  • “I started PT in extreme pain and could barely move my shoulder. Sleep was difficult. I didn’t think I could heal without surgery. Jeff and his team have helped me lose all the pain, regain flexibility and now we are working on strength. I am 100% impressed with their professionalism and care. I highly recommend Ohana Sports Medicine and am grateful for the continued help they provide me during this healing time.”

  • “If you are looking for a PT who actually customizes your care, Jesse is the person to see. He worked on my neck, back, and hip mobility, and his attention to detail was stellar. I loved that every session felt dynamic—he always had new, creative ways to challenge and improve my movement. Because of his help, I’m back in the ocean swimming every week and feeling great. Thank you, Jesse!”

  • “Can't say enough about the entire team at Ohana Sports Medicine! As a retiree who spent 8 years in the Army and 27 years as a Firefighter, I have had my share of injuries which required much rehab and PT. Ohana Sports Medicine are without a doubt the best PT facility I have ever been a patient of. Their professionalism, education, pain therapy and just plain old TLC was second to none! Thanks so much for helping me heal and giving me the tools and knowledge to help me prevent future injury. You guys are the best!”

    GENE P.

  • “I've had knee problems for the last 12 years and finally at 40 years young, I got it replaced. Jeff and the team at Ohana Sports Medicine has helped me so much words can't describe. They have listened and adapted a treatment plan catered to me and my goals. I'm currently 6 weeks out and already have 120 degrees of motion back in my knee and going for much more. I was able to get here so fast because of the stretches and exercises I was given.. I wouldn't have gotten here that fast without ALL their help.. I would recommend these guys to anyone who wants professionals all the way across the board!!!! Thank you Ohana Sports Medicine!!!

    JOSHUA M.

  • “Jeff and the staff at Ohana Sports medicine are amazing! I started seeing Jeff for my knee after a running injury that was very painful. Jeff taught me how to stretch and strengthen properly and now I can run again! Jeff is the only medical provider that actually took the time and went through my MRI results with me so I could understand them. The entire staff is professional and courteous. I highly recommend!!!”

    JESSICA T.

  • “I had a total knee replacement. I hit PT hard and thought I was graduating but my body had other plans. Just as I was getting back to my usual active life, my piriformis muscle decided it also wanted attention… and I landed with the amazing Jesse. He treated my unexpected return like a detective solving a fun, new case. He didn’t just treat the pain, he dove deep, expertly figuring out the underlying biomechanical weaknesses I didn’t even know I had. Jesse is part detective and part miracle worker. I feel stronger and more stable than I have in many years.”
