You will really like this place. Not only are the therapists knowledgeable but they're also caring and friendly. All you have to do is follow instructions. You will not be kept waiting for long, they are also timely. If you're looking for functional fitness, these are your people; they offer gym services with professional oversight and individually aimed exercises. read more

They provide limited direct physical therapy. I had 2 sessions with an initial diagnostic and post exit. I need to be close to 100% as I'm young and need to walk the rest of my life. My needs were not listened to even though I advocated for myself. read more

.C.O.R.E. Began providing physical therapy for me at my home after a cervical fusion. I continued the therapy at the office in Fullerton on Harbor Boulevard. The staff is professional, supportive, patient, and caring. The treatment is innovative and personalized With regular reassessment and modification as indicated. Pain management and a home exercise program are also provided . I highly recommend this teamof professionals and the program they offer. read more

Every time I went here to get treated, the exercises they made me do, made me more disabled. I hobbled to my car after each visit with much more severe pain than I arrived with. After each session I couldn't walk for a few days. On my last visit - June 14, 2023 the student trainee had me do uncomfortable exercises with a broomstick with way too much motion for my injury. The actual physical therapist was not supervising this treatment - just the student trainee. After this 6/14/23 treatment I was UNABLE TO WALK FOR OVER A MONTH so I stopped going to CORE. It turns out I need lumbar spine surgery which is why the exercises made my condition worse instead of better. CORE is now telling my insurance (Aetna) that I was uncompliant because I stopped treatment. I STOPPED TREATMENT BECAUSE IT WAS CRIPPLING ME & CAUSING ME SEVERE PAIN. Not because I didn't want to comply. Now Aetna doesn't want to approve my L5-S1 laminectomy because CORE told them I was uncompliant. The management at CORE yelled at me last year when I asked for a refund. I just didn't think it was fair for them to charge me hundreds of dollars to make me more disabled. The management/owner does not care that the treatment was causing me excruciating pain & making me unable to walk. They just want to cover their ass because they are afraid of being held legally accountable. read more

I cannot speak highly enough about C.O.R.E Physically Therapy. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and truly committed to getting you better. As long as you're willing to put in the work, you will have amazing results. I had a total knee replacement and after 2 weeks they had my knee bending to almost normal at 120 degrees. Whether you get a doctor, a therapist or student, they are all amazing read more

Unfortunately, my experience with Core Therapy was disappointing. I explained that the authorization form from our orthopedic surgeon could be submitted to our PPO insurance for coverage, but the person kept putting me on hold to ask his supervisor instead of letting me speak to them directly. I'm sure a quick call to the insurance could have resolved it, but they just didn't seem interested in helping or taking the business. read more

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at C.O.R.E. I spent 13 weeks with them. It doesn't matter who sees you because they are a team of angels. You can feel the positive energy in the building, seriously. Everyone is so helpful and kind. They help you push yourself forward while doing so gently. I always left feeling better than when I went in. They have taught me skills that I can utilize every day for instant relief. I also enjoyed the aquatics program they hold at The Y. If ever you're in need of some PT or even a massage, I 10/10 recommend them! read more

I had work on my shoulder. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. The equipment and tables were clean. Overall, a pleasant experience. read more

So I wrote a one star review on CORE back in late June. A week or two after I submitted the review I received a call from the manager of the PT department asking me what happened during my first appointment and then taking full responsibility and apologizing for my negative experience. She said they absolutely should have sat down with me and went over each exercise to not only give me a proper workout but to also ensure I'm doing the exercises correctly. This is their normal procedure. The manager extended an offer to have me come and give them another opportunity to help me with my knee. I accepted. I just left my second PT appointment and I'm very pleased with the quality of the therapist, the quality of the equipment, and I feel confident I'm in good hands and should start feeling better soon. They say it not about how a person falls down but what's really important is how they get back up. CORE and I may have gotten off to a rocky start but they acknowledge there was an issue and fixed it in an impressive manner. I'm glad I'm going here. read more

CORE has it all. Was going to a different place for PT and was at a plateau. Switched to CORE and I've been improving.

I had to go to this place last year because Aetna was my new insurance. I was not happy with the service. All they want me to do was exercise. I told them that I need a back massage to relieve my back pain. They just made my back pain worse. The people that work here are not friendly, not helpful and they're lazy. I had a worse experience to this place. They don't deserve even 1 Star. read more

I don't recommend this place. The staff were neither friendly nor thorough in their explanations, and everything felt rushed and careless. They said they accepted insurance, but I ended up being heavily charged. When I asked the staff about it, they simply told me to call the insurance company myself. If you're planning to go, make sure to check everything carefully beforehand. read more

These guys make to so difficult to get scheduled for physical therapy. I don't recommend them!

A massage with Chris is awesome. I've always set up the 50 minute, it you have options for 30 and I think 15 too.

