We found AZOPT quite by accident and boy are we glad we did. The personal attention given by Kennedy Drew and staff is amazing. We have been to the "big" PT outfits and you are treated like a number. The contrast between the two places is: AZOPT They engage with the patients and truly are concerned about their recovery. Big PT-not at all!

Wow!!!!! Thank you so much Nancy for referring me over to your office for Physical Therapy !!! Thank you for also being so accommodating and making sure I get, scheduled, rescheduled and scheduled again with my crazy life! Having so many different therapy times because My schedule makes it difficult to always keep the same day/time left me with the blessed opportunity to work with everyone in the office!! Drew, Kennedy, Tyler and Taylor have absolutely been the best! Pushing me where I needed pushing! Politely letting me know I wasn't where I needed to be in the beginning; reminding me that I had to do the work on my own as well! I truly appreciate all your kindness and professionalism !! All of you are so amazing at what you do! Thank you for putting up with me! I appreciate you for not only helping me get my knee back to working order, but for the daily conversations about life and the weekly this or that board! And thank you for the additional assistance with all the other broken body parts and ideas on what I can do for stretching and helping myself out ! Getting to come be a part of the office while getting my PT done has truly been a pleasure!

Again….they are the best! I have been to AzOPT Gilbert twice in the last 3 years, first for recovery of broken shoulder and broken wrist. Just completed another session recovering from a total knee replacement. Drew is the best, along with Kennedy and Tyler. They work with your needs and listen to your desired outcome (even if it’s beyond normal) to come up with the the plan of therapy to attain it. Hands on therapists, no techs, your appointment time is with Them. I recommend them to everyone! Although I hope to not be a patient again, they are definitely my only consideration if I need to. From the moment you walk in the door and speak with Nancy, to the day you “graduate”, you are always seen as a person, and not a number or a time slot on the books. They genuinely care.

It seems every season for the past 4 years- i wind up at AZOPT. I’m recovering from my second knee replacement and lucky me - Drew hasn’t retired. For all those who fear the”Pain and Torture,” going to PT after surgery- at AZOPT and the hands of a magician (Drew)- I actually look forward to the treatments. Drew knows how to motivate, to aide in the healing process and is patient with this ole fart. I am so very fortunate to be under his care and Tyler’s too!!
The best support team for quick recovery

Recently had full left knee replacement surgery on Dec 8th, 2025. Within about a week and a half after surgery started looking for a local physical therapy online and came across AzOPT
In Gilbert AZ, All I can say is what an excellent place for my left knee recovery. Great staff, flexible hours. I’m very grateful for physical therapist Kennedy, she is wonderful, friendly and professional. She has gotten a lot of my left knee range of motion back,still
Have more sessions left and look forward to my visits . I highly recommend Kennedy and AzOPT for your PT. I can’t thank them enough. I’ll be having my right knee replacement surgery in the near future and will definitely be back for my recovery. Look no where else, this is your place for PT.

I fractured my sacrum several months ago. Walking was VERY painful. I have been working with Kennedy for several months and she has me walking up to 4 miles a day. She is quite pleasant to work with, but has an ability to motivate me to work hard at rehab. I have been to a different rehab clinic in the area and I stopped going because the therapists did not seem to care and certainly did not motivate me to go or work hard. Thanks Kennedy and AZOPT (Cooper and Guadalupe)

A unique feature of AZOPT in Gilbert is that every session is one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist—no aides or assistants. Most of my sessions have been with Kennedy, and she’s been fantastic. She listens, addresses my concerns, and adjusts my treatments as needed. I’ve made great progress thanks to her expertise.
.
The environment is calm and never rushed, and Kennedy always takes time to explain the “why” behind each movement. I feel heard, motivated, and confident in my recovery. I highly recommend AZOPT and Kennedy!

AzOPT Gilbert is awesome and effective, I'm almost tempted to get injured again just to hang out with the therapists! Seriously though, the team masterfully blends knowledge and compassion. They pushed me exactly as much as needed, curing stubborn issues other places couldn't. They're part miracle-workers, and dedicated to help others who walk in their front door. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to start physical therapy.

I very highly recommend Azopt. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I suffered for close to 9 months with dizziness. I met with several other providers and while the dizziness improved slightly it never went away. Nancy at Azopt was so nice. She helped schedule me the day I called with Tyler. Tyler was very thorough. He did a handful of tests to confirm the cause and within less than 20 minutes cured my dizziness. I finally have my life back. Thank you Tyler!! Tyler is very knowledgeable in his field. I can’t recommend him enough!!! I’m so grateful for his help. Thank you so much to the team at Azopt!!

Incredible Post-Surgery Recovery Support!
I came to Drew at AzOPT after a total ankle replacement, and the care I received was outstanding. He created a personalized plan that helped me regain strength and mobility faster than I expected. Professional, compassionate, and truly skilled- highly. I recommend to anyone recovering from surgery or injury!!

