Considering how much pain I was in that was the last thing I wanted to hear. However, the condescending man didn't believe I was in pain. When he prodded my kneecap and asked if it hurt and I said yes, he responded with "oh, you're really selling it aren't you." He patronizingly didn't go over options, except to offer a cortisone shot. It was a humiliating experience, being dismissed with the feeling "come back when you're really in pain and there's an actual issue.' All topped off by a snide parting comment from the nurse insinuating if I was really in pain I wouldn't be wearing those shoes. Thank goodness for second opinions. I went to a doctor several friends recommended. He actually went over my MRI results with me, explaining each result including Grade IV chondromalacia. He went over possible treatments and the pros and cons of each and to take my time deciding which path I wanted to go down. Basically, he talked to me like an adult and not like a recalcitrant child wanting surgery for the fun of it. Please don't go to Polakof, find a doctor who will treat you with respect.

Unfortunately, my experiences with other members of the office staff were very different. On one occasion, I needed therapeutic phlebotomy based on my physician's recommendation. The locations initially provided by the front office were not practical for me, and I explained that I needed medical direction because this was therapeutic phlebotomy, not simply donating blood. After I expressed my frustration about not receiving adequate assistance, I received a call from a physician who responded to me with, "What is your problem? Do you want us to do everything for you?" I found that response extremely disrespectful and inappropriate. Months later, I was driving roughly 50 miles to the office for a procedure I had coordinated with Nurse Rita. Because traffic had made me about 10 minutes late, I called the office while I was on my way. The front office told me I wasn't on the schedule and would not allow me to speak with Rita, even though she had coordinated the procedure. The final issue occurred when I missed an appointment because I was called away to respond to an emergency as a member of a SWAT team. I immediately contacted the office and apologized. I was told I would be charged for the missed appointment before management would even review the circumstances. When I asked whether management would speak with me before charging me, I was told no the charge would come first. At that point, I canceled my future appointments and decided I could no longer entrust my care to the practice. What makes this especially disappointing is that Dr. McClain and Rita are the exact opposite of these experiences. They have always treated me with professionalism and compassion. My issue is with the way I was treated by other members of the office and the apparent lack of consideration for the circumstances surrounding these situations. I am posting this review because I believe patients should know that the quality of the patient experience can depend greatly on who they are dealing with. I sincerely hope Dr. McClain becomes aware of these concerns, because the treatment I received from some members of the office did not reflect the level of care I received directly from him and Rita.

I rolled my ankle last summer and I thought I could just handle the recovery on my own... but 4 months on, my ankle was still 2x the size and constantly bothering me to where I couldn't sleep. Before being totally resigned to having to buy different sized shoes for the rest of my life, I finally asked my primary doctor for a referral, but the clinic recommended had a 4 month waitlist and did not accept my insurance. So I went to my trusty Yelp search and Santa Monica Sports Medicine was the top result, and so I decided to book an appointment. Calling the office was a breeze and I had an appointment within a couple weeks. They kept prompt communication and verified my insurance benefits right away, which amazingly helpful (I've experienced many doctor offices that just leave you on your own and tell you to call insurance yourself before booking an appointment). When I came for my first appointment, I was surprised to be seen by Dr Trumpi herself, because I felt my injury was fairly minor... also I couldn't even say it was a sharp pain, just more an annoyance to daily life. Dr Trumpi took her time with me even though asking lots of questions and I felt immediately comfortable with her and that I was in good hands. She wrote up an exercise plan and walked me through a variety of in clinic treatment options and tailored everything to my comfort level, from massage to electrical stimulation and so on. I continued every couple weeks with her and was amazed how quickly my ankle improved. I no longer was resolved to have to buy different sized shoes! She also started treating me for my chronic back pain -- which again, I never thought was a big deal --just life soreness haha, but I now know it's actually something treatable.

