Hear it directly from the athletes who've trusted Dr. AJ with their careers — in their own words.
Kansas City Royals
Isaac Collins
"Working with A.J. was a game-changer. He's extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and clearly understands what high-level athletes need to perform at their best. In a relatively short amount of time, I made significant gains in both strength and movement quality. A.J. doesn't just treat symptoms — he addresses the root cause and builds you back better than before."
New York Mets
Clay Holmes
"A.J. has worked with numerous high-performance individuals where the smallest details matter the most for many years now. He has helped me rehab multiple injuries ranging in severity throughout my career. A.J. helped turn the things I thought were setbacks into launching pads for my career."
Chicago Cubs
Jameson Taillon
"....I wouldn't consider him a "classic" P.T. He has an understanding for solving problems throughout the entire body related to movement and my rehab presented challenges that were more than just my elbow. A.J. was able to oversee all aspects of my rehab process from building my throwing program and arm care to my approach to strength & conditioning, recovery and nutrition planning.
He also helped me a lot with my mechanics throughout the throwing progression, not just from counting throws but helping me choose throwing drills that would translate to what I was trying to accomplish in my delivery. My second TJ rehab was extremely smooth. I didn't miss a day of throwing and my arm was never sore.
I've taken a lot of what I learned while working with A.J. and have built it into my programs since returning to competition in 2021. Over the last 4 years I'm in the top 15 in all of MLB in games started and top 20 in innings pitched. I've been able to make availability to compete at the highest level one of my strengths.
Recovering from Tommy John surgery is a long process that can be challenging both physically and mentally. A.J. was able to find ways to challenge me while building progressive exercise plans that made my rehab really fun. I learned how to become the CEO of my own career and I feel like A.J. gave me the keys to learning a lot about myself and my routine which made baseball fun for me again."

Justin Topa
"After undergoing my second Tommy John surgery, I had the opportunity to work with A.J. throughout the long and rigorous rehab process. I can't say enough great things about A.J.! His knowledge, attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile, to get the most out of his athletes, is second to none.
During the 14+ month rehab and recovery process, things can often become monotonous and lonely. But having A.J. in my corner, I always felt like he had a new challenge or plan of attack though would break up those feelings. I am forever grateful for my time working with A.J. and can truly say that I wouldn't be where I am in my career, without his guidance and friendship.
Anyone who is looking to take that next step and get the most out of their rehab process, I'd highly recommend working with A.J."
