Advanced Orthopedic Physical Therapy

I’ve had several sports/​work injuries through the years that required rehab. Of all the PT offices I’ve used, AOPT is the BEST bar none. Patti and her staff are courteous, attentive, and very knowledgable. I was referred to AOPT by my Kerlin/​Jobe surgeon, Dr. Kvitne who considers AOPT tops in their field — and I certainly concur.

The crew at AOPT has now helped me rehab both my left and right ACL tears (4 years apart). I was living in Long Beach when I tore the first one and was referred to them by Dr. Yocum (RIP) from Kerlan Jobe. At the time, it was my first major operation and I had no idea what to expect, but I knew I had a long road ahead.
Everyone at AOPT is friendly, generous and, above all, professional. They’re really all about the patient. I’ve been worked on by Patti, Solomon and Rus, and they’re nothing but attentive to your needs and ultimately, your rehab goals. Even the assistants (Arianne, Marivic, Heather, Allen) are constantly checking and making sure you’re doing your exercises correctly. During sessions, I push myself hard. When I’m not feeling it, the crew at AOPT know when to motivate and they know when to reel you back so you don’t do more damage than good. They’re hands-​on when they need to be and let you work at your own pace otherwise. Up front, Kim makes scheduling and billing a breeze and always has a smile.
I didn’t know if I’d come back 100% from my first ACL but it feels great and I don’t give it a second thought when playing sports. So much so that surgery on my second ACL tear wasn’t even a question and the decision to come back to AOPT for rehab was made without hesitation. The ability to be active and mobile is everything to me and I’m extremely thankful for everyone at AOPT.

I’ve literally never experienced such bad customer service. They are the worst PTs in long beach and to have staff tell you «oh we should have called you is not ok» hire people that can do their jobs.

I Had a work knee injury that needed to get better.
I was sent to Advanced Orthopedic from Kaiser.
It is a very friendly and professional atmosphere.
My physical therapist was Patty along with the amazing assistants. They will all keep you on track while you do your stretches and exercises. And will remind you if you forget any. :)

I am sooooo grateful for all the healing the people at this place have brought to my life! I was suffering from plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis for 1.5 years and after seeing two other PT places, this was the only place that helped me :-) I received PT for about 5 months and improved significantly.
My physical therapist was Solomon along with the PT assistants. Here is the rundown: they begin with a 15 min. hot wrap on my feet, they lasered my feet (to promote healing) for about 5mins. a foot followed by another type of laser with warm gel (for about 5mins. a foot), they use this powerful massage machine they call «the hammer» on my entire calves (to help with my knots), hand massage on each foot which hurt at times but gave me such relief, and finally ending with taping of my feet that gave me lots of arch support.
This place deals with lots of athletes from CSULB, therfore I knew I was in the right place to begin with! Athletes ALWAYS get the best treatment, rght? I’ve seen them work on people with shoulder, knee, hip, and hand problems.
I definitely recommend this place, plus everyone is super nice!

Excellent in care, excellent in hands on therapy, and excellent staff. It is a rare find when all three of these attributes come together. Advanced Orthopedic Physical Therapy in Signal Hill, is one of those finds. I suffered a severe leg /​ankle break and had fears that I would never have the full use of my limb again. With the guidance of Patti and her staff and 5 months of hard work, I am feeling great and looking forward again to walking, biking, and golfing.
The attention to detail, in what exercises were needed, the amount of repetitions, the execution of each exercise and the care given in working the affected injury, left me with a sense of comfort knowing that my therapist was an integral part of my recovery.
The staff was always willing to accommodate my needs and help with a smile, a warm hello and my next appointments. This injury has given me a new family and a great recovery experience.
Thanks to all :)
