The experience was truly one-on-one. No double booking, just focused sessions that met me where I was. We built a targeted plan that took me from barely walking comfortably to hiking and even working my way back to mountain climbing. I am still on the road to a full recovery so I can return to the Eastern Sierra Nevada, and Calvin has me set up for success. He is personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. If you are deciding where to go in the Mira Mesa and Scripps Ranch area, pick Calvin (but also pick him even if you have to drive farther). I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much, Calvin!

I was in traffic and driving trying to find their number to call saying I was gonna be late but I guess it wouldn't matter anyways. I have seen people come in there 10 late and got to see a physical therapist. For me that is the end of me coming to this place I recommend not going. Very disappointed.

Dr. Anderson is a miracle worker! I initially saw him for a frozen shoulder which had become so…read moreimmobile and unbearably painful. I didn't have any expectations, but a friend of mine sees Dr. A for regular back pain and also had frozen shoulder a few years ago. Dr. A is not your typical chiropractor. He does a mix of laser, physical therapy, ultrasound, massage and of course chiropractic techniques. At first I was seeing him 2x a week for my shoulder. I'll admit it was not easy; the rehab was slow and painful at times, but he got my shoulder moving and over time we reduced to 1x a week, and now every other week. I'm happy to report that I have gone from about 40% mobility to over 95% mobility in my frozen shoulder over the course of about 5-6 months. Everyday tasks like getting something from a high shelf in the pantry, putting a shirt over my head, brushing my hair, and reaching for a seat belt in the car are all back to normal with zero pain. I can't thank Dr. A enough for helping me get through this. I would have never believed it was possible, especially since you read about much more invasive procedures (surgery, cortisone shots, etc.) for frozen shoulder. I highly recommend Dr. A to anyone dealing with pain. In fact I have already referred a few family members to him! I always leave his office feeling so much better and less stressed and honestly count down the days to my next visit with Dr. A.

Kha has been instrumental in helping me regain mobility, stability, and flexibility in my ankle and…read morefoot! What initially manifested as plantar fasciitis also stemmed from ankle weakness and stiffness, likely from prior sprains and other injuries that had gone unaddressed. Through our sessions, I've gained invaluable insights into the interconnectedness of my body. Kha is not only passionate about his work but also excels at explaining complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner. One of the most significant breakthroughs was his identification and treatment of my pelvic tilt, an issue I had struggled with using other approaches. I'm thrilled to say that after working with Kha, I feel more balanced and stable in my own body than I ever have, and the SI joint discomfort that bothered me for over 20 years has completely disappeared. Overall, I am incredibly grateful for the comprehensive approach Kha has taken with my treatment, which has also included manual modalities such as cupping. Thanks to Kha, I feel empowered to maintain my progress with the stretches and strengthening exercises he's taught me to keep my hips, feet, and ankles agile and strong. I also want to give a shoutout to Giulia and Susana--they are also awesome and have made scheduling, coordinating with insurance, and payments seamless. I would enthusiastically recommend Renew Physical Therapy - Mira Mesa to anyone in need of PT!

I was a returning patient to this clinic after about two years, but because of the gap in care I…read morecame back as a new patient. My previous visits were for pelvic floor therapy during pregnancy. This time I came in for an acute lower back injury. The morning I called, I explained that I was in significant pain and asked if there were any same-day openings. I also specifically asked whether my evaluation would include manual therapy, since I had been told it would be an evaluation appointment. I was told yes. This is the third physical therapy clinic I've been to over the last four years, so I have a good basis for comparison. During my previous pelvic floor therapy at this clinic, I often felt that appointments were rushed. There were multiple occasions when my therapist was running behind because they were still treating another patient. While I completely understand that schedules can get delayed, my sessions still ended at the originally scheduled end time instead of extending to make up for the late start. As a result, I frequently felt like I received less treatment time than I was scheduled for. I overlooked that at the time because I was pregnant, exhausted, and didn't want the hassle of finding another physical therapist. I also genuinely liked my therapist. Unfortunately, my recent evaluation reinforced those same concerns. The evaluation lasted roughly 45 minutes. Based on my experiences at two previous PT clinics, as well as conversations with other offices, I expected a new patient evaluation to be around 60-90 minutes and to include both assessment and some form of treatment when appropriate. During the appointment, the therapist asked me to lie on my stomach. I explained that the position was too painful because of my back injury and asked whether manual therapy could instead be performed while I was lying on my side. She agreed and performed some assessment, but no manual therapy or soft tissue work was provided. When I rolled over to get up, I was told the session was over. I was surprised and asked about the manual therapy I had specifically called to ask about before scheduling. I was told that I had not wanted to lie on my stomach. That explanation was disappointing because, at my previous PT clinics, both therapists routinely adapted treatment when my pain prevented me from lying prone. They performed manual therapy with me on my side without issue. During severe flare-ups, they also incorporated gentle soft tissue work along with heat or ice when appropriate to help reduce pain enough for me to begin exercises. None of that was offered during this visit. Financially, this was especially frustrating. I paid $150 toward my PPO deductible for what felt like a very brief evaluation with no hands-on treatment. Even if my out-of-pocket cost had been much lower, I still would have left feeling disappointed because my concern is the quality of care, not simply the price. I was also surprised to learn that the clinic now charges an annual membership fee (implemented in March 2026) in addition to accepting insurance. Since I wasn't sure whether I would even return after my evaluation, I questioned why I would pay an annual fee before deciding whether to continue care. The staff kindly waived the fee for my first visit, which I appreciated, but I still don't agree with the concept of requiring an annual membership for in-network physical therapy services. Overall, I left feeling that I did not receive the level of evaluation or treatment I was led to expect, especially after specifically asking in advance whether manual therapy would be included. I want to emphasize that my therapist was kind and professional throughout the visit, and I have no doubt she genuinely cares about her patients. My review is not about her as a person. It's about an experience that consistently felt rushed--both during my previous course of pelvic floor therapy and now during my evaluation for an acute back injury. Based on my experiences, I cannot recommend this clinic.

The next day I would be in pain again. Dr. CJ has been using some gentle adjustments with me, but I think what sets him apart from my previous chiropractors is that he was able to identify that my pain is more muscular than skeletal. He spends 30 mins with me in each appointment, using what is called Active Release Technique which helps work the tone and tension out of my muscles. My previous chiropractor never even remembered what we had talked about in our last session, because I was in and out in 5-10 mins every time. Dr. CJ also gives me exercises I can do at home in between our sessions. In my 2 sessions with him so far, we have addressed tight muscles in my upper traps and rhomboids. I feel better than after going to several appointments with my previous provider, because Dr. CJs approach is to address the whole relationship between the skeletal and muscular system, rather than just "crack" your back. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get out of pain for good!

When I first came to him, I couldn't externally rotate my shoulder and struggled to get my arm overhead without insane scapular winging.

My surgeon has been impressed with Nick's ability to correct my STAM. Dr. Nick has identified my muscle weaknesses, prescribed the right targeted exercises, and has me log them to stay accountable. There have been strong suggestions that I consider another surgery, but Nick has also been able to keep my pain under control with effective, targeted bodywork, including cupping and massage. I've gone to PT at both UCSD and Kaiser without any success, and I'm so thankful Nick has helped me hold off on another surgery. He listens intently and navigates each session in a way that leaves you walking out feeling like you're ready to do all the things your body has been holding you back from. I'm beyond thankful to Dr. Nick and SDSPT. They genuinely want you to get better, I promise you that. I've been to both locations, and they are top-notch.
