I was in so much pain with no answers when I finally googled "chiropractic with x-ray near me". I found Budincich and WOW, changed my life. I have regained movement in my neck, am back to my normal activities, and feel better than I have in years. The staff are kind and caring, the doctors are knowledgeable and understanding. Honestly, any question I have is given time and a clear explanation. With in-house x-ray, massage, and acupuncture you really don't need to go anywhere else. 12/10 would recommend! Dr. Thom out here saving lives fam! read more

My immediate symptoms were relieved here, however, I felt very uncomfortable as a female patient. I felt like adjustments could have taken place without having to put hands in certain areas and conversation topics could have stayed on health and not personal matters. I've also never got a warm feeling from his staff and the old fashioned decor made it all the more awkward for me. I've had a couple of make chiropractors after that experience and have felt completely fine. read more

Dr. Bud and dr. Tom and staff are very good doctors and staff. I recommend this office to any and everyone.

Let me start out by saying I have never visited a chiropractor before. I was a little nervous. But the office is homey and the staff is welcoming and warm. By the luck of the draw I got Dr Tom. This guy is exactly who I needed to be my chiro. I love how he explains the procedures and his goals. I also like that he wants to set up a plan that is intensive at first to fix my injury, but then eventually taper off to once a month. Makes me feel like he cares about me and not my $. I highly recommend this chiropractor's office. read more

My husband and I were both experiencing pain and needed relief. We started seeing Dr. Budincich and his team and we are very pleased with the care we have received! Dr. Bud and Dr. Tom's adjustments are very helpful for improving flexibility. Dr. Tom is so helpful and takes the time to explain things in a manner a layperson can understand. Scott, the massage therapist is excellent and very caring. He always finds all the knots and sore spots helping to relieve pain and tightness. This office cares about your well being and is so helpful in trying many methods and techniques to help relieve your pain. The girls in the front office are also excellent and very helpful and informative. We highly recommend Dr. Bud and his entire team!! read more

Dr. Tom you're the man I can't believe you always have the solution to fix me. My neck couldn't feel any better your recommendation and those few simple adjustments did the trick. You are A true master. Had a Great night sleep from the nights before I arrived I could stop tossing and turning! Can't thank you guys enough for the whole office has great energy and prices! Bee back soon! Five stars read more

With a twenty year old injury and all kinds of pain after a bad medication reaction, I was in constant pain. I sat with an ice pack or heat, whatever might help a bit in the evenings. I heard Dr. Bud speak at a Rotary function, and decided to give yet another chiropractor a try. Slowly but surely over a year, I have made great progress, and would say 80 per cent of my pain is gone. Totally amazing. He's got the right stuff! Couldn't ask for a better doc! Thanks, Dr. Bud! read more

See all

Dr. Bud (as he is known to his patients) provides really wonderful service. When I first cam to the offices a few years ago, I had numbness in my fingers from a pinched nerve - not carpel tunnel. At the time I was hugely skeptical of chiropractors in general. I thought once you go you always have to go to them. So I was a bit unsure about the referral my sister gave me, but the numbness was getting worse so I went. I was happily surprised at how he answered all my questions (and I had a lot!), made me feel comfortable, listened to my anxiety, was personable and made me laugh along the way. He also gave me the option to decide how my treatment schedule was to be handled. So after the agreed course of treatment that I found fit my schedule and my budget, I felt relief and didn't have to go forever as I previously thought. Dr. Bud really knows what he is doing and I have trusted him over the years to help me with other issues that have risen from working on the computer too much and even being pregnant and having numbness in my fingers (different hand this time) from sleeping on my side. I really do trust Dr. Bud completely. He is very generous, funny and a great listener. HIGHLY recommend Budincich Chiropractic Clinic. Thanks Dr. Bud! read more

Dr. Bud has given me freedom by taking my low back and hip pain away! It was so bad I couldn't even sleep at night. After visiting him regularly just twice weekly, it went away and I am SO happy! I feel like I have my life back! He truly has a gift of healing. Don't hesitate and get help from the best! read more

