Whether you live in Phoenix or are a a snow bird here for the winter like me…you could not find an entire team more invested in helping you achieve your goals to a healthier pain free state and getting back to enjoying an active life again.

I cannot recommend The Doctors of Physical Therapy – Scottsdale enough. The team is exceptionally knowledgeable, always staying current with the latest medical advancements, and they truly care about each patient’s well-being. What sets them apart is the personalized care: throughout my entire treatment, I work directly with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, rather than with in-training staff, which is often the norm at other clinics. This individualized attention makes a significant difference in the quality of care I receive and ensures I’m getting the best possible treatment every step of the way. So glad I found them!!!

I had pretty bad sciatic pain for about a year until I came here. I had tried home remedies and chiropractor visits beforehand, but nothing compared to the treatment I received here! Dr. Kevin was my primary doctor, but I also worked with Dr. Taylor, Dr. Tom, Beth, and Amber. I genuinely cannot write a good enough review for them. Dr. Kevin was able to realign me and teach me exactly why my body was hurting and how to correct it. He also created a realistic plan for me to implement at home so that if I was hurting at any point between appointments I could strengthen the area as well as realign myself! I truly thought that I would never be able to go on a road trip or a simple walk ever again without being in a lot of pain, but now I am pain free! Please do yourself a favor and come here. You will not be disappointed and you will see the results you hope for!

Had been looking for an amazing massage therapist and I found Jenn at DPT! Highly recommend, she does wonders and is a very caring person!

1738863181

I’ve been going to the doctors for 2-3 weeks now and want to tell how impressed I have been! I’ve been in the health and fitness industry for decades and have worked with PTs in 4 different cities. I so glad I found Dr Tom and his amazing group now that I hear in Scottsdale! They are so thorough with assessing your body to find out why you are having pain-and they continue to assess with each appointment to monitor your progress. I just am beyond impressed. It is truly a holistic approach for all you can get out of life!

1738782813

I have been dealing with activity triggered back pain for a decade and finally decided to have a professional look at it. I’m kicking myself for not doing this sooner. These guys are the real deal. They are extremely smart. You’re never made to feel like your pain is unimportant or it’s all in your head. Your goals are always kept in mind and they’ll make sure you get there. I look forward to every session.

2025 update - I'm returning to physical therapy for a nerve issue. Taylor was so helpful with my prior issue that it's hard for me to think of any other place to go to. Taylor and DPT are very knowledgeable, empathetic, and don't rest until they get to the bottom of whatever issue you have.

Jenn is amazing!! She knows her stuff and is very friendly! Makes you feel very comfortable. Her setting in the room is very nice and has THE BEST DEEP PRESSURE!! She is a kind soul and SO happy to have found her! ❤️

1737396718

The google reviews are real for this place! They do really take good care of their patients. From the front desk and to all the therapist. Dr. Tyler is awesome. He has been treating my knee and arm. They are so friendly and hospitable every time I visit. Dr. Tom creates that positive and caring environment. They just don’t treat the pain but get to the root cause. I even took advantage of the massage in house as well. They are so good my husband also started coming to get treated. Don’t look anywhere else for your physical therapy needs.

1736962357

I had a really bad case of patellofemoral syndrome in both knees, which left me unable to participate in any physical activities due to the intense pain.
After completing PT sessions and a comprehensive program with the amazing team at DPT, I’m excited to say that I am back to full health! I can now fully enjoy activities like running, playing tennis, and more! Their expertise, personalized care, and dedication made all the difference. Thank you, DPT!

1736949063

I can't recommend this physical therapy office enough! After sustaining a significant knee injury years ago, I tried therapy at another office but saw no improvement and assumed I’d never run, squat, or move the same way again. Reluctantly, I decided to give it one last shot—and I’m so glad I did. The team here took the time to truly understand my unique situation, perform detailed assessments, and educate me all throughout the process. Thanks to their expertise and care, I’ve made significant progress and am now running and squatting again. They’ve made all the difference!

Excellent

I HAD AIR IN MY HIPS. After my first two visits and daily exercises. I haven’t had that feeling in over 20 years. It was amazing. From
Front desk to each doctor to Dr. Tom the founder customer movement is their top priority! I recommend this program 💯 💯 percent!
Jacquelyn.

1735606885

The team here is amazing. I worked mostly with Taylor who took me from barely mobile to a place where I can lift weights squat, deadlifts and shoulder presses. The program made sense and wasn't too intensive with appointments. The whole team is great and Beth at the front desk is always warm and friendly. Great way to start the appointment. Thank you Drs, my 2025 is going to be happy thanks to your help!!!!!

