I have been working with Aeriel, and she is very kind, knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. She has helped me make tremendous progress in my healing.

"Absolutely the best therapy available."

"THE BEST PHYSICAL THERAPY OFFICE AND STAFF EVER"

"I have a history of BPPV and 6 months after moving to Carlsbad from Florida I had another episode and while I could do the epley on myself, I prefer a Physical Therapist to do it for me and usually with great success. This office got me in on a Friday at the last minute and successfully got my crystals back into place and I have been good to go ever since. I am a FL State licensed Massage therapist and since opening my office I recommend Gaspar to every single client who asks for a referral without hesitation."

"I would highly recommend Paul Gaspar and his team of PT professionals. I broke my ankle in 2014 and the other ankle in 2021. I also was in a car accident in 2017. Due to Paul and his staff working with me off and on for 12 years for different injuries and with various treatments; I now work out four days a week, walk a 60 lbdog weekdays and I am leading a fairly active life. When I developed Congestive Heart failure, Paul and his team developed breathing exercises for me to do at their clinic and also at home. Gaspar PT also has PT employees who will work with you in a swim facility in Carlsbad to help you to regain mobility. Water therapy was so helpful with my back injury recovery. Thank you, Paul and your staff for always greeting me with a smile, and knowing my name and helping me to be the best version of myself. Don't want to forget Nancy, the office manager and much more. She is an outstanding individual."

"Excellent. Really enjoy my therapist,. Friendly,knowledgeable."

"Great Therapists, friendly people."

"I have used Gaspar over the years for physical therapy. What a great welcoming place to teach you how to strengthen your muscles and heal your body. The staff real understand what you need and create a program to keep your body in good shape. I continue to do a daily routine of the exercises that I have learned. You are treated by a very caring staff!"

"Praise for the cardio team who helped me recover from open heart surgery two years ago. Your team helped get me through a very difficult time."

"I’ve been fortunate to have the professionals at the Encinitas offices work with me on three different PT situations over several years. The staff is knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Follow-up is timely and I’d return to them if needed. Highly recommend."

"Gaspar was friendly, efficient and very thorough. Most importantly, the therapists were knowledgeable. Dr Mario Edwards was fabulous. I highly recommend."

"When it comes to physical therapy, the physical therapist really know and understand the physiology of the human body. You will find everyone that works there from the receptionist, to all the physical therapists and their assistance, and Nancy who manages the office... Are the most professionals and the nicest people that you will ever deal with, when it comes to your health needs... They truly care."

"I met with Paul Gaspar this morning. I cannot say enough about him, he is kind, caring, attentive and extremely knowledgeable. I look forward to working with you and thank you so much for your time. It is very much appreciated."

"While all the therapists I've worked with over the years at Gaspar Physical Therapy are top notch, there's no better embodiment of knowledge, positivity, flexibility, creativity, and professionalism in a therapist than Susan Sange at the Encinitas location. I visibly progressed between every session I worked with Susan and recovered strength and mobility faster than I expected. Susan is a great listener and a wellspring of support who I highly recommend people seek out for their physical rehabilitation."

"Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy is truly exceptional! The entire staff is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely caring. From the moment I walked in, I never felt like "just a patient" but more like a VIP from start to finish. Dr. Gaspar is one of the best doctors I have had the pleasure of working with. He truly cares about his patients and also clearly values his team. That level of dedication and compassion shines through in the care you receive. I highly recommend Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy to anyone seeking not only expert treatment but also an environment where you feel supported and valued. They specialize in injuries, cardiac rehab, pelvic floor, to arthritis, pre/post-surgical patients and more! Best part... Dr. Paul has the best "dad" jokes around town!"

"Truly remarkable office! Large number of skilled Doctors of Physical Therapy and highly qualified assistants. Great facilities with a huge variety of equipment and modalities to help with rehabilitation and pain management. I am so grateful and happy to have found Dr. Gaspar and his terrific Doctors of Physical Therapy!"

"Paul is one of the best Physical Therapist's I have ever seen. He has that special touch! He cares and is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Paul and his team."

"Paul Gasper Physical Therapy is excellent place to rehab. All the physical therapists that I have had are very knowledgeable, give you goals to reach at your ability, are very encouraging, focus on strengthening, home exercise programs and returning the patient to wellness. They therapists are highly trained, skilled and very caring."

"Been a client for years at Gaspar. Summer and her team are the best. Summer listens, asks the right questions, and provides professional suggestions & opinions in a way that makes me feel comfortable. The aquatic PT option is definitely a plus as well. It’s nice to alternate the aquatic session with the office session."

"First of all, I have had lots of PT! I broke my ankle in Peru & had 2 knee replacements. I have done PT at several other places locally. The care I have received at Gaspar PT has been far superior! My trainer, Mario Edwards has given me the best program & I am very grateful to him. Paul Gaspar has been right there when I had special concerns or Mario was not available. They are a terrific team. You can’t go wrong here….they are amazing!"

"Outstanding physical therapy group. Exercises Tailored to each person's needs and a wonderful Aqua-therapy team too!"

