Dr. Greg and the staff at the Health Spot are knowledgeable, welcoming, and warm. They are also brilliant practitioners. Dr. Greg has quite literally changed the way my body works. Under his care i have gone from periodic back spasms to next to no issues whatsoever. I have even taken up a high impact sport! read more

Dr. Greg is outstanding. I've been seeing him for the past 8 years. I recently underwent a breast reduction to help alleviate neck and shoulder pain. Dr. Greg was beyond supportive and was kind enough to write a letter of recommendation to accompany my surgeons letter for (hopeful) health insurance approval. It was approved! Aside from Dr. Greg's easy and gentle disposition, his adjustments and muscular skeletal massage/manipulation are wonderful. I highly recommend Dr. Greg. read more

Words will never do this place justice. I came across this place after a glowing referral because of an accident. I found the most qualified, loving, compassionate people. Whatever you need whether it is a chiropractor, acupuncturist or masseuse they all go above and beyond! This place has turned into my special place that helps recenter me/heal while being treated like a friend or part of the family. COME HERE! You won't regret it :D read more

Absolutely phenomenal visit. I have FINALLY found a chiropractor that GENUINELY cares about the wellbeing of their patient.... The true wellbeing of their patient. He listens to what you tell him and then gets his hands on you (for lack of a better term). It is SO important for me to have a VERY hands on chiropractor because how is he or she going to know what's going on with you if they don't FEEL it. I cannot stand the chiropractors that have all those gadgets and toys as I like to call them in their office. That make you go through a circuit of gadgets before they adjust you. Dr. Greg is straight to the point. He understands the human body and is honestly a gift of a human being. He truly is. What a great way to start my day! So glad that I found him. If you have any doubts as to if he's good or not I'll say this. I've been to the same chiropractor since I was 11. When I've moved to different cities I've tried to find others because going home wasn't always convenient, and I've found some real quacks. So before I booked an apt with him I had my reservations as I had JUST gone to a quack a few days ago because I needed an adjustment badly and they really messed me up. So I was worried about Dr. Greg too. But rest assured you are in GREAT hands with Dr. Greg. What a relief! So go go go book today!!! He's awesome!!!! read more

Just went to see Dr. Greg and had to write a review. I haven't had the best experiences with other chiropractors in the past, but Dr. Greg renewed my faith in them! After having such bad neck pain for over two months, I finally went to see him (I chose him because of the great yelp reviews...thanks yelp!) and I told him how nervous I was about having my neck adjusted. He totally understood and took so much time with me explaining everything he was doing and completely easing my mind. My worry was all for nothing. It went so smoothly...I really felt safe in his hands (literally). I had instant relief when I left, finally being able to turn my head to the left again. He was very mellow and calming and not pushy at all (some that I've been to made me feel like I needed to commit for the rest of my life). He really knew what he was doing and I will refer my husband and friends to him. read more

Nothing makes you feel better than a visit here! They offer so much, adjustments, massages are just the tip of the iceberg. Dr Greg readjusts you without pain, and his charm and knowledge add to make up a wonderful visit. I can not recommend this place enough, you will not be disappointment. read more

Dr. Greg is absolutely the best! I had a rough post-partum recovery and struggled with headaches. Got aligned and now the headaches are gone! Thank goodness! read more

I suffered a minor tear in my shoulder muscles and was told by a GP and an orthopedic surgeon that I'd need an MRI and surgery to correct the problem. Lacking the resources to fulfill either co-payments, I turned to my community for help and was referred to Dr. Greg and the staff of The Health Spot in Studio City. I received top-quality care and attention right from the start. Dr. Greg's knowledge of athletic and sporting injuries was essential to my diagnosis and physical therapy. I'd never visited a chiropractor before and was apprehensive about the process, but he took the time to explain exactly what he would be doing, why he would be doing it, and how each technique directly addressed my problem. I've recommended two friends to him already and will continue to do so. Thanks Dr. Greg! read more

Came in with a sciatica , after sitting under heated pads for 10-15 min Dr Greg was able to fix that mean 5th lumbar that was Inflaming my sciatic nerve. Came out of his office feeling 10 years younger! Definitely the best chiropractor in town read more

The BEST chiropractor i've ever been to and i've been to a lot. He is extremely knowledable and an amazingly friendly person. He makes you feel right at home from the moment he walks in the door. If your in need I would HIGHLY recommend him! Thanks Dr. Greg read more

I can't say ENOUGH about how awesome Dr. Greg is. On my first, second, 17th time seeing him...He takes his TIME. Unlike other people I have seen, he remembers everything, knows what was going on, the changes that have taken place...all by seeing me and speaking with me. The guy doesn't need a chart. He really understands the human body, he is excellent with people in the fitness industry and knows how MUCH and HOW little to do. Personable, Friendly and communicative. read more

