A nice surprise. I arrived at Atala Physical Therapy with some degree of cynicism. My neck and back pain was pretty severe and I thought I would give PT a try. After just one visit my comfort level of very much improved. After my second visit, pain was reduced even more. I am planning at least three more treatments. I recommend Atala Physical Therapy. I think you will be pleased both with the comfortable atmosphere and the level of professionalism of this office. My thanks to Jason, Anthony and the lovely receptionist staff. Claudi . read more

Atala has been nothing but the best for me. I play club lacrosse so my body is always banged up, but because of Jason and the rest of the team at Atala they always made me feel good again. From a torn PCL to just nagging back problems they can fix all your needs, always super kind and friendly putting the patient as the number one. Also loved the extra amenities such as cupping, hot and cold towels, e stem, and ultrasound. They got me back on my feet fast and I couldn't be more happy. Thank you Jason and Atala. -kael osborne read more

I truly cannot say enough great things about Atala Physical Therapy and Terri . The office staff person Julie is always sunny. Terri is unlike any physical therapist I have ever seen. She cares, AND she's brilliant ! She knows, in a profound way how bodies move, how they work, although she also knows that bodies are individual . And more than any doctor I have ever seen in the last forty years , she will take the time and even enjoys the challenge of trying to figure out your issue, your particular body and how to move it towards health, towards integration. She has taught me in my old age how to walk!! I can never thank you enough Terri! read more

Before going to Atala, I was just chasing my tail. Eversince going to Atala , I am able to walk better. The team at Atala is kind, professional. From the moment you enter those doors you know you have made the right choice. And let's not forget Beau. He is the cutest pup I have ever seen. Thank you Atala for taking such good care of me Your team has made me feel so much better and I can't say enough thank yous read more

I had no idea how badly my lifelong ways of walking, sitting, standing, and reaching for things had impacted my severe back issues. And, perhaps why the first back surgery and subsequent physical therapy ultimately failed and I had to do it all over again... At last, being referred to Atala & meeting Terri Brusseau Kraus, I received the personalized attention I needed to "stop walking like a skinny girl flinging herself down the runway," and instead learned how to be strong, pain-free, and move with intention. Great experience, great staff, and I am forever better for it -- Thank you Atala! read more

Friendliest place with knowledgeable PTs. Teri and Jason address the whole person while pinpointing therapies to address the location of pain. Highly recommend. read more

Before I came to Atala, I was terrified to walk around without my ankle brace on and my walking boot in my car just to be safe. I am recovering from an ankle tendon tear and my past experience at other physical therapists had left me in a boot for a much longer time than anticipated. I came into Atala and was greeted by Brenda who is so kind and patient! Ilseong is a new addition to the Atala team but you wouldn't know that. He is an amazing physical therapist and I walked out of my first appointment feeling more confident about my ankle than I had in over 3 months. Not to mention, my pain levels are at an all-time low!! (I am seriously so excited about it) I walked out of the office without my brace and have not put it back on since! I don't recommend places unless I fully believe in them and this is by far the best PT group you can go to. read more

Jason and Laurel have been the best at working to help me be able to have a better life in spite of my scoliosis and arthritis pain. Julie is great at the front desk and works hard to accommodate my schedule. Such a good experience with everyone. I have less pain thanks to Atala and I would highly recommend the fantastic personal care that I have gotten from the caring staff. Thank you! read more

Atala PT is the best and helped me rehab and return to full function. Terri is orthopedically certified and knows her stuff I am a retired PT and have referred multiple friends to her for their orthopedic problems and all rave about her. I have been to other good PT's in the area prior to seeing Terri, ut she and her staff are the best. You will get individualized attention for the full hour you are there. read more

I have had physical therapy at various places but I must say Atala PT was the best. I really liked the individual attention by my therapist and his assistant. I felt they really got to know me and what my needs were. I highly recommend them. read more

I visited Atala for rehabing an injury to my heel from rock climbing. I was referred by my mom who has had great progress with getting more active during her pain management. Lexi at the front desk was very attentive to me and the other patients waiting for their appointments. Regardless of the other 3 patients in the waiting area, I was called back promptly for my 3pm appointment. Terri assessed that my heel didn't have any fractures (thankfully) and prescribed a treatment plan that had my heel feeling 95% recovered within 4 days of our appointment after 2 weeks of little progress on my own. I will definitely be returning for a follow up and preventative therapy to avoid injury in the future. Oh, and Jason gave me an ultrasound treatment on my heel which I personally believe caused the speedy recovery. read more

