What Are Our Clients Saying About Us?
I could barely walk when I started treatment for a hip injury with Dr. Mike Blanco. Two months later I was feeling stronger than ever to tackle my fitness, sports and daily activities. I am grateful for the knowledge and approach of Dr. Mike and the overall care I received. My teenage athlete also saw Dr. Mike regularly to stay at peak performance and help with his weekly recovery as a competitive high school tennis player. I have sent dozens of friends and teens to Dr. Mike and everyone has been equally thrilled with their progress and treatment. Dr. Mike is also just an awesome all around human!

During this time, we were consistently impressed by his skill, sensitivity, dedication, and compassion. Mike is also an excellent communicator and his outstanding bedside manner always made us feel comfortable, motivated and supported during our individual treatment plans. In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend Mike Blanco as a Physical Therapist without reservation.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mike as a physical therapist. After undergoing a shoulder replacement, I had the privilege of working with Dr. Mike on my recovery journey, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this process. His expertise and diligent approach to physical therapy were immediately evident, but it was his empathy and genuine understanding that truly set him apart.
Dr. Mike not only provided a well-structured program that progressively strengthened my shoulder but also demonstrated remarkable patience and encouragement throughout each step. He tailored exercises to my needs, always ensuring I was comfortable and confident in my progress. The care he took to listen to my concerns, combined with his commitment to helping me achieve the best possible outcome, made a world of difference.
Thanks to Dr. Mike, I’ve regained strength and mobility beyond my expectations, and I’m truly grateful for the compassion and skill he brought to every session. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a physical therapist who combines professionalism with an exceptional level of care.
— Efrat M.
