Select Physical Therapy - Berkeley

Fantastic experience: The staff at Select Physical therapy are extremely professional as well as warm and caring. My work with Bronté has made a giant difference in my health and life. I would recommend this office to anyone!

Fantastic experience: As a high level athlete in Skydiving, Skiing and other sports, I have had to recovery from numerous injuries, so I have had many experiences with many medical professionals. In the 2 sessions that I have had with her, she rates at the very top, and I am now counting her expertise and my hard work to get me back involved in the sports that I love.

Fantastic experience: This was my first PT experience and it couldn't have been better! Bronte was wonderful and quickly helped me gain back my knee strength and mobility. She was able to assess my progress each week and push me just enough to see significant improvement with each visit. The facility and staff were also very nice!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful physical therapy experience. My shoulder was simply not getting better months after injury, and Bronte quickly identified the correct exercises to help it improve. Their appointments are an hour long and everyone there is friendly, knows what they're talking about, and care for their work. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: These guys are awesome. They are super knowledgeable and helpful, but also gentle and accommodating and have a good rapport with their clients. Even the logistical stuff is great, scheduling appointments and changing them is easy, and they have really lenient rescheduling and cancelation policies.

Fantastic experience: Honestly could not have chosen a better PT in the area. Very professional staff and also a staff that cares about their patients. I worked with Derric J. Lee throughout all my sessions, and because of him and his knowledge, i recovered from my back injury. Derric, you the man!

Fantastic experience: The best

Fantastic experience: Derric was able to identify what was ailing me day 1; it took me 720 days to get there. Thanks Derric!

Fantastic experience: Brontë Green is a wealth of physical therapy knowledge and has excellent bedside manner. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their physical ailments!

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience here. Bronte is a great physical therapist, I felt cared for and listened to. I got better quickly and had a great time.

Fantastic experience: Brontë Green is a wealth of physical therapy knowledge and has excellent bedside manner. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their physical ailments!

Fantastic experience: Top-notch, professional PT care, with wonderful service and logistical support. David Chan clearly has exceptional expertise, and brings both short-term goals and long-term outlook into play. The programs he advised for me, and oversaw in sessions, have shown real results already, while providing a lifelong structure and exercises for me to follow going forward.

Fantastic experience: Select Physical Therapy is located very conveniently in downtown Berkeley. It took me at least ten years to realize I could do PT there. When you walk in the office you notice all the right equipment ready for exercising. Ryan Napeek, my PT, got to know me and fitted the exercises to my abilities. I really like the way he uses the ankle weights, the stretch bands, and the ball toss. Jordan, administrator, tossed the ball back and forth with me and I didn’t drop the ball. Ryan also had me do floor shuffles to test my balance. And you don’t need to worry about the intake; Jeff is obviously a good administrator. So thank you, Ryan, Jordan and Jeff for a truly heartfelt experience.

Fantastic experience: Andrew really listened, and adapted my exercises. The exercises matched what I could do at each stage of my recovery.

Fantastic experience: My therapist is knowledgeable, patient and I am getting positive results. Would recommend Andrew to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been very happy with the service and expertise of the staff at Select Physical Therapy in Berkeley. For me, an additional big plus is that I can ride my bike there and park it for free across the street at the big new parking lot. No need to lock it or worry about it. But, that aside, I came with specific needs related to arthritis and bursitis in my hip and have found the treatment to be very helpful. I also get printed sheets and emails that have videos of the exercises so it is easy to do them at home. In short, I have been very pleased with my experience at Select PT.

Fantastic experience: I was able to work with 2 therapists David Chan first and then Pardis Esmaeili and both of them helped me recover from my knee pain. They were both very knowledgeable and kind in their treatment. I was frustrated with the slow recovery but with their help I could see progress and now I finally feel fully recovered! Thank you both for your patience in working with me. The admin staff also care about your recovery and are efficient in scheduling appointments as needed. They also have an app which I used to track my assigned exercises (better than a paper that would get lost) and I was able to communicate through messages with the therapists. I really appreciate the care I received at Select PT and highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Select Physical Therapy is a very proffesional and friendly staff working there. Andrew Monteleone has been my physical therapist and I highly recommend him. He is very proffesional, kind, informative and easy to talk to. Good people working there. If you are looking for a nice environment and good customer service and good physical therapy care, choose Select Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: Andrew was very knowledgeable and experienced and has helped me recover from my injury.

