    I started Physical Therapy at PRN La Mesa in March, because after spinal cord surgery last year,…read morethe finger tips in my right hand were completely numb with no tactile sensation. The Neurosurgeon wanted to do more surgery to try and relive the symptoms. A nerve conductive study gave a diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel. I asked for a referral to PT before considering another surgery. At 74, surgery risks increase. My Physical therapist was Pablo Pelayo. After my initial interview, we both agreed that my symptoms were not typical of Carpal Tunnel. After 5 visits, I was elated to find I was getting sensation back in my fingers. This was HUGE!!. After more than a year I finally got sensation back, without surgery. Pablo's approach was phenomenal.We continued to work for a total of 16 visits. Now I have 75-80% feeling and tactile sensation back. I could not be more appreciative or grateful for having the full use of my right hand again. Pablo and the entire staff at PRN La Mesa, treat all their patients with dignity, respect and genuine concern for getting the best possible results.

After checking in, the receptionist told me she needed to use the restroom and walked away. I later realized she had actually gone to speak with the office manager. When she returned, she informed me that the office manager said I could not be seen that day. I explained that I had been treated at this same location in November without any issues. She responded by saying I "shouldn't have been seen in November because they didn't get paid." However, I have the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) showing that the claim was paid. I expressed my concern that this was an urgent care facility and that I was being refused care. I was simply told that I could not be seen there. The entire interaction was disappointing. I found the staff to be rude, unprofessional, and unwilling to communicate respectfully or resolve what appeared to be a misunderstanding. Based on this experience, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this facility to others. I will not be returning and would not recommend this location based on my experience.

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

He will spend quality time with you and make sure that you understand and answer all questions. His kindness goes beyond words. I recently on May 18 had a shoulder replacement that was unexpected. His beside manner was beyond words. To say the least, I was not looking forward to the surgery, and he put me at ease. I felt safe and knew he was going to do his BEST!! Our medical family as well as myself will be referring to Dr. Rynning. In fact, I already have sent several his way. Marlene, runs the office in a seamless manner. She is organized and structured. She stays on top of everything that needs to be in place. Christine, also was on top of the surgery dates and times. Both Marlene and Christine, made sure that the PT felt they could call for any questions or concerns. I am currently going into my 6th week and following the instructions and directions along with PT. I am seeing results. The Doctor and team gave 4 pages of details of where I should be with my rehab. What more can I say except This is the only Doc - Surgeon to go too! The BEST of the BEST!!!

Dr. Hanson stands out in that environment. Many great surgeons are prima donnas. Not Dr. Hanson. He's very personable. I had both hips replaced as well as my left knee, over an 8 month period. All three went exceptionally well. According to two different physical therapists, these three joint replacement were each at the very high end of surgical quality and outstanding recovery. I'm an very pleased and very thankful.

I'm going to write a short book here, because it seems to be the only way to communicate how much I appreciate Dr. Hanson, and why. Over the years, I had met with nearly a dozen orthopaedists, gotten relief from various injections, looked at all manner of edge-therapies, had three conservative surgeries on the knee, lived with the outcomes, and eventually was advised to go ahead and get the replacement. Along the way, I observed the bedside manner of all of these doctors, noting that joint-replacement specialists, like many specialists, are, perhaps because of their training and lofty intellect, not as interested in patient communication as are most GP's. Some of them, I think, interact best with patients who are... unconscious. After doing a good deal of asking around, I was lucky to be referred to Dr. Peter Hanson at Grossmont Orthopaedic. His credentials were unbeatable, and his ratings on Yelp and elsewhere were remarkable. So, I timed my appointment with him to also satisfy my desire for a second opinion. My experience with Dr. Hanson at that appointment was so excellent that, although he truly intended only to offer a second opinion, I was nearly ready to ask him to perform the procedure himself. For a leading medical specialist, Dr. Hanson is astonishingly low-key and patient. Very approachable yes, but it's more than that. He's more like my trusted old friend taking care of me. Anyway, after yet another rushed, slightly contentious session with my other (busy, up-and-coming rockstar) specialist, I had had enough and scheduled my surgery instead with Dr. Hanson in January. On surgery day, he was a comfort both before and after the procedure. Now in my 6th week of recovery, I am delighted that I chose Dr. Hanson to perform my surgery. Although the recovery requires substantial effort, physical therapy, and some pain tolerance, my knee gets better each day. In closing, if you are lucky enough to get Peter Hanson as your joint replacement surgeon, you are in exceptionally fine hands. I cannot recommend him to you highly enough.