"Excellent care at an excellent facility"

"2 years ago I had post surgery complications from cervical fusion. Specifically, both of my arms were partially paralyzed. I worked with Paul 3x per week for months as he helped me regain movement. Over time I reduced my therapy to once per week and ultimately was released. Today my arms have full movement although I am still recovering strength and neck movement. None of this would have happened without Paul's dedication and assistance of many of his staff who were always supportive, encouraging and friendly. Thank you Team Gaspar Encinitas."

"I loved Gaspar. I especially liked Aerial"

"I have been seeing Susan Sange at Gaspar's Encinitas location on and off for a couple years for various ailments. She is so knowledgeable and experienced about the body and was critical in helping me heal my injuries. One thing I especially appreciate about Susan is her creativity in coming up with modifications and adaptations of PT exercises to meet my specific needs. She also knows about many different healing modalities and has a deep interest in health and fitness, backed by research. I always looked forward to my sessions with Susan, was never disappointed, and always left feeling better, stronger, more informed, and motivated to practice what I learned. Thank you, Susan!!"

"The Physical Therapists at the Gaspar office in Encinitas were excellent. I had spinal stenosis in the lower back, and was successfully treated initially by Feliciy Rice, and then Aerial Bailey (former last name) - Both of these two Physical Therapists are true professionals and I would highly recommend Aerial at this Gaspar office."

"Wonderful physical therapy experience with Aeriel Bailey, DPT. Really enjoyed working with her and looked forward to my appointments, which has not always been my experience with physical therapy."

"If you want a place that listens and works with you, this is the place to go. Plus, everyone is friendly."

"In today’s fast paced world , one can easily become just a number on the computer screen. A genuine human connection is rare . Fortunately there are exceptions . Paul Gaspar is one of them ."

"Dr Gaspar and his team are so knowledgeable and really help speed up the healing process. You know you are in good hands when you are there."

"The therapy for dealing with my diaphramic palsay was both highly skillful and proved to be effective, I would highly recommend Paul for breathing difficulties, which is an uncommon skill he has which I benefitted from."

"Overall great experience. David was very helpful, and I feel did an excellent job in working with me for my back injury. The assistants also did excellent work guiding me through the exercises. Much appreciated!"

"Everyone was Great,"

"It was great working with Gaspar Doctors of Therapy. I was given individual care at the highest level imaginable. Thanks so much to all of you. Lou Lollio"

"Extremely professional, but my PT and the rest of the team were also very personable. My PT listened well to my updates each time i met with him and remembered our past conversations as he continued to fine tune my program over the length of my visits. The receptionists there were also easy to work with, in setting up future appointments and in making changes over the phone when necessary. I was very pleased with my progress and my injury is greater than 95% improved since I finished my therapy at Gaspar. My PT also provided me clear instructions on continuing my stretching and strengthening program at home to get myself closer to that 100% level of strength and flexibility that I want to achieve over the long term."

"Very friendly caring and knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone in Encinitas who is looking for a physical therapist.."

"My first time at Gaspar Encinitas and I have been totally impressed. They are so attentive and are really helping me with stretches and exercises to get back on my feet after a femur stabilization surgery."

"My cardiologist recommended several sessions with Gaspar. I went in feeling weak and no energy and within weeks I had regained my strength. Extremely nice staff!"

"I was referred to Gaspar following bilateral knee replacements. My physical therapist was fabulous. Very patient with me as i i recovered from my surgery. The additional staff mrmbers i interacted were helpful and friendly as I performed the various assigned exercises."

"Excellent services; caring physical therapists. Thank you."

"I have a rare form of Neuropathy and needed PT to walk and regain my balance. Dave provided the PT program that allowed be to regain my walking ability and balance. Thank you, Gaspar"

"everyone is AWESOME !!!!!"

"EXCELLENT!! Paul Gaspar and his team are the best PT - professional, skilled, compassionate. Highly recommend!"

"I have been a patient there on multiple occasions. Each experience is better than the last. The staff is highly trained and sensitive to the needs of their patients. This is a large group but not a mill. Individualized programs with an emphasis on what you can do on your own. I give them 5 stars in every measure."

"I have been fortunate to be assigned to Dave who is helping me with some neck issues. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, listens carefully, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. The administrative team at the Encinitas location is welcoming and competent."

"Having Jake and this teams’ support has been so important and rewarding. The knowledge, care and attention have been instrumental in my full recovery. By far the very best PT I have ever had. Thank you!"

"A thorough, excellent, facility that actually made a difference in my condition. Thank you. The whole staff was helpful and courteous."

"I chose this place for Cardiac Rehabilitation after 3 stints. The wonderful thing about that type of referral is that ANYTHING that interferes with your rehabilitation (getting back in shape) is considered a physical therapy goal and Gaspar attacks the problem. I had knee pain, back pain, foot pain, dizziness, breathing problems and all, in turn, were analyzed and we went to work...ANYTHING that interferes comes under the heading of Cardiac Rehabilitation! It's a wonderful place full of very helpful people!"

