Austin – South Congress – Texas Physical Therapy Specialists

Gracias por la atención recibida y los cuidados que hicieron que mi recuperacion fuera exelente. Son los mejores terapeutas.

I wish I could give 10 stars! I hurt my low back in 2010 and have been in and out of a few physical therapists for the past 15 years. At the beginning of this year my condition was terrible. My back hurt 100% of the time and my legs were atrophied to point that I was having a hard time standing and keeping my balance. I got a referral from my doctor and went to Texas Physical Therapy Specialist.

I went to the William Cannon office, and they set me up with Dr. Marlo Mereno. He is by far the best therapist I've ever seen. After the first two visit I already felt better than I have in years! He is really good at being a coach and helped keep me on the routine. I would explain the pain I was having and he would show me the exercises to target that and after a few days that pain would be gone. After six months I feel better than I did before I hurt my back 15 years ago. I went in just hoping to get some strength back in my legs and maybe not quite as much back pain and came out with my life back. After six months I bought a kayak and now enjoy kayak fishing on the weekends. I never thought I would be able to do that again. Thank you, Marlo!

I cannot recommend them enough. I hope I don't get hurt again, but I know where I'm going if I do!

Thank you for your attention, good job

Texas Physical Therapist Specialist are absolutely amazing! I was involved in a head on collision, with an uninsured motorists and suffered multiple injuries. I’m so appreciative and grateful to the entire team! It took a village to get me moving again. They are knowledgeable, friendly and caring! From the moment you walk in you are greeted with the friendliness people I’ve ever met, they make you feel welcomed and seen. Thank you again for all you do, every day! With much respect and gratitude. Lydia 🥰

Colin Amick gave me my life back. I am a senior citizen. I have knee problems compounded by arthritis. I dreaded having to have a knee replacement.Through careful planning, Colin helped me regain strength and balance. I can walk a mile again. My Outlook on life is 100% better. He then directed me To look into a personal trainer that I may continue the progress I have made under his tutelage. Thank you, Colin. I am Forever in your debt.

The staff at Texas Physical Therapy Specialists are amazing!! I would highly recommend for anyone needing physical therapy!!

Tony and his team are absolutely wonderful! From the moment I walked in, they were warm, welcoming, and attentive to all of my questions. I came in with hip discomfort that had been bothering me for some time, and through their guidance and focus on getting to the root of the issue, I can now move with ease. Even better, I’ve learned how to manage and mitigate any flare-ups on my own.

I’m so grateful for their patience, education, and the fun energy they bring to each session. It was not only effective, but also a truly enjoyable experience. Thank you all—you’re the best!

I needed PT for a shoulder issue. Everyone was positive, helpful, and friendly. Jordan Denney in particular was instrumental at getting me back to feeling normal. She was able to pinpoint and address what I was struggling with and built me back up both physically and mentally. I felt heard and supported. Thank you Jordan and team!!

The therapists really care about getting you well and they take extremely great care of you. Your recovery is their top priority. I am truly grateful and thankful to Tony, Jordan, and the entire team for getting me back on my feet!!

The therapists and everyone who works in the back are amazing. However, the receptionist at the front is insanely rude. They don’t know you, and when you ask for help, they look at you like you are interrupting them or you are a bother. Yes, Veronica and Natalie, I’m talking about you. DO BETTER AND DON'T HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR PATIENCE. EVERYONE DESERVES THE SAME ACKNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDE!

I have had Greg Hon for seven sessions at the S. Congress location. So far I am very happy with the level of care I have recieved for my wrist issues.

I go to the location on Congress. Veronica and Natalie at the front desk are great they go above and beyond

TL/DR: I cannot say enough good things about this place. 6/5 🌟. Highly recommend.

Dr. Colin, Mr. Ray and the entire team at the SoCo location have been extraordinary. I had a full hip replacement and after my first visit I felt some relief! Their ability to target the proper areas and adjust therapy as progress is made is truly amazing, natural healers using their gifts.

