I have nothing but good things to say about Ocean Physical Therapy. I was seen by Brock following a hip replacement. He is thorough, professional, and fun. Absolutely every staff member from the front office to all the therapist were over the top friendly and kind. I highly recommend Ocean PT. read more

I have been to a few PTs in my lifetime but Ocean surpasses them all! Not only are they an efficiently run business, everyone is polite and friendly too. And most importantly, I got amazing results in a short period of time. They're "hands-on" approach to treatment and follow up care are outstanding. I highly recommend Ocean PT! read more

Excellent Physical Therapist, I've been treated by Ocean for multiple issues and by other physical therapist too. The level of care, knowledge and attention from Ocean is just vastly superior to the other therapists that have treated me. I'm so thankful to the staff at Ocean, you're the best!! read more

I was referred by Ashley, PA at Newport Orthopaedic Institute after shoulder surgery July 1st, 2024. I've been beyond satisfied with the quality of care provided by this Team and it's Owner/Therapist, Lisa. I'm particularly impressed with Charlotte and especially Austin whose healing hands definitely helped to expedite the healing process through effective massage therapy. I'm so grateful for Ocean Physical Therapy! Physical Therapy following surgery is vitally important to the outcome of any procedure. I personally recommend Ocean Physical Therapy of San Clemente to all my family, friends and neighbors without reservation. Rick Davis read more

the Ocean team has been putting me back together for the last 5yrs. All of the therapists are amazing, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They also hire great PT aids that help you get your workout done quickly and safely. The front desk team is always kind and understanding even when they're busy. Dr. Shar has treated me after multiple surgeries and injuries over the last 5 years. I owe her my mobility and I'm so grateful for her care. read more

I have been to two other PT offices for pelvic floor issues. I figured they were okay, but Lissa was the only one who even did an initial evaluation of me! Duh! How else to know if I've improved? You can tell Lissa cares and that's half the battle for us patients. I know it's crazy for healthcare professionals with so many patients, but Lissa takes the time and listens. She has also come up with some out-of-the-box suggestions that are helping. Since I have several doctors trying to help me with the same issue, Lissa makes a point to read their reports. I also like their exercise app for two reasons: it provides reminders to do my exercises, and it has videos to remind you how to do the exercises. I would also like to give a shout-out to Denise--she is very kind and knowledgeable. read more

If you are looking to have the VERY BEST PT experience, use the staff at this facility. Most helpful PT experience imaginable. Char and Austin give excellent therapies. Have learned how to assist in my own healing and improve my gait. Every session takes me forward in health. It has been a true find! read more

