Enter Colette- I have seen many physical therapists in my life no one has been as knowledgeable and helpful as Colette. I am a physician and I want to say Colette is truly a healer. She knows the body and was able to correct overall functional problems that I had with posture, Walking, etc. She is very caring and practical. She works on you one to one the whole time. I am now back to doing the things I love. My goal was to be pain free to be able to go for walks. I am now back to dancing!

I saw Colette after experiencing some debilitating back spasms. My husband and I had called the top…read morerated physio therapy establishments near our home and picked her based on her clear responses to our questions and her immediate availability. At my first appointment, I was in a lot of pain and did not really see myself out of it. She asked me to give her 10 days and promised that I would feel better. And I did. Her massages were amazing and would help me loosen up right away. More importantly, she pointed out some issues in my posture and exercises to correct them. Initially, they didn't seem related to my area of pain at all but the more I did, the better I felt. She helped me strengthen muscles that I didn't realize even existed. She would give a few exercises to practice per session rather than a huge list that I had received a few years back at another establishment for a different injury. I set my goals to her early on: I wanted the pain gone, become stronger and then to go back to my gym routine. She not only helped me get there one step at a time but also added many new useful gym exercises to my routine. I have since recommended her to other friends and family and they only have amazing things to say about their experience. I would highly recommend her.

Donavin was a supportive and an extremely knowledgeable Physical…read more Therapist. He listened to all the little details and complaints about my complex situation( in my mind) . Pain can make you a crazy person. He developed a care plan that was specific to my needs. I had so many ups and downs. He consistently knew how to respond to my body being to tight , consul me and give the needed strengthening exercises even when I thought I was just done!!. I have been a patient since August to December. He came in consistently and never waivered to any patient . He still sees me at the BAY CUB because of course he comes in hours early and leaves late so he finishes everything. For his professionalism and unwavering dedication I give him 5 stars. The team at Proactive is a well oiled machine in large part due to Jen and her unwavering commitment. She is like the strong Mother who keeps everyone in line. Call backs constantly to let her patients come in ASAP. She is open, honest and straightforward. She is a 5 star in my book. Even though Alexis is in Mission Valley now congratulations. She deserve it sweet kind caring and hard worker dedicated. Lucky Mission Valley to have got her transfer. The other PT helpers (trainers) were very helpful and kind. I always felt they worked as a team. While I'm trying to get stronger Jenn would be on the phone making sure I'm in good form, not letting me lazy!!. The only complaint I had was there is so many patients that needed to be seen and Jenn would call everyone work so hard to fit everyone in with little notes everywhere and multiple screens up constantly there wasn't enough Physical Therapists scheduled to get the patients in. I even had to wait several weeks to get an evaluation. Believe me she had me on wait lists. The area is small but cozy and everyone works together. They do a GREAT JOB of giving everyone space and getting around. They should be commended on the TEAM WORK they have. FIVE Stars to Carmel Valley. I had a great experience minus trying to get scheduled not enough therapists.

One issue was the room was very small, so I would be hitting my body when getting up. The PT or PTA should have moved the table out but I think they moved so this problem is probably resolved. My 2nd issue is one of the Pt or PTA used so much pressure that I had a black and blue bruise and was in a lot pain. My mom, a registered nurse, wanted me to go to urgent care as the bruising was really bad. My 3rd issue is after my prescription ran out from the doctor they told me I so come back for 12 PT more visits. They did not ask me to run that by my doctor at all. I ran it by 2 different orthopedic surgeons who said no wait until after surgery for more PT. The company then called me to schedule even though my doctors said to wait. From my experience, I do not think high of the PT at Proactive at all.

She proceeded to put me through a few, very simple movements and voila! within 30 minutes my pain was GONE! I have since followed up with a few more sessions just to get some preventative exercises to work on going forward. I highly recommend Jenn as she has a great feel for the body and is very in tune with the origin of the issue at hand.

Carmel was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly informative. He took the time to explain what he believed was causing my discomfort, gave me a clear plan for how to address it, and then got right to work. One of my biggest issues was a knot in my back that had been bothering me for the last six months. I had tried everything -- massage therapy, massage guns, saunas, jacuzzis -- and nothing made a real difference. After about 15 minutes of soft tissue work and a few exercises to follow up with, Carmel asked me how I felt. I was genuinely stunned: the knot was gone. I assumed it might just be temporary relief, since I'd had that before, but it usually only lasted 30 to 60 minutes. This time, I woke up the next morning with no pain and no knot whatsoever. I'm honestly shocked and kicking myself for not seeing him sooner. Highly recommend. Don't waste your time going anywhere else.

I have tried for over a year to have their corporate offices issue me a refund. To date all I have gotten is the run around. The corporate offices have acknowledge that they owe me the money but have come up with so many different excuses to why they have not refunded this money. This is $120 and much is less than one visit that I pay each time I have worked with a therapist. It is crazy to me that they would not pay this money back and I have stopped using them as a therapist in the future. Select Medical Corporation (the parent) has received 1 out of 8 favorable reviews at BBB, where it is unaccredited. I am telling everyone I know not to use Select Physical Therapy in Del Mar. Their parent company operates unethically.

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?

My recent back flare-up in February left me unable to do anything active at all without severe pain. over the course of 4 months, I visited my chiropractor 20 times, saw a physical therapist 5 times, then tripped across Egoscue.

She is very knowledgeable, a great listener, fun to talk to and always mixes up my sessions. No PT session is ever the same and she challenges me at every session to do more than I think I am capable of doing. Ciara customizes every session based on how I am doing and always gives recommendations on ways to improve and get better. Because of her sessions, my knees have improved, and I am able to go on much longer walks and I am able to do my day-to-day activities with greater ease. My hip issues have improved dramatically. RISE in Solana Beach is a small PT office but they do a great job in their space to provide an hour of great, personalized PT care. I am fortunate to have found this great office and Ciara close by.

When I couldn't schedule with Ciara I worked with several other team members who were great too, including Erik, Peter and Autumn. Love Riley at the front desk who is very efficient and friendly. In a way I was a little sad at my last appointment to leave this great group of young folks. I highly recommend Rise Physical Therapy in Solana Beach.
