Coury & Buehler Physical Therapy

A big thank you to Sarah, patient care coordinator, for promptly responding to my email sent to her and her helpful information she provided to me! This is a business that is run well and shows they care about the people who come to them for help.

Loved my experience here. They are organized and friendly.
The best part is that the PT spends about 20 minutes with you for soft tissue massage or any other issues you might need resolved. After that they teach you specific exercises for your condition and give you a print out for home. I worked with PT Scott (and Annie) and would strongly recommend them for anyone who need physical therapy.

I broke my neck and left arm in a car accident. I needed to first rehabilitate my left arm because my neck was still in a brace. I went to Coury & Buehler solely because of all the positive reviews here on Unilocal and I was not disappointed. I underwent therapy here from June to August 2015. Jon and Sharon were THE BEST. They continually provided me support and encouragement. The aides (Maranda, Jeff, Josiah, to name a few) were also awesome to hang out with during the exercises. The receptionists and those in the modalities area treated me with respect and kindness as well. Because I was away from all my family and friends (I am Canadian and got hurt while I was in the US), this sense of community became a valuable thing for me.
Coury & Buehler became an integral part of getting my left arm back to being functional. I commend them all for their friendly attitude towards all their patients. They’re really not fake about it and just doing it because their boss is there — they were genuinely supportive and compassionate towards me and my recovery. My new PT’s here in Canada do not even come close to the kind of service I received here.
I wrote a detailed article about this in my blog — please feel free to check it out!

This is the best p.t. I’ve ever been to. I see Becky at the Anaheim facility. She & the staff are always so uplifting & encouraging… giving me hope when I had none. I have multiple physical issues & although I will never be «normal» I have become much stronger. The best part is they actually work on you instead of giving you exercises & sending you off to a corner by yourself. Thank you Dr. Deckey for referring me… thank you Blue Shield for covering expenses! Most of all thank you Becky

Had a positive experience with Coury & Buehler Physical Therapy. The office staff was very helpful in explaining insurance and setting up appointments. Everyone at Coury & Buehler were professional.
I had a total knee replacement and was very satisfied with how Sharon worked with me and explained things to me in regards to my rehabilitation.
I would highly recommend Coury & Buehler to anyone who needs to go to physical therapy.

I injured my knee during a very strenuous exercise routine. I’ve injured it before and I usually recovered within a week. However, this last injury was more severe. My knee was so swollen I couldn’t straighten my knee while I walked and I couldn’t go up and down stairs EVEN while holding onto the rail because it was so painful. After procrastinating for about 5 months, I finally decided to seek help.
From the moment you walk in to Coury & Buehler you feel welcomed. Edith always greeted me with a smile and educated me on my options for payment. She informed me of the number of visits I had available and my payment plan options. The aides were quick to get me started (many times the moment I sat down in the waiting room they called my name). And last, but definitely not least, Roland was my PT that got me back to where I want to be. I have a physically demanding job and I am very active. I told him my goals at the first session and he always kept those in mind when giving me my home program and while working on my knee in the clinic. Every time I left, I was able to perform another task that I couldn’t do before or perform the same task but with less pain. I knew physical therapy would not be a quick fix, that I would have to diligently perform the exercises at home and I would have to place a hold on the activity that caused the injury in the first place (which was hard to do because I’m addicted to my sports). On my last visit, which was this past Wednesday, Roland and I came up with a plan together to get me back into my sport to prevent another injury.
Now, I am back to running, mountain biking, and can go up and down stairs without the rail, pain free!

This place is the best. I’ve gone for 3 different body parts over the past 5 years. Not only have I recovered well, but I do like going to the sessions and didn’t feel like the 40 – 90 min sessions take away from my day.
This past time, my doctor sent me to another PT for my knees. It was a smaller business and I was unhappy with their business policies. So I told my doctor to send me back to C&B PT. I am so happy now.
I love that the employees at C&B are nice and will smile and say hi even if you have never met them. I love that if I’m running a little late (usually because of my kids) they still try to work me in. And because they are a larger company, getting appointments is fairly easy.
However, the best thing for me has been that my kids are welcome during my appointment. The other PT office said they would find a corner for my girls while C&B lets them do some of the exercises with me (and my girls have been well behaved so its not an issue right now). As a stay at home mom, having my children welcome makes it much easier for me to get better b/​c I don’t have to miss because I can’t find a sitter. Don’t get me wrong, its easier without my kids at my appt and I would prefer they not be there, but there are times getting a sitter is just not possible.