A patient in pain should never be treated the way I was treated at Ocean physical therapy. Evelyn and the front desk personnel provided clear examples of how NOT to treat patients. EVER. They don't appear to understand that the physical therapy profession has a fiduciary duty and ethical responsibility towards patients to always put the patient's welfare above theirs. In looking at other reviews in Yelp, it appears I had the same experience at Ocean as Stella L., another patient. I was told by Tracy at the front desk to call Evelyn and discuss my situation (a small misunderstanding with the insurance regarding coverage). To be very clear, I told Tracy at least ten times that if the insurance didn't cover for a specific evaluation I would gladly pay out of pocket, WHICH I DID, however, since the insurance assured me that the service was covered, I called Evelyn to give her the reference number from the insurance, as advised by Tracy. However although I DID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TOLD by Tracy at Ocean front desk to do, ie call Evelyn, --- Evelyn started screaming at me when I called her, telling me that she didn't need anything from me (no forms, no reference number, no medical code). She also told me in a raised voice that "Tracy was wrong to tell" me this and that "what Tracy told" me "was incorrect". She basically told me several times in a very disrespectful manner to stop talking because she was "not interested" to hear anything I had to say. My husband was there with me overhearing the conversation, and he was looking at me in disbelief since he could hear Evelyn scream at me for no reason. Evelyn not only refused for 5 times in a row to listen to anything I had to say, and to get any information that Tracy told me to give her, but was also disrespectful and curt. Extremely unprofessional. It is extremely unfair to set a patient up like this, and to get them caught in the middle of a disagreement between two Ocean staff members. These guys really need to get their act together because this lack of communication between their staff members could be very damaging and upsetting to a patient in pain who goes to their facility hoping to get treatment and compassion, and instead gets unjustified scolding and screaming. And to add insult to injury, when I tried to share what happened with the business owner, she took me to a dark room in the back where she scolded me for 10 minutes and although she was completely misinformed about my situation, stated that I was the one speaking badly to their administration staff, and when I requested proof, none was offered. When the business owner took me to the room in the back first she scolded me for having called Evelyn, although it was Tracy on her staff who told me to call Evelyn and gave me her phone number (!!!!) Extremely unfair and unjustified treatment, especially since I was in excruciating pain due to my rotator cuff injury, and I had just completed a visit with my orthopedic surgeon who confirmed I had a tear. The personnel in PT offices should be people who chose to work in physical therapy for the noble goal to help patients in pain and try to stop pain and suffering, and not just for making a good profit - which seems to be the case here. Playing these kind of power games on patients in pain is certainly not a display of compassion. I am a medical professional myself and have not seen these behaviors before. I am so sorry I picked this place, although they have good physical therapists who try to do good work for patients, dealing with the administrative staff and business owner can be extremely challenging, especially for a patient who is crying in pain and gets ZERO compassion when needing it most. Think twice before selecting this place for your physical therapy. read more

I had the most positive experience at Ocean Physical Therapy. Everyone there is caring, knowledgeable, and committed to helping you heal and attain your goals to be pain free, and active again. I feel such gratitude to them all. read more

Everybody there was amazing. Austin was instrumental. Denise as well. Also the other two persons assisted for my routines before the therapist was available. I felt very welcome when they greeted my name read more

My brother, who has a dementia with Parkinson's symptoms, has been treating with Austin (DPT) and Renee (trainer) for approximately 9 months: initially for strengthening and balance after recovering from a fall. Subsequently he has been doing personal training twice a week with Renee (she consults with Austin to ensure the best fit of exercise for him). We have been so pleased by the treatment and his progress. At his visit with his neurologist last week, she noted improvement in his stride and step length. She was so impressed with the strengthening protocol that she gave me her card and asked to have them call her. She told Michael that in order to maintain his functionality he needs to continue this exercise, otherwise he'll begin to decline. We are so grateful and appreciative for the extended independence he experiences because of their thoughtful care! read more

Wonderful place got great care and attention from all staff especially Sean. Had balance and hip problems (I'm 71) and mostly resolved in 2 months. read more

My care givers Char and Jennifer were excellent, friendly and professional. Would recommend Ocean PT to all. You will not be disappointed.

Love this Physical Therapy facility and all the therapists are excellent! Personal attention and support to get patients back to normal activities! Thank you! read more

Excellent customer service and excellent work. I called them for a same day appointment as my husband was in a bad shape and they scheduled him late that afternoon. My husband was hardly able to sit up or sleep. He saw Dr Austin and in one session he felt 70% better. He's improving day by day and he will see him again today. Highly recommend them. read more

Austin did the original review if my minor injury. He was very thorough. DC was amazing! He has a sincere concern about his patients. DC is the main reason my Yelp review gets 5 stars! read more

Recommend here because my son came here. It was great, until you have a complaint. One young tech doesn't know how to speak and encourage people. I don't like that at all. Got up and went to speak to the owner. She understood but also explained because it was 2018 yr end they were swamped. The physical therapist then told me, I should have spoken to him first because it's his responsibility. Well, I speak to who the ultimate decision maker is. They can sort out how the chain of command works. To be told in so much I went above him, well it's my health. I stopped going in Dec because they were so swamped. And after my complaint I didn't feel so welcomed Did they help me? Yes. Have I ever heard back from them because I just stopped going? No. No patient follow up. They say they're the best. Maybe they are but, now I have another shoulder issue and will go to another place recommended by my San Clemente podiatrist. Heck, I'll even drive farther for a better facility. So yes I got better, but the last visits were not welcoming. And I have pretty good insurance. A PPO. Stella Lofgrenp read more

