Stories from RCC’s patients
When a life-changing injury or diagnosis occurs, the path forward can feel overwhelming – medically, legally, and personally. For over two decades, Rehabilitation Care Coordination has served as the bridge between clinical care and life care, helping patients, families, attorneys, and medical providers navigate complex systems to achieve outcomes that matter.
The stories below come from the people who know us best: the physicians who trust us with their most challenging cases, the attorneys who rely on our expertise to secure their clients’ futures, and the families who have reclaimed their independence with our support. These testimonials reflect not just what we do, but why we do it – to help people rebuild their lives with dignity, resources, and a clear path forward.
- Walter Strauser – Sharp Rehabilitation, Rehab Physician
- They’re the best when it comes to case management and life care planning. But the most important thing they do is help my patients take back their lives.
- Jerome Stenehjem, Sharp Hospital – Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
- In this community RCC is really a one-of-a-kind organization, I don’t know any other kind of organization that does what it does. They have amazing nurses, a great staff, relationships with peers & insurance companies, and they know how to make things happen. So, I think they’re a special and unique resource.
- Carol Battaglia, Esq. – Attorney at Law, Battaglia & Waltari
- RCC has helped me to serve the beneficiaries of my special needs trust in the best way possible. It takes a team to do the best job of administering a special needs trust and you want to have RCC as part of your team.
- Doreen Casuto, RN – President, Rehabilitation Care Coordination
- The goal is not to create somebody who is dependent on us. The goal is to find out what resources they have so they can be independent.
- Walter Strauser – Sharp Rehabilitation, Rehab Physician
- They’re the best when it comes to case management and life care planning. But the most important thing they do is help my patients take back their lives.
- Andrew Skalsky, Rady’s Children’s Hospital of San Diego – Rehab Physician
- They know what’s right for the family, and sometimes we say we can’t do it because it’s not available. They don’t accept that, they say “If that’s what is right, let’s figure out how to do it”.
- Casey Johnson, Esq. – Attorney at Law, Aitken, Aitken & Cohn
- Their efforts not only ensured that our client received the proper medical care and treatment for his debilitating injuries, but also allowed our office to secure an eight figure, pre-litigation, policy limits settlement for our deserving client, which will ensure all of his future medical care needs will be met. The entire team at Rehabilitation Care Coordination is prompt, thorough, professional, caring, and truly client-driven. There is no higher recommendation I can give than for Doreen and Rehabilitation Care Coordination.
- Taylor J. Gaines, Esq. – Attorney at Law, Batta Fulkerson, LLP
- I was really blown away by the work product and efficiency. And, most importantly, because of their hard work, we were able to settle the case without litigation. It is without hesitation that I highly recommend Rehabilitation Care Coordination.
- Marilyn P
- If you ever needed somebody in the court room or in the medical profession that you don’t think you’re getting what you need, Doreen is your person.
- Diego M
- We’re not the clients, we become family.
- Tim B
- RCC is a huge asset to San Diego, especially for people with disability.
