Dr. Hargett is the best and their office is super clean, beautiful and full of great new technologies. They take my x-ray right at the office on my first visit and then went over the results in detail with me. I highly recommend this office. read more

I have been going to Dr.Chen for 5years. Dr.Chen is very professional and friendly to his patience.

I have crazy back pain after a car accident and my friend referred me to compassion chiropractor. Dr. Chen and his team really help me get through the back pain with their professional knowledge with adjustment. I would highly recommend everyone who need adjustment for their body. read more

Always a pleasure to come in for an adjustment!Compassion Chiropractic has a friendly and knowledgeable staff. They are super efficient about finding and resolving any issues I may have. I can appreciate their appointment only policy as the office is always quite never crowded. This makes for a tranquil experience with every visit. read more

I've been seeing chiropractors for my entire adult life, and Compassion Chiropractic is one of the best I've been to. I have chronic neck issues, and many chiropractors have had limited success in providing relief - but Dr. Chen has been able to adjust it every time. I appreciate the care that the entire practice places on addressing the whole person, from the initial exam, X-rays, explanation of results, and the "homework" of ongoing exercises to help you help yourself. This is not a "rack 'em and crack 'em" practice, but rather a partner in your ongoing care. I highly recommend them! read more

Dr. Chen and Dr. Hargett are great Chiropractic doctors. I had a very bad car accident and my back including leg muscles were in tremendous pain. The doctors helped me so much in reducing the pain and making my body more flexible and comfortable. They also have wonderful and extremely pleasant personalities making you feel as if you are their only patient. They truly unique in how much attention and care they provide during all treatments. read more

[Copied my review from the "old" Compassion Chiropractic before they moved. Everything still applies, and I still think Dr. Chen is the best chiropractor that's had the pleasure of working on my falling-apart-body.] I started seeing Dr. Chen after getting daily headaches that an extra cup of coffee couldn't cure. He did an initial diagnoses, and confirmed that, yes, I indeed spend way too much time sitting in front of a computer and have developed bad posture - causing excessive strain on my neck muscles that somehow cause pain to spread up my neck to the side of my head. He recommended that I change my seating position while working and driving, and suggested exercises that I do regularly to relieve mental and physical tension. Adjustments wise, he is the best. Gentle yet firm, and pops everything back in its right place. As another reviewer mentioned, Dr. Chen uses a variety of tools and techniques, and finishes every session with electrical stimulation that puts me in a relaxed state for the rest of the day. I've seen several other chiropractors in the past, and think Dr. Chen is overall, the most effective at curing what ails me. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Chen is amazing !! Everyone in the office are caring and super kind!! Dr. Chen has lot of patient when I ask tones of questions!! The environment of the clinic is comfy and good !! Highly recommend Dr. Chen to be your chiropractor !! read more

Dr. Chen is the best! Super helpful, communicative, and accommodating to my schedule every time. Love the attitude and interactions I have with his staff as well. Got in a car accident a couple years ago and Dr. Chen & his staff helped me with all the insurance information (which made my life a lot easier especially with work). Definitely check them out! read more

Update on review - I recently tweaked my back again and thank goodness for Dr Chen and his staff. They accommodated me right away when they knew I was in so much pain. So glad to have someone as good as he is in my area. When I met Dr Chen and his staff 4 months ago I was suffering from severe back pain and unable to work or do any kind of physical activities. Dr Chen took X-rays of my back and showed me what was wrong and how he would fix the problem. Long story short I am now able to work and even exercise regularly with minimal back pain due to his treatments. Dr Chen and his staff are always attentive to my needs and are very kind and professional. I highly recommend Dr Chen for anyone suffering from chronic back pain like I was. Also I like that they use acupressure in their treatments too. Thanks Dr Chen for all you did for me you have been a life saver! read more

I never got past the receptionist. She was so cold and off-putting that I decided not to make an appointment. She was not willing to check authorization through my health insurance and was adamant the first appointment would be $60. Back to searching for an office with a friendly front office staff. Too bad, sounds like the Chiropractors were good. read more

The doctors at Compassion Chiropractic are awesome. They listen to you and work on the areas you are having problems with. They are very patient to work on you. Very personable. The best part is the atmosphere there. It is very relaxing and they play christian music. I highly recommend them. So very happy with this office. My boys have been coming too and they are feeling great from so many sports injuries. No headaches for any of us in awhile. Yay!! read more

