I called and scheduled an appointment last Thursday. I just get a phone call now asking if I would like to schedule to come in. The person who I spoke to on the 1st phone call "forgot" to schedule my appointment. I have the email confirming registration as well, which I only would of gotten if I had an appointment. Unorganized front office staff deterred me for establishing care at this facility.

A cozy and compact place where you get your physical health rehabilitated. This place is usually crowded and appointments are somewhat hard to get especially if you specify certain therapist. The stuff members are really helpful, friendly and mainly address the physical health of the clients. Each appointment session is about an hour. First 30 min include various treatments (massage, stretching) by a therapist targeting the needs of the client. The second 30 min is mainly for assigned exercises in a well equipped albeit a bit crowded exercise room under the supervision of a therapist aid following the direction of the therapist. At the end of the session a handout with instruction is provided to the client as to the specific exercises that the client should perform at home in between visits. All progress is recorded in a computer file for later references. I appreciate the approach they are taking and has been a client several times now.

That surgeon did not do knee replacements, but was able to tell me I needed a total knee replacement. When I started to look around for a new orthopedic surgeon, I ruled some out as they were difficult to contact and I was not impressed by their appointment system. I ended up seeing Dr. Lin because not only are his credentials impeccable, but his staff is extremely responsive - they answer calls within 1-3 rings, they are extremely easy to deal with, setting appointments and answering questions quickly and responsively, they helped set me up with paperwork to take to AAA for a disabled placard, and they are just overall a really friendly bunch. I had a Mako assisted robotic total knee replacement on Friday last week and the doctor called me the next day (I wasn't expecting a call on the weekend and it was wonderful and reassuring to hear from him the dat after this major surgery). He has done an excellent job making me feel taken care of, from my initial visit when I was anxious and crying about having surgery; to some things I wanted to try before I was ready to leap into surgery (hyaluronic acid shots, and PRP shots); and, when it seemed surgery was the only answer to my issues, sending me to prehab PT to get my body as ready for surgery as possible. The whole process has made me feel I am in excellent hands. Thank you, Dr. Lin and staff!

Unless you want to deal with the…read moremost incompetent group of individuals, I wouldn't recommend this cesspool of an office to anyone. I drove half an hour to my appointment just to be told I couldn't be seen because they don't accept my SECONDARY insurance. They take my primary insurance (which, mind you, I've never had an issue with--it's Blue Cross Blue Shield), but since my secondary is Medi-Cal, they refused to see me--even when I suggested removing that insurance and paying whatever fees were needed out of pocket. My issue isn't even that they don't take my insurance; it's that they didn't ask for it prior to my appointment, so I would have known not to waste an hour of my life on this sad excuse for a doctor's office . By the way, this is the first bad review I've ever left in my life, but I had to warn anyone who sees this for my own sanity...

After 51 days & 30 phone calls, I finally was able to schedule the procedure. United Health Care was great. They even called the Drs. office because they weren't getting a referral. If it wasn't for Stacy at Hoag authorization dept. I'm sure I would have given up. She made calls & finally got results. On 8/27/25 I finished the 3 appointments. For the first 2 appointments I waited 45 minutes, for the 3rd appointment I waited 65 minutes to get in to see the Dr. I had this procedure done in 2017 & everything went well. What is the problem with Newport Orthopedic Institute now?

I have never been to a chiropractor before but my entire family goes to Dr. Erickson so I decided…read moreto try it out as I have a year long uncomfortable but not super painful shoulder pinch. I finally get the hype! Dr. Erikson is SUPER knowledgeable and I literally felt and saw immediate results which was shocking. We all know shoulder injuries are complex because of all the muscles in the shoulders but he almost knew immediately what the issue was and made me laugh through the most painful parts (which was really minimal if I'm being honest). He also did an overall check and found that my back is also not in mint condition as I can see by one of my legs being shorter than the other. The way that he explained and showed what was going on and what he's trying to do made me feel so comfortable for my first adjustment. And about that massage... well the massage was DEEP - this is not your relaxing spa day but it is healing! Another thing I value about this office, aside from it being SUPER clean, is that they do not push you to spend your money. Yes, you have to pay for your treatment but there is no pressure to come more than you want to even if the Doctor recommends more. This makes me trust them even more so I'm happy to call Dr. Erikson my doctor that is going to see me through recovery! I can't wait to give an update once I'm further along in care. Thank you to Dr. Erikson and the entire team for the amazing experience!

