Evolve Physical Therapy Advanced Wellness

I worked with Dr. Kevin Singer, PT DPT and have been very pleased with the results. Kevin created a PT and exercise program for me that immediately improved my long term knee and back problems. Kevin was extremely responsive to my needs and always conducted himself in the highest professional manner. I would use Kevin again without hesitation and will recommend him to friends and family.

My entire family has seen Meghan for physical therapy. Knees, backs, hips, elbows… We are injury prone. And Meghan has gotten us back to health and back to the activities we enjoy. My daughter had a prolonged knee injury and saw two other PTs before Meghan. The difference between the other PTs and Meghan was obvious our very first visit and every visit thereafter. She is thorough, logical, knowledgeable, empathetic, and dependable. She is also an excellent communicator, which is particularly important when you have a pre-​teen in PT.
Evolve has a large gym with lots of equipment and space. Some PT places are really small and don’t have space for proper sports rehab. A number of other services are also available – some of which we’ve also used — laser therapy, acupuncture, exercise classes, massage therapy, etc.
Mario, Evolve’s muscle rehabilitation massage therapist, has also been crucial to our recoveries. He is just as great as Meghan at his job. His focus on the soft tissue aspects of rehab is particularly helpful later in PT, once exercise becomes a central focus. But a lot of people see Mario without being in PT at all because he keeps them OUT of PT in the first place. He is great with kids too, and he has an amazing track record of getting people back to where they never thought they’d be. In my case, for two years, I had given up running because of extreme muscle tightness in my hips, resulting in neck and back pain too. I didn’t really believe it would be possible to get back to running, but I’m running my usual 20 – 30 miles a week again with no tightness/​pain at all thanks to Mario and Meghan. He has really convenient hours, including evenings. It helps to book early because he is popular.
I highly recommend Evolve. I don’t write many Unilocal reviews, but they’ve made enough of a difference in our lives that I wanted to write this one. Oh, and having the dogs greet us from time to time is totally awesome. They are really sweet.

I am so offended! They have dogs running around their offices and I walked in after working with horses and dogs all day. The dog picked up on my scents and started trying to beeline for me. The employee staters stating in a very loud voice «you’re not acting normal! Is that lady bothering you? You’re really acting weird! Are you ok? 3 people in the waiting room. Very uncomfortable. So… He finally gets away and comes over and sniffs to his heats content. Licks me, sniffs some more, licks again, and walks away. Not such a bad person after all I guess! How embarrassing! I will NEVER patronize this business.

Thank you Kate Grace and staff at Evolve! I had a very painful area below my knee that wouldn’t go away. I made an appt with my doc who said he could give me a cortisone shot if it persisted. Not wanting to take that route, I sought out other options. Kate told me what really was going with my knee and carefully explained the problem. She gave me some manipulation and icing techniques to do on my knee in-​between my visits. My knee is back to its olé self. Thank you Evolve… you come highly recommend by me.

The team at KGPT is phenominal. I first was referred to Kate several years ago after a knee surgery. The team there has since treated me for 2 arthroscopic knee surgeries; both knee replacements; a wrist problem; and recently deltoid tendonitus. They are professional, actually care about helping me get better, want to get me back into my golf game and flying as quickly as possible, and are in relationship with me and not just my area of pain. I’ve referred several friends and every one calls me with the same comments. They are great. They are the best!

I was looking for good physical therapy center and based on the Unilocal reviews decided to try this one out. I realize that you have to take these Unilocal reviews with a grain of salt as their not always the most accurate source.
So after having already received treatment at another physical therapy center decided to try this one to compare and see if it was any better. After a lengthy conversation on the telephone booking the appt and asking many questions as to what to expect on my first visit and also what to bring, the appt was booked and was assured that I was ready to receive treatment. Only to find out once I got there that there would be no treatment. The therapist that saw me decided that she was only going to do a 45 min long eval for this visit and no treatment, after I was told completely the opposite by phone. The way she was dressed should have been a dead give away. She was dressed as though she was going to help me with my business plan instead of my aches and pains. I have worked in health care before and know that physical therapists who are actually intent on treating patients typically wear either clinic garb or some type of athletic wear due to the nature of the job. This therapist should clearly stick to running the business functions of the office and leave treating patients to someone who actually likes and wants to do the job. Very rude and complete lack of empathy. You could tell she just really didn’t like the job. Maybe I got the wrong therapist or maybe she was having a bad day but whatever the reason I can not in good conscious recommend this place and I hope this helps others who are in the same search for a therapist. At the very least you can save yourself time and gas unlike I did.
I ended up sticking with the place I went to before. The therapist was empathetic and caring and very professional. Encountered no problems when I arrived and received treatment in my first appt.

Kate Grace treated me for a sprained MCL, which occurred while playing beach volleyball. Kate not only treated me but also educated me on this injury and what I needed to do to ensure recovery. There are no good surgeries for MCLs so thank goodness Kate knew what she was doing. Kate’s expertise instilled confidence and her treatments and guidance resulted in a full recovery.

As a healthcare professional in the physical rehabilitation market, I have been to almost all clinics in San Diego. When it came time for me to get my shoulder worked on I chose Kate Grace Physical Therapy.
I was able to avoid surgery due to very comprehensive treatments, and a home exercise program tailor made for me and my injury.
Kate’s PT’s actually use their hands to get you better and don’t just hook you up to electrical therapy units and walk away.
Kate Grace Physical Therapy has some of the highest standards in San Diego and I would highly recommend this clinic.

I went to Kate Grace Physical Therapy with an extremely painful back problem Mon. Jan. 18^th Julie gave me a wonderful massage and Kate then worked on my problem areas. I’m not saying they are miracle workers, but I’m going to go play volleyball right now. Thanks Girls. You Rock.

David Esposito is the best! Amazing knowledge of the human body and spot on accurate with accupuncture. His body work is subtle, but effective. I had back pain that could not be cured. He has tamed a beast in my back by peeling me like an artichoke! He uses Chinese medicine as his basis (never really sold on it, but I listen), I’m becoming a believer now. David can find something under the radar on your body that you never knew existed. This man is blessed with a passion to learn and practices his knowledge with precision. The staff there is very friendly also.

Ah, Spring… the active season begins. And with it, constant reminders of how old I’m getting. Most recently: «patellofemoral malalignment» (or «runners knee» for you laypeople).
My excellent podiatrist sent me to Kate Grace Physical Therapy in the UTC area for assessment and treatment. I had some reservations, as I’ve been burned by less-​than-​stellar PTs in the past.
The first sign that they were professionals came during my phone call to schedule an appointment. The receptionist was friendly, didn’t rush me, and worked with my fairly rigid schedule to get me in at a decent time.
The building is right off the 5 and just across Nobel. Wee little waiting room covered with framed, signed magazine covers and head-​shots of famous and semi-​famous people who’ve been treated by the staff over the years (some of them in the eighties, by the looks of the haircuts). Magazine selection was excellent; caught up on my automobile rags during the brief wait before each appointment.
My physical therapist was great. Knowledgeable about the most minute details of the knee and leg, and happy to explain to curious me. Good sense of humor as well. She took all kinds of measurements, made me march in place with my eyes closed and had me stand in various positions against a grid on the wall before giving me the lowdown: I needed to stretch more and tape my knee.
Ultimately spent fewer than three weeks being treated, working with various folks on stretches and exercises and learning the subtleties of taping. Back to running pain-​free.
