Choice City Physical Therapy in Fort Collins is well-known for providing evidence-based functional physical therapy services for many different illnesses and injuries.
Have you been told by a previous healthcare provider that there is no more treatment available for you, or that you should just take muscle relaxants and rest, or that your back is beyond repair? We can help people of all ages get back to doing the activities they enjoy.
If the situations described above sound familiar to you, know that you have a choice and do not have to accept this as your fate. If you want to stay independent or increase your mobility and continue taking part in the activities you enjoy, we can help you reach those goals.
I visited Dr. Sam Fischer after I injured my foot while running a half marathon. He conducted some examinations on my hips, legs, and feet, examined my running shoes, and concluded that I had likely strained a joint in my foot instead of the stress fracture I was concerned about. He gave me some stretches to do to enhance movement in my hips and ankles. After performing the stretches for a few weeks, I'm almost totally free of pain. Aside from being knowledgeable, Sam was also friendly and easy to converse with.
For years, I have been struggling with chronic hip and back pain and have had only limited success with the physical therapists I have seen. However, after only one week of doing the exercises that Sam recommended, I am now able to sit with my legs crossed on the floor without any pain - something I haven't been able to do for a long time. He is very skilled at identifying my issue and providing me with the knowledge I need to resolve it.
I have had the great experience of being treated by Sam, a physical therapist in Fort Collins, and he is the best I have ever had. He is knowledgeable and evidence-based, and he puts in extra effort to help you. He has videos on his website to help those of us who are forgetful. He is able to explain why and how something is wrong and how to fix it. He is also very friendly and works with you. His treatment has helped me get back to running and biking, and I know that if I start hurting again, I can go back to him. He is an incredible therapist and I highly recommend him.
Over the years, I have had many physical therapists due to my 6 spinal fusions and 2 shoulder operations, but Dr. Sam is undoubtedly the best. His deep understanding and inventive approach to therapy have enabled me to comprehend the functioning of my body more than ever before. He also considers my restricted range of motion when devising exercises. If you are searching for an excellent physical therapist, I strongly suggest Choice City and Dr. Sam!
Choice City Physical Therapy: Reviews
Fantastic experience: On Monday, November 17th, I met with my provider, Sam Fischer for the first time. Right of way he made me feel comfortable and at home. I am looking forward to working with him.
Thank you immensely for sharing your positive experience with Sam! We're happy to know you felt at ease and comfortable. It's our goal to create a welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I found this clinic to very friendly, knowledgeable and truly committed to rehabilitating the client. Dr Sam was congenial and relatable and explained things so that a lay person could understand the situation. Appointments were easy to schedule and the wait time was negligible.
We're so grateful for your wonderful feedback and happy to hear about your experience! It's delightful to know Dr. Sam could make things clear and comfortable for you. Scheduling should always be stress-free, and we're so glad that was your experience. If you need anything else, feel free to contact us!
Fantastic experience: I started seeing Dr. Sam back in 2020 for lower back pain. I couldn't go over a speed bump without excruciating pain. He worked relentlessly to help me. If something didnt work we tried something else. He got me strong and feeling much better. But better wasnt good enough. So rather than sending me on my way to do little exercises that may or may not help he made phone calls on my behalf. He ended up recommending I ask my doctor about a simple procedure that I had never heard of. My doctor was grateful for his suggestion and I got the procedure done shortly after. I can now do pretty much anything without back pain. Without Dr. Sam and his tenacity I would still be in pain everyday. I am forever grateful.
Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring journey with us! We're delighted to know that Dr. Sam's dedication made such a positive impact on your life. It's always our goal to find effective solutions for our patients. Please feel free to reach out if you ever need anything else!

We truly appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to know you consider us the best PT around. We're so glad to have been able to help you. Don’t hesitate to visit us again if there's anything more we can do for you!
Fantastic experience: I've met many PTs because of my back pain. Dr. Sam is the only one who made it better and made me walk again without any pain. I especially appreciate him finding the root causes of this pain I've had in my entire life.
We are deeply grateful for your wonderful feedback! Knowing that Dr. Sam helped you feel good again is incredibly fulfilling for us. We're so pleased that you trusted us with your care and wish you continued health and wellness. Please reach out if there's ever anything else we can assist with!

Fantastic experience: I saw Sam for back pain, which has plagued me for many years. As a recently retired radiologist, I was very impressed that he was able to accurately read the MRI of my back and knew exactly what to focus on. He created a plan for me, which worked beautifully. I saw him over a year ago and continue to go through the exercises every morning immediately after getting out of bed. I am pain free to this day. He's a gem.
We truly appreciate hearing about your positive outcome with Sam and are so glad you're feeling great! It's wonderful you’ve continued the exercises with such dedication and see results every day. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we're excited that you're no longer in pain! Wishing you many more days of comfort and health.
