Since 2022, I have had awful, debilitating vertigo episodes that impacted both my professional and personal life. My primary doctor was able to refer me and I started my vestibular physical therapy sessions with Dr. Faustino (Robbie) several months ago. By the time I was referred, I had several mild-moderate vertigo episodes but needed serious vestibular rehabilitation therapy due to my imbalanced gait and dizziness symptoms. Dr. Faustino helped me and listened to my concerns and I felt fully supported throughout my time working with him. As of yesterday, I have been discharged (yay!) because I no longer experience symptoms thanks to the rehab sessions and exercises that Robbie taught me. So I just want to say a huge thanks to him. Robbie is very professional, to the point, and supportive with a goal to help his patients get better. I have already recommended this location to several of my friends and coworkers who need rehab/physical therapy like myself. Also, thank you to Isabella at the front desk for being so helpful! read more

Bummed that a physician referral to schedule and receive care is required. Even for a cash client.

One on one care. Very friendly staff and if PT has to take a day off, the replacement therapist is very good too. Lots of parking. Recommend Maria C. FIVE STARS if I could get to the rating! read more

The "crystals" were dislodged from my inner ear and after I practiced the epley maneuver to get them back in place, my vestibular system needed a reboot. I was assessed by Theresa and she provided a 4-6 weeks treatment plan, Theresa is amazing! I'm an educator, so I really appreciate when Theresa explains everything to me in terms of symptoms and activities for treatment. The front office staff is friendly and efficient with the onboarding and check in process. read more

I'm a physical therapist so I feel like I have an edge on evaluating the quality of care that is delivered by other PT's. My aunt was fortunate enough to be referred to Complete Balance Solutions for a diagnosis of gait disturbances and falls. Most PT offices could cobble together a treatment plan to improve strength, awareness and balance, but the care she received from Meagan was truly extraordinary. Firstly, each therapist schedules only ONE patient per hour and she will spend the entire time, one on one with the patient. The facility owns state of the art testing equipment such as a balance booth which has moving walls and shifting base and sensors to assess whether the patient is shifting and responding correctly. They combine the high tech equipment with plenty of no-frills exercises that the patient can do at home, so the takeaway is the perfect "balance" (pardon the pun)! My aunt did not work with Debbie, but I was able to observe her working with other patients, and it seemed that both therapists delivered the same brand of caring/competent therapy, so I'd highly recommend this facility. read more

Megan is an Outstanding Therapist !!! I come to CBS because I suffered from Vertigo and PPPD for 3 years. I went to so many different specialists (ENT, Neurologist, Ophthalmologist, Otolaryngologist) and the only treatment that I received were medication after medication. Finally, my ENT referred me to CBS. Megan was committed to help me from my first visit in June. She educated me with a lot of valuable information and amazing treatment options on how to treat my PPPD. After 10 weeks, I noticed tremendous improvement. I never thought I would ever recover from this horrible dizziness. Thank you so much Megan for your outstanding care and dedication toward all your patients. I appreciate you !!! read more

I drive far to come to this clinic specifically to work with physical therapist Debbie Struiksma. I've worked with her 2 other times in the past for severe physical and mental issues sustained from a car accident 8 years ago. She is by far one of the most dedicated and professional therapists I've seen and some of my deepest healing has come from her help and assistance. She thinks outside the box to help complex cases like mine and has a huge sense of patience and kindness. She reassures me when I'm facing fears about my capabilities and creates a safe and supportive environment for patients to get better. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone and am grateful for finding her. read more

Earlier this year, I attended Complete Balance Solutions to aid my recovery from concussions. I worked mostly with Maria, but also with Jackie and Esther. I'd like to commend this team who were always very positive and encouraging when the going got tough. All of my questions were answered patiently and thoroughly. The therapy was tailored to my individual needs. I could not have asked for better care. Thank you to my team and to the entire staff. read more

Debbie Struiksma saved my life. She is the most caring creative brilliant physical therapist and human being I've ever met. When doctors didn't know what to do she figured it out and never gave up on me. We had several appointments a week over the course of months. Now I can walk and work and live a normal life. I recommend patients pay any amount out of pocket cash to have the privilege of working with this woman. If she or her family ever need anything I'm there to return the favor!! 20/5 stars!! read more

Megan Mar is a life-changing vestibular/balance therapist. She diagnosed both me and a family member (a few years apart) with Superior Semi-Circular Canal Dehiscence (SSCD) before any other doctor/specialist did. This was after years of debilitating vestibular challenges (vertigo), migraines, etc. We were denied our symptoms (gaslighted) by ENTs, Neurologist, etc. Megan Mar told us what type of scan to request from the ENT. Our ENTs said that we didn't have SSCD, but that they would do the scan anyway; low and behold, the scans revealed that we indeed had SSCD. We both took our scans to the world-renowned SSCD experts Dr. Gopen and Dr. Yang at UCLA and proceeded with surgery. After surgery, we both sought balance therapy for rehabilitation. Megan Mar was the utmost expert at explaining how our brain and body work in recalibrating our eyes, ears, and brain in space. She was patient, kind, confident and clear. There is no one else I would trust with balance therapy. Please trust your gut and real experts when you are seeking help. Megan Mar is far more an expert in vestibular function than the ENTs, audiologists, and other specialists I consulted prior to being diagnosed with SSCD. She is the best. I am now 5 months post-op and just had my last visit with her. I have my life back. She truly is a gift and I would highly recommend you see her for any balance/vestibular issue. The office staff is very organized and kind as well. Making appointments was a breeze. read more

