I don’t leave a lot of reviews. My neck was so tight and I was in so much pain before coming here. I was referred previously to a different physical therapy office once before and it did not help me at all. I seen Derek and he taught me different exercises and stretches I could do to help elevate the pain. My c4 through c7 is not in good shape due to sitting at a desk most of my life. I didn’t think there was end in sight for my pain. I’m not 100% but I am 90% better. I also seen Caesar and John. They were both awesome as well. Huge shot out to all of you guys. I’m so sad my sessions are over now.
From the moment you walk in the door of Montoya Physical Therapy and Wellness, you are in the best of hands. Yes. The front desk clerks are friendly, efficient, and professional. You are reassured during the evaluation meeting by Rick's questions, knowledge, and empathy. And then, there's the incredible team of therapists and aides that not only explain the exercises and oversee your execution of them, they LISTEN to you and make adjustments according to your needs and goals. A shoutout for Jonathan, Emily, Bree, Jacquie, Jocelynne, and Ethan who worked with me to make my sessions exactly as I needed them to be. I appreciate and value this fine group and the strength they've rebuilt in me.
If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, look no further than Montoya Physical Therapy and Wellness. Rick Montoya is truly an angel on earth. When my teenage daughter was facing surgery, she was scared, and as a family, we were all emotional and very overwhelmed. But from the moment we met Rick, everything changed. His calm presence, deep compassion, and expert care gave us hope and comfort during one of the most difficult times in our lives. Rick not only prepared my daughter physically before her surgery, but he also helped her (and I both) emotionally—building her strength, confidence, and trust. After surgery, he was just as incredible, guiding her recovery with patience, kindness, and unwavering support. You can tell Rick is a man of God by the way he treats his patients and in everything he does—with love, faith, and genuine care. We are forever grateful for Montoya Physical Therapy and Wellness.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Montoya Physical Therapy is truly amazing! I came here mid 2024 after being diagnosed with patellar instability in my left knee, and honestly, I was worried that physical therapy wouldn’t work for me. The first few sessions were tough—after living with knee pain for so long, trying to correct it felt like an uphill battle. But thanks to Darcy and the incredible team, I kept pushing through, and over time, I got stronger. By the end of my therapy, I was able to complete all my exercises with ease, and my sessions started feeling more like a great workout rather than therapy! The deep tissue massage was definitely painful, but it helped my knee so much—like they say, no pain, no gain! I was actually sad when I got better because I truly enjoyed coming here, but I’m beyond grateful for my recovery. If I ever need physical therapy again, I know exactly where I’m going! Huge thanks to Montoya Physical Therapy and the amazing PT assistants who were always so kind and supportive. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need of top-notch physical therapy!
I’ve had several surgeries over the years, and I think I’ve been to every physical therapist in Bakersfield. I’ve had two lower back surgeries in the last six months. I have found that I have difficulty walking and balance issues post surgery. I am extremely happy that I came to Montoya physical therapy and wellness. The therapist and their assistance therapists, including the front office staff are all professional, nice, and just a joy to be around. I certainly hope I don’t have any more surgeries, but if I do, I certainly will return back here to Montoya physical therapy due to the professionalism their staff exhibits to their clients. Thank you!
