"Great experience. Brian is terrific."

"I began with Paul Gaspar within a year or so of him starting the business. And look what it has done now! It has been absolutely amazing. But the incredible part is how each of the patients are treated so individually. It is amazing. In every aspect of my body, I cannot imaging being treated any better in every way. And the staff in all places is absolutely amazing. And they sure do get the job done!"

"Great personnel and strategies for recovery"

"Truth be told, PT isn’t sexy. It’s doing things that don’t look like much and often are uncomfortable. That said, it’s hard to beat Brian Stone if you want to understand and break the cycle of injury/pain. He met me where I was and worked with me to find a way out. I continue to use the recommended stretching and strengthening regimen so I can walk and hike without pain."

""Brian is a top-tier therapist! He’s professional, kind, and goes above and beyond to explain the science behind the treatment. If you have concerns or questions, he’s the person to see.""

"Brian Stone is an outstanding physical therapist. He is knowledgeable, supportive, and helped me through a long and difficult recovery process. I saw him for another diagnosis and he did a great job with that too."

"Brian Stone is the best!!!!!! I had plantar fasciitis and we first did regular PT methods but then once I did the Shockwave Therapy OMG what a game changer! It took about 6 sessions and now I'm back to my regular self! I thought there was no hope for me but Shockwave therapy saved my life! Go to Gaspar and get Brian as your PT! I went from maybe even needing surgery to walking normally. I am a 35 year old female and try to stay active my whole life so having Plantar really bummed me out. If i get a flare up I'm coming back to Brian Stone!"

"Professional and relaxed atmosphere."

"I have had great results for my foot surgery , psoriatic arthritis and more. Still doing the exercises every one is so nice and helpful!"

"I have been receiving care at Camino Del Sur location, the staff is amazing, professional and caring. Spencer is awesome!!! My shoulder has been restored and my arm is Getting better all the time. I am very grateful to the entire crew."

"A great experience. After a fractured fibula and a huge sprain, I arrived on one foot and was able to walk again very quickly, thanks to Laura and the team. It's a small team that makes Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy a rather family-run but very efficient center. Thank you to the whole team and I wish you all the best for the future."

"Lina always greets me by name when I enter Gaspar. I see her behind the desk working hard throughout my visit. I would say Gaspar is lucky to have this young woman on its staff."

"I’ve been going to physical therapy on and off for a few years now for different body parts. This time I was referred to Gaspar in Carlsbad and I have to say they have the most friendly, Patient, helpful and informative women at the front desk i’ve ever encountered. My therapist, Allie Is absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable, gentle and listens to the issues that I may bring up. I can’t say enough about her thoroughness. She’s amazing!!! I highly recommend Gaspar Physical Therapy in Carlsbad."

"Aeriel at Gaspar is phenomenal!! She understood so much about my complex health issues outside of my PT. Kind, knowledgeable, professional and capable. I wish I had found her years ago. Thank you Gaspar for your wonderful care!!"

"Ivan has been great to work with and helped me out with both lower back and shoulder issues over the last year and a half. Staff is all friendly and welcoming and they are always happy to explain everything we are doing to me so I can better understand how my body works together and why we are doing certain exercises. Definitely recommend Gaspar and Ivan to anyone in need of PT."

"I was very happy with my rotator cuff therapy. What I thought would need surgery, just needed patience and diligent therapy and a will to succeed! My shoulder is back to 99% normal... very happy!!"

"I'm a septuagenarian. Never had physical therapy before. The staff was incredibly patient with me and my quirks. I'm still doing the shoulder exercises, and I have more range of motion with less pain in my shoulders. Thank you, Gaspar, for helping me get better."

"I have received treatment on two different times with excellent results.I have recommended Gaspar to friends.The thing I appreciate is their follow up with e mails for continuing home treatments.Great facilities and caring staff.Highly recommend"

"The Encinitas office of Gaspar DPT is very well run. Excellent facilities and always clean. The two PTs I have worked with have been outstanding in dealing with my issues. The staff members are competent and fun to work with. Paul runs a great shop in Encinitas and a great overall company. I highy recommend Gaspar. I have been treated at the office for about three years for shoulder, knee and walking issues."

