Went to 2 Pt centers and was at each one for 6 days and progress started declining. Spoke with my physical dr Anthony (great physical doctor) and he recommended this Pt. Kristen, Mackenzie, Doreen, Gloria and the 3 other ladies who have helped (which I don't remember their names) as well as everyone in the building is amazing. Kristen has been amazing for my hand. Mackenzie has been amazing for my leg. Both have made huge progress and did within the first 10 days. Highly recommend, amazing environment with great people, took on projects that other pt places couldn't achieve progress on.

First of all, I had a few visits with Dr.Koretoff and had a great experience with both him and the…read morefront desk. They always answered the phone right away and he was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He then referred me to the physical therapy office next door and that's where the issues began. Since the first time I called, nobody ever picks up, I called 20+ times in a span of 2 weeks and each time the automated phone system made me listen to a 5 minute message about the history of San Diego Sports Medicine and the different location's phone numbers and then would proceed to hang up on me. The few times it did let me leave a message, nobody ever got back to me. It seems like nobody works at the front desk for some reason. When they finally got back to me, they made an appointment for me with the specific PT that Dr.Koretoff had requested. I was 3 weeks out from the earliest appointment which was not ideal but I had no choice but to wait. When I finally received the appointment reminder the week before the appointment, it said that the appointment will be with someone else, and not the person I had made the appointment with. The person at the front desk even confirmed that it will be with the PT I requested but that's not what they inputted in the system. As a result, I now have to wait another week to start PT. They offered no way to reconcile the situation even though it was their fault, and basically the conclusion was "tough luck, you have to pay for our mistake." In a separate conversation with the front desk again, they were explaining to me the difference between paying out of pocket vs going through insurance. They gave me the out of pocket rate but said that they can't confirm what the cost will be with insurance until I come in so I explained my deductible and the terms on my coverage to get her advice, the answer I got verbatim was "I've explained to you over and over again and it doesn't seem like you're understand so I think I'm wasting my time here." WTF? She only explained to me once, and basically indirectly called me dumb and told me I'm wasting her time? That's no way to talk to any patient especially if I'm being respectful. This is absolutely unacceptable. I don't care if you're having a bad day, you shouldn't be talking to people like that period, let alone if your job is customer service. This is absolutely the worst experience I've ever had with any front desk/customer service. It's like they hate their jobs. Do you guys no vet people before hiring them?

What can I say, he is exceptional. Not only is he a great experienced surgeon that can put a…read moreshoulder back together with his eyes shut , but his bedside manner and caring for his patients is beyond what you get with most Dr's . He is just such a sweet guy too. Very humble and cordial. He is upfront, tells you what to expect upfront and actually see you himself for aftercare and check ups. His team is also fantastic. Caring and they keep everyone up to date on whats happening when your person gets out of surgery, what to expect and what to do. Just all around you feel that everyone is in the best hands. Hands down, I would recommend him every time and I actually do every time someone asks me about a surgeon here, as I also work in the Medical field.

I have been fortunate to have been a patient of two amazing doctors at SDSM. I was a patient of…read moreDr. Elizabeth Williams until she left the clinic in 2023. Luckily, I was able to switch over to Dr. Koretoff's panel. Dr. Koretoff is one of the best providers I've ever had. He truly cares about his patients and listens to them. He's responsive to my questions and is willing to put in the time and effort to get the referrals or medications in that I need. I've had some serious health issues and know my body. I appreciate that Dr. Koretoff respects my concerns and refers me to a specialist when my medical history and/or symptoms warrant doing so. It's clear that he wants his patients to be healthy and have the best quality of life possible (even if it means having to engage in a prior authorization fight with an insurance company to do so. Additionally, the staff here - from x-ray tech to clinic staff - are friendly and treat me with respect. Thank you for keeping me healthy!