"We did an out of town consult with Paul Gaspar for a particularly tricky shoulder issue. Due to his knowledge and experience with a new device, my daughter made a full and rapid recovery."

"Summer is the BOMB….. aswell as the rest of the gang."

"The therapy staff's knowledge, attention and vibe that Dr. Gaspar has created makes for a great patient experience and results! Unfortunately the offsite billing staff and methods are much the opposite. Hopefully for future patients this can be corrected"

"Everyone is friendly & polite. My team of Kat/Mario are fantastic physical therapist's! They take all the time needed to make sure you’re doing exercises correctly and provide top quality services."

"I have been going to Gaspar Physical Therapy for 17 years and I credit them with the reason why I can walk without a cane, get up from a chair without help, have 100% movement in my shoulders after two shoulder replacements, turn my head to the left and the right without pain. I believe I wouldn’t be in this fantastic shape at 79 years old without their help. Their physical therapist are highly knowledgeable, caring, and friendly! I would recommend this practice as the best!"

"I have been a patient at Gaspar Physical Therapy on and off for many years and various injuries. Paul and his staff are kind, knowledgeable and make PT something to actually look forward to. Their goal is to make you better so you don’t need to come back and they do an excellent job making that happen. I would never go anywhere else for any PT issues."

"After over 40 years with lower back problems Susan and the team gave me a simple regime to follow which has improved the quality of my life !"

"Amazing and caring staff! I would highly recommend anyone trying to get their health back on track to go here! David did an amazing job getting my back to be pain free again. Thank you Encinitas Gaspar Team!"

"This is not only the best physical therapy clinic I’ve ever experienced (I’ve been to many), but they supersede almost all doctors/facilities I’ve been to in the past 30+ years. Not only do they understand the physical and biological mechanics, but they understand complex autonomic and other nervous system issues that can prevent/impede healing. They go outside the box and have things like vagus nerve stimulators, see the person as a whole (IYKYK that’s counter to W Med), help you feel seen and heard (not gaslighting you like most docs), and authentically take time with their patients. I love that Aerial has a background in yoga, and has such a calm, caring, healing energy; knowing the appropriate time to introduce certain modalities. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for how Paul has shown me a level of care and concern for my issues unlike anyone I’ve encountered - an empathy and understanding I’ve never witnessed in the medical system. I’m in awe of this place! 🙏🏻🫶🏻❤️‍🩹"

"The good people at Gaspar have reduced my pain and allowed me to enjoy being active every day. Thank you.🙏🏻"

"Wonderful staff that really helps you! Summer ( staff member) is the best! Thanks for your services!!"

"The best and most competent staff I have ever experienced in physical therapy"

"I have visited the Gaspar Encinitas PT office on multiple occasions over the last few years. By far the best physical therapy experiences I have ever had. The physical therapists are very knowledgeable, as well as personable and attentive to patient needs and concerns. The support staff and PT aides are also excellent. The owner, Paul Gaspar, is always there making the rounds and checking in with the patients to see how things are going. Highly recommended."

"The atmosphere is very friendly and the facility is well stocked with all of the equipment. Paul and his staff are real professionals . The Encinitas location is very convenient. I recommend that you give it a try."

"First class physical therapy! Paul and his team are the best you can find"

"Very pleased with the time and attention to detail with my sessions with Dr. Paul and his staff. Everyone is very pleasant, enthusiastic and supportive. The sessions are customized for my needs. Thank you for such a positive experience."

"The staff is the best. They care about you and help you get better because they are very knowledgeable about the methods to get it done. And all of this is done in a warm and friendly atmosphere. If you are lucky to be assigned to Encinitas you will get the best care possible. If you do the work diligently you will get better. Paul Gasper is wonderful, warm, caring leader of this.facility. His leadership has encouraged his staff to grow professionally and become technologically proficient. All to the benefits of the patients."

"The staff, trainer, office staff and services are exceptional. The team works with each individual to customize support for maximum healing. Thank you all!"

"The physical therapy for my knee replacement went beyond the simple restoration of range of motion to help me recover my balance and walk that had deteriorated due past knee pain. Gaspar also helped my wife recover the use of her elbow without pain. They are super!!!"

"I was seen and helped by Brett at the Encinitas location. She's smart, patient oriented and supportive to your needs. I'm very happy with her care and have advised friends and family they'd be in good hands when looking for an excellent therapist. I was also very pleased with Jessica at the front desk. Knowledgeable and kind and an enormous help with clarifying insurance information. She truly is the face of the company and we all know how important that first impression is!!"

"This good? I have seen Gina Gerber for physical therapy for various issues over the last couple of years and followed her to Gaspar Solana Beach. She has been the most helpful and effective pt I've had over the years, never just going through the motions, always cheerful and caring. She is very knowledgeable and when something new comes up is willing to put in the time and effort to research new potential exercises that continue to help me to progress. I had never been able to do a squat or lunge due to recurring knee problems over 30 years, and can now, at 65 years old, do 3 sets of 15 (with weights even) due to the progressive course of exercises she painstakingly laid out for me. I broke my arm and developed terrible back and neck pain due to my unwise decision to keep exercising just one side of my body and Gina helped me figure out exactly where the pains were originating and develop a series of exercises to bring me back to full strength and allow me to swim pain free again. She's also helped me with back and foot pain issues. In fact, I have an entire spreadsheet of helpful exercises from Gina for whenever I start to experience a setback and also an understanding from her of where the problem might be originating from, usually not where I would have thought. Gina has really helped me to stay active and pain free as I have aged and been a great resouce to making sure problems don't reoccur."

