Sports Medicine in Newport Beach

“Hands down, FIVE stars!

The sports medicine specialist, a DO, whom I saw for my bunion problem causing excruciating pain in my foot and ankle, insisted that I go to OCPT. I chose their Irvine location. The facility is in a modern office park. The office is clean, bright, airy and very functional. The staff is outstanding starting with the receptionists, especially Hailey who is very, very knowledgeable. Onwards to the PT aides who are well trained, sharp, pleasant and effective in their job. The DPTs are consummate professionals. I was assigned to Justina who is a healer, a magician and most of all, a top notch educator. There were days that I limped from the parking lot to their office with considerable discomfort and walked out ready to put on my fencing gear for a training session. Needless to say, she healed me. At the conclusion of my lengthy treatment period, Justina sent me away with the knowledge and confidence to keep myself in shape and continue to improve my health. The owner, Victor, is a personable and astute businessman as well as a hands-on professional who still treats patients. I highly recommend this facility.

On top of all that, they offer Radio Pressure Wave (RPW) therapy. I’ve had this treatment out of state recently and it was effective in treating this nagging nerve (?)/muscular issue in my dominant shoulder. If you have chronic muscle pain, I highly recommend that you consider this technology. While this therapy is not covered by any insurance or Medicare, their price is less than anywhere else that I can find locally and certainly less than what Google AI shows.“

“First, I would like to say that I love this office from the front desk to the care rooms.
Dr. Wishmyer is very thoughtful, a great listener, and understands the progression of how therapy should go.
Danae the massage therapist is the BEST therapeutic massage therapist I have ever experienced in the last 25 years. That is a HIGH compliment. You need to have a massage in conjunction with Dr. W’s treatments!!! And Ivie the gatekeeper of all things, is my new BEST Frennie. ? Who doesn’t love Ivie?
She is a gifted communicator. All this being said. Today I came home so grateful and not in pain.
Thank you to the entire team. Truly. You are also helping my husband who is precious to me. ?????? xoxo Eme B.
Oh! Don’t forget to TIP Danae!!! She has a Venmo QR that makes it so easy! She is worth her salt in lbs. (Maybe weight in tons). Not joking….“

“Dr Dreyer is AMAZING! It's rare to find someone who takes significant amount of time to make sure that you are getting the right treatment. I am a long distance runner and I was really looking for someone who could help with the longevity of being an athlete. Dr. Dreyer provides incredible stretches and ideas to make sure you are getting better! Does not rush you or the process.“

“I had an excellent experience at Accelerate Physical Therapy and cannot recommend them highly enough. What truly sets this clinic apart is their commitment to individualized care—each session is one-on-one with a licensed therapist, without the use of aides, which made a significant difference in the quality and focus of my treatment.

The team consists of four therapists who each bring unique perspectives and valuable expertise. I primarily worked with Shawn over the course of about seven months following my hip labral tear surgery, but I also had the opportunity to work with Tanner, Emily, and Alyssa. Every one of them was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in my recovery. I would confidently recommend any of them.

Recovery from surgery can be both physically and emotionally challenging, and there were several points where I felt uncertain or concerned about my progress. Throughout it all, the team consistently provided reassurance, clear guidance, and thoughtful adjustments to my treatment plan. Their support made a meaningful impact on both my confidence and my outcomes.

I truly believe my recovery progressed as well and as quickly as it did because of the care I received at Accelerate. I’m very grateful for their dedication and expertise.“

“I have no pain for the first time in 26 years! 🎈👏 thank you, Dr. Goswami 🙏
I was in a head-on collision car accident years ago, the whiplash to my spine ended up in spinal stenosis, arthritis and bone spurs in my neck and low back. I was always in pain. I went through a stem cell treatment two months ago using my own stem cells and with proper hydration, nitric oxide supplements, Yoga and chiropractic my spine is just as healthy now as it was when I was 25 years old. I am so grateful that the Goswami Clinic has this procedure available. Don’t hesitate to help yourself get well if you have back pain and are considering this route.“

“Excellent experience, I feel like brand new he brought me back to life. Thank you so much.

“I have spent years searching for the right physical therapist after a lifetime of severe neck, head, jaw, shoulder, and thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) issues, and I can honestly say that Dr. Natsuko Watanabe is unlike anyone I have ever worked with.

Even though I’ve only had my first appointment, I knew almost immediately that she was something special. She doesn’t just treat symptoms—she takes the time to understand your entire body, how everything is connected, and most importantly, the root cause of the problem. Her knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, and movement is incredible, but what truly sets her apart is how she combines that expertise with genuine compassion and individualized care.

After seeing countless specialists, surgeons, and physical therapists over the years, this was the first time I felt like someone truly understood what was happening with my body. She is thorough, thoughtful, incredibly skilled, and explains everything in a way that makes sense.

While I was there, I also met another patient who shared that they had gone from walking with a cane to walking normally after just five days of treatment. Seeing that kind of progress firsthand gave me even more confidence that I was in the right place.

If you’ve been told to “just live with the pain,” or you’ve been searching for answers without success, I cannot recommend Dr. Watanabe highly enough. She is truly one of a kind, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. I am genuinely excited for the first time in years about my recovery.“

“Dr. Shabnam Pourhassani is an exceptional physician. With her guidance, my husband achieved healthy weight loss, and I personally lost over 30 pounds. Beyond that, the stress and anxiety we had struggled with for nearly five years were finally resolved through her holistic and compassionate approach.
She truly cares about the whole person, not just the numbers. We are deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone seeking real, lasting change and improved quality of life.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
