“After having a baby and the daily stress that life will throw at you daily, I started experiencing back pain that I’ve never in my life felt. I couldn’t sleep throughout the night, had trouble getting out of bed and struggled to hold my baby for long periods of time. My mom referred me to Diane at Vital Changes Acupuncture and when I tell you that after just ONE session, I felt INSTANT RELIEF!!! I thought I was healed! (I know I need much more time and care but this is the honest truth about how my body, mind and spirit felt!). Diane educated me and was super patient with me. She used amazing techniques that other acupuncture practices has not used. The needles in my ears, seeds in my ears, and the electric cupping machine (I want one for Christmas!!!) all of this healed me like never before. I had such a light natural high when I left that nothing could ruin my mood or day! I scheduled two additional appointments sense and I think I’m addicted to how great Diane and her talents make me feel. I’m excited to see how much my body and life change and I would recommend Diane to every single person who is struggling with any form of pain! This was the best self love gift I could give myself and I’m so happy I did it!“

“Posting as Anjela GauthierI’m visiting San Diego on an extended trip and injured my knee and was referred here to Coast Physical Therapy in La Jolla.Firstly Carmen and Massoud at front desk are very good people and always ready to do whatever I need- be it print outs or rescheduling appointments and always get back to a person very quickly.I love the jazz music in the background both lulling and motivating.Andy (the owner)seems really good at what he does and Ryan has become my usual (physical therapist-)I feel I’ve gone from having great difficulty in doing ordinary things like entering or exiting a low vehicle etc to being now completely pain free since starting physical therapy and working the exercises-Thanks!“

“I am beyond impressed with this chiropractic office and the expertise of the doctors! From the moment I walked in, I felt incredibly welcomed by the warm atmosphere. Initially suffering from severe shoulder and back pain, I am grateful to Dr. Brian for his exceptional care - 4 months in and I feel like a totally new person. Highly recommend this place!!!“

“I had terrible neck and shoulder pain, I've been weight training for multiple years and Brazilian jiujitsu for a few years and I'm always in some sort of pain. To top it off I'm a personal trainer and still couldn't figure it out. I saw a chiropractor and it helped but not as much as what Naomi did. She took the time to assess the problem and get a proper diagnosis. Naomi pinpointed the problem to the upper back and scapular retraction. After the first session I was in immediate relief, and felt more upright with significantly less tension. I highly recommend to this to athletes and non athletes alike, her space has a full set up with access to workout equipment. Naomi confirmed the appointment the day of and before and I left there with a new understanding of how the body works, and it goes to show you that it's all about the basics.“

“I've been dealing with chronic stomach pain for the past few months, and after seeing multiple trips to the ER, and lots of scans and bloodwork later, I decided to give acupuncture a try. That's when I found Dr. Lee, and I couldn't be more grateful. From my very first session, I felt a noticeable difference. Dr. Lee is truly one of the best acupuncture doctors in San Diego--her knowledge, skill, and care are unparalleled. Her approach is holistic and personalized, taking the time to understand not just my symptoms but my overall health. Over the course of several treatments, my stomach pain has significantly decreased, and I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. What Western medicine wasn't able to resolve, acupuncture with Dr. Lee has managed to do. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is struggling with pain or other health issues. If you're considering acupuncture, Dr. Lee is the one to see!“

“Dr. Cucarola is very kind and professional. He’s knowledgeable in his craft and I love that he truly cares for his patients. I saw how happy he was while he was sharing the positive results that their patients received from their treatment which is very encouraging for me who is receiving the same treatment. Did I mention the good deal he gave me? I don’t mind driving down here again to SD from OC for big savings and services from a great Doctor. The name of their clinic is truly their goal.. to FIX.“

“Dr. Brad has helped me out twice and fixed my problems both times when no other Chiropractor could. I've had no luck with chiropractors in the past. This doctor always comes through for me. He's
a super cool guy and very understanding. I would recommend him to anybody.“

“Dr. Keith and his son Dr. Scott are the best! Truly. They clearly care about your recovery and they aren't pushy or trying to scam you into unnecessary repeat treatments like other chiropractors I've seen in the past. I have full trust in them. Have been seeing them periodically for many years now for various incidents, and when I got into an auto accident recently I knew I could trust them. They ordered an MRI which showed torn & bulging disks & they've provided me with so much relief since. Thank goodness! So grateful for their care.“

“Dr D provided excellent care that addressed my neck issues. I needed to be seen while traveling for work and Elite Health saved my trip. From same day easy scheduling and thoughtful directions with Arlene to Dr D’s skilled care this was a great visit. My neck immediately felt better and stayed relaxed.“