"It has been a gift to discover aqua therapy and to work with Kai, Summer and their aides. Aqua therapy has enabled me to heal my body as no other therapy has, and strengthen it without the wear and tear of other exercise.s Kai and Summer have developed a comprehensive program that addresses my whole body (rare in PT) and administer it with thoughtful guidance, care and support, giving me the motivation and confidence to continue on my own. I cannot express enough gratitude - thank you so very much! Highly, highly recommend!"

"Kai and Summer and their aides "

"I was Refered by my Physician to Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy for ongoing vertigo after a cruise. Jake my PT has significantly helped resolve the disorder. I am grateful for the professional help I have been given."

"Dr. Jake Martin, has been my primary physical therapist for ACL repair, biceps rupture, and cervical radiculopathy. His expertise and thoroughness are amazing. He has got me back to skiing, surfing, running, and diving, despite breaking various body parts. The entire staff at Gaspar Encinitas are professional and do an excellent job."

"Aeriel provides excellent care! I highly recommend her."

"DPT Jake evaluated my needs and supervised a program to restore full function to my leg. This course of treatment is my third experience with Jake. I am most satisfied with my progress to date"

"They are the best! Very inspiring, gentle, very professional!"

"David has increased my range of motion significantly in a few weeks, and each week I am feeling better and stronger. The exercise programs are targeting the muscle areas I need to improve, and I am seeing the improvement."

"The therapists that I have worked have been exceptional and professional. I am very pleased with the results I have gotten. I highly recommend Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy."

"The best.Professional.no more need be said."

"I have gone to this Gaspar facility for two different issues. The first was resolved successfully. The second is underway. The people are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I completely trust the program that they have developed for me."

"Hello I saw Aeriel for my 1st appointment. Then Cat for several appointments with Courtney picking up the last few appointments herself. They are all great!!! I'd like to recommend Courtney to hire at Gaspar. She is graduating from her program and is taking her test in early October to finish up. She is very personable, listens to patient inputs and demonstrates proper techniques to take home to do exercises. She gently corrects technique when needed. Straightening out foot - when doing laying down foot slide with stretching strap. It was very helpful having print outs of all the exercises to do them at hope correctly. She went online & printed out exactly what I needed to order - a stretch strap with loops. I hope you will consider hiring her. Thank You!"

"Care focuses on improving movement in the entire body, the whole person in mind, not just one isolated body part. It's gratifying to come to therapy and have professionals address multiple issues in each session and send you home with exercises that will reinforce activities that you experienced in your time there. The therapists are pleasant, competent, and eager to bring you to a better outcome. They constantly monitor your progress through each exercise. I look forward to my sessions."

"Still very early in the PT process. However, I feel like there is already progress. I definitly feel better after doing my exercises. I no longer have pain when walking my dog. "

"Susan Sange not only helped with my cardio, she also helped with my nutrition!"

"Throughout my therapy, Jake was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, always adjusting the exercises based on my progress. The hands-on techniques were highly effective, and I noticed a significant improvement in my mobility and pain levels after just a few sessions. What truly stood out to me was Jake dedication to patient care. He provided clear explanations and consistently encouraged me, making the entire experience both productive and enjoyable. The clinic itself is well-equipped and the staff are friendly and professional. Thanks to Jake and the team at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy, I’m now feeling stronger and more confident in my movement. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of physical therapy."

"Great experience! Jake is very skilled and friendly. "

"Isabel and her team have been exceptionally professional, encouraging and friendly. I very happy with results."

"Isabel has been great! She's been, thoughtful, insightful and knowledgeable about my knee issue and treatment"

"Always prepared and able to present a great plan."

"Everyone is very friendly and helpful. My PT Susan is very nice, positive and extremely knowledgeable. I feel a sense of positive energy surrounds her!"

"I have been to Gaspar in the past for treatment so when PT was prescribed for a recent back injury I chose to go back. I'm working with Kyler Sugiyama in this round of treatment. Kyler is great and the treatments and exercises he prescribed are helping in that the pain isn't as severe and doesn't last as long during the flareups. I highly recommend Gaspar."

"Matthew Spurley is very knowledgeable, experienced and a good listener. He progressed my exercises in a manner in which I was ready to tackle the next level of strengthening, and to back off when I experienced pain. I highly recommend him."

"My experience at Gaspar was wonderful. Matt was very professional, knowledgeable and caring. He was great in helping me to recover after a meniscus knee surgery. He was very thorough in explaining each exercises and took the time to listen to your concerns. A thumbs up to a great staff there."

