Alisa is my trainer. I started working with her one year ago. At that point I was only doing Pilates, so Alisa was my first experience with strength training. At the time I had lower back and hip weakness and no muscle definition anywhere. I now have muscular arms, a much better tush and a stronger back. I feel like she has given me a new body to embrace the second half of my life. She is firm but lovely. She always checks in on how my body is doing and makes adjustments if needed. She also is amazing at stretching any body part that requires extra attention. I adore her - she is a wonderful addition to a weekly routine I never expected to adopt. read more

Alex Jorgensen has been working with me since my hip replacement surgery in August 2025, and I couldn't be happier with the care I've received. He has been absolutely wonderful, and I feel terrific. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of that just a genuinely nice guy who always takes great care of me. I would recommend him to anyone. Franklin, who also works there, is fantastic as well. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and very supportive. If you're having hip or knee surgery and need physical therapy, I highly recommend seeing Alex Jorgensen at Evolution PT. read more

I'm a 43 year-old father of two kids who decided it was a good idea to play full-court basketball with 20-year-olds at SMC. And so when I pulled my hamstring three weeks ago, it didn't make sense to just walk it off and pretend like I could manage. I saw my primary care physician the very next day, got a scrip for PT and emailed Alex at evolution because he'd helped me with neck pain last year. The Beverly Hills location is always busy but Alex got me scheduled for an initial intake that same week. Since then, he and Amber have been working together to make sure that I get the care that I need. They also do their best to accommodate my busy schedule. This place is A++ read more

This company over bills your auto charge on your credit card. After completing service their billing scam company Athelas kept charging my card. I recovered the funds through the credit card company. An immoral company in the spirit of united healthcare. Buyer beware! read more

Not enough good things to say about EPT and Franklin!! He has spent countless hours providing treatment no other provider has given me thus far. He is timely, engaging, and genuinely cares about the services he provides and getting to the root of the problem. I'm running the LA Marathon this weekend and without him working on my injuries, there is no way I'd be able to do it! His attention to detail, patience, and willingness to really listen made such a difference in my recovery. I never felt rushed during appointments, and he always took the time to explain what we were working on and why. I would highly recommend !! read more

After completely tearing my whole rotator cuff and undergoing a complex surgical repair, I was relieved to get three recommendations for Evolution Physical Therapy & Fitness from three trusted sources. It's been three weeks and I am grateful to have a PT I trust. Mars, PT DPT, is knowledgeable, observant and makes wise choices regarding my treatment plan. Thank you, Mars! read more

My experience at Evolution has been amazing! The entire team is outstanding! Professional, friendly and very passionate about their work. They came highly recommended as The Place for me to get pain relief from my lower back disc bulge and lower back and hip pain. I've been coming here for three months working primarily with Alex for PT. Alex is a PT Rockstar! I have sessions with him twice a week, which are making a huge difference with alleviating my back and hip pain. I feel like a new man! He's also given me a great exercise program I can do at home. In addition to my sessions with Alex, I've been participating in Teddy's Friday morning group class which I love! The vibe is always upbeat and his playlist jams while he instructs and makes corrections with form as needed. It's a great class if you are a beginner or a beast! Though it is a group class, Teddy makes sure each individual is being challenged yet participating at a level suited for them. Evolution Physical Therapy and Fitness is a game changer! To show my appreciation to the staff for being so sweet to me... I wanted to do something sweet for them. I had my favorite bakery (EILAT BAKERY) bake a dozen sugar cookies with their logo. It was actually a bakers dozen... I ate one to make sure they were delicious. ~ Paul Carter read more

Went to Evolution Physical Therapy for my wrist because it was bothering me from work. Franklin took really good care of me and made the whole process super easy.

had my first visit with Alex and i left feeling so heard. He was very professional! I will definitely continue coming back to see him

