I first met Sharon at WAVE Hand Therapy in May 2023 after my second hand surgery. After navigating through the Tricare system I was happy to find a professional willing to work with me. Her professionalism, expertise, and wonderful personality made for the best possible experience during my recovery. I was new to the area and wasn't sure what to expect with a new therapist. However, it turned out to be a fantastic match, as Sharon is top-notch at what she does and just as enjoyable of a person to spend the hour with. I highly recommend her and the other professionals at WAVE. Fast forward to 2025, after my shoulder surgery I knew where to go and who to see. Once again Sharon made all the efforts to work with me, my schedule and Tricare, so I can get the best care and recovery I need in order to get healthy. My shoulder is all healed, my range or motion and strength are back. Sharon did it again. Thank you Wave for all you do! read more

Occupational therapist, Sharon Soleimani, is very unprofessional, excessive anger towards VA insurance, mistreating her client by abandoning a client in the middle of the therapy session due to her misinterpreting a VA referral and not willing to follow VA guidelines. I would put zero stars if I could. read more

Excellent clinic n the BEST HAND THERAPY IN TOWN !Muchaneta is extremely well versed in all aspects of Hand Therapy. She kind n patient. You will be with the best San Diego offers!! read more

This review is overdue (finally have a day off). I received MUCH better therapy elsewhere. Sharon's okay BUT she thinks WAY too highly of herself. She MAY be capable BUT she's NOT a nice person! read more

A certified hand specialist, Sharon Soleimani MOT, OTR/L, CHT, is a specialist for testing hand injuries. She is certified in hand therapy and is the best that I have experienced. As a nurse, I am very critical in who provides me the care I need. A certified OT is very different than a CHT. Many hospitals and clinics will send you to an OT or an Assistant to provide physical therapy to your hand. However, you will find a big difference in your care if you have Sharon as your therapist. She will provide the hand therapy herself. certified hand specialist caring for you hand read more

We are so glad that we found Dr. Muchaneta . My mother had a great experience with Dr. Muchaneta when she injured her forearm and wrist after a bad fall last Christmas. After just a few sessions with Dr. Muchaneta, my mother's rotation improved significantly and her pain went away. She was extremely happy with the progress made in such a short amount of time, especially at her age (she is 70 years old). Dr. Muchaneta provided excellent care and attention throughout the entire process, and it was clear that she had a lot of experience and expertise in treating these types of injuries. Her compassionate and professional approach made all the difference, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of medical treatment. Overall, I can't say enough good things about Dr. Muchaneta and the quality of care she provides. read more

Sharon is an amazing provider. With her patient help my arm/wrist has healed beautifully. I had a nasty fall and landed on my arm causing a compound fracture of my arm, necessitating surgeries including metal rods and screws. The wrist break was not initially diagnosed, necessitating a second surgery which lengthened one of the rods to connect the wrist. The one rod, now two pieces connected, was healing crooked. There was a painful bump where the connection was coming out of alignment as it was healing. Sharon's skilled hands straightened it out and the result has made it worth every minute. Thank you, Sharon! Therapy here at Wave is more hands-on than any place I've been for any therapy. That's the biggest, most important thing that assists our healing. I highly recommend Wave Hand Therapy! read more

I provide care and companionship to a woman who at the tender age of (95) fell and injured her precious right hand:( I accompany her to her session(s) with Josh and I have to say that beyond a doubt, he is the absolute BEST! His "hands on" care with such gentle kindness stands above all PT that I have personally and/or professionally experienced. Thank you WAVE!! read more

I've had ongoing challenges relating to receptive motion injuries in conjunction with my profession for many years . After a recent repair to a torn and severely painful major elbow tendon, I was partnered with Josh (Kwon) for both Physical & Occupational Therapy. From day one I realized two things: 1) I would regain the highest and best use possible of my elbow and 2) I'd found a new friend. While any recovery can be challenging & PT wouldn't be considered fun, Josh's expertise and knowledge for regaining movement, use and strength is top notch. His variations of common items used for therapy made it simple to grasp while gently pushing me towards allowing my body to heal with natural movements. At each appointment he was on-time, "present and attentive" for my specific session, with a vision for my healing. Each visit allowed me to graduate gradually towards a greater range of use and motion, which had become nearly obsolete. Josh has an approachable and magnetic personality which made the time enjoyable and go by super fast. I was excited to hear that Josh and his partner Sharon had opened Wave Hand Therapy. I had a chance to visit the new office and the entire set up from Reception to the Therapy Center is beautiful. I'd highly recommend Josh and his team for any hand or elbow therapy, honestly there isn't anyone else I'd see nor recommend read more

Joshua is a miracle worker! I had trouble with my hand/wrist for months and he most definitely knows what he's doing. Knew exactly what exercises and trigger points to work on. Worth every penny! Highly recommend to see him for any upper body issue read more