"Tyler did a great job leading me towards normal function after my hip replacement. I had the other hip done five years ago so I knew what to expect. Kyler more than exceeded my expectations and kept me realistic and motivated. I would recommend Kyler in particular to everyone."

"Super professional and attentive care. From the front office staff, to the doctors to the paraprofessionals, they work as a team to get the job done. Dr. Sugiyama, (Kyler) has a great bedside manner. The exercises that he assigned me are right on the money. I'll be back in the water soon...super stoked!"

"Matt did an excellent job helping me with a neck strain. He taught me many stretches and exercises to alleviate the pain and help rehabilitate it. I’ve been able to continue working on my neck muscles at home. Matt was very kind, polite, and a pleasure to work with."

"I've always had good experiences at Gaspar PT. The front office staff are exceptional. Matthew Sperle, my recent PT, was caring, friendly, knowledgeable, always trying new things if something wasn't working. Would highly recommend him."

"I tore the meniscus in my knee and Matthew was so wonderful helping me get out of pain and back to working out. He was super patient, always explained the exercises thoroughly and adjusted whenever I was having a pain flareup. Additionally, he was so positive and fun to be around I actually looked forward to our appointments together. He was crucial in helping me build my confidence to working out again. So thankful for him & the Gaspar team!"

"Jake!!! I want to commend you for the vestibular PT insights you’ve provided me after only two visits. You are my first medical provider in over a year of dealing with viral secondary symptoms who has looked more carefully at my eye tracking. After you informed me of the slower left eye, I looked up the consequences of this dysfunction for the brain. The symptoms fit a binocular vision dysfunction. Along with continued vestibular PT with you, I’ve made an appointment with an ophthalmologist to pursue a referral to a neural ophthalmologist. I think you’ve discovered the source of my distress with vision, vertigo, and mobility. Thank you so much for the work that you do!"

"5 stars for Aeriel. She is the pelvic floor therapist and is wonderful. She takes time to explain the treatment and uses models to show you what’s going on in the pelvic area which I found to be very informative and helpful when doing exercises as I was able to picture in my mind the muscles that need work. During treatment she checks in often which I appreciated and my issues are on the mend. I recommend her for anyone with pelvic pain and other pelvic problems."

"Dr. Susan and staff are welcoming, so professional, and have taught me so much about my self and what I’m capable of doing. I’m healing every day. Thank you Gaspar."

"For two+ years I finally have relief! I had been misdiagnosed but Matt could see the actual problem. A few targeted exercises and I'm almost good as new."

"I’ve had several problems with neck pain and even had surgery to remove 4 deteriorating discs and perform a neck fusion. Over the years, neck pain increased again and after several tests it was determined that I would need a similar surgery on another part of my neck and a fusion at the top of my neck which would permanently prevent me from moving my neck which was frightening to me. Plus, I have congestive heart failure which at my advanced age would make the surgery a more serious situation. So , I decided against surgery and began physical therapy with Dr. Gaspar for my heart as well as my neck. The results for the neck therapy have been astounding!! I am now able to move my neck almost to the point of when the pain first started which needless to say has been a miracle!! I have also increased my overall strength with exercises which Dr. Gaspar has recommended. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am to Dr. Gaspar for helping me avoid surgery and bringing joy back into my life which had begun to fade because of so much pain. I would recommend to anyone who is experiencing pain to consult with Dr.Gaspar to see if he can offer a plan to help with pain especially if surgery is being considered as another alternative."

"Aeriel is absolutely amazing. I seriously doubted the effectiveness of PT before seeing her- but it really has been helping. She’s also very easy to talk to and I feel very comfortable each visit. Absolutely reccomend☺️🤍"

"I am making good progress toward my goals."

"Mathew has showed His knowledge and ability to help me get stronger! He explains things beautifully and encourages me to work harder!"

"I stopped in hoping I could get a couple appointments with a physical therapist before I moved out of state at the end of next week. Paul Gaspar, the owner of Gaspar PT overheard the Receptionist tell me they were booked for the next ten days. He stopped what he was doing and examined me on the spot. He then took me back and spent a half hour working on my shoulder. Outstanding service from an outstanding Physical Therapist."

"Kyler is a great physical therapist. I know with time that my gait and balance will improve."

"I've found Paul Gaspar and Eddie Lara the two most helpful physical therapists of the six or seven clinics I've tried. I found them outstanding in understanding, explaining, and treating my problems. Very grateful for their help."

"Everyone is professional, helpful, kind and encouraging during a recovery that has been hard for me. They have made a positive difference in my physical and mental state - I look forward to the visit every time."

"I have found a need to use this practice 4 times over the past many years, following back surgery, breast cancer surgery, a neck injury and balance/stability issues.

I highly recommend them and will always go back when needed."

The team at Gaspar are friendly, knowledgeable and professional and i highly recommend their service."

"For me thee Best Physical Therapy in decades! I recommend for all in Rancho Santa Fe, Cali."

"Having had a “surprise heart experience, getting stents, the best thing for me was Cardiac rehab. Dr Susan guided me along to being confident that I’m back living a more informed life. This was a must do!"

