I highly recommend Golden Gate

"Superb care from an entirely knowledgable practioner. I had a hard time finding availability in San Francisco and it was more than worth the drive up to Mill Valley. i worked with many PT's after wrist surgery and Danielle was one of the best by far."

"Golden Gate Hand Therapy is an efficient and warm environment overall, but I am posting this review specifically for Annie because I feel like she saved my hands. The advice she gave me was so incremental in helping me navigate my injury and keep working while I healed and she always gave me top notch care.."
