It's an open concept and bright space with lots of patients and physical therapists. Mary-Claire took the time to diagnose my issues and tailored a PT program to get me right. The rest of the staff are also friendly and helpful, including AJ, Christian, Adrian, and Andrea. I didn't work with Andrius but he seemed knowledgeable and caring. My one note is that it can feel like the patients are put through an assembly line so you might have to speak up to get extra attention on your exercise form or discuss what's working or not in the program. Very easy to call in to make an appointment or change it. The office also helped me deal with an insurance snafu. There's parking in the back but all the spaces are reserved for specific businesses so you may have to do street parking even if it looks like there are open spaces.

My orthopedic doctor advised me to go to physical therapy for up to three months, after one month of being in a sling. I have had plenty of other injuries in the past and this one has definitely been the slowest to heal and quite limiting in terms of going through daily lifestyle tasks. Finding a facility for physical therapy was a bit challenging. Many in my area had no reviews, or even worse, negative reviews. The facility which my doctor recommended did not even return my call for a consultation. I decided to take a chance on Mariners, which is established in Orange County, but new to this location. Upon my first consultation, I felt very comfortable there. It is organized, clean and professional. Service is great. They process your insurance claims, which I am finding several places do not do. The therapists are very knowledgeable and just pleasant - positive. They share duties so you may interact with multiple therapists and aides in one session. Most importantly I am seeing progress with my mobility and flexibility with their treatments. They add and remove exercises each week, so it is not monotonous. In the past I have had PT that involves lots of manual massage (which I love) and I've had some sessions where the therapists spend two-three minutes with you then send you to a roller table the rest of the time. Mariners definitely has substantive treatment the whole hour or so you are there. The only thing I would prefer is more of a massage component as it is a bit painful to just jump into exercises. They do however, do stretches with you before the exercise component. I would also like to see a more formalized program of at-home exercises to do. In the past I have received these plans with diagrams and instructions. I had to ask about at-home exercises after several weeks of treatment since none were offered to that point. Aside from those small matters, I do have lost of confidence in Mariners and will continue to work with them.

I am so grateful I went to see Dr. Lee. He has a calm and grounding presence and is incredibly knowledgeable in chiropractic care and Eastern medicine, and I left feeling supported, understood, and more at ease in both my body and mind. I believe movement is medicine, and that our bodies can hold onto stress and experiences that may impact how we feel physically and emotionally. Through Dr. Lee's work with the NET technique, I was able to uncover emotional patterns that I didn't realize were affecting certain areas of my life. The experience brought real emotional clarity and helped me feel more connected to the physical and emotional changes I was experiencing. I also brought my son to see Dr. Lee and appreciate how gentle and welcoming he was with him. My son felt comfortable right away, and it was clear that Dr. Lee truly looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms. I highly recommend Dr. Jerry to anyone looking for a more holistic approach to wellness and meaningful improvements in both emotional and physical well-being.

The NET session helped me release emotional stress that felt deeply stuck in my nervous system, and I genuinely felt lighter and more balanced afterward...something that isn't easy during grief. He also introduced me to LightStim therapy, which was a whole body red light that was incredibly relaxing and helped with inflammation, muscle soreness, and shoulder tension, leaving my body feeling calmer and more supported in recovery. Also really appreciate how intentional he is about what he offers...from clean, high-quality supplements to foot bath detox machines backed by real testing that showed measurable reductions in heavy metals. That level of care builds real trust. He's helped my mom as well, and everyone we've referred to him loves him. Dr. Jerry Lee is an amazing soul with a truly caring heart, and I can't recommend him enough.

I've been to two other chiropractic practices in the past where I felt rushed and like they didn't really listen to me, so this was a completely different experience. With Dr. Espinosa, I never felt rushed and he really listens to what's going on with your body. After seeing him, I noticed a real difference. My hip and back pain improved significantly. I'm now able to work (the source of my back pain) without discomfort and even get back into the gym pain free. TLDR, highly recommend if you're looking for someone who is patient, doesn't feel rushed, and delivers results.

I had been in ankle pain for more than a year....but I did what so many of us do, I put it off, I pushed through. I climbed Mt. Whitney (after climbing all the highest peaks in Southern California) and pushed through it until I couldn't push through it anymore. Running (one of my favorite forms of exercise) was now off the table. I needed help. I sat down with a list of Physical Therapists and started calling and when I spoke to Carolyn - she listened - she asked questions and she genuinely seemed to care. After listening to me she knew I had to get in to see Dr. Maddie and she made it happen. I booked an appointment and then received my welcome packet. It was thorough and helpful and I knew what to expect before I walked into my first appointment. Maddie listened and committed to making a plan to get me back to all of my favorite activities and then she dug in and she worked hard for me and felt invested in my recovery. I can not overstate the value of the 1:1 experience. When you're working with Dr. Maddie you have her full attention and your therapy is tailored to your needs. She answers questions and keeps you informed so that you can be partners in your recovery. She uses an app to provide your home exercise routine and she adapts as needed. I was also pleasantly surprised when I was sent home with the things I needed to do my home exercises, at no extra charge! The attention to detail from Elevated Physical Therapy is unparalleled as is the level of care you'll receive from the whole team. My experience then led my husband to working with Dr. Maddie too. I've been able to return to hiking, playing tennis and running without pain! And I know Elevated PT will be there for me if I need anything in the future.