Terri and the crew have been fantastic. They are very caring and knowledgeable as well as a lot of fun, which if you've ever been to physical therapy then you know they're pretty damned boring. They run a very clean operation and were hyper cleaning the facility months before the Covid outbreak. (I've been receiving therapy for about 4 months) I highly recommend Atala PT, and no I'm not a paid spokesperson.... read more

Absolutely excellent! Ilsong is amazing. His physical therapy knowledge is just great! He is highly professional and has a friendly personality. Terri, who owns Atala is terrific. I went to them in late '14/early '15 and went back this last month after neck surgery. Honestly, I felt like I was going back to family. That is truly how they made me feel. They remembered everything we had discussed back then from medical to personal and I even asked how the heck they remembered that I had a dog. It really is an amazing group of people who care very much about their patients. And, several of my doctors have recommended them when we discuss physical therapy. That is saying something when there are so many, many p.t. places in our entire region. Highly recommended. Thanks Atala! I look forward to continuing care with you (and, yes, I am thinking about my posture as I write this :) Robin Sachs read more

Terri and her team are wonderful and the best PT I've ever had. Their expertise and knowledge brought me back 110%. I highly recommend them because if anyone can get you up and running it is them!!! read more

Terri Kraus and team are truly the best therapists I have ever encountered. Knowledgeable, kind and encouraging but very clear about what it will take to reach my recovery goals. Can't recommend Terri highly enough -especially for Orthopaedic post op rehab.... & all assortment of recovery needs. read more

Terri is the best Physical Therapist I've ever been to. I've been going to Atala on and off for over 5 years. Jason the Kinesiologist is very knowledgeable re exercises, stretches and most importantly watching you while you're doing your exercises. Jason and Terri compliment each other very well. Ashley works the front desk and her warm smile as you walk through the Atala doors is very welcoming. Terri is an expert when it comes to her field. You can feel confident in knowing you're getting the best PT treatment there is. Thank you to Terri, Jason and Ashley for their team effort in improving my physical health. read more

This is the worst PT place you can ever visit . I used them based on review and also my insurance ( workers comp ) sent me there . Very unprofessional staff , the billing dept. will call you 16 times a day if they couldn't collect from the from the carrier . There is a very profesionnaly Rude lady with the name ALICE , ALICE will sound nice at first ( billing ) but if things didn't go her way she will turn ruded on you. I'll never recommand it to a friend The PT was useless , after all of the stress that I went through , I eneded up going to another PT place and it was amazing ( it's few blocks from this faciltiy ) read more

I can't say enough good things about Terry Kraus and her team at Atala Physical Therapy. They're currently helping me to come back from a broken leg. Appointments are easy to set. Parking is easy (I'm on crutches!). I don't spend a bunch of time waiting. The facility is clean and there's plenty of privacy in the treatment rooms. Everyone is cheerful, professional and caring. Their knowledge runs deep. They're open to new ideas. As an athlete, they understand my desire to recooperate and really push me to get better. This is my fourth time going through PT. The folks at Atala make it clear that they care about my recovery. I never feel like just another hurt knee that needs an ice pack; they want to see me succeed. I highly recommend Atala! read more

I have been to several physical therapy locations over the years. None of them are even close to the care, professionalism, and knowledge as the people working here. I have had to go to p.t. a few times recently, and I have told the drs. this is the only location I will go to. One of them had never heard of them because he is in a completely different location. He now knows of Alala. Terri, Adam, Jason, and Lexi are just amazing. This is what we look for in the medical world and I have found it her! Thanks to all 4 of you for looking out for me and caring as you do. read more

Jason and Melissa were super effective in driving a recovery plan to get me well quick from a shoulder injury. They drove confidence they understood my injury and the work required to get well. On top of that they were very personable and professional. I went to PT for a back injury a few years prior, and Atala's level of care was far superior. I hope to never see them again;) read more

Terri, Jason and Lexie have provided a professional and satisfying experience from start to finish. I am confident the pain relief and strength realized from just a few sessions with them will have a positive and lasting impact on my quality of life. Highly recommended! read more

This is an outstanding Physical Therapy practice. After many years of periodic times of needed PT, I must say that this experience has stood out from the rest. From the beginning by the first phone call and greeting at the front desk by Amanda, I felt like I'd been welcomed into the right practice. She is very efficient and welcoming. Julie is a wonderful gentle Kinesiologist showing concern for the patience needs with good and clear instructional direction. Teri, the physical therapist, by far holds my highest respect for her professional concern, knowledge and attitude. So, YES, I highly recommend this clean organized practice for all of one's physical therapy ailments. read more

