I left my only visit with Dr. Fontaine feeling really disappointed. I paid a very high fee for what…read morewas described as an initial healthy aging assessment, and I expected a thoughtful evaluation and guidance on next steps. Instead, much of the visit felt focused on selling additional products and services. During the appointment, I was encouraged to purchase vitamins and supplements from the office, and it seemed like there was one upsell after another. While Dr. Fontaine did suggest additional tests that might be helpful, I was told those orders would only be sent to the appropriate medical facilities if I signed up to become an ongoing patient, which meant paying additional significant fees. Overall, the experience felt more like a sales process than a medical consultation, which was surprising given the already high cost of the initial visit. I did not leave feeling like my well-being as a patient was the priority. Instead, it felt as though the focus was more on generating additional revenue.

I am sharing my experience to raise awareness about laser hair removal treatments at this location…read more During my second session, I informed the nurse twice that the heat was causing significant pain. After the first few seconds, I was told the settings were the same as the previous session. When I spoke up again to say it really hurt and asked why, the nurse told me it was likely because I had 'more hair this time.' The procedure was not adjusted in response to my reports of pain. The physical result the next day included visible burns, blistering/bubbling below my lip, and burn dots above my side jaw. When I called to report these injuries, the nurse (who I have since been told no longer works there), in my opinion, responded with little concern or empathy, which I expected in a clinical setting. I cancelled my weekend plans, which I informed the nurse of. I spent significant time and money on corrective treatments (serums and HydraFacials at another medical spa) to repair the damage to my skin. I initially chose this clinic based on reviews and pricing, but based on my overall experience, I cannot recommend them. In my opinion, the lack of responsiveness to a patient's reported pain level is a potential safety issue. I will be returning to a different clinic where I have previously received safe and attentive care. Just as info: I asked for a refund of the session where I had the burns (last attended session) and did not ask for a refund of the first session. The request for refund of the last session where I got the burns was denied.

There are different levels of experience and knowledge within My Physio for Life. I would highly recommend.

I would strongly urge anyone considering Dr. Ilana to seek care elsewhere. Our experience was…read moreextremely negative. The therapy my father received felt careless, ineffective, and lacked the level of attention you would expect from a healthcare professional responsible for someone's recovery. When I tried to raise concerns about the quality of care, the response was dismissive and defensive rather than professional or solution-oriented. Instead of acknowledging the issues, it felt like the situation was turned around in a way that suggested my father was the problem. That is a deeply troubling way to treat patients and their families. The combination of ineffective therapy and the way our concerns were handled made the entire experience unacceptable. Healthcare providers should prioritize patient care, accountability, and respect -- none of which we experienced here. Based on our experience, I would strongly encourage anyone looking for physical therapy to find another provider who takes patient care and recovery seriously.

Dr. Grove is amazing! He has a great bedside manner; his surgical nurse, Lucy is very kind and…read morethoughtful and the entire staff at Palomar Hospital in Poway were great. The hospital has very caring nurses who always explained to me exactly what they were giving me in the way of medication while I was at the hospital. What was the most impressive was Dr. Grove's respect and consideration for my religious choices. He reassured me that he could accomplish what was needed without the use of whole blood products and he did just so! I healed much quicker than I expected, with minimal pain and he released me from his care within a month of a complicated, serious surgical procedure. I will be moving out of state soon yet if I ever need surgery again, I would return to San Diego North County just to have Dr. Grove help me again. Thanks so much, Dr. Grove! You are a keeper!

Dr. Grove is a wonderful doctor with a very pleasant bedside manner. I felt comfortable with his…read moreassessment and surgical plan for me. He made me feel at ease and I am fortunate that he was my surgeon. However, the rest of the staff at MISNC treated me unprofessionally and very poorly- the worst of which was Melanie, Dr. Grove's medical assistant. Even though my PCP put the referral in as urgent, it still took almost a month just for a consultation because, and I quote, "How do we know you have a hernia? If you're in pain you should just go to the ER and you won't even have to come here." Back and forth with my PCP about the surgeon "not having my note" and no diagnostic ultrasound was ordered. My PCP said they would order it. The surgeons medical assistant said he won't see me until I have one. So they were just going to make me wait one-two-three- four weeks for just a consultation. They wouldn't even let me make an appointment with the doctor just to talk to him!!!! PCP calls me back and orders the ultrasound. Then and only then did they finally make me an appointment. Three weeks of being told "they don't have the notes" and "doctor hasn't read my notes" to "how are we supposed to know you have a hernia? Just go to the ER." Got scheduled for surgery a month after consultation- mind you they are supposed to call within 72 hours for urgent or 7-14 business days for routine. THREE WEEKS LATER, I finally call their scheduler and ask what's going on- get a bunch of excuses about they're busy and booked up until the end of January. My referral was initially entered to consult with surgeon in the middle of October. Surgery referral was approved 11/20. She finally calls me back and apologized and offers me Dec. 11th. I had my surgery yesterday and everything went well, Dr. Grove was fantastic and did a great job. Fast forward to today and the wound is bleeding some and I'm having massive pain upon ambulation. Post op nurse at the hospital advised me to stop taking the ibuprofen and call surgeon ASAP. I called and left message. An hour later the MA calls me back and once again- her only words of advice were "Since you're in pain with bleeding you should just go to the ER." Twice now she's pawned me off saying not their problem- I should just go to ER. No different meds or anti-inflammatories. No office visit to check sutures. Just go to the ER. I tell you, I've never been treated so poorly as a patient in all of my 36 years. I've had children and this was my fourth overall surgery. Dr. Grove, your office staff does not do you justice. I have no desire to go back for my two week post op visit. I have no faith whatsoever in the staff at MISNC. If I wasn't under an HMO, in pain, and just wanting to get this over with, I would have definitely gone somewhere else. They obviously "were busy" and made me feel discarded and like a nuisance. ***Fast forward to July 2020. Horrific episode of nausea and vomiting. See PCP via telehealth after finding a protrusion at surgery site from Dr. Grove 12/2019. She recommended a new surgeon when informed about poor experience here. Saw a new surgeon less than one week later who is going to fix the now incarcerated recurrent ventral hernia, wish I was not in this position. Never once did I have to play phone tag with new office. Surgery scheduled next Monday to finally fix what should have been done with Dr. Grove. Sad about my overall experience here and wish it didn't have to warrant a second surgery to fix what he quoted were "indestructible sutures."

