Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ko is fantastic! I worked with him for the majority of my recovery from lower back surgery and without a doubt he was a huge part of me getting back to playing golf, tennis and basketball. Recovery from back surgery can be challenging but Dr. Ko was so knowledgeable about the entire recovery process and tailored his plan for each session to exactly what aches and pains I was dealing with that particular week.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ko is extremely thorough and knowledgable and works diligently to identify the root of the problem. He takes the time to explain, and provides manageable follow-up to do at home. The aides are incredibly friendly and the office is beautifully maintained! I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I suffered a bad break and dislocation in my right ankle about 25 years ago. For a long time, it was okay, but as I got into my 40s, arthritis really started to set in. It got to the point in the past few years that I could barely walk a mile (running was out of the question) without limping and/or having deep discomfort. A surgeon I consulted with recommended I do physical therapy, but I was dubious that it would have any real effect. However, working with Dr. Ko helped me regain both mobility and some added durability. I don't think running marathons is in my near future (not that it ever really was), but I have been able to really improve my day-to-day life, and the instances where my ankle feels extremely weakened or painful have grown fewer and farther between. As the parent of a four-year-old, and an active person as well, this has been a real boon. Add to all this the fact that Dr. Ko has a great disposition, as does the office staff, and it really made for an incredibly positive experience working with them. I highly recommend their services!

Fantastic experience: I am very impressed with Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy! The staff was incredibly helpful in my recovery from a bacterial infection in my spine. I had terrible pain and low range of motion movement, but with Karine Yeterian's expert therapy, I was able to make a full rebounding recovery. The attention to care and consideration was superb! I would highly recommend Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy for anyone who needs to recapture their health and well-being. As I said, I especially credit Karine Yeterian for her knowledge and skilled expertise. I would not have recovered as quickly without her involvement.

Fantastic experience: Joseph S. Luk physical therapy makes physical therapy as pleasant as possible. From the moment you check-in, to the moment you leave, they fully accommodate you to the best of their abilities. Everyone is super knowledgeable and friendly, and makes your visit great. Dr. Ani is very nice and knows what she's doing! She has helped tremendously with the pain I was experiencing in my left arm. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone looking for great physical therapy services.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ko is phenomenal! I consider myself blessed to have had PT with him after my rotator cuff surgery. He went above and beyond during each treatment session. He was knowledgeable, down to earth , and caring. He listened to my needs and customized each treatment to ensure that he made a difference. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best PT in all of So Cal. I come here 2-3 times a week for the past 4-5 years. Luk Physical Therapy is the only PT that has helped me stay pain free. Dr. Luk and Ko are my main docs, but when they are not around, I have tried all the other docs and they are all wonderful. Very clean facility with a superb front desk team. What else could you ask for? If you are in pain, this is the place. I live a more joyful life because of Luk Physical Therapy. I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Michael Ko is amazing, professional , friendly and knowledgeable. He answer all of my questions and take his time to make sure you get the right treatment. I want to say he has magic hands! I remember the first day I went there with very bad shoulder and back pain, now , no pain at all . His staff are very nice and helpful too , especially Naire is awesome, she make’s scheduling easy. I had the best experience here . Thank you Dr. Ko and Joseph S. Luck physical Therapy team!

Fantastic experience: Have been going here since this summer to get a back/sciatica issue sorted. Love the staff - everyone is friendly, attentive, supportive and kind. The office itself is clean and bright (but it get's a little warm in there sometimes with the windows). Dr. Ani K. has been overseeing my care, and she is EXCELLENT! So lucky to have found her and to get treated by her. I've been progressing well, but couldn't do it without her knowledge, expertise and patience. She is such an asset to the practice, I hope they know what a gem they have.

Fantastic experience: What a fabulous facility! Dr. Ani was wonderful in helping me recover from a lower back injury. She is very in tuned with the body and was with my needs. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I saw Dr. Ko and he really helped me with my issue. He is very knowledgeable, listens to one’s concerns and is just a great person and physical therapist! The office is well run, never had any problems making appointments or paperwork issues or anything like that. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I received highly successful treatment from Dr. Michael Ko at Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy. Dr. Ko took great care in listening to me and assessing my problems. He then prescribed appropriate therapy and physical exercises. I was impressed with his friendly and professional manner, and, after only a few sessions, I experienced marked improvement in my range of motion and a significant reduction in pain.