Dr John Chen's office is not only beautiful but he is the best chiropractor I have come across and I've been to many. He is compassionate, spends a lot of time with you, he is extremely kind and caring. I have been going to Dr Chen for 8 years. I don't want to go to any other chiropractor. We now live in the San Francisco area and I make sure I make an appointment with Dr Chen when I am in this area. You will not be disappointed with making an appointment at Compassion Chiropractic. I highly recommend this office! read more

Long story short, we were rear-ended by a large heavy duty truck while stopped a red light. My wife suffered noticeable neck and back injury while i suffered shoulder, left arm and back injury. We were highly referred to visit Dr. Chen for rehab therapy. Our first visit appointment was easily made over the phone. The front desk assistant was very courteous and accommodating. During the first visit, Dr. Chen took thorough examination of our injuries. He took time to explain our expectations for future visits. During our next visit, to our pleasant surprise, Dr. Chen walked us through very detailed x-ray images to point out the area of the rehab focus and also allowed us to visually see the extent of the injuries. Already 1 full month into the sessions, my wife and I already feel the direct impact of Dr. Chen's therapy. My neck pain and headache has subsided noticeably. Why we like Compassion Chiropractic - The facility is very clean (almost new and latest equipments) - The wait times for appointments are practically none. Very punctual. - Dr. Chen always performs the therapy himself - The front desk and Dr. Chen himself are always welcoming and pleasant - Very friendly and accommodating staff (arranging future visits) - Open on Saturdays! - Plenty of parking (large parking lot) even during peak days/hours If you are suffering from any muscle or joint pain regardless of cause, give Dr. Chen a visit. His skill sets are tremendous and will have immediate relief. I have been to chiropractors in the past (many times) and most simply put you on a massage machine and let you be on your way which is ineffective and waste of time. However, Dr. Chen uses direct hands-on approach in adjusting your pain points along with the machine which have been incredibly relieving. My wife and I are so glad to have found Dr. Chen! He is the best chiropractor in Irvine if not Southern California and we live in Inland Empire as proof. read more

I have suffered from mild-moderate head/neck/shoulder tension and back pain for years and have tried various treatments that have helped temporarily. After a bad flare up of tension headaches, I finally tried Compassion Chiropractic sessions. It has been 4 months now, and my head/neck tension and back pain have noticeably improved under Dr. Chen's care. I still need maintenance visits to control my recurring tension issues, but it is worth it for the pain relief and improved quality of life. Thanks Dr. Chen and Compassion Chiropractic team! read more

{My first review for Compassion Chiropractic (before they moved) was two years ago; now I still go to clinic all the time and it's still my favorite Chiropractic clinic!} Dr. Chen is the best chiropractor that I have ever met! He is a doctor with enthusiasm, professionalism, and friendliness. I'm only 21 years old right now, BUT I had a severe back pain since 18 years old. I know it might sound funny and stupid; however the truth is that I always felt like my body functions as a 40-year-old lady. I started working in a bakery back in high-school; it was a tough job because I had to stand for 8-hour straight without taking a break. Wrapping a bread in a same posture and movement everytime was SUPER TIRING and ANNOYING. After working in a bakery for 2 years, I decided to quit and work in a restaurant as a server. It was even more tiring and it harmed my back a lot; sometimes I can't even sleep well at night because of the back pain and neck pain. (I know right!! I am only 21 years old!!!) I had been to a chiropractor that was being promoted on LivingSocial; however, that was not a very pleasant experience because their facilities are old, receptionist was not nice to you, and all they want from a patient is money. After the bad experience I had in that chiropractic (for privacy concern, I am not going to tell what's the name of the office.. but usually when Livingsocial has a deal for chiropractic package, don't expect you will have a good experience...) I was really disappointed at chiropractors in general. After hearing my bad experience at a chiropractic clinic, a friend from church recommended me to visit Dr. Chen's office. I'm so glad that I can still meet person like Dr. Chen who really cares about the patient and tries his best to adjust you. The office facilities are new and clean, and the music is pleasuring and relaxing. At first I was kinda worried since I'm still in college, and I'm a poor student... Good thing was that after being advised, I found out UCI student health center actually does cover for a chiropractic referral!! (yay!!) and to be honest, the price @ Compassion Chiropractic is reasonable. You pay for what you get. I had no problem with my insurance and copay. Now I have been going to the clinic for half year now; I felt my back and neck pain have been reduced a lot. Chiropractic requires you to constantly do the exercise and get adjusted/advised from the doctor. Now I can sleep well, and don't really have to worry about the neck/back pain everytime after I took my midterms/finals from my classes!! I highly recommended Dr, Chen if anyone is interested in visiting a chiropractor!! ;) read more