I've been to many physical therapy places in the local area. Ocean is by far the best place that I've found. The PT's are amazing and full of knowledge. Super thankful I chose them for my rehab. read more

Talk about quality service. Ocean Physical Therapy is unlike any other facility I've experienced before in that they treat you like a person and not merely a number. I really hate when that happens and fortunately I didn't feel that way at all here. The staff is not only very knowledgeable but exceedingly personable. It's no secret that therapy can be painful at times, but they are sensitive to your needs and go the extra mile in making you as comfortable as possible. They treat a few professional athletes, so you may even find yourself performing therapeutic exercises alongside a star athlete. I even got a little treat when I completed therapy! read more

I am currently receiving treatment for an injury that caused compartment syndrome. I am very nervous and anxious about my injury and their staff has been so helpful and understanding. I have a unique injury and everyone has been so informative in letting me know what I am dealing with. - Austin did my intake and he was amazing! So informative! - DC (Dwip Chokshi) has been my therapist during every appointment and he is amazing. DC is an incredible and patient with me which I greatly appreciate. therapist He has gone out of his way to help me with pain and anxiety associate with my injury. He talks me through every exercise and relaxes during my sessions. He challenges me when I need to be challenged and pushes me each session to do more. DC even helps me prepare for my appointments with my doctor so I feel confident and informed. I cannot tell you enough how amazing DC is and I highly recommend that anyone in need of physical therapy see DC and Ocean Physical Therapy. - The owner has gone out of her way to meet with me and help assure me they are going to help me heal! She is so welcoming, informative and has also talked me through my injury. She is FANTASTIC. Every girl at the front desk is so welcoming and helpful too! As a new client I am still learning how things work and they are so helpful. I wish I knew her name, but the girl who helps wrap my hand in ice and use electro muscle stimulation is so amazing too. Honestly every single associate I have met has been so helpful. She is especially caring and assuring. I cannot recommend Ocean enough. I am confident they will help me use my hand again and make a full recovery! Thank you Ocean Physical Therapy you are all AMAZING!! read more

I have been coming here for a month for spinal stenosis therapy. I have been extremely happy with Austin and all of the therapist who work here. They are very competent and seem to really care about the results you obtain by the therapy they prescribe. I have been to other places for therapy and this is by far the best. read more

This is a fantastic physical therapy facility very clean organized and thorough with their own internal gym and when I went there a doctor and physical therapy evaluated me very thorough and came up with a fantastic plan as she handed me off to a trainer who worked with me on the various plans recommended. This is a new office new building and beautiful facility and they excepted my insurance which was a nice plus they went through all the concerns that I had and during scheduling were very friendly and setting up the day is most convenient for me I highly recommend this facility very clean polite and professional. read more

I discovered Ocean via a Yelp search. Called on a Friday and got in on Monday for my daughters ongoing injury. I was thoroughly impressed with the intense attention to detail in trying to assess how to treat her. And this was the owner, Lissa no less. She really knows her stuff. And I am excited to see the results my daughter has with her intensive PT, so she can get back on the wrestling mats. read more

I've been to several PT's over the years, and I'm so grateful I was referred to Ocean. The entire staff is so well trained - absolutely on their game at all levels, paying close attention to the details that are so important and make such a difference. The team communicates to one another other extremely well, too, and they never seem to miss anything. The facility is bright, open and clean, with excellent equipment. I can't say enough positive things about my experience at Ocean Physical Therapy, and highly recommend to all who are looking for the very best in the game - look no further! read more

My recent experience with Lissa, Robbie, Liz, and the entire Ocean PT staff was absolutely outstanding. They helped me recover from ACL reconstructive surgery after a ski accident. I couldn't have gotten better care from Lissa and her specialists to help me get out of crutches and back on my feet in record time. I highly recommend anyone needing therapy go straight to Ocean PT...they are the best!!! read more

