From my first experience the office staff were helpful, friendly. During treatment the quality of care was exemplary and effective enough to challenge me to want to get better. Through observation in visits they cover many conditions I personally do not have. The staff is professional and in my opinion simply outstanding. The staff listens carefully to formulate an beneficial and progressive care plan. read more

With the assistance of this PT center, I have been able to live a more productive and normal lifestyle at the age of 71 years old. I have experienced various physical injuries or the effects of "arthritis". The caring and knowledgeable staff helped me tremendously through simple exercises. The staff are so encouraging. Thank you Santee PT and Hand Center! read more

Santee Physical Therapy is an exceptional provider. I have been a patient with them for several years to help with the treatment of chronic back pain as a result of multiple spinal issues both before and after surgery. They are the most professional and empathetic office I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They patiently listen to all of my diverse complaints and provide the most comprehensive care from exercise regimes and hands on message to tens and heated (or iced) pads in order to help me find relief from constant and severe pain. The above treatments are not the only ones they provide, only what I currently engage in during my weekly visits, but the point being that each patient is unique, and each is provided what they need to feel better. If asked whether I would recommend them, I would say 100% every time. I have never left there disappointed, or in more pain than when I arrived! read more

I just finished 18 sessions of PT for a torn meniscus in my knee. Matthew Ireland is the main therapist who worked with me and he is very knowledgeable and caring. I totally trusted him. The rest of the staff were also very helpful and always friendly. I no longer walk with pain and I'm very thankful for all of their help. Highly recommend! read more

This group is the absolute best. Nicole was my main therapist, and she took my torn rotator cuff rehab from 0° movement to stronger than it has ever been. Nicole and the team are thoroughly professional and very personable and fantastically educated in the art of Physical Therapy. I give them my highest recommendation for anything you need Physical Therapy for. read more

My son went there and it was helpful. I have started to go there. The people are all very kind and I am comfortable there. Good PT lead and good team. Let's see if my shoulder is helped. read more

I was seen right away and has a most pleasant and helpful session with Ashley. She didn't try to tell me I needed lots of therapy and gave me some exercises to do at home. I was very happy when I left. I'm glad I found them. In the future I am looking at having knee surgery and am definitely going to go there for PT. read more

I highly recommend Nicole as a physical therapist, she has helped me with my knee replacement rehabilitation, Nicole restored my knee mobility and flexibility and my pain disappeared, she expanded my range of knee movements through advanced exercises with a new level of knee strength, the facility is also very nice with very helpful staff. I recommend Santee physical therapy to anyone who needs physical therapy. read more

It was necessary for me to go for PT for my shoulder and when I had the opportunity to go to Santee Physical Therapy I was happy due to its proximity to home. Well, I am so glad I did. Nicole and her team are truly great! Even William, the gentleman who works in the office, made me feel comfortable and at ease. When it came to the actual sessions, I found Nicole to be very knowledgeable, sincere, down-to-earth and easy to talk to with any and all concerns I had along the way. Her team members, and I am embarrassed because I can't remember all their names, worked well together. Should I ever need to go for PT again, I will not hesitate to go to them for help! read more

I can honestly say that Erica, Luis, and all the staff at Santee Physical Therapy are wonderful. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable, they are kind and friendly too! The care and instruction I received from them was incredible. Thank you so much for your wonderful services! read more

Erica is the manager and she does a great job .She has a wonderful staff. My pain i really getting better thanks to SPT. read more

Erica, Luis, Ed, and Jennifer were all wonderful to work with! Throughout my entire visit, I felt listened to and was given thorough explanations during my check-in, consult, my treatment/exercise time, and when scheduling future appointments. I feel like I am in good hands with Santee Physical Therapy and appreciate their kindness and professionalism. read more

Dr. Samantha Vaisman, "Sam", is excellent, as are all the others there. They are all very pleasant and personable, and were very helpful with my problem. In my case, their objective was to train me to do various exercises. After several sessions, I was well trained, and able to go it alone. The exercises definitely helped a great deal. I highly recommend this place. read more

I highly recommended this office. They all care about you getting better and your overall health. Absolutely love them!! Very very caring people. And Erica is the best!! If you need physical therapy. This is the place to go. read more

Nicki & the staff here is amazing. Everybody is very positive and friendly. I was assigned to a different PT and I had to switch over to Santee PT. They're just that great. 10/10 recommended. read more

I have done rehab physical therapy too many times to count over my lifetime and it has always been a painful, unpleasant experience- so I was really dreading what was coming after my rotator cuff repair. From the first time I walked in the door, I could tell this place was different. Not only do they do a fabulous job on the area that needs help, but they also pay attention to the patient's mind, creating a very nurturing environment and experience. Thank you SPT!! read more

