In middle school, my brother broke his leg while we were messing around in the back yard. My mom said that since I was partially to blame for his injury, then I was to be his main caretaker at home. Naturally, it started with “get me this and that, get me ice cream, etc.”, but eventually, I was helping him with his crutches and then his leg and balance exercises. I felt a sense of pride with my brother’s full recovery and decided to pursue P.T. professionally. After earning a B.S. in Biology, I studied at Boston University where I earned my MSPT in Physical Therapy.
I worked at and eventually managed an outpatient P.T. clinic in Vallejo, CA for ten years, then spent 7 plus years at a post-acute rehab center in Danville, CA where I gained experience in treating patients with strokes, amputations, total hip and knee replacements, fractures from falls and a host of other diagnoses.
Outside of work, I fancy myself as an amateur entomologist and have an extensive butterfly collection. As for my brother – he owns an ice cream shop in L.A.

I earned doctorate degree from Arcadia University of Pennsylvania. I chose to join this team because of the commitment to quality of care that this team provides to their patients daily. I enjoy my work with a variety of patients and helping them achieve their goals.

My main goal is to see my patients through their rehabilitation with support, treatment, patience and build relationships that can lead to a better health success.

Hey! I’m Ishani. I received my Bachelor’s in Physical Therapy from India and later received my DPT from Loma Linda University in California. My training and clinical experience has included working in several different settings such as outpatient orthopedics, in-patient acute and post-acute care, neurological rehabilitation and cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation. After working in these various settings I have found outpatient orthopedics to be an area of my prime interest.
I firmly believe that along with providing exceptional skilled physical therapy, values such as kindness, patience and holding unconditional positive regard toward patients is necessary for patient care. I strive to empower my patients/caregivers with lucid translation of my medical knowledge. It is important for me that my patients are able to understand their pain and purpose of physical therapy and therefore have complete control of their care. I try to approach my patients holistically and emphasize the importance of building small habits that will put them in the right direction toward their health. I have extensive experience in dealing with orthopedic post-operative conditions, overuse/repetitive strain injuries, chronic pain, postural dysfunctions, incorrect gait, work-related injuries and traumatic injuries. I am fluent in English, Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi. In my personal time I enjoy travelling, taking my dog on hikes, meditating, practicing yoga and painting.

Hey, I’m Michael!

Hi, I’m Leslie Matejcek and I’m a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA). I earned my BS in Exercise and Sport Science from the University of Alabama (Roll Tide) and my PTA degree from Carrington College. I’ve always had a fascination with the human body, how it works, how it responds and how it heals. Healthcare was always where I was going to end up and when physical therapy was introduced to me during a random college course, I knew it was the field for me. I absolutely love helping patients return to the activities they love and enjoy and you will usually find me doing exercises with my patients. In my spare time I enjoy working out, reading and hanging out with my three dogs (Bruce, Indy and Goose).