X-rays were taken and the nurse walks in the room and says she knows what's wrong already. X-ray diagnosis is a no no. She didn't ask enough history and barely touched me. She wanted to inject my knee and I almost let her but the whole thing felt wrong. Went for a 2nd opinion elsewhere and based on a thorough history and physical, she diagnosed a ligament (medial collateral) NEXT to my knee joint as the problem. An injection into the right structure relieved my months of pain overnight. So, if you are an athlete or young enough, I'd recommend Dr. M as the very best. But if you're older or not an athlete - ask lots of questions when you think you are making an appointment with him.

Oh, Dr. Elkins, how very grateful I am to you for making me whole again. You make my crooked parts straight and my world make sense. Overall Rating: Sha-Damn. (highest honor, life changing) For anyone considering NUCCA treatment as opposed to traditional chiropractic, I urge you to do yourself a good service and see Dr. Elkins. NUCCA is different. This is not cracking. This is making you right by balancing your Atlas (www.NUCCAla.com). If it's off, you're off and you won't appreciate just how off you've been until you're right again: 1. I have a friend who was a bit Bi-Polar, ADHD, and OCD. We had no idea NUCCA would address those. She was just having chronic neck pain and went to NUCCA at my urging. Now, not only does she no longer have neck pain, but she's also off nearly every medication and is probably the most "whole" I've ever seen her and I've known her for 24 years. 2. My sister had a stroke and was sent home to live with her diagnosis: nearly blind in one eye, seriously impaired speech and the loss of the use of her left hand. She went to NUCCA and her vision returned, as did her speech and the full use of her left hand, plus something completely bizarre: she's bi-lingual now (Spanish was our first language, but having spoken English primarily since kindergarten, we'd both forgotten how). She got aligned and the Spanish came pouring out of her...strange, but true. I'm not going to reveal my issues, but will say that when I keep treatment up (I go once every 3-4 months), I am happy, smart and enjoy more productive days, so I don't miss my appointments. I've often wondered if only more people got their Altas aligned what the world would be like... read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Elkins since April 2012. I feel very fortunate to have met such a caring, knowledgeable, generous and gentle professional. I have been a chiropractic patient since 1976, when I worked for a prestigious chiropractor-nutritionist in New York. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, spondylosis and disc degeneration of my lower back and neck. The pain is excruciating at times with my back pain radiating down to my right knee and side of my leg. I refuse to undergo surgery for these issues as a result of my back condition and looked for other options to eliminate the discomfort. Dr. Elkins and the NUCCA technique have helped me minimize and eliminate this pain. His bedside manner is above and beyond the call of his profession. He is so passionate about his work and the care he gives each individual patient. He is humble and his smile is electric. Due to his expertise and precise NUCCA adjustments, I am now able to walk pain free for days at a time. This is nothing short of a miracle for me. I could not function without his help. Everyone deserves to feel good and be in alignment. I recently referred a friend of mine to Dr. Elkins. He was so pleased and impressed with the level of care he is always given in his office. My friend has nothing but the best to say about Dr. Elkins. He has an abundance of wisdom to share and always reminds me to smile, breathe, be happy and all is well. I feel so blessed to have found such a keepsake of a chiropractor. Dr. Elkins is that type of doctor and I can't thank him enough. I would not hesitate to send anyone I know to him. read more

I gotta say I am NOT a fan. Now he's in a smaller office than before in a tall office building and NOT on the ground floor. Parking is a drag and not easy. Bring coins for the meters BTW. I don't remember him having an XRAY machine as his picture shows. Perhaps that the old chiropractic office he talks about around the corner from where he is now is where the picture of him standing looking at XRAYS on this page was taken? I think it's not a good thing when your chiropractor can not look at XRAYS before adjusting you. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I might be but I just don't remember. Perhaps when I was there there were no XRAYS yet. For a newer doctor to charge the same fees as more seasoned and experienced chiropractors doesn't seem right to me. He said he is a pettiban chiropractor dealing with lines of force when he adjusts you. I like the research that went into this kind of adjusting. I am also not a fan of someone who relies heavily on advertising rather then referrals. I'd like it when the doctor has an assistant to do the therapies and just help, but not here. Again correct me if I'm wrong and I'll revise my review. Massages? Nope. I'd wait a few more years before coming here again. read more

I was referred to Dr. Truong by another Blair doctor in Orange County after moving back to Los Angeles, and I'm so thankful for that connection.

