I had hamstring pain for 9 months. I saw other doctors, tried every type of release, and even did PRP five times — nothing really fixed it. I was still feeling it every time I tried to train or play, and I just couldn’t figure out why it kept coming back.

When I came to Dr. Vlad at Physical Therapy Doc, he took a different approach. Instead of just treating the hamstring, he checked my whole body and found that it might actually be coming from my back. So I got an MRI and it showed exactly that. I was amazed that he was able to discover that, after it's been so long for me. He explained that most people with that kind of injury, end up having to get surgery. Since I didn’t want to surgery, we went the conservative route. It took time, but we got there.

Now I’m back playing college tennis and feeling good! I love what he does and now I come in for tune-ups to keep my body moving right. I like how Vlad actually explains things, pays attention, and makes the sessions feel productive instead of repetitive. It’s a chill environment but super professional, and it’s helped me stay healthy through my first college season.

If you're in Boca Raton, you want real attention, and you for real want to solve your problems and make your body durable, I highly recommend physical therapist Dr. Vlad.

I had meniscus surgery a while ago and did PT somewhere else for about 3 months. It helped a bit, but it was all super basic. The exercises didn’t really challenge me, and when I tried to play soccer again my knee started hurting right away.

Then I started seeing Dr. Vlad at Physical Therapy Doc, and it was completely different. He noticed right away how much smaller my injured leg was. Nobody else caught that. And he explained why my knee was still bothering me. From day one the workouts were more advanced and actually felt like training, not rehab. We started rebuilding strength using BFR training, heavier lifts, and soccer-specific drills that actually made sense for what I needed.

The setup feels like a real sports facility. Turf, weights, everything. And Vlad pays attention to every rep. Everything we did felt on point for soccer. you can tell he knows the sport. My knee feels solid now and I’m back out there for my senior year tryouts, something I didn't think would happen this soon.

If you’re an athlete trying to come back right, this is the spot.

I have been going to Vlad for a few months in west boca after having spent years with constant neck and shoulder pain. I could not sleep through the night or function on a daily basis. After having worked with Vlad I can sleep and do things I love to do, i.e. ride my horse. His programs are very functional and it is not your average physical therapy, but a very personalized experience which will no doubt have you feeling better. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

As a high level competitive tennis player, my body takes a serious beating, and finding the right physical therapist for me was absolutely essential to my performance. I started working with Physical Therapy Doc in West Boca about 8 months ago after sustaining a back injury that was affecting my training and tournament play. Not only did he accurately diagnose the issue, but he also gave me personalised exercises to help rebuild strength, improve flexibility, and prevent further injury. I feel that his deep understanding of how the body functions - especially for athletes - sets him apart. Within a few days, my pain had significantly decreased, and within a couple of weeks, I was back to playing and competing at my usual intensity.

Now that my injury is resolved, our sessions are primarily focused on recovery and mobility work at the end of each training week to keep my body in peak condition heading into tournaments. I truly believe that this routine has become an essential part of my performance on court.

One of the things I appreciate most is how accommodating he is with scheduling. No matter how last-minute or specific my needs are, he always finds time for me. That level of dedication and flexibility is something I truly value.

Whether you’re a high performance athlete, recovering from an injury, or just looking to take better care of your body, I can’t recommend Physical Therapy Doc enough. He’s professional, knowledgable, and truly invested in your success - both on and off the court.
