I previously went to a different PT place that had me doing the same 4 exercises every session. They discharge me after 6 visits and I was still in so much pain. I had my pcp refer me to a new place, this one, where I met Max and Brandon and all their wonderful aides. They treated me like an individual and not just someone lumped in with a group that they had to hurry and see and send on my way. They learned about me and pushed me when I was ready, and took it easy on me when needed. They were invested in my care which was so appreciated. I spent a few months there getting better and stronger before being discharged with the tools I needed to succeed at home. I was sad to leave! The front desk was very responsive and so friendly - very easy to work with! Highly recommend this place! read more

I paid for a physical therapist, but instead I got an unlicensed student. I am a longtime suffer of foot pain, and I attempted to continue physical therapy at California Therapy Solutions (CTS). I was assigned a student who, while knowledgeable, was inexperienced in a clinical setting. This was disappointing, but the student was enthusiastic and appeared to have a good understanding of my condition. After 2 visits, I had regressed quite a lot due to overloading a muscle group. I think the initial assessment of my strength and muscle stamina was incorrect and the student didn't modify my exercises appropriately. This resulted in severe cramping and muscle stiffness and has caused other conditions I have to flare-up. I am worse off now than when I started. I do not blame the student for my bad experience, but I do blame CTS for their poor therapy/training structure. The licensed physical therapist, named Bill, who was in the office, did not supervise the student. Bill did not assess me or observe the student while he was assessing me. Bill did not observe us while I was receiving instruction and performing exercises. I believe it is inappropriate for a student to be given full authority over patient assessment and treatment before they are a licensed professional. If you don't want a student treating you without supervision, I suggest you go to a different location. I canceled my future appointments and I will look for a different physical therapist after my flair-up calms down. read more

This review is strictly for the billing department / Bree Ashurt, head of the billing department. FUTURE AND FORMER PATIENTS BEWARE!!!! Before this year, I had no bad things to say about California Therapy Solutions. I frequented the Irvine location two years ago when I had knee surgery and was able to receive the care I needed through wonderful physical therapists and their assistants. Despite receiving care two years ago, I recently received a letter in the mail about a balance due. It stated that I owed a total of about $1,500 from my appointments. I thought this was strange, considering the Irvine location helped me with understanding my copays and even celebrated with me when I didn't have to pay my copay anymore! I called the Irvine location to confirm with them that this bill was outstanding and I was referred over to the Costa Mesa location where Bree works. I gave them a call, left a message, and didn't hear back. So in the meantime, I contacted my previous insurance to ask them about the payments. As it turned out, my insurance had paid IN FULL! TWO YEARS ago! I waited for Bree to call me back, as I wanted to give her the appropriate time to gather information to reach back out to me. After no response, I called the next morning at 11 and got into contact with her, only for her to tell me that she got my message and was going to call me after her lunch. She told me that she took a look at my patient profile and that it was accurate -- that I owed $1500 to the company. When I told her I spoke to my insurance and they had proof of payment on their end and my patient profile end, she snapped back at me and said "that's impossible, because we didn't get anything. Who did you speak to?" She even laughed! I calmly told her that I spoke a representative yesterday and she demanded a name and time at which I called -- as if she could reach the same person to argue with, instead of just contacting the insurance company to speak to them? She quickly ended our conversation and said she would get back to me when she was able to contact my insurance. Lo and behold, I get a call not 10 minutes later of her snarky attitude and a fake apology of how the billing department messed up and it was a mistake on their end. And get this --- California therapy ended up OWING ME money. She said she would get a check sent out to me, confirmed my address, and ended our call. A month later, the check never came. I called back and asked to speak with her - the receptionist asked what I was calling about and she put me on a brief hold. She told me that Bree was there but that she (the receptionist) was the one to continue helping me out. She said she was looking directly at the check in her hand and it said it was returned to the sender. So not only did she have my phone number, my correct address, my email, and the check returned to her, she didn't want to bother sending me the money that the company owed me due to overpaying. So not only did they fail to contact me, Bree decided I wasn't worth talking to, so she had the receptionist take care of it. Mind you, they had already sent me a bill to the SAME ADDRESS when I allegedly owed them money. When I apologized to the receptionist for my frustration, I asked her why I wasn't contacted and she responded with "honestly, I have no idea. I couldn't tell you." I gave her a different address to avoid anymore issues and went on with my life. I received the check last week, it looks like the billing department got one of the numbers wrong. Make it make sense. I would refer my friends to CTS for any of their PT needs and tell them about what a wonderful experience I had, but this whole situation has turned it sour. I can't imagine how often CTS' billing department has gotten away with scamming their former patients (especially the older clientele they have) into sending them money for bills insurance has already paid for. Will never come to any CTS establishments or refer ever again. read more