Locations and facilities are great but the best thing about Evolution are the physical therapists. MARS is an absolute gem who helped me get back to normal following a bulging disc. They are knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging - and now I'm doing even more than I was before my injury thanks to them! Scheduling can fill up quickly due to the location, but you can book several sessions in advance with their lovely front desk team. read more

Three and a half months ago I had a full knee replacement. The first two weeks I was depressed until my doctor referred me to Evolution. This is the first time I met Carol. I've been going for about 2 months now and I have to say that Carol has really changed my life. Her dedication, determination and expertise and positive attitude are what made this whole experience ideal. I have to do my second knee within the next couple of months and there is no doubt in my mind I will be returning to Carol at Evolution. Thank you! read more

I'm super grateful to Dr. Franklin Ortiz and the folks at Evolution! I'm going on my third week of PT after having spinal surgery two months ago. It's been a tough journey but Franklin is an expert at managing surgical recovery and relieving pain. Dr . Ortiz is a great communicator and simply put, he has given me hope that I will be able to return to work. read more

Watch your insurance statements and credit card statements, friends! This company has lots of billing issues. They overbilled me for my first session, and then they are having all sorts of problems getting their claims through to my insurance successfully. They're very polite and the front desk means well, but the billing is all sorts of crazy. It's a shame because the therapist seems really caring and helpful, but after two sessions, I'm looking for a new place. read more

Mars is amazing! Since working with Mars, I have seen a remarkable difference in my strength and pain management. Mars takes time to listen to me and create a care plan that takes into account my unique needs. Best physical therapist I've had in my many years of PT! read more

I'd been trying to push through a gnarly hamstring injury and Mars has been helping me get stronger and learn so much about my body in the process. I am insanely grateful for their expertise and care!! read more

I enthusiastically recommend Evolution Physical Therapy. I had a total knee replacement, and then I worked with two physical therapists, Carole Gong and Amber Kay. They are both excellent. Carole gets results because she is a stickler for details. She watches her patients carefully to make sure they are doing exercises correctly, and she pushes them to progressively do my more difficult exercises so progress is made. She really knows what she is doing, as does Amber. I worked with Amber a little less, but she does a nice job. She gives a wonderful pre-workout massage and has a sweet and gentle way of working with her patients. I would recommend both of them. The facility has the atmosphere of a gym. They have all of the equipment a person could need to recover from surgery or an injury. Everyone also seems to be fastidious about sanitizing equipment. Alea at the front desk is very helpful. She checks people in and books appointments. The other woman at the front desk is helpful , too, read more

Everyone is so qualified and nice here, especially Alex Jorgensen! He is so knowledgeable about how to help you get better. He is also so encouraging, too. He is very patient and wants you to get well. He also has a great sense of humor and great dance moves! Have to give a nod to the ladies at the front desk who are very nice too. read more

Excellent care and service. I have been a patient here for 2 years. You can't go wrong with Evolution.

I had been going to Evolution for physical therapy. Months after my last visit, I discovered eight unexpected $3 transactions from them on my account, as well as a duplicate charge for a session in August 2025. When I reached out, their patient care specialist, Jackie C, responded to say that the duplicate charge had been refunded before posting -- but that was not reflected on my bank statement. Even after I provided documentation showing the duplicate charges and lack of refund, she replied that "everything had been done on her end," and no further help was offered. I ultimately had to dispute the charges with my credit card company to get the issue resolved. Evolution Therapy's billing practices feel deceptive, and I would strongly caution others to review their statements closely. read more

I went through several PTs while I was at Evolution. PTs leave here for a reason. I think it's important to know that since I quit Evolution several months ago I have found weekly charges of $1.99 on my credit card statement. (In two months that adds up to eighty dollars.) I see a similar post about Evolution's phantom charges from Esha on Oct. 17th. Anyone leaving Evolution would be best served by checking their statements monthly. read more

Evolution has been referred by the surgeon since it specializes in back to sport and high level training. This location has specialized equipment that most other PT places do not offer like an assisted treadmill that is great for relearning how to bear weight on your feet and relearning to walk again. Franklin has been very helpful, caring and proactive. He has even come to the Orthopedic surgery followup to talk with the surgeon and make sure that they are on the same page. read more

