I know there are several people in San Francisco on this forum so I wanted to see if anyone could recommend a good physical therapist that has experience dealing with ADR clients post-op. I've been through numerous PTs in the Bay Area over the years and none have experience with ADR. I'm thinking about trying St. Marys since they work with some of Dr. Zucherman's patients but any referrals would be appreciated. I'm planning to start PT after I get the OK from my surgeon in a few wks.
Also any referrals to a good pain management doctor would be helpful.
Thanks so much for your help! Feel free to PM me.