Dr. Alexandra Myers is my PCP and OMT provider. Dr. Myers is laid back and easy to talk to. She…read moreoften recommends lifestyle and natural remedies where possible, though she does prescribe medications, too - definitely a more holistic approach than traditional physicians. She's one of the few osteopaths that still does osteopathic manipulation therapy (OMT). She has been so supportive of me as I recover from an injury. Dr. Myers also did not push SDSM's PT service. 5 stars for Dr. Myers. I'd call the staff average. Being nice to them does help. Their billing department and referral departments could use some work, though. I got overcharged, and it took them 5 months to resolve what should have been very simple. Meanwhile, the referral department can be very slooooow, and inflexible. I had requested a different provider, and my PCP agreed to the change. The referral department would not accept the substitution, claiming the doctor did not send them an official referral request. Of course, I don't find this out until after several months after I started with my provider that we didn't have a "legitimate" referral. I still recommend them, but with those caveats.

I currently receive chiro care for sports injuries and to maintain support for my gym workouts. I've been coming to Sorrento Valley Chiropractic since 2021 or so, after a family friend referred both my mom and I to Dr Tim Reed. He's been absolutely incredible in my health journey due to his brilliant knowledge of chiropractic, his modern adjustment style, and his detailed notes (something that not a lot chiropractors do). Tim has also been training another highly skilled chiropractor (Jordan) in his exact methods, so that when Tim eventually retires, Jordan will be able to replicate Tim's exact adjustment style and approach - again, something that is few and far between. Jamie, the other chiropractor (and office manager), is also very skilled and extremely friendly, should Tim or Jordan not be available. You're in good hands with these guys! They also offer massage and I believe acupuncture, and fortunately also take insurance. Thanks for keeping me on the right track Tim & Jamie!

I truly appreciate the care and professionalism from the whole team.

I sought treatment at this clinic for severe right knee pain and left feeling completely dismissed…read more My experience was especially disappointing because I had previously worked with another physical therapist years ago who conducted a thorough evaluation and ultimately referred me to a specialist clinic where I was formally fitted for a custom knee brace for my left knee. That level of care helped me understand my condition and provided a path forward. At this clinic, the evaluation consisted primarily of X-rays and having me walk a few steps back and forth. Based on that minimal assessment, I was told they didn't think anything was wrong. Despite clearly explaining that I suffer from significant knee pain and that my symptoms are affecting my daily life, there was no meaningful attempt to identify the cause, discuss treatment options, evaluate my strength or mobility in depth, or provide any plan for managing the pain. What made the experience even more frustrating was that I specifically told them about my previous knee brace and the circumstances that led to it being prescribed. Rather than exploring whether a similar evaluation or referral might be appropriate for my current right knee issues, I was left sitting for roughly 20 minutes before an administrative staff member came in simply to show me knee brace options they happened to have in stock. To add insult to injury, I paid nearly $150 out of pocket after insurance for what amounted to little more than X-rays, a brief walk across the room, and being shown products for sale. I received no meaningful assessment, no treatment plan, no referral, and no support for the severe knee pain that brought me there in the first place. I came looking for professional medical guidance and a thorough physical therapy assessment. Instead, I felt like my concerns were brushed aside and the focus shifted to selling products rather than understanding why I am experiencing significant pain. Patients deserve to be listened to, evaluated carefully, and given clear recommendations. Unfortunately, my experience was a costly waste of time and money.

Dr. Bronner caused me serious harm. As I read the reviews, patients seem impressed with Dr…read more Bronner's ability to search Google and curate search results. When it comes to his ability to manage the care of patients, I learned the hard way that he truly doesn't understand what he's doing. My estradiol levels were elevated slightly above the high end of the normal range. He decides to prescribe Anastrozole, an estrogen blocker or aromatase inhibitor, at a dosage of 3mgs per week and tapering off to 1mg per week. he truly was guessing on dosage because retrospectively that dosing was way too high. Dr. Bronner didn't run any bloodwork for over a year, despite my repeated requests, and when bloodwork was actually done, my estradiol was at a non-detectable level. Low Estradiol levels caused my fascia to dry up considerably and 9 fascial adhesions formed along my anterior fascial chain and I couldn't walk without severe pain for over 2 years. Dr. Bronner never took responsibility for this major f**k up and even tried to cover his tracks with some AI generated papers in an effort to mitigate the risk of being sued. I would be very very cautious about putting your trust in Bronner Handwerger. As I went searching for a new physician, I found consensus amongst Bronner's peers that he is considered a hack. BE CAREFUL!!!!!
