Select Physical Therapy - Palo Alto

I have had a work injury for over 4 years, the injury in my hand is painful and it limits my capacities. Since I been treated by Sofia Weiss, I had experienced less pain and the mobility is improving in my hand and wrist. Great OT, highly recommended. I have had 2-3 OT for this injury and so far has been the best and the most effective.

After receiving eight weeks of helpful physical therapy from Niyati and Trevor for a shaking in my right hand and arm, they asked if I wanted to see a hand specialist. Yes, please. So I got a referral to Sofia Weiss, who is actually an occupational therapist. My gosh, did she open my eyes to what occupational therapy is about. Sofia introduced me to many sorts of techniques for understanding the relationship between my brain and my hand. I worked to strengthen the cognitive control of my hand and re-establish associations in my brain with parts of my hand. My condition improved considerably and I concluded my sessions with new methods for continuing to make progress. In between my appointments, Sofia, who has a background in cognitive science, did research and developed ideas for me to try. She worked very hard to help me. I felt I owed it to her to work hard myself; she inspired me to do so. The sessions were so novel I was exhilarated. Sofia is a true specialist who cares about her patients, and she is a remarkable talent..

This is a great facility, conveniently located, the vibe inside is calm and peaceful which you want when working on improving an injury. The location is clean and bright and the desk staff is quite nice and friendly, I am working with Ms. Weiss, OT. She takes the time to listen to your concerns, figure out a plan that adapts to your needs, make changes when needed and follow through to help you achieve your goals, I am grateful for her help and the opportunity to heal myself. Thank you!!

Nice environment and friendly. Physical therapists (the doctors/MDs) here seem knowledgeable and my few sessions with them helped noticeably. But almost all my sessions were with an incompetent PT assistant who, for example, didn’t know the detailed diagnosis or whether to apply ice or heat or which muscles to release and would consult me about everything. I went to this clinic for 5 months to little benefit and very slow improvement. I switched to a different PT office and they have almost fully healed me within 2 months with a proper diagnosis and timed treatment plan. Plus their issues with insurance handling were too much. If you do go here, try to get appts with Roselle or Frank. If you must schedule with a PT assistant, try to choose Victor.

Sofia was wonderful after I broke a couple of metacarpals. She listened, which is a vital part of therapy, and she had creative ways to adapt the exercises to my situation. Because she was dedicated and knowledgeable, I have a well-mended and highly functional hand. I highly recommend her as an occupational therapist!

Niyati Rajesh Mehra is an excellent physical therapist in Select Physical Therapy , Palo Alto, She is vey devoted. knowledgeable therapist. I.am improving fast after my total knee replacement surgery .

I was a patient back in 2022 and had a great experience. I recommend everyone go to PT based on my experience in 2022. However I wanted to start going back again this year and have had such a hard time getting them on the phone. I called four times and left voicemails each time and never got a call back. I called again and then finally was able to talk to someone who picked up and scheduled me for an appointment. The appointment is three weeks away and I am trying to call and reschedule it and still I’m getting the voicemail and no one is calling me back. Overall the physical therapists are great but the scheduling and front desk could use a lot of work.

I really like the staff at Select Physical Therapy, especially Roselle Kelley and Victor Mitra. They are both very knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoy my sessions with them (sorta🤔).
