  Dr Nader was fantastic! He ensured my comfort for the entire duration of the appointment and was very detail oriented. He was very knowledgeable and was able to adjust his methods based on my feedback, providing me personalized recovery instructions. I will certainly be heading back to Dr Nader and DNA Physical Therapy!

  I am extremely grateful to Dr. Amir. The level of care that I am receiving is incredible. Following his first assessment I received a detailed workout plan, videos included. I am recovering from spinal cord surgery that left me with severe nerve pain and difficulty standing straight. After 7 weeks I am walking straight without a brace or walker and have cut my pain medication down to half. I am delighted!

  This review is long overdue!  I have been working with Dr Amer since June 2022 as I was awaiting an ankle replacement.  Within 2 months, he increased my range of motion by 50% in two directions and 100% in the other two.  It is now July of 2023. Although my ankle is still deformed, I am pain free and continue to increase ROM and strength. I was able to ski hard in the backcountry for 40 days this winter, rock climb, swim and bike.  He is not just a good PT, but super conscientious and cares deeply about his patients quality of life.  He goes the extra mile in researching to fully understand our issues.  Stay tuned for my next review after he fixes my latest minor ski injury :)

  I’ve had a terrific PT experience with Dr. Amer. This was one of my first experiences with PT and I had an injured foot/ankle. Dr. Amer was thoughtful and took his time at assessing the problem, and in each session we saw improvements. What I really appreciate is his willingness to take time and explain the problem and provide ways to improve, while in our sessions and things I can do at home. Dr. Amer is extremely professional and knowledgeable, and helps put you at ease during each session. If you’re looking for a PT, I can’t recommend Dr. Amer enough!

  Dr. Nader has the most soothing energy & is extremely knowledgeable. Not only did he release my hips and shoulders but he gave me the best post bodywork high  .. when you feel one hundred percent again … in both body and mind.

  Dr Amer has been diligent in trying to find the source of my pain. He’s constantly doing research and trying to educate me on it as well. He’s a good guy to be around and a great physical therapist. 5/5 would recommend

  Dr. Amer provided my post-surgery physical therapy immediately following a knee reconstruction. I attribute my rapid and successful recovery to his early care and guidance. He took the time to assess my individual (and not typical) needs, and provided an effective and motivational rehabilitation plan during those early crucial weeks after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Nader Amer for the skill and care that he brings to his patients' needs.

  I was planning on running a half marathon in Zion Natl Park when 7 weeks before the race I pulled my calf.  I tried resting, massage, rolling, heat--you name it but my calf wouldn't get better.  Desperatly, I reached out to Dr. Nader and he gave me lots of physical therapy homework to do.  I did my due diligence and a week before the race my calf seemed a lot better.  I decided to go through with the race knowing I could reinjure myself, but I ended up running injury free and placing 52 overall female out of 500 racers and 8th in my age group. Thanks so much Dr. Nader!!!  I'll be contacting you for any future PT needs.
