CPMC Occupational and Hand Therapy

Tara Pearce in Occupational Therapy is spectacular. Not only is she really smart, she is a great person. She has helped me beyond my expectations.

I came here a while back to get rehab for a broken wrist, and I ended up going twice and switching to another hand therapist for a few reasons:
1. Nobody could confirm that my insurance was in-​network. I had to spend about 2 – 3 hours on the phone with various people to figure out if my insurance was taken, and at the end of it all, the answer was «We’re probably in network»
2. The hand therapists don’t do anything that you can’t google and do yourself. They inspired no confidence and I eventually switched to another hand therapist (which I’m much happier with).
3. They charge 2x-​3x more than the hand therapist I switched to. For reference, after insurance, I was charged more for one session of hand therapy, than I did to go see an orthopedic hand surgeon, take eight x-​rays, and get a cast on.
The only positive about this place is that they have parking spots dedicated to patients.
Would I recommend this place? No, unless you want mediocre service at a higher cost.

I went to CPMC during a year and a half. I can say that everybody is welcoming and nice there. It is easy to have and change your appointment; they really try to help you as much as they can. My PT was Tifany and she did a really good job helping me recover. I hope I will not go there again but if I have too, I will go trustfully.

I have been seeing Derek Lee for a few months and he was able to sort out my problem and get the swelling and movement back. He was really knowledgeable, used multiple rehab techniques (old and new). I would not hesitate to recommend him to others and if ever I need further treatment, will return!

CPMC Occupational and Hand therapy here at the Davies Campus is a very confortable and welcoming place. Their therapist are all very talented and they work well as a team. I only had the pleasure to get to know a few of the therapist for my 9 sessions there.
Derek Lee was my primary OT/​Hand Therapist and he is highly recommended on my list! But since I was such an awesome patient and easy to work and treat, Callie (interning for 12 weeks) also helped me with my healing process.
As for Derek; you can tell off the bat that he’s patient, gentle, and knows his stuff. He’s perfect. He’s also amazing and the best graston tecnique you will receive. Because after seeing him, I always felt like I just walked out of the spa. Oh did I forget to mention the paraffin wax bath you receive? It’s the best!
I am so happy to have him as my therapist. After working 15 years on the computer and typing, my wrist/​hand finally gave out. And with this life lesson and therapy, I know I will recover smoothly.
Thank you CPMC Occupational Therapy! Keep up the great work!
Your fan, Judi

I give the hand clinic my VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! I went the clinic to recover from two major surgeries on my elbow following a bike accident. My hand/​Occupational Therapists were TIFFANY TANG and DEREK LEE. They educated me about my injury, my anatomy, and the recover process. They always kind and respectful but firm — they pushed me to expand my limits and get the best recovery that I could. They made me want to work harder. They also keep my spirits up through out the long process with humor and stories. Their professionalism and dedication amazed me. I felt really cared for
