Sam is THE BEST! His knowledge and insight make him a pleasure to work with and an excellent resource for information regarding your specific health needs. The fact that he’s independent of my insurance provided PT allows him the flexibility for lengthy one on ones where he can aid with assisted stretching and treatment, educate you about your injury and treatment, and provide a game plan for how to properly address your rehab at home. I’ve seen Sam regarding a number of injuries over the years and the contrast to insurance-provided PT is stark. The one on one atmosphere offers his full attention and is free of distraction. It’s all about YOU. I couldn’t encourage folks more to see Sam for any physical therapy needs. He’s the BEST!

Nancy Somit I was looking for a physical therapist near me who could see me quickly. On an internet search Dr. Sam’s name came up. The testimonials sounded glowing. When I interviewed him over the phone he seemed so comfortable talking about his credentials that I knew he was skilled and could provide the treatment I needed. My first session with him was more than I hoped for. Not only was he competent but he was warm and attentive to the process. I have been to PT before and although those providers were competent it felt like they were doing their job as they went from patient to patient. Dr.Sam is passionate about what he does and his sole purpose was to explain, encourage and provide information and support while also making sure I did each exercise properly. At the end to the first session I had such relief from my vertigo that I felt like I saw a miracle man! I had one other session to make sure the vertigo was completely resolved and it was! He then addressed and provided exercises that are helping my arthritic hip. When I am back in town I will certainly return should any issues arise. He is an A+ professional and I recommend him without reservation. Just be prepared for a tiny office containing an enormous amount of skill and compassion. Thank you Dr. Sam!

I started working with Dr. Sam Helfer for a meniscus injury while playing pickleball. Sam developed a rehab program tailored to my desire to get back to the game. Sam is tremendously professional, thoughtful, and encouraged me to put the work in to not only get back to the game but perform at a higher level. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone needing help. Thanks for a job well done, Sam.

I can’t say enough good things about Sam! I had been struggling with a neck/shoulder injury for over nine months before I started working with him, and he helped me make real progress when nothing else seemed to work. Sam is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated—he goes above and beyond to teach not just rehab exercises but also strength training techniques to prevent future issues. Thanks to his expertise and guidance, I’m finally back to working out like I was before the injury. I’m so grateful to have found him and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a great physical therapist!

Immediately prior to moving to Buffalo, I injured my lower back attempting a PR for a hang power clean. When I had my initial appointment with Sam, I could not lie flat on my back or straighten my legs without painful spasms. Sam’s knowledge of lower back injuries, his ability to listen, and ask appropriate questions supported my recovery. I was amazed at the recovery gains I made each week. His respect for me as a senior athlete also made a positive difference in my recovery. I am training again thanks to Sam’s care and support.
