Dr Garrett and his team are all amazing! I started seeing Dr G. In 2020 after a car accident. When I started treatment I used a walker and cane to help me walk. Fairly quickly they were no longer needed. Im still a patient today. If you need services this team is the best! read more

Was in need of a new chiropractor moving from LA to San Diego so I looked up one who specializes in applied kinesiology and found this guy. Impossible to get a hold of doesn't reply to email pr forms and didn't call back when promised so I called to follow up. Only to find he only takes patients that are represented by an attorney. Smells greedy. read more

I've been dealing with crippling anxiety and depression. All the doctors I've met just wanted to give me medications. After two visits with Dr. Garrett, he did what every other doctor wasn't able to do in the last year! A completely different approach, I was a little skeptical to be honest when my friend told me to go see Dr. Garrett but I went in with a open mind! For the first time I slept the whole night without waking up in impending doom and not being able to deal with the day ahead of me! Just like that, I am myself again! Thank you Dr. Garrett. It's good to feel myself again! read more

I reached out to him to get my bills paid from an insurance company. The lady that answered the phone was very rude hung up on me without even give me her name. Worst customer service I have ever had especially for me doctors office. I will never go back there definitely will be making a claim with the Better Business Bureau no one should be treated like that especially for me doctors office I will tell everyone not to go here in the way that they treated me is not OK read more

Such a wonderful and caring Doctor! Even after no longer being a patient of his for insurance reasons only :(, He is still such a caring and concerned Dr. Isabel and Brenda treat me so well, they are all just truly awesome people!!! Thank you Dr. G!! read more

Dr. Garrett was recommended to me as a good practitioner of applied kinesiology. I went to the clinic since I had some pain in my neck and frequent headaches. Dr. Garret and his staff were very pleasant. But after 7 sessions there were no positive dynamics on treatment outcomes. The Doctor didn't want to see my MRI and other surveys. He performed some kinesiology tests and did manipulations similar to what any chiropractor does. All this took about 30 minutes, sometimes only 15 minutes. Quite expensive for such a short session, which included the promotion of applied kinesiology and the argument that traditional scientific methods treat only the symptoms, and not the person. The doctor could not tell me whether there would be an effect of the treatment or not. I got the impression that he has no course of treatment and no methods for checking the result, except for my own feelings. Unfortunately, it was a waste of money and time for me. Perhaps this will help someone if you strongly believe in it. Be well! read more

Dr. Brian is very professional, friendly, and knowledgable! I was feeling miserable for two weeks; low back pain. Dr. Brian "fixed me", lol. Thank you so much Doctor Brian! 2 days after seeing Dr. Brian I feel like my problem was actually happening for a little longer than 2 weeks because I just feel like new now. Thank you again!!! Also thanks to Brenda who is a sweetheart! read more

I have been seeing Dr Garrett for probably 10 years. I travel to see him when my local Chiro is unable to figure out a major or chronic issue that i am challenged with. Dr Garrett is able to pin point the problem and relieve my symptoms on just about every visit and he does so without any forceful adjustments. His experience and broad range of knowledge is greater than any other health practitioner I have worked with. I highly recommend him. read more

I went to Dr. Garrett on a recommendation from a downtown co-worker who was also a fitness enthusiast. Running 50-70 miles a week, he knew I needed good care! Dr. G has now been my chiro for over 4 years, helping me through ankle, back, knee, and thyroid issues. He diagnosed me with an overused spleen with instructions to slow to moderate exercise. I got a blood test done by an M.D.- who gave me the same diagnosis!!! Hyperthyroidism and overused organs- who told me to do only moderate exercise. He has helped me through ankle sprains, back sprains, snowboarding accidents, plantar fasciitis - through regular manipulation treatments, applied and sports kinesiology, nutritional recommendations, massage, nerve tests, ultrasound tests and I even had accupuncture covered by my insurance in the office! Now I continue to support Dr. Garrett and the office through community events, promotional activities and office work. I highly recommend Dr. Garrett for any injury, pain, headache, bellyache, organ issue and common cold. He always knows how to solve it and I've always come out feeling much better and remaining healthy in mind and body. Dr. G is good for the soul. read more

