Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Nader is truly exceptional! My shoulder and back injuries are completely healed thanks to his expertise. He's incredibly knowledgeable and professional. For anyone seeking physical therapy or strength training, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Dr. Nader – you'll be glad you did!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Nader is extremely knowledgeable and professional! You can trust him to identify the underlying issue and to develop a treatment plan that works for you. He resolved a painful calf injury of mine after just one appointment. He has a sixth sense for knowing when to rest versus when to push clients harder. I’m going back again for treatment of nagging pain in the front of my shoulder (which I’d until now resigned myself to living with forever) because I’m so confident that Dr. Nader can properly identify the underlying issue and actually help me fix it. Dr. Nader finds a way to make appointments enjoyable and his practice includes all the latest tech/gadgets in sports medicine. DNA Physical Therapy is truly the best out there!!

Experiencia fantástica: DNA Physical Therapy is an absolute must for improvement and healing. Dr. Nader treated me for a chronic shoulder issue and his detailed intake process, both manual examination and his incisive questions, gave me great confidence in his skill as a clinician. He approached my discomfort and limitations with seriousness, though with an optimism and positivity that I have found other practitioners to lack. The holistic treatment plan he created addressed the source of my pain directly, and also included strengthening exercises for the whole shoulder girdle. After performing the prescribed exercises for a few weeks, not only am I able to sleep on my side again (yay!), but I have much reduced pain in overhead motions and I feel stronger and more aware of my body. I heartily recommend DNA Physical Therapy to my friends and family and trust Dr. Nader's significant expertise in keeping his patients as mobile and healthy as possible.

He takes time to understand your issue and prescribes a personalized, detailed and easy to follow solution to help you achieve your goals however big or small they may be. His professional and easy going demeanor helps bring the best out of yourself. He diligently monitors your progress and keeps you motivated to succeed.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Nader is an exceptional physical therapist who has continually improved my life. I initially saw him due to back pain that prevented me from running and playing tennis (or even walking!) He found the source of my pain, provided treatment that alleviated the pain, and created a personalized plan enabling me to return to the sports I love within a week. From the very first session, Dr. Nader was incredibly kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my recovery. His expertise and guidance have kept me on the courts and on the running trails, even when I overdo it and tweak an ankle or a calf…as I did recently. Dr. Nader was able to quickly diagnose my new injury and went to work with ultrasound and other therapies. He also provided a personalized stretching and strengthening program for these new problem areas…even for the long car ride I was about to go on. Within days, I was running again. I highly recommend Dr. Nader. He’s an athlete (former college swimmer) so he understands the obsessiveness of fellow athletes who want to be active. And as a woman, I feel that he is so respectful and easy to talk to possibly from being the only boy in his family growing-up with 3 sisters and wonderful parents. One of my sons is starting with him today, and my tennis pals and I recommend him all the time!!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Nader is the BEST! I would recommend him for any PT and any sort of physical training that you are looking for. With my experience Dr. Nader helped me with my injured knees after a Half Marathon, and an injury that occurred to my lower Ribs from weight lifting. He has extensive knowledge and amazing bed side manor. He made a specialized plan for me with stretches and work out movements to help me get back to full recovery. I could not be more grateful!

Experiencia fantástica: Nader is the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Nader is amazing! He’s helped me through multiple injuries with my shoulder, neck, and back. I told him I was really interested in getting back into strength training. He helped me feel confident and safe getting back into the gym without injuring myself again. He’s a stickler for technique and is knowledgeable with experience in fun apps! He has a private gym, so skills could translate back into my gym! I recommend him to anyone seeking physical therapy and strength training!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Amer is the best of his field. I used to suffer chronic shoulder pain after surgery, restricting me from performing certain movements. Dr. Amer has significantly improved my shoulder's range of motion and strength while transforming my overall posture. My pain level has drastically decreased. I'm immensely grateful for his expertise, patience, and attentive listening.

Experiencia fantástica: Genuinely pleased with my first visit. Nader was incredibly knowledgable and friendly. I am appreciative of his personalized care. He took ample time to understand my challenges and provided an in depth anysis of my symptoms. After 5 momths of constant discomfort and the belief I had "tennis elbow" I have now come to discover the pain stems from my shoulder. Nader's considerate approach, intentional instruction and resourceful post appointment follow up brought me confidence in my recovery. I will continue treatment with Nader because his services are personalized and I trust him.

Experiencia fantástica: Nader was a great help with an Achilles strain. After no real help from my Dr, he got me on a simple program that eliminated the pain and got me running again.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Nader is great. Very nice, professional, and helped me with my shoulder and back pain. I’d recommend to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Saw Dr. Amir for a shoulder injury. I really appreciate how he creates a tailored approach to my rehab and physical therapy. Follow up emails are super impressive with links to all the exercises. I’ve been super happy with the progress I’ve made so far and would recommend him to anyone dealing with an injury

Experiencia fantástica: I am extremely grateful to Dr. Amir. The level of care that I am receiving is incredible. Following his first assessment I received a detailed workout plan, videos included. I am recovering from spinal cord surgery that left me with severe nerve pain and difficulty standing straight. After 7 weeks I am walking straight without a brace or walker and have cut my pain medication down to half. I am delighted!