This place is truly as great as everyone says. I was beyond amazed at the level of service I received here this past summer.
Everyone you interact with here is awesome. The front desk staff is really friendly and helpful. Even the first time I came in, they were expecting me. Every time after that, the ladies remembered my name and would never forget to greet me on my way in and out. They are seriously on top of their game. Also, working out everything with my insurance and rescheduling appointments always ran smoothly.
The therapists are all extremely knowledgeable and qualified, so I knew I was in good hands. I worked primarily with Jonathan and he was awesome. He was great at explaining everything and I always felt really comfortable asking him questions. The aides are great too. They made sure I was doing my stretches right but they were also good company. Shout out to Jilianne, Robert, and JJ! Thanks to all of you, I am now pain-​free~
I also wanted to point out how I really like the work dynamic they have going on at Coury & Buehler. You can just tell that everyone enjoys working there and that the employees get along great.
I would recommend this place to anyone in need of physical therapy. Go here. seriously. You won’t regret it.

I am a huge fan of Coury & Buehler! This is a place that could teach any business the true definition of customer service.
The first time they worked on me was probably around 2003 when I was helped by Rich Coury himself! This was before the Brea office existed. At the time when I first met him I already knew that the practice would grow quickly because I could tell he gets it. At the time I had visited two other therapists first and luckily was referred to Rich by Buehler (Buehler’s office wasn’t covered by my insurance and they hadn’t gotten started working together yet). I had tingling in my fingers and arm due to a nerve impingement. After a few sessions with Rich I was better than new (due to my posture improvement). The best part was that I was able to avoid an epidural which the back doctor had recommended!
This latest time I went to them because I tore my ACL during Sports Day at my daughter’s preschool. Yes, I tore my ACL, but we won the race! I had to crawl off the field because my leg was buckling and I had no idea what had happened, I just knew it wasn’t good. Went to see a doctor after a day and hoped for the best. He had me take an MRI and confirmed that the ACL in my right knee was completely torn. He recommended knee replacement surgery and wanted me to do some pre-​op physical therapy at some unknown place. I told him that I would go to Coury & Buehler. I worked with Michael Ko, a great therapist and a genuinely nice guy, he explained the options and we went to work. He didn’t make any promises but I told him that I wasn’t interested in surgery and wanted to see how I would do without it. Long story short — I never got the knee replacement surgery and I feel really good. The ACL doesn’t heal but the muscles around it have been strengthened and can somewhat act like an ACL. I can’t say enough good things about Michael, he is definitely a credit to the practice.
From the front desk staff to the therapists and the assistants, everyone I have interacted with at Coury & Buehler has been friendly, warm and genuine. I definitely give them my highest recommendation. I hope I never need therapy again, but if I do, I know I will be in great hands!

This is my second round of therapy at Coury and Buehler. I had arthroscopic knee surgery last year and am now receiving treatment for my back. The staff here is great! Everyone is very professional and courteous, from the girls at the front desk all the way to the billing department. It’s very obvious that the staff is treated as well as the patients. The standouts are my therapist David, his aides Robert and Brandon to name just a few. Last year I was treated by Richard, one of the owners, and I have not had a bad experience yet and I must have had at least 50 visits to date. My job is very labor intense and many of my coworkers have needed physical therapy over the years. I’ve heard some horror stories from them and I’m happy to say I’ve received nothing but the finest care at Coury and Buehler. Hopefully you’ll never need therapy, but if you do, this is the place to be!

I cannot say enough positive things about this place! My daughter had physical therapy here for a few months and we were both blown away.
The entire staff is so nice and friendly. We were always created cheerfully by the receptionists. Setting up and rescheduling appointments was a breeze. We had a few issues with billing due to recent insurance changes and the matter was handled so graciously.
Best of all was the way my daughter was treated. His therapist, David, is amazing with children. He has the patience of a saint and totally helped her feel at ease and actually enjoy the experience.
I would recommend this facility to anyone needing PT, but especially for parents to take their kids. LOVE!