I am a current patient of Joshua Kwon and have been for the last several months, following him from his last location to this nice new one. He is truly a miracle worker, and willing to go the extra mile for his patients. I broke my arm in October of 2018 and had to have surgery two weeks later. I was a pretty difficult case, suffering nerve damage and in a lot of pain! Eventually, his hard work and instruction for the work I did on my own time was what ultimately took the nerve pain away and brought back the use of my wrist and hand. Josh has been there for me through each step of my recovery process, knowing when to push me harder and when to ease back when it was to much. I love the new location, the convenience of getting there and the ample parking, and yes, I'm one of those people that stresses over parking! Both Josh and Sharon have been nothing but professional and truly care about their patients. They both go beyond what is required of them, and it shows. I am proof of that! I'm always received with a kind smile and a warm welcome from both of them as I enter the door, and always feel better by the time I'm walking out then I did walking in. I would highly recommend going to them. I promise, you will not be disappointed! Therapy is a journey, but it is one best taken with these two! read more

Here's the deal, I have been to a few hand therapists due to an injury prior to surgery. After having surgery on a trigger release I was pointed in the direction of Wave Hand Therapy. Like anyone I was nervous to start over with someone new because I hadn't seen any progress with the others. Little did I know, Sharon specializes in hand therapy and this experience would be so much better. Not only does Sharon focus on the injury, the scar tissue, and range of motion but she focusses on the why and how. I had no clue one tiny movement in my thumb connected to so many muscles up my arm. Not only did Sharon take the time to explain this but she focussed on these first, rather than forcing me into exercises on the first and second meeting. I was so relieved because I didn't want to walk away in pain after already dealing with the pain of surgery/recovery. I also think it's important to note that Sharon takes the time to listen to you and actually hear you and she doesn't belittle you. I cannot tell you how often I have felt that with this particular injury -since it's "just a thumb." If you are reading this in search of a therapist and you have a choice, choose Sharon. If you are coming here because insurance chose for you, be grateful that they made such a great choice! I still have sessions with Sharon to finish out the therapy I am in now, but this is how confident I am about my experience thus far! That's why I am sharing it with you today. Incase you weren't aware Yelp hides reviews in a "not recommended" section for each business. These reviews moved are selected by a machine... If you look at the section for this business those reviews are ALL 5 star and there is NO reason they should be down there! So I am here doing my review again in my attempt to fix the issue. I don't care if it's too positive. My truth is my truth and I won't allow Yelp to mute me!! read more

I am a new patient of Josh's and I just wanted to say how impressed I was with his knowledge about everything and I felt confident placing my care with this office. They are doing construction around the office but there are multiple signs to help guide you with no problems. I also want to say what a joy, Leanne, the front desk receptionist is. She is so nice and helpful, as well as such a positive vibe that's refreshing to see in a doctor's office. I'm excited to come in for my next appointment this week. read more

Recently took a bad fall & injured both my shoulder & hand. My Orthopedic referred Wave Hand Therapy for rehab. The owners & staff have been great! Sharon(Owner/Therapist) has been extremely helpful with my recovery & healing. read more

I'm a professional artist so i depend on my painting hand not only for my happiness but also for my livelihood. My potential surgeon recommended that i see Josh at Wave before we pursued the possibility of surgery and I'm so glad that he did. After several sessions i am so impressed with Josh's professionalism & thoroughness and I'm more than pleased with my progress. He is patient and kind and so knowledgeable. He explained what I could realistically expect and he exceeded that with my therapy. I recommend him and his practice whole -heartedly. Thank you Josh and everyone on your team. read more

Sharon and Josh are great! I received excellent care while working with Sharon and am feeling better due to her professional help. I highly recommend Wave Hand Therapy if looking for fantastic personal care from the reception desk to the massage table. read more

I have been a patient at Wave Hand Therapy for a short while now and have seen great results after only a few sessions! Sharon took the time to listen to my complaints, then explained her therapy techniques and how they would benefit me! Despite my long drive to their office, I am happy to have been referred to this practice ! read more

I have only wonderful things to say about Wave Hand and my therapist Sharon. I'm a current patient who came in with pretty limited use of my hand/thumb after a trigger release surgery. Sharon definitely knows what's she's doing because in a very short time I have had wonderful results. My range of motion and pain have both improved considerably as well as an impressive reduction in scar tissue. They have a wide range of equipment and clearly spared no expense when they opened the clinic. They are all very professional and the friendliest staff you'll ever meet. I'm actually going to be sad when I don't need to go anymore :) read more

I highly recommend wave hand therapy!!! They are truly experts and help me after a horrible accident with displaced and broken radius and ulna . Josh is amazing and I made a full recovery. I'm not sure what my outcome would have been if I went somewhere else . They are extremely knowledgeable and professional, they also care about you! Thank you for helping me get my life back!!! read more

