I can’t recommend Jennifer enough! She has been an incredible physical therapist, helping me recover from my shoulder issues with expertise and genuine care. From day one, she took the time to understand my concerns and created a personalized treatment plan that made a real difference. Her knowledge is impressive, and she explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. Beyond that, she’s so caring and supportive, always making sure I feel comfortable and motivated throughout my recovery. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate PT, Jennifer is the best!

I went to this clinic with chronic back pain, and I had an amazing experience overall. Everyone from the front desk to the support staff was purely amazing. The pt I worked with was really great at her job, and was incredibly knowledgeable about different exercises to do for my pain. I’ve been to a lot of clinics in the la area and this was definitely the best one I’ve been to. I would absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone I know. From now on this will be the only clinic I use in the la area. First class and 5 stars in every way shape and form.

I have had 2 physical therapy sessions at Evolution Physical Therapy & Fitness to recover upper arm movement after I broke my upper arm. My physical therapist is Anna Lee, and she is wonderful and very responsive to my needs. The sessions and exercises to target my needs have been very good, and with a few more sessions, hopefully I will regain full upper are movement. I highly recommend Anna Lee.

Evolution PT did wonders for my concussion recovery. Lindsay and Carole dedicated so much effort into helping me navigate that challenging time, treating my recovery with care and thoroughness. They approached it as a problem to be solved and carefully monitored my progress. I wouldn't hesitate to go back with any future issues!

Overuse injuries are a fact of life for many performance athletes, and I’m incredibly grateful to have had Carole by my side throughout my training journey. I can’t recommend her and the whole team at Evolution PT enough! From the very beginning, she took the time to ask thorough questions and truly listen to my concerns, ensuring that every session was tailored to my specific needs and progress. Her ability to fine-tune my treatment helped me navigate a rigorous training schedule and a demanding Ironman race calendar—all without the need for surgery.

I don’t know if I could have gotten through it without her thoughtful support and encouragement every step of the way. Thankfully, I’ll never have to find out. I was able to stay strong, recover effectively, and achieve my goals—and I feel immense gratitude towards her and the entire team.

This is my first time doing PT and Carole Gong has been great. She is very patient, friendly and has the best hands! She has been helping me with my occipital headaches.

Overall everyone has been very nice! I totally recommend the place.

had spine surgery July 2nd, 2024. I’m 36 and had a disc replacement of my L4-5 and Spinal Fusion of my L5-S1. At my 2 week post op I was told that my implant had moved 1mm. At my 6 week post op the implant hadn’t moved anymore and I was cleared to start physical therapy at 8 weeks.

On August 8th I scheduled my first visit via email. We confirmed for August 28th at 11:00am. I did all the paperwork in advance. I never received a confirmation call or email, so I sent an email on August 27th confirming my visit on the 28th. I received an email back promptly saying we were confirmed for 11am the next day. At 10am on the 28th I received a call saying that my appointment was scheduled for 12pm, even though I had confirmed multiple times. I had a doctors appointment at 12:30pm so I was unable to make the 12:00pm visit. I was rescheduled for August 30th.

I go to my first physical therapy session and I was introduced to Rodas and Teddy. Teddy then explained that Rodas is a student/intern and he will be overseeing her. I went over my entire medical history including the implant shifting 1mm and the fact I had broken 15 bones. Teddy mentioned getting a bone density scan. Rodas had me walk around to observe, and then had me lay face down on the table. She was checking my mobility and pressed down on my lower back. I yelled out and said that I felt like I had been electrocuted. She immediately stopped and I sat up. She showed me a couple exercises to do at home. Over the course of the next week my back hurt worse and worse. I went back a week later and saw Rodas. I told her I had been in terrible pain since my last visit and she then told the Teddy from my first session. The intern then massages my butt check (where pain radiated to) for 30 minutes.

I saw my spine surgeon 4 days later because the pain was so bad. He thought she had fractured a vertebrae and sent me for a Bone Density and CT Scan. Luckily nothing was broken, but it’s now been 4 months and I have been in terrible pain since. I tried emailing Teddy, but he hardly responds. He did, however, reach out to me after I completed a survey about the clinic and gave poor feedback. He then asked if my surgeon would be open acupuncture or other non-invasive procedures. 

I have since had a cortisone injection into my spine that gave me 36hours of relief. My surgeon is now suggesting either adding 2 more screws to my fusion or doing a full fusion from L3 to S1 but we have to wait until my disc replacement is healed more.

The biggest problem I have with Evolution is their lack of communication. I was NEVER told prior to my visit that I would be seeing Rodas, and intern. I would have never consented to that and I don’t believe my surgeon would have either. They should tell you when scheduling who you will be seeing. Introducing her at my visit is too little, too late. It's like they know patients won't want to see an intern, so they don’t tell them util they are already there. Personally, I don’t think an intern should even be seeing or touching a patient 8 weeks after major spine surgery. And she certainly shouldn’t be treating me without direct supervision, like she did at our 2nd visit. Still no response from Teddy when I mentioned that.

It’s unfortunate that they hardly respond and haven’t offered any other solutions in their clinic, even though Teddy asked I keep him updated with my progress. I tried to reach out to get a manager/owner email and they said Teddy was the assistant clinical director so I guess that makes him in charge?

They also billed my insurance for service date 8/28/24 (my original scheduled date, that I never went to) and 8/30/24 (which was denied because they submitted the claim too late, on 12/19/24.)

I don’t know whose actually in charge over there but they should know what’s going on.

I came to Evolution with a mild knee pain. My case is more complicated because of other health issues that I have.
Ana Lee is working with me and she spends the whole therapy time with me because of my other health issues. She is doing a wonderful job on me and my pain has gone 99% and I am getting stronger as times pass. This is my forth time that I am coming to Evolution for Physical Therapy and I have had excellent experience each time!