Fantastic experience: Just another shout out to Sam and his gang. The best of the best.
Hi there! We’re genuinely grateful for your kind words and are so pleased to know that Sam’s personalized approach resonated with you. Your health journey is important to us, and we're always here to help. Thank you for choosing us!
Fantastic experience: One session and Sam worked wonders for my foot! My wife went there as well 2 years before me. It was on her recommendation that I go. Glad I actually listened to her this time!
We're so delighted to hear that Sam's session made a difference for your foot! It's fantastic to know that your wife had a great experience too, and we're thankful you gave us a try. Here's to many more days of feeling great! If you ever need us again, we're here for you.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience working with Sam…his videos of the exercises I needed to do were great, and his general approach of giving me a plan of what to do and how to progress that on my own vs coming in multiple times a week was perfect for me. I’d strongly recommend Choice City Physical Therapy to others!
Thank you immensely for your wonderful feedback, Carrie! It's delightful to know that Sam's approach and resources were just what you needed. Your kind words and recommendation truly motivate us to maintain our dedication to personalized care. We’re delighted to have had the chance to help with your recovery!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience after two hip replacements. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience, Pete! We're so happy you felt comfortable during your recovery journey with us. Your recommendation holds a special place in our hearts and inspires us to continue our commitment to excellent care. We're glad to be a part of your healing process!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Choice City PT. It is such a welcoming environment with a high level of professionalism that made me very comfortable throughout my treatment. Sam’s knowledge and experience were evident from the start, and the treatment plan he created for my ruptured quadriceps tendon was specific to my needs and most importantly achievable. Thank you for getting me moving around again - your encouragement & support made all the difference!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're overjoyed to know that Sam's expertise and dedication helped create an effective and personalized plan for you. It's great to see you're on the move again, and we're grateful to have been part of your recovery journey!
Fantastic experience: Sam is the best PT in the area by far. He doesn't just work by rote, he tries to figure out exactly what's going on. He also takes the time to show you on posters or illustrations and really talks it through so you understand. He would get 20 stars if that were an option. Highly recommended!!
We appreciate your kind words and are delighted to hear that Sam's attention to detail made a positive impact on your experience! It's wonderful to know he helped you understand every step of your journey. Your recommendation means a lot to us and motivates us to keep delivering exceptional care. Thank you for being a part of our community!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Choice City PT to all of our friends and family. Sam's ability to accurately diagnose my shoulder pain and create an effective therapy regimen has been second to none! And his video tools demonstrating various techniques is super helpful for recovery.
Thank you so much for recommending us, Steve! We're so pleased Sam's approach has made a difference in your recovery. It’s fantastic to know the video tools are benefiting your progress. We’re here to support you throughout your healing journey!
Fantastic experience: Sam has been absolutely amazing to work with. I've seen him for a variety of different issues - some very long-term aches and pains that I've had for years and some new ones that have popped up more recently. He always takes the time to listen, assess, and get to the root of what's going on and this has made ALL the difference to my recovery. Some of the injuries I've been dealing with for multiple years (and have seen multiple other PTs for) are actually starting to improve significantly for the first time ever! Before finding Sam I had resigned myself to just being someone who would always have knee and foot pain due to running. That's not the case anymore and I am finally feeling hopeful that these long-term challenges will be resolved for good. Very exciting! He is incredibly knowledgeable and does a great job explaining what's going on, how to address it, and what to expect as next steps so that you know exactly what to do at home/while training to improve your injuries and get back on the right track.
We're so delighted to hear about your progress with Sam! Your journey is truly inspiring, and we're grateful to be a part of it. It's fantastic to know that you're finding hope and relief after years of discomfort. We're always here cheering you on as you continue improving!
Fantastic experience: Sam is our go-to for any PT needs. He is very thorough in his initial evaluation, more so than the big orthopedic clinic in our area. You can tell he is extremely knowledgeable and enjoys what he does. I've referred him to a few friends and they have also been very satisfied and had good results. Thank you, Sam!
We truly appreciate your kind words and the trust you've placed in Sam for your PT care! It's wonderful to know that his dedication and expertise are making a positive difference for you and others. Thank you for recommending us, and we're excited to be part of your progress!
Fantastic experience: Easily the best PT I've been to. I've seen both Sam and Chris for a handful of sports injuries at this point, including knee, shoulder, hamstring, and forearm injuries, and have been very happy with the results each time. They are both thoughtful and methodical in pinpointing the cause of the issue, explaining it clearly, and setting me up with both short-term and long-term recovery plans. Cannot recommend this place enough.
Wow, what an amazing review, Jake! We’re delighted to hear that you’ve had such positive experiences with Sam and Chris. It's wonderful knowing that our personalized recovery plans are helping you. We're excited to continue supporting your recovery journey!