When I first came to her office, it was by chance, as I had exhausted all other options, including an ENT, physical therapist, general practitioner, dentist, and eye doctor. They suggested pills, dietary changes, and hormone adjustments. I started experiencing sudden dizziness in January despite being in good health and working out regularly. It was debilitating, and I was desperate to find a solution as I could barely function and work. After researching on Yelp and YouTube, I discovered Cecilia's office and decided to try upper cervical care. Cecilia is very professional, highly skilled, passionate about her profession, making people feel better naturally and I had full confidence in her expertise. She gave me my life back. When I first came, I was feeling horrible, depressed, anxious and desperate. I had no idea what was upper cervical care and I wasn't sure if I was making the right decision to sign up for the 12 week program. Best decision EVER! I learned about C1 and C2 misalignment, which was my issue. After the first alignment, I felt much better right away. Then your body heals itself but not in the order you would expect it. In the 2 months mark, I had back spasms I never had before, then my shoulders were inward, all kinds of weird things but that was my body adjusting to the new alignement and I am back to standing straight. There is no cracking or popping, which I hate. It's very gentle. You don't feel it really. Be aware that it's a process and not healed overnight. You may go through retracing, which is normal, and Cecilia will help you manage the symptoms. Initially, you visit twice a week, then once a week, and eventually every other week. I graduated to once a month because I'm holding my alignment, and the longer you hold it, the better you heal. Sometimes I went and she would do the same tests she would do weekly to see if I was holding and I was surprised if she wasn't actually adjusting me but then I learn the less she needs to adjusts after the initial visit, the better. What's crazy is that I had symptoms starting years ago that I thought were independent. Twenty years ago, my hip started popping; one of my ribs popped from coughing; I began having ringing in my right ear ten years ago, debilitating migraines six years ago, and occasional lower back pain, with the most recent symptom being dizziness. Now, I feel like 95% of my symptoms are gone. I waited three months to post this review because I wanted to wait on my results to post with confidence. If you have any unexplained symptoms, run to this office. (Headache, migraine, dizziness, tinnitus, etc). If you aren't a candidate for it, she will tell you straight up. I drove all the way from the west side. At first I was dreading the commute but I got used to it, loved feeling better each time and I started discovering the area. Gogobop is very good restaurant in the same building. At first I parked in the structure which is $6 after validation but you can find street parking that's cheaper.

My brother strongly recommended Dr. James, so I decided to give it a try. After my very first evaluation and adjustment, my pain was almost completely gone for the next 24 hours. I've now had five adjustments and have been following the recommended home exercises. My pain has decreased by at least 90-95%. Not only is my pain almost gone, but it seems like all aspects of my life has gotten better since the treatments - vision, energy, mental clarity, and mood. Dr. James is a miracle worker--this has truly been life- and career-saving treatment and worth every red cent. BTW - I've also started SoftWave therapy for an old wrist sprain, and it's already about 50% better. Absolutely incredible.

I came to Dr. Joseph after finding out I had a neurological condition called visual snow syndrome…read more It was extremely hard to not only get doctors to understand how debilitated I was but also find doctors that knew what treatment I needed. I had undergone significant testing and was really lost on what else to do to try to improve my quality of life Dr Joseph's clinic is really ahead of its time Dr Joseph offers a wide range of services all in one office which luckily greatly improved my symptoms, there aren't many doctors that understand how interconnected and complex the nervous system and body is, I am so grateful for his help Dr jospeh really checks in with you on how the treatment is going and is very compassionate toward your situation. I also very much appreciated that when I first called he let me know visual snow was complex to treat and outcomes can't be guaranteed which made me trust his office even more. If you are suffering from neurological symptoms that doctors don't seem to understand I would definitely recommend coming here

Although I have only seen Dr. Joseph a few times, I can genuinely say that he has already restored so much of my hope for the future. Dr. Joseph and his staff, especially Allela, have treated me with such kindness, compassion, and care. I always joke with Dr. Joseph that his office feels more like a wellness spa than a doctor's office because the environment is so peaceful and welcoming. Thank you so much to Dr. Joey and his entire team for helping me regain faith in my healing journey. I am truly grateful to have found this office.