"It's a pleasant and fun environment. Staff are professional and effective BIG TIME!! I'm feeling so much better because of staff ability to address my issues. This is a place you'll enjoy"

"This is my second go around at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy and I couldn't have higher praise. I am currently working with David on what was a very debilitating right foot tendonitis. (My last issue was a severe lower back issue that totally resolved). David is very knowledgeable, professional, easy to understand and supportive - We are getting great results with the therapy David has me doing in house, and with the easy to follow at home exercises in between my days at Gaspar's. I am surfing and running again - my pain is almost down to nothing. 10 out of 10 Stars from me! Seth Alderton, RN"

"Great experience. All therapists highly competent, good communicators, and got good results."

"Last spring, I called at the last minute on a friday afternoon to have someone do the Epley on my Positional Vertigo and they were kind enough to get me in. Saved my weekend and the vertigo and nausea were gone the next morning. Thank you thank you thank you."

"This place is a great place for Physical Therapy"

"My therapist was amazing, and i felt better under their care! I also learned how to manage my pain with exercises."

"Best PT in North County. Wish I'd tried them first. Dr. Susan Sange is excellent!"

"Dr. Anady is a miracle. I hurt my shoulder after slipping and catching my weight at a bad angle; for months, I had hourly pain when I would move it the wrong way. After just a few appointments with the crew at Gaspar, I regained a lot of the missing strength. The pain nearly vanished, and I was sure I was going to need surgery beforehand....NOPE. They were fantastic the whole time. Can't recommend enough."

"I am a returning patient because previously I had had a good experience with the staff and my therapist, Laura Knox DPT. I received on my returning initial evaluation with Dr. Knox a thorough exam and well thought out initial approach. The PT assistants were excellent and home exercises clearly explained. The front desk staff were pleasant and efficient. I could not ask or expect any better treatment than I received. Thank you"

"Ivan is super. He listens to his patient, asks pointed questions, and alters his treatments accordingly. And the desk ladies are most helpful and welcoming."

"I had a very bad herniated disk with drop foot, not good. After a few months at Gaspar PT I no longer had drop foot and I regained strength in my back. I love the staff at the front desk and my physical therapist Sara was wonderful. I don’t know what I would have done without her terrific help."

"Been to many pt offices. By far the friendliest most knowledgeable and attention to your issues and what you have to say"

"I have been receiving wonderful Physical Therapy since my cervical spine surgery. "

"I have severe scoliosis and am recovering from spinal surgery. My surgeon's office recommended Gasper Doctors of Physical Therapy to encourage healing. Brian Stone at Gasper has done an excellent job with manual therapy, selection of exercises and overall supervision of my therapy. His assistants, without exception, know what to do and how to do it. The atmosphere, including office staff, is very welcoming. I have also had several positive experiences with Gasper in the past and was impressed with their quality of care. I strongly recommend them with a rating of 5 stars. "

"Laura is a very professional therapist and has been helping me with stretches and exercises. In just 5 sessions I see a lot of improvement !!

"I went to the facility on Metropolitan I really enjoyed the experience and improved reducing the pain and increasing range of motion."

"Brian was so thorough and so patient answering all my questions. I didn't require further treatment at the clinic, but was given an excellent routine to use at home which hit the spot! I would definitely recommend this office."

"My therapist, Laura, is extremely good at what she does. She works with me and my body's needs, to modify any exercise to aid in my recovery. She's thorough with her exams and tests and challenges me to do more and try things in a different way so that I keep up with strengthening myself."

"I was really happy with my Doctor, Sarah! She was really caring, and thorough, and modified my treatment as my injury healed over time. They took into consideration my needs and desires as they developed the home exercises. I have been feeling much better since about 2-weeks into PT, and now I am at a month and about to “graduate out” of treatment! I will miss PT! I enjoy it, and additionally, the assistants who help with exercises are so engaging and make the challenge of doing exercises fun!!"