I had been training to run my 1^st ½ marathon for about 6 months. With just a month & ½ before the race (May 4^th) I started to have severe pain in my hip during runs which turned into constant pain that made it difficult to even walk. My regular doctor referred me to Courey & Buhler PT. I had my 1^st PT appointment only 5 days before my race & was feeling VERY discouraged & upset that I wouldn’t be able to run. During my initial consultation with Victor I explained that I desperately wanted to race in 5 days & would follow his directions to the letter to make it happen. Victor was so understanding & said he’d do his best to get me there. By the end of that 1^st session I was walking with nearly NO pain! At the end of the week I had 3 sessions with Victor & felt like a new person. He instructed me to do a trial run of just a mile or two Saturday & email let him know how I was feeling. Victor released me to race the following day. I crossed the finish line after 3hr 15mins & had the most amazing experience all while still nursing my injury. I would not have been able to run/​walk had it not been for Victor.
Facility: Easy to find, clean, tidy & spacious.
Staff: What can I say about the staff… OMG they are beyond AMAZING! The receptionist are welcoming, friendly & thorough in explaining policies, payments & insurance coverage. Customer service is fantastic!
I cannot recommend Courey & Buhler PT enough!

I had to go through a lot of physical therapy recently for a broken arm (coupled with frozen shoulder). Coury & Buehler (C&B) was recommended to me by my orthopedic surgeon (his daughter was going there), as well as a few other friends, and I was not disappointed. Everyone at C&B was friendly, helpful, and professional. My physical therapist was Angelo and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! I recommended C&B to a friend recently and I know he’s equally happy with their services.

Service is great! The ladies at the reception are super attentive, especially Channelle (dunno how to spell it) and Tammy, they always remember your name and always ask how you are. 5 stars! Highly recommended for anyone doing PT.

I came in to Coury & Buehler Physical Therapy in Brea at the recommendation of a friend. After an MRI, I was diagnosed by my orthopedic surgeon with a pinched nerve in my neck and lower back.
I was not very optimistic because I had gone to two other physical therapist organizations with no success. I still had the same neck and back pain!
Much to my surprise, Coury & Beuhler is a top-​notch professional physical therapy facility. It is clean, well-​organized, and the staff is very friendly. Everyone knows your name and they treat you with the highest respect.
The receptionists were all very helpful in scheduling my appointments, dealing with insurance issues, and providing me with a great atmosphere when you first walk in the door.
David was my Physical Therapist, and from the moment I met him I knew he was a caring person with professional experience. The level of care he provided me was incredible. He explained every treatment he was providing to me, and what muscles we were working with each visit. He always kept me motivated. I was giving a list of exercises to do each visit and to do at home. I could always ask questions and he would explain everything to me. I am sure the rest of the therapists are just as great.
The support staff is awesome. I was assigned a staff member every visit and they were constantly checking on me to make sure I was doing my exercises correctly.
I would not hesitate to recommend Coury & Beuhler to my family and friends. Good job Coury & Beuhler, Brea!

Highly recommended!!! I have herniated discs, sciatica, and nerve damage. I have had spine surgery, tried every treatment you could imagine! Acupuncture, chiropractors, cupping, coining, water pool therapy, you name it! I have also been to at least a dozen physical therapy places over 8 years from Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Newport, culver city, damn near everywhere in southern CA, and they were very cookie cutter. Basically, I came in with back issues, and the therapists would just give me the same exercises as everyone else they treated with back problems. I wasn’t fond of that since, everyone’s body is different and not all injuries are the same. Therefore, when I came to C&B, I was a bit wary.
They sure did prove me wrong! First off, they listen. Secondly, they’re extremely knowledgable. And third, they genuinely care about you and your health. They will try their darnedest to help you in every way! Let me tell you, not only has my back gotten better, but my entire body is now stronger. They educated me on my body. I am in less pain, and continuing to improve.
All the therapists are great! I highly recommend Victor. He’s my therapist! He’s also a huge goofball, makes it fun when you’re doing all your exercises. The assistants are super friendly and helpful. I used to dread going into therapy sessions at other places, I actually look forward to it now because of C&B’s positive atmosphere and environment.

