I finally was moved to MJ Physical Therapy, and THANK GOD! I was getting worried that I would never heal to the point of almost feeling completely normal again. The MJ physical therapy changed everything. They put a lot of one-on-one time with me identifying all the problems and finger banging my shoulder in ways I didn't know you could that helped tremendously. And then when they worked with me on exercises, and mixed up the exercises, I began showing significant Improvement in my shoulder area. I see the skill and time that Ben and Eric put in with each individual person. They deserve all the praise in the world. I can not recommend them enough.

Now that I am getting older- 'bouncing back' and staying strong and healthy requires me to become better educated about my body.  This is where I was very fortunate to meet Dan Lang.  Dan took the time to thoroughly analyze my unique physical structure and determine the roots of a recent ankle and knee injury.  He helped me better understand the remarkable system and "interconnectedness" of the human body and its parts. He did this and perhaps more importantly, he helped me work through a rehab and healing process that allowed me to safely participate in a half-marathon with my youngest daughter.  This is now a wonderful memory for my daughter and an event I never would have attempted without his guidance.

Dr. Edmund Evangelista is truly an exceptional physician, and I cannot recommend him highly enough…read more He treated me for about eight years at Community Orthopedics in Mission Viejo immediately after my injury, and during that time he consistently provided thoughtful, compassionate, and expert care. When he moved to San Diego, I had to transition to another doctor, and unfortunately my back progressively worsened over time. Eventually, I felt completely out of options and decided to book an appointment to see Dr. Evangelista again--driving down to San Diego specifically to see him at San Diego Orthobiologics Medical Group. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. He immediately identified a significant change on my recent MRI compared to my previous imaging--something that could clearly explain my rapidly increasing pain. His attention to detail and clinical insight were impressive, but what truly sets him apart is his integrity and honesty. Instead of recommending a procedure at his own practice, he referred me to his former colleague who specializes in the treatment that would be most beneficial for me right now, even though he could not perform it himself. That level of selflessness and patient-first care is incredibly rare in medicine. The facility itself is excellent--very clean, modern, and welcoming. The staff is extremely friendly and professional, and you feel comfortable and cared for from the moment you walk in. I also truly believe in what they are doing there; they are clearly focused on the most up-to-date procedures and technology, and it shows in how knowledgeable and forward-thinking the team is. I will absolutely be back there in the future, but I am genuinely grateful that Dr. Evangelista sent me to the right place for my immediate needs at the time. That speaks volumes about his character and commitment to doing what is best for his patients. Dr. Evangelista truly takes the time to think through each patient's situation, explain options, and guide you through difficult decisions with empathy and clarity. I trust him 100%, and I am so grateful to have him as part of my care team again. If you are dealing with spine or orthopedic issues and want a doctor who is brilliant, ethical, and truly cares about his patients, Dr. Evangelista is the one to see.

Not only is…read morehe incredibly skilled, but his bedside manner is hands down the best I have ever had the privilege of experiencing. I have been seeing him for a little over two years now, and his care has truly helped me through a tough time. Being young with MS and all the unpredictable muscle pain it has caused me has been difficult. Dr. Brizzie has given me immense pain relief and has significantly improved my quality of life I never thought would be possible. I can do so much more now. I was struggling with this from 2021 until 2023 until I found him that year. The pain after the second Moderna vaccine was unbearable for me. He was the only one to take my pain seriously, and I will never forget that. He actually listens, really listens, and shows care for his patients. Highly intelligent yet humble. That is pretty rare. He is proactive, kind, patient, and always makes you feel heard. I am ever grateful to him for helping me get my upper body pain and muscle pain significantly reduced. The trigger point injections have relieved my pain like nothing else has and given me the freedom to enjoy life without constantly worrying about it. When you struggle, it has been such a relief to have a provider show compassion. He is the best, truly amazing, and I am very thankful. Fusion Physical Medicine's whole atmosphere gives off zen vibes and tranquility. His practice is so peaceful and warm. It's very clean and comfortable. Everyone is extremely kind here from the staff to the nurses. I cannot say enough good things! Unlike how a stressful hospital environment can be, the vibe here is calm and comforting. Plus you do not have to wait forever. This place is such a gem in California.