Fantastic experience: Sam has helped me on and off for a few years through some difficult times with shoulder problems – two rotator cuff surgeries and a shoulder replacement. Sam’s strong expertise and the care he put into helping me were essential parts of my sticking with my recovery and making progress even when things got disheartening, confusing and complicated. I told him one time “thanks for not giving up on me“. He just kept offering his insights/expertise and was creative and encouraging and helpful. I never felt rushed as he took the time to clearly understand what was going on and recommend the most effective treatment. I would come in with questions about other things going on with my body, and he patiently answered all my questions. Thanks Sam.
We sincerely appreciate your heartfelt words about your experience with Sam. It’s wonderful to know that his dedication and expertise were instrumental in your recovery journey. We’re here to support you whenever you need. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Dr. Sam is wonderful and very knowledgeable. I had a very complicated foot surgery. He understood it immediately and was able to explain it to me. He provided videos of the exercises I should do and changed those exercises often enough to keep me engaged and progressing in my recovery. I looked forward to my sessions with Dr. Sam. I have recommended him to many people all of whom were extremely satisfied.
Hi Kimberly, what an amazing review! We’re so pleased to hear Dr. Sam could assist you on your recovery journey. Providing you with helpful resources and keeping you motivated is what we strive for. Thank you for recommending us; your feedback is truly valuable!
Fantastic experience: After my rotator cuff reconstruction, I flipped a coin to pick a physical therapist. I could not have been luckier! Dr. Sam was thorough and kind. If I am in need of a physical therapist in the future, I'll go directly to Choice City PT!
Hi there! We really appreciate your wonderful review! It’s delightful to know you felt lucky and had a positive experience with Dr. Sam. We’re here whenever you need us, and we aim to always provide the best support possible.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Fischer is incredible. I can’t imagine where I would be without his expertise. I manage a complex condition and need regular PT as a part of my treatment plan. The gains I experienced while working with Choice City Physical Therapy exceeded my expectations. I’ve referred several friends to CCPT! If I could add ten stars here I would!
Wow, Hannah! We're really delighted by your wonderful feedback. It's amazing to hear that our services have made such a positive impact on your health journey. Thank you for your trust in us and for recommending CCPT to your friends. Wishing you all the best as you continue on this path!
Fantastic experience: I have visited Sam concerning several problems and have always been extremely pleased. I would highly recommend his services!
Thanks Dale - Appreciate the review. Glad we could help you out
Fantastic experience: I broke my shoulder when I took a spill hiking. I had several months of PT with Sam. He was great! Explained shoulder anatomy, how the injury impacted my shoulder and how PT exercises we did would help me regain strength and mobility. I can't say enough positive things about my experience. Would highly recommend to anyone in our Fort Collins community. Thanks Sam!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Barb! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Sam and the progress you've made in your recovery.

Our team is dedicated to providing the best care and support, and your recommendation means a lot to us. Keep up the great work with your exercises!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Choice City PT for years. Sam is super fantastic. He fixes all my PT issues! I hesitated to recommend him though, because I don't want Choice City PT to get so well-known that I can't get an appointment next time I need PT, but he deserves five stars--10 stars! Sam Fischer is the BEST!
Fantastic experience: I personally used Sam for some back issues, it was easy to book an appointment and Sam was great to work with. My husband was having some shoulder issues and I told him he needed to see Sam. He has been very pleased with his therapy with Sam. I highly recommend his office.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that both you and your husband had great experiences with Sam. It's our goal to provide easy booking and effective therapy to all our patients. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to continuing to help you both in the future!
Fantastic experience: Sam and Team at Choice City all went Above and Beyond to help me recover from Tennis-Related TFCC tear and Tennis Elbow. Also worked on Core Strengthening. I have attended several PT in the past. Sam was Far and Away the Best I have had. On the first visit he Quickly assessed my challenges and sport just by watching me walk. I was Impressed! I recommended Choice City without Reservation.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! I was rear ended in a car accident and experiencing terrible tension headaches, neck, shoulder and arm pain. Choice City Physical Therapy got me in within days compared to other locations being booked out for months!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Dr. Sam Fischer was very positive. He was patient and kind but pushed me gently to go past my self-imposed limitations because I was afraid of pain. He was very knowledgeable and extremely professional but also warm and personable. I cannot say enough good about him. UPDATE: The progress that I am seeing is very encouraging and uplifting to me. Dr. Sam is an incredibly gifted physical therapist and tailors his approach to each individual and their unique needs.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Sam for PT, he pushed me in rehab and I am better off because of it and a head of schedule. After knee replacement surgery I was back on my bike a few days shy 8 weeks. Sam helped me again after hp replacement surgery and again I am very happy with the results of the work we put in. Thanks Sam much appreciated.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled to hear about the great progress you've made. Your kind words about your therapist's dedication and expertise mean a lot to us. Wishing you continued health and success in your recovery journey!
