Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation Center

Experiencia fantástica: I have had great results for my pelvic issues with PHRC, with Tiffany Ai Lan Vo and other PT’s there. The support staff is also very supportive, welcoming and competent in dealing with the insurance maze. Thank you Lisa Topete. I got excellent PT care, support and guidance there and highly recommend PHRC. I went to PHRC after a mountain biking accident and healing of my fractured pelvic bone. The scar tissue buildup was restricting my range of motion and made bike riding painful. After much research, I found PHRC as the only PT clinics in the North Bay providing both strengthening training and manual therapy. I’m completely past my injuries and in a better physical condition than before my fall accident.

Experiencia fantástica: Jillian did a wonderful job helping me recover lost core strength from childbirth and old injuries! I am grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend PHRC at Berkeley! When I first began working with Jillian, I was struggling with pain and mobility issues as a distance runner. She was able to empathize with me as a runner and helped build up my strength and flexibility. I'm currently running 30-50 miles a week and am preparing to run my first marathon -- and I could not have done it without her! Thanks Jillian!

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend the Pelvic Health & Rehabilitation Center. It has been the best experience I have had in finding help for my pelvic floor issue. My physical therapist, Summer Moss, is excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience at this facility , very helpful ,caring kind. Lisa and Jillian is a pleasure to work with. Thanks to both of them for their time helpfulness and support!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Summer Moss and the staff at PHRC are the best people. The check in staff is friendly, warm and easy to talk to, which sets you up with how easy it is to be treated by Dr. Moss. Dr. Moss explains everything very clearly, asks intelligent questions that never assume she knows the whole story before you answer. She is inventive in her solutions and always believes whole-heartedly that healing is possible. By doing the exercises she showed my in the office, along with her follow up emails detailing what we covered, I have been able to run without leaking for the first time in years. She also gave me the spark to actually run again, and it feels GREAT! Thanks Summer!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I was fortunate enough to receive treatment from Dr. Summer Moss, and I describe the experience as life-changing. As a male-identifying patient, I was initially hesitant about what treatment might entail, but Dr. Moss immediately made me feel comfortable and hopeful. She was incredibly attentive, knowledgable, and detail-oriented. After our first consultation she masterfully diagnosed and created a treatment plan for a number of issues that I was experiencing. Over the course of our time together, Dr. Moss went the extra-mile every session to comprehensively ensure that she was providing me with everything I needed to be successful. Following our last visit, I realized that my life had improved dramatically across several dimensions, both physical and mental. Dr. Moss helped me get back to living life to its fullest, and I'm forever grateful. For anyone facing a degraded quality of life around Pelvic Floor issues, I strongly recommend you make an appointment with Dr. Moss! You will be aligning yourself with an expert who has the wisdom and motivation to help you through any issues!

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend the Pelvic Health & Rehabilitation Center. Dr. Moss is incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and caring. She patiently and thoroughly answers all of my questions and provides many relevant scientific facts and resources, which I really appreciate. Thanks to her humor and calming demeanor, she makes a potentially awkward situation much more relaxed. I've learned a lot from every session and have seen noticeable improvements to my condition. The entire staff is super friendly and welcoming as well!

Experiencia fantástica: My OB-GYN referred me to Pelvic Health & Rehabilitation Center after experiencing debilitating pelvic pain during my menstrual cycle. I feel so grateful and thankful that Summer Moss was assigned as my pelvic floor therapist! She actively and thoughtfully listened to me. It felt like we were working together. Summer always made me feel that my perspective and questions mattered. The exercises that she taught me were so easy to physically do and incorporate into my day. After about a month, I was starting to feel positive results from our therapy sessions. Summer also empowered me to have deeper conversations with my OB-GYN to ensure that I was healing myself to the best of my ability. My pelvic floor therapy sessions have now come to an end, and I have the necessary tools for continued healing. Thank you, Summer, for changing my life for the better!

Experiencia fantástica: After more than two years with no pain management other than injections, Dr Summer Moss has provided me with techniques that do work. She is a great listener, caring, understanding, and gentle. I am happy I had a chance to be treated at this facility.

Experiencia negativa: Called to schedule a new patient appointment and when I asked about whether my insurance was accepted the receptionist said no and then was extremely rude and dismissive when I said I would prefer to find a practitioner that is fully covered. I would not recommend this center due to the lack of compassion and professionalism of the receptionist. I am sure the actual providers are wonderful but they need to provide some training to their scheduling staff about compassionate and empathetic patient care.

