Yoshimoto Physical Therapy

Dr. Dean Yoshimoto is AMAZING!!!My mom has been suffering from extreme knee pain for some time now, and even seeing a sports medicine doctor and physical therapists back at home in Chicago, nothing was working - the pain was still there, if not more so, and there was never a clear answer or a treatment plan that was offered by any of the specialists.Here comes Dr. Yoshimoto, who literally decreased my mom's knee pain by 90% after 1 visit. Yes, you heard that right - 90%!!! He was extremely patient, kind, and really broke it down in terms of pinpointing what exactly was going on, what treatment was needed, and what exercises to do at home. He was so shocked and was left speechless that my mom was dealing with inept individuals all this time - clowns, I tell you! Unbelievable.You can tell that Dr. Yoshimoto genuinely cares for each of his patients. He's not the typical physical therapist who gives you some stretches to do, hooks you up to a muscle stimulating machine, and/or gives you a head pad and calls it a day. He actually tries to target the source of pain!I am so grateful that I was able to find him for my mom, and I was actually kind of serious when I told her that maybe she should consider moving to HI permanently, just for him. AHAHAHAThank you, Dr. Yoshimoto - you are the bomb dot com!+Dr. Dean Yoshimoto!+friendly front desk

Dean and his team of quality PTs rehabilitated me after a foot surgery. Not only did they massage and work on my foot mobility during sessions they also also gave home exercises that worked in tandem with my gym program to strength my many weak foot muscles. What I really was impressed about was that they found the root cause of why I was having foot problems in the first place. Through training and muscle building of areas that seemedcounterintuitive to my base foot injury, I adjust my walking stride as a preventative measure to future injury. That is the type of expertise Yoshimoto PT brings to their patients.

Dr Dean was able to see me immediately upon referral for rehabilitation of my sprained ankle and leg weakness/difficulty balancing problems. His experience, caring and compassionate service were totally appreciated. He further took personal time to discuss his concerns with my neurologist. His office staff was highly accommodating and very efficient. Fully validated parking.

Hands Down! Shoulder Moving! The best PT I have ever had. I have a large bone spur under my rotator cuff and it became inflamed. I could not move my arm up or out from my body. I was in the worst pain that I have ever been in and it was so excruciating, i cried through most of it. Dean Yoshimoto was able to immediately take me in and had rearranged his day off to do so. He worked on my shoulder/arm 2x a week for the entire hour and immediately I was relieved of pain little by little and by Week 3 I was moving it again. I cannot express enough the gratitude I have for Dean and his Staff alleviating the pain and getting my arm working again. I will need surgery to remove the spur and then I will be right back at Yoshimoto PT for recovery! Mahalo to Dean and his Staff! :)

Dr. Robert Atkinson of Orthopedic Associates gave me an authorization for physical therapy on my calves and ankle. HMSA's contracted mainland company authorized me to have 6 physical therapy sessions.This is my 2nd time to Yoshimoto Physical Therapy this year. I like this place because it so convenient. My evaluation and treatment plan was done last week by part time staff Lisa. Lisa and Jason gave me some stretching exercise to help my calves and ankle.

I have just finished 6 months of PT with Dean Yoshimoto and couldn't be more satisfied. Dean first helped me several years ago and I was very happy with his services. It wasn't just the overall result of physical improvement but also the personal comfort and care that I received that made a difference. I have worked with other PT's in the past but none compared to Dean. When I fractured my ankle last summer and needed outpatient PT, I immediately only thought of Dean for treatment.Of course, he's really skilled and experienced as a therapist, identifying and explaining problem areas and expertly working on strengthening, flexibility and range of motion. Besides hands on massaging, we also did some machine and floor work. He also patiently and repeatedly showed me exercises to do on my own and helped evaluate the effectiveness of different shoes that I brought in. He also suggested and demonstrated hand-held massagers. The testimonials already speak to Dean's attributes as a highly trained experienced therapist and his thoughtful engaging style. I won't repeat but will instead pass on one anecdote about his unique compassion for his patients and his work.When my current round of treatment started, my first appointment was mostly evaluation and discussion. I was looking forward to the second appointment to get therapy really started. But the only time available was a Friday at 5:00. But I got a call that Friday afternoon that Dean's 4:00 cancelled so could I come in at 4:00 instead. Sure, I could avoid some traffic and start my weekend! When I arrived, I say to Dean something like "you must be glad that you're 4:00 cancelled. Now you don't have to stay for my 5:00 and wait until 6 to leave on a Friday night. You can go home earlier!" No, he shakes his head, "the 4:00 patient really could use therapy on her injury. I wish she didn't have to miss the appointment." Wow, I was surprised and impressed by his dedication and genuine interest in the progress and well-being of his patient! He has his priorities in order for our benefit, even on a Friday night.Dean loves what he does and is great at what he does. We are lucky to have him in our community. Thank you Dean and the Yoshimoto PT staff!

Dean Yoshimoto is an awesome guy! He gave me a lot of good advice and more. I had injured my piriformis muscle playing pickle ball back in November 2023. I was referred to Dean by my Doctor in January 2024 cause it was taking too long to heal. I'm glad I I did go in and had my injury evaluated, come to found out I was too stiff and not flexible. So Dean had me do no worries exercises and stretches. He even massage my back muscles, and elbow that piriiformis muscle which felt really great and after doing this for 6 weeks I felt better. I was able to twist, bend and my injured muscles got better. Till one day a car hit me in the cross walk and spinned me to the ground. Because of the exercise and stretching I'm been doing I was okay with no body pain. We all need to learn to exercise and stretch as we get older.

Dean Yoshimoto and his staff are all excellent, knowlegdgeable physical therapists who help people through their recovery needs.; I met them after a surgery. Most of my sessions have been with Dean, who has the talented hands one comes across every once in a while that act like x-ray machines. His hands can "see" everything and he knows the whys and hows to find anythng that is aggrevating the problem and, through massage and exercises, to reduce the problem and heal the patient. I have also seen several members of his staff, who are also extremely competent at resolving pain and immobility problems. All of the staff are friendly and eager to help. This place is so unlike those "factory physical therapy places" which put everyone throug the same general program of 10 minutes of this and 10 minutes of that, regardless of their individual needs. They have pretty generous hours, which can fit most people's schedules as well. I am glad i found them.

Wonderful experience. Dean has helped me recover and gain a new confidence. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone dealing with pain issues. They are extremely professional. I am lucky to get treatment there. Thank you.