I came to Dr. Bud's clinic after throwing out my back, a result of not addressing constant back ache and over exercising. After 7 sessions, I am now pain free after many years of living with constant back ache. I'm Incredibly happy with the results and professionalism of Dr. Bud and his entire staff. The whole team is extremely warm and friendly. I look forward to continue my treatment to maintain my back and neck pain free. read more

Went to go try this place out since my neck has been hurting for a long time. Within a few visits Dr. Tom was able to relive my pain that has been going on for months. The best part of it all is that Dr. Tom took his time explaining everything that was going on with my neck. Dr. Tom and the whole staff are an unremarkable team. Once again, thank you guys. read more

I went to this chiropractor on the recommendation of a friend from PCC in mid 2000. The office is clean and everyone seemed professional. It wasn't until I got my x-ray that the alarm bells went off. The x-ray was supposedly of my spine. The x-ray budincich showed me was dubious as the spine in the x ray was severely distorted and would have had me walking hunched over. He insisted that my spine needed adjusting and he could restore my spine to its natural position. They tried to lock me into a years worth of treatment ( a year contract with monthly payments, which were outrageous). I went to see an internist and got an x rays done by a trained radiological technician. My spine was normal and the only problem was a severely pinched nerve in my lower back. Budincich is shady. If you choose to visit his office be careful. read more

Seriously the best and funniest chiropractic and a really good believer in his faith!

Skilled & Family Friendly! It's literally a family affair- we all go together- my 14 year old son who plays sports, my SO who was injured in an auto accident and myself. Dr.Tom not only has a great chiropractic technique but he takes the time to ask questions and explain the how/ why of the problem and or solution to it. The entire office is quick paced and super efficient, Rosemarie at the front desk usually has in and out with minimal wait time. It's worth the drive from Studio City. read more

I've been going to Dr. Bud for a few years now and recommend him to all my friends and colleagues. He is a very nice man and has helped me when I have been at my worst. read more

Dr. Bud has a ton of experience and has educated me so much on spinal health. I am currently recovering from surgery due to herniated discs and the services provided at Dr. Bud's have truly helped with the rehabilitation. He also helped with providing heel lifts which have eliminated much tension in my lower back. Highly recommended! read more

Dr.Bud is a very good doctor very thorough x-rays examination he will find out exactly what is wrong with you and figure out a plan to deal with getting you back in alignment. Whether you were hurt in an accident or you just experienced daily pain he's a good guy to go to read more

Dr. Bud and everyone at Budincich Chiropractic are wonderful!! I was lucky enough to be referred to Dr Bud by my boss. At the time I had a pinched nerve and was in horrible pain. Luckily for me Dr Bud knew exactly what to do and over several weeks had me feeling much better. Dr Bud has a wonderful table side manner and is very respectful. He truly cares about me and all of his patients. Dr Bud is a fantastic listener and always has a big smile on his face. I don't know what I would have done without Dr Bud. With his help I was able to manage my injury with minimal time off work. Call Budincich Chiropractic you won't be sorry!! read more

I've been to a lot of chiropractors over the last 40 years and Dr. Bud is the best I've encountered. I couldn't understand why I was having so many problems with my lower back staying in place. I wish I had gotten x-rays years ago! Aha! One leg was a bit shorter than another. The heel lift really made a difference. I could walk comfortably once again. Dr. Bud has each new patient do x-rays and spends a lot of time with the patient to explain how to best treat the symptoms presented. After seeing him for over a year, I got an MRI done on my lower back. The specialist M.D. described my results in 2 sentences. I got a copy of the MRI, and Dr. Bud spent an hour with me showing me what was going on with my degenerated, herniated discs so that I really understood what I was dealing with. Where can you go to get that caliber of professional guidance? My health and well-being has substantially improved with his careful and skilled treatment. read more

This month marks my 1 year anniversary with Dr. Bud. On March 13, 2012 I was in a pretty bad car accident at 7am. By 3pm I was in extreme pain and was in a desperate search for a chiropractor to help with the terrible whiplash. Dr. Bud was kind enough to accept me as a walk-in and began the appropriate treatment. I know I would not have recovered as quickly as I did if I was not under Dr. Bud's care. I continue to go for routine adjustments and feel rejuvenated each and every time. read more

Wow! One adjustment and I feel way better after 3 months of pain. Looking forward to the next visit.