Experiencia fantástica: I had my first appointment today and I had a fantastic experience. I was seen by Melinda Fontaine and she was super knowledgeable, friendly, explained things thoroughly, a great listener and was very caring which was something I needed after all the things I’ve been through with my vulvodynia. She helped me realize some breakthroughs and gave me a lot of resources to help facilitate my healing journey. I recommend PHRC to anyone with pelvic floor dysfunction.

Experiencia fantástica: My name is John R. "Randy" Staneck and I would like to thank my Physical Therapist, Jillian Cerda Ramos, for...hhmmm?.... now how should I put this?..."Getting things back to normal" for me!!! Jillian is so professional and knowledgeable, but fun at the same time, which I believe helped with my rehabilitation. She explained the exercises so very clearly that we were able to achieve the desired results ahead of schedule! She is the greatest! Thank you Jillian!!! I also want to mention what a delightful receptionist Lisa is! Such a positive lady! Cheers, all !!!

Experiencia fantástica: You gave me hope. Dear God I need you

Experiencia fantástica: From the first call through my first patient visit everyone was professional and courteous.

Experiencia positiva: Called to make an appointment and they were rude from the beginning. I will be looking elsewhere.

Experiencia fantástica: I visited this center for my urology symptoms and Dr.Summer was very patiently and diligently going through the process of consultation and examination. She answered all my doubts and made sure I understood. She made me feel comfortable too. I really appreciate for everything this center and Doctor has offered me. Thank you to them for helping me face and tackle my issues.

Experiencia fantástica: Changed my life! Thank you so much Myrissa for providing me with priceless wisdom on my body and lifelong skills that I can use daily. Because of Myrissa I am able to life freely!

Experiencia fantástica: All the practitioners are fantastic to work with. I have been given the tools to stay on the healing path they helped me find.

Experiencia fantástica: Very caring, considerate and respectful, but above all effective and knowledgeable. They helped me solve my problem!

Experiencia fantástica: After a prostatectomy, I had constant pain and was completely incontinent. Within a very short time the major problems were under control. Fine tuning took awhile. Everyone who I came in contact with was friendly and helpful. Before I went to Pelvic Heath I did even know that I had a pelvic floor now I am in control of it.

Experiencia fantástica: Marissa is amazing. I was so hesitant to do this work, feeling uncomfortable about pelvic physical therapy, but she put me at ease and made it a comfortable experience. In addition, she has worked very hard to understand the details of my pain and discomfort, and has both educated me and given me many tools for self-care. I would highly recommend her and the Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation Center!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been seeing Maryssa, at Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation Center in Berkeley, for the past six months. She is a great physical therapist. She is very professional, skilled and extremely knowledgeable. She clearly explained my condition, needed therapies and potential lifestyle changes. We start a session clarifying what needs to be worked on and why, and I leave a session understanding what (also why and how) I can do for myself. Communication is a real strength. She is up-beat, positive and very easy to talk to. Pelvic floor therapy can be awkward and embarrassing at times. Maryssa has a great “bedside manner” and has made me feel comfortable from day one. I strongly recommend PHRC, the entire staff is great. And I absolutely couldn’t recommend Maryssa more highly.

Experiencia fantástica: I visited the Pelvic Health & Rehab Center after my second daughter’s birth resulted in some pelvic floor issues including a mild prolapse. The PT I worked with took great time and care in my assessment, education and treatment plan. I left feeling much better and encouraged that we could work together to remedy my issues I was experiencing. I am grateful for this establishment and their practitioners.

Experiencia fantástica: Going to PT here changed my life. Sigourney Cross was so helpful, patient and understanding. She took time to answer all my questions and never made me feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. Thank you for everything!

Experiencia fantástica: Lisa has a very thorough knowledge of various conditions that can be helped by physical therapy. I have had astonishing improvement for a condition I've had for many many years.

Experiencia fantástica: Therapist Lis is wonderful. Thoughtful, thorough, just lovely. I think things are getting better. I’ve only been in therapy a month or so so I will report back when it’s been more time. I would recommend this facility and this therapist to anyone. I’ve had some post partum issues and wish I hadn’t waited this long

Experiencia fantástica: They are very good and work hard to help you get better.

Experiencia fantástica: It is not what I expected, I have been amazed at how personal the care is and how much knowledge Maryissa has. I didn't think I would stick it out, but the experience has been great and I am making progress, to which I am very thankful. The staff is awesome too. I recommend them to anyone who has a need that they can help with, you will be in great hands and receive great care. Caspers hot dogs is only 4 blocks away, another plus.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing people as well as my results from physical therapy, my experience is with Melinda and great front office staff. It’s a relief to find answers to some long term ongoing problems and caring people as well.