Dr. Garrett is a true healer. He is patient and tries to understand where the problem truly is. His wealth of knowledge is unmatched in his profession and extends beyond your average chiropractor and/or kinesiologist. read more

Been going to Dr. Garrett for a few months due to my car accident. Very friendly front desk, owners and of course Dr. Garrett. Done wonderful treatments on the areas that was giving me discomfort and pain. Would highly recommend Dr. Garrett as a choice for chiropractic care. read more

I was in a very bad accident in 2008. Dr. Garrett was able to help me regain feeling in my legs and arms. I did not have to have surgery which was what I was told was a must by " others". I am so glad I have had the pleasure to meet him and change my health with his help. read more

I trust Dr Garrett do get my son back in line when sport injuries slow him down. My 11 year old feels very comfortable during the visits.

Dr. Garrett is the man! He helped me get rid of sciatic pain in my leg about 5 years ago, and I've been coming back for adjustments ever since! It's also awesome they have a great girl for the massages! Dani is great and I see her for massages about once a month. Thank you guys! read more

I have to admit I was hesitant to go to a chiropractor at first. But from the moment I stepped into Garrett Downtown Chiropractic, I felt welcome and relaxed. The staff is very friendly and Dr. Garrett is simply amazing! I was having back problems due to my pregnancy that wouldn't go away and I wasn't able to take medicine. After treatments with Dr. Garrett my pain began to subside and I was able to enjoy my pregnancy again! I'm so thankful because I was in such intense pain. My husband even started going to him once he saw how great I felt! We both love that they offer acupuncture and massage too! Go see Dr. Garrett..you will not be disappointed!! read more

You can call him Dr G. or even Dr. OG, either way, he is definitely the Yoda of the Kinesiology world! There is no pain, physical or emotional, to big or too small that Dr. Garrett will not look at and find the root cause of. The science behind what he does is completely mind blowing. He is friendly, well educated and really cares about the well being of his patients. Plus he takes insurance and even has a few massage therapists on staff for that extra little touch ... no pun intended. read more

This is the best chiro I have ever been to. He will completely work with YOUR needs. The fact that he is a Kinesiologist is such a huge plus. He is the first one I have worked with that was also a chiropractor. He opens early or stays late for you, and will totally work with you and your insurance company to fight for what you need. Thanks for everything doc, it has been a great experience. Bruce read more

Dr. Brian Garrett might be San Diego's best kept secret. My teenage daughter recieved a concussion from cheer. Four months later and many co-pays and dr visits later her headaches, balance, and focus were none the better. She has missed months of school. She had been attending a concussion clinic, PT, nuerology, etc... nothing was helping her. Then I was introduced to Dr. Garrett and her life changed. Within one Kinesiology visit something shifted for the positive. Her headaches, balance and focus are greatly improved. Even the nuero doctor noticed and was amazed. Today was only her second appointment, and I can see hours later that she is doing even better. read more

I hurt my neck before coming to San Diego. Dr Garrett got me in and fixed my neck and arm pain. He is a very interesting person with a lot of knowledge. Wish I could find a chiropractor/kinesiologist like him in my home town. read more

Suffered a car accident earlier this year. Dr. Garrett has been amazing! Even though I know it's a long road to recovery but with Dr. Garrett's care I know I'm in good hands. The office is conveniently located. Parking can be found all around plus there's parking in the blank that it is located at and they validate parking. The staff is great and friendly. Brenda is great at making you feel comfortable and reminding you about your appointments. Isabel, the Office Manager is professional and will make sure you're getting the best care. Overall I highly recommend Dr. Garrett and his staff, where you will surely be treated like family. read more

Today my husband Tobias went in to get an adjustment. Dr. Brian took the time to talk, REALLY find out the problem and adjust him. He is amazing. I highly suggest for anyone to go. We are new patients and will forever be. THANK YOU DR. BRIAN. YOU'RE THE SHIT! read more

