Dr Nader was fantastic! He ensured my comfort for the entire duration of the appointment and was very detail oriented. He was very knowledgeable and was able to adjust his methods based on my feedback, providing me personalized recovery instructions. I will certainly be heading back to Dr Nader and DNA Physical Therapy!

Dr Amer is the best of his field. I used to suffer chronic shoulder pain after surgery, restricting me from performing certain movements. Dr. Amer has significantly improved my shoulder's range of motion and strength while transforming my overall posture. My pain level has drastically decreased. I'm immensely grateful for his expertise, patience, and attentive listening.

I suffered a pretty bad ankle injury 1 month prior to my first half marathon.I could barely walk up or down the stairs without significant pain. I saw Dr. Amer 2 days before the race and he worked on my ankle. I was impressed with his knowledge and attention to subtle detail which really allowed him to hone in on the trouble spots. He used several techniques including stretching, exercises, massage, ice and ultrasound… 2 days later, I ran my first half marathon. As a Physician myself, I can say without reservation that this dude is a Doctor of Doctors!

Nader is amazing! He’s helped me through multiple injuries with my shoulder, neck, and back. I told him I was really interested in getting back into strength training. He helped me feel confident and safe getting back into the gym without injuring myself again. He’s a stickler for technique and is knowledgeable with experience in fun apps! He has a private gym, so skills could translate back into my gym! I recommend him to anyone seeking physical therapy and strength training!

Dr. Nader is the BEST! I would recommend him for any PT and any sort of physical training that you are looking for. With my experience Dr. Nader helped me with my injured knees after a Half Marathon, and an injury that occurred to my lower Ribs from weight lifting. He has extensive knowledge and amazing bed side manor. He made a specialized plan for me with stretches and work out movements to help me get back to full recovery. I could not be more grateful!

Dr. Nader is an exceptional physical therapist who has continually improved my life. I initially saw him due to back pain that prevented me from running and playing tennis (or even walking!) He found the source of my pain, provided treatment that alleviated the pain, and created a personalized plan enabling me to return to the sports I love within a week. From the very first session, Dr. Nader was incredibly kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my recovery. His expertise and guidance have kept me on the courts and on the running trails, even when I overdo it and tweak an ankle or a calf…as I did recently. Dr. Nader was able to quickly diagnose my new injury and went to work with ultrasound and other therapies. He also provided a personalized stretching and strengthening program for these new problem areas…even for the long car ride I was about to go on. Within days, I was running again. I highly recommend Dr. Nader. He’s an athlete (former college swimmer) so he understands the obsessiveness of fellow athletes who want to be active. And as a woman, I feel that he is so respectful and easy to talk to possibly from being the only boy in his family growing-up with 3 sisters and wonderful parents. One of my sons is starting with him today, and my tennis pals and I recommend him all the time!!

Dr. Nader is extremely knowledgeable and professional! You can trust him to identify the underlying issue and to develop a treatment plan that works for you. He resolved a painful calf injury of mine after just one appointment. He has a sixth sense for knowing when to rest versus when to push clients harder. I’m going back again for treatment of nagging pain in the front of my shoulder (which I’d until now resigned myself to living with forever) because I’m so confident that Dr. Nader can properly identify the underlying issue and actually help me fix it. Dr. Nader finds a way to make appointments enjoyable and his practice includes all the latest tech/gadgets in sports medicine. DNA Physical Therapy is truly the best out there!!

DNA Physical Therapy is an absolute must for improvement and healing. Dr. Nader treated me for a chronic shoulder issue and his detailed intake process, both manual examination and his incisive questions, gave me great confidence in his skill as a clinician. He approached my discomfort and limitations with seriousness, though with an optimism and positivity that I have found other practitioners to lack. The holistic treatment plan he created addressed the source of my pain directly, and also included strengthening exercises for the whole shoulder girdle. After performing the prescribed exercises for a few weeks, not only am I able to sleep on my side again (yay!), but I have much reduced pain in overhead motions and I feel stronger and more aware of my body. I heartily recommend DNA Physical Therapy to my friends and family and trust Dr. Nader's significant expertise in keeping his patients as mobile and healthy as possible.

I can’t recommend DNA Physical Therapy enough! From the moment you walk in, you can tell this clinic is different. The team truly cares about each patient, taking the time to understand your injury, explain the treatment plan, and guide you step by step. They blend expert knowledge with modern rehab techniques—whether it’s recovery from a sports injury, post-surgery rehab, or just improving strength and mobility. I’ve noticed huge improvements in my pain levels, flexibility, and overall performance thanks to their personalized approach. The facility is clean, welcoming, and equipped with everything needed for real progress. What I love most is that they don’t just treat the injury—they focus on long-term recovery and prevention, so you can get back to living and training at your best. If you’re looking for a top-rated physical therapy clinic in Mission Viejo / Orange County with results that actually last, this is the place to go. Five stars all the way!
