Mesa East Location

Reviews

I have seen a lot of success in a very short amount of time at the East Mesa location! An orthopedic surgeon had me in tears saying nothing could be done for my hands (ulnar deviation from RA) and since I’m still fairly young, this was devastating. Yet this team has not only given me hope, they have already helped my hands perform and look more normal! I have attached pictures to show how just 3 weeks has made such a difference! I’m actually excited for continuing my PT and can’t wait to see what happens next!

Brittany, Carlos and everyone at Desert Hand Therapy are wonderful. When I first got there, I wasn’t sure if I would ever regain normal use of my right arm after breaking it and having surgery on it. I have worked hard to get back to as normal as I can get and everyone there showed great patience and helped me to get back to 90% use. They encouraged me to work hard and were thrilled when I reached every milestone. Without everyone there, I don’t think I could have gotten to the place I am right now. Thank you all for being so kind and helping me to achieve my goal. I definitely would recommend Desert Hand Therapy to anyone who needs physical therapy. They are the best!!!!!

Today was my first visit for treatment of my injured wrist. I had a very good first impression. The staff were caring, informative and seemed well trained. The other patients seemed pleased with their care. The facility was clean and well organized. I look forward to my treatment and the restored use of my hand.

I’d like to thank Vaughn Bergeson and his staff for treating me with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. Due to a freak accident I spent almost 6 months in physical therapy trying to recovery from an elbow replacement injury. If I ever need therapy again I know I can get a dedicated crew at this location.

★★★★★

This locations professional staff and ability to treat the various injuries is beyond amazing. They are kind understanding and extremely helpful/supportive. I had a workplace injury in October and was fearful of my ability to recover my hand to its original functionality. Fortunately with the help from Dr. von and his excellent staff my hands recovery has surpassed my initial expectations. I couldn’t be more grateful for their help. Will recommend them every time.
