Testimonials

Our clients love our friendly staff and our variety of services. Below is a sampling of letters of thanks and support which we have received.

I spent most of my childhood in and out of hospitals for very high fevers and allergies. It was either big tubs of ice … or needles. I am a PHOBIC! I had not seen a doctor in about 30 years. Put me in a dentist’s chair and I shake uncontrollably, tears stream down my face … I can’t stop them. My mind is terrified, I cannot function.

Last winter, while walking, I was hit by a truck. I had no choice but to see doctors … many different doctors. Finally, I met Dr. Cunha at Milwaukie Rehab. With care, understanding and lots of patience, they were able to clam my fears and earn my trust. Everything was explained thoroughly. I was treated with tenderness, care and courtesy. There was always a nice smile and cheerful greeting throughout my sessions – Always going the extra mile to soothe pain and pick my spirits up to help me heal inside as well as outside.

Dr. Cunha spent a lot of time and effort helping me find a Primary Care doctor I could communicate with and took the extra time to understand who and what I am as a person.

The office ladies, the massage therapists and doctors were always pleasant and thorough and I will recommend them as “The One” to any Phobic like me. Put your fears to rest … you’re in the hands of “The Best!”

I have suffered for over 10 years with severe hip pain. After spending a lot of time and money with so many doctors, I found Gateway Sports Medicine. Dr. Yu fixed my hip issues in less than three months. I can dance, run, bike, hike … like I used to.

I will always come back to see Dr. Yu and recommend him to all my friends and family.

Hi, my name is Skyler Kurtz. I began therapy at Gateway Sports Medicine in 2006. I was 10 years old starting my therapy because of an injury I received while my mom was in labor with me… I have been attending different therapy places throughout my life.

Since I have been going to Gateway I have gotten 30% of the use in my right arm which I never had… The results are amazing considering the amount of therapy I have had through my life.

I love the therapist that works with me and I never mind any of the staff – everyone is quick to say hello and make me feel at home.

Thank you for all of your hard work. We love you guys.

I came in with a stiff shoulder, having accepted my limitations in motion, but following through on my primary care provider’s recommendation for physical therapy.

Visits here were not only an experience of being cared for well and with thoughtful consideration, but my shoulder is back to normal.

I had gone to 3 appointments at another clinic before I came to gateway. They were OK, but right from the beginning of my first visit at gateway, I was deeply impressed at how knowledgeable and personally interested they were in my injury.

The therapist explained my injury thoroughly using the muscle names and what I needed for the immediate future to relive my pain and make sure healing was as complete as possible. I received immediate relief!

I just wanted to thank you for offering your free chair massages at our agency. It took two rounds of massages to get me to venture out and see what your clinic had to offer. I am so glad I did! It is great how your staff reduces the biggest barrier in seeking treatment and has simplified the paper work.

The chronic back pain I have suffered with for years had become life for me, pain relievers and ice packs. Exercise was near impossible, with my knee losing its strength. After my first week of treatment with Dr. Yu, I noticed an increase in my energy level; less whining on my part and a real sense that I was being cared for.

It has been over a month now and I have put away the pain relievers and can feel my natural endorphins kick in. I am exercising again, not up to a mile yet, but I am trying. My flexibility has increased and I am sleeping better.

My co-workers have commented that I am more happy-go-lucky, and "what's up with that." Even my 13 year old son noticed my good moods in the evening, which in the past was a rough time for me.

I decided to encourage my husband and son (13) and daughter (27) to make appointments. My son suffers from Osgood-Schlatter Disease and has shed many a tear over his pain. After his last visit he commented that everyone is so nice and he feels better after each visit. My daughter had her first visit this week and is very excited to return.

Our family really appreciates the high quality of treatment and caring staff. Your services have improved our lives greatly.

Sincerely,
Cindy M.
