Alli's assessment elevated my ability to explore Santa Barbara more via my passions of hiking and…read moresurfing and significantly elevated my weight training in the gym. Working with Alli has made my overall wellness routine more effective and balanced. My goals are a long-term sustainable healthy lifestyle. Alli asked critical questions to learn about my health and fitness goals and listened to the areas that challenged me. We developed a simple weekly workout routine (including gym and outdoor activities, e.g., hiking and surfing) focused on the balance my body needed for weekly and long-term wellness. I am grateful for the four assessment tips I am mindful of in all activities. Without seeing Alli, these adjustments would have taken me years to realize and implement on my own, if ever. For that, I would have paid double. I suggest seeing Alli for an assessment, whether you are resolving a known challenge and or looking to improve your ability to explore our beautiful landscape via your passions.

I scheduled as a new patient but chose not to move forward after reviewing the paperwork and asking…read morequestions about a billing policy that I believe patients should be aware of before starting care. Their new patient paperwork states that a $100 "Administrative Fee" is due at the time of evaluation, is not billed to insurance, and is charged "per case." I was told over the phone that different referral areas, such as cervical spine and lumbar spine, could be treated as separate cases. When I called for clarification, the office confirmed that this fee is for internal administrative tasks such as maintaining the patient profile, correspondence with doctors, referrals, and related office communications. They also confirmed it is charged in addition to insurance copays/coinsurance and is not billed to insurance because they consider it "non-medical." Patients using Tricare, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or any in-network insurance plan should be very careful before paying this type of fee. For covered medical care, your patient responsibility should generally be determined by your insurance plan/EOB - such as copay, deductible, or coinsurance - not by a separate office-created "administrative," "access," or "per case" fee. Tricare/TriWest specifically told me that both the facility and PT were in-network for my plan and that contracted providers may not charge beneficiaries separate administrative, concierge, or access fees for medical services. The Tricare/TriWest Provider Handbook states: "Providers may not charge TRICARE beneficiaries administrative fees." This is especially concerning for elderly, disabled, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and military-family patients who may assume that if a front desk asks for payment, they are legally required to pay it. Before paying any separate fee like this, I strongly recommend calling your insurance plan and asking: Is this provider in-network for my exact plan? Are they allowed to collect a separate administrative/access fee in addition to my copay, deductible, or coinsurance? Should I pay anything that is not shown as my responsibility on an EOB? I cannot speak to the quality of the physical therapy itself because I canceled before being seen. But I did not feel comfortable receiving care from a practice that required this type of fee and did not respond to my written questions asking what non-covered service the fee was for.

Over the years, I have watched the trainers with various clients and have seen the benefits of individualized training. For me the biggest barrier to be a full member was the time commitment. However, I started noticing some muscle imbalance issues and pain that needed attention before they became worse. I took the big step and joined as a full client. In my assessment, they looked at my strengths and weaknesses, and wrote me up a plan specific for me and what I needed. The trainers are all amazing. I never feel like I'm just killing myself with the work out... I feel more like little steps that build me into a stronger person. Workouts are easy to schedule, the physical therapist that treat you are both incredible. I tell them they have "healing hands." All the trainers and clients are so friendly. You almost feel like you're part of a family. I would strongly recommend The Lab for anybody that is serious, about their health, mobility, and longevity.

My therapist was very kind and explained in detail what was going on with my body as well as how I could help myself continue to improve. I am thinking it might be good for me to return for "regular" therapy. I also felt that the notes were very thorough even though they didn't address causation as I had hoped. A neighbor of mine had a stroke and was placed here for care. I visited him and found that the rooms in skilled nursing appeared to be clean and comfortable. And the staff were kind and compassionate. I think I would have benefited from staying here for a few days after my surgery in June of 2014. I wasn't doing all that well at home by myself.

