I have just finished 6 months of PT with Dean Yoshimoto and couldn't be more satisfied. Dean first helped me several years ago and I was very happy with his services. It wasn't just the overall result of physical improvement but also the personal comfort and care that I received that made a difference. I have worked with other PT's in the past but none compared to Dean. When I fractured my ankle last summer and needed outpatient PT, I immediately only thought of Dean for treatment. Of course, he's really skilled and experienced as a therapist, identifying and explaining problem areas and expertly working on strengthening, flexibility and range of motion. Besides hands on massaging, we also did some machine and floor work. He also patiently and repeatedly showed me exercises to do on my own and helped evaluate the effectiveness of different shoes that I brought in. He also suggested and demonstrated hand-held massagers. The testimonials already speak to Dean's attributes as a highly trained experienced therapist and his thoughtful engaging style. I won't repeat but will instead pass on one anecdote about his unique compassion for his patients and his work. When my current round of treatment started, my first appointment was mostly evaluation and discussion. I was looking forward to the second appointment to get therapy really started. But the only time available was a Friday at 5:00. But I got a call that Friday afternoon that Dean's 4:00 cancelled so could I come in at 4:00 instead. Sure, I could avoid some traffic and start my weekend! When I arrived, I say to Dean something like "you must be glad that you're 4:00 cancelled. Now you don't have to stay for my 5:00 and wait until 6 to leave on a Friday night. You can go home earlier!" No, he shakes his head, "the 4:00 patient really could use therapy on her injury. I wish she didn't have to miss the appointment." Wow, I was surprised and impressed by his dedication and genuine interest in the progress and well-being of his patient! He has his priorities in order for our benefit, even on a Friday night. Dean loves what he does and is great at what he does. We are lucky to have him in our community. Thank you Dean and the Yoshimoto PT staff!
Dean Yoshimoto is an awesome guy! He gave me a lot of good advice and more. I had injured my piriformis muscle playing pickle ball back in November 2023. I was referred to Dean by my Doctor in January 2024 cause it was taking too long to heal. I'm glad I I did go in and had my injury evaluated, come to found out I was too stiff and not flexible. So Dean had me do no worries exercises and stretches. He even massage my back muscles, and elbow that piriiformis muscle which felt really great and after doing this for 6 weeks I felt better. I was able to twist, bend and my injured muscles got better. Till one day a car hit me in the cross walk and spinned me to the ground. Because of the exercise and stretching I'm been doing I was okay with no body pain. We all need to learn to exercise and stretch as we get older.
Dr Dean was able to see me immediately upon referral for rehabilitation of my sprained ankle and leg weakness/difficulty balancing problems. His experience, caring and compassionate service were totally appreciated. He further took personal time to discuss his concerns with my neurologist. His office staff was highly accommodating and very efficient. Fully validated parking.