I was in serious lower back pain when I went to Dr. Bud, my first visit to a Chiropractor. I had 80% relief after the first visit. Dr. Bud and Dr. John made thorough professional examines and diagnoses. Heading back to get the last 20% and deal with some long term neck issues. Great, caring staff and Doctors. I recommend highly to anyone suffering. You are in good hands here. read more

Dr John. Is awesome I was in a lot of pain and he saw me on a Saturday evening very thorough pinpointed the issue. They have state of the art equipment and I felt relief right away read more

I have been getting adjusted by Dr. Bud for several years now and I've been very pleased with his excellent work. Getting an appointment is always easy with his attentive staff. I decided to run the Mount Wilson Trail race and after training on hills was experiencing tendonitis in my knee. I went in for an adjustment and talked to Dr. Bud about it. He encouraged me to continue my training. After the race, he was there in a booth to help runners recover from the grueling 8.6 mile race. He gave me a physiotherapy knee treatment and I felt so good that I went and ran a 5K 2 days later! I highly value his expert care and his community involvement too. read more

Dr. Bud rocks! As an eight-year patient of Dr. Bud's, I have come to know him as a caring pracitioner but also a caring human being. As a former All-American athlete, Dr. Bud has an appreciation for what ails the mechanics of a body like few others. He is an approachable person who is genuinely interested in seeing his patients improve so they can enjoy life to the fullest. I have total confidence in Dr. Bud. The staff is outstanding, friendly and glad to see you. In addition to chiropractic services, the clinic offers accupuncture from Dr., Togi and also massage therapy. What makes him that much moire apecial as a person is the volunteer work that he has been doing for years. Michael Budincich is an outstanding chiropractor and THE place to go in the San Gabriel Valley when you need to be "straightened out." read more

Great place to come for if you need an adjustment or have back issues. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the wait time is usually not long. Dr. Bud is a great chiropractor and really knows what to do to help with your problems and will have you feeling like new when you leave. read more

My work comp insurance referred me to Dr. Togi an acupuncturist for my wrist injury. I have had 3 sessions so far and like night and day my wrist feels better! T strongly recommend this service to anyone who has tried with out results other methods and are still in pain. read more

I was referred to Dr. Bud by a neighbor, and he didn't disappoint! Not only did he solve the acute tendonitis I showed up with, he took x-rays and was able to diagnose and help treat a number of chronic pains I had been living with for years. He is a friendly, professional doctor, with a helpful, pleasant staff. Highly recommend! read more

I will forever be grateful to Dr Bud and Dr Thomas for my treatment. I've been suffering from back pain for years but passed it off as just being one of those things. For a year and a half I suffered from major back pain but couldn't take the time off from work to deal with it. Unfortunately the pain caused my sciatic nerve to become aggravated and at that point I had no choice but to go on disability due to the unbearable pain . A neurosurgeon saw my MRI and confirmed I had a herniated L5. He said the only option I had was to have surgery, and that no other kind of therapy would help me. I did not want to have surgery because I personally know people who've had back surgery and regret it because they're now dealing with other issues and the original pain. Many friends recommended going to one chiropractor, Dr Gooing, he was great but too far and so he recommended someone who he would send his mother to. That's how I came to Dr Bud, I've been seeing him for about 4 months now and through his therapy I'm feeling much better. I was to the point where I couldn't do anything. I was in pain whether I sat, walked or even laid down, I was miserable. With Dr Bud's help I'm almost completely better and I'm feeling like myself again. I would highly recommend his office to anyone seeking help. Everyone is always really friendly and work with you the best they can. I'll continue my therapy and I'm confident I'll be better than I was before. read more