"all associates are knowledgeable and friendly"

"Chest pain when walking. Since coming to Gaspar, I'm a new & improved me. I went from 186 pounds to 168 by exercising & changing my diet. My therapist Susan was an excellent teacher, & the entire staff made me feel so welcome. Much appreciated!!!"

"I never enjoyed going to PT until I came to Gaspar. The staff is kind, supportive and most of all professional. They make exercising fun! Bobbi"

They have great personnel who are very friendly and gracious in everything they do. Paul Gaspar as a wealth of knowledge Concerning the body. I have worked with Eddie for years and he has taken good care of me. They are the best. They are very concerned about their patients and when I was hardly able to walk, they made sure I got to the car. Again, Gaspar is a class act."

She is personable, very knowledgeable, and has helped me feel at ease from the very beginning. I really appreciate her thorough approach and feel hope for the first time in a long time that I can find some relief from my pain. She has walked me through each step of the process with patience, explaining what we are doing and the reason why, and makes asking questions and communicating with her really comfortable. I am so grateful to have found this clinic and definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for PT!"

"Very friendly and professional services"

"The therapists at Gaspar in Encinitas are great. They are all knowledgeable, caring and patient especially my therapist Kyler.

"What an amazing place. I would go back here in a heartbeat. They brought my knee back to life after a bad fall. In previous PT experiences, after a couple of sessions, they would just say “do the exercises” and not help you at all. But not here. They treat you so well at every session, helping with form, and reminding you of what the exercises look like. I loved that. Thank you to everyone who works there!!! Thank you for bringing me back to life!!"

In addition, I was also able to work with other therapists (thank you Kyler and Cat) that allowed me to gauge my own progress. In fact, everyone I met at this office was very helpful. Also, the equipment I used was very clean. MW"

As a patient of over 3 months, my condition has improved dramatically thanks to them. I am impressed with how they are constantly challenging their patients with creative ways and new routines to help them recover. The staff is very aware of the unique requirements of their patients and will do whatever is necessary to ensure good health such as blood pressure monitoring etc. I feel like I am getting the best care possible which calms and relaxes me. I just can't say enough positive things."

I have never seen a professional team such as Paul's be as caring and knowledgeable about all things physical therapy. I look forward to working with them. "

"Vicki is an outstanding PT. She is very professional and friendly. I highly recommend her."

"Highly efficient therapists, including swim therapy. Inconsistent accounting records and payment processing with a few employees. Possibly don't know how to finalize payments or to say, "I forgot how to do it--can you wait a moment for my associate". To cover the issue---the employee just sends account to a billing company....and client gets an upsetting surprise letter re: overdue payments. I called the office directly and again provided my payment information. The true professionals at Encinitas and Carlsbad are exceptional."

"I had an outstanding experience with Jake at the Encinitas location of Gaspar. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable and a lovely person to get to know over the course of my treatment. I highly recommend Gaspar and Jake!!"

This center exceeds expectations and is vastly better than other PT centers. Finally getting the guidance and therapy that is needed. Highly recommend."

"Jessica and the team at Gaspar are amazing! Very knowledgeable and took the time to communicate with my surgeon, identify the best care for my injury and did it all with a smile on their faces."

"My own insurance for Vestibular PT had me waiting for over a mos. Gaspar got me in for a visit with Jake very quickly, he was very good and "patched me up ", well worth an out of pocket visit"

"Amazing staff. Friendly and knowledgeable. Vicky my therapist is amazing. She always cures my Vertigo!"

"I had low back pain on my left side around my waistline in an area about 3-4 in. in diameter. If I lay down anywhere & tried to turn over, it caused the verge of a muscle spasm and felt like I was being stabbed. In my first meeting w/ Kai, she gave me three exercises to do, including one stretch that immediately helped and ultimately gave me the ability to turn over without pain. With 10 or 11 sessions in just over 2 months, I went from pain near 10 on a 10 scale to less than 1, and now I'd say it's gone. I intend to keep doing my stretches and exercises, as I don't want that to come back."

"Friendly and helpful atmosphere all around. Very capable and caring doctors of physical therapy."

"I have received excellent PT for my back. Dr. Jake Marten is knowledgeable, experienced, professional and thoughtful in his care. My back is improving!"

"Calm and knowledgeable staff who seem eager to help and manage pain and discomfort. I came for a tear due to hip dysplasia and already feeling better after learning strengthening exercises and receiving treatments."

"I have just completed rehab therapy for my second total knee replacement. Kai treated me both times. I could not be happier with the care I received from both Kai and the others who assisted me. I would recommend Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy without hesitation."

"Aerial treated my out of alignment hood, gave me exercises focused on building the strength I need to avoid reinsuring myself, and got me back on track with the type of workouts I enjoy. I went from having pain when walking for more than 30-45 min to being able to run again in about a month. Highly recommend!"

"Excellent group oh therapist. Fix me up really quick and feel great. Thanks."