I have just completed physical therapy at Atala. I wish I could give them ten stars. My rheumatologist recommended them highly and I understand why. Starting with Julie who runs the office and makes you feel so welcome when you come in the door, to Jason who is a gifted physical therapist to Laurel who puts you through your exercises this is a wonderful team. Jason really understood my issues and helped me more than I could have hoped. He is so knowledgeable and really taught me a lot about my body and movement. He pointed out things about how I walk that I was unaware of, but made so much sense. I can't imagine that anyone could be a better therapist. Julie made scheduling so easy and couldn't have been nicer and Laurel is wonderful at teaching the exercises that make such a difference. I am so grateful for how much they all helped me and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. read more

I am so overwhelmingly impressed with the entire team at Atala Physical Therapy. I was first referred to Atala 2 years ago after I had surgery for a complex tear of my meniscus. It was key that I return to my prior level of function as I was scheduled for a total hip replacement (THR) 6 weeks later. The THR was planned, the knee injury was not. I have always been into fitness; running, gym work, cycling, and in the recent years, hiking. As a result of my activity, I was no stranger to injuries and recovery. However, being in my late 50's made recovery a bit more challenging and I was nervous about PT; that is until I was introduced to Terri. Terri is the owner of Atala and she was amazing! She was kind, considerate, at times tough, and always left me feeling better (both physically AND emotionally) when I left a session. She included deep massage of the surrounding muscles and tissues combined with tension-releasing moves, all the while focusing on joint strengthening. Jay, the Exercise Specialist, would apply moist heat and ultrasound and would coach me on specific exercises targeted to my particular problems and weak areas. Six weeks later I had my THR during which I suffered a fractured femur. I was forced to use a walker as I was non-weight-bearing for several weeks. My leg muscles had atrophied to a point where I didn't recognize them. The staff at Atala got me through some difficult moments in my recovery, by always focusing on what I could do and by helping me set both short-term and long-term goals. As I reached each milestone, they were there to celebrate with me! They were always encouraging and kind; and I am not just speaking about the PT's and Exercise Specialist. Lexi, the Patient Coordinator/Clinic Manager and the face of Atala, because she was the first person you met; was absolutely one of the most cheerful and welcoming souls I have ever met. I absolutely lucked out when I picked the Atala team to work with and am so grateful for the knowledge, professionalism, care and understanding that each person brings to their practice. I absolutely recommend Atala to everyone. I have referred both my sons after they suffered soccer injuries to their knees, my husband after he broke his back and my 89-year-old mother after her THR. Atala's individualized approach met the needs of each one of my family members and got us all back to living life to the fullest! I cannot say enough great things about this team. read more

Terri is an amazing Physical Therapist! Terri prevented me from having to have shoulder surgery. My shoulder is 100% better. Terri also provided outstanding rehab after my foot surgery. The Atala staff is five star quality. The detailed attention that I have seen them give each patient is remarkable. Atala brings a whole new level to professionalism and patient care in Physical Therapy! LC read more

Terri and her staff have been of enormous help to me after a nasty fall that reactivated an older hip and lower back injury. I am so grateful for their expert and kind help! read more

Terri is amazing very knowledgeable about your injury and how to approach the healing process more rapidly. I am happy to find her and to be able to go back to play tennis for a long time. Thank you so much, Terri, you are the best. The entire team Jason, Lexi were very friendly, helpful and professional. I would recommend Atala PT to all my tennis friends. read more

Wow! I truly hit a grand slam in finding the Atala group. Terry, Jason and Lexi are more than professional; they have become family. Their concern is genuine, their hands-on approach is magnificent and their planning is impressive. I tore my quad tendon in two places and after two operations was in doubt as to whether would walk normally again. After 12 weeks I m confident I will return to normal and then some. Thank you Terry for caring about my recovery and showing me the way. Jason, thank you for your cautious approach to my training (it is working). Lexi, thank you for making the scheduling seamless and not stressful. Frank Amelio read more

Great team to work with Very professional and caring! I love them They go the extra mile to work with you read more