I'm writing to express my highest recommendation for Dr. Chen. I've been seeing chiropractors for the past 15 years. Dr. Chen's is by far the best and most talented chiropractor I've had the benefit of seeing. Over the past 3 years he has successfully treated numerous back and neck issues so that I could again be pain-free. Besides being technically excellent, Dr. Chen is a genuinely caring doctor. He also has a kind and courteous team supporting him. read more

I'm writing to express my highest recommendation for Dr. Chen. He explains your treatment he makes sure you understand and he can adjust like no other. I have made an improvement in my sleep and posture.Thank you Doctor Chen!! read more

love everyone here. Staff is kind and prompt while Dr. Chen has done an unreal job getting me back up and running. All true professionals and I would recommend to anyone. Thanks again!!!! read more

I went Compassion Chiropractic after a minor vehicular accident. Dr. Chen, Dr. Geoff and entire staff has been professional and accommodating with my requests. The initial meeting was getting the details of the problem. I was pleased right from my initial meeting with Dr. Geoff, where he took an X-ray and interviewed me to get the details of my problem. The recommended treatment and exercises were not only relaxing but they relieved me of my discomfort. Getting a schedule setup is really easy as well. And once you arrive at their clinic, waiting is nonexistent. I am very happy with the service I received from this place. Highly recommended! read more

I was referred to Dr Chen after I had a Thai massage and middle-aged was hurting non stop. Dr Chen did very detailed examination, understanding all my health history before he started the treatment. After a few adjustment, the pain was just gone. Now I still go to Dr Chen once a month, cause long hours of working in front of the computer, my neck and shoulders are tensed all the time. Every time I walk out of Dr Chen office, I just feel so relieved and alive again. Thanks to Dr Chen. read more

I highly recommend this office to anyone who is suffering pain! Dr. Chen and Dr. Hargett are professional and caring! The staffs are kind, and the environment is clean and peaceful. I have suffered shoulder and lower back pain. After looking for their help, I feel much, much better! I can feel the situation is improving. They also give suggestions to maintain rather than keep you in the office. Also in this COVID period, they do what they can to ensure everyone's safety. read more

I used to get constant neck pains and headaches. The pain was so severe, I was taking migraine meds and Tylenol daily which did not help. The next step I was considering was acupuncture but was too terrified so I decided to give chiropractic a shot before doing so. I found Dr. Chen on Yelp. I like how he doesn't pressure you into buying a life time membership and allows me to schedule appointments as needed. (Which by the way, a previous chiropractor's office I visited before I found Dr. Chen tried to sell me into a lifetime membership with them.) Upon the first visit with Dr. Chen he will be very thorough all/educate you and also give insight about him. I liked that, knowing my Doctor on a personal level always breaks the ice and puts you at ease. Dr. Chen shared with me that he studied acupuncture and is knowledgeable with pressure points. Some of the adjustments Dr. Chen will use includes pressure points which I really like since I feel like I'm getting both an adjustment along with some acupuncture/acupressure therapy. I've been seeing Dr. Chen for almost 9 months now mainly because I believe adjustments every once in a while is necessary similar to tune ups or dental visits. If you have been suffering any type of back or neck pains and is considering acupuncture, give Dr. Chen a visit before doing so. You won't be disappointed. By the way, my fiancé who has been suffering back pains for years is also a patient of Dr. Chen (my referral). He shared with me recently that he also noticed ever since we've been seeing Dr. Chen his back pains are very rare and never as severe as they were in the past. Thank you so much for all your work Dr. Chen. I would highly recommend you! read more