What a great guy. Brian really cares about you feeling your best. I will refer him to everyone I know. Thanks Brian

I can't even describe how grateful I am for Dr. Garrett. I was introduced to him when I was facing back surgery. After months of excruciating pain, and countless visits to doctors, physical therapy, chiropractic, massage I went to see him. He squeezed me in same day. It only took two appointments and my back pain was literally gone. I now have referred so many people to him. He is one of a kind. His continual pursuit of knowledge to help relieve people's pain is truly outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Garrett. You'll wish you had found him years ago! read more

My wife has been seeing Dr. Garrett for the last few years following her back surgery and although some of the treatments sounded a bit outside of the box it really seemed to help her. So when I began to suffer from some sudden back pain recently I finally decided to give him a go to see if he could help me as well. I was immediately struck by both his honesty and ability to effectively communicate how he was treating me. in most cases with minimal "adjustment", which was a big concern with going to a Chiropractor for me. He has now treated me on 3 separate occasions and in all cases has been able to "fix" me in a single visit. I cannot recommend this man highly enough and if you are suffering this should be your first stop. read more

Dr. Garrett has treated me twice for TMJ flare-ups with applied kinesiology. The first treatment in 2014 or 2015 gave me relief for about 3 to 4 years, and I just recently returned for a second treatment in 2018. At the time of my first visit, I couldn't open my mouth enough to bite into a sandwich. The applied kinesiology treatment relaxed my jaw completely in about 10 minutes. This year (2018) the symptoms were getting a bit acute again (intermittent stabbing jaw pain, ear pain), so I returned for the 2nd treatment. So far, my jaw is relaxed, ear pain is gone, no stabbing pain. I so appreciate his mastery of this alternative medicine technique and highly recommend his services. Prior to visiting him, I had tried another chiropractor and obtained no relief. (Physical therapy was helpful and I continue to use the PT's recommended jaw exercises to manage my TMJ condition). read more

I found Dr. Garrett after moving to San Diego, and he is fabulous. I love kinesiology and it is hard to find a kinesiologist, let alone a good one. Usually I like a recommendation for a kinesiologist, but no one in San Diego was able to give me one, so I went with my gut and Google search, and I am glad I did. Dr. Garrett really thorough, he will take the time needed to solve your puzzle. Even my husband (who has never seen a kinesiologist, but hears me rant and rave about my visits) went see him after he threw his back and he was pleasantly surprised and said, "Yeah that was pretty cool." (Which in man speak means it was really good.) If you are like me and are very cautious about who you let work on you, Dr. Garrett is a safe bet. He is also full of stories, if you like stories. read more

I've been experiencing chronic back and shoulder pain ever since I was involved in an auto mobile accident a few months ago. I was referred to Dr. Garret by my attorney and at first, I was a little uncomfortable, but during my first visit I noticed how friendly and compassionate the doctor and his staff were to me. Now I feel like I have my life back, my spirits are lifted and I will be forever grateful to this wonderful doctor who really listened to me, thoroughly reviewed my medical records, and on my first visit came up with a proposal to help me. They are very convenient, but they are also extremely knowledgeable and kind. Took all the time to go over my questions. I always leave Doctor Garret's office feeling much better and energized. Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit you won't regret it. read more

I've had chronic lower back pain for years but recently had aggravated my back to the point I could hardly walk. I was in pain for almost two weeks and once I felt like I could no longer handle it, I went to see my PCP who prescribed me some steroids and sent me on my way. Frustrated, I googled chiropractors around my location and found Dr Garrett's office was in the same building that I work in. I walked into the office on my lunch hour without an appointment and the friendly receptionist said I could be seen right away! Dr Garrett knew immediately what the problem was. He took the time to educate me on many things most of which sounded like a foreign language to me but regardless, I laid on his table for what was no more than 30 seconds and after a quick stretch and tap, the pain had completely disappeared the next day. Dr Garrett was incredibly knowledgeable and caring of my condition. His office staff is super friendly and so welcoming. My coworkers who saw me hobbling around the office for weeks thought they witnessed a miracle! I am so grateful for Dr Garrett and his team! read more

