All around wonderful experience. Dr. Felipe Mares and Francina treated me like family and I will continue to send my own family and friends to them in the future. I came to PT First following an Achilles rupture and subsequent surgery. Felipe is a highly skilled therapist who got me back to the activities I love quicker than expected. During every appointment Felipe gave me high quality care, taking the time to get to know me and tailoring my rehab accordingly. I am incredibly grateful to have had such a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated therapist. Francina also provided me with excellent service, making sure to schedule appointments that worked with my busy schedule and always treating me with kindness. I had such an excellent experience with my Achilles rehab, that I returned for rehab of an old shoulder injury. I feel comforted knowing that Felipe and Francina are providing care to the ABQ community. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Felipe helped me when I had a knee replacement got me walking in no time.very professional, knowledgeable I wouldn't trust any one else. Francine in front offic runs the front end while Felipe runs the backend very smooth running office. A few months ago I was very fortunate Felipe had an opening for me when I broke my femur and put me in water therapy I have one month left but if it wasn't for Felipe I probably would be months behind on therapy with water therapy and Felipes expertise I'm months ahead. Never felt better. I recommend this place to everyone trust me you will have the best treatment in town.

I am a runner and I went to Felipe for an evaluation of a knee issue. He is knowledgeable, thorough, caring and I am thrilled that I found him and became one of his patients. I can't wait to see him at my next appointment and for him to get me back to running.

Such a wonderful place and Felipe is incredible! They take great care of my mom who recently had a knee replacement and has many other issues from her shoulders and back.I saw Felipe for a knee issue myself after taking a bad fall and he was so attentive and considerate.They are taking all precautions right now with the pandemic from hand washing stations, temperature recording, to face masks and shields around the therapist to ensure everyone's safety.Would highly recommend them for all your p.t. needs. Thank you for all that you do!

Both of my feet were in bad shape after botched bunion surgeries. I was referred to PT First and was truly amazed at what a difference having them work with me made. Because of Felipe’s experience and personalized therapy, my left foot healed. I returned to them after having reconstructive surgery on my right foot. They have completely revamped to handle patients in this COVID crisis. The facility is spotless and Felipe is able to provide treatment at a distance. Already my foot is better and I am on the way to healing. Only a true professional who cares would be able to deliver this kind of treatment—especially now when distancing is required. To anyone in pain or who has had surgery and need physical therapy, do not hesitate to call PT First. -Beverlee

Thank you all so much for helping me! I walked in to PT FIRST in really bad shape and returned to a better lifestyle than even my doctor thought was possible. I was so impressed with the level of professional medical care at this facility. I did a wealth or research before I choose this place. I was able to do aquatic therapy in addition to hands on one-one care. Their motto or listen, treat and educate is truly practiced. I am from back east and this is a first class facility. I have sent several friends and family to them as well.

I had a bad knee and ankle. I was an avid runner but stopped. I found this place on line based on the aquatic therapy program. I was very impressed with the sophistication this place runs with. I completed my sessions and the aquatic therapy services were a game changer. I returned to running and got some piece of mind also!

I was referred to Dr. Kobos by my podiatrist for a heel problem. Dr. Kobos did a great job at the intake. and put together a therapy plan. I was upfront about my availability due to my travel schedule, and scheduled a number of appointments. I had to cancel my first appointment and and called 1st thing in the morning, I had to make an unexpected trip that same day. When I called, the receptionist asked if I would make my next appointment and said yes, because it was on a Saturday and the following week was Thanksgiving, which I would be home for. There were 3 appointments scheduled for that week. When I showed up for my Saturday appointment, I was notified that I was dropped as apatient because I was not participating in the treatment. Dr. Kobos and I discussed this and I assured him that I would do the assigned treatment when I was travelling as I am to date. I feel that it was EXTREMELY unprofessional to A) Drop me without any discussion and B) Not to call me and notify me of the cancelled appointments.

Last year, I tore my ACL from a contact injury playing soccer. I went to see Felipe for my Physical Therapy and I’m so grateful for him and his staff. You can tell Felipe and his staff cares about each of his patients equally and gives you the best possible care. He is very flexible with you and your schedule and tries to really get to know his clients. Not even a year later I’m back to running, biking, and working out. Not only did I recently run a duatholon, but I was able to push myself and get third place! Thank you for helping me get back to doing the things I love!

I had a bad fall in Sept. and fractured my tibial plateau (bone under the knee cap). After spending nearly 9 months wearing a brace and not putting any weight on my leg I needed physical therapy. The center associated with the orthopedic center I was going to couldn’t take me for 3 weeks so I got on the phone and called PT First and was thrilled they could see me the next week. They are located in a convenient location with parking just steps away from the front door. I was greeted by their friendly and competent front desk staff who checked me in right away. The owner, Felipe, met with me personally and made me feel like I was one of his most important clients. The physical therapists, Kevin, Phil and Dylan all worked with me for nearly 4 months were all so encouraging and caring. One of the things I liked best was they had me do different exercises at every visit so it was never boring. I can’t say enough good things about their water treadmill therapy. I was able to do things I didn’t dream I could do. I am now discharged from PT First and doing home rehab. I highly recommend PT First, and have, to my friends for your physical therapy needs.

I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! The front desk staff is great, from scheduling appointments to keeping you up to date on the cost of your appointments. Felipe and his staff are so kind, professional, and knowledgeable. They have helped me regain my strength through the physical therapy sessions. There is a big difference from when I first started and now. I highly recommend going to PT First! You won't be disappointed!

Everyone is incredibly helpful. The people who have worked with me actually listen to the information I share and help me understand what they are doing and why whenever I ask. Hours are incredibly work friendly. This is the only medical related office I have ever been to where an hour of assistance actually means an hour (or a little more).
