Orthopedic Physical Therapy Associates

Lider Chan has good experience so I am happy to visit this place to hopefully get somewhere. He says my symptoms are classic, but he understands that it is very tough and has encouraged further specialist review of my condition. In the meanwhile, he offers encouragement and offers the latest in healing technologies, such as cold laser. As I have gone through visits with him, he definitely urges a good specialist to look at my condition to see what they can do (surgery or at least some images to see if I am in danger of life threatening issues). He is very conservative but by now he has seen enough. Better than any therapist I have seen due to his experience, he will probe, question, and understands the translation from the textbooks to the clinic (me).

Dr. Chan is an absolute miracle worker. I came here last year for a knee injury in a matter of weeks, he had me 100% back to normal. Now I am back, having a new shoulder impingement attended to. Once again, I feel like I am in extremely competent, caring hands. Dr. Chan and his entire team are terrific — friendly, efficient, and most importantly, effective.
I also appreciate the convenience of this office. There is usually meter parking right near the front door, or one block away is a big garage (next to Trader Joe’s) with easy validation. Even though I mark my appointments for an hour on the calendar, I am usually out in less than 45 minutes. I have never had to wait in the waiting room more than five minutes before being ushered back to the treatment area.
One other thing I really like is that the doctor mixes physical manipulation of the injured area with some cool high-​tech devices: laser treatment, ultrasound treatment, and electrical stimulation. I can feel immediate results and less pain after every visit, which I really appreciate.
Bottom line, if you’re dealing with something that physical therapy can help with: shoulder injury, knee injury, back injury… come see these folks. You won’t regret it.