Dr. Tom Surnock's adjustments helped me so much that even my digestive system improved and my periods got better to what they were before I started my job. He discovered something that's rotated due to my desk set up. My desk set up at work wasn't ergonomic. Even my shoulders and neck were miserable. He makes helpful life suggestions to improve comfort. The best thing about his office is that everyone really knows what they are doing and they helped me in areas that MDs could not. The cherry on the top is that Scott, their massage therapist, is AMAZING! He really knows how to get into those pressure points and work out knots without hurting me. He is a wonderful person and gifted healer. The back office (Christie) and reception staff are knowledgeable and courteous. You cannot go wrong with this Chiropractor's office for your healing. If you are a Worker's Comp patient, there's a lot of paperwork. Give yourself extra time to fill that out on the first day. Keep personal data low and focus only on the work injury. They'll pinpoint what's going on and do a great job to ease the pain. read more

Dr. Bud is simply amazing. I've been coming to Budincich Chiropractic for a year now and I've had over a dozen adjustments. At my first appointment, Dr. Bud did a very thorough Pre exam before identifying my problem areas and I really appreciated that he asked all the right questions and really listened to my answers-that's so rare. He identified an injury that happened when I was very young-and I hadn't realized the effects of that event until Dr. Bud pointed it out! Every follow up adjustment demonstrated his skills and experience as a specialist and I come out feeling like a new person. He doesn't need any bells and whistles like some of these new hipster practices because he is effective and gets the job done! I'm so glad I found Dr. Bud through his yelp reviews and that's why I'm now posting one to return that favor. Did I mention he also speaks Spanish? Maravilloso y simplemente perfecto. read more

I had the misfortune of throwing my back out recently and the first person I thought of was Dr. Bud. I had gone to him approximately 8 years ago for a similar situation, at that time I was so nervous going to a chiropractor for it was my first time, after being treated by Dr. Bud it was more like where have you been all my life. Which brings me back to today, he has performed miracles once again. When I walked in, I could barely take a step without being in a great deal of pain, when I left I was walking fine and could bend down for the first time since being hurt. I highly recommend Dr. Bud to anyone needing help in relieving the pain in their back. read more

I started at Budincich when my Chiropractor - Dr. John Casci - moved there last year. I love everything about the place! First of all Dr. Casci is the best - I never "believed in" Chiropractors until I threw my back out and could not even walk in October 2011. That is when I decided it was time - and I have never looked back. He has helped me though many of life's aches and pains, and with the move to Dr. Bud's he has more tools at his disposal. He is professional, thorough, funny, very caring and really cares about helping you feel better. My whole family now goes to him for one reason or another and my husband's back is perfect and his golf game never better!. Dr. Bud is also great! I love talking sports with him - he runs a wonderful practice and really cares about you whether you are his patient or Dr. Casci's. The office staff is friendly, helpful and always do what they can to get you in as soon as possible. All the equipment and the treatment areas are clean and well maintained and they have various methods of treatment and pieces of equipment to handle any problem. The hours are flexible and the location is perfect- plenty of parking too! I would not go anywhere else, and neither would my family read more

Dr. Bud is the best. I've been going to him for over 10 years. I have complete faith in him. He has treated me during both pregnancies. Most recently he has helped me recover from Bells Palsy. I always feel good coming out of his office. Everyone is so friendly and the office hours are flexible. I highly recommend Dr. Bud. He also has a wonderful Accupuncturist in his office, Dr. Suh. read more

The staff and doctors at the clinic are like family to me. They always make me feel comfortable and care about me as an individual. Dr. bud is an amazing and inspirational person. He is also a leader in the Pasadena community, and helps the sick in desolate locations whenever he can. There's nothing him he can't do for people. read more