I only had 6 weeks with Sharon but my pain went from indescribably painful to nonexistent. I was worried that with my career, being 95% at a computer, was soon over with the pain I was feeling. I'm so happy I found her, she is not only an amazing physical therapist but also my new favorite person. We felt like instant friends and I never had to worry about my hand because she has a way of making you feel so comfortable and in the right hands. Mahalo again Sharon. read more

I can only say that Josh is an amazing Hand Therapist, he is a professional, dedicated to the plans and course of treatment of my hand injury and what is paramount to me as my choice certified hand therapist. I have been to other therapists but his approach, knowledge and teaching not just treating me how to recover from my hand injury has been by far superb. If you want a hand therapist who other therapist will judge themselves against, then this is the place. Josh is professional, organized with an appropriate treatment plan and course of treatment that has been in my best interest. Everything is always clean there too! Thank you Josh very much for all you do!! read more

Having just completed 6 weeks of hand therapy (2 sessions per week) after surgery for a broken wrist, I want to give highest kudos to Wave Hand Therapy for their excellent care and results achieved! With Josh's expertise and guidance, each session incrementally restored my wrist flexibility and hand strength to full functionality. Josh was very knowledgeable, personable, and encouraging, making each session an actually pleasant experience without any undue discomfort or stress. (Who wudda thought P/T could be pleasant??) Customer service was also exceptional - their receptionist/scheduler was a joy to work with, always friendly, welcoming, and efficient - AND appointments started and ended right on time (yay!). I highly recommend Wave Hand Therapy - they are outstanding! read more

Sharon is the BEST. Not only is she very knowledgeable in her profession, she is extremely caring and truly wants the best for her patients. I had surgery on my left ring finger due to a football injury, and was still having problems going through rehab. Sharon was there with me every step of the way. I potentially needed to have a second surgery, and Sharon accompanied me to the doctors office to give my doctor an update on how my finger was doing. The doctor was running behind, and Sharon waited with me in the waiting room for OVER AN HOUR to make sure she personally gave my doctor a proper update on my finger. On top of Sharon truly caring about her patients, she was able to work miracles on my finger. After surgery, I was barely able to move my finger at all. Sharon worked with me twice a week, on top of giving me specific exercises to do at home. At one point during rehab, I was going on a family vacation and I was going out of the country for 2 weeks. To make up for lost rehab time, Sharon gave me a specific list of exercises I could do while on the plane and while traveling. My finger saw drastic improvement over my time rehabbing at Wave Hand Therapy, and I am so grateful for everything Sharon did. Rehab can be a brutal process, but Sharon was able to turn it into a fun experience. I looked forward to my rehab sessions, as they were always filled with engaging stories and jokes. At some points, rehab was quite painful but Sharon knew exactly when to keep pushing me or when I needed to pull back. If you are looking for hand therapy, this is the place to go! read more

I was seen by Josh Kwon for treatment of my right middle finger after breaking it. the plan that he put me on was great. I saw improvement in flexibility and strength right away. I was very pleased with how well they helped me and showed real concern for my improvement. Thank you to both Josh and Sharon for there great work. read more

I have been seeing Josh, a certified a hand therapist, before and after bilateral carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel surgeries. I've never seen an OT or a PT with so much knowledge and understanding of how the human body works. From the start, he listened intently, treated the pain, and aimed to completely restore the function of my hands, wrists, and elbows. When complications arose from the radiating pain, he managed to "unlock" my shoulders. If you are looking for a highly qualified CHT who will rehabilitate you and respect you, then give Josh a call at Wave Hand Therapy. read more

I was sent to Wave Hand Therapy during the course of treatment for a work injury. I had a great experience there. Everyone from the receptionist to the hand therapists were professional, upbeat and on the ball. I worked with Sharon twice a week over several months and it made a huge improvement in my condition. She was incredibly knowledgeable and kept my treatment varied and challenging so I didn't plateau. I've returned to normal activities earlier than expected, I can't recommend Sharon and WHT enough! read more

Sharon is amazing! I have issues with tennis elbow that was caused by computer usage. Sharon knew exactly how to treat this and I am halfway through my therapy with significant relief. She has a wonderful, upbeat way of communicating with clients that isn't condescending or unrealistic. Also have to give a shout out to Josh, who helped me get setup at Wave. I have seen him work with patients and he is just as great as Sharon! read more

Best place for real therapy that actually helps and solves hand arm and shoulder issues. Highly recommend.

Josh is an exceptional hand therapist! He was knowledgeable, personable, & empathetic to all of my aches and pains throughout treatment. He was determined to give me the best care possible. Most importantly, after treatment I felt confident and ready to go back to work. If you are looking for a caring and committed professional, look no further! read more