I came here for several months after my car accident and was very pleased with my experience! Dr. Chen and Dr. Geoff are both very experienced and knowledgeable doctors. They genuinely care about each patient and it was always a joy talking to them. The staff are friendly and attentive, and I always left each appointment feeling great! read more

Dr. John Chen and his team are great at making clients feel good after each and every visit. I've got a lot of prior injuries and nagging issues from playing ice hockey, falling off motorcycles, fighting myself in my sleep, and worst of all, poor posture at work. So when I go to Dr. Chen, I always know that I am in good hands. Dr. Chen is able to accurately diagnose the issue, then apply his knowledge and training to make my body feel usable again. He also has x-ray machines, ultrasound, drop-tables, and a lot of other wonderful tools to help him get clients back up to speed. I highly recommend Dr. Chen for chiropractic matters, and have referred my colleagues and clients to him. Oh and Dr. Chen also has masseuse on premise for days when your tense muscles make you go Mr. Roboto. read more

I used to go here when i was pregnant. i had serious back pain and tightness shoulders. Dr. Chen was very professional and friendly. he made my pregnancy so easy and comfortable!!! recommend all the pregos to come here. Dr. Chen will have solution for you guys!! now i still go there to see Dr. Chen once a week for adjustment and massage since my baby boy is getting heavier and my arms are painful sometimes.. read more

I have been treating for serval months. especially thanks to Dr.chen and Dr.Geoff for their wonderful and skilled treatment that I felt so much better now. read more

Dr. John Chen is such a caring chiropractor​ I have ever met. He knows what he's doing and always have a genuine​ smile on him the whole time. His facility is nice and clean, staffs are always welcoming you. They have a thorough consultation and x-ray at your first visit, then they spend a ​tremendous amount of time to explain your x-ray and let you know what exercises you should do on your own at home. You don't need to have problems to go see him, I go from time to time to get my back adjusted for maintenance purpose. read more

Service and hours are outstanding. The intake is the best part and should not be wasted. Dr. Chen is extremely thorough and the recommended stretches and exercises... follow them. I didn't and had to go back for tweaks. I liked the friendly reminders to do the stretches without a lecturing tone, or pushy sales I've experienced elsewhere. As for hours, after work and Saturday is available. Makes such a difference with a busy schedule. For more great reviews, checkout the old location onYelp (Odyssey). read more

Loved the new office! The new space is clean and spacious and even closer to my house now! Yay! I've been going to Dr. Chen for a while now. He has always been very professional and humorous. It's always a delight to pay Dr. Chen a visit since I not only get rid of my nagging office desk back pain, you also get a good conversation out of it. Dr. Chen will always tell you how you should exercise, stretch, and take care of yourself to feel better. I think to him, the less you need to see him, he actually feels like he has successfully helped you. Kudos and keep up the good work! read more

Dr. Chen helped me with my back and neck pains. He did immediate treatment to stabilize me and then he set me on the path to being stable all the time w/out coming in a lot of constant treatment. Very pleased. read more

The doctor is really professional with patient. I had a quality sleep after seeing him. read more

Dr. Chen is a really great doctor and he truly cares about the health of his patients. During the first appointment Dr. Chen and his staff do a complete evaluation of your current health (which includes x-rays). Then, at the next appointment, he goes over all your x-rays and provides a complete report of findings (ROF). He really explains everything to make sure you understand your current state, why it might be that way, and what to do to fix the issues at hand. I felt really taken care of and not once did I feel like he was trying to squeeze money out of me. Dr. Chen is definitely in this business to help people feel their best and be as healthy as possible. If you are trying to find a good chiropractor in the area I seriously recommend coming here to try out Dr. Chen and his AMAZING team...I can't say enough kind things. read more

The doctors here have been treating me for several months. They have a thorough analysis of your current condition and are all about lifestyle changes outside the office along with treatment inside the office. They have helped me overcome back, body alignment, and even knee issues. Everyone at the office is super friendly and organized read more

This place is amazing. I've been to other chiropractors and felt like they just wanted me in n out rather than listening to what was wrong. I was a little worried with everything going on about the sanitation but that was quickly put to rest with all of the precautions they've taken as far as cleanliness and sanitation go. All in all an extremely professional and place chiropractic office. Highly recommend! read more