Fantastic experience: I made meaningful progress on my Achilles repair rehab after surgery, with the help of Chris Munoz, my physical therapist, at Choice City Physical Therapy. I was only in Fort Collins for 3 month but we made the most of it.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear about your meaningful progress during your time at Choice City Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: I'm rehabbing a knee replacement and I so appreciate Dr. Sam Fischer and the environment in this office. Dr. Sam is not only knowledgeable but also has a keen intuitive sense of when to be gentle and when to push. I am getting stronger and gaining ROM after every visit. The office is chill with great music playing and fun trivia (both a good distraction from PT push pain). 10/10!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear that you're making great progress with your knee rehab. Dr. Sam and our team strive to provide a supportive and effective environment for recovery, so it's wonderful to know that you are enjoying the atmosphere and feeling stronger after each visit.

We appreciate your kind words and look forward to continuing to support her in achieving her goals.
Fantastic experience: Sam was very good in figuring out the issue I am having. He treated me for the condition. Also, he sent videos of the exercises, so I knew exactly what to do at home. Very impressed!!
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you found Sam's assessment and treatment effective and that the exercise videos were helpful. Your satisfaction and recovery are our top priorities. If there's anything else we can do for you, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you a swift and full recovery!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Sam. He is kind, knowledgeable and easy to get into.... it's nice to have someone in your corner. I have struggled with dizziness, eyesight issues and balance at the young age of 40. (I had been to doctors who put me on anxiety meds, ENT, balance specialists and a functional doctor.) Nobody could seem to figure out what was actually happening. Sam was the first to run many different tests on me to ensure there wasn't something bigger going on. He confirmed I had issues with the muscles on the back of my skull. I had been told previously that there was no connection between the neck and the symptoms I was having. (Frankly, I was starting to go crazy and even considered expensive scans to see what they could find.) Dr. Sam figured it out, showed me the anatomy of what was happening, gave me exercises and did dry needling.) It was such a relief. After a few sessions the agony I had for YEARS was gone. It was so nice to not only find the relief but understand the source so I could avoid my symptoms in the future. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the review Maggie! Glad we were able to help you out!
Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend. I had gone to a different PT before, and wasn't seeing results. It turns out I was misinformed about what the issue was. Sam not only was able to correctly identify the root cause of my issue, but also explained it to me patiently and clearly. I left feeling both incredibly empowered and hopeful that my chronic pain wasn't going to be chronic for long. He very clearly knows his stuff, and I trust him completely. He also sends follow-up videos of him doing the stretches/exercises after, so you don't have to remember the specifics. While I am now healed up and hope I don't have another issue that brings me back to PT, I am certain where I will be going if I do. (Here. I will be going here. Just in case that wasn't clear.)
Thanks for the shout out Emma! Glad we were able to get your some results and back to feeling a bit better!
Fantastic experience: Dr Sam is amazing. Really works to find the source of the pain and knows when to seek out others' advice or more testing (i.e. X-Rays or MRI) to ensure the therapy is going in the right direction. He is attentive to each patient and his ease of conversation makes the sessions feel more at home.
Thanks Dailene! Appreciate the kind words.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional PT office! Sam is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He takes time to make sure you understand what is happening and the results you are looking for at different stages of your recovery. Connection to an app is provided so you can review exercise videos/instructions and log your at home PT and keep Choice City updated on your progress. This office is not an office that has numerous people receiving therapy at the same time, it's a one-on-one experience. I am thrilled to have connected with Choice. I highly recommend them!
Thanks Paula! Appreciate the review!
Fantastic experience: I had a 3 level cervical disk fusion and was in complete desperation trying to recovery from surgery on medical leave. I could not move my right arm. I had seen several physical therapists and was on medications like gabapentin with no relief. I was basically losing my mind. But Dr Fischer had given me the right remedy. He is a genius when it comes to human physical anatomy and how all the muscles works together. With one assessment he was able to prescribe the proper exercises to strengthen the muscles in my neck and bring back flexibility. We worked for several months, 3 days a week, and that course of action has given me the strength and relief to have my life back. I gained confidence and know-how to understand the reality of my pain and that I have control over this by me exercising and doing the right physical therapy. Since then I have become a beast at 57 mountain biking, skiing, lifting, playing guitar in a band, and working at the computer for my job. I cannot thank him enough. He has also helped me put a new drive train on my mountain bike. Not saying that will provide that same service to everyone but he did for me. Again, it is not about the pills or hopelessness when it comes to pain. It is all about the muscle. You got to build muscle and flexibility as the true remedy for pain management. So let us all now get off the couch, put down the pain pills, call Dr. Fischer and start working out. Cheers!