I've been to other PT companies in the past. I don't feel like I ever had real resolutions to the issues I was dealing with. It always seemed like just a band aid. DPT is the most knowledgeable and professional group I've ever known. Taylor Day is a miracle worker. She really knows what she's doing. I've been told repeatedly by my chiropractor, that he really noticed the progress being made. I recommend DPT to everyone I know that needs help in this department. Love everyone there!

1734720282

Taylor is the best. After years of failed PT she quickly diagnosed and actually corrected my issues. I won't see anyone else.

The staff at DPT are awesome as well Helpful and so friendly.

1734710345

Awesome experience with the team at DPT from the front desk staff to the PTs. I’ve been dealing with a hamstring tendinopathy for half a year which wasn’t going away after repeated PT visits until I started working with the team here. They were able to diagnose the issue and put me on a treatment plan that has been extremely effective. Huge thanks to the DPT team!

1734664231

I’ve had such a great experience here. I was in so much pain and just walking was hard but after working with Dr. Taylor that’s no longer the case. This is the 4th place I’ve had physical therapy and it’s the only place I’ve had real progress.

1734644279

DPT is an amazing physical therapy spot. I had Taylor and she and the whole team really go above and beyond to make sure your concerns are listened to. They tried many different approaches for my ailment and were always available for questions. Definitely recommend!

1734574774

Everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable. They listen and take thorough measurements as they explain in easy to understand terms what is happening. I came to DPT after blowing out a disc in my lower back that was affecting my left hip. My wife and adult son both recommended them, as I was in a lot of pain. It was impossible for me to change positions in bed without the pain waking me up. With DPT’s guidance in conjunction with a pain management specialist, I am back to normal and able to enjoy my life again.

1734375464

Dr Tyler and everybody else on staff have been great in taking care of me in my journey to recovery!

1734331713

Months and months of physical therapy after 2 back surgeries got me to “functional”. However, I wasn’t living the active life that I wanted to. Within a few visits at DPT I had substantial improvement in my range of motion and mobility. They also gave me the mental fortitude to realize that I could get back to my goal of weight lifting and playing ice hockey; and I did!

1732233777

I have never been one to explore options like Physical Therapy, but with a push from my fiancée I decided to check it out for some chronic neck pain I've consistently dealt with. I needed to find a way to treat the reason why I have to sleep with a million pillows and take Aleve for my recurring neck pain. I am so glad I did! After only one hour of evaluation and exercises with Dr. Tom we unearthed some of the cause was actually in my hip! Before I left, I was able to touch not only my toes but the floor (which by the way I've NEVER been able to do!). I would have never found the cause of my pain on my own! I'm excited to see how much improvement I will continue to see over the 12 sessions he recommended. Thank you for giving me hope that I can be pain free and flexible in the new year!

Had many deep tissue massages that never provided the type of pain relief I was looking for. That has not been the case working with Jen Velez. Seen a great deal of pain relief, and mobility increases since our first session!

I’ve done enough physical therapy and chiropractors and this place is very different in their approach and execution. I will continue to recommend them to family, friends and my patients. Thank you!

1728066338

Love Dr. Tyler and Doctors of Physical Therapy. . They totally customize to your needs and get you on the road to recovery quickly! Highly recommend.

1727964469

I have been visiting DPT for over a year and a half now. Starting with Tom we developed a plan for my back and joint pain using exercises and stretching. I have worked with Tyler and Taylor as well during my journey, and I am grateful to everyone who works there for the help and support they provide to their clients. If you need to start somewhere on your pain or physical therapy journey I would highly recommend the team at DPT!

1727721706

Went in with running injuries and came out with a personalized plan to prevent them. Months later, I still do the same strength exercises given to me and I haven't had any issues running at all. Dr. Tyler and Dr. Taylor are awesome!

1727645622

I’m very impressed with all aspects of the Doctor’s of Physical Therapy in Scottsdale, AZ. From my very first visit to this very moment in time, I have been impressed with the genuine level of care given to me. Doctors Tom, Taylor, Tyler and Zachary are world class in the PT field and I wholeheartedly endorse the entire DPT experience.