I am 64 years old. I started going to Dr. Bud in 1988 at the age of 38 when I injured my back pushing a truck. I could barely stand up and the pain was beyond belief, but with the help of my wife I was able to get on crutches and make it into the office. After x-rays and a thorough exam, Dr. Bud showed me that I had 2 severely herniated discs, and they were quite bulged. We came to the conclusion that the leg weight lifting I did in high school probably precipitated this. He explained that normally a condition this bad would be recommended for back surgery by most doctors, but he encouraged me to try treatment if I was willing to work with him. He said this could be a long road and would very likely require constant management, but it was possible to avoid surgery. I had him treat me that day and it was coincidentally "Free Friday" and he would not allow me to pay. I then researched back surgery and spoke to people that had it, and the results were very unpredictable and often worse. I decided to go forward with Dr. Bud and began a treatment program that took several weeks of treatment 3 times per week, sleeping in a special recliner bed, working on a stool with an elevated desk, icing my back, using a "back-bubble" home apparatus that Dr. Bud recommended, and many other parts to the program. Within about 2 months I was pain free. I continued going in for treatment on a maintenance program, and over the years I would have further incidents that included not being able to walk and having to be carried in to see Dr. Bud. He kept encouraging me to stick with it. One time the pain was so bad I could not even roll over in bed or be carried, so he came to my house and treated me to the point where I could begin to move and function. I will never forget that day. By my mid-50's my back had gotten to the point where I had very minor issues and I would go for several years without flare-ups, and even then they were minimal and did not inhibit my walking or functionality. About two years ago I was traveling and developed a pain in my back that became excruciating by the time that I returned home. It was so bad that I could not sleep most of the night. I went into Dr. Bud to get it adjusted, and he found my back was not out so he asked me if he could check around. He began pushing in various spots and hit a very hot spot near my stomach and said I had a gall bladder or kidney infection. I went that day to an internal specialist, and found I had a severely infected gall bladder and had to have it removed the next morning. I have been traveling for business the past 2 years on an extended basis, so dropped out maintenance treatment for a while and had a recent minor flare-up. I went back in and got treated and in a visit I mentioned I had a bad thumb sprain that my orthopedic doctor said was not a torn ligament after getting an MRI, but I was still having pain after 6 months and asked him if that was normal. He adjusted it twice in the past 2 weeks and the pain is nearly gone. This was after 6 months of orthopedic visits and physical therapy. I never would have guessed that a thumb could be adjusted. I have referred several family and friends to Dr. Bud and he is the only chiropractor they will see after visiting him. The staff are always very helpful, a reflection of his business philosophy. I have never written a Yelp review nearly this long, but if my message saves just one person from back surgery it will be worth it! read more

As a first time visitor to Dr. Bud, I was very impressed by his expertise and ease in dealing with various ailments that I described to him that I was experiencing. He was friendly and listened rather than sell me on future adjustments. Since I am new to the neighborhood I wasn't certain what to expect but I've found a wonderful chiropractor now for both me and my husband. Great staff with attentive customer service as well! read more

Dr. Bud is the real deal. He has helped me through a shoulder injury (thanks to the pulsed electromagnetic field therapy/ a.k.a the "click click machine"), back pain, and pregnancy. I have been to several chiropractors, and he truly has a gift. Not gimmicky or pushy. read more

Dr. Bud has been taking care of me for over 25 years and I can't recommend him enough. When I was playing high school and college football he was the primary doctor that kept me playing through all of my injuries, minor and major. He was a National Champion with the USC Track & Field Team so he really understands what athletes go through with injuries mentally and physically. He's very strong and performs adjustments that not all chiropractors could handle. Make Dr. Bud your first stop if you need chiropractic care. He's right in Pasadena off the freeway, and it's very easy to locate his office. Dr. Bud is also very involved in his community and does a lot of charity work as well. He's the founder of Manos Con Alas Ministries, which is a great charity helping the people in Baja have a better life. I highly recommend the Budincich Chiropractic Clinic for anyone, young and old, needing chiropractic care of any kind. You won't be disappointed!! read more

The best! I suffered with lower back pain for years. Dr. Bud diagnosed me with having a leg length discrepancy. I know wear a 9mm wedge and my pain is much better. Also the office staff are very efficient and friendly. read more