I can't begin to describe the gratitude I have for this place! Wonderful staff and very caring. I appreciate the fact that the student therapists are extremely knowledgeable and you wouldn't know their students at all. they're so good. Grateful to my massage therapist Christian for his expertise in his craft! I have to say it's definitely not your typical fluff and fold massage. Those are his words! He really gets to the depth of my problems and I am very appreciative. I definitely would recommend coming here for all of your physical therapy needs. read more

Dr. Kim is the best acupuncturist and listens to your patient needs. Always follows up with cate and helped me with my chronic neck back and knee issues. I'm such a baby and he's truly a gem. If you are afraid of needs I promise you can't feel them. With his precision and focus, he is a true blessing read more

My therapist Cristian helped me out so much. I feel so much better, very nice and professional.

The entire team at Core is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. The physical therapists & aides truly care about their patients and do their best to deliver effective services. I was involved in a rear-end motor vehicle accident 9 months ago and have been undergoing physical (and other neurological) treatments since then. Physical therapy has been such a huge part of my recovery journey; I have been able to successfully strengthen all of the affected areas of my body through the therapists' guidance. Thank you to Dr. Beyrooty, Kyle Salcedo (SPT), Dr. Contreras, Dr. Kim, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Comeford, Jacob Verket (ATC), and Frank Lopez (PTA) for your genuine care for the patients. read more

I highly recommend Utsavi Parikh for physical therapy sessions because She has helped me with my sciatic pain to the point that it's almost gone !!! read more

I've been to different physical therapy places and none are as good as CORE. They set up different workout exercises watch my progress then change it again to make it more challenging. I've had different Physical Therapists and they are all on the same page. The CORE in Fullerton has a very good staff. Ruben T. read more

Bad bad service! Not very thorough for my husband's evaluation at all! They rushed through it each time he went for his visit! Like a revolving door! Not a pleasant experience at all! Stay away from this place! read more

I was having the treatment for my left and right shoulders for my rotator cuff surgery. After my rehabilitation of my left shoulder I went back after the right shoulder surgery to have the rehabilitation for the right shoulder treatment guess what they want to charge me for another $100.00 as a new patient. I was confused because I've been getting the rehab treatment for many months already. read more

Very disappointed in this place. Years ago I went here, I had a good experience, then the doctor left to start his own practice. Like a previous client mentioned, this place is like an assembly line. The lady Krista Contreras did a horrible job. She tried to give me a massage, but she was panting. It was very uncomfortable. Not being mean, but she really needs to lose weight. She is a physical therapist who's 5.5" and 350lbs. I am not at my optimal weight either, but this lady is a Physical Therapist. She really needs to get on a healthy diet regiment. It felt as if physically she was struggling to give me a massage. Her arms were huge, it appeared like she struggles with holding her arms up to massage me. The doctor Harold Pan gave a better massage but was less than professional and opportunistic. First, he asked that I always schedule with him. After working with Krista Contreras I understood why. Then he tried to up-sell me on procedures that were not covered by my insurance company. I am still getting Physical Therapy, but I changed the provider to a place more attentive. The front desk guy Mitchell. I really liked him. He was nice and professional and extremely accommodating. He get's the one star. read more

Core Physical Therapy - CORE Physical Therapy Fullerton - Physical Therapy Near Me - Fullerton, California

This location is far for us considering it we live in a Anaheim hills, but it's worth the drive with the care my daughter receives. The girl in the front is kind and helpful when entering they are Covid safe if you're concerned about that. We have a physical therapy student who does my daughters PT, he's Kevin. He's always so helpful and willing to answer any questions! He never makes us feel silly for any questions we have which we appreciate it since this is all new to us. I appreciate the fact that he watches my daughter in case she's in pain and doesn't speak up because she's super shy. He's very patient and you can tell he really enjoys his job and cares for the people! read more

I love CORE Physical Therapy in Fullerton! I live close to Hoag Hospital Irvine and went to their Physical Therapy department for issues with lymphedema due to cancer. It was an awful experience. The work the Hoag physical therapist did actually made my lymphedema worse! My Hoag orthopedic specialist actually referred me to CORE PT in Fullerton after the horrible care I received at his own hospital. I drove to CORE Physical Therapy in Fullerton from my home in Irvine for 2 months, 3 times a week. The personable staff members at the front desk greeted me with welcoming smiles and were always so helpful. Dr. Contreras was absolutely incredible! She was friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very well trained. I truly feel that she saved my life. I had limited mobility when Dr. Contreras started working with me and ended with almost 100 percent mobility. That is unheard of for the type of injury I had. Her aides, Artie and Frank, were also incredible. They were kind, helpful, patient, and innovative. Dr. Contreras, Artie, and Frank helped me so much which in turn motivated me to continue the exercises at home. I am happy to report that thanks to CORE Physical Therapy staff members, I am finally living my best life. I would recommend CORE, their physical therapists, and their aides without reservations. read more