This is a great office! The therapists and receptionist are kind, considerate and very caring. We're all there because we're in pain and they are understanding and make you feel at home. The therapists explain to you what to expect and exactly what's going on, unlike doctors. Thank you all for doing a fantastic job! I don't know what I would do without them. read more

Erica T is awesome, Luis and the rest of the PT aides are all great. Erica went above and beyond to help me recover from shoulder surgery. I've been here a few times over the years and I've never had a bad experience. Everybody is always very friendly and helpful. Hopefully I won't need them in the future but if I ever do I wouldn't hesitate to go back to them. Thank you to everybody at Santee Physical Therapy!!! read more

I like this clean, friendly clinic. Everyone is professional and still very friendly. I really trust their diagnosis and recommendations. They have good equipment and their technicians are great! We all have to wear masks still, so I would just suggest that the receptionist wear her mask correctly and pulled up over her nose. read more

I have an issue with my hands. I sometimes have so much pain i cannot drive. I called in today to reschedule my appointment and the person who answered the phone was very rude and said " well if you want us to help you with your hands..." if it is dangerous for me to drive because i cant make a fist to grab the steering wheel, how dare you give me attitude about my disability? I will NOT be using your facility. I will drive 100 miles to another provider who has compassion for patients. Your loss. Teach your employees better empathy and care about your patients. read more

I've been to PT several times, in multiple cities/states, before going to Santee Physical Therapy, but I've never had it solve any problems. SPT is different. Ashley, Dave S (Hawaiian Shirt/Viking's fan), Dave B (BBD), and the guys (Frank, Mike, Ryan, Ian,) saved my back. And my shoulder. And my knee. And my ankle. I went in for my back in August 2011, after being sent to the ER with blackout pain, and these guys (and Ashley,) absolutely saved my life. In my mid-20s I was already thinking I'd have to give up everything fun, and I was pretty sure I was going to struggle with every-day living, for the rest of my life. The docs had pretty much told me so. SPT rehabbed me, and I got so much quality of life back. I got to be a (physically) normal 20-something once again. And of course, I'm injury-prone, and had old injuries; SPT solved those issues,too. They're fantastic! They each delivered their own special care, and a bit extra - fantastic personalities. They solved physical issues, and kept my mental health high, as well. We laughed every day I went in, and even on crappy days, they cheered me up (which is totally not in their job description!) These folks are the best! I miss them dearly, but alas, they fixed ALL of my (joint) problems and sent me on my way, much better than before. I've since moved a few states away, but I still recommend them o EVERYONE in the greater SD area. I'm *so* thankful for all that they did, including their outstanding patience, and their superior knowledge. They also gave great food recommendations, music trivia, and general jovial spirits. Their jokes made my months. (Dave S and his calf-love, still makes me laugh, almost a year later.) I *highly* recommend them to anyone with an injury - before or after surgery, and especially sports-related injuries. They've reduced any need for me to even consider surgical intervention on any of my joints, which I'm so thankful for. They know their stuff and get you back on your feet. If you do the work, and ICE, you will recover. They also help people recovering from major surgeries. I got to meet a good number of knee surgery rehabbers, in particular, in my 2-ish years there, and watch their progress too. We had a jolly-old PT club for awhile, though the "players" occasionally changed; I think the morale helped with the recovery. We got to know each other, and looked forward to seeing one another, and rooted each other on. We cared that the person beside us "graduated". SPT fostered this atmosphere while maintaining patient confidentiality and maintaining HIPPA standards. Ashley and both Daves were always excellent in explaining the problems and the treatments to me. They never patronized me, which was nice, and I was very involved in my own recovery. It was nice knowing the reasoning behind each exercise, treatment, or injury. (I need to also give an honorable mention to Ester, whom I never had the pleasure of working with directly, but after spending nearly 2 years in PT with all of my issues, I got to know the staff...and she's great, and of course, Kris and Sam, at the front desk, who always took wonderful care of me and kept me entertained.) Trust me, SPT is the BEST PT I've ever experienced, by far! read more

Dr Ashley and Dr Alex and the team are absolutely amazing! I have never had to wait more than a minute to be seen. They are all warm and friendly as well as extremely professional and knowledgeable in their care of their patients. My shoulder healing and range of movement now is remarkable! Their is a family feel here! The balance of this with professionalism is a hard balance to achieve but they have mastered that. This team is meant to work together and will no doubt keep Santee Physical Therapy the premier recovery place in east County! I wouldn't change a thing! read more

Santee Physical Therapy - Santee Physical Therapy is the place to be in East County for recovery! - Physical Therapy Near Me - Santee, California

