Absolute worst experience I've ever had with a doctor in my life. Unless you want to deal with the…read moremost incompetent group of individuals, I wouldn't recommend this cesspool of an office to anyone. I drove half an hour to my appointment just to be told I couldn't be seen because they don't accept my SECONDARY insurance. They take my primary insurance (which, mind you, I've never had an issue with--it's Blue Cross Blue Shield), but since my secondary is Medi-Cal, they refused to see me--even when I suggested removing that insurance and paying whatever fees were needed out of pocket. My issue isn't even that they don't take my insurance; it's that they didn't ask for it prior to my appointment, so I would have known not to waste an hour of my life on this sad excuse for a doctor's office . By the way, this is the first bad review I've ever left in my life, but I had to warn anyone who sees this for my own sanity...

My Dr. referred me for knee injections on 5/27/25. I saw the Orthopedist on 5/28/25, & they said…read morethat they would submit it to my insurance. After 51 days & 30 phone calls, I finally was able to schedule the procedure. United Health Care was great. They even called the Drs. office because they weren't getting a referral. If it wasn't for Stacy at Hoag authorization dept. I'm sure I would have given up. She made calls & finally got results. On 8/27/25 I finished the 3 appointments. For the first 2 appointments I waited 45 minutes, for the 3rd appointment I waited 65 minutes to get in to see the Dr. I had this procedure done in 2017 & everything went well. What is the problem with Newport Orthopedic Institute now?

I went to 2 orthos and another PT without much help, and almost gave up and resorted to getting a shot. Good thing I didn't (!!) and found Dr. Kara Lowe at Southland.

I'm now almost down to zero pain and am playing pain-free again!

I have never been to a chiropractor before but my entire family goes to Dr. Erickson so I decided…read moreto try it out as I have a year long uncomfortable but not super painful shoulder pinch. I finally get the hype! Dr. Erikson is SUPER knowledgeable and I literally felt and saw immediate results which was shocking. We all know shoulder injuries are complex because of all the muscles in the shoulders but he almost knew immediately what the issue was and made me laugh through the most painful parts (which was really minimal if I'm being honest). He also did an overall check and found that my back is also not in mint condition as I can see by one of my legs being shorter than the other. The way that he explained and showed what was going on and what he's trying to do made me feel so comfortable for my first adjustment. And about that massage... well the massage was DEEP - this is not your relaxing spa day but it is healing! Another thing I value about this office, aside from it being SUPER clean, is that they do not push you to spend your money. Yes, you have to pay for your treatment but there is no pressure to come more than you want to even if the Doctor recommends more. This makes me trust them even more so I'm happy to call Dr. Erikson my doctor that is going to see me through recovery! I can't wait to give an update once I'm further along in care. Thank you to Dr. Erikson and the entire team for the amazing experience!

Dr. Lin and Dr. Park Over the summer of 2025, I was…read moreassaulted. Among the injuries I sustained, the most significant were skull base fractures and fractures of my orbit, which led the emergency doctors to diagnose me with traumatic optic neuropathy. After consultations with maxillofacial specialists and ophthalmologists, I was told I was legally blind, 20/230, and that this was now my life. Devastated, I reached out to Dr. Lin who was highly referred by a longtime family friend. She felt he and his team should see me and offer other opinions. While Western medicine may refer to Dr. Lin as a "physical therapist," I don't think that language fully defines what he does. At our first meeting, he was gentle, attentive, and deeply aware of my condition. His method is difficult for me to fully articulate, but it was unlike anything the physicians I had seen before had provided. Dr. Lin created a treatment plan in collaboration with his in-house acupuncturist, Dr. Park, and the two of them treated me in concert. I visited them about once a month. Dr. Park performed acupuncture targeting specific hemispheres they agreed would be beneficial, while Dr. Lin used manual techniques, pressing, pulling, and adjusting different parts of my face and body. One moment stands out clearly in my memory. As Dr. Park had acupuncture needles placed in the points she selected, Dr. Lin pressed a section of my face under my eye with significant pressure. The instant he released, my nasal passage cleared dramatically. I had been so focused on my vision that I ignored other parts of my body that also needed attention. This is what impressed me most: their understanding of the interconnectedness of the human body, and the way each system affects the next. Even though I came in focused on a single issue, they recognized that other problems could be developing or stagnating and that treating one area would likely set off a domino effect. They addressed everything collectively rather than isolating one symptom. Dr. Park also gave me homework: changes to my diet, foods to avoid, preferred cooking methods, and even the temperature of liquids I should consume. Detailed instructions that had never been offered nor had I considered. Western medicine had only offered me chemical treatments or surgeries to remove or implant. Dr. Lin was one of the few who was relieved I had not had a surgery and was not taking medication. In my most desperate moment, when the reality of vision loss was fresh and overwhelming, they helped keep hope alive. I am happy to say that I have since improved to 20/40 vision. Slowly, every day I feel a little better. I am not claiming that Dr. Park and Dr. Lin performed miracles. What I do believe is that the treatment they provided stimulated something meaningful in my recovery. Maybe I would have healed to this extent without them, maybe not. But I wholeheartedly feel that their treatment encouraged my body to heal itself. I am four months removed from the incident, I have my vision back and I feel great. Recovery is not complete, but I am in a place now that my Ophthalmologist told me never to expect. Thank you to both Dr. Lin and Dr. Park. I could not be more grateful.

