Dr. Pear is a warm, gracious, excellent chiropractor who I have seen for many years now. She has a staff that is well trained and who are equally qualified and kind healers. They listen carefully to what I need and want, and often I feel like a new person when I walk out of their office. If a quality chiropractor is what you are looking for, in a beautiful environment, Dr.ar will be that person. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. read more

This review is long overdue as I've been a patient of Dr. Pear's for months now, but nevertheless - these 5 stars are well deserved! Prior to seeing Dr. Pear, I'd never gone to a chiropractor - I was a bit nervous about the adjustments from all the horror stories I'd heard from others' experiences. Boy was I wrong! Dr. Pear took the time to walk me through the process, learn about my physical history, and even recommended some stretches I could do at home to help manage my ailments in between appointments. After my first session, I literally felt like a new person - so much relief of my pent up joints/muscles gone! I'm now on a regular schedule with Dr. Pear for maintenance and I look forward to it every time. She is so patient, great with her hands (the pre-adjustment massages are the perfect amount of pressure and relaxation), and knowledgeable about her work. If you're in need a great chiropractor, look no further - Dr. Pear and her staff are the best! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Pear and her staff, specifically Trinity. Dr. Pear is delightful and has a wonderful bedside manner. I had lots of questions as a chiropractic newbie. She was so patient and kind, and she talked me through everything. She is extremely knowledgeable! I have had chronic neck and back pain for years and I feel an improvement already. I truly feel that the treatment that I am getting is very customized to my medical needs. The office is extremely clean and patients are asked to wash their hands when they arrive at the office. (Which I love!) There is a parking lot in the building , but I have been parking on Olympic and have had no trouble at all finding a spot and saving $$. I know the office is extremely busy so I plan ahead with appointments and I've had no trouble getting them. I highly recommend Dr. read more

Went to see Dr. Pear to help with back/neck injuries I've had for years. The office is just around the corner from my office so it's perfect to sneak out during lunch for a quick tweak. My 1st visit I noticed how calm the reception/lobby area was, I was asked to complete a couple of other forms of which I was told of before my arrival. Once that was done Dr. Pear introduced herself and walked me to the room. The room is large and also very calming, Dr. Pear went over my paperwork and was very clear as to what she was do for adjustments. During the procedure she would check to be sure I was OK. When we were done I had asked about future appointments she felt once a week was plenty...I was shocked just about every other Dr. would have you in every other day. Dr. Pear is a true professional that cares about her patients. read more

Debra Pear, DC - Chiropractic West - Lobby - Chiropractors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

As an ex swim athlete I have come into contact with many chiropractors. Dr Pear is by far the most considerate, thorough, knowledgeable and caring doctor I have had the pleasure of working with. All these reviews I have read (bar 1) are perfect examples of how wonderful this practice is. In my experience, you need a doctor to listen and then to guide you; and that's Dr Pear. read more

Dr. Pear - In a sea of Chiropractors, you stand out. My whole experience from speaking with Dr. Pear's team - Claudia womaning the front desk, the talented assistants like Danielle to Dr. Pear herself, every experience I've had here has been exceptional. I really feel like they take care of me and as a patient, leaving here feeling well cared and looked after is all that I can ask for. I had a previous adjustment with a different chiropractor that left me a little wary and concerned about adjustments. Dr. Pear listened to every concern and has an incredible bedside manner. Without even asking, she usually pinpoints my trouble areas to the T and even the ones that change week after week. When someone is a true healer you know it and that is Dr. Pear. She also has a passion for athletics and would be an excellent chiropractor for athletes as well. I give her my highest recommendation as a wonderful chiropractor!! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Pear for about a year now and have loved every part of my experience with her. Chronic back pain is terrible, but seeing a good chiropractor that doesn't push weekly adjustments is so helpful. Dr. Pear is very warm and easy to talk to, she's so helpful and truly just wants the best for you and your treatment. I would say her practice is more eastern - veering towards more massage therapy treatment than adjustments only. I used to live nearby but have moved to be 30 minutes away now and still make the drive often to see her because she's that good! read more

I found Dr. Pear while searching for a prenatal chiropractor. She is very knowledgable. She and her staff have been wonderful and she is also excellent with postnatal care. I always feel relaxed after my visits and recommend her to everyone! read more