Dr. Erica and her team at Santee Physical Therapy are the BEST! From Ari at the front desk to the therapists working with you, "professionalism" and "attention to detail" are paramount with "results" always being the goal. They taught me that physical therapy does not have to be "painful" and you can still have a successful session even if you are hurting. Overall, they have a winning combination over there and I recommend it. read more

Santee Physical Therapy has been my saving grace in my TMJ recovery process! Anyone who has experienced TMJ knows how dreadfully painful it can be. This team at this office is amazing! They have been patient, friendly, warm, personable, knowledgeable, and efficient! They work cohesively and make each patient's treatment a priority! I give them a 5 star and would recommend this office! read more

Had been coming her for years to see Ashley, it has gone down hill. Front desk receptionist rude and condescending. Running behind no apology acted like it was my fault asking me who scheduled my appointment when I offered to reschedule and come back because difficult to school therapist had to do a splint instead of seeing her next patient no thank you know anything just rude condescending behavior read more

Excellent. Good assessment of condition and communication. Each session is very thorough with various therapies related and adjusted to condition. Very friendly and helpful staff. read more

I am not going to give you any opinions, just the facts. My doctor gave me some choices of P.T. businesses in Santee. I chose Santee Physical Therapy for no special reason, as I knew nothing about any of them. My doctor sent them the P.T. orders. They called me immediately to make an appt., but I wanted to wait a week or so to start because my doctor was thinking of adding something to the order. They asked what ins. I had and I told them. When I was ready to start, I called them to make an appt. They asked what my insurance was and I told them. On my first visit, I got there 15 minutes prior to the appt. time. The office girl, I think her name is Kelly, was flying around trying to get out of there to go home. A client had just finished up her session and was trying to ask Kelly about something and Kelly was really short and rude with her as she gathered her things to go home. No doubt about it, Kelly had to be out that door on the hour or the world was going to end. I was grateful Kelly didn't have time to get me checked in and situated. Come to find out, they didn't know I had two areas of my body that needed work, even though it was on the doctor's orders. My therapist, Ashley seemed knowledgeable, friendly and acted professionally. When she finished her evaluation, I set up 8 more appts., 2 a week for four weeks. I was told I needed to pay $45.00 for each visit, which I agreed to, and I paid my $45 for the first visit. On my second visit, I was happy to get the therapy Ashley gave me because I could tell she was working the right places. Instead of paying $45 for that visit, then paying $45 again the next day for my next visit, I asked if I could pay $90 which would include both visits that week. I was told that would be fine, so I paid the $90 for the two appts. that week. When I arrived the next day for my third appt. at 5:00 P.M., Kelly was there. She told me that now I had to pay $63 each time because they did not contract with my ins. co. so I'd have to pay more until my deductible was met. I just looked at her, processing all this. A phone call would have been nice. 1. They knew what ins. co. I had and they knew it more than a week before I ever came in. They knew it my first visit. They knew it my second visit. But Kelly waited until I drove to their office and walked in for my 5:00 P.M. appt. before telling me there was a change. 2. If they didn't contract with my ins. company, what was this deal about meeting my deductible? Something seemed fishy to me, so I said I would go elsewhere, asked for the $45 that I had paid in advance and asked for the orders my M.D. had sent to them so I could take them to another PT office. Kelly said she would get me those things and that she would call me. After a week of hearing nothing from Kelly I called the office. Kelly was at lunch and would be back at 1. I asked for them to have her call me. She called me...at 4:45 P.M. By that time I was no longer sitting by my phone. This seemed like more and more of a scam to me as each deal and promise got broken by Kelly and Santee Physical Therapy. I called again, fuming. Kelly said she couldn't do anything, that I had to call their bookkeeping office. So I did. Tina told me that I would not get a refund, or the orders from the dr, that I owed them money, even though I had paid them what they told me I owed prior to them changing their mind. Tina also said that they didn't know until they billed the ins. company that they weren't contracted with them. Really? I've never run into a situation where the provider didn't know what ins. companies they worked with. Tina said I would not get my $45 back and that I would not get the doctor's orders back either. I said I would go about it another way and hung up. About 30 minutes later, someone else from bookkeeping called to tell me that, yes, I would get my $45 back, but it would take 30 days. When I asked about the doctor's orders, she told me I would have to drive to Escondido to pick them up, that Santee Physical Therapy would not mail them. When I questioned that practice, she said she would have to check on it. Have not heard back from her. All this time I am doing without the PT my doctor ordered. It will be a pleasant surprise if I get my $45 back. If I had known prior, I would have never gotten involved with Santee Physical Therapy because of their questionable business practices and apparent ignorance of how things work. Too bad Ashley works there, because I think she's a good therapist in a poor business office. If I get my refund, I will bump up the number of stars. But be sure you get everything in writing if you go there and remember not to trust them when they say they take your ins., or that they'll call you. Always double check with your ins. co. since Santee Physical Therapy's business people don't know. And ask your ins. co. what your copayment per visit will be; don't trust Santee Physical Therapy. read more