Highly Recommend! If you are dealing with upper cervical…read moreissues, don't hesitate to see Alex Bello. I started going to him a year ago when I was in bad shape, (dizziness, vertigo) and he completely helped me stabilize my C2 and truly get my life back. I'm symptom free. I tend to be very active, which means I still tweak my neck from time to time. Whenever that happens, he responds incredibly fast to get me sorted out. I used to have to go in once a week, but thanks to his care, I'm now down to just a maintenance check every 4 to 5 months. The office is always very clean, and the front desk team is fantastic. You are truly well taken care of here from the moment you walk in. Highly recommend!

From day one, the staff treated me with respect and patience -- not just as a patient, but as a whole person. The upper cervical care here isn't just clinical -- it's transformative. My symptoms began to improve after sessions that were gentle but deeply targeted. They understand how trauma can affect the entire nervous system and are incredibly thoughtful in how they adjust and support your body. This office has been part of my medical documentation and recovery in a difficult legal situation, and I can say confidently: their integrity and professionalism are solid. I'm grateful to have found them, and I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with complex neurological or post-trauma alignment issues. Thank you, Dr. Bello and Anthea-- you're a light in a system that often overlooks the details that matter. I also sincerely express my gratitude towards to Dr Solomon and Fay for referring to Dr Bello's office while treating my TMJ issue.

Definitely as good as it gets…read more Dr. T is a VERY SKILLED HEALER. Not just some chiropractor. My arm was numb and was in severe pain. Riding motorcycles, my passion, caused me a lot of pain. A crash dislocated my right shoulder and had numbness on my left arm. He worked on my right shoulder. Smoothed out the "scabby/ grindy" tendons and lined up the muscles in that area. Then adjusted my neck and back so my pinched nerve can relax. One treatment and you'll feel a lot better. Simply put, he got me back on my motorcycles. My insurance covers chiropractic care; I get several visits a year. Why are other chiropractors taking only 5- 10 minutes of their time to adjust you. I clocked the last visit with Dr. T.- 1.5 hours and yet he cost the same as the others Thanks Dr. T.

!!!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!…read more For the past few months, I've been having trouble with clicking/popping/pain in my shoulder. I tried traditional" health care route first, and just got pill bottles, referrals, and trips to "pain management" (Yes, hi, could I be transferred to the "pain curing" department instead, please?). Then I hear from a buddy that there's this guy who comes in at the Thai boxing gym behind the AMC theater in Burbank who's great. Part-massage, part-chiropractic, part-personal trainer, this guy took the TIME to listen to me and THINK about all the potential causes of my pain, (compared to all the other doctors I saw who formed their opinion in under 2 minutes, then walked right back out the door)... And after it was done, he sat with me and SHOWED me pictures and DREW me diagrams of the exact parts of my body to focus on when doing all the exercises he recommended I do. Best of all, he didn't treat me like a cripple (it also helped that you can hear the kicking/punching/grunting of the guys in the ring; being surrounded by active people encourages me rather than doctors offices full of death and misery!). Though he was being very gentle, I kept encouraging him to beat me up as hard as he needed to to do his job, and he delivered! After just 2 sessions (and a whole lot of reps on my end!), my pain is 97% gone (the last 3% is just a matter of me keeping up with my routine and staying conscious of my motions). If I'm ever in pain or injured in the future, there's no doubt that I'm going straight to Dr. Robert first. I only write reviews here if someone/place is extremely bad or extremely good... and this guy was extremely great at helping me feel better :D !!!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