"I have been going to this physical center for sciatica issues and again for rehab after I had a surgery for when the neck of my femur was broken after a fall. Ivan has been an outstanding therapist who listens carefully to my feedback and adjusts the program based on that. He is very through and clearly explains the exercise and therapy protocols. He is supported by an excellent team of individuals, all of whom are very caring, attentive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend that you go to this location for your physical therapy needs."

"Staff is very personable, responsive and positive. I appreciate the caliber of their work!"

"I have been to numerous other PT companies but never received the results I have at Gaspar. Laura Knox was awesome. She identified muscles that I didn’t realize were causing me so much pain. With manipulation and exercises I am now pain free and stronger. The entire team at Gaspar are priceless. I feel much more positive about an upcoming knee surgery knowing Gaspar will be there to not only to help me recover but excel."

"Sarah and Arjun did a fantastic job accelerating my recovery from both bypass surgery and an ankle injury. -Extremely competent and personable -Highly recommend them"

"This physical therapy practice is friendly, professional, and well organized. Aeriel and staff have been very helpful in my recovery."

"Summer makes her clients feel like she really cares about their well-being and improvement. First class care."

"This was place was more than just physical therapy. This place was a culture full of people who truly want to see you heal and find the best way that works for you. The receptionists Renee and Angie were the friendliest and nicest way to start your day. Brian Stone emulates who you would want to get you through the “I don’t know if I can make it to PT today” type feelings you would have needing to go twice a week. The staff really listens to you as they apply it to your recovery. They are very creative with ways in which you can build strength and return to “normal.” As much as they are there for you, you need to respect the recommended “at-home” PT or your recovery may be prolonged. I am forever grateful for Brian and his staff and am sad to say I have “graduated PT” just because I don’t get to see them on a weekly basis!"

"Great knowledge and treatment for the.. freaked out cardiac patient !! Forget the rest they are the best."

"Ali and Lindsay are phenomenal therapists. They have been a tremendous help for me post surgery. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of a physical therapist."

"Sarah Polvere is the best! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and caring. Highly recommended! "

"Because of my low back pain, I have been to more than 15 PTs, chiros, specialists, acupuncturists, etc. Ivan was the only one who really cared about my issue and tried to customized the healing process just for me. He is extremely knowledgeable and cares about your issues. My injury is not completely resolved. But no matter what happens next, I really appreciate his efforts. For the first time in a while I felt that my issue is prioritized over anything else like the money, payments, etc and i have been treated like a patient, not a customer."

"Gaspar at Bressi Ranch in Carlsbad has been phenomenal! Highly recommend for athletes trying to recover from pulled hamstring, osgoodslatters, jumpers knee , knee pain .... I'm so happy to have found Brian Stone for my young athletes. They love going to Brian. All the people there are wonderful with youth/teens. Brian has great bed side manners, connects so well with young athletes, and most importantly is very knowledgeable and takes time to help them to learn what to do to heal. My older athlete is completely recovered and my younger teen is on her way to a speedy recovery. I can't recommend Brian and the doctors at Gaspar highly enough. The entire staff there are great and have a welcoming environment."

"Friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely concerned for my well being and recovery, Dr Gaspar and Eddie were excellent. I strongly recommend Gaspar Physical Therapy."

"I have been treated by a number of physical therapy groups at various locations due to injuries and physical disabilities.

My knee replacement was in Jan 2023 and I just got back from a surfing trip in Hawaii..no issues and back surfing full time..Many thanks to the PT team!"

"After years of disappointment with numerous PT places we found Gaspar. We’ve been patients here on and off for the past four years and have never had a bad experience. The therapists we’ve encountered listen to us and work cooperatively and creatively to help us, as individuals, get the best possible results. Highly satisfactory."