Dr. Greg is the best chiropractor in the entire world. He really takes the time to make sure you know why you're in pain and what you can do about. He doesn't just do the adjustment - he also massages when necessary and ices and puts the funny electrical current thing on you (if you need it). He makes sure that you're going to feel better and stay better. Also, he's super friendly, calm, spiritual. I love Dr. Greg and drive all the way to the Valley to be seen by him - worth every grueling mile in traffic! read more

As long as I live in LA, I will always go to Dr. Greg. After the first time I went to him, he was THAT good at what he does, that I left his office trusting him with my life haha. He absolutely understands the body. Especially the body of an athlete. Fantastic doctor, with great energy that makes you feel extremely comfortable. If you're looking for a chiropractor or hesitant to try it...I'm telling you, you can trust Dr. Greg. He will take excellent care of you. Magical hands! read more

Dr. Greg is a true professional! His approach is unique and authentic because of his connection to the total mind/body experience. Every time I leave a session with Dr. Greg I feel aligned both mentally and physically. read more

Dr. Greg is awesome! I've been seeing him for years for my spinal/structural issues, and he always gets me back on track, walking out taller and feeling better than when I came in. I've had chiropractors in the past who left me feeling worse, but Dr. Greg always listens to me and knows the right amount of pressure to use in his adjustments. Nice guy, too! read more

Just saw Dr. Greg based on on a friend referral after I was experiencing very bad soreness in my neck for about a week. Was my first time ever seeing a Chiropractor. Aside from feeling much, much better after his treatment, I thought Dr. Greg was very helpful, knowledgeable and very professional. Wasn't just interested in setting me up with future appointments but rather gave me some useful tips and advice in how to manage my various injuries after having done his evaluation. Would highly recommend him to anyone read more

Dr. Greg is incredibly friendly and helpful. He'll take time to recommend all sorts of stretches and other ways to improve your ailment. There is rarely any wait time and the staff is super friendly and organized. High recommended. read more

Dr. Greg is the kindest, most genuine person. His care is top-notch, and after months of discomfort I feel better after just a few sessions with him. read more

This is hands down the best chiropractor office I've ever been to. Dr. Greg is Beyond friendly an amazing person and definitely knows his way around the human body, speaking strictly professional. My hips have been out of alignment for some time and I cannot begin to explain the level of gratitude I have for him and his staff. Whatever your ailments, go have him take care of you. Thank you Dr. Greg read more

Every time I go to see Greg I feel better so you can't ask for more than that! Everyone there is friendly and helpful so I can't recommend Greg & his staff enough. read more

Just don't go to his partner Dr.Dan. Seriously, he spent 3 minutes in the room with me. He didn't ask me a single question. For all he knew, I could have had an accident, a c-section, any recent event...he just started cracking away. I guess he averages like 20$ a minute. Told me to get in a jacuzzi, and come back the next day as well. Yeah right! No, thanks. I would have been better off taking a hot shower and a muscle relaxant. However, the massage therapist (Robert) did an excellent job. Very helpful in suggesting ways to prevent this injury from happening again. read more

After a number of injuries, Dr. Greg was able to help me heal and reduce chronic pain that was hindering my quality of life. I am very grateful to have discovered his practice. He is an outstanding health care practitioner who seems to really enjoy what he does. He is highly knowledgable in both chiropractics and sports related rehabilitations, and cares deeply for his patients well-being. He is generous with sharing his vast knowledge of the human body and has an uncanny ability to quickly pinpoint and resolve both structural and deep tissue injuries. Anyone needing top-notch chiropractic or sports injury treatment should see Dr. Greg right away. He is a true expert who has made a tremendous difference in my physical well-being. I recommend him highly. read more

Dr. Greg is both compassionate and accurate - he doesn't just crack anything and everything that moves, he figures out what's actually out of alignment and the best order in which to adjust things, and then he adjusts those things very precisely. Best of all, he spends time with you and gets to know you and your lifestyle, so that he's treating YOU, not just your back or your neck. I've been to a lot of chiropractors for my bad neck, including some very good ones in the L.A. area, but Dr. Greg is the best of the best, and his office staff is also very on top of it. read more

Dr Greg is a very caring and awesome chiropractor. He is very professional and along with his staff they provide really good care for you. I definitely recommend Dr Greg Vanvakaris without any reservation to all my friends. He is my best friend. Love you Dr. Greg. See him right away. read more

I came to see Dr. Greg at The Health Spot after being involved in a car accident last October. I saw him and his amazing massage therapists, Joe and Kelly for my lower back and shoulder injuries. I was treated on a regular basis for about 9 months and am ecstatic that I'm healed and feel so much better now! Dr. Greg is incredibly knowledgeable, charming, easy to talk to, and so in tune with his patients. Even on busy days he never seemed rushed or unable to give me his undivided time. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Greg, his massage therapists and wonderful office staff, MariCruz and Art. Everyone in Dr. Greg's office works beautifully together largely due to the fact he treats everyone on his staff as equals. He is not only a smart, incredible doctor, but also a truly kind human being. I am extremely happy with my experience with Dr. Greg and everyone there whom helped me heal and become better than ever. The only downfall to my healing is that I don't get to see any of them regularly anymore.... I miss them, they truly are a wonderful group at The Health Spot. If you want the best chiropractor in town, with the coolest staff ever, then look no farther.....Dr. Greg is simply the best!! read more