You know... I haven't been to see Debra in over a year, but I still refer business to her because she really hooked it up for me. I have never been to another chiropractor and only saw her for treatment about a dozen times. The thing that impressed me is that she is pleasant to deal with and does not mess around. She's calm and laid back but does not lay it on thick with the new world zen talk like some people in the industry. There is no pressure and she is not pushy about trying to diagnose a bunch of obscure problems. You definitely will not encounter any stereotypical chiro quackery, and there is no pressure to buy packages or anything ridiculous like that. She helped to diagnose some minor scoliosis (I had x-rays done to confirm) and worked on my lumbar for me after things got a little sketchy from overdoing it at yoga class. Each session began in a separate room where a massage technician hooked me up to some little electrodes to stimulate the muscles and then gave a specialized mini-massage that focused on reducing the muscle tension in the region. Debra explained the adjustments before and during and there were no surprises. I also went back for an emergency visit about 6 months later when I pinched a nerve putting luggage in my car. Her therapy fixed me right up and I haven't needed to visit her since then, but if things get wacky again I've got her on speed dial. read more

No need to Yelp any further! If you're a researcher like me, and you're conducting your due diligence searching for the best chiropractic care in the area, you've found it! Dr. Pear is incredibly knowledgeable, highly professional, extremely thorough, and truly cares for her patients well-being and health. I am a former professional athlete with old injuries and significant wear and tear resulting in very uncomfortable lower back and hip issues. I had seen two chiropractors for these issues prior to Dr. Pear. The first was all business squeezing in as many patients as possible with little to no attention or care. The second was attentive, but not very skilled or knowledgeable--something I didn't realize until I received Dr. Pear's treatments. In addition to the fantastic chiropractic treatments, this office is staffed with wonderful, genuine people that made me feel welcome from the very first visit. The administrative staff explained thoroughly all information regarding costs per visit as well as my insurance coverage. Dr. Pear's assistants who provide electric stim and massage (HUGE ADDITIONAL SERVICE) to help loosen and prepare you for adjustments are all incredibly nice and very skilled. You, and your body, will be very pleased with your decision to see Dr. Pear. read more

I've had back problems ranging from moderate to severe for about a decade and a half. I hadn't been to a chiropractor in a few years, however. But after getting pregnant, and waddling around & ignoring sciatica pain for a few weeks, I was motivated to find a chiro here in Santa Monica. I was hugely impressed with her thoroughness. She also seems very knowledgeable about chiropractic care for pregnant women. All it took was one visit & one big adjustment from her, and my sciatic completely disappeared. (I still continue to see her for my lower back pain, though.) And as the previous reviewer mentioned, Debra has a fabulous bedside manner. The people that work there are SO nice, also - Dennis, who does the pre-massage and Allison who does a fabulous prenatal massage, as well.. It just occurred to me that I haven't gotten the name of the woman at the front desk - very warm & friendly. read more

She's amazing!!! I always feel like a new person when I walk out of this office! She doesn't try to push you to get more treatments that you don't need! I can't say enough about Dr Pear and everyone on her amazing staff! read more

Debra Pear is one of the most skilled chiropractors to treat me. Her approach to making corrections in structure is targeted and effective. She takes time to prepare the patient for an adjustment with soft tissue manipulation and mobilization. Because her work is targeted and specific the corrections last. Her work is tailored to each patient and her goal is to get the patient well and functioning as soon as possible. I have referred many people to Debra and they have all reported to me she is the real deal...a Chiropractor with ethics who does not require a commitment of 3 visits a week to help the healing process and who clearly demonstrates a desire for the patient to get well quickly. read more

Truly Incredible staff. Hard to find genuinely nice people to make you feel at ease and understood. Thank you to Dr. Pear, Elena, and Tanya! Always feel so welcomed here! read more

Dr. Pear is a skilled chiropractor and her treatment was effective, however I stopped going after she made a judgmental an unkind remark regarding my life and career situation, which I have worked incredibly hard to improve at a high personal cost. I felt belittled and disrespected by her unprofessional behavior. Her receptionist and assistant were lovely. read more

Dr. Pear and her staff and very good. They take the time understand your pain and where its coming from. Dr. Pear uses a combination of treatment with heat, electric stimulation, massage, stretching, and adjustment. She doesn't insist that you come back multiple times in one week or month and really takes an interest in you getting better. I would definitely recommend to anyone with back pain! read more