Thanks Hal! Hey, somebody has got to keep the shred machine in tip top shape! Happy trails!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Fischer is very good. I went to see him after my previous physical therapist said that most of her patients would be happy with the results I had achieved and discharged me from more therapy. But I was hoping for a more complete recovery. Dr. Fischer helped me get what I think is the best possible recovery in my circumstances. He is very knowledgeable and is willing to work with someone with athletic goals rather than just functional ones. He is also very relatable and encourages me by telling me about his own relevant experiences. I will be going back to Dr. Fischer if I have any further need for physical therapy.
Thanks for the review David! Happy to hear you were pleased with your care.
Fantastic experience: Sam, at Choice City Physical Therapy, was recommended to me by a friend and I'm very glad I chose to work with him following my knee replacement surgery. I found Sam to be very knowledgeable in terms of leg anatomy and common post-operative knee issues, especially thorough with respect to examining and isolating the source of problems I was experiencing, and he was very creative in devising movements and exercises for treating and managing my issues. Not only that, but Sam is personable, friendly, competent, confident, and simply a good person to know and interact with. I would, without hesitation, recommend him to anyone seeking a good physical therapist. Tom S.
Thanks so much for the review. Glad to hear you were happy with how things turned out. Take care!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Sam is knowledgeable, professional, and personable. Knows his stuff and communicates information well. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much for the review!
Fantastic experience: The exercises recommended really helped and the causes of the problems I was having (pain in my lower bak) were clearly explained. For these reasons I was very pleased with the service I received. I would recommend, without hesitation, Choice City Physical Therapy.
Thanks Rutilio!
Fantastic experience: Sam was fantastic. I was a head of schedule
Thanks Jennifer!
Fantastic experience: My experience at Choice City is hands down the best PT experience I've ever had. It's hard to find a PT who really knows how to manage hypermobility and Sam has been wonderful. He's knowledgeable, patient, supportive, honest, listens well, explains things well (if you want), and has given me effective exercises/solutions adapted to my specific issues. Bonus - as a female patient going to a male provider...I'm not really sure of a better way to put this...he's blessedly, extremely, NOT creepy. 10/10 would recommend.
Thanks Katherine! Appreciate the shout out!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to three different physical therapists for my shoulder and this has to be the best one. Actually listens and adjusts your plan based on pain or results. I have had nothing but pain for the last 3 years in my neck and shoulder and I am so happy to be working on it here, FINALLY!!! I just got surgery on my shoulder and my orthopedist is very impressed with my progress. I definitely feel a change. Thank you for being so awesome!
Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Choice City Physical Therapy (therapist Sam Fischer)! I’m confident Sam “knows his stuff” when it comes to treating the whole person (nutrition, lifestyle, treatment, home exercise). He’s a good listener, patient and keeps me challenged. With the many PT options out there I feel fortunate to have found Choice City!
Thank you Roma. Appreciate the review. Glad you are doing well! Take care
Fantastic experience: Great Experience. I felt listened to and left feeling hopeful that my pain and mobility issues could be improved.
Fantastic experience: Sam truly cares and looks to find the root of the problem. Love the way he educates along the way! A M A Z I N G support..
Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: very cool guy listens well and ha also explanes thing well
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dr Sam Fischer. He asks great questions to understand your situation & then develops a custom PT program. This is my 2nd review as I have now completed by PT. Dr Fischer is OUTSTANDING. I have worked with numerous Drs & Dr Fischer is by far the best. You will not regret selecting him.
Thank you Debbie! Appreciate the kind words. Glad you did well and are back to enjoying things! Take care
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Fischer for one knee replacement three years ago and for both hips in 2024. Sam is very knowledgeable and can adapt his therapy to the client's particular needs. This is a huge benefit to the patients he sees. I cannot recommend him enough!
Thanks for the review DarkSTAR!! Take care of yourself! You did awesome!
Fantastic experience: Literally the best PT I’ve seen anywhere in the country. Back, knee, foot. Just excellent across multiple injuries.
Fantastic experience: Sam quickly determined my son needed to see an orthopedic doc and get an MRI based on his specific hip symptoms. He also listed some things that could be going on and the treatment scenarios for each. As a very worried mom, I really appreciated his expertise, kindness, and professionalism. Super easy to make an appointment online too!
Thanks Monica, appreciate the review. Hope everything goes well
Fantastic experience: A review by my wife: I completed my final physical therapy session at Choice City Physical Therapy with Dr Sam Fischer last week and am most satisfied with my progress toward returning to my normal routine. I found Sam to be personable, knowledgeable and professional as well as patient with me as I attempted to learn the various exercises that would improve the movements needed to eliminate the pain/discomfort in my right hip/leg. The videos he provided online were very helpful for that purpose, also. I can confidently recommend Choice City for anyone that might require physical therapy to correct a health problem and improve their quality of life. May 2024 Susan D
Thanks so much for the reivew!
