Testimonials

"I've personally got to work with and learn along side Dr. Ro. I trust him and his clinical judgment with any type of musculoskeletal dysfunction. He is both personal and professional, he will cater your treatment to your individual goals and needs. Dr. Ro works incredibly hard in and out of the clinic. I don't know how he manages his time between being an outstanding family man and all star physio. I have no doubt that he will be able to help you achieve successful results! Don't hesitate to schedule with Dr. Ro. You will not regret it!"

Devin S.
"Dr. Ro is the best! The clarity and care you get here is next level. You leave here with complete understanding of your issue and feeling amazing."

Matthew C.
"Ro is an awesome physical therapist. He worked with me for a tear in my shoulder. Ro broke things down into simple terms so I could really understand what was going on in my shoulder and what I could do to strengthen the muscles around it. Ro puts a lot of time and care into each session allowing me to get all the benefits each time I see him. Highly recommend!!"

Gabriella P.
