I began therapy for degenerative lumbar discs and a painful hip. The PT session was very thorough and informative. After completing several exercises I already felt a difference in the way I walked, with much less pain. Dr. Borja displays professionalism and sincere compassion. Looking forward to completing my therapy and feeling very hopeful!

Excellent! My hip and sciatica pain were markedly reduced only after 30 minutes. I have had many PT experiences on various parts of my body, and I have never felt the relief of pain like I have experienced with Dr. Borja. I am very excited about further reduction of pain in my back and hip. I also look forward to using the exercise equipment at least 3 times per week to continue strengthening my muscles. Thank you Dr. Borja! Great Job!

The free seminar was super informative in educating me on the SOURCE of my back pain (which in my case is sciatica) and how it can be treated with physical therapy. After just one visit with Dr. Borja, the incredible staff of professionals prescribed me a physical therapy routine to address my sciatica and has dramatically reduced the pain to almost nothing in just one week! I would highly recommend Dr. Borja and his staff.

Dr. Alex did a fantastic job of diagnosing the source of my issue and working all aspects of the problem right from the source of the weakness. Becky (the PTA) was also great in progressing me slowly when needed and pushing me when I was able. I would highly recommend Dr. Alex and or Becky to anyone I know! Never going anywhere else for physical therapy in the future.

Alex was very interested in my situation and sounded on the phone sincere and seemed like he cared. I have seen him a few times and so far it is true. The staff is friendly and Alex gives me faith that I have hope to be moving around normally again which is what I need but he is also practical in the sense of no guarantees but hopeful.

I took my wife Judy Foon to see Dr. Alex Borja for an evaluation for her symptoms which include lower back pain caused by 3 herniated discs in her lumbar spine region which also causes sciatic pain from her left hip all the way down to her left knee. His methods were incredible. He did things to loosen up her muscles that I have never seen ever in my life, and he informed us that in physical therapy that before she might use any of the therapeutic machines, that she would have to do her exercises not just at the office but at home. I was led to Borja Physical Therapy from a post here on Facebook too. I read a comment from one of his patients, an older gentlemen, that had the same symptoms my wife was having. Before he went to Borja Physical Therapy, he had injections in his back, back surgery, and nothing helped. After going to Borja Physical Therapy, it was a miracle from God. He is now able to manage his pain and it's almost gone. I would recommend anyone reading this to make an appointment as soon as possible so you can be on your way to Therapy Solutions, not just Physical Problems.

I had a complete knee replacement on July 27. I have only had about four times but I have already seen a great relief of my pain. The pain has gone from a 7 to a 2. I am able to get better sleep and I now can walk without help. The staff is professional and the office is clean and quiet.

After completing 5 weeks of physical therapy for a back injury combined with a slight case of scoliosis, I can say that I am very thrilled with my experience at Borja Physical Therapy. I have had physical therapy before for a different issue and nothing can compare to the knowledge and warmth that Borja's staff provides. Although I have to continue exercises on my own to continue my progress, I feel fully capable to perform these exercises on a daily basis and am already seeing a difference in my pain level. I would recommend Borja Physical Therapy; especially for back related conditions.

I have only been in for a consultation. I was very impressed and hopeful. I start today. I have been to many clinics in the past. I will keep you posted on my progress.

I attended a free consultation with Dr. Borja. He provided me with some great tips. I have minor back pain and an inflammation in my elbows and and sore collar or upper back pain. He showed me exercises that can help me with my pain. Because at this time I don't have health insurance, he was responsive to my needs regardless. Hopefully, my health insurance will kick in soon so that I can continue seeing him. He's a great doctor and very responsive to your needs.

I was surfing Facebook an came across Dr Borja video and decided to sign up for his seminar. Well he called me and I cam in for an appointment an I was very impressed with the facility and most of all his knowledge and his ability to explain everything and most of understand. His staff is all so friendly as well. I look forward to be working to be coming pain free!

Today will be my second day going to Borja Pt. I recently had both my knees totally replaced, and Dr. Borja seemed very confident, that I can get my full function back. Office is very clean, nice, employees are very professional and very helpful. I look forward to getting back to 100 %

Dr. Borja was very patient with me, I am looking forward to work with him real soon. Even though this was an evaluation, I feel very comfortable with him and his staff. I will definitely recommend Borja Physical Therapy

I went into the clinic yesterday December 6th for a consultation. I must say I was very impressed as soon as I walked in the door. It's a very neat and clean environment and there people are very friendly. The therapist was very informative not pushy understanding my financial situation. He gave me a folder with everything he suggested for me and my problems. I'm hoping my insurance will cover this as I think this is a perfect place to get the relief that I need for my health issues. Thank you so much and I hope I will see you again soon. God bless

I went to Dr Borja because of shoulder pain. Dr Borja explained all of the things he did during my assessment and then described my treatment plan. I appreciate the time he spent explaining everything to me. I recommend Borja PT clinic to everyone that needs physical therapy. I have had other therapists that were not as thorough or as helpful. In fact, I am a nurse practitioner and I send my patients here too.

Awesome staff and treatment. Very attentive to your needs and they actually pay attention to what you're doing so you do the exercises correctly.

Great and friendly staff with a clean environment. Have been coming in for about a month for my shoulder pain and getting results although shoulder pain can be a long process but Alex at Borja has been helping me manage my pain. Looking forward to getting my shoulders back to normal and back to day to day activities. Thanks Alex.

Alex Borja is very easy to talk to and a genuine person in general. He is also very good at what he does. That combination is why I easily give him 5 stars. He helped me overcome a sports injury and get me back to 100% in what felt like no time at all.

I have tried everything to get rid of this sciatica pain but it was only getting worse. I'm on my 3rd session with Becky at Borja's PT and I have already been feeling less pain , much needed relief, and it gives me great hope. Thank you Becky & Dr. Borja !!!!! Martha Paz.

Attended my Evaluation meeting this week and decided Borja Physical Therapy & Weight Loss Clinic sounded like the right place for my therapy. I had my first session and feel confident that I made the right decision. Dr. Alex Borja was very informative, and had a gentle yet firm approach when working with me on stretches/exercises. I will provide an update as the weeks progress!

I've been suffering from a bulging disc and daily pain in my neck for 2 years. Today was my free consultation, and I was thoroughly impressed with Dr. Borja's explanation on how he would approach my care. He was very open about being unable to get me back to 100%, but he was confident that he could restore my range of motion and strength to at least 50% or better. Receiving such honesty from a medical professional is very refreshing, so much so, that I decided to attend the clinic for physical therapy!

My husband had been a patient of Alex Borja's in the past so I got to know both Dr. Alex and the lovely Jamie in the early days of their clinic. He'd had shoulder surgery and I took him to his PT appointments afterwards. Now it's my turn and there was no doubt in my mind that I would return to the clinic. I know they are much busier now and was very happy to see that their service remains the same... Personal, friendly and professional. I have yet to get to know the newer members of the team but look forward to doing so. I have every confidence that my arm will be good as new in time to hold my new grandson at the end of June.

Over the past few years when a Dr. recommended PT, Dr. Borja was the one I always went to. Currently a patient, great staff all around and Dr. Borja is the best among many I have dealt with.

Dr Alex and his crew are awesome! They are professional and super friendly...from the front desk to therapists, to the person assisting. They listen to you, put you at ease, focus on your care and how you feel during the entire process. It just feels so personalized....you are definitely not a number at Borja Physical Therapy!