WOW! After reading Monia's response, I am so incredibly thankful I will not ever return to C. O. R. E. Yet another fine display of unprofessional, unacceptable behavior. This is not a medical facility. It's a physical therapy facility. Clearly, you have no idea how a real medical facility operates. Making irresponsible statements, untrue statements, and casting further aspersions on a consumer's character is not a good look. I was disrespected and verbally attacked. I was pressured to sign blank documents. Documents were altered by Rebecca after I signed them. I have proof. Spare me your phony, hollow best wishes. Everyone knows you're not sincere. Lot of anger there on your part. Hope you get it resolved sooner than later. read more

CORE has really improved my health and my recovery from foot surgery. This is the second PT I went to and the difference is night and day. Professional, clean, friendly, knowledgeable, with multiple staff which provides a variety of skills to apply to my recovery. You can get 15 minute massages, take ten dollar balance and strength classes, and they do workman's comp injury which is what I do. My 86 yo mom and mom-in-law have taken the classes here. The staff are wonderful with them and keep them safe from falls while they work on their balance and strength. Best place. Best people. read more

After having a horrible experience with a different physical therapy place, I was referred to C.O.R.E. I was immediately put at ease from the very first phone call. They are kind and compassionate and really care about their patients. I only wish I had been sent here first! read more

My go to spot for my weekly massages it has improved my overall chronic pain. The staff is friendly and always willing to help. 10/10

Core PT is a great place! All of the locations are great, but I especially like the one in Anaheim Hills. All of the staff is great, especially Fanny the receptionist. S he is so caring and helpful. I use a walker and she is always there to. help me out. She opens the door for me and always looks out for my bus. Christian is a great masseuse. I wish I could get one every time I'm there. I My Dr. sent me there 4 years ago, and I'm still there for wellness. I definitely would recommend it to anyone! read more

I had a back injury on Workman's Comp. I was sent to Core in Fullerton. I was treated with respect, and I recovered completely. That is why I asked my rheumatologist to send me to Core for my knee problems. The staff was wonderful and I had significant improvement. I highly recommend Core Physical Therapy in Fullerton. They take good care of their patients. read more

CORE Therapy with it's four locations in Orange County receives our great gratitude for assisting me back to recovery from Sciatica. Our doctor didn't give me any improvement. Finally by receiving massages and exercises at CORE did the painful problem go away. The PT team seem to be highly trained and very caring about improving your condition. The front office gals are very friendly and efficient. My wife who is recovering from surgery uses there very modern equipment - such as a treadmill with IFIT training videos of places worldwide to do her cardio workout. It makes the time to improve your body a more pleasurable experience. After the initial prescribed treatment there are continuing therapeutic programs one can do for better health. We will always be grateful for their professional efforts to bring a good quality of life back to us. The facility and staff are all COVID compliant. J & J read more

CORE in Fullerton has been our go to location for PT for both myself and my husband for many years. DR Comeford really took excellent care of me after a shoulder break just as the lockdown commenced. Both Zoom and in person after staff was vaccinated. DR Comeford was and is so encouraging and comforting (crying a few times) during our sessions. Real big shout out to entire staff of pt assistants, DR's students and office staff. I thank you and highly recommend this Fullerton location. Lots of alternative therapies here too, acupuncture, massage, training, ,laser therapy, fitness. read more

Really great group of Physical Therapy Doctors (DPT) and Physical Therapy Aides. They even have a Massage Therapist on site and Fitness Training classes. The front desk ladies are all friendly and helpful. They knew how to work with our insurance for billing without hassles. Scheduling was easy and much more flexible than another PT place I was originally referred too. Thank you Dr. Contreras for your patience and willingness to customize the treatment plan for my teenage son with a knee injury! He has gotten stronger and has less pain now because of you! read more

I once read that massage is a necessity parading as a luxury. These words could not be more true for me. Massage is a medical necessity. I started searching for medical or therapeutic massage because my pain management center only covered 10 minute massages that did nothing except exacerbate my back pain. I was a huge fan of a massage business in Westminster where I had 2 hour massages for 40 bucks and tip. I've given that up for Chris here at CORE. It's one dollar a minute and there are 25 or 50 minute sessions, plus tip. And dang, he earns every penny. Yesterday I was in bad shape with a migraine, and rather than cancel my appointment, my friend drove me, and seriously -- Chris ENDED my migraine. I'm stunned by how brilliant he is at his craft. He finds the whole line of jacked up musculature and ends it. I've had more freedom in my turtle shell back after seeing him than I've had in decades. Chris is the one. Truly. Let me not forget to mention that the ladies at the front are welcoming, patient, helpful. Parking doesn't tend to be an issue. And masks are required. Enjoy! read more

Second time I decided to go to Core Physical Therapy over two other places. I picked them because of location. It was like an assembly line, where there was no feeling of personal attention. They even forgot to get back to me when I sat in a chair having lite therapy which I paid extra for. But, oh they were ever so attentive, even trying to get a $35.00 cancellation fee I don't know I owed, with turning it over to collections. I'm at Coury and Buehler now and geez what a difference. Hey guys get it together and treat your patients like there more than a money machine to you. read more
