Tri City Physical Therapy

They’re nice people.

I went here and had Tristan as my physical therapist. He seems very competent and knowledgeable, and is fully attentive to the patient. I’ve had other therapists in the past, at a different place, and neither of them were as good as Tristan.

I adore working with Dennis. I don’t have experience with Lisa or Chris but Dennis is top notch. Always friendly, helpful and knowledgable.
I came in for an ankle injury & was referred by my doctor. PT is definitely helping me. I mentioned some other pain I was having elsewhere & he immediately checked me & gave me advice on it!
My only minor complaint is that the assistants aren’t quite as friendly or attentive. They are nice but not warm. But they get the job done.
I feel lucky to have found Dennis!

So the 1 review for this place is a bit harsh. I was seen in this office for pulled tendons in my hand. The other review was about Lisa and Lisa happened to be my PT also. She is a surfer, very talkative, and I guess she is not everyone’s cup of tea. I found her refreshing, we always had lots to talk about and her assistants were very attentive. If I needed her to massage harder I just asked. She is easier than Dennis or Chris but speak up for yourself if u need more pressure or better stretching. I didn’t have Dennis or Chris work on my hand but have heard great things about them and they were always sweet.
If u need aggressive use one of the guys for deeper pressure and let Lisa be for the softer stuff. I would go back for treatment if I could and would recommend this office to friends.

Avoid this place at all costs.
I’m not an inflammatory Unilocaler. I’m fair… I say it like it is… and I normally prefer to write *good* reviews. But this place really deserves a low rating. I wish I would’ve been cautioned to go elsewhere.
I went to PT here for tendonitis in my elbow. The woman who treated me was lousy (Lisa — she’s a surfer, and is very grumpy).
First of all, her bedside manner was terrible. She chided me for many things, despite the fact that I was 100% compliant and came to every appointment. She was always complaining — about everything and anything (the office, the weather, other patients, me, etc.).
I asked the front desk for a new therapist, but was told that would require a new evaluation and a re-​start of treatment… and at that point (about ¹⁄₃ through my insurance-​authorized # of visits) I had already observed the other therapists, and they all seemed to do the same treatments (all elbow people get xyz) although the others had MUCH better bedside manner, and I didn’t want to have to start all the way over.
The best point in my therapy was when my therapist was gone for a week. The substitute — from an outside employer — was SO sweet (a breath of fresh air), and even better, she changed my treatment plan to something more effective!
My therapist was able to fix half of my tendonitis (thanks to the better treatment plan the sub came up with), but couldn’t figure out how else to help my elbow. So at my last appt, she told me «You’re going to just have to come to terms with the fact that you have a bum elbow.» Um, WHAT?! Isn’t that what PT is for?! I’m in my 30s and «a bum elbow», b/​c a PT is terrible at her job, is completely unacceptable. (I have since consulted an orthopedic dr, and he said I have double tendonitis — both «tennis elbow» AND «golf elbow», but she had only treated the one.)
It seems like this place is mainly for treating old people on medicaid. They crank them in and out. The treatments are very rote: you’re an elbow person, here’s what elbow treatment is (regardless of what your elbow problem is).
Overall, my experience left me hardly better than I’d arrived. Terrible therapist. And no customization nor thinking outside the box. ANYWHERE has got to be better than here.
