Dr. Dengerink has been my primary doctor for many years, and as a personal training business owner,…read moreI've confidently referred many clients to him. He is the most knowledgeable doctor any of us has ever encountered when it comes to injuries and other health conditions. No matter what we bring to him, he always has a clear and informed answer. What makes him truly stand out is his bedside manner. He's a great listener, genuinely caring, and incredibly easy to build a rapport with. You never feel rushed or dismissed. He has earned my and many of my clients' trust and loyalty! If you're looking for a sports medicine doctor who combines top-tier expertise with real compassion, Dr. Dengerink is your guy!

I had one of the worst healthcare experiences of my life with this physician assistant, Ashlee…read moreSmith. During my appointment, they walked out of the room while I was still speaking, which I found incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful. I never felt heard or given the opportunity to fully explain my concerns. Their demeanor came across as rude, dismissive, and lacking empathy. When you're seeking medical care, especially when you're in pain or worried about your health, you expect compassion and professionalism. Unfortunately, I experienced neither. I left the appointment feeling frustrated, unheard, and disappointed. I hope this feedback encourages improvements in how patients are treated, because no one should feel dismissed during a medical visit. I will never go back to their office.

I started Physical Therapy at PRN La Mesa in March, because after spinal cord surgery last year,…read morethe finger tips in my right hand were completely numb with no tactile sensation. The Neurosurgeon wanted to do more surgery to try and relive the symptoms. A nerve conductive study gave a diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel. I asked for a referral to PT before considering another surgery. At 74, surgery risks increase. My Physical therapist was Pablo Pelayo. After my initial interview, we both agreed that my symptoms were not typical of Carpal Tunnel. After 5 visits, I was elated to find I was getting sensation back in my fingers. This was HUGE!!. After more than a year I finally got sensation back, without surgery. Pablo's approach was phenomenal.We continued to work for a total of 16 visits. Now I have 75-80% feeling and tactile sensation back. I could not be more appreciative or grateful for having the full use of my right hand again. Pablo and the entire staff at PRN La Mesa, treat all their patients with dignity, respect and genuine concern for getting the best possible results.

Casey was pretty knowledgeable and I got some insight on my condition during my first appointment…read more I had a lower back/hip pull later that week on a Friday night so I called their number recording and emailed my PT about cancelling my Monday 2:00 PM appointment. I got a call back on Monday morning letting me know that I would be charged $99 for not giving them 24 working day notice (their initial paperwork also stated this policy so I knew about it). The person also asked me if I wanted to appeal that fee. I told her no and asked her to cancel my last two appointments. I would have expected the person calling to ask me what my mitigating circumstances were (although I mentioned them in my voice mail) rather than state I was being charged for the not canceling sooner. All in all - if I ever need physical therapy I would never consider a company that did not value me over their cancelation policy epically since they had all Monday morning to attempt to fill that slot. I also learned from the PT that he was really busy at that location. I'm giving two stars since I got some value from the PT but removing three stars since the business is not run very well in my opinion.

Amazing place for PT! I spent about about 2-3 months attending physical therapy with DPT Noora…read more During that time we spent time assessing and properly diagnosing the source of my back pain. After that Noora used different techniques of treatment such as deep tissues massages, mobility and strengthening exercises, and she even gave me print-outs of exercises I should be doing at home.

These folks are amazing! I had serious respiratory problems when my doctor referred me to them…read more (I had been to respiratory rehab at a local hospital which wasn't very good so I had my doubts.) But La Mesa Rehab was AMAZING! I'm able to function now WITHOUT carting that dang oxygen concentrator around all the time. They are also so friendly, and always challenged me ,and always encouraged me to do better. They really enjoy their work and make La Mesa Rehab a friendly and fun environment. My only complaints are that (1) they are in La Mesa...wish they were closer to my home...but they are worth the drive...and (2) that Medicare requires me to take a few weeks off every so often (but that's not their fault). They are always encouraging me and treating me with care & respect. Everyone there was amazing and friendly! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LA MESA REHAB

I was referred to Dr. Peavy by my neurologist for an assessment of Apnea while awake. Since I have…read morea brain stem injury, I thought finding a rehabilitation facility that says they specialize in physical therapy and respiratory therapy--and even Neuro rehabilitation (see YouTube channel)--I was absolutely relieved to get this referral and hopeful I would finally get the help I needed. Sadly, it was all false advertising. When a medical assistant is assigned to help someone with a brain injury who has a history of seizures alone and yells "Help" 3 times to colleagues because her parents is having a focal brainstem seizure and cannot get air in or out... those colleagues should have come running after the first cry for help. Though Dr. Peavy mentioned some recommendations while face-to-face she did not identify those recommendations in her report to my neurologist. I am uncertain whether I caught her on a bad day or if she's always rude to patients. If she asked me an open ended question, I went to answer it, but two sentences in, she said I was wasting her time. When she asked me another question, as I began answering, she said, "This is why you can't get help, you waste everyone's time." I live with a communication disorder from brain injury. Answering new questions on the spot without prior time to practice a concise, one word answer for a complex situation, is challenging at best. Ultimately she didn't know where to refer me and chose to drop me because although La Mesa Rehab claims to provide care for neurological problems, neuro respiratory problems is a bridge too far for this respiratory therapist. If living with a brain injury, and sensory flooding causes problems, this clinic is not for you. They give instructions, set a timer and walk away so there are timers going off all over the room-filled with clients working at different places. The clinic is set up to work as many patients as possible--so they will literally tell you what to do and walk away. Then they all congregate at their table area and chat while patients do workouts without close supervision around them. I was very disappointed and abandoned without the respiratory interventions Dr. Peavy mentioned in our face to face conversation. I sent multiple emails requesting what she stated in person, but Ultimately, since the conversation wasn't recorded, she wasn't willing to provide what she'd promised when we first met. She discharged me because I was too complex for her clinic. Removing "neurological conditions" from the La Mesa Rehab YouTube channel would prevent them from getting complex patients with "neurological conditions" outside their scope of practice.

You are greeted by a very nice receptionist who seems like she never has a bad day! Backtracking slightly, this is part of a chain so you go through a system to get your appointment. The app is a little clumsy to use in the beginning. Like most healthcare these days you feel like a number. But once you get in the very capable hands of your physical therapist (mine was Norma) you're given a great assessment. In fact Norma really impressed me as she paid great attention to detail, was on top of everything going on around her and balanced multiple clients along with her technician. She never missed a beat! She even brings the fun with themed activities. It seems like a tight knit family. I have a feeling the technician who worked with me after Norma may have been in training as the same attention to detail was not quite maintained. The great news is I recovered quickly from my injury and didn't need to use all the visits I was eligible for. Happy to be back on my feet and pain free.
