Wayne and the team at Evolution Brentwood were very helpful in getting my back recovery on track after surgery. They had carefully thought out plans, great insight into anything my back was feeling, and were mindful about pacing my recovery while ramping it up over time. I'd highly recommend them. Thank you! read more

The week of my surgery, they cancelled my appointment without notice. Then my first appointment after surgery I showed up and they told me they had no therapists for me and to make another appointment. Not even an apology - Pretty much told me to kick rocks. Very unprofessional place. Haven't felt that disrespected in a long time. Would not depend on a place like this for my healing. read more

I received care from Ryeka at this location for a life altering foot injury. She followed my care for 15 months, and helped me recover and get back to a functional life style. She supported me through coping with the injury, taught me how to take care of myself, and helped me learn how consistency is better than quick progress. Other people who've cared for me at this location: Jeremy, Liz, Sam. All extremely kind, supportive and professional. read more

A top-notch PT office! Wayne is a wise and compassionate therapist who provides intelligent treatment and my injury has improved significantly since I have followed his exercise protocol. The office is managed perfectly by Hilda, and the reception team is wonderful. I pay cash and have never had a single billing or insurance issue. Regarding the wellness fee mentioned in other reviews: it is clearly stated and, (imho), this seems to be a financial literacy issue, or a lack of awareness to the reality of our current healthcare and economic systems, not a fault of this clinic. I have experienced excellent quality of care at Evolution. Highly recommended! read more

I went to Evolution right after my soldier surgeries last summer. Lisa has been great and a huge part of my recovery process. She helped me navigate not one but two surgeries, and is so kind and personable! I have also worked with the greater team and they have been great. The front desk has helped me with insurance processing and making sure that I have what I need to be able to attend the sessions. They also offer a group recovery training which is amazing! Recommended this location to others as well! read more

I went to Evolution for PT and they are terrific. My PT, Lisa, was first rate and helped me achieve my goals. She always found a way to modify or tweak my rehab to make sure I was safely moving forward and making progress. I highly recommend! read more

Ryeka and team Evolution are INCREDIBLE! I've had a knee and shoulder surgery's. Each time, Ryeka was the Physical Therapist that helped me. She has experience with your injury, knows what took place with surgery, understands your Doctor's orders, and is amazing with creating your individualized physical therapy. She's very intuitive with your limitations and your progression. My Doctors have praised my recoveries and I owe it to Ryeka and Team Evolution! read more

I've been coming to Evolution Physical Therapy ever since my spine surgery last year. Wayne has been instrumental in guiding my recovery, helping me strengthen my core and regain my balance. He's been a total rockstar! The gym itself is very comfortable, well-maintained, and beginner-friendly. I'm very thankful to have found Evolution, and I'm looking forward to continuing my recovery there. read more

Evolution has great quality care with attentive and educated therapists that create an environment that is fun, engaging and functional. I had the pleasure of working with both Wayne and Griffin, both of whom were evidently knowledgeable in their field and were effective at implementing a program that was increasingly d They have an easy check-in system that is virtually completed, which is helpful when the front desk is busy. However, there were some moments when the virtual check in would take longer than the in-person check in, so I would have preferred if virtual check-in was used as an alternative if the front desk is not available as opposed to the main check-in. read more

This review is mainly to let other patients know that Evolution will continue to charge you a weekly fee even if you stop going. I did two sessions at evolution, and was charged for months afterwards. It wasn't clear to me this would happen, though I'm sure it was somewhere in the long contract. My PT was good! It was the billing that was a surprise. read more

5+ stars for my physical therapist who is (shocker) no longer here. 5+ stars for Amanda at the front desk who is always on top of things and super genuine and kind and knowledgeable. But otherwise, *WARNING* If you go here PLEASE get and keep all of your receipts !! (Read the other reviews also!) There is some severely sketchy practices going on here and I've heard from other people they too have been having issues with the manager and billing department. I have paid double what I owe from being told I still owe money and they point to their faulty system and claim it is right and that's that and I wasn't able to show receipt proof for half of it because I pay cash and Amanda hadn't started working yet and Daisy wasn't able to figure out how to send me receipts. But both women were able to corroborate that I am on top of my payments. Hilda seems distracted and overwhelmed and the whole place seems mismanaged under her. I tried to stick around as the location was easy for me and I like Amanda but the the physical therapist I saw at this location went above and beyond and was so wonderful, genuine, caring and helpful that none of the ones still around come even close to her. Once she left, the place felt all more like a money grabbing business that could not care less about you and no longer like a place for healing and care. Also! As much as I love my physical therapist, we did do two sessions of 'RBF' (restrictive blood flow- I wish I asked more questions about dangers) and I got a intramuscular myxoma in the same leg within this time frame. Doctors do not know enough about these tumors as they aren't fatal and researched enough but my surgeon did say it is highly coincidental that it occurred in the same leg and spot as the RBF. A $5,000 (!!!!!!!!) (insurance estimated $35,000) two hour long outpatient surgery later my year of physical therapy has completely gone out the window because I had to rest my leg for a few weeks... I am livid. So PLEASE be wary !! Don't get totally blindsided and ripped off and used by this place like I did!! I haven't been since May, made sure to be all settled before I left, and I JUST RECEIVED A BILL for $95. Again told the system is right and cannot be wrong. I am just waiting for someone to out this company as some sort of shady business rather than an actual physical therapy practice . read more