I have had the best experience at CTS Costa Mesa. I have been going there, off and on, for years for rehab from injuries and hip and knee surgery. I have been to other PT facilities and there is no comparison. The therapists are very knowledgeable and friendly. The biggest difference between this and other PTs is that they don't leave you during the visit. The PT or assistant never leave your side so there is no downtime between exercises or treatments. The location and parking are easy to access and the facility is very clean. All equipment and tables are sprayed down with alcohol after each use. I highly recommend CTS at the Costa Mesa location. read more

Can I give Infinity as a rating? Thanks to Bill and CTS, my daughter was recently given a scholarship to row at the 9th ranked team in the country, Indiana! Without Bill, this NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!! Thank you Bill and the team at CTS! read more

Came here after my orthopedist recommended - and I'm Amazed how fast (only two weeks) I have seen results. I have way more mobility in my shoulder, and less pain. Mr Gabriel and Yvonne are my PTs and they are great! The whole staff is super friendly too. I recommend! read more

I had an excellent experience at CTS. The staff is knowledgeable and the exercises were effective in improving my strength and balance. I like this place a lot! read more

I had a fantastic experience at CTS over the last few weeks while receiving therapy for my shoulder. I had the pleasure of working with Erin, Megan, Rachel, and Devon... all of whom were very thorough, friendly, and professional. Each person provided her own expertise and unique take on best practices, which I loved. I tend to lose proper form quickly but they were always there to catch it and correct me, providing great tips to maintain form and continue the exercises at home. I feel perfectly rehabilitated and am very satisfied! read more

Unfortunately despite getting better with physical therapy, I was unable to continue. My hip pain, sciatica and Osteoporosis were downplayed and dismissed by Bill and he wanted me to do Pilates instead of continuing with physical therapy. Not happy ! read more

Don't waste your time. Unresponsive and don't care much about their follow-up. You'll be waiting forever to get relief if you go here. PASS! read more

I was sent to another PT facility and went back to my doctor and requested a referral to go back to California therapy. I worked with Sandra Justen and Julian. They were able to get me full use of my right arm after reverse shoulder replacement surgery. All of the staff at the Costa Mesa facility are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend California Therapy to everyone. Thank you Sandra and Julian for everything. Denise Ballash read more

I made an appointment with Bill and waited over one month to see him. I was referred to him by my physical therapist who came to my house a few weeks after hip surgery. I arrived and the receptionist said my appointment was 30 minutes later than I scheduled. I waited 45 minutes and then someone other than Bill came out. She informed me that Bill left unexpectedly in the morning. They didn't bother to try calling me. When I asked when she could book again she said it would be over one and a half months. Don't go to this facility!!!! They treat people like ,,,,,, read more

I had the same type of experience as rowdy d who posted a review in 2019. Bill could not seem to remember my name or which side my injury was on. He called another woman by my name and had me push some huge apparatus until I was breathless then tried to counsel me on breathing when I was there for a shoulder injury. Something is definitely off and, unfortunately, he seems to be quite mean spirited. I thought about not leaving a review but i would not want to choose this provider based on other reviews that seem to be quite good. Maybe he prefers a specific type of client. I would never go back there or recommend it to anyone else. read more

I would not recommend this facility to anyone! Hygiene doesn't mean anything here! No hand washing / wear gloves between the patients with open wound!!!!! read more

Dear Staff. Thank you for saving me from surgery and making me just about whole again. Alicia, your staff is amazing. Joy (IRV), Lindsey (CM) are so welcoming and caring. Tyson, Bill, Emilo are the best PTs that anyone could ask for. Very caring, informative, passionate, and personable. I owe these guys everything! Dr Lee, from Newport Orthopedics, referred me to CTS. My lower back was very very messed up (L1 & S1 blown disc) and both of my legs (Sciatica). Major pain. Everyone said I would need surgery for sure. Well, CTS saved me from surgery. I am so thankful for them. I recommend them to all. I went from pain level 9 to pain level 3 in 4 weeks. If you are in the similar situation you know that's amazing. Thank you all. read more

Newport Beach branch of California Therapy Solutions is a great place for PT. ERIN M was my therapist. After attending California Therapy Solutions for several months my back is feeling much better. Devon and Shelly (assistants) were also very positive and helpful in guiding me through all my exercises......as a friend said PT is taking care of yourself....."Self Love". read more

I made the mistake of coming to California Therapy Solutions because of its convenient location close to my home and because I was misled by the positive reviews. I cannot stress enough the horrible experience I had as a client of Bill's. I am a former college athlete who has had several major injuries and surgeries. I have worked with numerous physical therapists but working with Bill was, by far, the worst experience I have ever had rehabbing an injury after surgery. He was mentally absent, disengaged and reckless during each of our sessions. Before beginning therapy, CTS requires clients to fill out extensive paperwork and bring in therapy referrals & doctor's notes, however, it seems Bill did not review any of my paperwork before beginning therapy together. My doctor wrote very clearly that I was not permitted to do any strengthening exercises until given notice. On our first day together, Bill required me to do several strengthening exercises despite my expressed concern and extreme pain levels. On the next visit, he let my newly operated arm flop completely over while measuring arm extension. His words to me were, "Whoa... That was like the worst thing I could have done. My bad..." He left me in excruciating pain and with potential hardware failure but it's okay because he said it was his bad..? Hearing his reaction to this made it pretty clear to me that he was sloppy in his treatment execution and lacked any real commitment to caring individually for each patient during every session. My sessions were scheduled in the morning, maybe he's not a morning person or was still asleep, but those visits were more than enough for me to decide that I would never be back. read more

