I just completed 7 sessions at the 2650 Camino Del Rio North location.
I had been referred due to a painful meniscus tear in my right knee, and
I was hoping to avoid arthroscopic surgery. I was asked to rate my pain
on a scale of 1 to 10 at the beginning, and I remember saying "7". Now
I am definitely a "1" and sometimes even less! I am very stingy with my
ratings on Yelp, but I can't praise Niels enough. He is friendly, professional,
knowledgeable and enjoys interacting with patients, giving as much
information/demonstration as is wanted. Bottom line: NO SURGERY

My strong recommendation is DO NOT do physical therapy here. I have been to a lot of locations and the physical therapist was BAD. I came here early in 2021, where physical therapists forced movement which serves pain that night including able to sleep. The physical therapist as well said I had no tears in the joint. This was the opposite of my own testing (I been trained by very well known orthopedic surgeons to evaluate knee and shoulders due to coaching) and my orthopedic surgeon diagnosis which she was aware off
I changed Physical therapy locations ASAP but end up having surgery.

Brandon Irons, director of Physical Therapy at PRN in this Hillcrest location, runs an excellent physical therapy operation! The other physical therapists are also dedicated to getting results and it shows. I worked with Kate, Lilly, Carrie, and Daisy also and they all brought some special angle to the experience. The whole studio is intimate, professional and friendly. Even when they are busy, you will receive excellent one-on-one therapy and they take a genuine interest in your progress.

Each therapist contributes something different to your experience. For example, Carrie was really good

My orthopaedic/spine surgeon sent me to PRN to strengthen my core. At the time the pain level was a 10 and I couldn't turn over in bed nor stand up without intolerable pain due to an accident. The PRN I went to was in Hillcrest across from Scripps Mercy Hospital. I was approved six sessions. Tamara was my PT and by the second session, I was able to turn over with little pain. I'd say it was down to a 5 from a 10. I meticulously followed the exercises at home and by the 4th session, I was almost back to normal. I have one session left and I'm another person thanks to PRN and

I would have begun my treatment with them but the front desk employees are not competent at all. They made it frustrating for me to even schedule and tounderstand how much I'd be paying through insurance benefits. It seems like there was a miscommunication between them and they unprofessional. Clearly if you cannot make it past a competent a scheduling and insurance advocates for the business, it speaks on the rest of the company.

After this experience and confirming the type of place this is through other real reviews...I decided that I'll be going somewhere else.

I look forward to my appt.s here. The clinic director, Brandon, is educated and very experienced; he listens carefully to your problems, analyzes the issues, and provides specialized therapy for your particular problem. My sessions have been very beneficial; his staff is very experienced, warm and personable; the front desk ladies are always efficient and helpful. It's a 5 star team there on 4th avenue.

I have premier PPO, my primary UCSD referred me to 3 different places to check out. Since this location is closest to me, I thought I would check them out. Place was small and I felt I was at a used car lot. I have gone to other physical therapy places that were small and good. Good meaning I know what to look for and what their MO is. Anyhow, they charged me $125 out of pocket and said the rest would be covered by my insurance. Anyhow, I am getting a bill for $25, not sure if they have the brains to send a bill to my insurance. I only went to them once for my initial consult and so thankful

This is by far the best physical therapy clinic and treatment I've ever experienced. The staff are very friendly and respectful of the clients from the first telephone contact, to each of my visits. My therapist, Amy, is helping me rehab a persisting SI joint problem and after only 2 visits the condition is improving! She is both knowledgeable and competent. Also, a deep bow of respect for supporting staff person Daysi!
If you have a choice of PT clinics in the Hillcrest area, this a great one. Best part? They know what they are doing!
Thanks PRN!

I love this place and look forward to going to my appointments. Leslie is so amazing! I enjoy talking with her and learning from her. She has truly helped me to heal my injury and I feel optimistic for the first time. I also had Kate once and she was fantastic as well. I love how they help me learn new exercises catered to my rehabilitation and that they change the exercises with continued progress. Carrie and Edward have helped me so much with the exercises and push me to have proper posture.
Another incredible thing about this place is the front desk is great!! That never happens, but Rosa does

This is a review for PRN La Jolla. The place is the best. Rehabbed me back from an Achilles tear. I chose non surgical route, and am impressed with the results with early functional rehab. Paul is my therapist and he is amazing. I've met with him weekly for a year and the progress is tremendous. Staff are awesome, Vanessa and Shawnee are always super nice, welcoming, and responsive. Definitely would recommend PRN to everyone in need of PT.

PRN Physical Therapy is one of the best I have ever been to. They have been treating me for nearly two years. I have a rare muscle disease and I need physical therapy to continue to be mobile. The team at this facility is highly professional and committed to providing the best healthcare for patients. I strongly disagree with the previous yelps that gave low ratings. PRN is a busy facility but never rude. I have been given excellent care. I want to personally thank my PT, Leslie; my PTA Della and their assistants, Kerri, Bianca and Edward. Their care and kindness are deeply appreciated

Their front desk people should go back to school or Mc'Donalds or something.
Dummer than dirt.

They are even worse on the phone.
Making an appointment is painful.
Asking a question is torture.

My progress had been greatly diminished due to their horrible scheduling and lack of continuity .

Very disappointed.

Money grubbers. Ineffective treatment.

Not bad enough that they misdiagnosed the source of my pain, provided me with "treatment" that was therefore useless, and had me pay to do exercises that were both unnecessary and not conducive to healing, they also provided what I think was an intentionally inaccurate estimate of how much I owed (net of insurance) when I asked how much it was costing me. Prior to leaving, the estimate of what I owed was $100. Realizing that their "therapy" was providing no benefit, I stopped going immediately after receiving that estimate. One month

I was referred by my doctor. I was very disappointed in this place. I explained my problems and told the PT what my goals were. She pretty much ignored what I said. I was sore for 3 days after one session and could do her home exercises for only 5 minutes before I was out of breath. I had wanted to work on my balance and stamina, not calisthenics. I got a phone call from them a week later telling me I had missed an appointment. They had the date wrong--it was for the following week. I cancelled that appointment and haven't been back. Then they sent me a bill for $20 but I'm

I admit it, I can lift like a bro (not a good thing). Which means on occasion, my technique may not be the best. When that happens, I get sprains and strains...usually at a level that is pretty mild and which I can self treat and heal. However, when I injure my back or neck - those aren't areas I play around with.

I tweaked my neck last week and it was not healing in a matter that I had hoped for so that's when PRN PT came into play. I called them for a same day appointment and they were able to place me without an issue. The physical therapists (Christy and Victoria) are quite knowledgeable

G and Victoria are the best. I was never really a fan of PT before because it never worked. That's not the case at PRN..

I've been going for a few months and I'm already so much better. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had dealt with another PT office previously and did not have a good experience at all. Luckily (for me) I tried out this office on a whim because it was closer to my house.

What a difference!! They have been nothing but professional and Tracy has been an absolute godsend for my pain management and relief. She listens carefully and keeps good records of my progress, as well as giving me homework and guidance for continuing care on my own. I'm amazed how many people Tracy and her assistants can juggle without leaving anyone to their own devices.

This is a wonderful facility, I would recommend

This place is heads and tails above other PT places I've been to! Quite modern, lots of staff and varied modalities.

Tracy is a very personable PT director and I'm happy to have her as my therapist. She has taught me a lot. Caring and compassionate too.

All of her assistants are very sharp and keep things moving whilst multi tasking several patients at a time.

I like that Tracy gave me exercises to do at home too. Now I just have to be more consistent in doing them!

They also work with your insurance to get you more treatments if needed. I like this place.

Only downside is the
