Quality care, listening, quickly diagnosing/treating appropriately. Staff is friendly & competent. Dr Scott Evans has been my primary, although I've seen others that I've been equally impressed with. The only negative from a patient standpoint is appts can be difficult to come by. However, they will accommodate urgent matters. I cannot say enough great things about this group. I feel very blessed to have this team guiding my healthcare.

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 went to see the MD at San Diego Sports Medicine for a knee injury and my insurance was only charged $260. The MD referred me to their Physical Therapy Department, so I said ok, made an appointment, and saw the Physical Therapist. When I got my bill about a month later, I discovered that they billed my insurance $460 for one session with the Physical Therapist! Why did the Physical Therapist cost $200 more than the MD at the same clinic? This place DOUBLE billed me (used the same billing code twice) for one single Physical Therapy session. I repeatedly told this to the billing department, but they ignored me and would not remove the duplicate charge. One of the billing representatives even said, "we billed you twice because the insurance covers both." This place is committing fraud by double billing for physical therapy. They charged me to do stretches, which I did with little to no assistance. Do not go here. You will get billed unfairly. The billing staff is unethical, and they have no empathy for their patients.

She has helped our baby tremendously with reflux and digestion issues, and we noticed improvements quickly. Beyond the physical benefits for our baby, the support, encouragement, and sense of community she has created has been truly invaluable to me as a mom. Being able to connect with other parents who are going through the exact same things has made navigating motherhood feel far less overwhelming.

Pool bottom/sides surface is worn off/ discolored areas. The metal handbars on waterline tile are rusty/ rough. The buoys on the ropes have algae growth. My 1st visit/eval took exactly 5 minutes. Interestingly the notes described a full physical exam which didn't occur. It was scheduled in the afternoon and apparently she was in a hurry to leave. I was still at the front desk scheduling when I saw her go out the door. (Later I was told this is scheduled and billed for 45 minutes.) My 3rd visit/ 2nd time in pool I was injured and had to miss next 2 visits while recovering. Their notes are accessible online. This one was a copy of the prior visit & described land therapy, though I never had any. It didn't mention my injury. She directed about 6 patients while standing by the pool. She would forget that I had some specific limitations, thus the injury. I changed my next 2 appointments to other therapists & got printouts of pool exercises to do on my own. I didn't want to get in that pool any more. I won't return

I base this on the fact that I worked in pediatrics throughout my career and this is how little ones are treated. Highly recommend!!

Hello everyone,…read more Jorge here posting about my experience at Orthopedic Specialists of San Diego. I had a Right patellar tendon rupture and needed a right patellar tendon repair.Let me start by saying that since the first appointment I knew they were really professional and had empathy towards their patients. From Cindy in the front desk to both surgeons that operated on me to their whole staff. Both Dr. Steven Allsing, & Dr. Scott Barker were very attentive, & answered all my questions. They were very clear and explained the surgical procedure step by step, so I had a clear understanding. I felt a sense of security the moment I walked out of their office. My surgery went well and Dr. Scott Barker followed up with me to answer any questions and/or concerns I had post surgery. I really recommend Orthopedic Specialists of San Diego to anyone that requires orthopedic surgery. I am a patient and I can tell you, you are in great hands. I can tell the difference 3 weeks post surgery. Thanks to them I will soon get back to my daily activities and enjoy life. Thank you all over at Orthopedic Specialists of San Diego!

This doc uses the steroid epidurals to help diagnose which disc is causing the pain. That is especially important in those of us who have multiple back issues. I am so grateful to him and his entire team. They always let me know if they're running behind and I totally understand why when I realize all the homework he does before seeing you and making recommendations. When surgery day does arrive, hopefully down the road, I will know I'm in very good hands.
