Avalon Rehab, Huntington Beach CA

The reception and front desk folks are very nice and helpful. The pts have a set routine placing you with a machine then giving you a handout with preprinted exercises to follow. Questions about your own exercises and routines are dismissed, just follow the handout, do what you can…. That’s it. Go to the gym and get a personal trainer if you take responsibility for your own health and want to be well. Watch YouTube videos from physical therapists give you actual solutions.

Best PT place. Father-son duo is the perfect combination for healing after surgery or an accident (I've been here for both). Michael Carlson put together the best plan for me to get stronger and free of pain and Craig Carlson instructed me in implementing it. I am certain I would not have improved this much if I had gone somewhere else, which is why I insist my doctor sends me to Avalon.

I am not understanding what is being said about this place and Dr. Michael Carlson. I have, unfortunately, been to several rehab facilities in my life and this is by far the best! Dr. Mike is very knowledgeable and while he may have a bit of a "tough love" approach, I'd rather have a good doctor than a nice doctor that can't get me better. I have, for the first time, had complete recovery of my symptoms after my stroke in 2018. If it weren't for Doctor Mike, I would not be walking today!

Michael Carson is the worst doctor I have ever delt with. Had my first appointment and he was completely unprofessional. Brushed me off acting like my spinal cord stroke wasn't a big deal. He stated after 2 minutes of seeing me I don't have atrophy in my neck and shoulders. I've been seen by very high level doctors stating the opposite. I've have dozens of mris, emgs, and others tests proving I do. He had the audacity to even say "why are you here? You'll never be normal again. " this doctor should be in jail. STAY AWAY

Thank you to the Carlson family for helping my avoid surgery! You have an amazing rehab facility and I couldn't ask for anything better. You guys are the best!

Avalon, Mike and Craig are the BEST! They really care about their patients and it shows. I will not go anywhere else! Thank you Avalon rehab!

I am very concerned. They are open and during this virus period I have legit concerns. They should do zoom appts.
It would be my first appt.once I get that done then they will give me exercises to do.
I am stuck. Good they are open and work with people who are experiencing a discomfort. But mine is minor yet sore knee enough to need their guidance.
It’s not their fault but The frustration s because of my injury.i hope my referral can be extended 6 months so that I can attend my first appt.

It’s not safe for me to go being 60 years old.for safety reasons they should do Zoom appointments (on line visualization)
The staff have been the most dearest people to discuss my appt with.
I have no doubt when I finally get there: it will be rockstar.
It’s just getting to the first appt.

I went to Avalon Rehab and was just discharged recently. They were absolutely incredible. I have no idea why somebody would give them a one star. This is a five star operation!

I have been going to Avalon Rehab to improve the injuries I encountered from Rugby. They have been nothing but amazing to me and extremely helpful! I would recommend Avalon Rehab to anyone, they are very professional and definitely know what they are doing. Looking forward to future treatments!