Dr Garrett's touch and adjustments are magical. He is not an ordinary chiropractor just cracking backs, but a sports kinesiologist, nutritionist, and neurology specialist. Please go see him before you partake in any type of surgery. I highly recommend his expertise please go see him with any of your physical ailments. read more

I recently incurred neck injuries from a car accident and was on the hunt for a good chiropractor. Not only is Dr. Garrett a GREAT chiropractor, but he has a solution and a fix for any aches and pains you may be experiencing. I've seen 3 other chiropractors before and never really felt much of a difference in how I felt until I was treated by Dr. Garrett. Even within hours of my first treatment I was feeling better and more energetic! I honestly could not believe it. They also offer massages as well which is an added plus. I am physically active so I get a lot of muscle soreness and this is a great addition to his practice. Highly recommended!! read more

Dr. Garrett is not a crack em whack em chiropractor. He is a true healer who is so knowledgable in applied kinesiology. He is a true healer and definitely cares about his patients. I wouldn't be able to work in my profession if it wasn't for him. So grateful for him! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Garrett's for quite some time. He and his staff are the best. Once, when I was to have a major surgery the next day, Dr. Garrett said he could make a home visit as I was in severe pain to even drive. Bad knees run in my family (genetic) and w/o Dr. Garrett's maintenance I'm quite sure I would've had to have knee surgery by now; 2 of my sisters already have done so. read more

Been seeing Dr. G for over a decade. I see him whenever I have flair ups and need adjustment. Couldn't live without his help!

Dr. Garrett actually takes the time each visit to examine you, ask you how you are doing and then implements treatment based on your responses. He actually listens to you and your needs and cares. I had a back surgery a few years ago and my left leg went numb and I suffered from what they call "drop foot" where my left foot stopped working. It never fully recovered, limited range of motion and weakness. Since seeing Dr. Garrett, most of the numbness is gone and I've regain most of the strength and mobility in my foot that I thought I would never get back. I also suffer from Migraines and pain in several areas. Since regular treatments the frequency of the headaches has dramatically reduces and I am in a lot less pain. He is a life changer & saver! read more

No words can express my appreciation for Dr. Garrett. I have a lot of old injuries and he has helped me immensely. He helped me once after hours when I was in such pain I could not even walk. I saw immediate improvement with him and continue to improve. I am really grateful to have found him. He really cares about his patients and goes out of his way. There are so few practitioners of kinesiology and we are so lucky to have him here in San Diego. By the way his office manager Brenda is phenomenal, friendly and helpful. She is always welcoming and so professional. I give his practice my highest recommendation. read more

It's about the whole body and soul. Dr. Garrett takes care of whatever is out of sync with you. Your body doesn't lie and Dr. Garrett is trained to pick up on those messages. It's amazing and relieving. When I first came to Dr. Garrett on the recommendation of a friend, I was very skeptical but Dr. Garrett asked me to give him a chance to align my body so I would not need to pop pain meds on a regular basis. I don't regret it. I am so very happy...and no need for pain meds! read more

I have had a slew of health problems from being rear ended 3 times in 1-1/2 years to having low back herniated discs, severely degenerative discs in my neck and low back to plantar fasciitis and torn ligaments in my shoulder. It's been tough managing my pain but I have to say that I was fortunate to be introduced to Dr. Garrett many years ago and he has truly been AMAZING. His innovative combination of sports kinesiology, muscle & nerve testing, combined with chiropractic care has been life changing for me. I was supposed to have several surgeries but have been able to not only avoid that dangerous path but also achieve a higher level of wellness and decreased pain thanks to his treatment. I even gained a 1/2 inch in height because he also worked on my scoliosis. I even got back to playing volleyball which was a miracle. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Garrett and his staff. Such friendly service...I consider them family. I also have been bringing my two kids to see him since they were very small. I would highly recommend them to anyone : ) Thank you! read more