I have been really pleased with the progress I have made here at Evolution thanks to Lisa! She totally understood my needs and provided all the exercises for my improvement..which has been getting better since coming here..They always text to remind you of your times..everyone who works there is great.. read more

Evolution is different because it's about performance rather than just returning to normal. It's about being stronger (and safer) than you were before your injury. They kick your butt if you ask for it, and you'll be better off for it. I've been seeing Ryeka for multiple injuries and appreciate the care she has put not only into my program, but into getting to know my specific needs, goals, and mitigating health challenges. Serious injury requires serious commitment, and Evolution is the best place I've experienced that partners with you in that recovery. Note that this is a smaller location, and others like Playa Vista offer more space and services. Parking is not included, so if you have a severe leg injury, it's best to be dropped off. read more

Easy access, nice setting with competent and professional staff, both physical therapists and front desk

BE CAREFUL AND DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD. They asked me for a credit card to have in file and after now two months after I have finished my therapy, they are still charging my card. Called them few times still the charges are going on read more

AVOID THIS BUSINESS! While the therapists are good, the corporate management is terrible. They charge you a weekly fee that is separate from your patient fee, even if you are no longer a patient! They charged me for months after I stopped going there and would not refund me. I asked to speak to a manager and did not even receive a call back after I left a message for that person. You, as a patient, appear to not matter to their management. Also, you get charged for parking every time you go. Those weekly extra costs add up ($40 - $50 a month). I switched to a different physical therapy clinic that treated me like a real person, not just a piggy bank. I highly do NOT recommend this business! read more

Ryeka has been very helpful. When I arrived I had hip pain and knee pain as well. My goal was to be pain free. And after several weeks, I almost am! She is a good listener, and tailors her interventions and remarks to my particular condition. She encourages me to keep at the work and she herself is consistent in her work with me. I am very grateful, and highly recommend Ryeka. read more

I am 77 and have had a lot of PT, especially since arthritis. I came to see Sammy for my shoulders. Unlike any other PT I have gone to she understood that she couldn't just do the shoulder muscles but needed to work on my neck and spine. She is so good and so smart. She listens and modifies treatment that conflicts with other treatment I doing. I feel very lucky to be in her care. She definitely gets an A plus! read more

Been in and out of a lot of physical therapy facilities. Evolution Brentwood is by far the best experience I've ever had. Ryeka is an absolute star. She has been by my side every step of the way, pushed me to work harder, stay motivated but also is nothing but honest. She is everything you need in a PT and more. I would recommend her and this facility 1000 times over! read more

After an extensive lumbar spine surgery with two fusions and a nerve decompression, Wayne helped me get strong again and back to myself (even with titanium in my lower back!). He is focused, hard-working, and has a no-nonsense approach. I found him incredibly motivating by his seriousness and excellent exercises that strengthened me immeasurably. I am very grateful to him for my full recovery. The office support staff are always available and make it very easy to communicate and manage appointments. read more

At age 70 and having been active most of my life, I have been to physical therapy several times. Some places have been wonderful, others not so great. Evolution falls in the wonderful category. I was treated for a 15 year old partially torn rotator cuff. Wayne was magnificent in working with me to strengthen my shoulder and giving me the tools to continue its improvement now that I have completed my program. I will still be able to avoid surgery. Wayne was kind, patient and understanding. He explained my issues and what steps were necessary in my recovery. He answered all of my questions. His knowledge of therapy and of the human body generally was impressive. Unfortunately, I also have a back issue but I have already made plans to return to Evolution and look forward to working with Wayne again. Also, the staff at the Brentwood location were lovely: friendly, attentive and efficient. Finally, 3/4 of the patients were much younger than I was but there were several other older clients as well. It seemed that every person was treated with kindness and respect by all of the therapists read more

Be careful of this company. They charge you a $3 per week indefinitely whether you are seeing a therapist or not. I hadn't seen a therapist in 2 months and was still being charged every week. They say that they disclose this charge but I have not been able to find where this was disclosed. They are relying on people not to notice this charge so they can continue to take your money without providing any services. read more