1727305905

Being an aspiring professional athlete, I have worked with multiple physical therapists throughout time for different injuries, and bar none this has been the best experience I have had. My case has been handled in the best way possible exploring every avenue and pitfall necessary to get better. I like specifically the order of things and the technicality of what my injury is and where it stems from. The more you know about your injury the easier it is to heal and I think here I have found that. The whole team has been extremely friendly and helpful and supportive and I highly recommend this program for any physical therapy need and guidance!! It truly has been a great experience through and through. I have worked with Dr. Tyler specifically and he has been extremely honest with me about treatments and guidance and helping me get better. I think the honesty has been something I really appreciate here and there is very little fluff when it comes to treatment and no selling of treatment of any kind. It is purely how can we get you better in the fastest way possible.

1727195255

The Doctors of Physical Therapy is a true FIND! Words don’t do justice to how much they have done for me physically and mentally. As someone who loves movement and was confused and frustrated when my body was not able to function the way it used to, they were able to explain what was going on (right away) and help me through the process. Every time I come to the office I am greeted by people who feel like friends and leave with a deeper understanding of my body. They help you make progress, and make progress quickly. I can truly say the treatment at the doctors of physical therapy is unlike any other doctor I have been to, and I am grateful everyday to have found them. Every doctor at the office is amazing, but I am very grateful for Dr. Tyler - who always listens with care and makes me feel understood. Thank you to the doctors of physical therapy team! You all are amazing!!

1727120298

This is the best place to go when you have any type of pain or injury. I strained my lower back at gym. The Doctors of Physical Therapy helped me tremendously! The knowledge they taught me will help me prevent this type of injury in the future. I feel more confident going to the gym now. They will help you better than conventional physical therapy places. I tried one before coming here and was disappointed.
This place is a breathe of fresh air! The staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Tyler was excellent with my care plan. I highly recommend them!

1726712417

I have been so pleased with my experience with DPT! I had been referred to DPT after having severe nerve pain affect my daily living & had gone through a variety of specialists without finding a cause or a solution. From my initial evaluation, Dr. Tom was able to identify my hip misalignment that had never been evaluated or addressed prior. From there I was guided on movements and exercises (to do and to avoid) to correct my rotation & misalignment from Dr. Tyler to help alleviate my nerve pain. Each appointment I had with Dr. Tyler was hands on and always addressing how the assigned exercises made me feel to determine any adjustments along the way. He helped me with other areas of my body that had tightened and added exercises to address those areas as well. Dr. Tyler answered any and all questions I had through this process and set me up for success! I am having pain free days already and so happy to have had DPT help me get there!

1726676318

Cannot say enough about the incredible help and care I have received from Dr’s Tyler and Tom in helping me deal with tremendous sciatic and lower back pain. Walking in the front door of DPT nearly 3 months ago I could hardly put on my socks and shoes due to severe sciatica on my right side. Today, I bend over with ease and the sciatica is gone. Wow! No drugs or pain killers. A special callout to Dr Slim who is the ultimate professional clearly explaining what is causing the pain and how he recommends reducing it. An important note: be prepared to do the “at home” exercise program to take full advantage of the DPT approach to pain relief.

1725983666

I highly recommend Doctors of PT. After suffering with 10+ years of back pain and countless providers, Doctors of PT has been the only place that has been able to help me live a back pain-free life without surgery. All of the providers are friendly and detail-oriented. They are very thoughtful in their approach to treatment. They adjust and progress your treatment plan regularly. 10/10 recommend!

1725809100

No cookie-cutter one size fits all approach at The Doctors of Physical Therapy. You are unique and the team at DPT understands and respects that fact. Your functional journey begins with a thorough intake and consultation after which a customized program is crafted to help you heal, stabilize and grow. Their goal is to help you “live life now” and from the fantastic front office staff to the expertise of the individual therapists, they absolutely hit the target. Thank you DPT!!!

Came in with knee pain and the prospect of knee replacement. After working with the staff at DPT I am now able to hike again!

Great results! The pain in my upper leg is gone and flexibility has been restored. I will absolutely use DPT again if I need them!

1724721749

I've been doing physical therapy here for the past few months and have experienced dramatic changes to my knee pain. I was extremely impressed with this office since day 1. Dr. Tyler's evaluation was extremely comprehensive and educational. I had completed evaluations with other offices prior and their testing was not nearly as thorough. Dr. Tyler developed a plan that was very individualized and targeted to me and my body. Since starting PT in the beginning of July, I've not only been able to correct my imbalances, improve my flexibility, get rid of my knee pain, but get back on track to regaining my pre-injury strength and move my body without fear of pain. I worked with Dr. Tyler (and occasionally Dr. Zak) and I could not recommend them enough. They're so kind, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely care about making you feel better. They made me feel comfortable throughout my whole journey, made sure I understood what was causing my pain and why they recommended the exercises they did, and tailored my home exercise plan according to what best worked for me and my schedule. Everyone else that works in the office are also extremely pleasant. This is healthcare at it's very finest. Thank you, DPT!

