Chief Physical Therapy

I cannot recommend Dr. Matt Allen highly enough! His expertise, professionalism, and caring nature truly set him apart. From the moment I started my physical therapy sessions with him, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Allen has a deep understanding of my extremely painful frozen shoulder and tailored a personalized treatment plan that has helped me make significant progress. His encouragement and positive attitude have been instrumental in keeping me motivated throughout my recovery journey. I am grateful for Dr. Allen's dedication and the genuine care he shows towards his patients. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate physical therapist with an amazing staff, look no further than Dr. Matt Allen at Chief PhysicalTherapy!

I was referred to Dr. Matt Allen by my orthopedic surgeon after having rotator cuff and bicep repair. Not surprisingly, I developed frozen shoulder with significant limited mobility which only added frustration to the pain from the surgery. I was immediately impressed with his practice by the quick response and friendly personality of Brenda in his front office. The fact that his practice consists of himself, Brenda, and one other therapist, I received personal one-on-one care instead of the open “bullpen” therapy center approach. Dr. Allen is very knowledgeable and treats you in an extremely courteous and professional manner, and he always listened to my concerns and questions. Would I recommend and go back to Chief Physical Therapy if needed in the future? Absolutely!

I had been getting treatment elsewhere for pains extending from my right shoulder down into my elbow (I couldn’t bend my elbow at all without pain); however, I didn’t feel like we were working on quite the right areas since the focus of treatment was only on my shoulder and I wasn’t feeling any improvement after 6 weeks. I went to see Dr. Rebecca Sandoval, and she spend over an hour both listening to me and performing gentle tests to pinpoint what was going on from neck to wrist, and how we would tackle treatment going forward. SHE IS AMAZING!! We have addressed several issues including nerves (no longer an issue at all after a few weeks) and re-training my muscles to perform properly for strengthening areas that had been neglected while other muscles had been overused to point of injury. I’m so grateful to Dr. Rebecca Sandoval, as well as Brenda and Dr. Matt Allen who are always extremely kind, attentive, and helpful. They make an amazing team and I feel so much relief in knowing I have their support and guidance for my PT needs. They truly put their patients FIRST!!!

After sustaining a major shoulder injury, I was referred to Chief Physical Therapy by my physician. Dr. Sandoval conducted a thorough assessment of my shoulder and implemented a comprehensive, progressive rehabilitation plan. Within a very short period, I regained full strength and range of motion and was able to resume athletic activities such as tennis and soccer. In addition to the amazing professional care I received from Dr. Sandoval, her personality made physical therapy fun! She created a professional, yet relaxed atmosphere that allowed me to provide honest, genuine feedback on how my body was progressing and responding to her treatment regimen. Thank you, Dr. Sandoval! I highly recommend Chief Physical Therapy!

I chose Chief PT after my knee replacement because a friend had passed on really good reviews for knee rehab. I'm glad to say that they were spot on. Dr. Sandoval knows her business and is very responsive to any client special and specific needs. In my case my non repaired knee is fast approaching the need for replacement and she was able to design work arounds that allowed the rehab of the repaired knee without causing a lot of pain in the "good" knee. Everybody in the office is fun to be around and that is saying something when your entire reason for being there is to work up a sweat making a repaired body part do things that it doesn't want to do. I guess my highest praise is that when I do get my other knee done I'll be right back to Chief for PT.

My mother-in-law recently began her rehabilitation journey with Chief Physical Therapy following a fractured shoulder, and I couldn't be more impressed with the care she has received. As the owner of a large sports performance and physical therapy clinic in San Diego, I have high standards when it comes to physical therapy services, and Chief Physical Therapy has exceeded them in every way. From the moment she stepped into the clinic, the staff at Chief Physical Therapy has provided exceptional care. They offer personalized, one-on-one appointments, ensuring that each patient receives the individual attention they need. This level of dedication is crucial for effective rehabilitation, and it has made a significant difference in my mother-in-law's recovery process. One of the standout qualities of Chief Physical Therapy is their ability to work with a diverse range of patients. Regardless of age or physical condition, the team is skilled at tailoring their treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each individual. This inclusive approach ensures that everyone, from young athletes to older adults, receives the highest standard of care. The therapists, especially Matt, at Chief Physical Therapy are not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely compassionate. They have created a welcoming and supportive environment that has made my mother-in-law feel comfortable and confident in her recovery. Their expertise in managing and treating her fractured shoulder has been evident through her steady progress and improved mobility. I highly recommend Chief Physical Therapy to anyone in need of physical therapy services. Their commitment to personalized care, coupled with their ability to work with all demographics, sets them apart as a top-tier clinic. My mother-in-law's positive experience is a testament to their exceptional service and dedication to patient well-being.

After being in a car accident and sustaining injuries, I was blessed to have Dr. Matt Allen as my Physical therapist. As someone who has social anxiety,he and let's not forget about his staff,made me feel welcome as if I was family and have known them for years. While he work hard helping me get me get back on my feet. No pun intended., he would listen to my talk and vent as it is one thing I do alot when I feel nervous. He was gentle and made sure I never over worked or cause anymore discomfort to my injuries as I was in my healing process. I mean for someone to be as close to someone foot,literally my foot and knee I couldn't ask for anybody else. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs physical therapy.