Each session was a balance of PT massage(?) and physical exercises. They were varied and interesting, so I looked forward to each session as it didn't feel like a chore. In addition, there's a companion mobile app where you get daily exercises (with video demonstrations!) to do at home. You also have direct text messages with the receptionist, Carolyn, who is very responsive and such a rarity to find in healthcare. I'm so grateful to Maddie and Carolyn for getting me back to being MOBILE again! I cannot recommend them enough.

To quote a prior reviewer "Why is every Orthopedic office is Pasadena so poorly run? This is the…read moresecond one I've gone to and experienced a poorly run office." It's amazing how poorly run these Pasadena ortho specialists are, almost like they've been trained by experts how to create a process that is as inefficient and ineffective as possible while simultaneously insulting and disrespecting their customers. In this regard, it is an impressive place. Of course, we all know the reason: they make more money by over scheduling -- just like airlines. We all have wishful, aspirational beliefs that doctors' offices are "different" than car dealerships. They aren't: it is always about the money. So, from the general to the specific. This place is typically a nightmare in terms of timing. You really do need to schedule about 3 hours for an appointment. There is limited parking in the building, so expect to park in the adjacent lot (no validation, because that would eat into profits). Once there, you check in. Generally speaking, the staff are about as welcoming and kind as your typical Subway (sorry Subway workers, but you know it's true). You are a widget in their process. Give them your info and wait. A long, long time. Usually about 1 hour. And that's just to get past the front area. Next, they whisk you to an x-ray. Doesn't matter if you need one. Doesn't matter if you want one. Doesn't matter if you already have one. Again, it's about the money. So you get one. And before you do, you wait -- though usually only about 15 minutes here. Then you are put in a room. Yay! You'll see a doctor. Eventually. Sometimes, this room wait is 30 minutes, sometimes an hour. I've actually started to walk out and leave at this point. Finally, you see a doctor. I've seen a few here. I thought Dr. Bradley Johnson was good. He was unhurried. He explained things. He did what he could for me. Dr. Mark Jo is a different story. Same start: he seemed good, seemed unhurried, seemed to explain things. Problem is, he got it all wrong. First, he looked at the aforementioned x-ray and said your knee looks great. No problems structurally. You absolutely can run on it. But let's get an MRI to be sure. You can run in the interim. NOTE: he never touched my leg. He did not do the thing you see all doctors do on live football or basketball games to test the structural integrity of the knee. Ok, no problem, I'll run and get an MRI. I go back a few weeks later with the MRI in hand (and my knee where knees are). After the above-described wait, I get to the doctor portion of the adventure. Dr. Jo says that my MRI shows a moderately sprained ACL -- I should absolutely NOT be running on it, and he's surprised anyone would tell me I should (NOTE: that was him who did the telling). He also says that he's surprised he didn't pick it up on his first examination, you know, when he did the ACL test on my knee. I reminded him he never touched my knee at the first appointment. Oh well. So, great, I now have been running on a sprained ACL, making it worse. But at this point, I'm not really trusting Dr. Jo's opinion. I get copies of the MRI AND the MRI report. I read the report (as a non-MD, it turns out I am nonetheless able to read). Dr. Jo merely quoted the report to me. He didn't actually look at the MRI. Great. So I'm out. I go to another ortho place. This doctor (Dr. Rishi Garg) actually examines my knee with his hands. He also looks at the MRI. Both tests, he says, make it clear that my ACL is totally fine -- actually really good for my age (I later confirm this with an independent radiologist). Dr. Jo was just wrong. All across the board. Ok, so what's the lesson here? Huntington Ortho is a YUGE time suck. They are run like a for-profit business --- because they are one. Don't expect any old-school approach to doctoring here. And, if you get the wrong doctor (e.g., Dr. Jo), your care may be pretty bad.

I guess Jimmy already got the money, he really doesn't care if i could get my pre-pay money back or not; my Insurance paid all the money in early Feb. And the money sit in somewhere for 3.5 months. Jimmy and his accountant didn't do their jobs to trace the money back, and Jimmy complained when i asked him questions, he even yelled to me saying i gave him the frustration! Finally he got the money on April 1, and he still held it for one and half months until I called to threaten that I would sue him in Small Claim Court if i don't get my check in a week! It's more than enough for the process of reimbursement! In my 22-year life in USA, i've never seen a doctor like Jimmy. I will not recommend Jimmy to any of my families and friends!
