First of all, I had a few visits with Dr.Koretoff and had a great experience with both him and the…read morefront desk. They always answered the phone right away and he was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He then referred me to the physical therapy office next door and that's where the issues began. Since the first time I called, nobody ever picks up, I called 20+ times in a span of 2 weeks and each time the automated phone system made me listen to a 5 minute message about the history of San Diego Sports Medicine and the different location's phone numbers and then would proceed to hang up on me. The few times it did let me leave a message, nobody ever got back to me. It seems like nobody works at the front desk for some reason. When they finally got back to me, they made an appointment for me with the specific PT that Dr.Koretoff had requested. I was 3 weeks out from the earliest appointment which was not ideal but I had no choice but to wait. When I finally received the appointment reminder the week before the appointment, it said that the appointment will be with someone else, and not the person I had made the appointment with. The person at the front desk even confirmed that it will be with the PT I requested but that's not what they inputted in the system. As a result, I now have to wait another week to start PT. They offered no way to reconcile the situation even though it was their fault, and basically the conclusion was "tough luck, you have to pay for our mistake." In a separate conversation with the front desk again, they were explaining to me the difference between paying out of pocket vs going through insurance. They gave me the out of pocket rate but said that they can't confirm what the cost will be with insurance until I come in so I explained my deductible and the terms on my coverage to get her advice, the answer I got verbatim was "I've explained to you over and over again and it doesn't seem like you're understand so I think I'm wasting my time here." WTF? She only explained to me once, and basically indirectly called me dumb and told me I'm wasting her time? That's no way to talk to any patient especially if I'm being respectful. This is absolutely unacceptable. I don't care if you're having a bad day, you shouldn't be talking to people like that period, let alone if your job is customer service. This is absolutely the worst experience I've ever had with any front desk/customer service. It's like they hate their jobs. Do you guys no vet people before hiring them?

I've been moving around with so much pain in my body for years now as a 28 year old individual that's been so hard for me to get back to my daily life and work. This program really saved me. Gave me the help and strength that I need and pain relief that I needed. Im not 100% back to no pain but I know being here with this group of physical therapist is definitely worth the time and money, and im on the right track to feeling like myself again. Just want to thank everyone there especially Dr. Cidney working with me and genuinely caring for me my health an wanting me to improve really means a lot. They got quite a awesome team of professionals and definitely worth it. So thank you lot! For actually giving a crap about your patients.

10/10 would recommend Prehab I first visited for a…read morecomprehensive running gait analysis, which helped me adjust my form for more efficient running. Later, when I faced hip flexor tightness that almost jeopardized my Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, I turned to Prehab again. With Marielle's help through several physical therapy sessions, I was able to run my race--something I didn't think was possible towards the end of my training block. The clinic is clean, and I appreciated the 1:1 attention. You work directly with your physical therapist--no hand-offs to PT assistants. Scheduling was easy through phone, text, or their website, and parking is super convenient with a large lot. Their PT packages are worth it for me because they included complimentary K-laser therapy and Hyperice Normatec compression boots, which really supported my recovery. Marielle is fantastic--personable, knowledgeable, and dedicated. She understood how important running the race was to me, so she focused on helping me achieve my goals. Unlike other PT clinics, especially those through my insurance, which likely would have told me to stop running, she tailored my care to keep me race-ready. If you're looking for a clinic that truly understands runners and provides effective, personalized care, I highly recommend Prehab!

After lifting furniture and pulling heavy rugs, I suffered from low back pain, shooting down my…read moreleg. For two months, I waited for the problem to dissipate, (unfortunately). Finally i made an appointment with Dr. Aaron Snyder and was very thoroughly evaluated. My recovery was based on strengthening areas of my body which for years even as a yogi were not utilized correctly, and overcompensated for with other areas. It was brought to my attention that my core needed improvement to protect my back. After each session I was provided specific exercises, and these exercises were cumulative and more were added as I progressed. It was also brought to my attention slight changes to my walking style, and the goals established were not just short term recovery, and injury prevention, but also long term body sustainability. It has been six weeks of absolutely no return of any previous issues, and I am continuing the exercise routine at home. This has brought awareness to my areas of weakness, corrected it, and in fact I feel I am stronger. As a middle age person, I feel unconditionally that Dr. Aaron's diagnosis and recommendations will enable me to age better in the future. Anyone who is questioning a functionality with their body would be well advised to consult with Thrive, and determine if the concern can be corrected.

Here's a polished review you could post online:…read more I give Spine & Sport Physical Therapy, and especially Sierra Strain and her team, my highest recommendation. I sought treatment for a severe case of left-sided tennis elbow that had been significantly aggravated by my cello playing. As a physician, I have referred countless patients to physical and occupational therapy over the course of my career, and I have also been a patient myself on several occasions. Because of that experience, I feel I have a good sense of what excellent rehabilitation care looks like. The care I received from Sierra and her team was truly outstanding. They were knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and highly skilled. Just as importantly, they took the time to understand my goals, provided clear guidance, and developed a treatment plan that was both effective and practical. Throughout the process, I felt supported, encouraged, and confident that I was receiving exceptional care. Thanks to their expertise, my symptoms improved substantially, and I was able to return to playing the cello with much greater comfort and confidence. I recommend Sierra Strain and the entire Spine & Sport Physical Therapy team without reservation to anyone seeking physical or occupational therapy. Their combination of clinical expertise, professionalism, and genuine concern for their patients is truly exceptional.

I have to agree with other reviewers that the front office and scheduling process could use…read moresignificant improvement. I initially tried calling multiple times, left voicemails, and even submitted the online contact form, but never received a response. After getting no reply, I decided to stop by in person. Unfortunately, my interaction at the front desk was not a positive one. Rather than acknowledging the possibility that my messages may not have been received or returned, the receptionist seemed more focused on questioning whether I had called the correct number, whether I had left a message, and whether I had only called that same day. I repeatedly explained that I had contacted the office multiple times through different methods, but I felt like my concerns were being dismissed rather than addressed. Because so much of the conversation was focused on questioning whether I had actually tried to contact the office, I eventually told her that I had even stood outside the office and called while she was inside, and the phone still was not answered. At that point, it was clear that I was spending more time trying to prove that I had attempted to make contact than discussing how to schedule an appointment. What stood out most was the lack of accountability and customer service. When someone takes the time to call, leave messages, submit an online form, and then physically come into the office, the response should be to help solve the problem not to make the person feel as though they need to prove they attempted to make contact. In the end, the difficulty I experienced just trying to schedule an appointment made me decide to look elsewhere. If the scheduling process is this challenging before becoming a patient, it did not give me confidence in what the overall experience would be like. The front admin need corrective training because this seems to be an on going issue. Adding a photo of the times I called since it's clear the staff was heavily focused on whether or not I did try to contact them more than once.

I asked if I could be refunded for last appt because of what happened to my son and me needing to leave after 10min of being seen. The man at the front desk could have cared less about any of this and just gave me a number to call. People are human and there is no room for it at PRN, they are rigid and have zero grace. I've also overheard the front desk talking about people they are annoyed with there. Also, there is zero free parking. The whole thing is just a big pain in the butt if you are required to be seen by PT more than once a week. It's a shame for the main PT there because he seemed very knowledgeable and hard working.
