I have just completed physical therapy at Girard Orthopedic and I would highly recommend this group. My therapist was Reggie along with his team. They were all very caring, pleasant, and made me feel so comfortable. The treatment was so great that at the end of my sessions I am totally free of all the pain I had and I am so grateful for that. i would definitely use them again if I ever needed any future physical therapy.

This is probably the most unprofessional medical office Ive ever been too. Rude receptionist and rude extremely unprofessional doctor. Specially the doctor that said he doesnt care for Spanish speaking patients and most of the nurses being hispanic this office . Front staff being hispanic and being rude to their own people. This office is only for the money and not for the care of patients. Dont waste your time . UCSD is a few blocks away!!

Best experience I've ever had in a doctor's office! Easy to make an appointment and the office staff were outstanding, especially Melissa. X-rays only took minutes and we didn't have to wait at all to see the doctor. We came in for a follow-up consult on my daughter's leg and we were in and out in no time with exceptional medical knowledge and advice. Doctor Lyle Rosenfield exceeded all expectations. Look no further - this is the best orthopedic office in San Diego County!