Fantastic experience: I came in with really bad tension headaches that had kept me from enjoying a normal life. Thankfully Dr. Karina Yeterian and the team here came to my rescue and truly healed me (I was able to see great results within weeks!) Very knowledgeable and professional. I can't thank and recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Best physical therapy I have ever received. Staff are excellent and very knowledgeable. The environment is very friendly and calm. Dr. Michael Ko is a great physical therapist! He’s is by far the best therapist I ever had. I would highly recommend Dr. Michael Ko.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this practice on and off for over 10 years for different sports injuries. The doctors are great: very nice, take the time to explain any issues, etc. The support staff are great, too. Very friendly. Can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ko was an amazing physical therapist! He re-aligned my legs and now I can run and play basketball again. High recommended!

Fantastic experience: The professionalism was only out shined by the concern and care of the patient. One of the best customer experiences I OR anyone could have. Dr. Ko, specifically, is amazing in care but more importantly in listening and being curious in how to help. Title this review: "THE BEST"

Fantastic experience: The entire staff is wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable. They always were able to answer my questions and address all my concerns. Their method of treating me felt like it focused on the big picture of my health and not just one issue. I first arrived there with debilitating back pain, and left feeling so much better and with a plan to maintain my progress. I'm back to doing all the activities I was able to before the back pain and feel equipped to avoid that injury again in the future! I would recommend this place to everyone and should I ever need physical therapy again, I will absolutely go back!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ko is the best! He's helped me deal with my chronic back pain by working on it as well as prescribing the right exercises to strengthen the back. The staff is amazing too. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: As a repeat patient of Joseph Luk Physical Therapy, two separate knee surgeries, the care and attention given for me to succeed was amazing. Dr. Ko and his team (special thanks to Jairo) helped build a challenging but rewarding exercise regimen enabling me to surpass my previous distance running routines. In addition, their special attention to incorporating a variety of exercises and stretches have helped build (hip, knee, ankle) strength and avoid injuries. Lastly, the team’s personality and customer service was spot-on, I was comfortable with their staff and looked forward to my appointments.

Fantastic experience: Great place and very nice personnel! Dr Ko patiently worked with me and helped with my back pain. I am very grateful!

Fantastic experience: For the past four months, I have met regularly with Dr. Michael Ko, who has provided amazing physical therapy for my left shoulder. After tripping on a curb last year and landing on my shoulder, I was unable to hold my left arm straight out to my side without excruciating pain. Yesterday, I completed my final session with Dr. Ko, and am now able to move my left shoulder in all directions without any pain. I cannot say enough good things about the physical therapy provided to me by Dr. Ko and his well-trained assistants. Dr. Ko is a truly gifted physical therapist!

Fantastic experience: Such a great office! Dr. Ani Khachatoorians helped me so much with my hip, knee, and neck, and gave me the tools I need to manage my body pain in the future. The facility is clean and well maintained, and the whole staff is so kind and knowledgable. I always looked forward to coming in.

Fantastic experience: Had calf injury from soccer but after a month with Dr.Ko I was walking without a cane, and back to soccer in about 2 months total. TY!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ani Khachatoorians was laser focused towards identifying my aches and setting me up with a daily routine of stretches and exercises to eliminate my aches. She cured my tendentious is just over a month without the need of medication or pain killers. I am 100% satisfied with the service she provided and would recommend anyone to her who may be in need for physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: Problem: SI joint inflammation. Dr. Ko's hands on approach is very helpful. Prescribed post-treatment exercises focused on core strength & hip stability. Treatment schedule was reasonable, and frequency of appointments was reduced as the issue improved. PT assistants were focused & responsive. Office staff is professional & nice. Facility & equipment were great.

Fantastic experience: I spent years and years with knee weakness without understanding why; Michael Ko and his team addressed and resolved these issues in due time. I am now returning to sport activity as before. Thanks to all who work there; your hard work shows!

Fantastic experience: I came to Joseph Luk Physical Therapy for a shoulder injury. I was told by my orthopedic surgeon it had a 50/50 chance of responding positively to therapy and therefore not requiring surgery. I worked at JLPT with Dr. Ko who did a fantastic job. The entire staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Dr. Ko created a therapy plan specifically for me based on my shoulder needs and my goal of returning to judo. After 6 weeks I had a full recovery, did not need surgery and returned to judo training as I had hoped. All of this was thanks to the team at JLPT and Dr. Ko especially. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Joseph S. Luk Physical Therapy is great. I play soccer every week, year round. I have been to Dr. Ko for a severe ankle injury a few years ago and for a more general wear and tear injury more recently. Both times, the treatment I received got me back to the field quickly. Although my ankle injury was a serious one, I have not had any problems, despite other players stomping directly on it and the need to constantly twist it to change directions mid-run. For my more current overall lower extremity issues, he was able to identify the multiple issues and then adjust the focus and treatment as I improved so that each problem was addressed as needed. My treatment also varied to match any at-home overexertion on my part. The treatment was truly customized to my needs each week. I've been here for 2 injuries and will return the next time I need PT.