Friendly staff, exceptional chiropractors. Completely straightforward with their methods and work with you on a plan to meet your goals. Highly recommend this place if you have any chiropractic needs. read more

I've been going to Compassion Chiropractic for about 8 months now and this review is long overdue. I initially came in because I had messed up my wrist practicing yoga and after months it was not getting any better at all. I'm not really the kind of person to reach out when I need help, I'd far prefer for things to just get better on their own, (wouldn't we all :) ) but I was desperate. I heard about this place through my co-worker who had just gotten through her first couple of visits at Compassion Chiropractic and raved about the experience. When she showed me the paperwork she was sent home with and I noticed it included wrist stretches, I thought, maybe they could help. Since I have been coming to the office I have been treated by Dr. Geoff. At the first visit he took a detailed assessment and x-rays, and at the second visit he went over his findings, recommended stretches, specific exercises, and did an adjustment. Everything was so thorough! He even emailed me with what he went over, including pictures of my not so straight spine. Fast forward to the 6 week mark, and my wrist pain had gone from excruciating when I would bend it, to about 85% normal. (It did eventually recover to 100% as long as I continue to stretch it.) The curve in my neck had also improved which has resulted in a lot less neck pain and stiffness. This is all fine and great, and definitely reason enough to visit Compassion Chiropractic and never leave, but I've found there are definitely other reasons why this place is amazing. It's all about Dr. Geoff and Dr. Chen. Dr. Geoff's presence is just so calming. He is very understanding, incredibly attentive and overall just cheerful. You can feel that he cares and will always take the time you need. If you ask a question, he will make eye contact, answer your question, and then educate you further. He does this all while digging his elbow into the most sensitive areas of your back, or while pressing every last ounce of air out of your lungs - but you know you will walk out of there feeling better, so it's okay. In all seriousness, Dr. Geoff is the first Dr. I have seen in a long time and I'm so grateful I found such an accepting and kind person to treat me at this very humbling and vulnerable time in my life (injuries are no fun!) In fact, he was very much a catalyst for a lot of other positive health changes that I've made these last 8 months. Support can be an amazing thing and that is what you will find with Dr. Geoff. Dr. Geoff also treats my husband. Physical therapy had only gotten him so far, but his shoulder and knee have felt tremendously better since he's been coming in for regular adjustments. I've been adjusted by Dr. Chen a couple of times as well and you can't help but just love the guy. You can hear his laugh throughout the office and when Dr. Chen laughs, you laugh. One time he massaged my forearm which was one of the most painful experiences of my life, but then he said something funny, and we both started to crack up, which quite possibly prevented me from crying. I feel like this tactic is intentional :D He will ask if you have been stretching, show understanding when you have not, and then remind you that it will help, and that taking a nice long walk also helps :) Love him. To round this out, here are a few more things to note. They are open until 7PM most nights. They are open on Saturday mornings. They will text you with your appointment times. They are not mean when you cancel, reschedule, or are running 5 minutes late. And they are vocally appreciative of you choosing them among any other chiropractic office available to you. Bottom line, they are the best. If you are in pain, make an appointment, they can probably help with the pain, and then you as well can experience the additional benefits of being in the presence of Dr.'s who truly do care about you. Thank you guys, I'm glad you are in my life! read more

Dr. Chen is an amazing Chiropractor! He's the first chiropractor I've been to where I have tangibly felt a difference in my body/sense of well being after he adjusts me. He doesn't just adjust the spine & the neck. He adjusts the limbs, down to the fingers. He does so with joy and genuine care. The atmosphere is friendly yet professional. The staff are also great. They really work with you with scheduling. I would highly recommend Dr. Chen and his team. read more

I came to see Dr. Chen due to a sciatica diagnosis from an orthopedic doctor. The ortho wanted to to use spinal cortisone injections to alleviate the pain. I wanted to try alternative approaches first...enter Dr Chen. He was able to end years of pain inside of 6 months time...it was absolutely amazing! I will never use another chiropracter as long as Dr Chen is available! read more

Dr john and dr jeff have given me my vitality and ambition back. I am so happy that I found compassion chiropractic. I look forward to it every week. They have fixed my posture, and my emotions have been at it's highest in 3 years. Thank you for all you both do -Q love love love! read more