Just started my PT with Vicky and Lucy and am very impressed with their knowledge and compassion. I'm rehabbing from bursitis of the hip and looking forward with their help to a full recovery. Judi R. read more

The best thing I could ever have done was to Find California Therapy I broke a bone in my shoulder and tore my Rotator cuff from a fall in July. I read reviews about Bill, and went to be evaluated by him in Costa Mesa after the Physicians cleared me for Therapy. Bill and his Staff are incredible! They are so knowledgeable and Caring and always have your recovery be the most important issue during your sessions! I highly recommend California therapy... read more

I have been working with Lachelle for months now and it is great! I am an elite rower who trains twice a day and so I come in weekly for maintenance/prehab. Lachelle does manual work followed by exercises and I couldn't be happier with the treatment. I finally learned how to use my core (which is HUGE in rowing). She has also helped me with all sorts of muscle pains- ribs, hamstrings, shoulders, etc. read more

Great place. Great people. The most beautiful location for rehabilitation you can imagine. If it wasn't for the wonderful therapists at CTS, I don't think I would have recovered from a ruptured Achilles in under 5 months. Highly recommended. read more

"December 27th marked the last day of an eight month journey rehabbing my hip flexor and piriformus at California Therapy Solutions after a routine colonoscopy left me with sepsis and major life-saving surgery. My PT, Lindsay Stadler was nothing short of amazing. I can't give enough positive feedback about my time spent with at this remarkable facility. Lindsay fully invested herself into my case the moment I walked through the door. I felt as if my recovery was just as important to her as it was to me. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and so much fun! I appreciated that she was always thinking of creative ways to challenge me, even crafting a faux paddle boarding experience to help me get back on the water. Every assistant I worked with was attentive and professional. The Costa Mesa office is a soothing environment on the sixth floor with killer views. While it is rewarding to be officially done, I must say it is it is a bittersweet feeling because I am going to truly miss my weekly routine with people that made me feel like a friend. Lindsay's care allowed me to regain my quality of life which is priceless. Thank you California Therapy Solutions read more

The team is great. Very caring about your issues and developing a comprehensive care plan. The facility is extremely well cared for and follows exceptional COVID cleaning practices. I have been going for several weeks and Leo customizes my care plan on each visit based on my current condition and Holly is very kind and encouraging as we go through my exercises. read more

Awesome group of people here at CTS Costa Mesa. Very passionate and brilliant at what they do! Really appreciated all that they did to help me get my shoulder back in working condition. Hopefully I won't have any reason to do any rehab again but if it happens I know where I am going! read more

This is a wonderful group of people who are caring and very knowledgeable. Bill has been so helpful in keeping my core in shape and my back away from surgery. I would not go anywhere else! David D. read more

Best PT around! Lindsay Stadler is an amazing PT! Bill is also an amazing PT! Yvonne (Aide) is extremely caring, knowledgeable and proficient. I had shoulder surgery on March 6, 2019 and had my final PT on May 21, 2019... my shoulder is doing great! This was my second time at CTS and both experiences have been extremely positive. read more

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and they do a good job being accommodating with appointment times. Christina is an awesome Dr. of PT who is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and ask questions of. Unlike some spots there's always someone monitoring you to make sure you aren't messing up your exercises. Also, they have a great 180 degree view of the surrounding Newport Mesa area which is a plus. They will laugh at your jokes and mock you if they are bad....also free mints! read more

Great customer service. Everyone is so friendly and personable. LSVT certified.Christina is a great physical therapist.

I am a medical professional who needed rehab for an injury and I was wonderfully impressed with Bill Gabriel. He was so great with me, and he knows his stuff, and his manner is very soothing and encouraging. His assistant Yvonne was also great to work with. Diligent, very upbeat. I recommend this clinic highly. read more

CTS has helped me recover from a few injuries. I had surgery on my knee in september 2014 and my right shoulder in June 2015. Both times, I went to CTS to rehab my injuries. The staff is very professional and friendly. They helped me set obtainable goals in a reasonable time frame. They are willing to work with you on either just getting back to normal day to day activity or (in my case) back to competition condition. They challenge you enough to get great results but not so much that you feel uncomfortable. Christina is an awesome PT and any of the staff there are top level professionals. read more