Nice place to look at. There are several choices in San Clemente for physical therapy but I would not support or recommend a business if the owner is rude to the staff and/or patients. read more

I've only been coming to Ocean Physical Therapy for a short time but I've already made leaps and bounds with my recovery. This place is so much better than the other physical therapy places I've gone to! There's no assembly line type of treatment, like you will experience elsewhere. If you're looking for individualized care from people who care that you actually get better, as well as extremely effective treatment, look no further. Their gym is spotless and the equipment is all state of the art. I had surgery on both of my feet. The last PT place I went to would have left me in irreversible shape, had I continued. There's a small window of opportunity you have when it comes to regaining your toe flexibility and it's not something to take lightly. When time is running out, you better hope your physical therapy place is good, unless you want to suffer from permanent effects after an injury or surgery. I consider myself to be fortunate that I found Ocean Physical Therapy. Had I not come here, I would have definitely had scar adhesion and I certainly wouldn't have healed as well. I was not getting better at my last place and they weren't doing all that needed to be done, which was frustrating. At Ocean PT, I feel like I'm finally making progress with people who know what they are doing. I highly recommend Ben. I walked in one day with a limp and left without one. It's insane how quickly his magic hands were able to help me. Lissa is amazing and quite frankly, the entire staff has been great. Also worth noting, I see a lot of kids doing physical therapy here. I think it really says something that people entrust their children's care with them. read more

This place is 100% amazing and I would recommend anyone with an injury to come on over. I have travled and been to four different therapy practices. I never thought I would find a better place than my old therapists in park city. But ocean physical therapy was the best for my acl tear. DC is amazing at what he does and he truly pushes you. I told him my goals and he has done everything for me to get back to my normal life. The therapists here really listen and encourage you to try your absolute hardest. DC taught me to be honest about my body and encourages me to improve each week. Every appointment I am greeted by the amazing team. If anything this place masters physical therapy and emotional therapy. I felt like I was apart of the team! I am so happy that my knee is almost 100%. But I'm truly sad that I won't see the lovely team each week!! Thank you guys for everything!!! DC THANK YOU!! read more

Excellent physical therapy office! I saw Dr. Lang and Char for a shoulder issue both were extremely knowledgeable and helpful! Highly recommend! read more

Toward the end of my recovery after having two cervical vertebrae removed and replaced, my surgeon prescribed physical therapy. Fortunately for me, Ocean PT is just blocks from my house. And they are the finest PT service I've yet to encounter over the past few decades. Jess is an absolute professional. She attends to each client with attentiveness that addresses individual needs. Aside from a great sense of humor and personality, she has her doctorate and thoroughly understands her patients' unique needs and designs an individualized PT program. And after dealing with pain from a nerve running from my neck down my right shoulder and into my arm with meds that not only didn't produce relief but depressed the hell out of me, I now feel virtually pain-free after just a couple of weeks working with Jess and the Ocean PT team. They are excellent! read more

Erica and Marry Ann are extremely knowledgeable. They work with you step by step throughout the therapy process and teach you patience so you can heal properly. The entire staff is so kind, upbeat, and friendly. I'm extremely happy with my results. read more

Lissa and DC Created a plan that helped my knee. It was extremely helpful and I was seeing improvement and had to hold my treatment, since Orange County numbers went up just during Christmas. Staff was very understanding and cooperative. I appreciate their patience with me. Can't wait to get back. read more