Went to AZOPT after my husband had such great results with them. I was having back and hip issues. I had severe pain walking, sleeping, sitting.
It was horrible!
Drew the Physical therapist gave me some exercises that helped .relieve some of the pain. I later started working with Kennedy another therapist. They are the most professional, knowledgeable, and caring staff I have ever experienced. I worked with Kennedy about three months and I am now able to sleep all night, turn over in bed, walk all day at work,and have nearly no back pain or issues.
I cannot say enough good things about both Drew and Kennedy. I would recommend them to anyone needing PT. I have been to other PT places.before and will only go to AZOPT from now on.
Five stars isn't enough for them. Forever grateful for all the help I got from them!

This place is great. Everyone from the Physical Therapist to the front ladies are amazing people. I had Drew for PT and he was awesome. I broke my ankle and had to come here for about a month and he made the time fly by. I'm not sure if you get to choose where to go for PT, but if you do, this is the place. I want to thank everyone for being so friendly and I hope i never need PT again, but if I do, I hope its here. (P.S. I'm proud of you Drew for petting the tarantula 😅)

2nd review- I have been seeing Kennedy and she has been amazing. She is on vacation and I saw another therapist. He was amazing. Right now I have been feeling so much relief. My pain is like zero right now! God bless this place and their amazing therapists.

1st review- I have been to 2 other physical therapists in the East Valley and I had slow progress after visiting them several times. I only have had one appointment here so far and I had immediate pain relief. I’m beyond grateful for finding a place with an amazing therapist that knows what she is doing!

I would highly recommend AzOPT Gilbert. The PTs (Kennedy and Drew) have worked diligently and thoughtfully to help me unravel physical issues and regain strength. The environment is professional, calm, and welcoming. They do not use PT assistants, so sessions are very individualized with skilled physical therapists. Scheduling is easy, with good appointment availability. Billing has been smooth. Nancy at the front desk is helpful and friendly. Overall, a great place to do PT.

We’ve been part of the KidsPlace Family for two years now and have snagged some wonderful therapists for my girl. My daughter loves Miss Eliza, Miss Dana, and Miss Sarah. The front office staff, including Miss Janelly, is communicative and helpful. We’ve loved seeing Gemma’s improvements and this group of therapists have encouraged her each step of the way!

First I was greeted very warmly with any questions answered completely with the honesty that I appreciated. When seen by the therapists I experienced understanding and information I could easily understand even though I had difficulty in performing the tasks at times. Everyone was happy to provide assistance in any way needed to progress in the therapy. I have had physical therapy in other settings but I consider this the best I have ever received in all aspects. Thanks so much for all your assistance in helping me and making it fun!

When picking a place to rehab you have choices and many choices. I can say without a doubt this is by far the best facility i have ever had the pleasure being involved in. It's never fun to rehab and not always pain free but Drew and Kennedy listen and only push you as far as your body will allow! Highly recommend now and for any future needs. Thank you

If I could give 15 stars I would! This is my 3rd time with Kennedy and I couldn’t be happier to have such a therapist that cares and helps me through any injury. My first visit with Kennedy was for my knees and helped strengthen my knees to get back to some of the things I love. About 8 months ago I broke my foot and needed surgery and I went back to Kennedy for therapy and within less than 15 visits I got back to rock climbing and working out. Unfortunately I got injured 6 months later with a dislocated elbow but fortunately I was able to get yet another session with Kennedy and slowly I am getting back to normal. She focuses on incorporating the sports I’m involved in when it came to my recovery all 3 times. The entire office is such a pleasure to visit! Nancy is also so nice in greeting me and always in communication with me if anything changes with insurance or appointments and we always have a great chat while I wait for my appointment to start. I’ve had a few sessions with Drew during my knee therapy and just like Kennedy, just as wonderful! I don’t enjoy getting hurt and needing therapy but I know that I will always have a place that makes me feel welcomed and always gets me back to my normal activities and back on my feet in no time!

Drew helped me recover from difficult shoulder surgery. He knew just how much to push me, and I recovered ahead of schedule.
He is a great therapist, and a really nice person, who obviously cares a lot about his patients. I highly recommend AZOpt!!

I have had to go to various physical therapy places for different injuries and this one is by far my favorite! The one on one attention and personalized exercises has helped my ankle heal! All staff are friendly and knowledgeable!
I would like to express my sincere thanks for all the treatment I received for my neck, shoulders, arms and wrists . The stretching maneuvers Kennedy Greene taught me with worked wonders to gradually restore my physical well being. Thanks again.

I was self admitted for knee pain and they fixed me right up. Not too long after that, I returned for tennis elbow. They fixed me again. Shortly after that, I was in a car accident and injured pretty badly and had to return. That took almost a year to get back to normal. The staff here did a great job! They treat you like family. I’ll be back…to visit and say hi.
