Patient Testimonials
Our #1 growth factor at RISE is word of mouth. So don't just take our word for it, hear directly from our beloved patients!
Dr. Gayed is easily the best physical therapist I’ve been to. He’s extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to properly pinpoint the source of pain. After just a few sessions, I was able to feel noticeable improvements. He gives you the exercises needed to continue to strengthen areas of weakness after the sessions end. Would highly recommend.
If you’re looking for an extremely knowledgeable therapist who is so attentive and customizes every detail of your therapy/training to your unique needs, look no further than Dr. Gayed. To give him 5 stars is an understatement.
Dr. Gayed is extremely knowledgeable and personable. As a physical therapist myself, I went to Dr. Gayed knowing I would receive excellent care. He took the time to listen to what was going on, was able to pinpoint and treat the issue, and I walked out feeling great! I would highly recommend Dr. Gayed to anybody needing Physical Therapy. I returned to Gayed for another issue and was once again so extremely happy with his. Highly highly recommend.
Dr. Gayed is very knowledgeable, respectful, attentive, and friendly. It is obvious that he loves his work and cares about his patients. I have an extremely busy schedule with long hours of commute and travels and needed a relief from my persistent pain of many months. Jon was able to make me feel better from the first session. He takes the time to systematically diagnose the root problem of the pain by ruling out all other issues through several tests and techniques. He also spends time explaining diagnosis and treatment and works one-one with his patients to achieve the best outcomes. I highly recommend him. I have worked with several others. He is the best.
Dr. Gayed is by far the best physical therapist I have seen. I have had chronic back pain for many years and he was able to relieve my pain in only 2 visits! He is very knowledgable in his field and takes the time to figure out where the pain is coming from and how to properly treat it. He also helps educate his patients on proper stretching techniques and ways to improve the problem at home. This has helped me tremendously with my back pain. It is also a very pleasant and comfortable atmosphere at Rise Rehabilitation. He's great- I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a PT!