Well, I'm back again to give an update and another stellar review to Evolution physical therapy in Beverly Hills on Robertson. I have been receiving fantastic PT here since August 2024 for two rotator cuff tears that kept me from my workouts and many of my life activities. I worked with my favorite therapist Alex two days a week pretty consistently and I was able to rehab my shoulder to 90% mobilty, I think, and I am now able to resume my resistance training, TRX, yoga booty ballet and dance classes and all of my life activities. And I feel I am getting stronger and hope to be completely healed by the end of this year, feeling strong and amazing as I turn 75 in September. Alex has been amazing, so smart and intuitive in prescribing the effective therapy based on my progress and limitations initially and then adapting as I got stronger. I have had therapy many times in my life and Alex is a gem. He has the perfect personality for a therapist and a personal trainer, always so encouraging, very funny and amiable; we have become pals, I think. So last year Alex created a dynamic new program focusing on my tight hip flexors and lower back issues from years of playing softball, rugby, volleyball in high school and college. I have always had a personal workout program and I taught PE to my 4-6 grade students for 32 years so I was anxious to be able to return to my active lifestyle. So the wunderkind, aka:CLPTB, Alex's new program consists of the reformer, bands, TRX, and other moves that are building strength in my hip flexors, back, hamstrings and psoas! Just a note, I am thrilled that I will not have to have surgery which was recommended because of the severity of one of the RC tears. So yay! Me+excellent PT=success. Lastly, I must mention the friendly, warm, professionalism of everyone working at this location. The front desk gurus, Jackie and Aaliyah, are top-notch and so sweet. They run the show. And the entire ecosystem led by Carole and the other friendly, collaborative, therapists seamlessly seem to create a safe, nonjudgmental, welcoming space. So cool. It feels very warm, positive and kind, so important when someone is healing and recovering.. A+ Debbi Denson Aldahl read more

My experience at Evolution Physical Therapy has been truly exceptional. If you're looking for thoughtful, high-level physical therapy and rehabilitation in Los Angeles, Evolution Physical Therapy is outstanding. What stands out immediately is the supportive culture throughout the clinic -- the entire staff creates an environment that feels encouraging, professional, and genuinely invested in each patient's recovery. My rehabilitation journey has been complex. I sustained a severe leg injury while evacuating people during the fires, which ultimately required 15 surgeries and an ankle replacement. Finding the right physical therapy team after something like that is critical, and Evolution has been extraordinary. Evolution's model is unlike many other physical therapy clinics I've experienced. Rather than constantly rotating therapists, they provide continuity of care, much like a doctor-patient relationship. That consistency makes a tremendous difference because your therapist truly understands your history, your progress, and your goals. My physiotherapist, Kumi Bankson, is exceptional. She is highly educated and has a brilliant understanding of physiology and movement. What I appreciate most is how she combines deep clinical knowledge with an ability to understand each patient's individual needs. Kumi also brings the perspective of being both a dancer and a violinist, which means she understands how important range, fluidity, and expressive movement are for artists and athletes. That insight has been invaluable to me as someone working to rebuild my athleticism and return to the activities I love -- including skiing long distances, flying yoga, and dance. At Evolution, the goal isn't simply basic recovery. They truly help patients rebuild strength, confidence, and full movement, so we can return to the lives and passions that matter most. I'm deeply grateful for the care, expertise, and dedication I've experienced here and would highly recommend Evolution Physical Therapy -- and especially Kumi Bankson -- to anyone seeking thoughtful, highly skilled rehabilitation.... amazing support from the front office with Aaliyah and Jackie! read more

Outstanding experience at Evolution PT. The team is thorough, knowledgeable and caring. I've been coming here for past two years with various issues and Carole, Amber and Alex have been extremely caring and created thoughtful treatment plans for me. read more

Been under Alex's care at Evolution for two hip surgeries and it's been a great experience. He's very knowledgeable, listens to the patient's needs, while encouraging strength training. 10 out of 10! Thank you Alex and Evolution read more

Highly recommend! My PT, Lindsay is the best. She is super knowledgeable and thorough.