As for the provider, my therapist (Dr. Jon Sakoda) has also been amazing! I had a full ACL and meniscus repair and he has answered all of my questions, worked with me on building strength in a reasonable timeline, and I have always felt like he listened and made adjustments whenever necessary. I truly feel that everyone I've come into contact with at Hayashida genuinely cares about my health and wellbeing, and that can be hard to come by in a medical setting! I'll be forever grateful to everyone at that office and will actually be sad when my treatment ends.

This review pertains to the practice, not the therapist. My physical therapist is wonderful, but if…read moreI need PT in the future I will go elsewhere. The issue is administrative - Sutter dictates that you can only make two appointments in a row instead of scheduling further out. The problem is that very often there is no availability. My therapist has instructed me to return weekly, but, for me, half the time the appointments end up being every two weeks. That has made it more difficult for me to meet my treatment goals - the therapist says we will add something new next week, but it ends up being two weeks later. That not only means that it takes much longer to complete your treatment, but the long gaps can lead to a less successful result. Update: I found this note in my Sutter chart: This patient got all rude as soon as she couldn't get an appt when SHE wanted. She is non post op and doesn't understand why Sutter Health has a policy of only 2 appts at a time when SHE needs to get in. She said she wrote a bad review about our practice and will continue to talk bad about our practice, but not the therapists. She is very unhappy and says she will probably look elsewhere. It is not like it was a matter of my convenience and I insisted on mornings when they offered afternoons or I wanted a Monday and they offered a Tuesday. I was trying to comply with my therapist's instructions to return weekly - it had nothing to do with what "I" wanted - but it is true, I don't understand why they only make two appointments ahead. I have had lots of PT over the years and they have always scheduled multiple appointments at the start of treatment and sometimes even all of the appointments for the duration of the treatment plan. In addition, I absolutely did not say that I talked "bad" about the practice. What I said is that I could not recommend it to others because of the way they schedule appointments. I stand by that opinion, and I should I need PT in the future I will absolutely seek care elsewhere.

Here is why: They struggled with my daughter- fair enough…read more She was in a tough spot but then they recommended an affiliated clinic in Orange County that "is set up for the services she needs" . They were not "exactly" covered by insurance I was told but if I sent $4500, they would cover her until the end of Dec when we she could "move to another place in our network that your insurance covers". I later learned that wasn't true, and that there was no other facility covered by our insurance in Orange County. This was just the first of their dishonest actions. Moreover, the therapies they had promoted as so unique and suited to her were never used during the roughly two weeks she was there. In the two weeks she was at Sheer Recovery, they screwed up her medications, failed to fix it despite several clear sets of instructions and our daughter spiraled down. She was able to order narcotics which were delivered to the Sheer Recovery house! Can you imagine that? What supervision.....Their response was to drop her at a 7/11 at 11pm 200 miles from home where she was assaulted and almost raped. Thankfully she was rescued but the story doesnt end here. After eventually finding a new place in Los Angeles where we were able to finally get her mental issues reevaluated and her medications sorted out, she was able to consider returning home but to a structured living situation. Much to my surprise, she still wanted to return to Good Heart. When she left the first time for orange county, even though she had a bad experience in Santa Barbara, she was told that if things went well, and she straightened things out, she would be welcomed back. While things weren't straightened out at Sheer, she ultimately did get herself straightened out and she's in great shape now. I approached the BeWell people about her return to Good Heart and was first told that she would be welcomed back if she was in good place. I was told that they would need 24 hours to evaluate this and I would get a callback. Of course I didn't hear for three days. When I called back, I was told that it was the responsibility of the clinical team to evaluate this now, but they would do so promptly. Her new doctor tried to call seven times, and no calls were returned. Finally I reached them and was told a decision had been made to reject her without even consulting with the psychiatrist who had treated her for a month. This decision was evidently made during the week when they never got back to us. Is this enough of a story for you? Would you want someone you love cared this way? these folks are all about the money and they're not even professional enough to return phone calls. I intend to notify everyone of the regulatory authorities that they promote on their website to ensure that they know how utterly unprofessional this organization is.