No privacy for evaluations. No towels or paper covers on the tables where your head lies; no covers for the "pillow" either, and the table didn't look sprayed between patients. And a computer system for scheduling future appointments with a live person popping up on the screen who is actually off-shore! Worst experience I have ever had with any PT or PT office. Unprofessional, dirty facility and cold, uncaring therapist. So upsetting. read more

I was so excited to go to Evolution PT in Brentwood to rehab my broken leg and learn to walk without the walker, gain strength, and confidence, etc. When doing my intake I explained I have an auto immune disease, what it was etc. that there were certain things I can and can't do, to pls. be careful with me, etc. At first it was amazing, I was getting stronger and more confident. The PT instructor told me there is a difference b/t being sore and having pain. Then I had the manager for the first time and he pushed me like no other, disregarding my pain, and how hard his exercises were for me. I did what he said b/c he said I could do it, he was the therapist and I trusted him. I went home with not only pain in my injured foot we were rehabbing, but tons of pain, redness and swelling in my non injured foot. I called and emailed the manager immediately and he said not to worry. Well I was in so much pain and it hurt to walk so I had to go as an emergency patient to see my ortho and to a foot and ankle specialist, get X-Rays, and an MRI. I am currently in a boot in the other foot now because the manager there pushed me to hard and physically caused me to re injure an old injury from 15 years ago. My PT guy had the nerve to say to me, this could be good as it gets me out more. I then, wish I didn't go back to my PT guy b/c my ortho said I needed to not neglect the leg we were rehabbing in the first place and that I could do chair exercises. While there we argued b/c he wanted me to work out harder and more and kept pushing me, and I hurt my right upper leg and hip. I had to go to the ER and get an X-Ray. This pain, strain is like no other. It hurts to cough, use the restroom, sneeze and walk. Before I left with the new injury the PT therapist said " Next time we will go even harder." I have never had upper leg and or hip pain before. Please know I have been doing PT since 2019 at other places, and when I broke my rght foot and leg, I did PT 5 days a week for 3 months where I was staying and I even had in home therapy when I went home. So I no stranger to therapy. I never once got injured by any of the other therapists. Next week I have to go to another PT place and with the boot, the walker, re hab my hip injury caused by Evolution. I am in the boot for the other injury they caused me until it heals. I go back to the foot and ankle specialist in 2 weeks. He told me "the Walker is now my best friend." I went to Evolution to get off the walker. It tough because if I don't walk a little I can get motility issues again, so I am allowed to walk in my home with a walker and half a lap in the hallway. Prior to these inuries caused by Evolution I was walking in my home without the walker, and doing laps in my hallway with the walker with ease. Now it is painful for me to even walk with the walker to the bathroom. I did reach out in hopes of some support and I did ask them to pay for my Xray on my hip, I think they should be responsible for all my medical bills that they caused, and the pain and suffering they have caused me, but I know life doesn't work that way. I write this because I don't want anyone else to get hurt like I have. I wouldn't recommend Evolution to my worst enemy. Tears, as I am so much worse then when i started all b/c they didn't listen and use the proper exercises, etc. on me. They hurt not healed me. I wish I never went there!!!! read more

AWESOME PT! Or as awesome as PT can be. Wayne helped me through two procedures, and Meredith one before those. (Yeah, yeah, I'm fallin' apart.) Both were great. Wayne knows his stuff and always explains not just what to do, but the reasoning behind what to do, in a concise and thorough manner, which I prefer to those who just do things by rote. What's more, he's always very sensitive to the ins and outs of how my body's handling PT, varying the routines accordingly. And he's always in a good mood (weird, I know), even when I'm cranky and not wanting to be there. Everyone else in the place is always in a good mood, too, from the front desk people to the baby physical therapists who assist. And very helpful. Best of all, the place is never overbooked and jam-packed. I've recommended this place to others in the past, and will do so in the future. If ya gotta do PT, this is the place to go. read more

They were pretty bad. I am "senor" with leg and back pain. My sessions were done without privacy. It was done in open gym with lots of "jocks" stopping by to watch and comment. If fact I got the feeling that Evolution was trying to send me a gym membership. I was there because Medicare said I had to go before I could get more serious treatment. Also the company that Evolution use for billing keeps billing me, telling me Blue Cross/ Blue Shield for the suppliment. BC/BS keeps telling me that they have paid the required suppliment. I am caught in middle. read more

Came here after some knee pain while training for my first marathon. Wayne and the rest of the team clearly love what they do and the results speak for themselves. No more knee pain and now training for marathon #2! read more