I've had a great experience with Evolution Physical Therapy. Alex is the best and has carefully and thoughtfully curated the best plan of action to get my injured ankle back to its prime. Thank you, Alex! read more

Amber Kay @ Evolution is the best!! I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her. She listens carefully and follows through on a physical therapy plan that works. She intuitively seems to know what will help with issues relating to different parts of the body? read more

I love evolution therapy. they have great therapist here, especially franklin. I have been working with him for over 6 months, and it takes excellent care of me. he is always making sure I am comfortable throughout all my stretches and recover (tore labrum). overall I highly recommend! Front desk staff, is always super helpful a well. read more

I have working with Mars at Evolution for months and he has been great! I look forward to my appointments every week and definitely feel myself getting better. He is attentive, thorough, and always looking to help me improve. I would definitely recommend working with Mars! read more

my experience with evolution physical therapy is miserable at best. Not only was the process to get an appointment exhausting and uncomfortable. When I showed up at my allotted time the digital check-in with the virtual host went completely off the rails. The receptionist told me to sit down and that we were checked in and immediately hung up the leaving me hanging at the facility with my child unsure of what was request for request for insurance cards no request for anything. Just uncomfortable silence. At my allotted time they still not called my child for her appointment so I inquire about timing. I was then told my appointment wasn't for another three weeks and there was nothing they could do. Looking for other dates it would be over a week to get another appointment that fit our schedule. There was very little apology no attempt to make it right and an of a business card to the regional director which I'm sure I will not get a response. Not only am I disappointed my child who is in discomfort and in need of physical therapy is now left for another moment with no care. Stay away from this business! read more

I had four sessions here to treat my patellofemoral maltracking after several months of knee pain and an MRI. I chose this place because of the good reviews and since they took my insurance. Staff here is very nice from the front desk to my therapist Erika. She was friendly, nice and compassionate about my injury which I really appreciated. She seemed knowledgeable but TLDR, I stopped going ultimately because the therapy was not helping me. I don't think I had a good program to get me back on track and honestly felt worse after four sessions at the end of the month than before I went in. The first two sessions I didn't get any exercises to go home with. Since I have a regular exercise program (which I believe is what exacerbated my injury), Erika told me to just keep working out. I asked for the third time in my third session and that's the firs time I received exercises through this portal they use which was actually very useful (not sure why she didn't start me with that from the first session so I could have more focused exercises based on my injury). The sessions consisted of a check-in and then 3-5 exercises at the sessions and mostly without someone really watching my form which I think is the important part of effective exercise. Sometimes the assistants would be balancing multiple people at once so there weren't many corrections, etc - so essentially it felt no different than doing exercises at home. One of my biggest issues was finding a way to workout with my injury and I started researching online and found out about KTape. It made an enormous difference helping me feel supported while working out. I had asked Erika about it prior and she did a demo taping but it came off in less than 24 hours so I didn't even get to try working out with it. I later went for a myofascial massage and the masseuse put the KTape on for me and it lasted an entire week and was such a pain reliever while working out. I wish that was something that was suggested to me at the beginning. Since, the PT wasn't really doing anything for me, I stopped going and have since focused on taking workout classes with instructors that pay closer attention to my form. I'm also getting a myofascial massage every few months (thank you, LA Bodyworks!) which has been enormously helpful. And when my knee acts up, I use KTape while working out to alleviate some of the pain. From other reviews, it seems they work well with people recovering from surgeries, but, for my possibly workout-related injury, Evolution just was not the right fit. read more

