Client Testimonials

Patients Love Alpine

After a major orthopedic surgery at Stanford to repair a ruptured quad tendon, the recovery resulted in the inability to bend my leg and lots of pain. After two sessions a week for several months, I regained full range of motion with no pain. Plus, strength building with Brandan’s guidance has allowed me to resume my normal activities with confidence. Surgery is only part of the solution; professional PT is the rest.

BB, Woodside, CA

My back and neck have been attached to Brandan Pesa for over five years, and they are both far better for it. He’s a true professional, extremely knowledgeable and informative, and a lot of fun to be with. Very highly recommended

RS, Portola Valley, CA

Brandan is a miracle worker!!! I've worked with Brandan for over 3 years for physical therapy after a horrible bicycle accident. Before I saw him I couldn't even turn my head to the side without extreme pain. Now I have a much more manageable function level, and when things get out of balance, Brandan is right there to help me get back on track. Brandan takes the time to explain x-rays, MRIs, etc to you and has given me more insight into my condition than the over a dozen doctor's I've seen over the years. He gave me hope for a better life when I was struggling everyday. I cannot more highly recommend his team for any issues you may be facing due to fresh or old injuries. He will be able to get you back on track.

MP, Atherton, CA

From the moment I walked in, until the last session when I walked out I was treated kindly and professionally. Each therapist I worked with was well trained and knowledgeable about my surgery, strengths and limits. Most importantly the therapist spends the entire hour working with you. My therapist, Allen, helped me with exercises, stretches and methods to increase my strength, balance and endurance. All of these activities helped me with a successful recovery from knee surgery. I am most appreciative to all that helped me through my recovery.

NJ, San Diego, CA

Having undergone treatment at six other PT centers in San Diego, I can confidently state that none of them matched the high quality and personalized care I received and I attribute this to the exceptional knowledge, attentiveness, and compassion exhibited by my physical therapist, Allen Kao.

CC, San Diego, CA

Brandan's empathy and fine tuning a program for you are unmatched. So many physical therapists seem to have a cookie cutter approach and will want to see you every week indefinitely. I never felt like with him, everything is tailored to your needs and he never pressures you to make multiple appointments. I could not recommend him more highly.
