My therapist is Jeremy. He was wonderful at first several sessions. But recently I feel like he becomes more and more perfunctory. Sometimes he is on his phone while treating me.

TLDR: If you have TMJD, tinnitus, neck and shoulder pain this is your sign to start your healing journey at this practice.
I have truly never had a better physical therapy experience in my life than when I was cared for by Jeremy Ballabon at James Fowler Physical Therapy.
On the recommendation of my TMJD Specialist (Dr. Nojan Bakhtiari) I came to Jeremy as a last ditch effort for what seemed like a never ending saga of tinnitus, neck pain, shoulder pain, jaw clicking, and jaw locking no matter what I did. Before seeing him, I had tried message therapy, acupuncture, and had been working with a different physical therapist for 12 weeks to very little improvement.
Jeremy was the first doctor I’ve met in my 18 month journey who validated my pain and the distress all the underlying symptoms were causing me. After my assessment with him, he was able to identify the complex set of problems that were causing my TMJD and all the symptoms that surrounded it, and he laid out a clear plan of treatment. I left my first visit with him with a sense of relief and hope.
Jeremy’s care is amazing because it is wholistic. He not only adresses the points of pain you have to help you heal, but he is also a teacher. He wants you to understand all the mechanics that effect your injury— he wants you to unlearn bad habits so that you don’t find yourself repeating the same things you did to cause your injury in the first place. He is extremely kind, patient, respectful, and attentive to his patients, and most importantly, he practices what he preaches— never hesitating to jump out on the floor to demonstrate and work with you ensure you understand what needs to happen kinesthetically.
I found myself healing at a rapid rate during my treatment at JFPT. I cried when I was able to open and close my mouth without locking, I was overjoyed when my jaw stopped clicking during my daily work (I'm a voice actor), and I cried again when I realized how my tinnitus was no longer a consistent bug in my ear. My neck and shoulder pain dissipated, and in about 8-12 weeks I was feeling entirely transformed.
I’d be remiss to mention that the practice as a whole is also just plain fabulous. From their wonderful front of office staff, especially Idelsi who is so kind and on top of everything, always making sure you get the number of visits you need, to the billing staff who made being an out of network patient a breeze with my insurance, to the wonderful trainers, especially Caitlin who is so patient and attentive, to the BEAUTIFUL space, and of course their top notch care.
Obviously, I could write pages on how much I admire this amazing group of professionals, and how they have undeniably changed my life. If you are willing to invest in yourself, and put in the work, I promise you, you will heal, and you will find results with them. I am happier, I am virtually pain free, my tinnitus has gone from a dull roar to a quiet and occasional whisper, and I’m able to exercise in ways I haven’t been in years. I feel like I have my life back. And I am forever grateful.