had spine surgery July 2nd, 2024. I'm 36 and had a disc replacement of my L4-5 and Spinal Fusion of my L5-S1. At my 2 week post op I was told that my implant had moved 1mm. At my 6 week post op the implant hadn't moved anymore and I was cleared to start physical therapy at 8 weeks. On August 8th I scheduled my first visit via email. We confirmed for August 28th at 11:00am. I did all the paperwork in advance. I never received a confirmation call or email, so I sent an email on August 27th confirming my visit on the 28th. I received an email back promptly saying we were confirmed for 11am the next day. At 10am on the 28th I received a call saying that my appointment was scheduled for 12pm, even though I had confirmed multiple times. I had a doctors appointment at 12:30pm so I was unable to make the 12:00pm visit. I was rescheduled for August 30th. I go to my first physical therapy session and I was introduced to Rodas and Teddy. Teddy then explained that Rodas is a student/intern and he will be overseeing her. I went over my entire medical history including the implant shifting 1mm and the fact I had broken 15 bones. Teddy mentioned getting a bone density scan. Rodas had me walk around to observe, and then had me lay face down on the table. She was checking my mobility and pressed down on my lower back. I yelled out and said that I felt like I had been electrocuted. She immediately stopped and I sat up. She showed me a couple exercises to do at home. Over the course of the next week my back hurt worse and worse. I went back a week later and saw Rodas. I told her I had been in terrible pain since my last visit and she then told the Teddy from my first session. The intern then massages my butt check (where pain radiated to) for 30 minutes. I saw my spine surgeon 4 days later because the pain was so bad. He thought she had fractured a vertebrae and sent me for a Bone Density and CT Scan. Luckily nothing was broken, but it's now been 4 months and I have been in terrible pain since. I tried emailing Teddy, but he hardly responds. He did, however, reach out to me after I completed a survey about the clinic and gave poor feedback. He then asked if my surgeon would be open acupuncture or other non-invasive procedures. I have since had a cortisone injection into my spine that gave me 36hours of relief. My surgeon is now suggesting either adding 2 more screws to my fusion or doing a full fusion from L3 to S1 but we have to wait until my disc replacement is healed more. The biggest problem I have with Evolution is their lack of communication. I was NEVER told prior to my visit that I would be seeing Rodas, and intern. I would have never consented to that and I don't believe my surgeon would have either. They should tell you when scheduling who you will be seeing. Introducing her at my visit is too little, too late. It's like they know patients won't want to see an intern, so they don't tell them util they are already there. Personally, I don't think an intern should even be seeing or touching a patient 8 weeks after major spine surgery. And she certainly shouldn't be treating me without direct supervision, like she did at our 2nd visit. Still no response from Teddy when I mentioned that. It's unfortunate that they hardly respond and haven't offered any other solutions in their clinic, even though Teddy asked I keep him updated with my progress. I tried to reach out to get a manager/owner email and they said Teddy was the assistant clinical director so I guess that makes him in charge? They also billed my insurance for service date 8/28/24 (my original scheduled date, that I never went to) and 8/30/24 (which was denied because they submitted the claim too late, on 12/19/24.) I don't know whose actually in charge over there but they should know what's going on. read more

I was on a mission the last few years to find a great physical therapist and PT office to care for my various EDS-related pain, and I found it with Amber at Evolution PT! I've mainly been focusing on chronic ankle pain due to repeated injuries, as well as the imbalance issues caused by flat feet. Amber has always demonstrated an openness to listen to my concerns, every single week, and address them proactively. For example, I've had to try KT tape around my problem ankle, and Amber has tried various different ways of wrapping, adjusting it to avoid whatever issue I had the previous week. I can see her thinking through the best way to accommodate various pressure / pain / strain that is plaguing me with what would be 'normal' exercises for regular bodies. I'm so glad I found her! Other physical therapists at other practices have not been as knowledgeable -- usually asking me to "push through" pain -- but Amber's approach and thoughtfulness in meeting me where I'm actually at has been encouraging and effective. read more

I also attended some of the group classes and that was a fun and different way to rehab! read more