I can't recall who referred me Ocean PT but I'm extremely pleased I "stumbled" into their office!! As ex college basketball player in the early 80's and relatively tall (6'9") my body's been through several surgeries from 4 knee scopes, neck, toe and my most recent, full knee replacement in December. Having that history, I've seen my share of physical therapists with the same feeling each time I went, "can't wait for my session to be over with"....not with Ocean PT's team!! For me, part of the healing is getting your mind right so it helps tremendously when you walk into their office; the mood is already up....way yupp!! Their entire staff is pleasant, upbeat and they really take a genuine interest in wanting you to progress. On a couple occasions, I've walked in there not the right mindset to start therapy only to be lifted up the moment I hit the reception desk...the rest is downhill and I walk out in a hell of a lot better frame of mind. I'd like to thank my therapists, Lissa, Char, Erica, Clara, Mike and their rest of their team for their continued support in getting me better. PS...I was able to hire Clara and a "stretch coach" so I highly recommend anyone looking to increase their flexibility, give them/her a call. She's wonderful. read more

I went to Ocean Physical Therapy for a wrist injury as well as a shoulder injury. Everyone there was great! The receptionists are very welcoming and the therapists are all very knowledgeable and effective. Their facility and equipment are all in great shape and plentiful. Everyone works well together there, and the staff is always happy. I would highly recommend Ocean Physical Therapy. read more

First time having to do physical therapy on my shoulder and Doc Devin fixed me up. Each time I went he checked me out asked questions and had me do PT and PT homework. Each week got better and better. The staff there also was very helpful with Erika and the assistants Taylor, Clara, Anthony, and Melissa. I have been telling people if they need PT and are near SC go to Ocean! read more

Facility is nice and clean with an airy feel due to the full line of floor to ceiling windoes. Equipment is well kept but ultimately the five star rating has nothing to do with the facility.... It's the people. I have worked with at least four different therapists there (Erica and Marriane are my main ones now) over the course of dealing with two different cases (broken ankle and hip issues). They all share the same trait... They care. This goes for the PT assistants as well (Monica, Clara, Mike, Holly, Melissa have all worked with me). There is a general feeling from the entire staff that they want you to succeed in your goals of getting better . They share information back and forth between therapists to get the best collective knowledge available and are constantly monitoring when you do your exercises and stretches. They genuinely listen to your feedback and make suggestions based on the info they get from you . I've been other places where they just print off a six week program that is a standard template and you are told to come in and do the exercises on your own . This is the complete opposite. Be prepared to spend some time. Do your exercises at home as well and they will get you better. Highly recommend . read more

The team at Ocean PT is really top notch. This is a truly professional and caring organization starting from Jennifer at reception and Evelyn in the office along with all of the floor assistants - they make sure I am doing my exercise therapy right! Very hands on which is extremely important in getting excellent PT care. Devin, as PT Director and Char the PT Assistant have been terrific in managing my care. Char is truly an amazing professional who is invested in my overall wellness. This entire team is very accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend this terrific team to manage your physical therapy care. read more

Dr. Devin and Erika formulated a winning plan to ease my long term knee pain. The trainers- Anthony, Taylor, Jose, Holly, et al, were great (and patient) helping me with the movements. Anthony was like a "workout buddy" and extremely helpful. Great people. Great results. I definitely recommend. read more

Owner of Ocean Physical Therapy not interested in helping atheletes. Upon my son who is a San Clemente wrestler received therapy for a shoulder injury at OP Therapy, we paid for a personnel therapist to work with him (we paid cash not reduced insurance rates). We were told before the first appointment he could come outside of his scheduled appointments to workout and work on his shoulder exercises. During his appointment they instructed him on use of the gym equipment, he was excited. Then when he tried to come work-out the owner change the story and wanted to charge us an hourly rate for use of the gym. The staff was surprised at the owners change in policy. Business is slowing, some staff are leaving so the owner needs to make up the money's some way. She should have told us before we paid for the instruction on the equipment that she was changing her policy. It is unfortunate as the instructors were nice and professional but the owner (who would never come to meet us, always busy with paperwork), would not return our phone calls or emails and is not interested in helping athletes. read more

Have been going to Ocean Physical Therapy for over 2 weeks. I could go every day, the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. The music is great and not too loud. Dr. Laura and her team work very well together, you can see and hear how much they like to help others and educate people of what not to do. Thank you Ocean Physical Therapy! read more