"I feel very fortunate that I was recommended to Brian by my podiatrist as I had an injury that needed careful monitoring. I am receiving excellent, attentive care and looking forward to being able to walk comfortably after 12 physical treatments. If you ever had any doubts or fears about which Physical Therapist to see - feel very confident and lucky if you are put in Brian's care, like I was by my podiatrist!"

I would highly recommend Ivan to anyone in need of physical therapy."

"Laura is exemplary. She is knowledgeable, skilled and personable. Laura quickly found that I had muscle strength imbalance and lack of range of motion. She started me on specific exercises, stretches, and applied hands on treatments which relieved pain quickly allowing me to progress and heal. The results have been remarkable. I highly recommend Laura and Gaspar."

"Excellent doctors. Great customer service. Highly recommend"

"The care I received was awesome. My first encounter with physical therapy years ago left me a bit jaded. I felt like I was rushed through the process just to get me in and out the door with as little effort as possible. But the care I received form Brian and the staff at Gaspar made me a believer. I have total confidence in their abilities and wouldn't hesitate to refer my friends and family"

"Kyler is very knowledgable and experienced in physical therapy. He introduced me to an exercise program which really helped relieve my mid-back pain; it's now much improved. He is good at explaining the reason(s) for various treatment options, and keeps his patients involved in the process with periodic progress updates. In addition, Kyler is a good communicator and has a positive, friendly personality. "

"I highly recommend Gaspar Bressi Ranch for anyone experiencing lower back pain. Ivan was exceptional in his approach and helped me overcome the extreme pain in just a few weeks. He took the time to thoroughly diagnose and explain the root cause of the pain, and provided me with protocols to address those issues through targeted exercises. His deep understanding of biomechanics made all the difference in my recovery. I couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention I received from everyone at Gaspar."

The place is nice, “ relaxing”, clean, not a large one but just perfect at least for me. One hour at the time with my PT really helps me to get back to track and health !"

"Physical pain affects quality of life, mindfulness and attitude, all of which often overlap other health concerns. This is something the staff at Gaspar recognizes by caring for the whole person. Whatever need you walk in the door with they listen, assess and care! Dealing with migraine, my life was affected daily with these attacks. Until working with Ivan I didn’t even realize how many layers of my story needed healing. I could barely walk up the stairs in my home without vertigo. Fatigue, anemia, tinnitus, nausea all led to borderline depression. His experience with physical therapy is phenomenal and the kindness in his treatments have encouraged me to work hard in my determination to be well again! You can be treated anywhere, but at Gaspar you will be seen & heard in the process! Thank you Ivan & all the staff for your part in creating a positive experience at Bressi Gaspar !! You guys are amazing-"

It is always very clean and comfortable."

"After an injury, I experienced chronic pain in my spine, right shoulder, and neck for over 18 months. I was referred to Ivan, who put me on the right path to long term healing! He took the time to listen to the full history of my pain, starting from the moment of injury up until the day that we began working together, and explained my continuing pain in a way that was easy to understand yet detailed and informative. By doing his recommended exercises, my pain levels drastically reduced, and now, I'm continuing to get stronger and have returned to living "normal" life -- something that once felt impossible! Perhaps most importantly on my journey to healing, Ivan gave me the encouragement and hope that I needed to believe that I could thrive post-injury. As a bonus, the staff is wonderful, and each aid has also been very attentive and knowledgeable. I can't recommend Ivan and Gaspar Physical Therapy highly enough! "

"I couldn't be happier with the care I've received at GPT Carlsbad, El Camino. Everyone at the office is professional and helpful, and Ivan is an outstanding therapist. He is knowledgeable, insightful, and patient. He thoughtfully analyzes my progress and continually fine tunes my treatment plan, taking into account my goals and helping me problem solve challenges. I'm so happy that I have been able to get my chronic pain under control and return to activities I enjoyed before my injury. I wholeheartedly recommend Ivan and GPT. "

"I want to complement Laura who was my physical therapist after a dreadful ankle injury. Her knowledge and expertise to get me back on my feet and reach my goals were both encouraging and educational. She treated me with kindness and respect. She was thorough in her explanations and was very patient with me as sometimes things were difficult. I couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience."