Experiencia fantástica: This review is long overdue! I have been working with Dr Amer since June 2022 as I was awaiting an ankle replacement. Within 2 months, he increased my range of motion by 50% in two directions and 100% in the other two. It is now July of 2023. Although my ankle is still deformed, I am pain free and continue to increase ROM and strength. I was able to ski hard in the backcountry for 40 days this winter, rock climb, swim and bike. He is not just a good PT, but super conscientious and cares deeply about his patients quality of life. He goes the extra mile in researching to fully understand our issues. Stay tuned for my next review after he fixes my latest minor ski injury :)

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Nader is great! He helped me recover from a torn calf muscle to running again without pain in just a few weeks! Highly recommend him

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Nader was fantastic! He ensured my comfort for the entire duration of the appointment and was very detail oriented. He was very knowledgeable and was able to adjust his methods based on my feedback, providing me personalized recovery instructions. I will certainly be heading back to Dr Nader and DNA Physical Therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had a terrific PT experience with Dr. Amer. This was one of my first experiences with PT and I had an injured foot/ankle. Dr. Amer was thoughtful and took his time at assessing the problem, and in each session we saw improvements. What I really appreciate is his willingness to take time and explain the problem and provide ways to improve, while in our sessions and things I can do at home. Dr. Amer is extremely professional and knowledgeable, and helps put you at ease during each session. If you’re looking for a PT, I can’t recommend Dr. Amer enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I suffered a pretty bad ankle injury 1 month prior to my first half marathon.I could barely walk up or down the stairs without significant pain. I saw Dr. Amer 2 days before the race and he worked on my ankle. I was impressed with his knowledge and attention to subtle detail which really allowed him to hone in on the trouble spots. He used several techniques including stretching, exercises, massage, ice and ultrasound… 2 days later, I ran my first half marathon. As a Physician myself, I can say without reservation that this dude is a Doctor of Doctors!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Nader has the most soothing energy & is extremely knowledgeable. Not only did he release my hips and shoulders but he gave me the best post bodywork high .. when you feel one hundred percent again … in both body and mind.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Amer has been diligent in trying to find the source of my pain. He’s constantly doing research and trying to educate me on it as well. He’s a good guy to be around and a great physical therapist. 5/5 would recommend

Experiencia fantástica: I had lots of upper back and neck issues from sitting at a desk all day. Occasionally I would have spasms and have trouble moving my head. Dr. Amer was able to remediate the issue through a combination of exercises, massage, and stretching. I have not had a back or neck issue since I’ve started therapy with him. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Amer provided my post-surgery physical therapy immediately following a knee reconstruction. I attribute my rapid and successful recovery to his early care and guidance. He took the time to assess my individual (and not typical) needs, and provided an effective and motivational rehabilitation plan during those early crucial weeks after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Nader Amer for the skill and care that he brings to his patients' needs.

Experiencia fantástica: I was planning on running a half marathon in Zion Natl Park when 7 weeks before the race I pulled my calf. I tried resting, massage, rolling, heat--you name it but my calf wouldn't get better. Desperatly, I reached out to Dr. Nader and he gave me lots of physical therapy homework to do. I did my due diligence and a week before the race my calf seemed a lot better. I decided to go through with the race knowing I could reinjure myself, but I ended up running injury free and placing 52 overall female out of 500 racers and 8th in my age group. Thanks so much Dr. Nader!!! I'll be contacting you for any future PT needs.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot recommend DNA Physical Therapy enough. Dr. Amer became a key member of my team in fighting glioblastoma grade 4. The effects of this brain tumor are very similar to a stroke and my entire left side shut down. Dr. Amer taught me to walk again. He also trained me to use my left hand again. His experience with cancer enabled him to diagnose a blood clot that if undetected could've been very dangerous. Being an athlete I related very well to Dr. Amer. He knew when to push me and when to let me rest. This was very important in keeping my Motivation high and frustration level low.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr.Amer Nader at DNA Physical Therapy treated my mom for shoulder and neck pain . He took the time to listen and to understand her case so he could help her feel better. He has a good personality and knowledge. I will definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Amer has provided me with the best physical therapy over the years. His business emulates what it means to provide patient centered care, providing individualized therapy plans and appropriate patient follow-up. He recently recommended a therapy regimen for my bursitis, that kept me up at night, and within a week I was no longer in pain. If you’re ever looking for a therapist who will listen and provide a treatment focused around mutual goals of care, then I highly recommend Dr. Amer.