Based on one review I almost didn't go here, but I'm sure glad I did. Due to a recurring knee injury I was a patient for over six months, and during that time I ran across two Dave's. The one Mark B mentioned in his review thankfully no longer works here, and the Dave that remains (Hawaiian shirt Dave) is the main reason why I kept going back. The support staff is also very friendly and courteous. Also, their newest P.T.'s is a recent USC grad and she's very good. I recommend giving them a try to see for yourself. read more

SPT is Awesome! Ashley, Frank and Dave are able to explain to you WHY you are at PT, WHAT you are going to accomplish, and ARE MOTIVATORS! I recommend these miracles workers! If you have tried everyone else, go here! read more

Only been to PT a couple times in my life but Ashley and Ryan have saved my back within 3 weeks. Super knowledgeable and personable. Awesome crew! read more

First of all mark you need Jesus! And second Santee Physical Therapy is kids friendly and the most comfortable, down to earth place ever! I bin going here for over a year.. And all the employees have helped me through a difficult time in my life... And I give them love and respect... I don't understand how this Mark guy could ever dis-respect and talk nonsense about this clinic and the employees here... They are so dedicated to your well being and recovering of you injuries... My experience was a 100% excellent .... Mark is being so negative it is so not cool... But any how on a positive note... My overall expirence was so good my recovery was a success.....! I had a ankle injury that took a long and hard time overcoming but without the help of every staff member of Santee Phisical therapy I never would have been able to recover and regain my strength to return to my normal physical state before my injury. If they didn't use all there expertise in the art of therapy! Any how thank you to RYAN, Chris, Frank, Dave, New Dave, Betsy, and Ashley I really appreciate everything you guys have done for me! From the bottom of my heart I felt like family! God bless you all and continue to bless, cure your patients injuries.... And Dave never used a cell phone??? He always was ingaged with the patients /conversation always with patients...! Love always, Angela read more

I have been going to Santee Physical Therapy and Hand Center for my Dermatomyosis and Fibromyalgia. The staff is experienced, knowledgeable, polite, friendly, helpful, down to earth, and fun. They really enjoy what they do and always answer all my questions thoroghly. I have worked with Ashley, Frank, Ryan, and Dave. I really look forward to my bi-weekly visits. Not only has it increased my strength, but my hope and my spirits as well. =) read more

I have to physical therapy in many states over many years. I have a reoccurring problem with my hip that I have to address every so often. That being said I really likes Santee Physical Therapy and Ashley seems great! I have only had the one appointment but she assessed my body more than any other PT ever has. I was talking to her about what I do and don't do and she was super informative. I am used to Physical Therapists who just tell you what to do without explaining what the goal is. Ashley talked to me about why certain areas hurt and what we were going to do about it. It felt like a partnership in getting me better rather than just following a prescription. I have several more appointments to come so I will update as I continue go. read more

I recently underwent knee replacement surgery and was told the post-op physical therapy is crucial to a successful outcome. I was given a list of physical therapy locations covered by my insurance plan and chose SPT based on yelp reviews and location ( i really knew very little about out-patient PT prior to this encounter). 12 visits and 5 weeks later, I'm happy to report that Im walking over a mile a day, regaining strength and flexibility in my knee, and even was able to swing a golf club without pain for the first time in a year! The staff was amazingly helpful, friendly, and professional. Sydney (front office/admin) was great working with my provider and insurance carrier. Dr. Ashley worked with me from my initial visit and developed a care plan that was tough, but achievable and encouraged me every step of the way. When she was not available, Nikki and Alex stepped in and it seemed like I never missed a beat. Frank, Andrew, and Sarah (the PT aids) were great at keeping me moving forward, teaching me proper technique for exercise and encouraging me to push myself. Overall, i had a great experience with SPT and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of out patient physical therapy. Thanx guys. read more

I have been going to Santee Physical Therapy twice a week since just after my knee surgery five weeks ago. My wife and I visited multiple Physical Therapy practices in the Santee area prior to selecting this one. The thing that won me over was the "hands on" approach and the fact that they seemed to have alot of patients compared to the others. Part of my reasoning was that people must be going there much more then the other facilities for a reason. My first visit consisted mainly of a diagnostic since I still had a lot of swelling from the surgery. Dr. Ashley was very professional and developed a plan for my rehab. which I have been following since. My progress has been very good, and I must credit the folks here for my rapid recovery. read more
