"Subha and Capitol Physical Therapy have, however, helped me recover from a very painful condition I was left in from my last surgery. She is so wise and attentive. She doesn’t just stand there and tell me what to do. She actually physically manipulates me."
- Birdeye Review"I wouldn't go here again. In my opinion, there are much better places in DC with more equipment and better therapists. My improvement from these people was so so in my opinion."
- MapQuest Review"Dr. Subha has saved my life. After spending almost two years going to different doctors, she’s the only one who has been able to not only help me - but give me hope that my symptoms will continue to improve."
