Life Changing!!…read more First, let me just say I was getting so pissed reading through some of the bad reviews because I have now done (2) 3 month rounds of therapy here and all those complaints are just nonexistent now. I just laughed when I saw they were 5 and 10 yr old years old. They really should, at some point, be expired and taken down. Those old reviews have absolutely no bearing on how the place is run and staffed today. I started my first round of therapy at Pacific Coast in May of 2022. I HATED it, but had to wear a mask per PC rules, while in the facility, and they ABSOLUTELY spray and wipe down everything after patient contact and STILL DO. The mask, per state regulation is optional now, per the patients comfortability. After any kind of major surgery you are hurting. It is a no brainer that your recovery is gonna hurt too. Sitting down to pee hurts so I'm not sure what the previous clients were expecting. I've cried lots of times doing physical therapy. I WANT to push myself to get my full range of motion back. Your body just went through a very a traumatic experience with your surgery. Like you babies, it just wants to curl up and go to sleep, and wake up feeling better. So here's a Wake Up! It doesn't work that way! How old were these reviewers? I my past I have been sent to some pretty nasty boot camp therapy facilities and this ain't them. I have to say I was less than thrilled that my knee surgeon was so adamant about me using Pacific Coast for my p.t. post surgery because I live in Capitola, and at that time my handicap accessible van was costing me $150 to fill its tank. Not to mention dealing with the traffic. I also have back issues with surgeries overlapping or postponing my knee surgeries. My pain was constant and coming from everywhere. The LAST thing I wanted to do was get up, clean up, and make that 30 minute trek into Watsonville. I was so terrified the first time around, they may have indulged me a bit more with extended ice packs and massages. No matter what level of pain I was crying about or where it was coming from, they would convince me to come in anyway. I can tell you I ALWAYS left them either feeling better about myself or just feeling better in my recovery. There is such a good positive energy in that place. The therapists are young, excited to learn and work and really weirdly happy. The front desk has always treated me with respect and kindness and let me tell you, I am not an easy client. With my boo boos slowing me down already and just always running late in general because of my other handicaps, if I wasn't late I would be squealing in there bordering late, while all the good clients sat calmly, and clearly early, waiting patiently for their appointments. I've never seen anyone treated rudely. There may be times that I came in cranky, but it never lasts. It is just the epitome of the way Stephen Bruce runs that place and it just rubs off on everyone. They are empathetic if your pain without being condescending. They are serious in their work without being bored insensitive jerks (ok I too have had some bad past experiences), and if I ask one of the newer or younger therapists a question and he or she is unsure of the answer they immediately go seek Stephen out to be able to come back with the current information. It blows me away, especially in my medical world if I get the standard "I don't know," and then leaves you still in question. Here you get, "I'll go find out,". I could go on and on, and I will probably, when I finish my therapy for my right total knee replacement. So I will just close with this...this place is WORTH the drive, the time, and the effort. You will Never leave this facility feeling worse than when you came in and I PROMISE you, this id not a physical therapy assignment you have to drag yourself to. It's the highlight of my week. It lifts you physically, mentally, and a bit spiritually as well. I'm already feeling sad that I only have 3 more sessions before I get to "Ring the Bell!" Yoh want to know what that means--go find out for yourself! (Please excuse any spelling or grammatical errors, I never go back and reread my posts.)

Adriana is outstanding! I also liked that Adriana has one patient at a time, you are not in a large room with lots of other physical therapists and their clients. This was private and professional.

The cleaning crew is outstanding. They keep the facility spotless all the time. A High 5 for all of them. In my case management was the weak link. Communication in a timely manner was sorely lacking.
