Mizuta & Associates Physical Therapy

I tore my MCL & ACL around 4 months ago, and after doing some careful research, ended up at this amazing place. And thank goodness I did! My knee is almost 100% back to normal, with NO surgery, all thanks to Jill’s awesome help.
If you’re looking for a great physical therapist, look no further. You can’t go wrong at Mizuta & Associates!

Mizuta & Associates Physical Therapy is the best place you can ever find to recover under the most professional Physical Therapists. I guarantee that every patient will be in good hands with these miracle workers.
I’d like to start my feedback where everybody (patient) enters the front office. I had the opportunity to meet with Mary as she’s extremely welcoming, professional, friendly, and fabulously helpful with positive attitude. Mary provided me with the best customer service and courtesy I’ve ever experienced in my life. I’ve already gotten to sense this positive impression since I phoned the office and spoke to her before verifying my insurance information and scheduling my appointment. Mary is absolutely an irreplaceable asset to this office and certainly to any office she would work for. She’s the best in my opinion as she’s also an influential factor that made me choose this office over others for my treatment.
With that being said, Jill is also professional, skillful and encouraging. She took the time and effort to help me out figure my issue and cause of pain to alleviate the pain and pressure on my back.
After several PT sessions, Laura has truly become my No 1 Favorite PT even though Jill is helpful. Laura has countless number of techniques and exercises that are gradually making me feel «Relieved & Energetic». Laura had also been teaching me accurately how to practice all the exercises properly as follow her instructions. She always comes with a positive attitude and smile that assures me certain relief and extra exciting moments. Thank you very much Laura for being my best helper. I’d definitely recommend Laura as she’s and always will be my Favorite Physical Therapist due to her friendliness, professionalism, and endless knowledge.
I noticed that each and every staff in this office is helpful and effective to all patients.
I would definitely recommend this office to every patient seeking physical therapy and miracle work. I’d certainly rate this office and staff with ¹⁰⁄₁₀.
Thank you very much Mizuta Team for all the excellent work you provide to all patients on a daily basis :)

I came to Ericka with shoulder and knee pain. I had had knee surgery about 5 years prior and I felt no relief. I was considering another procedure and after a quick assessment, she told me that I did not need surgery but some hip, butt and leg strengthening. I had done 4 months of PT with another group with absolutely no relief but after about 3 months of consistent therapy with her and her knowledge, my knee started feeling better. The doctors also wanted to go in and shave the bone in my shoulder to make more room but with her regular exercise and and strength training, I am ecstatic to report I am feeling 100%. She really is a miracle worker. In addition, when you see her, you only see her. She doesn’t warm you up and then pass you off to her staff. She is your direct contact for the entire appointment. I LOVE YOU ERICKA!

Mizuta & Associates were absolutely fantastic! The front office staff was super friendly and even knew exactly what I needed to do to get my insurance situated. Nicole was phenomenal — super friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. She explained exactly what was going on with my back and what we had to do to fix it. I would definitely recommend them!

I have gone to physical therapy before and I have always stopped going because I didn’t feel important or I felt like I was just bossed around in a gym like environment. There is always parking in the complex where Mizuta is. When I walked in I was greeted with smiles and friendly «Hello». I felt like I mattered. I felt like these were people I had already known for a while. It is a comfortable environment. When it is time for your appointment, it is really all about you. The environment is relaxed, but the staff is very knowledgable.
I am starting to feel relief from the physical therapy. Although I don’t always do my exercises twice a day, they still help.

I am so glad I chose Mizuta & Associates for my physical therapy, and particularly that I was assigned to see Dr. Beth Miller.
As background, foot surgery in December 2012 was very slow to heal, requiring 8 weeks of zero weight bearing on it, followed by another 8 weeks of minimal weight bearing. When I first went to see Beth in mid April, I had basically not walked for 4 months, and thus had lost all my stamina in addition to having stiff toes that could not yet be bent. Initially, Beth concentrated on ankle and calf strengthening and simple balance exercises, expanding the range as my recovery progressed to encompass a wide range of foot and ankle exercises as well as stamina building ones. She knew exactly when to push for more effort and when to ease up, and varied the exercises so that they were never boring. I’m not quite back to normal, but looking at where I was 4 months ago and where I am today, Beth has done a fantastic job.
The facility is small, clean and well equipped. The office staff (Mary, Kimberly and Jamie) are excellent and extremely welcoming and the atmosphere there is friendly and relaxed. I particularly appreciated that once you are assigned to a therapist, that is the person you see, for a full hour per appointment. No assistants, no substitutes, just an hour of very intense, personal attention. And Mizuta & Associates takes Medicare. I wholeheartedly recommend this facility. Thank you so much, Dr. Beth.

Mizuta and Associates is a great place to do your rehab because they have extremely knowledgable and professional physical therapist. Many therapy places you might choose will have you working mostly with a technician, but at Mizuta you get one-​on-​one therapy with one of their physical therapist at every session. This is great because I had a unique injury by tearing my MCL and completely tearing my VMO. There is no standard way to rehab this injury, so Dr. Erika Mizuta and Dr. Beth Miller worked closely with my physician to create a plan specific to my needs in order to fully recover. Dr. Miller has been great at providing me with exercises and support that are helping me see great improvement each and every week They are incredibly flexible to work with your scheduling needs, which is important with a crazy work schedule. Kimberly in the front office is very friendly and will help you answer any of your insurance questions or scheduling needs. I have nothing but good things to say about Mizuta and Associates, and their professional staff.

This is the THIRD rehab clinic I have been to, and it far surpassed the other two (one was in Scripps, the other was another private clinic)
I saw Dr. Mark Shulman for an ACL/​MCL tear in my right knee for a few months in 2011. I needed help getting my strength and mobility back after my ACL reconstruction.
I cannot express how much I enjoyed and appreciated the help and service I got at Mizuta. Mark is extremely knowledgeable and was constantly pushing me to work harder while keeping my limits and condition in mind. He helped me not only get my knee into great shape but helped me get back to where I was pre-​injury. He gave me a ton of exercises that I could do at home and was available via phone call if I needed anything – what more could you ask for? I was working to get back into playing college sports and it was exactly what I needed.
Besides the actual physical help I received, everyone at Mizuta is so welcoming and great to talk to. I spoke to Dale a few times while I was there and he was always so kind. I saw Kimberly every time I was there (she is at the front desk) and she was very friendly, interested, and just in general fun to talk to. Going to physical therapy is never something that people are thrilled about, but this team really made it something to look forward to.
I highly recommend Mizuta for anything physical-​therapy related. They are completely relatable down-​to-​earth people with your best interest in mind!

Ericka is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and encouraging, which is exactly what I need! I liked her so much that I asked for her recommendation for a new PCP.
She is flexible with scheduling, which is a huge relief for me and my randomly hectic schedule. She even emails me my appointments, a scan of my exercises, and offered to communicate with my personal trainer for me.
I went to her for a knee problem I was having after a recent injury, and she is not only working with me on this but is taking the extra time to help me with additional things. I sit at a desk all day on a computer at work, and have back and neck pain that she has helped me with as well. I’ve been working with her for two weeks and am already seeing results!