The staff was very professional courteous and friendly. They always make sure to ask me if I had any questions or concerns or if they can explain anything further. I can't believe how much my balance improved with their help. I am now able to stand and walk without fear of falling. Kind of a big deal! read more

My vestibular ENT recommended Complete Balance Solutions for vertigo and balance problems. Because of the distance and covid, we opted for Telehealth therapy. I was a bit skeptical about doing this via computer, but boy did I receive a pleasant surprise! Megan, my therapist, conducted an amazingly thorough exam via Zoom and started me out on vestibular training. After only 3 sessions I noticed a marked improvement and I've continued making progress since then. I'm a registered nurse so I've observed a lot of physical therapists, both as a nurse and as a patient, and they don't come any better than Megan. She is thorough, patient and innovative, very sensitive to her patient's needs. If there were room for 6 stars I'd add another star. Thanks, Megan read more

I have MS and am very happy with the understanding of my disease and how physical therapy can assist.

A few months ago I was diagnosed with Vestibular Migraines and 3PD by the neurotologist. He referred me for PT at Complete Balance Solutions specifically because he said that "they think outside the box there." Wow, was he right! I was scheduled to see physical therapist Megan Mar and I feel so lucky to have worked with her. Megan is an excellent educator, an attentive listener and an overall delight! She clearly explained the exercises and the rationales behind them, which really helped me understand VM and 3PD. If I didn't fully understand her initially, she adapted her explanations, which really made me feel heard. Megan was always flexible at my sessions and adjusted her plans to address my current symptoms. For example, recently I'd felt dizzy & off balance when washing my hair in the shower before I came to PT, so right off the bat we practiced strategies to deal with that! (BTW, her advice worked great!) She really is a professional with a wealth and depth of knowledge, which gave me lots of confidence in her, and I am so impressed by her creativity and attention to details. I loved being able to laugh with Megan and talk cooking & food and all kinds of things. And at the same time, I really appreciated when she would switch on a dime to seriously attend to corrections I needed to make in my form, and then return to whatever we had been talking about. I feel like I've regained so much independence: I can drive safely now in day and night and rain, I can shop at the grocery store without getting dizzy and nauseated, no more dizziness when watching TV or reading, and so much more. Awesome experience overall! Most of my symptoms are resolved or significantly improved and I've got tools now to cope - thanks Megan! Scheduling appointments was always easy and everyone at the office was friendly. Easy access off the freeway and ample free parking. read more

I first worked with Debbie S. in 2010 and was thrilled to find her again this year at Complete Balance Solutions. Debbie's incredible abilities to analyze and correct balance issues is remarkable.

Besides the excellent care you receive at the facility, she provides you with exercises to use at home that facilitate life-long changes. read more

I absolutely love this place. I have been here for two different issues and they helped me resolve both of them. Everyone here is kind and friendly and they listen. They are patient and have pride in their work. I know all the therapists are great, but I worked with Megan. She is the absolute best! I am happy to feel better but I am sad that I don't need their services because I looked forward to going. I highly recommend. read more

Excellent physical therapists - specialists who are passionate about the care they provide to their patients. If you have complex therapy issues, I know Debbie can work with you.

They're new to the area, but a well established practice throughout Orange County. read more

When you start having vertigo and balance problems it can be pretty scary. If this ever happens to you - I hope you will be as lucky as I have been to be able to go to Complete Balance Solutions n Seal Beach and have Debbie as your vestibular therapist. She is AMAZING! She cleared up me vertigo in one visit and helped me with balance over the next few months. Debbie is so easy to talk to and so down to earth - and at the same time she knows her stuff! I cannot imagine a therapist in this field who could be more knowledgeable and and able to help and yet humble. Besides Debbie being great the office is beautiful and comfortable - and Summer is always pleasant and helpful in setting appointments, etc. read more

I'm writing this to inform new possible patients on how they handle the billing situation. My insurance, Blue Shield of California, was apparently out of network, which I was never informed of. That meant that I was going to be paying most of the bill, but was never told this. After seeing them for months, I was never informed on any payment information or update on what my insurance was paying them. I stopped seeing them in March because of COVID and a few months later I received a bill for $1,400. I only saw the doctor 7-8 times. Then I received another bill for $400. Plus I paid $50 up front each visit. That is completely insane that they didn't tell me how much I was going to have to pay them. I am very upset that they did that, and I will never be returning. You have been warned! read more

The staff here is great. Debbie has been working with me since day one and she is great. She really cares about the needs for her patients. Debbie has even reached out to my Dr. in regards to my meds and had a my Dr call me to make adjustments. She loads me up with homework to keep me training at home. read more

My experience at Complete Balance has been outstanding. Meagan Mar is wonderful to wok with.