"I saw Dr. Brian for about 3 months after a car accident injured my back. We always had great conversations and he made the entire experience pleasant, given the circumstances. All of the aids were kind and patient and also nice to chat with. I had no issues scheduling or billing. I reached a point where I was able to do the exercises on my own and was sad that my time here was over, but glad for the time I spent here. If I have an injury in the future I will definitely go back here!"

"When I first came to Gaspar DPT at Bressi Ranch, I was greeted by professional and friendly staff. I had visited other physical therapy offices, but I found this one to be the best. I was assigned to Ivan who was very friendly, honest, respectful, knowledgeable and he made me feel comfortable and at ease. His professionalism from start to finish gave me confidence that this was the right choice to have my physical therapy done by Gaspar DPT. Ivan goes out of his way to make sure the client feels comfortable, explains the issues and what can be done to help you, answers all your questions and you are pleased with the results. I am very impressed by the professionalism with which Gaspar DPT operates. I strongly recommend this place to come to if you need physical therapy. Thank you for making me feel welcomed, your customer service was impeccable, and I felt the sessions done by Ivan greatly improved my wellbeing while overcoming my initial lower back and shoulder pain. I am very happy with the results."

"If it were possible to give six stars out of five for physical therapist, Dr. Brian stone, I would. He has helped me with two major issues in the past several years. Recently I injured my back and had excruciating pain whenever I tried to sit, get up, or lie down. Dr. Stone’s expertise, dedication, and good humor resolved that issue for me in a few months. A few years earlier I tore a tendon in my right ankle and Dr. Stone not only resolved the pain and strengthen the ankle, he also helped strengthen my left knee in the process. What a bonus! I had gone in to the clinic for one issue and had two of them resolved. In my 30 years of receiving physical therapy in various clinics, I found that Brian Stone and his staff were distinguished in one area that sets them apart from other knowledgeable and well-meaning physical therapy clinics. They really listen to the patient who is often aware of his/her pain and ability levels. They will find ways to accommodate the idiosyncrasies of the individual’s body without causing undue delays in the recovery process by imposing one-size-fits-all exercises. All the staff, the front office and the aides, were helpful, friendly, and dedicated. Sarah, another physical therapist, was excellent when I saw her for several sessions when Brian was on vacation. Brian Stone deserves credit for hiring great people and managing a highly effective clinic."

"I’ve been lucky and have had great experiences in PT but the therapists at Gaspar surpass the rest. Not only are they technically competent but they are kind and caring. Ivan, Vicki and Travis have helped me beyond my expectations. They have saved me from many painful times. I would be lost without them!"

"My experience at Gaspar Physical Therapy was excellent! I had a total knee replacement in March of this year. I started PT a week later with Brian. My initial flexing measurement was 70 degrees! It seemed impossible to reach 120-130 degree goal within a few months. Brian was so patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. He kept encouraging me to try harder. I have to say this is a very difficult and long rehab. Having such a wonderful support system helped! Many many thanks to Brian, Kayla and the staff at Gaspar! I would recommend them."

"On 1/02/2001 I suffered a heart attack. My cardiologist, Dr. Martin Charlat sent me to Gaspar Physical Therapy in Carlsbad. This was my first experience with a physical therapist. I was greeted with a warm smile and assistance in completing the initial paperwork. I met Dr. Paul Gaspar and immediately felt comfortable with his genuine warm smile. Dr. Gaspar listened intently to my description of my current physical condition. Then he offered a detailed description of the treatment I would be receiving during this therapy period. I remember at that time 19 years ago there were several local high school athletes receiving treatment & after I questioned them on their injuries & treatment they were receiving they all gave a “thumbs up!” Since my initial visit 19 years ago I have returned many times. I have received treatment at Encinitas & currently the Bressi Ranch office. Each time I enter the office I am always met with a cheerful smile & courteous hello. They are always prompt with the appointments. The reason I have given a 5 star rating is because of the professionalism, courtesy, attentive nature of the staff. They are all excellent listeners. I know the reason that Gaspar Physical Therapy has caring personnel and it starts at the top!. For many years on my visits I have observed Dr. Paul Gaspar listen attentively to his staff. Dr. Paul always has a kind word to his dedicated team of professional therapists. His team members are content working with Dr. Paul and I feel this is the sole reason they are worthy of the 5 Star Rating. In closing, the equipment is up to date & fills the need to achieve maximum results for recovery. I sincerely appreciate all the care I have received from Gaspar Physical Therapy over the past 19 years! Bill Owen La Costa"

