Ahwatukee – Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy Reviews

Staff are caring, friendly, and knowledgeable yet firm in their physical therapy, sports and individual training, as well as sports therapy. They really want to see you succeed and get better.

I can’t recommend Foothills Physical Therapy enough, especially Dr. Matt. After a car accident, I had tried chiropractic care without much success, but Dr. Matt’s approach was a game changer. He is incredibly caring, professional, and friendly—he took the time to listen, understand what I was going through, and created a plan that truly worked for me.

The whole team at Foothills is so positive and helpful, and the environment is welcoming and encouraging. Not only did I experience terrific outcomes physically, but Dr. Matt also gave me the guidance and confidence I needed to safely integrate back into normal daily life.

If you’re looking for thoughtful, effective care and a supportive environment, this is the place to go.

I highly recommend Foothills Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine. My physical therapist Matt was outstanding as were the staff members. We started each session reviewing the outcomes of the previous visit and designed the next session based on my feedback. I have had physical therapy at other locations in the Valley, and Foothills provided the most successful treatment.

I highly recommend Foothills Physical Therapy! Matt is great, and he significantly helped reduce my migraines. Even though they are usually pretty busy, it was never a problem finding a time for an appointment since they have extended hours. The receptionists are friendly and helpful, and the techs are attentive.

Great caring people work here.

My 2nd time working with Erica and she was spot on with her treatment! I followed what she prescribed to a “T” and my results were phenomenal! A VeryBig Thank You to Erica

Fantastic place for Physical Therapy. The whole staff is professional, caring and friendly! My PT was Erica Reali. Erica is the best Physical Therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Incredibly knowledgeable in her craft, friendly and helpful! I couldn’t recommend a better place other than Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy and Erica Reali!

Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy at 7707 W. DEER VALLEY DR. Provides excellent therapy care. I have been going there for a number of years, depending on my symptoms. I have arthritis and severe neck and back pains. The physical therapist, Stacey Scherzer is excellent! Staff are experienced, professional, and punctual. The front desk staff, floor staff & other therapist are very helpful. They work well together and are very respectful of your time. I have recommended this site to my family and friends.

Everyone from the receptionists to the therapists and aides are very kind and professional. You are always met with a welcome by name and a smile. Tony and Eric have been very helpful with my balance and strength issues. I have also been here after knee replacement and received great help getting back on two legs. I have recommend Foothills Sports Medicine to my friends and they, too have had great success here.

I am extremely grateful for the outstanding therapy sessions at Foothills Sports Medicine Therapy in Ahwatukee. The moment I walked through their doors I knew I was in the right place. They are all very professional and welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. I was introduced to Matthew Drapkin (Doctor of Physical Therapy) who took me back to one of the working tables and he asked me a variety of questions regarding my situation and gently manipulated my shoulder to determine what my range of motion was and what part was injured. He was very thorough. His assistant Kara walked me through the exercises that Matthew decided was best for my injury. Kara was very friendly and explained the exercises in detail before I started them. She made sure that I was doing them correctly as well. She also gave me a copy of the exercises so I could do them at home when I was not at therapy. I also was seen by Eric Lespron (Assistant Clinic Director) who also manipulated my shoulder to help with the healing process. I can’t thank the both of them enough. They definitely are well trained and know exactly what to do. My overall experience at the Foothills Sports Therapy was definitely positive and I would highly recommend anyone with an injury to be seen there. The entire atmosphere is professional, friendly and very accommodating.

Excellent service! And very personal! Matt and Patrick took excellent care of me!

Foothills Physical Therapy in Ahwatukee is by far the best physical therapy experience I have had. In the past I have been to other physical therapy places and have had several different therapists work on me, but none of them come close to Foothills in terms of the quality of people, the equipment and facilities. Matt, who worked on me, was certainly the most knowledgeable and competent physical therapist I have had. The other therapists there are also of similar high quality as they worked on me some days when Matt was not available. The place is very well organized and all the staff are well trained. Scheduling and payments are easy and efficient. All the staff working here including the therapists, assistants, and admin are friendly, professional and competent. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality care.

I had an incredible experience at Foothills Physical Therapy recovering from a complex ACL and meniscus surgery. I worked with Matt, who was an outstanding physical therapist throughout the entire process. He consistently asked for feedback about my concerns and needs, and tailored each session accordingly. His thoughtful approach, combined with the tools and encouragement he provided, made a huge difference in my recovery process and speed. The techs were also fantastic — they were uplifting and attentive, always helping me work through exercises during each appointment. I consistently felt heard, supported, and challenged in the right ways. Highly recommend Matt and the Foothills team to anyone navigating a difficult rehab journey!

The Foothills PT team is amazing, I recently injured my c5/c6 disc which resulted in impacting the nerves that control my left side/left arm. After 8 weeks of working with the team I was able to eliminate all pain, regain all my range of motion and flexibility. Absolutely recommend!!!

The staff is professional, friendly and helpful. This is my third post-op experience with Foothills PT with positive results each time. It’s the best.

I have had the most incredible experience with Auggie, he is so professional and devoted to his practice, and really cares about his patients. He looks for the cause to the problem and provides the best possible solution. I’ve been struggling for a year with foot pain and he has found the solution.

Matthew was Outstanding , very thorough and experienced and also a very nice and personable young man. Lauren also worked with me and I found her to be on top of things and was very eager to work on me. My right knee had been replaced , and is feeling 90 % better after 12 visits the month of March at Foothills Therapy. Jim.