At the recommendation of a family member, I requested a referral from my surgeon for aquatic…read morephysical therapy, following major spine surgery. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made for my recovery. North County Water & Sports was the first name on the list, and from my very first phone call, I knew I had found the right place. I was warmly welcomed by the staff, met Beth (the owner and lead therapist) for my initial evaluation, and started pool therapy the following Monday. As someone who enjoys swimming, I wasn't prepared for how incredible a warm-water therapy pool would feel. The moment I stepped in, my body relaxed. The warm water relieved pressure on my joints and spine, allowing me to move with an ease I hadn't experienced in years. After living with severe chronic pain from a work-related injury for more than 15 years, I refused to accept chronic pain as my norm, and honestly, I'd forgotten what it felt like to move without constantly guarding my body. Aquatic therapy helped change that. If you've never tried aquatic physical therapy, don't assume it's just water aerobics. Every session is private--just you and the therapist--personalized, closely supervised, and tailored to your specific needs. I've never felt rushed or pushed beyond what my body could safely do. If you remember the movie Cocoon, you'll understand why I affectionately call this "the Cocoon Pool." Every session leaves me feeling stronger, looser, and, most importantly, hopeful. From Michelle and Kathie at the front desk to every therapist on the team, everyone is welcoming, highly knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your recovery. Remember: We don't go to physical therapy because life is easy--we go because we need caring professionals to help us heal. That's exactly what you'll find at North County Water & Sports. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering aquatic physical therapy or even traditional PT. Choosing them was one of the best decisions I've made, and I will always be grateful for the compassion, expertise, and encouragement they have given me throughout my recovery journey.

Great therapists overall. I especially appreciate Della's direct yet intuitive approach. The reason…read moreI'm giving fewer stars is due to the poor customer service from the main office manager. She came across as pushy when scheduling appointments, lacked transparency regarding billing, and seemed more focused on maximizing revenue than prioritizing quality patient care. What was especially disappointing was that when I specifically asked the office manager whether there was another clinic with a similar name closer to my home and workplace, I was told this was the only location & there were no other clinics of a similar name. This turned out not to be true. That experience felt misleading and left a negative impression. This was particularly perplexing when the actual therapists confirmed that I was correct and wondered why I was going to this clinic if there were closer options. It's unfortunate, because the physical therapy team itself genuinely seems to care about their patients and provides thoughtful, effective care.

The last six years I have felt like a human science experiment being bounced around between…read morespecialists in the traditional medical field and prescribed medications that made some of my symptoms worse and added a new ones. But then I met Dr. Pedi and within one appointment found out a few things that my doctors were missing and he used a holistic approach by the supplements that he recommended and I have noticed a huge change in my body! Other than my hormonal medication, I have now been able to get off all of the junk that my doctors put me on before and I finally feel like myself again! One thing I love about going to Dr. Pedi is his individualized care plan curated for you. He does not rush through the appointment, he is very thorough, caring, knowledgeable, and truly does make a connection with you and to get to know you to make recommendations based off of your lifestyle. he also explains your lab work to you better than chat gpt ever could! He truly makes it makes sense so I understand what my body is telling me it needs! thank you to Dr. Pedi and everybody at Oasis health and medicine! I'm so happy to be a patient of yours!

After four years of feeling unwell with high RBC, high hematocrit, high cholesterol, stiff joints,…read moreand persistent brain fog, I felt like no one was truly listening. I was repeatedly told my cholesterol was hereditary and that medication was my only option. Working with Dr. Pedi changed everything. In just three months, my RBC and hematocrit returned to normal, and the cholesterol every other doctor insisted required statins is now completely normal without medication. His approach is thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely personalized. He focused on the root causes instead of dismissing my symptoms. For the first time in years, I feel clear‑headed, energized, and hopeful. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Pedi's expertise and highly recommend him to anyone who feels unheard or stuck with symptoms that never seem to improve. -

I couldn't walk without pain and had…read morebeen diagnosed with both metatarsalgia (shrinkage of the fat pads over the metatarsal bones) and plantar fasciitis. For the first 6 sessions the treatment felt amazing but there was no change in my pain while walking. However, after the 7th session I woke up 2 days later and when I got out of bed I was surprised that my foot pain was significantly less. Over the next 2 sessions I have continued to improve and was able to attend my daughter's wedding last weekend with far less foot pain than I have had in the past. Level 4 PT is very professional but also very personal. The front desk person, Jacquie, is sweet, kind and very easy to have a conversation with. Dr. Dawn is the best not only as a fantastic therapist but as a person and friend. I very much enjoy my sessions and am very happy with my results. So much so that I just signed up for an additional 6 sessions!