Madi does an amazing job explaining the "why" behind my plan, which really helps me stay motivated and confident in the process. Andrew brings positivity to every session and knows exactly how to push just enough while still making sure I'm safe and comfortable. What really stands out is how personalized the care feels. They take the time to listen, adjust, and make sure I'm improving each visit. The whole environment is positive and encouraging, which makes a huge difference when working through recovery. If you are looking for a physical therapist business that truly cares and know what they're doing, I highly recommend In Motion OC.

I am an active runner and I was starting to train for the Athens Marathon in Greece and was dealing with a severe hammy/glue issue. It was hard to get through 1-3 miles before my sessions started. I tried everything to strengthen and fix it on my own but nothing would work. I came to Kero feeling hopeless and defeated and knew I really wanted to compete in the marathon this year. Within a month I was hitting my 10 mile runs with much less strain. By month 2 I was gaining strength and endurance with less pain and over all progress. Month 3 and 4 were absolutely amazing with the progress we made. I was training and enjoying my runs, if anything would act up Kero would always get me back in check and on the run again. His ability to find the root of the problem, execute a plan, and fix is godly. He is gifed absolutely but I had to put in the work also with my PT to make the full circle. The end story was one for the books, I completed my marathon in 4:45 and this is not an easy course! I 100% recommend Kero for healing and an overall welcoming comfortable experience!

I was first referred to Dr. Labovitch in 2009 when I was 68 y.o., for a torn rotator cuff and a…read morefractured greater tuberosity (bone) from an ice-skating accident. My goal was to regain 100% range of motion so I could resume my normal activities including my exercise regimen comprising dumbbells and chinning bar. I had spoken to a neighbor older than me who had a torn rotator cuff repaired and could not reach up much above her shoulder. That was not for me. I knew that young people and sports people required 100% restoration while old people probably did not care as much. My research of Dr. Labovitch revealed that he was a sports medicine physician. Sports people with an injury don't want to have any limitations after treatment, so that was the best sign that Dr. Labovitch was the orthopedic surgeon for me. When I went to his office, I gained my ultimate confidence when his waiting room was filled mostly with young people. My surgery was successful, and although it took a bit (maybe 9 months) of expected rehab effort on my part, done partly at home, I regained 100% range of motion, and my arm and shoulder felt no different from the way it was before my accident. I had several subsequent visits to Dr. Labovitch for different issues, and each time his diagnosis was perfect and my recovery complete and uneventful. When requiring PT I always went to California Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy at 36 Mauchly in Irvine, run by Anthony Bisaccia, who is very competent, has a great team, and is wonderful to work with.

The technician that did the X Ray was a young woman who did not give me a lead protection cover for my body. I asked her if I needed one and she said "No, you used to need one, but these days the machines are more advanced". But I chose to ask for one anyway. I just wanted to post this review because I don't think what I was told was correct. So the office manager should make sure their staff is protecting their patients during every X Ray. This is why I gave only a 2 Star rating. But they are good and Dr Labovitch is knowledgeable and nice.
