Veronica Jow's Online Review Report Card

I felt that she cares mainly about booking patients into a package of PT sessions than helping me recover from my injuries. this may seem harsh but I had a very bad experience where a doctor exhibited the same type of attitude, lack of care, and things went terribly after. Bc of this other doc's negligence, i suffered pain for several yrs.

I come here for the classes and they are incredibly wonderful. Compared to other places in SF, their pricing for a drop-in class is a steal.

i visited dr. jow for shockwave therapy after suffering an injury that caused my lumbar spine to straighten and an annular bulge in my lumbar spine. before my injury i was very active and always in the gym. afterwards i couldn't sit, lie down, or stand for more than a half hour without being in severe pain. i would take aleve and muscle relaxers throughout the day just to get by.after just the first shockwave treatment with dr. jow the pain was 80% gone. i was able to sit on a five hour flight the next day with no issues. unless i arched my back, there was no pain at all. i was so happy i almost cried.i've completed four shockwave therapy sessions now and have regained almost full mobility in my back. while i still can't arch my back all the way, I've been able to resume moderate lifting workouts and am doing lots of assigned core workouts and stretches to prevent future injury. I'm so happy i found dr. jow. i feel like i've gotten my life back. aside the successful treatment, everyone in her office is so welcoming, fun, and kind. i hope i won't need shockwave therapy again but if i do i know who to call :)

I have been experiencing severe knee arthritis for 2 years now which onset very rapidly from sports injuries. As a very active person I've been trying everything, dozens of doctors visits, physical therapy appointments, multiple stem cell treatments, and cortisone injections. Recently I reached out to Avid Sports Medicine for shockwave therapy.This was by far the most productive therapy I've had to date, with noticeable differences after only a couple appointments. Their physical therapy sessions with Julietta were also very productive.I can't recommend Avid enough, and appreciate everything they've done to help me get my knee as back on track as it can be!

Dr. Jow is fantastic!!! I had a serious and chronic injury, and contacted her to get her perspective, and she could not have been more kind, helpful, and attentive. Before I even scheduled an appointment with her, she went back and forth with me over email, trying to help me strategize and sort out how to solve my issues. I was a mess! But she always responded so graciously and compassionately, and with such a focused expertise. Her office and staff were so well organized, and when Dr. Jow meets with you, you feel absolutely like the most important person in the world. She takes her time to learn about your symptoms and give you the most detailed information. Even better yet, she doesn't pressure you to get particular therapies or injections (which is what I was interested in), but instead works with you to find a solution that really fits with your goals. I have consulted many fancy sports medicine clinics, and I always feel I'm getting the hard sell to pay a lot for something I don't necessarily understand. Dr. Jow was the polar opposite of this! I highly recommend Dr. Jow and her practice

I've been going to Avid Sports Medicine foot a few months now for my knee and shoulder. Dr. How and her staff are wonderful. So skilled and knowledgeable. I have a very effective physical therapy exercise regimen that I do at home and With Dr. Jow's treatment on my knee, I'm feeling better than I have in a long time.

Dr. Jow and the team at Avid are incredible. Not only are they super accommodating - I've been able to schedule and reschedule appointments on short notice, and one time when I showed up on the wrong DAY Dr. Jow still managed to see me! But they also give attentive, knowledgeable, tailored care that really works. I've had more progress with them in the last six months than with the dozens of chiropractors, physical therapists, and orthopedic surgeons I've seen for my chronic back pain in the last six years. Can't recommend enough.

I turned to this place after a serious sports injury to my feet. They were so helpful, thorough and Dr. Jow is highly attentive and skilled. I.did physical therapy with them as well and later had a cyst aspirated. Cannot say enough good things. Highly recommend.

My shoulder was so painful that it was hard for me to move around and take care of my kids. I took tons of Advil and Tylenol. I went to my primary care provider, who gave me a steroid shot. Nothing made a dent in the pain.Dr. Jow and her team assessed me, did an in-office ultrasound and a Shockwave treatment, and assigned me physical therapy exercises via a telehealth app.What a HUGE difference. Within weeks, the pain had subsided. My shoulder made a full recovery, and now I swim 5 days/week!Dr. Jow is a caring, attentive, and brilliant doctor. Her diagnosis and treatment recommendations succeeded where others' did not. I can't recommend her enough.

I wanted to post an update to my previous review. I have been a patient of Dr. Jow and her amazing team for over a year. For the first time in 4 years after seeing numerous doctors and PTs - I have never felt better! I am able to do all the activities I love to do - hiking, biking, yoga - without pain or inflammation. In fact, I have been able to increase my activity level which has just improved my overall happiness. I owe much of this to her thoughtful care and the PT program/exercises. It makes all the difference in the world to have a doctor and care team that listen and really try to help.