Great team, from the front desk to the therapists. Everyone is professional, courteous and friendly. I wish I’d gone to see them a lot sooner than I did!

Thanks, to PT Adria Saldivar and team. 2024 has been a very difficult yr for me. After recovering for 3 months from back surgery, i was still dealing with sciatic pain in my legs and having a difficult time waking etc. I spent 6 weeks in PT with Adria, and she is an amazing PT. She gave me homework to do and I followed through. I am, sooo much better today!
Thank you soo much Adria!

I was very impressed with all the staff at physical therapy. John, Jordan, Samuel, Maria, and Carlos..all contributed to my well being. There were others who helped. If I still need more therapy and hope all of you will be there if I return. You are so organized and accommodating. Thank you..hope I got all the names right. Suppot staff too!

If you're considering physical therapy, don't wait. Michael is awesome, and this location is highly recommend. Superior effective.

Great therapists

I just wanted to thank the staff and especially Adria for her help with my elbow. Working with Adria was an absolute pleasure! She was knowledgeable, available, and creative when prescribing PT. The staff were all friendly and the vibe was great, you could tell they all get along and love what they do.
Do yourself a favor, book with this team! You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Tony is an amazing PT! With a short amount of time I'm back to feeling new. To all the staff who helped during my process thank you so much you're all GREAT!

Supportive, knowledgeable staff. My therapist helped me with my actual physical issues, as well as my confidence. I’d recommend them to anyone who needs physical therapy. They’re really excellent.

Came back to change the review after getting in touch with the Director of the clinic, Tony, who clearly cares very much about running a good business that takes care of their clients. They invested the time and energy into my case and demonstrated that I am a valued customer by looking into my insurance claims as well as taking the time to ask the tough questions within their own departments. They made things right and kept to the original business agreements. I really appreciate their commitment to customer care and customer service and the level of communication they initiated, specifically relating to my unique case where I have a high deductible insurance plan --which are not always easy to navigate. Thanks again TPTS.

I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Tony Lauretta and his staff at Austin-South Congress Texas Physical Therapy Specialists for my Physical Therapy needs.
Tony is an excellent Administrator and Therapist. He has an ongoing rapport with his staff attending to their supervisory needs and runs a clean orderly well equipped gymnasium. He is a problem solver quick to discover and assess even minor deficiencies which may emerge. This results in a harmonious friendly work environment with helpful and mutually supportive workers.

I received excellent care from Tony as a Therapist. I was also able to observe his treatment of others.. He was very caring and attentive to them. He displayed high level assessment skills with a wide mixture of afflictions.

The associate and assistant therapists were well educated and skillful. The technicians were alert and very helpful initiating and sustaining the prescribed exercises.
Additionally I was especially impressed by the front clerical staff. Extra efficient and organized but also friendly and very kind to the needs of the entering and exiting patients.

Respectfully Submitted.

I love all the physical therapist who work at Texas Physical Therapy Specialist. They really get you motivated to do your exercises you need to do to get better. I would recommend TPT.

Dr. Burbank has helped me recover from Long Covid where I struggle with balance, strength, and fatigue. I can't thank Dr. Burbank enough for being creative with the treatment plan that challenges me, but at a certain pace where I can accomplish the treatment. At times, I do feel like she is stretched a little thin as she is working with multiple patients at once. Maria is also great and keeps me on track during my sessions.

Today I saw Dr. Scalzo for my 1st session. She listened as I gave my history & stated all movements as we went through them. I didn’t realize how much she helped me until later during afternoon stretches -I had no increased pain for the first time in months. Great to know I’ll recover from my injury. So thankful!

The staff is professional yet friendly, warm, and welcoming. My PT, Adria, was especially wonderful to work with. She really knows how to foster a good, conversational relationship with her patients while still effectively addressing the issue at hand (or knee in my case). Almost sad I don't have to go anymore 🙂