I've been coming to Dr. Pear for over 10 years! She's incredibly warm, professional and an expert when it comes to adjustments. She's also worked with many elite athletes and has helped me with some other injuries including providing great referrals. Tanya, the Office Manager, is super friendly and helpful with making appointments and figuring out ways to get in you in when you're experiencing acute pain. The massage therapists are also AMAZIng and have incredible knowledge about body mechanics so they're able to provide targeted treatment. Roger is the best! read more

Dr. Pear and her staff helped me with some severe backpain I had during my pregnancy. She used massage combined with adjustments and I got a lot of relief. She also has a really nice bedside manner, as does her whole staff (she has especially nice front desk staff). They also take insurance - Blue Cross at least, I'm not sure about others - which is really nice. read more

Debra is a great chiro and helpful for pregnant women with sciatic pain. Her assistant is also very nice and great abd rubbing out those kinks. read more

Love their massage therapist Juan, receptionist Tonya and Dr. Pear! Very professional and comfortable office!

I started seeing Dr. Pear about 4 years ago because I was having back problems. Nothing crazy but needed a good adjustment and she was close to my office so I could go during lunch. Since then I've moved offices and now work 10 miles away but still make the drive to see Dr. Pear. She's very professional, knows what she's doing and has a good bedside manner. Dr. Pear is especially knowledgeable with pain associated with sports. She helped me through my aches and pains with my first half marathon a few years ago and then my first triathlon this past year. She's an athlete herself (avid cyclist and runner) and not only gives good adjustments but also gives good recommendations on how to stretch and better your training. The whole team at Chiropractic West is very friendly and accommodating. Anytime anyone asks me for a chiropractor recommendation, I will always send them to Dr. Pear! read more

I was referred to Dr. Pear by my rolfer, Bob Alonzi, the man who fixed my supposedly incurable back pain after a year of ineffective PT at Cedars-Sinai following a bad car accident. Dr. Pear is HIS chiropractor....could there be a better recommendation ? I've had numerous serious injuries to my back since I was a teenager...that's decades....and have been to four or five chiropractors over the years, some of whom insisted I needed to see them once a week OR MORE for months....which in retrospect I don't really think is necessary, Dr. Pear agrees that over-treatment is NOT a good idea. Dr. Pear is one of the very best practitioners I have ever experienced. Everything positive mentioned in the other reviews is absolutely true.......beautiful place, all the staff including TANYA at the front desk the sweetest, everything so nice. But the best is that, although I've had adjustments from others that have gone out on the way back to my car from the office, the adjustments I've received from the beauteous and kind Dr. Pear offer instant relief and LAST. If I could give 10 stars, I would. read more

I used to go to Dr. Pear until I moved to the Valley. And in my (what feels like) unending search for a chiropractor of the same caliber and holistic approach, I've realized she and her team are quite the find. Other chiropractors briefly greet you, make adjustments and walk out. But Dr. Pear, for lack of a better description, kind of "primes" your body for adjustment. She wants the best possible results, so she may have staff massage you, perhaps do the electric pulses, etc... It's not just "hello," adjust, "good-bye." She also educates you about what's causing your pain and gives you exercises to do at home. In a nutshell, she actually cares about her patients. read more

This is a mediocre place and nothing exceptional really. This is a nice place: Premises kept clean and quiet. They are doing good massages. They seem to know about back pains. No matter what you think about whether chiropractic is a science or not, they definitely helped me. There is something logical and works and I am sensing that they figured those. Probably, why they can call themselves as Dr. nowadays, although they may not understand and treat everything safely on skeleton and/or muscle function. I guess this is the hot debate between chiropractors and Medical studies and doctors. We, as public, will follow them. Finding parking is a not easy. It was not so difficult in my earlier appointments but the last one was truly horrible experience. I kept going around until I had fonud one but I was late for my session in the end. Thus, parking might be a hassle. It might all be depending on the time of the day you are going to this neighborhood. They charge double for the very first visit and the following visits are their "usual" charge. It adds up significantly if you are going there with a problem in your first visit, which is probably why you make an appointment with them and you will go here more than once. So, it will add up, if you need to watch your budget. They accepted my insurance. You can not be late for your appointment. They "punish" you with about 3 movie tickets price as "no show fee". I was late for my appointment and charged with this fee in the following session. For me, this is not professional. There are a few other things I experienced while there and I am going to another place next time. It seems there are a number of other chiropractors getting good reviews. I am hoping that they don't punish you for being late (not really a case of "no show"). I admitted that it was my mistake and apologized but did not help. That is this place is getting two starts from me and I am not recommending this place. read more
