Dr. Alexandra Myers is my PCP and OMT provider. Dr. Myers is laid back and easy to talk to. She…read moreoften recommends lifestyle and natural remedies where possible, though she does prescribe medications, too - definitely a more holistic approach than traditional physicians. She's one of the few osteopaths that still does osteopathic manipulation therapy (OMT). She has been so supportive of me as I recover from an injury. Dr. Myers also did not push SDSM's PT service. 5 stars for Dr. Myers. I'd call the staff average. Being nice to them does help. Their billing department and referral departments could use some work, though. I got overcharged, and it took them 5 months to resolve what should have been very simple. Meanwhile, the referral department can be very slooooow, and inflexible. I had requested a different provider, and my PCP agreed to the change. The referral department would not accept the substitution, claiming the doctor did not send them an official referral request. Of course, I don't find this out until after several months after I started with my provider that we didn't have a "legitimate" referral. I still recommend them, but with those caveats.

Luckily, I was able to switch over to Dr. Koretoff's panel. Dr. Koretoff is one of the best providers I've ever had. He truly cares about his patients and listens to them. He's responsive to my questions and is willing to put in the time and effort to get the referrals or medications in that I need. I've had some serious health issues and know my body. I appreciate that Dr. Koretoff respects my concerns and refers me to a specialist when my medical history and/or symptoms warrant doing so. It's clear that he wants his patients to be healthy and have the best quality of life possible (even if it means having to engage in a prior authorization fight with an insurance company to do so. Additionally, the staff here - from x-ray tech to clinic staff - are friendly and treat me with respect. Thank you for keeping me healthy!

This is a review of Dr Koretoff and the physical therapy practice…read more I visited Koretoff mid 2024 for ongoing shoulder pain. He spent the entire appointment acting like he was late for other things and had too much going on, really didn't seem interested in hearing what I had to say and was so scattered I thought wow maybe he is just having a bad day and is distracted by something. When I went back for a second follow up visit he was even more distracted and uninterested in talking to me. He repeated the same things over and over as though he forgot he had already told me certain things that same day, kept saying he was really busy and made me feel like I was an inconvenience. Based on the first appointment he had referred me to their physical therapy program. This is the key for the practice. It wouldn't exist but for the overpriced PT that is the magic answer for all their patients. Now for the billing. Each THIRTY MINUTE physical therapy appointment is billed at $550 to your insurance. They charge $220 for 15 minutes with a STUDENT physical therapist. $230 for 15 with a licensed PT. I do have a high deductible insurance plan which I am well aware of. This means I owe a larger percentage of whatever the cost is up to my deductible. I have seen other offices and been to PT many times throughout my life and generally expect the total for a PT session to be anywhere from $120-$250 and my portion of the co-insurance to be calculated based on this. In the case of this office, they waited FOUR months until I had completed the recommended course of PT to send me any kind of bill. Strategic, so that I would not know the amount until I had completed my therapy. They have obviously implemented this strategy for a reason. Yes it is my fault for not asking for a bill upfront but never in my life have I seen a supposedly reputable PT practice charge these prices. They received from my insurance over $350 for each one of these $550 thirty minute sessions and STILL want to charge me personally $80 per session. Talk about a RACKET. Wow. When I first received the bill I called immediately with my concerns and very calmly explained the situation and rationale. I was told the office was going to discuss the matter and see what they could do for me. Over the course of the next two months I was not contacted again by SDSM and instead had to reach out to them two MORE times. Each time I was told a different story. At one point the billing office agreed the amount was very high and I was told the actual therapist could agree to a discount and that they were going to discuss this. Again, no follow up just repeated bills in the mail. When I called again to ask the outcome I was told that they can't offer any kind of discount if any portion has been paid by insurance. WTF. I again explained my outrage at the pricing and that I never would have continued and certainly never will go back had I known what they intended to charge. Again, "we will call you back". Each time I made it perfectly clear they were NOT to send this to collections which they agreed. Months went by and I received a bill now almost a year later saying that my account is delinquent and to avoid collections to contact them which I did immediately. After putting me on hold for ten minutes to read the copious notes they have in my file I was told there is nothing they can do except offer a payment plan. Upon supposedly transferring me to the payment plan office she promptly disconnected the line without actually transferring me. I had to call back AGAIN and leave a message. Everyone should be aware that this is their practice. If you are okay with insanely high bills and a practice that takes advantage of insurance (which is why we ALL pay insane premiums) then go ahead and support their business. $550 for a 30 minute PT session. No thanks. And their doctors aren't even good. Needless to say, my shoulder still hurts and now I have a headache and hours of my life lost talking to them about a ridiculous bill. Really wish people wouldn't support a business that takes advantage of insurance and over bills.

The detailed story: I was using Dr. Myers as my primary care doctor (who is really great). She ordered some bloodwork for me. I went to the lab but it was after 3 months they wouldn't do it. I called the San Diego Sports Medicine center and they said I could do it there, just walk in. I went today and explained this. They said I needed to see a doctor again since the bloodwork order was expired. Then after seeing Dr. Wang, who seemed to indicate they were going to take my blood next, the technician told me I had to go to the other lab for the bloodwork and it wasn't expired for a few more days (the other lab wouldn't take it after so many months). I asked for a clarification from the doctor, instead the office manager comes in and says that they can't do anything about it. She got belligerent as she had done the initial checkin when I came, and I asked her why she sent me back if they couldn't do the blood work. Then net of it is that I can't get the blood work done, the doctor didn't renew my order and I have to find another doctor. Avoid this place. The one star reviews are real and well deserved. I was driving out of my way to come here to see Dr. Myers. It's sad to be treated so badly.

What can I say, he is exceptional.

He is just such a sweet guy too. Very humble and cordial. He is upfront, tells you what to expect upfront and actually see you himself for aftercare and check ups. His team is also fantastic. Caring and they keep everyone up to date on whats happening when your person gets out of surgery, what to expect and what to do. Just all around you feel that everyone is in the best hands. Hands down, I would recommend him every time and I actually do every time someone asks me about a surgeon here, as I also work in the Medical field.

Here's a polished review you could post online:…read more I give Spine & Sport Physical Therapy, and especially Sierra Strain and her team, my highest recommendation. I sought treatment for a severe case of left-sided tennis elbow that had been significantly aggravated by my cello playing. As a physician, I have referred countless patients to physical and occupational therapy over the course of my career, and I have also been a patient myself on several occasions. Because of that experience, I feel I have a good sense of what excellent rehabilitation care looks like. The care I received from Sierra and her team was truly outstanding. They were knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and highly skilled. Just as importantly, they took the time to understand my goals, provided clear guidance, and developed a treatment plan that was both effective and practical. Throughout the process, I felt supported, encouraged, and confident that I was receiving exceptional care. Thanks to their expertise, my symptoms improved substantially, and I was able to return to playing the cello with much greater comfort and confidence. I recommend Sierra Strain and the entire Spine & Sport Physical Therapy team without reservation to anyone seeking physical or occupational therapy. Their combination of clinical expertise, professionalism, and genuine concern for their patients is truly exceptional.