“Gino Cinqo has opened a completely life changing facility. I don't know where to begin but this is not your average physical therapy even though YES they accept insurance!!! TRULY transformative healing, generosity that is boundless, kindness at every level from front desk to management. I wish Gino could be in 20 places at once. also strongly recommend Jessica Wu.“

“We’ve been coming to Dr. Hackett for years now. Finally getting around to the review. Better late than never. Dr. Hackett’s chiropractic expertise shines through as we typically come in with some injury rather than maintaining a consistent routine. She had always been easy to work with, thorough, welcoming, and patient. She is well trusted with our health and well being. Never had any issues and hope to continue to see the good doctor for many years to come. Thank you much!“

“Dr Mike is Magic !! He has helped my body heal in ways I never knew were possible. From old Army injuries (sprained ankle from Airborne School 1984) to recent aches and pains from carrying my 30lb grandson on my right hip for too long - I feel like I have a new lease on life. Seriously, pay a few dollars more and try the Active Release technique Dr K utilizes. You’re worth it !“

“Tim is amazing. Definitely worth his weight in plutonium. I went to see Tim when it was already to late. I could barely walk from terrible debilitating back pain more commonly known as sciatica. The man is a miracle worker. After you a few short visits I was able to stand, walk, and sit relatively comfortably without pain medication given to me by the VA Definitely, 100% recommendation from me .“

“Dr. Chris was referred to me by another driver. He helped me with my back pain within two appointments. I returned to him when my achilles tendons was in pain, he did A.R.T. on it and offered me a pain relief cream to put on it. His care is the only relief I feel... And I've tried it all! Even better, he takes my insurance!“

“Dr. Chang is quite experienced and knowledgeable. She is attentive, patient, and always professional. Almost a year ago, I came in with a walker. I now leave my cane in the car -- unless I can't park directly in front --it's a busy area but I've always found parking within a block or so. She even knows how a camel's knees bend when they kneel down.“

“I went to Dr Valleta for a second opinion and he was fantastic. He diagnosed what my Orthopedic doctor and radiologist missed. He’s all around great as is his staff! Everyone from the front desk to all the nurses were wonderful, positive, and incredibly helpful.“

“Gail is my go-to massage therapist and has been for years since I got into an auto accident that ultimately totaled my car. I've also had previous back surgery and Gail knows how to use the firm pressure I need to release the areas where I have big stubborn knots while also being careful in the areas of my surgeries/injuries. Gail really is a very intuitive healer and I would highly recommend her massage to anyone! Also - pro tip- if you're able to save up just a little more it is TOTALLY worth it to upgrade to the 90 minute massage. This allows more time to focus on the problem areas. This time around I also got cupping which I also highly recommend!!!! Thank you Gail!“

“The synergy La Jolla location team. They are always doing their best to help out. They treat me and my mom“

“I've had two knee surgeries in the past three years, both were 100% successful. Dr Stacey, Dr Murphy, and all of the staff are amazing. I highly recommend this medical center; if you ever need surgery following a sports accident, this is the only place to go.“

“We all know how stressful recuperating from a major surgery (total knee replacement) can be. Add to it I did not even have any assisted devices to help me move about afterwards (walker, crutches) due to poor planning. After the first week at home, Physical Therapy reached out to me and asked where you? I had to explain that due to poor planning I do not have any crutches to move about and plus maneuver my stairs to attend. I assumed that I should have such crutches for our next session. The next session arrived, and still no such devices but more excuses. I was told later to come by and pick them up and pay for them? I explained how in world do I maneuver my stairs and pick up crutches and plus I've already met my deductible and out of pocket so I should not be charged? I basically at that point ordered a pair from Amazon for expedited delivery. Not soon afterwards Francesca the supervisor from Ca Orthopaedic Institute Physical & Occupational Therapy reached out to me and said I am less than 10 minutes away and will deliver crutches to you donated from previous clients. This is not what they do as a service at all. I was shocked during her lunch she was at my porch and made sure they fitted properly. I was quite frankly blown away from this kind gesture after all I went through. She scheduled me for the next day's first session and there afterwards. I want to give a special shout out and thanks to Francesca for going beyond and helping me at this stressful event. You are awesome! You are dynamite! You are extraordinarily. Thank you!“

“Mr Wang is such a caring doctor. He is great with kids. He is extra cautious and I appreciate his care with my kids! Thank you“

“On 10/14/2024 I had my first appointment with Dr. Collins. He is a amazing doctor and spent time with me explaining my xray to me and placed me in a boot and come back in 2 was. The office staff was also amazing,professional, caring, courtesy, I recommend girard orthopedic Surgeons to everyone that needs a orthopedic doctor.“
