What Our Community Is Saying
“Itamar and everyone at Foothills Sports Medicine was so friendly and knowledgeable. They helped me tremendously. I am forever grateful.”
Sarah L.
“I’ve had some injuries, but I didn’t want them to change my life. Itamar Stern at Foothills Sports Medicine showed me that my bike accident didn’t have to stop me. With his amazing help, it didn’t. Fast forward two years and he’s shown me that the shoulder I injured exercising, wasn’t a show stopper either, and his help isn’t limited to we folks over 60. When I’ve been at Foothills, I’ve seen young ballerinas and athletes; 30 somethings, tennis players and hikers; people recuperating from surgery. They’re all ages and the Foothills staff is also fantastic.
Jill M.
“My daughter has spent the last year and a half being treated by the wonderful Itamar Stern and his crack team. Her gymnastics career was saved by her therapy at Foothills after a major injury that prevents many gymnasts from ever competing again. Not only did my daughter recover, but she also recovered stronger, and she a full-ride gymnastics scholarship from an amazing college. The office is incredibly friendly, highly accommodating, and super convenient to visit. “