Ryeka has been amazing throughout my recovery from my third surgery for an ACL tear. I'm grateful to have her in my corner. She strikes the perfect balance between incredibly kind and supportive, while knowing exactly when to push me to do more. She keeps me accountable in a way that motivates rather than overwhelms. She goes above and beyond. Beyond guiding me through exercises, she takes time to suggest things I can do at home to help my recovery. She's proactive about staying in touch with my doctors, asking thoughtful questions, and making sure my care is encompassing. Her communication and attention to detail, especially regarding my most recent surgery and unique recovery, give me complete confidence in her approach. She takes the time to research and understand my unique recovery process and I am truly grateful for her. All of the PT's I have worked with there and staff have been amazing. read more

Had been dealing with a nagging lower back injury for roughly six months. Wouldn't improve despite rest / self-rehab. Started working with Ervin and the exercises / stretches prescribed immediately got me on the road to recovery. Great atmosphere and Ervin even stayed well past our one-hour sessions to answer any questions I had. read more

As a patient of Matt's, I highly recommend Matt Schultz for ACL physical therapy. I went through the entire PT recovery process with him after my ACL surgery. He strikes the right balance between encouraging and challenging you. But he's not a miracle worker - you have to do your exercises, follow his directions, and THEN you'll recover. It's a long process but he will get you through it. read more

This place stands out among all the others I've been to. Griffin is exceptional. I completely trust him, and he helps me so much without putting me in pain. He is very careful and caring. He definitely does not " call it in," as some therapists do. I love how understanding and patient he is regarding what I can and can't do. If he has to attend to another client, he keeps his eye on me and pops over as soon as I finish my reps. I really recommend him and this place. read more

A great physical therapy place. They do an amazing job with people of all ages & they can work on you if flat footed, injured or healthy.

Meredith is Awesome a highly skilled therapist as I have had many years of PT in different places. & Abby is so friendly! Space is tiny as to why I couldn't give it a full 5 stars read more

I came to Evolution Physical Therapy after a car accident had injured my shoulder and made it difficult for me to lift weights without pain. But after working consistently with the trainers here (shoutout to Jadah and Wayne!), I've made an incredible recovery and have gotten back to lifting the weight that I used to. I felt seen and supported throughout my entire recovery here, and I felt like my treatment plan was really individualized to my specific goals and needs. The trainers I worked with were extremely knowledgable and helpful in my rehabilitation, working with me to create a program that fit for my health plan, and allowed me to incrementally regain strength/stability in my shoulder. They were also very communicative and easily accessible if I had any questions throughout. I couldn't recommend Evolution PT Brentwood enough for anyone looking to rehabilitate and work through pain/difficulties with their body. Thank you for helping me get back up on the horse! read more

Outstanding care! Jadah and her associates were able to help me recover to fully active health in time for my sports season

Can't say enough incredible things about working with Ervin! I've worked with several PTs over the years with various sports-related injuries and he far surpasses them all. He truly gets to the root of the issue and was dedicated to help me overcome them and continue to train at a high intensity. He worked with me to actually figure out how to fix my injury and problems (even a long-standing problem that had never gotten better) and maintenance that was specific to me, not just blanket exercises, so I could perform at the level that was needed. You can tell he truly cares about his clients. Can't recommend him enough! read more

Wayne Gilmour and all the staff at Evolution Physical Therapy, Brentwood have really supported me with my recovery. I was hit by a car walking as a pedestrian and sustained many injuries and health complications. When I came into Evolution PT, I was in a wheelchair and on oxygen. With steady support and weekly excercises/activities guided by Wayne and his team, I've gone from wheelchair to walker and now I'm getting around with a cane (no oxygen tank attached to me). He assures me I'll be able to walk without assisted devices as we continue my PT plan. Wayne is very knowledgeable and has a way of placing me, a 60 year old, Baby Boomer, at ease, amongst all the younger, fit, hard body clients that come into their office for PT and Fitness Training. Wayne and David (his Assistant) helped to save my life and Hilda's friendly greeting at the front desk always makes my day! read more

Amazing results guaranteed! After suffering from an injured shoulder for months, I ended up with Wayne at Evolution Physical Therapy. Not only is your condition fully explained in details, as well as the remedies and the expected outcome, but you are provided with your exercise "homework" to amplify the results. Wayne is excellent in his field, considerate and thorough and you can expect great results. Appointments are easy to schedule and Hilda is a pleasure to work with. David will assist you in the exercises with precision and relentless attention. Altogether, a great team and guaranteed results in a great setting. Get your one-hour parking validated by Coffee Bean by purchasing a banana for $0.95. I have already recommended to everyone I know who might need physical therapy. read more

Ervin and Matt are two of the best in the business. They know their craft, they take pride in what they do, and i always leave feeling better than when i arrive read more

Can't recommend this branch of Evolution enough. The staff are all very friendly and Wayne Gilmour and Sam Herrera are both fantastic trainers. I was having trouble with my ankle and shoulder and Wayne helped me rehab both. I've gone to other trainers before and have never been impressed. So lucky I found them here. read more