Fantastic experience: Great environment. The PT's are helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would recommend Select PT to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Our family has had physical therapy at Select Physical Therapy for different injuries and we’ve been completely satisfied. They answer their phone (some places do not and when we’ve left messages we never get a callback), the sessions are one hour, other places only offer 1/2hr. We have found the space to be well lit, comfortable and clean, and the best part for us was our therapist Andrew Monteleone who is caring, professional, answers our emails, and we’ve enjoyed his wry and playful low-key sense of humor.

Fantastic experience: The staff there is amazing! They really focus on you and your needs to give you the best results! They have a positive attitude which really helps keep you focused. To be able to do normal activities without pain is a huge blessing.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and competent care. I can clearly see the result.

Fantastic experience: I was referred here for a shoulder / upper arm condition and Pardis has been terrific in diagnosing the problem and assigning appropriate exercises and routines to address it. My condition has already significantly improved, and the pain associated with it dramatically reduced, after just three visits and I am confident the problem will be all but gone after a few more sessions.

Fantastic experience: Excellent care. Andrew Monteleone knows thoroughly the health situation of his patients. For example, when he is having me improve my balance, he remembers the cause for my difficulties in this field (Ménière’s) while it is not the primary reason for my physical therapy (chronic back pain)! He taylors a plan that is doable at home and I look forward to exercise everyday.

Fantastic experience: Robin is an excellent Physical Therapist. The practice is very comfortable and the employees are very friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Gentle and patient therapist who gives clear, kind instruction with support and encouragement

Fantastic experience: very knowledgeable and passionate. great care and customer service

Fantastic experience: AJ helped get my full range of motion back over the course of ~6 sessions, treating a left shoulder injury. I'm now not cracking with every stretch and am nearly pain-free. The team was enjoyable to work with and I looked forward to going in for treatment, realizing at a certain point in consultation with AJ that I graduated to home exercises.

Fantastic experience: The team at Select PT were professional and very caring. I really felt that the plan they developed for me was very well thought out and individualized for my recovery. Andrew is one of the best physical therapists I've ever worked with and would recommend him and Select PT to any of my friends.

Fantastic experience: I am currently recovering from a severe midfoot injury known as a Lisfranc injury. (Google "worst foot injury possible," and all the results will be Lisfranc.) Following three surgeries and 2 1/2 months of not being allowed or able to walk, I was prescribed six weeks of physical therapy. Thus far, I have had three sessions with Kristin Overton at Select Physical Therapy. Everything about this center is outstanding: their efficient staff, their state-of-the-art equipment, their patient-friendly customer service. Kristin, who is also the center manager, is the jewel in the crown. She is a highly professional, very knowledgeable, warm, compassionate and patient physical therapist. Recovering from a serious injury is a painful and life-changing challenge, but Kristin has placed a positive face on the recovery experience. She quickly forms a friendly, trusting bond with her patients, offering support and encouragement through every stage of the session. Remarkably, I feel a significant improvement in my mobility, range of motion, strength, and endurance after just a week and a half, and I know that this is a direct result of her work. I highly encourage anyone who is in need of physical therapy and able to book treatment with Kristin, to do so.

Fantastic experience: The stretches and strengthening exercises have been very helpful -- my pain has decreased. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Six weeks into a new shoulder and Andrew and the crew at Select are doing a great job keeping me ahead of my doctor's expectations. Great job!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Flexible. Make the whole experience as smooth as it could be.

Fantastic experience: Physical therapists are fabulous! Attentive, patient and thorough. The receptionists are professional but a bit more warmth would be nice, lol.

Fantastic experience: Select Physical Therapy has restored my trust in physical therapists! I had an ACL repair 14 years ago and I only this year did I start having pain and mobility issues. Working with Andrew has been both challenging and rewarding- it has produced the results that I'm hoping for- less pain, more stability, more soccer and dance in my life. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Andrew is a great PT. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I have rec'd PT here a few times and none of my complaints still exist today. The folks are pros, and I'm back for a recent strain. I'm 77, but I expect a lot from my body, as I've experienced good recovery in the past. I have had three therapists, each time I returned I expected the same quality as before. I do my exercises as per the pages provided by the therapist, and I feel this is necessary for my recovery.

Fantastic experience: Andrew Monteleone is doing a great job with my PT!

Fantastic experience: Great team who listen well and adapt as needed. Excellent progress with my knee

Fantastic experience: This is my first time having physical therapy. I have found the team at select PT to be very efficient and warm. My therapist Kristin Overton is particularly knowledgeable, personable, and she provides very clear instructions. Best of all, I’m seeing results!

Fantastic experience: I really feel like they care about my therapy and improving here. They do a great job of checking in and changing pace with my needs. They were also quick to get in touch with and respond to my questions. The team is also fun and makes casual conversation with the patients, which makes it feel more personal and not at all like they are just seeing patients as numbers.