Fantastic experience: It was wonderful meeting with Dr Sam Fischer. He listened patiently, paid attention, asked good questions, observed my movement closely, and took my concerns seriously. I feel like we have a clear understanding of what’s going on and a path forward to recovery! Update: I enjoyed my visits with Sam over the past few months. Not only did he get me all fixed up and back in action, he had a great sense of humor along the way! 10/10 recommend
Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable, comfortable, helpful. What more can a person ask for in a physical therapist?
Fantastic experience: I started in with Sam Fischer three days after my knee replacement surgery, and over the next two months his deep knowledge of the process of a knee replacement and what was needed to properly heal and regain natural movement in my knee brought me unprecedented healing and movement in that leg. With the movements, stretches and activities he included, I achieved 139 degree bend in my knee by my final treatment 9 weeks after surgery. He explained the source of every pain I was experiencing, along with targeted stretches and postures to relieve them. I had some physical therapy courses in college, and these gave me an appreciation of the education and training Sam underwent to earn his doctorate in physical therapy. I was deeply grateful to have a practitioner with impecable knowledge of the human body, its possibilities and limitations, and needs for healing. I'm due for a second knee replacement and have no qualms about it, knowing that Sam Fischer and Choice City Physical Therapy will be there for my recovery and rehabilitation.
Thank you so much Judith. Glad we were able to get you back up and moving. Enjoy the bike riding!
Fantastic experience: Dr Sam is a great guy and an amazing physical therapist. He has a great bedside manner and his facility has all the equipment needed to rehab and get back to it. I have gone to Sam several times and will continue to… as of the writing of this I am a current more than satisfied customer
Fantastic experience: I met Sam today for the first time. He was able to diagnos my issue and advise me with next steps. I will be using Sam in the future for any PT needs. Very personable and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: Sam was the 4th PT I saw for an injury that had been nagging me for the last 4+years. A week after the first session I felt 50% better. I'm now almost back to normal a few weeks later.
Fantastic experience: Great approach to care and demonstrates sincere concern for patients and outcomes. So glad I found this practice. Sam is great! If needed, will definitely come back!
Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough thank yous to Dr. Sam. I have struggled with IT band syndrome for way too long and finally went to him for it. After incorporating a few exercises into my daily routine, I have run my first long run in a long time without pain or a hobble. What a relief!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Sam has been great helping my daughter get through two separate ACL recoveries. He's personable, compassionate, provides tough love, and is incredibly considerate. It's not often your kid comes home from PT with a red face, sweaty hair, out of breath, and says she had so much fun. I recommend Dr. Sam any chance I get.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Sam Fischer is an absolute miracle worker! I am so thankful to him for helping me feel better and helping me to avoid double knee surgery!! Would recommend to anyone experiencing pain or physical limitation.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Fischer is great. He helps you first understand what is going on with your situation and then lays out a plan of how to get you back to feeling great again. He's great at distracting you from the pain you feel but also always there helping and making sure you're doing okay throughout the particular exercise you're doing. I will continue to go to Dr . Fischer for all my physical therapy needs.
Fantastic experience: During my first session Sam, he diagnosed my back and hip pain that had been plaguing me for 2.5 years. I recently had surgery, and Sam is helping me recover. Only good things to say about Choice City Physical Therapy!
Fantastic experience: I had a hip problem that had been bothering me for months. In one visit, Dr. Fischer diagnosed the problem and gave me a short series of exercises to improve mobility and eliminate the pain. After 3 days of following his advice, I’m pain-free and walking normally again. I’m delighted!
Fantastic experience: I had a really positive experience at Choice City Physical Therapy. Sam Fischer clearly knows what he is doing, and I felt like he really understood my injury and how to improve it!
Fantastic experience: Edit-I am now using Sam for my 4th injury. Nothing has changed besides I now consider him a friend. He is that awesome! Best PT in northern Colorado! I have gone to Sam for 2 different injuries, and can't give the guy enough praises. He is a miracle worker!
Fantastic experience: I am always impressed with Sam's in depth understanding of anatomy and body mechanics! Highly recommend for athletes wanting to stay in or get back to their sport
Fantastic experience: I searched out a physical therapist when medical doctors were unable to alleviate my foot pain. Dr. Fischer, whom I have have been seeing for over a year now, has helped me make significant gains in mobility, stability, and strength. I highly recommend (which I do quite often for family/friends) Dr. Fischer for any physical therapy needs.
Fantastic experience: Sam is the best! He is very knowledgeable about the human body and customizes a plan that is best for you. He is professional and friendly and treats you like an individual and not just a patient. He cares about you on a personal level and is truly the best physical therapist in the area. I’ve been going to Sam for years and there is nobody else I trust with my hip. His sense of humor and personal connection he makes with each patient set him apart. I won’t go anywhere else for any of my PT needs Thanks Sam for all you do.
Fantastic experience: Sam is amazing! Sam never lets me feel ashamed for my weight or overall deconditioning that have likely caused most of my injuries. I always have fun conversations with Sam during the exercises too.
