Dr. Allen is a caring therapist that treats you one on one, for a full hour. He not only treats you physically but calms you mentally. He has improved my wife’s ankle/foot problem when no other therapist has succeeded. I highly recommend Dr. Allen for any physical therapy needs. Ju;y 31, 2026 - I recently returned to Dr. Allen after a couple years of absence. I find he is still the caring, thorough Therapist he was before. I am older now and my needs are different than before. Dr. Allen has developed a work-out program that will help improve my strength, mobility, and balance. I highly recommend him for whatever your needs are.

Response from the owner · 2 months ago

Thank you so much for coming back to see us! It means a lot that you returned to Chief after a couple of years, and we’re so glad Dr. Allen has been able to continue supporting you as your needs have changed. We love that your program is focused on keeping you strong, mobile, and confident with your balance. We truly appreciate your continued trust and recommendation!

This review is long overdue! In my very first visit with Dr. Allen he requested an X-ray of my hip, even though my complaint was pain down the back of my leg and around to the front of my knee. Sure enough, my hip joint was bone on bone. Dr. Allen referred me to an exceptional orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Allen helped me get as strong as possible before my surgery and then saw me through my complete recovery after surgery. I have had physical therapy over the years and have felt pretty neutral about the whole experience. Dr. Allen's practice sets the bar very high; if I ever need physical therapy in the future, I won't want to go anywhere else. Dr. Allen, Dr. Sandoval, Dr. Stewart, and Brenda are wonderful, caring people, and obviously enjoy helping people. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful review Susan! It has been an absolute privilege to be part of your journey from preparing for surgery through your full recovery. We’re so grateful you trusted us during each step of the process, and we’re proud of the strength and dedication you brought to your recovery. We’ll always be cheering you on!

This practice is top-notch all the way around. The most genuine and caring staff I've ever encountered in decades worth of medical appointments. They are so caring, way past what they are treating you for. Could not give a higher review!

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review Traci! It means so much to hear that you felt cared for throughout our office. Our team truly believes that great care starts with listening, building trust, and creating a welcoming experience for every patient who walks through our doors.

I have had an excellent experience at Chief Physical Therapy. Physical Therapists, Matt and Rebecca were recommended to me by my husband, who was a former patient. I was in significant pain with limited mobility when I first arrived. But, thanks to their expertise and encouragement, I’ve made great progress healing from my back surgery. The Physical Therapists treat you directly. They don’t utilize assistants in their practice. I think that one on one care contributed to my remarkable recovery. The staff is wonderful. I highly recommend Chief Physical Therapists!

Response from the owner · 2 months ago

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review Siofra! We feel so fortunate to have been part of your recovery and to have gotten to know you along the way. Your kindness always brightens our office, and seeing the progress you've made has been incredibly rewarding. Thank you for trusting us with your care and for recommending Chief Physical Therapy. We wish you nothing but continued health and happiness!
