Testimonials

I have known Julie for several years during my therapy and recovery. She is always professional and personable. Most recently, after her first massage, I experienced 100% relief from my neck pain for the first time since April. – Deb R.

I first came to EDPT in 2007 after having a total knee replacement. At that time Julie was my primary therapist. She was the main reason I selected EDPT after my second total knee replacement. Julie has worked with me this time also and I am pleased to say she is still as much fun and professional as ever. It’s not often that time goes by quickly when we are healing. Julie makes that happen. Special thanks to Julie and the staff at Shingle Springs. – Ralph E.

I just wanted to send a quick thank you to you and your team for all the great PT you have done over the years on my sciatic nerve. It hasn’t bothered me at all since the birth of my son 9 months ago and I am training for marathons full time again! Just thought you should know how awesome your facility is and that I tell everyone with a complaint to go there. – Jess F

I am so pleased with the progress after shoulder surgery. I feel I’m a month ahead of schedule thanks to your professionals. Joanne, Michelle, Jessica and Ruben were great to work with during my rehab. – Steve R

“I’d like to compliment the staff at your Shingle Springs facility for being thoroughly professional, competent, and making the not so pleasant job of rehab, enjoyable. John moved the process of my partial knee replacement at a good steady rate –not too much, well a couple times too much, but not too slow, either. Julie with the good hands-on and monitoring the exercises greatly improved performance of the knee. The atmosphere was good, with positive attitudes from all the staff. I think you have an excellent facility and I’d like to again thank them for all their help.” – Jeff D.

“Michele is an invaluable part of your team. Beyond being great at what she does, she always has a smile on her face, is optimistic and generally someone other people want to be around. I walk away from sessions with her feeling so much better physically and energized from my time with her. I am motivated to try harder at home to continue and build on the progress I make with her yet not afraid to tell her where I ‘ve fallen short. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs any sort of PT or just someone to make them feel great. My neck is so glad I found her!” - Rachael W.

“I’m a runner who sustained an injury that allowed only walking. The staff at El Dorado Physical Therapy is extremely knowledgeable and patient.

I recently began aquatic therapy. It is a real plus to my therapy regime. Julie is so caring and doesn’t hesitate to work in the pool one on one as well as encouraging all in the group.

I am impressed by the positive atmosphere that is always present in the clinic and among the staff. I am always greeted by name and on time. It is evident that all the staff are very dedicated and committed to the valuable service they render.” – Cheryl G.

“I have been treated at El Dorado Physical therapy for about 10 months since I broke my back. The staff is professional and yet personable. I feel like a part of the family.

“My name is Tina and I have had pancreatic cancer for nearly three years. In my battle to fight this cancer, I have had one surgery and 59 chemotherapy sessions. While visiting my internist in February of last year, I told him I had been experiencing pain in my knees and in my lower back. Because of all of the inactivity in the past three years, I had developed the beginnings of arthritis. He suggested I do some physical therapy. I had previously been a patient of Diane’s as a result of a shoulder injury, and we developed a friendship. Diane has been a good friend and has come to my house to visit me during my illness. I called her with my prescription from my internist and she immediately had me come in to see her for an evaluation. She recommended I try aqua and physical therapy at her Folsom Rehabilitative Center.

As a cancer patient, I cannot explain what a difference this place has had on my life. Not only have the therapists there helped with my aches and pains, they have helped me in ways I never imagined. Being in the pool has helped me with my anxiety caused by my cancer. Because of my low blood counts, I rarely get out of the house much and socialize with other people. The only times I do get out of my house is for doctor appointments, my chemo treatments, and acupuncture treatments. In the pool, I have met many clients with stories to tell. They are all very friendly and encouraging.

The staff at El Dorado Physical Therapy treat me like family, even those who are not involved in my treatment. Bonnie and Dave have been so encouraging in wanting to know how I am doing. Nicci and Kathy are wonderful people; always professional with a warm and personal touch.

Even though I have a horrific type of cancer, they push me to keep trying to build my stamina and encourage me to try harder. Yet, on days after I have chemo, and bad days from the side affects of the chemo, Nicci and Kathy are always understanding and always patient. After their treatment, I always feel better both physically and mentally. They help me get my mind off myself. I am not Tina with cancer, I am just a person who is like everyone else because my illness is not visible.

People do not realize how important these types of therapy can be to cancer patients. We spend hours of inactivity either from sitting in chairs being infused with chemo drugs for hours, and then needing to lay in bed recuperating from the side effects of chemo sessions. We spend many hours sitting in doctor offices, or sitting in a chair just watching television because we have so little energy, etc.

Aqua therapy and physical therapy have been a Godsend to me. I have another life other than cancer because of it. I am so thankful to Diane both as a friend and as a professional who looks outside of the box to find therapies to fit all kinds of situations. Who would have thought aqua therapy and physical therapy would benefit cancer patients?” – Tina O.