Fantastic experience: Doctor Sam has been phenomenal at diagnosing the cause of various pain problems when I have used his services. Usually my problems are back related. Today it was muscle related. He listened and considered my symptoms and tested my responses. By doing so, he was able to determine what was causing my pain and gave me exercises to eliminate it. I have been to many physical therapists and chiropractors over the last twenty plus years prior to being referred to Dr. Sam by a friend (most of my problems are due to a back injury suffered in 1999). His ability to diagnose the problem is very exceptional as well as his ability to help me resolve the issue through additional appointments or exercises or a combination of both. I have referred others to him in the past and will definitely continue to do so. Audrey O
Fantastic experience: Dr Sam is great! Very knowledgeable, answers questions and helped me recover from a serious shoulder injury. Would recommend him to anyone needing PT.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Sam Fischer was excellent. In 1hr he helped me fix 15 years of pain! Super friendly, clear explanations and solutions.
Fantastic experience: Had knee surgery on August 4, unfortunately it was more than I expected. NO weight bearing on leg for 6 weeks! Found Sam 2 days after surgery. After my six weeks was up, I was able to walk on it.! Please see Sam for all your PT> Excellent! This was my #rd knee surgery& worse. I'm very familiar with PT. He's the Best!!!! Thank You SAM!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Sam is a very experienced and devotional PT practitioner. He has a very personal and customizable way of working with his clients. Sam created for me a challenging and very efficient exercise program (including homework). I am getting stronger and pain-free by the day. It means so much to me, who has RA for over 10 years. I feel fortunate to know and work on my health improvement with such a talented therapist like Sam. Besides, he has a great sense of humor, which makes your session a fun time. I am very grateful to you, Sam, for helping me achieve my personal goals!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough how much Sam helped me and educated me on how to prevent the injuries I came to him with. Full story: I had side pain every morning for months, went to several doctors and got several tests done, only to get contradictory conclusions . I am so glad I found Sam. He really took the time to understand what had happened and tried to figure out how to resolve it. He was able to identify the problem and know how to solve it when no one else could. Having the exercises and stretches on my phone, as well as helpful videos, made it super easy to follow my plan at home. He also found creative ways to make all the exercises doable at home. He also helped me with my rotator cuff. I had an injury years ago thay was resolved with PT at a site in California, but I reinjured it several months ago. After doing those exercises from the past, I saw very very little to no improvement. He was able to provide a significantly superior roadmap that has gotten me back to doing pull-ups pain free! Choice City Physical Therapy is the best!
Fantastic experience: Sam was able to accurately diagnose my problem in 10 minutes and provide me with exercises that have already helped relieve pain. Highly recommend, and I will be using him for any future needs!
Fantastic experience: I'm so lucky to have landed at Choice City PT! Absolutely amazing experience. He figured out the root of the problem in minutes and was able to completely eliminate my pain in just a few weeks. Charismatic, knowledgeable, and so friendly. Bonus - I was able to bring my 5 year old to the appointments and Dr. Sam was patient & wonderful with him. Highly recommend! & THANK YOU!
Fantastic experience: I broke my arm (crack in my shoulder) while skiing a couple of months ago. I had to wear an immobilizer for one month and had almost zero mobility after it was taken off. This was the first time I had ever broken a bone, and being unable to move it at all was terrifying and overwhelming. Sam helped me overcome these fears right after our first session! I felt better instantly, and noticed the difference in my arm almost right away. Sam would stretch my arm at the beginning of the session and had me complete a variety of exercises afterwards. After our sessions, Sam would provide a personalized stretch and workout routine that I could complete at home. After just a handful of sessions, I regained almost all mobility! Going to PT was truly the highlight of my week, not only because I knew I would feel better physically, but also because Sam is a great guy and we always had great conversations. I recommend Choice City 100%!
Fantastic experience: I am 72 and have chronic lower right back pain from scoliosis. I live in San Antonio TX and have great physical therapy there (Stratton Rehab). I visit Fort Collins and family for extended stays and found Choice City physical therapy and Sam last Autumn. Sam has given me new exercises which are fantastic! They are daily stretching and strengthening exercises which I find very beneficial. Choice City and Sam are extremely helpful for chronic pain, plus he is very personable, patient and I cannot say enough good things.
Fantastic experience: Sam Fischer is a great physical therapist. I felt very comfortable and confident that he would be able to help me with my knee injury. Within a couple days I was able to start walking and building strength on my leg. Super friendly and great environment to begin any physical therapy journey.
