WHAT OUR PATIENTS THINK ABOUT RESPIRE PHYSICAL THERAPY
Dennis Nguyen

There are so many reasons why Respire Physical Therapy is a wonderful place to get physical therapy. I did about 8 weeks of PT 2x a week to help me regain flexibility and strength for my foot after bunion surgery, and throughout all my visits, I felt like me and my dog were treated like family. Did I say "dog"? Yes, my pup was welcomed to every PT visit and she also got along with their dog, Grizz. For dog-lovers, this is probably the top reason why you should pick this practice over any others. Here's a list of all the other reasons to choose this place: both Helen and Dr. Kevin Tseng were very welcoming and accommodating, the quality of PT was excellent (started off easy and careful and gradually cranked up the difficulty as could be endured), scheduling appointments was easy and early or late appointments are available, parking is abundant and free, location is great, and recovery snacks were a plus. It's been a few months since my last PT appointment, and since then I've done many strenuous hikes, regular workouts, and running without pain. I highly recommend this practice.

I was having lower back pain every time I stood up and when I walked. I tried many Chiropractors to physical therapist, but my pain would not go away and I was getting worried that I would have to live with pain forever. After getting treated at Respire for 8 weeks, my lower back pain feels so much better now. I can walk in the community for 45 minutes with my grandson now! Dr Kevin is so knowledgeable and really takes the time to explain and work with the patient. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming specially "Helen" she is the best ever. They make sure that everyone follows the CDC guidelines for safety and cleanliness. Thank you so much for taking such a wonderful care of me.I will certainly be back and I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking for physical therapy.

I have suffered from back pain for almost 15 years. When I came to Respire Physical Therapy, Dr. Kevin was so understanding and gave a lot of advice from the first day. After 16 sessions, I feel way better now. I highly recommend this place, and Dr. Kevin and his wife Helen are so lovely and very helpful.

I came to Respire to address a rotator cuff injury I've had for some time now. Both Kevin and Helen were very welcoming and created a positive environment. Kevin was able to diagnose my injury and put together a program that helped me recovery my strength in 3-4 weeks and return to my normal activities . He was attentive and took time to ask how I was progressing at each session and where/if I was feeling pain. I also appreciated the little things they did to show their appreciation for their patients and would highly recommend them to others looking for a physical therapist.

Helen and Kevin are quite possibly the most kind and welcoming people I've ever met. Along with their amazing hospitality, treatment was tailored carefully to my condition and needs, and recovery was made at a pace that was not uncomfortable, but still challenging. Their honest effort and genuine care for their patients really shows!

I go to Kevin Teng at Respire for relief from osteoarthritis. He provided me with resistance bands to continue stretch exercises at home to get the best results possible. He listens to my feedback on how I did during the days since last session, and makes adjustments to address my concerns. His practice is a most welcoming environment, and I enjoy working with him and Helen. They are very accommodating with respect to scheduling appointments, offering appointments on Saturdays as well as weekdays. They seem genuinely concerned for their patients.

I came into Respire Physical Therapy coming off a stress fracture to my foot. I had low confidence in my ability to run again and a very weak foot. The moment I walked in the door I knew this place was special. I immediately felt welcomed by Helen and Kevin, and of course Grizz (the dog). The customer service is superb. They are both very professional and genuinely care about you. Kevin is very knowledgable and patient and even gave me exercises to do at home to assist in my recovery. The facility is very clean and I love the one on one attention that you receive here. I am glad to say that I am back running and don’t know if I could have done it without them.

The best!.Amazing customer services. Always welcomed with great energy and kindness. Kevin (therapist) is awesome with choosing stretches and strength exercises for my injury and I'm sure he is with every patient. Helen (front desk) is very welcoming, polite, and makes sure to keep you up to date with your appointments, which is honestly great for people that tend to forget like myself. Both are very professional at what they do and it's an amazing journey to go through with them.

I would like to write these few lines to all those who live in the area and who need a physiotherapist that I highly recommend ... My case I was about to have an operation on my left shoulder in October 2020 ..After a family meeting my 2 children (tennis coaches) suggested that I try doing therapy sessions ... During the month of November 2020 I went to see two physiotherapists whom I was not at all convinced. Why? the 2 doctors look after the patient for 20-30 minutes then they send you to the trainer already busy with 2 patients plus you ... Result 3 patients for a trainer .... Doctor Kevin, once you are auscultated and decided the number of sessions ... I did 20 sessions in total including 2 per week ... Now I gradually start playing tennis again ... During these 20 sessions, Doctor Kevin takes care of me in person as follows: 40 minutes of real massage with gel 5a 10 minutes of exercise and 10 minutes of heat ... This gentleman impressed me so much with the way he take care and works with his patients that my wife suffering from her back went to see him ... Dr Kevin and his wife Helene extremely kind and the cleanliness of their practice is impeccable ....

It’s been a very long time since I’ve came across amazing customer service and outstanding front desk manners. Kevin takes his time to listen and explain things in a way you understand. I brought my mom for an issue she was having and was feeling relief almost immediately after her appt

If you ever have any physical sport injuries, or compete, this is the place for you! I power-lift and do jiu-jitsu, so I’m prone, to a wide variety of injuries. My bench was doing terrible (I had scapular winging), and it affected my competitions immensely. However, only after a few weeks with Dr.Kevin, I was able to stabilize my scapula, and bring things back to a normal degree. He and his wife Helen, creat a positive atmosphere. After a certain point, they became more like a close family, rather than some place to visit occasionally. So, if you ever have any type of injury, please don’t hesitate to visit and fix a prolonged issue.(My son is also happy with my progress)

I came to Respire after I injured my back deadlifting. I was worried that I would not be able to be ready for my wrestling season. Kevin was able to identify the problem and help my back pain go away! Helen was very welcoming and I am happy that I found this place. Thank you for everything!

I came to Respire after I had osteoarthritis in both of my hips. I was unable to get out of bed or walk without a rolling walker. I opted for hip replacements for both of my hips and I could not be happier with the service here. Kevin and the respire team were professional and I had an amazing recovery. I am happy to say that I can walk over a mile without using any walker or cane. I am also back to work with no pain. Thank you so much!

I had a wonderful experience at Respire Physical Therapy! I went in for knee pain that was preventing me from exercising. Dr. Teng identified the issue, and his treatments and home exercises he gave me helped strengthen my knee and the muscles surrounding it. Kevin and Helen create a welcoming, warm environment and did a great job following CDC guidelines during Covid. Grizz, the office dog, is a plus as well! I would highly recommend this practice and plan to return if I ever need physical therapy again.

I met Kevin and Helen for the first time today and had such a great experience! This is only the very beginning of my journey to a healthy knee, and my surgery is ahead, but I already feel comfortable and certain that I’ll get there very soon in the hands of Dr. Teng. He is super friendly, highly professional, very patient and extremely helpful in explaining everything that’s going on. Highly recommend!