I would give 10 stars if I could. I’ve had a back issues for nearly 40 years. It flares up, I go through rest, massage then therapy until it resolves only to repeat the cycle several times a year. Instead of treating the symptoms, DPT looked at the causes of my back pain and began a program of mobility and strengthening, which has, in a short period of time, made my back better than it’s ever been. Their knowledge, hands on treatment and can do attitude leave all my prior treatments in the dust. Quite simply, if you want to get better, go see the team at DPT!

1724091458

L4/L5 herniated and I had severe nerve pain down my leg. I tried everything to help the pain including physical therapy somewhere else but nothing helped. I had no choice but to schedule back surgery and luckily I was able to cancel surgery after two weeks of seeing a neurological chiropractor. After completing chiropractic treatments the severe pain was gone but I still had bad flare ups and some nerve pain left in my calf/hip. My pelvis was still slanted to one side and I had to move with caution. I couldn’t workout without hurting myself even more. I was skeptical when I started working with Tyler at DPT because physical therapy didn’t help me before but it was the best decision! I’m 100% better now and I’m back to working out without hurting myself. My pelvis is aligned and I’m in no pain at all anymore. Tyler really knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend DPT to anyone.

1724085255

The team at DPT has the highest level of care and always looking for creative ways to get you back to health.

1723768087

I have had a phenomenal experience at DPT. Being a personal trainer and competitive power lifter, I have worked with and sent many of my clients to numerous physical therapists. DPT is by far the best PT’s we have ever used. I had back pain that would have me debilitated on the floor for 5 + minutes after doing basic movements such as hip thrust or lunges. After 5 sessions with DPT, my back pain is pretty much gone and I’m squatting 405lbs again. Not only have they done wonders for me, but they have done wonders for all my clients as well. I will ALWAYS send my clients to DPT.

I was extremely reluctant to get shock wave treatment on my painful plantar fasciitis. Zach was extremely caring, patient and kind. He made sure to give a thorough explanation of what he was doing during each treatment. I had a series of 6 and I am so grateful that i am finally pain free. Zach provided excellent care and is very knowledgeable about how this treatment works. He was able to answer my myriad of questions. Zach tailored it to my level of tolerance and made sure to check in with me during the treatment. Thank you Zach. I appreciate your professionalism and your “bedside” manner.

1723480058

If you’re looking for great physical therapy this the place. I’ve been treated by Tyler and Taylor there an they are both amazing. They treat you with a plan that’s personalized and they help you understand what underlying issues you have then help you fix them. Would recommend to everyone.

Im a football player and ive injured myself multiple times. this place is AMAZING they have treated me perfectly i feel amazing.

1723155782

I’m 41 years old and 6 years ago I injured my back doing CrossFit. I bulged and tore my lower discs and was in daily plan. I tried everything, or so I thought. I went to corporate approved PT (which was useless, I felt like just a number), Stem Cell clinics, PRP clinics and then got desperate and started looking at surgery. Surgeons said I was too young and to just “deal with the pain”. Every time
I went to pick up my 2 year old I was so worried I was going to throw out my back and be down for days. At 41 I thought “was this my life now?”

I can’t tell you how lucky I am that I found them at DPT. My goal was simply to be able to pickup my Son and hold him and not walk around in daily pain.

From the time I walked in, I felt like I was heard. They spent 90 minutes (multiple doctors) asking me questions and truly listened to my background. I signed up for their 10 pack that had massage, EMTT and shockwave therapy.

My first visit I was skeptical walking in but after my first visit with Dr. Tyler my pain reduced from a 8 down to 2. Every visit there after I got better and better with a prescribed recovery plan.

I stand here today pain free and running my first 1/2 marathon in 3 weeks. Two months ago, walking to the mailbox was painful. I can’t thank them enough for giving my life back to at DPT.

For those with back pain, do a consult here, it changed my life and hopefully you’re as well.

They truly listen to your concerns, tailoring their approach to meet your individual needs. Their commitment to improving your well-being is evident in every interaction, making you feel valued and supported throughout your treatment. If you’re seeking a team that combines expertise with genuine compassion, look no further. This practice is a model of exceptional care and professionalism.