Angelo literally SAVED my LIFE!
Before I went to see him, I could not stand or sit for more than 5 – 10 minutes due to a sudden onset of severe back pain. I had to quit my job because of the excruciating pain. Also, my daily activities were severely limited. I could not have a meal at the table, wash my face over the sink, get up and down the stairs, or drive, among other things. And even taking a quick shower was an arduous task. An MRI showed that the severe pain was due to two herniated discs. I seriously thought my life as I knew it was over because all I could do without pain was lying in bed.
I saw two surgeons before I went to see Angelo. The orthopedic surgeon had recommended lumbar fusion while the neuro had recommended physical therapy. I was already weary of getting surgery because I had a lumbar discectomy done when I was 18 and it did nothing for me.
So I decided to give physical therapy a shot. I was skeptical at first about how much a physical therapist could help me because I have worked as a front office administrator at a physical therapy clinic in LA. And I knew how some therapists were really burned out and tired because they have to see patients and put in loads of hours documenting the day away.
I was worried for nothing because Angelo turned out to be the most compassionate and knowledgeable therapist I have ever met. (And I have met MANY at my previous job)
All the exercises and body mechanics he has taught me has helped me tremendously. The manual therapy he performs each session also helped a lot.
I started feeling better after a couple of weeks of seeing him and I now have completed my program with Angelo. I can happily say that I now can go hiking for an hour without any onset of pain, work out with a trainer for 30 minutes twice a week, go shopping for hours, go out and have a meal with friends. My quality of life has really improved because of Angelo and the staff here.
I would highly recommend Coury and Buehler to anyone who suffers from back pain.

Recovering from a Ruptured Achilles surgical repair seems much more hopeful since I transferred to CB Brea and working with Angelo. I had been to CB some years ago so when I was able to move home, I wanted to see how they would approach my long term recovery. Upon first meeting him and describing my hopes for returning to my very active self, he immediately got it and has pushed me so I can return to something near normal within the next many months. I came with such frustration with another PT location and their limited expectations for me that I am sure I was less than pleasant in that first meeting. If I heard «at your age» and «be patient» in a patronizing tone there I would have fled. Not so and the energy there is great!
I am here 3 times a week, all times of the day often including Saturday and have always found people energetic, funny and ready to help. Space is well arranged to maximize usage. A great range of people, all ages and needs doing their PT here. Enjoy watching them work patiently with young children and have brought my 11 year old grandson in recently. He is doing well and actually looks forward to his appointments.
Thx for taking such good care of me. I am here for the long haul!

I have been dealing with chronic lower back pain for several years. I worked with my orthopedist and decided that physical therapy was the best option.
After much research regarding treatment of recurring back problems, I looked into Coury & Buehler’s Brea office. One of their therapists, Angelo, caught my attention. He had previous experience rehabilitating an athlete who was dealing with a similar back injury as mine. I quickly made an appointment with the Brea office to consult with Angelo.
Angelo is extremely knowledgeable. He is aware of the latest techniques with regard to therapy. I had millions of questions regarding my injury and body mechanic questions. He helped me to understand what I was dealing with, and suggested movements that would strengthen and stabilize my core and lower back. He did well to make sure I was not getting used to the exercises I was performing, too. Over the course of my treatment, I was able to get stronger and lessen my pain. Over time, my own knowledge expanded, and I was able to understand why I was in pain, and what I needed to do overcome it.
Over the course of several months, I also worked with other therapists, when my schedule did not permit me to work with Angelo. I must say that the all the therapists at Brea are top notch. I was able to also work with Jill, Amber, Mandy, and Victor. All were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions regarding my injury, and proper technique with regards to the exercises that I was performing.
It’s been 6 months since my time with C&B Brea, and I am in better health now than before I started out with them.

I have had headache for the last 5 years or so. I have been to many doctors and I had yet to find a cure for my awful problem. My most recent doctor that I visited recommended me to go to Coury & Buehler, like the review below me I was a tad skeptical about going to a physical therapist. Boy was I wrong. It has been about 3 weeks now and I am basically headache free, and for me to be able to say that is a miracle!
Everyone here goes above and beyond to help all the patients! I have never met a more educated staff, and I have never had such great customer service!
I would recommend Coury & Buehler to anyone!
You MUST ask for Rich, he is amazing!