Fantastic experience: And as a long-time physical therapy patient due to various tendon, joint, and spinal issues, I’ve seen a multitude of therapists in Glendale over the past several years. So, I feel I’m pretty well qualified to offer an experienced opinion about the quality of treatment I’ve received at the office of Joseph Luk. It’s always anxiety provoking to choose a provider you don’t know anything about, so let me put your mind a ease. I’ve been seeing Dr. Michael Ko at Luk Physical Therapy for three months following my hip replacement surgery. I will never go anywhere else. Let’s start with the appointment scheduling and insurance process. My phone call with Ani to set-up everything was flawless. She was very friendly, knew exactly what to do, set my appointment quickly, and called me back as promised to verify the insurance information. Easy, efficient, and a pleasure to deal with. How refreshing. Win. The office itself is very easy to find, a very nice building on Central with underground parking. They validate for 45 minutes, but it can cost $3-5 more depending on how long your appointment runs. The 3rd floor office itself is extremely clean, new, modern, with lots of windows, and looks like a page out of Crate and Barrel. Did I say clean? I love it. Marina, the receptionist always greets me at the front desk with a warm hello, and knows me by name. She is always pleasant, friendly, and helpful and knows how to run payments. Win. My appointments always run on time. Waiting is never more than 5 minutes, if at all. They have 6, maybe 7, private exam rooms (with doors!) for treatment. Not flimsy curtains, thank you. The equipment is new and clean. The exercise area is spacious and laid out in organized fashion. Win. Now, the most important stuff. Dr. Ko is an extremely qualified, highly educated, and incredibly knowledgeable practitioner. I knew immediately from my first appointment that my sessions with him were going to be very different than ones I’ve experienced in the past with other providers. He reviewed my health history, discussed my goals, and answered my questions on what to expect with confidence. His manipulations to address my recovery are progressive. He is very thoughtful regarding my complaints, pain levels, and flexibility, and employs a variety of techniques to accommodate. I’ve improved after every session. Clearly, Dr. Ko is very good at what he does, and cares about his patients and their recovery. We review my status and goals during each appointment, making changes to exercises and treatments each time. Bonus, he has a great sense of humor. Win. The support staff. All of them were terrific. After my time with Dr. Ko, I go through a series of exercises with the therapist assistants (sorry, I don’t know their official title) -about another 30 minutes. Lauren, Simon, Mike, and Edwin. All very polite, personable, respectful, and professional, they all make sure I’m doing everything correctly, and they tolerate my jokes. Win. I’m still seeing Dr. Ko every few weeks to ensure I continue to improve (hip replacement surgery is sort of a big deal and recovery takes a long time). But, I know I am progressing and I trust him. So when the next joint breaks down, or after the next surgery, I know where I will go for my physical therapy. To the best.

Fantastic experience: I recently needed physical therapy for low back pain after giving birth. The therapists at Joseph S Luk Physical Therapy we’re very helpful in putting me back together again. Now, I feel normal again.

Fantastic experience: First time going to PT and everything about this practice was superb from customer service to treatment plan.

Fantastic experience: I received excellent care at Joseph S Luk Physical Therapy Center! Marina, at the front desk, checked us in, dealt with our insurance and gave us parking ticket stamps with a smile and a sweet greeting. Every exercise therapist was kind and knowledgeable and knew how to correctly teach the exercises that would help my shoulder. Dr. Koh was a true professional! He worked on my shoulder and increased my ROM while decreasing the pain I was experiencing! I would recommend Dr. Koh and the amazing staff whole-heartedly! Excellent service!

Fantastic experience: Game changer, life changer. Where other PTs falter and fail, Dr. Luk succeeds. Can’t thank him enough! Great group of professionals comprise his practice.

Fantastic experience: I've been receiving medical treatment here for the past year for low back pain. The drive is far for me but I make the drive because I feel I've gotten better results here than other places I've been to. They are very knowledgeable and nice whenever I walk through the door.

Fantastic experience: Professional, honest and driven to get you back to optimal health. Lucky to have found Dr. Luk and am looking forward to my weekly visits! Office staff and assistants are warm and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Place is typical husband/wife operation. The place is well staffed with assistants to ensure you are NOT waiting at all. Plenty of room in the lobby and the doctors are knowledgeable AND experienced (Doctorate from USC). Would recommend family and friends here as the staff are also personable.
