“Best freakin PT ever and the only PT who’s worth your time.
I couldn’t recommend her more - she’s been working with me on my shoulder pain / posture and more recently on my legs to prepare for a half.
Kristina really knows what she is doing and makes each session challenging so that you actually work and learn the right muscle activations. Have seen a noticeable improvement in my posture and form since going to see her.”

Omg!!!!! Where do I start the front desk girl is awesome super sweet and friendly. Kristina is super sweet very professional and very professional. She listened to my complaints and came up with a treatment plan that's right for me. She explained to me that in the beginning, I would be a little sore but to keep pushing myself and together we would get my body and joints back in motion. She also took time to write a note for my disability once I explained the reason for it. Trust me she is everything her reviews say but even better in person. I look forward to this journey of physical therapy with her. I feel positive and comfortable with her.

Great experience with a very knowledgeable Dr. !

Dr. Phu is amazing! She was incredibly personable and caring, taking the time to suggest several ways to stretch for my back pain, explain what to watch out for, and guide me on when and how to safely resume exercise. I left the session feeling so much better and well-informed, which gave me the confidence to tackle my recovery. My only wish is that this location accepts my insurance as in-network!

Her expertise was detailed and she was able to identify the most important factors that contributed to my back pain. I can’t wait to continue working with her and building up my strength to get back into shape & living pain free. Lucky to have found Kristina !

In my case, she treated my lower back's sciatica. Dr. Kristina improved my condition without any discomfort. I highly recommend her to future patients!

From the befinning Dr. Cristina was personable and knowledgeable. She effectively evaluated and treated my condition, and left me with a home exercise program to follow in the meantime. I will be following up with her.