"The professionals here really do care about your wellness journey. They are very knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. I appreciate the sanitation measures they have taken during this pandemic. I have been improving every time I come here."

"I want to thank all the staff at Gaspar, El Camino Real, Carlsbad. Because of the pandemic, everyone wore masks and gloves. The clients all had their temperature taken, had required masks to be worn. Gaspar had plenty of santitizing lotion also. I had right knee replacement in January, went to PT for 4 weeks, and then quarantine at home started in March. Luckily a friend recommended me to Gaspar as an essential business who reopened. I started PT again in May. I am so grateful to Brian and the technicians for their dedication in understanding my pain and weaknesses, and detail to wiping down every surface. My exercise regime was excellent, great stretching exercises and tremendous help with walking straight! I came in in May in pain and left in July with no pain and walking and riding a stationary bike with no worries. Thank You!"

"I have just finished my 4th round of PT for both my shoulders. I have always understood the importance of physical therapy, but my exceptional and compassionate care at Gaspar of Bressi Ranch, made all the difference. Not only in my recovery, but also in my motivation to stay positive and do the work needed to regain my independence. My PT was Ivan Vicario and if it wasn’t for him, I know my outcome would have been different; I wouldn’t have regained as much as I have now. He also truly helped me to mentally deal with the pain which is inevitable with the injuries I had. As I mentioned before, the compassionate care I received from Ivan was truly a blessing. I will always be grateful to him for that! All the staff in this Carlsbad office is exceptional. It can be felt as soon as you walk through the door. If anyone is ever in need of physical therapy, I strongly encourage you to go to here; I know you will receive the best treatment that’s out there. With much Gratitude, Rosemary Cancro"

"I completed physical therapy for my ankle at this location and was always blown away by their friendly staff every visit. They definitely care about their patient’s comfortability. The staff is extremely welcoming and kind. Although I am happy I have graduated physical therapy I am sad to leave the amazing facility and positive staff members. 10/10 would recommend not only for the best care, but also for a speedy recovery!"

"Brian helped me with my tendon problem - he really knows his stuff when it comes to the foot and ankle."

"This clinic is the best there is! The physical therapist and aides are all so nice, professional, and they are good at what they do! On top of that the front office staff is always friendly and welcoming. PT clinics like this are hard to come by!"

"The Overall staff experience is excellent , from start to finish. Each and every member of their team, Goes the extra mile, to make sure you are comfortable, safe, and getting the proper level of treatment. I have had therapy for long periods of time, at other facilities, in different states, around the Us, but none, At this level. My therapist Brian Stone has been wonderful, in every regard. I have complex back and neck issues, he has helped me greatly, with both. I Highly Recommend Brian, as well as every member of that team at Bressi, to anyone that is injured and needs rehab."

