Estando muy satisfecha del servicio recibido por ustedes Foothills Sports Medicine, muchísimas gracias !

Auggie has been such a huge help in my ACL/meniscus recovery(pre and post surgery ).I never feel rushed or that he is unapproachable. He cares a lot and pays attention to details. I can tell he's passionate about each patients' growth. He gives me reassurance about how much I can do and makes adjustments right away if something is too difficult.They tried to send me somewhere else after surgery and I said no thank you. I'll stay where I feel at home. All the staff is so welcoming and personable. 10/10 recommend.

I literally just finished 14 weeks of physical therapy & I can't say enough about my experience. Not only do u get results but the people actually care, you can see it their faces every session. I would like to thank Maria, Kevin, Auggie & their crew Eric, Eduardo, Beau, Eden, Abi, Andrew. All of you have helped me get ready for my up coming surgery. Thank you!

I AM SO THANKFUL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THIS TEAM'S EFFORTS AND CARE, BECAUSE THEY GAVE ME NEW HOPE AND LIFE BACK TO THIS AGING SENIOR FOR A HEALTHIER FUTURE DURING MY TWILIGHT YEARS.. THANK YOU SO MUCH❤️🙏😊
Background: survivor of double heart attack due to stress (heart failure), veinous insufficiency resulting in endemic and painful legs, loss of balance and steength in legs, knee, ankle and feet due to muscles which atrophied for five years. After suffering from numerous fall due to blackouts.. I was referred by my doctor to FOOTHILLS PT to regain my lower body strength and balance. I began in April and average two sessions a week until the third week of July this year. I'm proud and glad to say that I've achieve the goals set forth by kevin, my physical therapist, Steve is deputy, and the marvelous technicians who were all inspirational, caring and very supportive of my therapy.. I'm really appreciate their dedication, their care and commitment to my achieving the targets and goals set forth by kevin.
I since graduated ahead of the 30 session program that my insurance program thought I would need, and I'm now enrolled with VASA gym in order to continue on the foundation laid by FOOTHILLs physical therapy sessions.. since my sessions in April, I've lost 15 pounds, regain my flexibility strength and stamina with my lower body and even improved my core muscle groups.

I'm currently attending Foothills Pysical Therapy after having back surgery. Auggie has been very helpful with my therapy. He pushes me to complete some of the exercises that I don’t want to do and is professional. I'm grateful because I can feel myself getting stronger with each visit.

I’ve had an excellent experience at Foothills Sports Medicine.

Scheduling appointments was easy from the start, and they accepted my insurance without any complications. The facility itself is clean, modern, and honestly beautiful — and as far as I know, it’s the only physical therapy location in the Phoenix area with such a gorgeous view of the water. It makes a real difference in the overall atmosphere.

Most importantly, my physical therapist, Auggie Santamaria, has been outstanding. He is patient, kind, and incredibly attentive. It’s obvious that he truly cares about his patients and their progress. He brings a great depth of experience and created exercise routines that helped me heal quickly and completely eliminate my pain.

I’m deeply grateful for his guidance and support. This experience has made me an even stronger believer in the power of physical therapy and how transformative it can be in recovering from injury.

Highly recommend Auggie and the team at Foothills.

Absolutely wonderful staff & top notch care.

The physical therapy my mom receives from Auggie is excellent. He is professional, patient, and truly attentive to her needs. He takes the time to explain each exercise, makes sure she is comfortable, and genuinely cares about her progress. We have seen noticeable improvement, and my mom always feels encouraged and supported after each session. I highly recommend Auggie to anyone looking for high-quality physical therapy.

Thank you for the great service. My experience after surgery has been excellent — my physical therapist, Auggie, is a wonderful professional who truly cares about his patients. I appreciate the compassion and skill your team provided. Thank you so much for everything.

Auggie was spectacularly helpful in achieving the goals set on the initial appointment. The pain a had for months is totally gone. The exercises and manual treatment were very beneficial in reaching full recovery. For an 80+ old lady now I can walk like someone much younger. Extremely happy about the results.

Thank you for the great service I received from Foothills Sports Medicine, Metro Center location. Especially from my Physical Therapist, Auggie S. He came up with a great treatment plan to help with Balance and Strength Training, and with exercises to do at home, also. Looking for all the help I can get in fall prevention, and with his help, I feel more confident. Also, Rene, helping with my table stretches, and Maria with my appointment scheduling. C.

Worked with auggie. Helped me get through my tricep injury

Augie is a jewel… knowledgeable, gracious and helpful. He has helped me recover much of my agility and strength. At times we converse in either English or Spanish. I recommend him highly!

Auggie is an excellent physical therapist and helped me with my shoulder problems. I Highly recommend him!

I really enjoy going to PT at the Phoenix Location of Foothills Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine. The staff is very welcoming. Their efforts to keep everything clean and organized presents a professional environment. My therapist, Augie, is amazing. He asked several questions about my back issues and then did some stretching and pressure points on my back. When I stood up and walked around, all my pain was gone. After 15 years of seeing various therapists, he is the first therapist to use techniques that alleviated my pain. I am impressed with his knowledge and techniques. I would highly recommend him.
