Advance Physical Therapy Inc's Online Review Report Card

The staff at Advance Physical Therapy have been amazing at helping me with my TMJ problems. Every time I visit, I have remarkably fewer headaches, jaw pains, and backaches. Thank you!

I have been working with Dr. Ching for about 4 years pretty consistently and can't thank him and the advance physical therapy crew enough for keeping me going. He is truly the best physical therapist around in the bay and might actually be the best in my opinion on the west coast. He has helped get rid of my migraines COMPLETELY and significantly reduced the affects of a rare visual issue that once ruined me on a day to day basis and prevented me from exceeding at work. He's also helped heal injuries associated with knee, back, wrists, shoulder and ankle pain from snowboarding and working out. If you want a place that actually cares about solving your issues and not just making a buck, you neeeeed to head here. Thanks again and blessed to have Dr. Ching in my corner!

Dr. Ching is fantastic! Would highly recommend! After trying out ~6 or 7 physical therapy locations, last year I decided to continue long term. ! I'd /highly/ recommend him to anyone needing help with advanced training equipment.

Dr. Deanne Smith is awesome. I wasn't able to turn my neck to the side for like a year, and in one visit she got a lot more motion out of it. I'm still seeing her for a few more visits to really get a handle on the problem. I also saw her about a problem with my foot. I thought I had plantar fasciitis, but it seems to have been something else and the exercises she gave me allowed me to go from hobbling across the floor in pain to little or no pain.

I came to the Sunnyvale location of this establishment this past summer for knee pain. My family doctor recommended it. I have never gone to have physical therapy before and had my doubts. I was welcomed by a very nice staff member and filled out some forms about my symptoms then met with Deanne for my appointment. She was/is fantastic! Very warm and personable and examined me thoroughly and was able to diagnose the source of the problem. She also prepared exercises for me to do on my own to fix the issue and it ended up going great! I still do the exercises to keep the pain from reoccurring. I was/am so happy and so impressed with this level of care. That was with one visit. She also gave me her email address to reach out with any questions. It was going above and beyond. I recently started having a new odd problem with heel pain with my other leg and called in to make an appointment with Deanne but the receptionist said she was booked out for weeks. I wrote to her about it. To no surprise, she already had an idea of what the problem most likely was and found some time to squeeze me in earlier. Unfortunately, it was still a tad far out and I was going out of town so she recommended I go see Dr. Matalon at their Redwood City location. I took the appointment and met Dr. Matalon and she was fantastic as well! She thoroughly examined me and diagnosed the problem and set up a treatment plan of action with exercises and stretches to do on my own and also gave me her email address if I had further questions. This was yesterday and I am already feeling better and will stick with the treatment plan and feel confident that with this treatment plan, these symptoms will subside in the next few weeks. I should mention nothing is instant and I still had/have to put in the work of doing the stretches and exercises but knowing what the problem is and having a plan of action to remedy it is priceless to me. I would highly recommend this place (either location) for anyone living with pain.

Before seeing Dr.Ching, I had been suffering from chronic back pain for the past 10 years. My quality of life was greatly reduced -- I could no longer play contact sports, running would injure my back, and I couldn't even bend forward without experiencing significant pain -- and I'm only in my late twenties! I've seen multiple physical therapists and chiropractors and things have been more or less the same. I thought that's just how I'm going to live for the rest of my life -- in pain and limited motion, and I'm just waiting for the eventual surgery or ... I tried not to even think about it. Dr.Ching and his staff gave me hope because I've improved significantly since I started seeing him a couple months ago. Dr.Ching is very kind and knowledgeable, and he knows so much about how the body works -- his analysis about my back pain is on point and the treatment plan thus far has been extremely effective. Dr. Ching evaluates my back and the muscles on every visit and adjusts my exercise plans accordingly, gradually "retraining" my back to functioning properly. Obviously there's still a long way to go on my road to recovery -- but so far I've made significant progress. I am able to bend without pain, I can recover significantly faster from injuries and pain, and I've gained A LOT of knowledge about my condition and how to work towards improving it. Dr.Ching and his staff are literally helping me to get back years of quality life. I highly recommend this practice and the results will speak for itself.

Highly recommend Alton and team. I had a knee replacemnt and within 4 weeks of therapy was going up and down 5 flghts of stairs. Very poisitve group and top notch! BZ

Awesome doctor and therapists

I think Advance Physical therapy is the go-to Therapy clinic in the Silicon Valley. I believe Dr. Cheng, the owner, is exceptionally talented, skilled, sensitive, caring and just cool ! Plus he is on the cutting edge in terms of neuroplasticy and general medical knowledge. I have heard great things about his staff (from some of my patients) and even though it is a bit of a drive from Los Gatos it is not bad in non rush hour. For sure it is worth it!! I had an ulnar nerve injury, some back and shoulder issues and Dr. Cheng has been amazing at helping me with all. I have researched physical therapy, seen enough therapists over the years and I believe you can Advance your Life with Dr. Cheng and his group--as long as you do your part! Patrice I prefer the Sunnyvale office as I live in los Gatos!

Very highly recommended. Dr. Ching and his team are substantially above the rest. I have seen three other physical therapists in the past, and Advance Physical Therapy comfortably stands out compared to the others. I have a very acute tendonitis in my right wrist (from heavy keyboard and mouse usage at work) and I was initially unable to do most normal functions with that hand because of the stiffness and pain. After several visits and some stretching and strengthening (done at home) I've regained the use of the wrist, which enables me to do my job properly! The people at Advance Physical Therapy are total professionals and the quality of care is superb. If you have an injury or other recovery treated by them, you are in very good hands.
