general wellness plan.

“I came in with a lower back pain flare up, my muscles were feeling really weak and tense, and I left feeling confident that Sandy had done something very right for the pain I was dealing with. The next day my back felt strong and pain free again! Sandy is really attentive and gentle and very intuitive. I highly recommend his work.“

“Have had two appointments now and will be making more in the future. I’ve been dealing with neck and shoulder pain for a few years now and decided to check out acupuncture and cupping. After two appointments I already notice a huge difference in my physical and mental health. Highly recommend if you are considering acupuncture and cupping.“

“After a recent sprained ankle, I needed PT to not only heal but to get my ankle in the best possible shape for an upcoming walking safari through rocky mountainous terrain. I don’t doubt I’ll have any issues thanks to Erica and her team of physical therapists’ help in accelerating my healing process. Erica takes the time to listen to my goals, and recommends the best treatments for each visit as well as home exercises with custom therapy handouts. Apex Physical Therapy is located across from Ghirardelli Square in a beautiful well-lit space with views of Aquatic Park and the Bay which is a bonus perk in the process of healing.“

“Always amazing experience! Dr Aaron has helped me immensely over the years with various issues; when others couldn’t help me Dr Aaron has the answers. The staff is great and very helpful. And the complimentary birthday massage is incredible. Eligio is a gifted healer too.“

“Dr. Prins is an amazing practitioner. I went to him after recovering from cervical disc replacement surgery. Also, I have double severed inoperable rotator cuffs. He has helped me get back to full function physically. I’ve seen half a dozen chiropractors. Charlie Prins is definitely the best. I highly recommend this practice.“

“This review is overdue. I was referred by my friend (who generously got me a gift card) and have been consistently seeing Adolfo for the past few months now. Must say, he is really good. Prior to coming here, I was working with several therapists to rehab my arm. We couldn't figure out what the root cause is and where the pain is emanating from which was frustrating since I was quite limited in my daily activities for nearly 8 months. During my first visit, Adolfo gave me a comprehensive consult and began work on my body. Felt the positive results after my first session and the pain hasn't come back. He's also worked wonders on my sciatica, hand and foot. Not only am I in good hands with him but also with Corinne as well. She's always so nice and sweet - lovely lady who holds down the office.“

“Amy and Iris are the two PT's that I've seen at Back to Life Physical Therapy; they both are very knowledgable, and thorough in their explanations and guidance. In addition to their abundant knowledge in the specific area of pelvic floor, the extra care and time they put in to really listen, understand and then instruct me have been what distinguishes them in the field of physical therapists. I have improved since starting to work with them (a year ago). The office is kept clean and neat, and is full of natural wood, natural light, and includes a library of pertinent material. Colleena, the receptionist/office manager, is a wonderful and personable and efficient part of the team. I highly recommend this practice.“

“Excellent experience all the way around. The front desk clerk understood my insurance plan and explainedbto me how it workes. That was very important to me so I had no unexpected cost. The doctor I can't say enough about him. Just absolutely amazing. Really knows his craft and comes up with wonderful after care plans. I definitely would recommend this chiropractic office.“

“I highly recommend Chris. He's a top notch pain specialist, very attentive to pain and skilled to help release it, also a pleasure to work with.“

“I’ve been seeing Giancarlo Centeno for a wrist/hand injury and couldn’t be happier. He did a very thorough first evaluation and really listens and cares — I’ve made great progress in just a couple of months.

The whole team is awesome: Zoe is super helpful and always checks in during sessions, and Carlie makes scheduling and insurance a breeze — efficient, warm, and a clear communicator.
The office is clean, well-equipped, and has a really welcoming atmosphere. It does get busy, so my first appointment took a bit to book, but after that everything’s been smooth.

Friendly team, great vibe, and effective care — highly recommend!“

“Dr. Valette is the BEST. I was his patient for several years at One Medical, and I was excited to follow him to his new practice. He is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, and at the new practice he has more time to talk through all of my health concerns. Appointments never feel rushed, and yet they still run on time. The best part about Dr. Valette is that he really listens to my health goals, and then makes sure everything serves those goals -- medication, lifestyle, supplements, etc. It's so much better and more comprehensive than working with a standard primary care doctor. I can't say enough good things!“

“I was impressed by the care and analysis taken by La Foot staff before they tried to sell me anything. After careful listening to my athletic needs, habits, and deficiencies they recommended a shoe that turned out to be ideal for my needs. The initial experience was so positive that I returned for gym specific shoes and ortho inserts for my Haflinger cork slippers. 6-months + into wearing the first shoes I remain totally satisfied. If you visit La Foot Plus be sure to go well before closing time. At the end of the day they respect their staff's non-work time by closing promptly at closing time, if not a little before.“

“The acupuncture was fine, but I recommend getting pricing in writing. When I called to book, Sara told me visits were $100, including the initial session. However, after my first visit, she charged $150, saying initial visits are $150 and follow-ups are $100. It's possible her prices changed, but I wasn't informed. She also billed my insurance at my request, which covered $60, so the total was $210. Her booking website doesn't show pricing, so it's unclear what future visits might cost. If you see her, double-check pricing beforehand and get it in writing.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Silver Sports Therapy. Sidney is the best I am so glad I found a place that will truly take care of me through this recovery process!“

“I have been seeing Dr. Rabbetez for almost 20 years now. I don't know what I'd do without him. He has been instrumental in my chronic pain management. He is not just a highly skilled and intuitive provider, he is also a very kind and empathetic person. I wish I could give him 10 stars.“

“From the moment you enter you are treated with respect and kindness. Everyone answered my questions and it was only a short while until I saw my doctor. On the way out I also took the time to enjoy the wonderful decorations they had on the walls“

“well all of the people and doctors and surgeons are all so very nice and everything I have had done is perfect Doctor Hau is very nice and a great surgeon ? Thank you Doctor Hau“

“I had physical therapy sessions last year. Everyone here is so pleasant and so, very supportive ! Especially, Mai is amazing!!!!“

“Dr. Bell was great. She listened carefully while I described all the details of my injury and made sure I left with a solid understanding of what was going on.“

“Dr. Thomas Pearman has been giving me the finest care for years, he has always been diligent to make sure my knee and hip replacements were working well, I did have to have to have a redo on a hip but that was because the hip fell apart, nothing to do with the surgery it self. Dr. Peatman performs more than 2/3 of all hip replacements at Sutter hospital and he is the best surgeon around. And the office staff is also warm welcoming and professional. Occasionally I've waited for a couple hours to see the doctor when an emergency has come up, but it comforts me to know that if I myself had an emergency he would see me right away and others would have to wait. That's just how things work with professional working surgeons. Thank you for everything Dr Peatman and staff.“