Terri, Thank you and your WONDERFUL team for helping my ankle recover, Croatia was great with all of your help in such a short time period! Your entire staff is AMAZING! Lexi was always so responsive, supportive and helpful with any request or changes, always so nice, outstanding service! The whole team is friendly, fun and really takes the extra time to help you recover. If I could rate you higher than a 5 star I would! I like the one-on-one dedicated service and boutique style therapy center (unlike the rest who work on 3-5 patients at a time and forget your "story". I will highly recommend you and your team to everyone I know, you guys are really THE BEST! read more

I could not be happier with Terry for addressing several physical issues that we were able to resolve through a therapy routine. The facility is very clean and staff is professional. read more

Terry is amazing!!! Actually, everyone at Atala is. I torn my meniscus and ended up having surgery. I was sent to physical therapy at the Naval Hosp. Let me just tell you, Naval PT is an absolute joke!!! Anyhow, after getting horrible treatment at the Naval Hosp and not feeling any better, a friend suggested I should see Terri. From the first visit, I knew I was in good hands. She's so gentle and thorough. She didn't just address my knee, she addressed my whole body. It's been 9 months since my surgery. She got me on the right track and I actually hiked in Yosemite last week!!! I couldn't have done it without Terri and her team. Her and Jason are a great team. And Lexi, we can't forget Lexi!! The best receptionist ever! She remembers everyone and genuinely cares about you. Seriously, the best care ever! read more

The ABSOLUTE BEST physical therapist EVER!!!! Terri is second to none. Jason, her assistant helps reinforce Terri's directives, and he is SUPER! After only 5 visits, my hip area has improved immensely. ATALA PHYSICAL THERAPY ROCKS!!! LEXI, the office manager couldn't be kinder. She goes out of her way to help the patient. She's really "THERE" for you. Always, takes that extra step, to insure your concerns are addressed. Parking is never a problem. I feel very blessed to have met: Terri/Jason and Lexi. They have become my second family. Forget all the other physical therapy places----there's no place better than Atala! read more

Ayala Physical Therapy is amazing. Terri and staff are so knowledgeable and professional. I have been many times for my neck issues, hip and back. Having autoimmune issues is tough since there's a lot of arthritis and pains, so it's nice to be able to go somewhere where you can be taken care of and get some relief with those issues. The environment is very clean and comfortable. Atala offers techniques and therapies that aren't offered everywhere so you can be sure that you are in the best of hands. read more

My doctor suggested possible neck surgery, but went here as a last resort. After 6 weeks I am back to normal. Great staff, they really care, and want you to get better. Terri does a great job and is not out to keep you coming back just to make money- she wants you to get better and get back to your life. Her staff of Josh and Tamiko are fantastic. I highly recommend this place. Kyle read more

Awesome physical therapy center. Ive had PT before and Atala absolutely took it to another level. Really not just enjoyed it but also benefited significantly from Terri and Jason's care. Im back to normal now! Also, who knew coordinating appointment dates could be such a wonderful experience. Lexi at the front was stellar! Unequivocally can recommend Atala. Thank you all! read more

I chose this facility due to the convenience (2 miles from home). I absolutely loved it; staff and physical therapist were very personable and helpful. Although I have not fully recovered from my injury, I will definitely go back should I have to complete another round of physical therapy. Appointments were always available to work around my schedule. 5 stars and definitely recommend! read more

I had the good fortune to be referred to Atala PT when I was ready to build up my strength after a severe illness. Terri and Jason worked with me and helped me regain not only my physical strength but also my confidence. I am grateful everyday for their help and expertise. I looked forward to every appointment and the challenges they would present. Also, a shout-out to Lexi, the receptionist, who is so sweet! I recommend this team! read more

I have been to many of the Physical Therapy facilities in my area over the years... I was referred to Atala Physical Therapy in Carlsbad several years ago & Atala PT has been my go to PT ever since. Terri is a Master PT & a wealth of knowledge... Terri carefully & expertly assisted in the recovery & strengthening of my knee after surgery. Now again with the recovery of my foot after surgery @ a simultaneous calf injury... My second time in for PT & my second experience was every bit as good as my first...Excellent care by the entire staff. Private rooms & one on one care... Spotlessly clean... And they do ins billing!! read more

After 3 months of knee surgery rehab am thankful for the team at Atala. Great mix of genuine care and positive push to get me over the hump toward "normal" active life again. Jay, Laura, Lexi and Terri very active in approach. Patients of all ages here seem to agree as always viewed others having solid experience also. Hoping I won't have to be back but if future medical needs mandate would return without doubt. read more