"I have gone to Gaspar PT for both of my neck surgeries and after a torn rotators cuff. I can not say enough about this place. My DPT was Ivan. I met him after my first surgery while waiting for my Fusion surgery. Ivan is the most professional, inspiring, empathetic physical therapist I have ever met. He has a way of reading me that is unbelievable. Treating chronic pain is so much more then physical, as it can take a toll on you emotionally as well. When I met him I had pretty much given up ever getting out of pain, and ever living a full life. He has changed my mind! I am doing so much better both physically and mentally. He has taught me how to use my arms without using neck muscles which helps so much. The exercises help so much and he customized them just for me and my issues. If I come in extra painful or having spasms, he always takes the time to get me through it before doing my exercises. See, I’m only 37 with two spine surgeries in 15 months. I also have young kids so I can’t just rest and lay in bed. I don’t know where I would be without Gaspar PT and Ivan. I’m actually going to miss them all when my PT ends. I will end by saying that if you need someone you can trust and someone to help you live the best life you physically can, come to Gaspar PT. Thank you!!"

"Excellent. Easy to get appointments. Only the best Physical therapy for my kiddo and it is Gaspar . Brian stone knew exactly what it took to get my swimmer back in the water. Thank you. Excellent front desk staff, friendly and knowledgaknow. If you are in need. Go here first."

"Brian Stone is so knowledgeable about Multiple Sclerosis and helped me recover fast after having knee anthroscopy surgery followed by a multiple sclerosis relapse. During that time I had a lot of tightness and spasticity but under his care physical therapy has made my walking more fluid, faster and improved my overall strength especially where I was weak after surgery. He answered all my concerns, Thank you so much !!"

"A 1 service form everyone. Just wish I hadn't waited so long before coming. Nick and his assistants have helped me so much. I feel confident that I can continue the exercise they have taught me."

"Evan was amazing! Extremely informative, very professional, friendly, and encouraging. I had no idea that small core exercises could improve my overall pain. I was very very very pleased with my experience here. The whole staff was very friendly. I would strongly recommend Evan and Gaspar to anyone in need of PT."

"Kristen Anderson is the best physical therapist I have very been treated by! I would recommend her and will tell Dr. Skylar how great she is."

"Kristen was exceptional... She is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also funny and personal. Most of the aids were professional... Overall a great experience"

"I felt like the therapy was very specific and well directed to my issue. Always felt that they were truly interested in my recovery. Once goal was reached, therapy was stopped, which was the right thing."

"5 stars!"

"Brian was very knowledgeable and good. I have been going to Gaspar P.T. for 18 years now and highly recommend them."

"Brian and his team have been really great. Even though I am not fully recovered since when I started, he was able to make to run again. That is huge!! I am hoping to find someone as good as him to where I am moving. I am going to miss him and the whole team, from the front desk to the assistants."

"Overall great experience. Was able to get back to running and hiking and doing the things I love, pain free."

"The first appointment was just getting information on the issues I had. Every appointment I worked with the same therapist so progress could be seen and evaluated. I got exercises for home and was seeing good progress for my broken talus. They were on time for every appointment and friendly. I had a great overall experiment."

"The Bressi Ranch DPT team has my "strongest" recommendation to anyone in need of Physical Therapy. I am a disabled veteran with an 80% disability rating, and Dr. Lloyd and the Bressi Ranch Therapy Team have been able to accomplish far more in helping me to; gain an expanded range of movement, experience additional mobility, and enjoy a much welcomed pain reduction over the past 12 months, than any other PT team has been able to accomplish in the past 20 years. The care and concern that they demonstrate for each patient is truly outstanding, and they treat each patient like family members. Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy has definitely earned this five (5) star rating, with an added two thumbs up!!! "

"I have visited Gaspar 3 rounds of therapy for sports related injuries. Each time I have had excellent service and results. Ranging from therapy to icing along with convenient scheduling. I would give my strongest possible recommendation to anyone needing challenging PT; to do it at Gaspar."

"Gaspar in Carlsbad is a great positive place. If anyone knows, it would be me with over 9 months of physical therapy with Gaspar . I had a very bad trauma to my left knee and Ryan Paik helped me regain mobility to my shattered joint. I started with less than 30 degrees and now have over 90 degrees of motion. It took more than 60 sessions and Ryan constantly challenged me with new exercises to assist in my rehabilitation. He is the best. The rest of the physical therapist and assistants are also outstanding."
