Patient Testimonials

By far the best physical therapy clinic in orange county. I've been training for a marathon and I've picked up injuries here and there, but the physical therapists have been amazing and they've guided me and taught me a lot about how to better take care of my body. The aides have been really helpful and they're all charismatic. Edgar in particular, has been super helpful and knowledgable when the therapists are occupied.

The wellness services (cryotherapy, red light therapy, laser therapy) have been life saving as well. What an amazing facility!

Dr. Labovitch has provided outstanding orthopedic care to both me and my family since 2020. He is thorough, patient, and always takes the time to explain options clearly so we can make informed decisions, particularly with sports-related injuries. Even when I was away from home, he stayed in touch and helped coordinate care, which showed how much he puts his patients first. His new practice, SMaRT Health & Wellness, reflects his commitment to innovation and truly patient-centered care. We’re grateful for his expertise and the consistent, high-quality treatment he provides.

Most recently I had my hip replaced by Dr. Zapf. I can tell you two things: one, get it done. Like anyone you talk to, 'why didn't I do it sooner.' Number two, Dr. Zapf does a great job evaluating and explaining what's going on, what the fix is and how it will be post surgery. It's been amazing. Just over six weeks out and all in all, back to before the perpetual dull, (sometimes sharp) pain, normal. Highly recommend him.
Over the past 10 years, Dr. Labovitch has done a few knees and shoulders for me and my family. He, as well, runs through everything to ensure the best results coming out. I have referred and will continue to refer many to him and this practice.
The PT group downstairs is top notch as well. Can't say enough about the friendly and knowledgeable PTs and staff.
Thank you!

Very professional team. From front desk office to techs. Dr. Lobovitch was very comprehensive in his approach outlining all the relevant information and treatment plan. Very impressed with the facilities as well. State of the art PT services on site makes it very convenient for the patient.

I saw Dr. Sall for primary care services. Even though he is concierge, if you have the means it is well worth it. First of all when can you ever see a doctor for an hour and second have someone that actually listens to all your concerns and will go above and beyond to help do the proper workup and get you the right treatment weather it's primary care related or sports medicine related. It is always easy to get in contact with a staff member, and if someone does not answer the phone, they have a fantastic text messaging system and someone is always quick to respond. I finally found a place that I feel like I am part of a family and not just another daily number. The other thing I think is amazing is all the services they offer. It's nice just being able to go to one location and not drive around all over town.

I tore my ACL playing college soccer. Dr. Labovitch and his amazing team helped me through a stressful process. From the moment you walk in you feel like you are part of a family, not just another number or dollar amount. You can tell so much thought and time has gone into SMaRT on every level, not just the building, but the staff. He was very thorough in his explanations of the injury and the process from pre-rehab and surgery to end goal of recovery. His medical team was exceptional in making sure I had everything I needed and all my questions were answered. I also chose to add PRP during surgery and utilize the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy postoperatively. It was amazing how much better this made me feel not just for my knee but my overall body. I truly believe this made a significant difference in speeding up my recovery and minimizing my pain levels. It's rare to find a physician and staff that cares the way they do. Hopefully I won't have any more injuries, but if I do I will definitely be back.

I had been suffering from osteoarthritis for several years. I had some success with Physical Therapy, but it got to the point where the pain was so bad it was interfering with my life, I was having a lot of trouble getting around, and I was unable to do most of the things I enjoy. I was referred to Dr. Zapf, and on my first appointment, I knew I was in good hands. He performed a total hip replacement and I was up walking within an hour, I was off of all pain medicine within a week, and I was no longer using a walker after two. I returned to Physical Therapy and made great progress. It has been just over 4 months since my operation, and I am a totally new person. I am able to do most of the things I hadn't done in years, I am in no pain, and I continue to make progress every day. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Zapf for the expertise, care and support he provided throughout my journey. Thank you so much Dr. Zapf, you gave me my life back!

SMART is the only place my family and I will be going for PT or other related care! I've been to several other PTs in the area and Dr. John Kwon was life-changing. I got more out of one appointment with him than 6 weeks at other places. My husband is a former MLB pitcher and Dr. Ryan Labovich is his go-to for all things arm related from an orthopedic doctor - and he's seen many all over the country. SMART is a one-stop shop to truly heal and feel your very best. On top of that, they make the process fun and enjoyable. The energy there can't be beat - you never want to stop going!

Professional, friendly, great location, (I live in Laguna Beach and it is as easy to get to as Newport Beach) and best of all he is a GREAT DOCTOR…Dr. Ryan Labovich. He’s an athlete himself, (but you don’t k have to be, he knows his stuff!) honest, and I worked with him before at another office. Check in easy. Staff nice. Parking easy. Nice offices. PT in same building. X-rays same office. Quick to respond. I highly recommend him for any knee issues, I’m sure he’s good at other issues I’m just commenting on what I have worked with him on. He’s worked with the BEST surgeons and orthopedic doctors and is one himself! He worked with Kramer and Gorab! Well known in OC!

I have a lot of respect for Dr Labovitch! He has treated other injuries I’ve had over the years so it only made sense to go back to him for this knee pain I’ve been experiencing. This new practice and facility has a lot to offer and I wish him all success in this venture!