Fantastic experience: When I first came to see Dr. Sam I immediately felt at ease with the casual and friendly atmosphere. He came highly recommended and after one session it was clear why. Unlike other places I've gone for PT, I never felt rushed and it was apparent that Dr. Sam truly cares for his patients. You won't feel like a number or that some quota is trying to be met. I have arthritis in my neck and back, a bulged disc and multiple overuse injuries that've plagued me for many years. Thanks to Dr. Sam, I'm back at the gym and doing activities I thought I'd never perform again- I feel better than ever! Choice City is where to go for next level care...period.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic physical therapist. After seeing other PTs for years, Sam was the first to quickly diagnose my problem and give me practical and fast solutions that actually work. Appointments were easy to come by and response time was very quick. Sam is my new PT in the Fort Collins area and I can't recommend him more.
Thank you Ryan! Glad everything worked out and you're on the up and up! Cheers
Fantastic experience: I’m beyond happy to have found Choice City PT! I had a foot injury and was wearing a costly orthopedic boot. After seeing another more widespread PT, I was not only unhappy with the treatment but even more unhappy with the need to set up multiple future appointments. I was frustrated with not knowing if and when I could look forward to some relief from pain and be able to function and walk normally again. I relayed this to my doctor who then gave me Sams information. At my first visit Sam listened to everything. I said then proceeded to a thorough exam of my foot and pain. He then did some manipulations, gave me specific exercises and I literally walked out without the need of the dreaded boot! I had one more appointment after that and I was discharged. I am amazed and ecstatic to be on my feet all day, be able to wear my Chacos, and not be limping! If you’re reading this, you are likely looking for a good PT. Please do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Sam. He’ll fix you up, he’s affordable and just a neat guy to be around….and no, I’m not related to him in anyway.
Fantastic experience: Sam is a great PT. He's straightforward, thinks outside the box, clear with instructions, understands that sometimes you just need a good set of exercises to take home and do on your own--and other times maybe not. A good resource and practitioner.
Fantastic experience: Four years ago, I fell teaching step aerobics and, like any good fitness professional, I jumped right back up and kept going (I'm kidding, that was a bad choice). I have been dealing with hip pain ever since, and even went to PT two different times, with two different PTs for it. During the pandemic, I started to experience foot pain and was referred to PT for it. I decided to try Dr. Sam at Choice City because he happens to have an office near my house. I'm so lucky that I chose him. It turns out that my foot pain is directly associated with my hip pain. Dr. Sam asked me questions about my lifestyle and what I was hoping to get back to (for me, it's running). He designed a program that specifically addresses the function of my hip, calf, and foot during running. I ONLY ENDED UP HAVING TO GO TO PT THREE TIMES- that's right- three sessions, spread two weeks apart and I am nearly 100% pain free. I'm blown away. Other PTs treated me for months with no progress. I cannot recommend Choice City enough!! Go see Dr. Sam, you will not regret it- also, he's funny!
Fantastic experience: I had rotator cuff surgery and had almost no mobility when I started physical therapy. Under Sam's care, I'm making steady progress in mobility and strength. This surgery has a long recovery time, and I'm so happy with how far I've come. Sam explains what's causing the pain and lack of mobility, using diagrams and models to demonstrate--not just at the beginning, but ongoing as things change. Then he develops a program tailored to my needs, changing it often as I make progress, and explaining how each exercise helps me heal. He's made YouTube videos of the stretching and strengthening exercises, and I get a custom program texted to me with links to the videos in my program. Sam updates this as needed, too, based on my progress. He spends a full hour with patients so that each session includes comprehensive treatment and exercises. I can schedule and pay online, which is super convenient. And, to top it off, Sam is very funny and has great stories, which makes the time pass so quickly. I've had lots of physical therapy in my life, and Sam is the best PT ever.
Fantastic experience: I am extremely grateful to have found and been treated by Choice City PT. Dr. Fischer is effective and efficient with his work. I broke my ankle in 3 places and had 2 plates with 8 screws put in. The stiffness and lack of mobility in my leg was terrifying. Sam worked out all the stiffness behind my ankle, returned my flexibility and rebuilt the strength in my calf and ankle. He means what he does and it worked. I'm back to full mobility (as much as I can be with as much metal as I have now) and have returned to my running, rock climbing and even ballet! Thank you so much Choice City Physical Therapy!

Fantastic experience: I came in for shoulder pain. Dr. Sam evaluated me and with stretching, exercise, and STIM, I was pain free in the first week. I asked Sam to check out chronic knee and lower back pain I have had on my right side for years. He did, and figured out neither my knee nor my back was the problem, but my hip--who would've thought? I had previously been to 3 other physical therapy clinics, none of which diagnosed my hip. I thought it was something I just had to deal with. But, with Dr. Sam, just 2 weeks later of PT on my hip, both my knee and back felt great! I'm running and playing with my kids, pain free. Dr. Sam took care to explain what was happening in my body, using models and pictures when necessary, so I understood the process and eventual outcome. He listened when I said a certain exercise felt wierd or hurt and customized my treatment plan. If you have to go to physical therapy, choice city physical therapy is the way to go.