Dr. Greg is the best!!! Totally knowledgeable...kind and caring. I wouldn't go anywhere else! I have sent a few friends to him and they also think he's incredible. You can't go wrong here. read more

Dr. Greg Vanvakaris, is...simply the best there is. That's it! He can sense within seconds exactly what is going on with your body and why there is the pain there is. AND, he can correct it. Plus, Greg is a delightful man. And he's so friendly and personable...which, added to a doctor who TRULY knows his stuff, it's a win win win situation. A great healer and a great chiropractor. You won't regret your experiences with him. read more

I've been going to Dr. Greg for 5 years now. I trust him with my life! He is so helpful and I couldn't recommend a better a chiropractor to go to! read more

The Very. Very. Best. I have seen many. In L.A.-Dr Greg is the one to See! Whatever ails you, Dr. Greg can first explain what's happening and then fix it --with your help...follow his instructions: ice; heat; specific exercises...follow his lead and you will do just great. read more

Let me start off by saying that I Yelp everything. Although I have never written a review. Dr Greg is AMAZING!! I workout about 5 times a week and always have something sore or out of place. I literally go into his office in so much pain. Although when I walk out I feel like a completely new person. He is amazing at his craft and knows exactly what to do. So do yourself a favor and go see him. He is simply the best! read more

I am very skeptical of having anyone work on my body but Dr. Greg is amazing. He is extremely intuitive and friendly. I have been to other chiros in the past who just say hello,crack you and send you on, but Dr. Greg does so much more. He tries to truly help you through tissue work, stretches and more. I went to him with major back problems starting 6 weeks ago and have seen a huge difference going in once a week. The new office is really clean and a big bonus is the easy parking. read more

My husband had just recently heard about Greg from a friend. My upper and lower back were in so much pain and I kept getting shin splits so I made an appointment with Dr. Greg. I was very impressed. He spent a lot of time with me, asking a lot of questions. He applied the moist heat, did some amazing adjustments and a lot of deep tissue work. Evidently my body was pretty much "out of wack". The next day was the first day i could sit at my desk for hours and I had zero pain. I really had a the sense that he knew what he was doing and was very experienced. There are a lot of chiropractors in Los Angeles and its hard to know who to go to. I guess I lucked out and would highly recommend him. read more

My first ever visit to the chiropractor was WONDERFUL because of Dr. Greg and his staff. I left his office feeling like a brand new person. Dr. Greg was patient, thorough, and kind. He even offered to contact my trainer with suggestions on which muscles to focus/spend extra time on. I can't say nice enough things about everyone at The Health Spot! Can't wait to go back! read more

As a tall 5'11" woman , I have been "back,neck and hip" challenged for many many years...with severe pain, and migraines ( It impeded my life tremendously) ... I had taken the LA " tour" BEST of UCLA, Cedars,County ETC ortho pods, exercise, chiros, pain management, hormone, diet/food influx, Physical therapy, Feldenkrais, pilates, yoga, giro, bio feedback..trigger point I HAVE NEVER MET a more compassionate, caring, focused HUMAN BEING, ADD to that, being a health care professional that lives and BREATHES the Hippocratic Oath, and is not required, meaning Dr.G listens to you, REALLY LISTENS and does a true assesment and many times as I was truly at my...WOW I went off but on my journey to HEALTH, I could not have done it, or be where I am today without Dr. G read more

Dr Greg is the best. I went to him after I got hit by a drunk driver. He totally fixed my back. He is very personable and professional.

I have been Dr. Greg's patient for over 12 years. He's the only chiropractor that I've ever been too and I hope I never have to go to another one. I love him so much and I'm grateful for all of the times that he has helped me out when I had some major back problems. I have referred many people to him and he has always helped them to feel better whatever their physical problems. Also, I just had my first massage there with Kelly and it was great. read more

I have been going to Dr. Greg for over 15 years. He is the best chiropractor out there. I moved out of the area and still drive to see him. His front office staff are very welcoming. Dr. Greg takes the time to listen to what is going on and offers great suggestions for relief and even gives you other suggestions you can do at home to help your situation for the next time you come back. I never feel like he is rushed to go to the next client ( I talk a bit much lol). I have been to Dr. Greg for neck issues mostly, he has helped me to regain the strength in my neck after a rear end car accident. Now I just go every now and then for an adjustment. He has also treated my children and my husband, who is a fireman, so that's a whole other ball of wax. I'm so grateful I have found a reliable chiropractor that you know when you leave you are on the path to feeling better again. Thank you Dr. Greg read more

My new favorite chiropractor. Dr. Greg is so pleasant and helpful. 2 visits in and my back is already feeling so much better. So grateful to him. read more