Among the injuries I sustained, the most significant were skull base fractures and fractures of my orbit, which led the emergency doctors to diagnose me with traumatic optic neuropathy. After consultations with maxillofacial specialists and ophthalmologists, I was told I was legally blind, 20/230, and that this was now my life. Devastated, I reached out to Dr. Lin who was highly referred by a longtime family friend. She felt he and his team should see me and offer other opinions. While Western medicine may refer to Dr. Lin as a "physical therapist," I don't think that language fully defines what he does. At our first meeting, he was gentle, attentive, and deeply aware of my condition. His method is difficult for me to fully articulate, but it was unlike anything the physicians I had seen before had provided. Dr. Lin created a treatment plan in collaboration with his in-house acupuncturist, Dr. Park, and the two of them treated me in concert. I visited them about once a month. Dr. Park performed acupuncture targeting specific hemispheres they agreed would be beneficial, while Dr. Lin used manual techniques, pressing, pulling, and adjusting different parts of my face and body. One moment stands out clearly in my memory. As Dr. Park had acupuncture needles placed in the points she selected, Dr. Lin pressed a section of my face under my eye with significant pressure. The instant he released, my nasal passage cleared dramatically. I had been so focused on my vision that I ignored other parts of my body that also needed attention. This is what impressed me most: their understanding of the interconnectedness of the human body, and the way each system affects the next. Even though I came in focused on a single issue, they recognized that other problems could be developing or stagnating and that treating one area would likely set off a domino effect. They addressed everything collectively rather than isolating one symptom. Dr. Park also gave me homework: changes to my diet, foods to avoid, preferred cooking methods, and even the temperature of liquids I should consume. Detailed instructions that had never been offered nor had I considered. Western medicine had only offered me chemical treatments or surgeries to remove or implant. Dr. Lin was one of the few who was relieved I had not had a surgery and was not taking medication. In my most desperate moment, when the reality of vision loss was fresh and overwhelming, they helped keep hope alive. I am happy to say that I have since improved to 20/40 vision. Slowly, every day I feel a little better. I am not claiming that Dr. Park and Dr. Lin performed miracles. What I do believe is that the treatment they provided stimulated something meaningful in my recovery. Maybe I would have healed to this extent without them, maybe not. But I wholeheartedly feel that their treatment encouraged my body to heal itself. I am four months removed from the incident, I have my vision back and I feel great. Recovery is not complete, but I am in a place now that my Ophthalmologist told me never to expect. Thank you to both Dr. Lin and Dr. Park. I could not be more grateful.

Andrew brings positivity to every session and knows exactly how to push just enough while still making sure I'm safe and comfortable. What really stands out is how personalized the care feels. They take the time to listen, adjust, and make sure I'm improving each visit. The whole environment is positive and encouraging, which makes a huge difference when working through recovery. If you are looking for a physical therapist business that truly cares and know what they're doing, I highly recommend In Motion OC. Everyone is great there and in my experience with Madi M. and Andrew, I've been in great hands!

I am an active runner and I was starting to train for the Athens Marathon in Greece and was dealing with a severe hammy/glue issue. It was hard to get through 1-3 miles before my sessions started. I tried everything to strengthen and fix it on my own but nothing would work. I came to Kero feeling hopeless and defeated and knew I really wanted to compete in the marathon this year. Within a month I was hitting my 10 mile runs with much less strain. By month 2 I was gaining strength and endurance with less pain and over all progress. Month 3 and 4 were absolutely amazing with the progress we made. I was training and enjoying my runs, if anything would act up Kero would always get me back in check and on the run again. His ability to find the root of the problem, execute a plan, and fix is godly. He is gifed absolutely but I had to put in the work also with my PT to make the full circle. The end story was one for the books, I completed my marathon in 4:45 and this is not an easy course! I 100% recommend Kero for healing and an overall welcoming comfortable experience!
