Joel Scherr Physical Therapy

Pros:Knowledgeable and kind Dr Cons:The office appears to have accepted too many patients, limiting the amount of time Dr. Joel can spend with each individual. In my experience, sessions lasted no more than 10 minutes each with him. There seems to be a staffing issue, to the extent that I once had a front desk staff member administer EMS shockwave therapy, indicating a potential shortfall in clinical staff. The cleanliness of the physical therapy tables is a concern, as they often appear dirty. Overall: This office certainly has the potential to offer exceptional service, as it perhaps once did. The expertise and kindness of Dr. Joel are evident, but the quality of care and patient experience are currently compromised by overbooking and staffing challenges. Improvement in these areas could potentially restore the level of service long-standing clients remember.

My 2nd attempt to post a review. Physical Therapist, Patrick is excellent. He is well-educated , well-trained, thorough, attentive, holistic in his approach, calm, affable, respectful and listens. I had too little engagement with Joel Scherr to express an opinion, but he was relaxed and affable. Unfortunately, I stopped my treatment early due to sub-standard care from the exercise aid on the gym floor. Though I am in my late sixties, my background was in professional dance and exercise aid “B” was, in my view, not adequately trained or experienced to be helpful to me. More importantly, “B” was overbooked. He was the only exercise aid n the gym, had too many clients to be available to focus, was too rigidly fixed in his approach, Inflexible in his ability to listen to the clients, and, adopted a cookie-cutter approach to each client. He also felt far too free to make unwelcome and unwanted sexual comments and jokes to me or within earshot.

As someone who’s had four surgeries and attended physical therapy many more times than that across three states, I feel uniquely qualified to judge a physical therapy practice on its merits. And I can say without hesitation that Joel Scherr Physical Therapy provided me with the most outstanding, personalized treatment I have ever received. Aside from helping me rehab to 100% strength, which I’ve struggled to achieve for many years, Joel and his staff also helped me to overcome the psychological trauma that my injuries have created. The individual treatment rooms are an added bonus, and one can expect to receive personal care from Joel during each and every session. Undoubtedly, the time I spent there has helped me round a corner and set me on a path for a better, healthier life. If you are rehabbing from an injury, do not think twice about putting your trust in Joel and his staff.

Today was my first visit/treatment and it won’t be my last I definitely plan on returning for more treatment. Joel Scherr and his staff are awesome. Very clean and welcoming location. Joel Scherr is very passionate about his patients wellbeing on their road to recovery. I got all of this about Joel today from our initial meeting and treatment. Would recommend to anyone in need of physical therapy without hesitation. So glad to have become a new patient of Joel Scherr. Thank you and I’ll see you sooner than later.

I got into a 3 way car accident earlier this year in my smart car (of course I was the car in the middle - ouch). I was all out of sorts for a while and eventually lucked into Joel's office where the bad luck finally came to an end. Though it wasn't a fast process (to my work's dismay), it took seconds of being treated here that I was in more then capable hands. Joel is a fantastic doctor who explains everything, doesn't mind questions, is very easy to communicate with and truly cares about his patients. This is also reflected on his entire staff from the assistants to the receptionists, all of whom personalize your experience, are always willing to help, and make you feel welcome during every appointment. I've been to a few PT offices in my day and most of them seem to treat you like cattle. Fortunately this office does just the opposite and puts your recovery and sanity first. I am happy to report that I am feeling much better these days and it's all thanks to my amazing experience with this particular office. I highly recommend Joel Scherr and his team to everyone looking for a quality physical therapist.

Joel Scherr first treated me in 2001 and gave me great medical care. Seventeen years later I needed PT after surgery and so returned to receive his excellent physical therapy. Joel provides honest, no-nonsense, quality medical treatment. With more than 30 years experience, Dr. Scherr handles any and all PT conditions with great caring, good humor, and complete effectiveness. You could not find a better physical therapy professional than him.

SInce moving to LA 10 years ago, I've been to 12 physiotherapists and chiropractors for an ongoing shoulder issue that no one was able to treat, but of course they were all happy to charge me for their failure. It took Joel Scherr a few minutes to identify my problem, and after massaging life into a few rock-solid muscles, relief swept over me. My pain levels went from 7-8 to 0-1 immediately. The treatment rooms are excellent and the staff are a delight but, quite frankly, I wouldn't care if they all growled at me. I'm cured!!!!

Joel Scherr and Vincent are both excellent PT's who are very good at treating patients and explaining what they are doing and why. The staff at this office are extremely professional, competent and efficient. All great things when you're injured and need that regular injection of hope that you are and will get physically better and stronger.
