    This review is long overdue! After a sudden onset of neck and shoulder pain, my sports medicine…read moredoctor referred me to physical therapy, and I am so incredibly glad I found West Bay Sports Medicine. Joey (Joseph Livelo) was my physical therapist, and he was absolutely amazing in guiding my healing journey. Beyond being highly knowledgeable, personable, and easy-going, Joey takes a wonderfully pragmatic approach to care. He designed a program with exercises that were easy for me to stick to, thoughtfully evolving the routine as I progressed to edge me closer to full recovery. I genuinely looked forward to our weekly sessions! It has now been four months since my last visit, and I still do a set of the exercises Joey gave me every single morning to maintain my physical well-being. Beyond the excellent care from Joey, every single person I interacted with at the West Bay Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation Center was super nice and welcoming. As an added bonus, the office has its own parking lot, making visits completely stress-free. If I ever need physical therapy again in the future, I would return to West Bay Sports Medicine in a heartbeat. I highly recommend them!

    Terrible experience. This clinic operates like a factory, treating patients like numbers rather…read morethan people. I arrived 30 minutes early for my first appointment, hoping they might accommodate me, but they were understandably busy. However, once my scheduled appointment time arrived, I was forced to wait an additional hour before being seen. During this 1.5-hour ordeal, I was shuffled between various rooms for no apparent reason, all while watching at least 15 other patients being cycled through to see the same doctor. Even worse, patients who arrived long after me were seen first. When I questioned the doctor about the delay, he offered a standard apology, claiming there was an "emergency." To make matters worse, the facility looks nothing like the pictures online. The actual clinic is flimsy, poorly maintained, and offers zero privacy--you can easily overhear other patients' confidential conversations. The entire operation feels like a money-driven hustle. Save your time and go elsewhere. Avoid this place at all cost!

I went to him for trigger point injections and acupuncture. I had sciatica which is terrible and he helped me improve with that as well. I also had issues with my hand and wrist for almost a year and nothing I was trying was working with other Dr.s. - I asked Dr Chen if he could help and we did acupuncture and PRP and within 3-4 weeks I was painting and playing basketball again! I have Celiacs too and now we're focusing on this. Appreciate what you do and I've recommend him to plenty of people and will continue to do so!

My sister highly recommended Dr. Dirk who performed shoulder surgery on her 10 years prior with great success. Many thanks to his office staff for squeezing me in during this ordeal. Dr. Dirk surprised me. After spending time moving my shoulder, he determined that I did not need an x-ray or MRI. He was certain I didn't need surgery. He asked me to follow his instructions carefully, and in 1 day, the pain will lesson, without taking anything strong than Advil and Tylenol. I thought he was crazy! It is now a week later, I've had my follow-up appointment, and I can't thank him enough for his expert assessment and guidance. Thank you Dr. Dirk!!!

He fully explained to me the particulars of my injury and what to expect from surgery and recovery.

I followed his instructions to the letter for my recovery and I'm very happy to report that I'm back to 100%.

I would definitely go back to his practice for general movement concerns, as well as Active Release Therapy in the future!

    Went in for a 3-week old painful leg muscle injury around the hip that did not seem to be healing…read more MD looked at my old provided hip scans from elsewhere and did a very minimal exam, asking me to sit on the exam table, raise my legs and moved them left and right one time. Then he told me he wanted to get an x-ray, which didn't seem to make a lot of sense for a muscle injury. Coincidentally, the MD owns an x-ray machine. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail? After the x-ray, which showed nothing different than previous MRI's provided him, he tells me probably a sprain or strain, to rest for one month and c/b for a new appointment if still not better. Gee...

Yes, tennis elbow does not sound serious, but they do have a fancy name for it and the pain is substantial. Dr. Hazelrig gave me a cortisone shot, which was not too comfortable. Once I recovered from my cortisone flareup, my elbow felt brand new. Unfortunately, my elbow decided to act up and the tennis elbow pain returned. Reluctant to get another shot, Dr. Hazelrig suggested laser treatment. He was going to send me off sight for the service but realized my medical insurance would not cover it. I think he felt sorry for me, so he decided to laser me up in his office. There has not been enough time passed in order to know if the lazier works, but I do appreciate Dr. Hazelrig's efforts and the fact he administered a treatment he felt would help me. These are the things I like: 1-Dr. Hazelrig 2-his staff 3-the fact it is a one stop shop (x-rays and all) 4-fast and friendly service 5-communication From my past experiences, I find it difficult to find a doctor I like. Dr. Hazelrig has changed that for me.