"The best Physical Therapy facility! An incredible team of therapists and aids who work hard to make you feel welcome and work to make you feel your best after any surgery or injury. I had so much fun at my time at Gaspar and am feeling better than ever after my surgery thanks to my fantastic physical therapist Kyler!"

"I can’t express enough how relieved I was to have found Dr Paul and Vicki in diagnosing my #POTS. I spent months feeling lost as to what was happening to my body. They helped educate me and took an interest in my condition with the goal to achieve the best outcome. They are always learning, have great tools and talent to help with such a complex syndrome. Highly recommend!"

"Vicky and the entire staff are awesome!!!"

"Super friendly, genuine and kind-hearted staff. Gaspar inclusively welcomes anyone who needs a safe space to heal. Kyler did an amazing job of helping a scruffy skater punk like me transition back into doing the things I love after a devastating injury. Considering breaking my other shoulder just so I can go back and see those guys again 👍"

"I had a bulged disk in my back and could not even walk when I started PT at Gaspar. By the time I left I was back at Pickleball and running again. Big thanks to Jessica and Amanda, highly recommend those two rockstars. They really pushed me and spent extra time tailoring my exercises to my personal progress. Eddie is awesome too. The entire staff is professional and helpful and provided a great overall experience."

"I have been coming to Gaspar for "various" arthritic conditions for about 6 years now. Vicki is my main therapist, and she is awesome, experienced, and so easy to work with. All of the attendants and exercise therapists have been wonderful. Scheduling is easy and fast too! I would never go elsewhere for my PT!! Kudos to this great place!"

"REALLY PROFESSIONAL WORK AND LOVELY PEOPLE. VERY HAPPY WITH MY EXPERIENCE!"

"All of the PT's are very knowledgeable, gentle and patient, and the aids are fantastic. I give them an A+++"

"Best Physical Therapy experience I've ever had! They deserve 6 stars out of 5!"

"Unfortunately, I am way too familiar with PT organizations because of various injuries from sports that I am too old, fat and unathletic to be playing. Of all of the places I have been, Gaspar Encinitas had the smoothest running front desk, the most engaged therapists and the nicest staff I've ever dealt with. So, because it's likely I will need PT services again someday, there won't be any question where I'll go."

"Excellent care by top docs at this office. They are the BEST!"

"I feel so fortunate to be a participant in Aquatic Physical Therapy at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy with Directors: Summer Somple Pountney DPT and Kai Somple Marcus DPT. Summer and Kai are the dynamic (identical twin) duo!! Together, with their amazing staff of physical therapy aides, especially my fave: Sara PT Aide, make me feel so welcomed. With their exceptional personalities, they go above and beyond to promote hope and optimism to me and all of us at Aqua Therapy; the silver lining to my spinal issues. They have definitely earned this well- deserved letter of praise. Summer, Kai and Sara manifest that they really care about me. I feel kindly treated with great respect. They are super talented, knowledgeable and professional, attentive and detailed. I have become a “regular” in the pool as I love to float and move in the water in a way that is not possible for me on land. I can even do squats in the really warm water!! Aquatic Rehab brings out the mermaid in me. The indoor heated pool environment is so comfortable. What makes Aqua Therapy so special? They focus on the body’s ability to heal that honors the mind/body connection. Practically speaking, the staff is very organized and focused. They even provide flexible scheduling, laminated exercise instruction sheets, and an abundance of personal attention. The Aquatic Rehab Program at Gaspar rocks!! Thank you so much!! Pamela Sara Nadav: March 11, 2021"

"The staff at the Encinitas facility could not be nicer. They are knowledgeable and spend time with me answering my questions and listening to my concerns. From the receptionists to the therapists, all make me feel important and cared for."

"I have been a patient of Gaspar Physical Therapy for a couple of years now. I can truly say their services have greatly increased my quality of life and lessened the pain that I was experiencing.

"great group of friendly and knowledgeable staff!"

"Excellent staff in the Encinitas facility!"

"Friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable!"

"In my initial screening, Paul thoroughly evaluated my back/leg issues and set up a schedule of treatments. So far I have had two treatments which have helped me. Paul pays attention to every detail of my treatment. It is obvious he knows what he is doing."

"My name is Drew, not Ian; he's my son and I don't know how is name is linked, but... I will say I am so thoroughly impressed with DPT. I'm recovering from bilateral knee replacement. My therapist, Phillip, is a brilliant young man. We've worked together before and have a great report. The office is clean, neat, well maintained, and the equipment is excellent. Phillip is an extremely knowledgeable and compassionate therapist. I am thrilled to be working with DPT and Phillip again, and recommend them without hesitation. Thank you Dr. Paul for putting together a great team and operation."

"I recently had 6 stents placed around my heart. My cardiologist recommended I do rehab with Gaspar doctors of Physical Therapy. So far I have been very happy with their Physical Therapy. They are closely monitoring what my heart is doing while taking the rehab. therapy. I feel safe. Also, I have a lot of arthritis limitations and they are doing a great job of taking into account those physical limitations while working on strengthening/improving my mobility."

"After 11 weeks with the Gaspar team in Encinitas I’ve seen a tremendous recovery from a traumatic leg injury. I attribute my recovery primarily to the efforts of my therapist, Philip Demoss. His expertise and personal attention are exceptional. All of the staff members who worked with me were knowledgeable, caring and friendly. I’d also like to single out Margaux Maribao for her outstanding patient service with insurance, billing and scheduling. While I’m continuing with remote video sessions I’ll miss the in-person sessions I’ve looked forward to. A huge THANK YOU to the entire team!"

"Over the years I've been to Gaspar physical therapy for help on my knee replacement in 2001, and most recently back/ laminotomie and shoulder surgery.My recovery has been well beyond any expectations and I would highly recommend Gaspar physical therapy. I'm 61 and surf everyday. No way I would be doing that without their help."

"Summer is the best! She quickly helped my with my frozen shoulder. Thank you!"

"The best Physical Therapists I know of. Everyone is knowledgeable and motivated to get you back to 100%. I've mostly worked with Philip and Amanda. They know their stuff."

"I have accompanied my wife's treatments for several months. And, we both cannot say enough good things about our experience at this Gaspar office. Jake, Nancy and all the staff are absolutely top-notch. They are friendly, yet totally professional. And, very effective. My wife's back and shoulder problems are responding very well to their treatment. I recommend them VERY HIGHLY!"

"Since I had an open heart surgery on Oct. 10th, 2019, I have been struggling with the chest wall pain. My pain got reduced tremendously as I had a physical therapy at the Gaspar Doctors in Encinitas. It was a great help, and I was very lucky that I met Dr. Paul Gaspar. Dr. Paul is just great, and the staffs are superb."

"Great place to undergo physical therapy. Ask for Aeriel Bailey. She's great."

"Summer is amazing!! She helped my back feel so much better, I would recommend her to anyone!"

"Summer was great! She got me back from my pain with a combination of office and pool visits."

"Great place for PT. Vicki is awesome. Listens and is attentive to details. Went in for strained hamstring. Much better after a few weeks. I will be back to playing sports soon! Entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable."

"Been under Sommer Portney's care after hip replacement. She's been very thorough to get me back doing the activities I use to do. Very good listener, very good caregiver."

"I really can’t say enough positive things about the outstanding physical therapists of Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy. I have been so impressed with the compassionate, professional, and supportive team of physical therapists and support staff that welcome me everyday with a smile and kind words. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Vicky Houston for the past year and she is one of the kindest and most competent physical therapists that I’ve ever known. I highly recommend Vicky and all of the Gaspar team for any kind of injury. Thank you Gaspar for giving me my life back!!!"

"For over 20 years they have helped me in more ways than I can count. Cannot recommend them highly enough!"

"I went to Gaspar following a labral reconstruction in my hip at the age of 29, feeling pretty down because I'd heard a lot of horror stories about the outcomes from that surgery. Paul and Eddie immediately got to work, pushing me to do as much as I was allowed to do, but still being careful to make sure I wasn't overdoing it and creating additional problems like tendinitis. One of the first things Paul suggested was that I start doing aquatic therapy, since I was partial weight bearing for 6 weeks and limited in what I could do on land, so I saw Paul twice a week in the office and Kai/Summer twice a week at the pool. It was clearly effective, because when I saw my surgeon for my 6-week post-op appointment, he was impressed by my progress and said I was doing better than any of his labral reconstruction patients, and even doing better than a lot of his labral repair patients, who would typically recover more quickly. Paul and Eddie (and the team at the pool) made me actually look forward to PT. Paul's magic hands always helped me loosen up a tight hip flexor or glute, and Eddie kept the exercises interesting so I was never bored. At 14 weeks post-op, I have had no complications and don't even notice my hip anymore in my daily life, and I can jump or run to cross the street with no pain. I am so grateful to Paul and Eddie for the AMAZING PT--I know I wouldn't be feeling so good without them."

"I love it here! All the people are so friendly the minute you walk in the door. The therepists are top notch and they CARE."

"Great staff and relaxed atmosphere."

"I was referred to Gaspar by my cardiologist for cardiopulmonary rehab. I have a somewhat uncommon condition and was very active before my diagnosis. I became quite deconditioned due to the diagnosis and getting right treatment. Dr. Paul Gaspar put me on a program and I have improved by leaps and bounds. I am feeling more like my old self. All the staff have been amazing and so patient. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!"

"Amazing customer service and fixed my pain in a few days!!"

"Top notch! Everyone is part of team to get you healed!"

"I just completed an 8 week PT program at Gaspar - Encinitas following a multilevel spinal fusion surgery last October. I was fortunate enough to be assigned to Philip DeMoss who is a talented and competent DPT. Philip is very personable and caring and took a personal interest in my wellness. I feel that my progress has been significant as I am moving and feeling very well. And I end my program with the skills I need to continue on a positive recovery path. The entire staff at the Encinitas location is wonderful and the energy there is happy and upbeat. I was never kept waiting for any of my appointments which was much appreciated. I would definitely return to Gaspar if I find myself in need again and would gladly and most certainly recommend them to anyone looking for PT services."
