A friend recommended this place when I was training to compete in bodybuilding competition. I came here with the muscular elasticity and mobility of The Thing from Fantastic Four (if you don't know it's a humanoid creature made of rocks). When I tell you my muscles were so stiff, that it hurt even trying to get treatment. It took a few months of consistent treatment to get there but Jan and Dr. Monet got me to an optimal place in my mobility and recovery regimen and I come every week. I train for lots of things year round so this regular routine treatment is critical for my quality of life and staying injury free and I'm very grateful for it! read more

What an all star team here. I have taken mobility, chiro, massage therapy, and Pilates and every treatment is so thoughtfully done. I feel super safe and supported in this space. Dr Ryan has done such an excellent job of creating a great team, not to mention being an excellent chiro! Michelle for mobility, kicks my ass and always has such great programming. Hannah/Jan: are both so talented with their massage therapy. Always a treat whenever I can catch them for an appointment. And you can't leave out Onique who is just the most pleasant and forward thinking receptionist. Always schedules me in, even last minute, and is just a treat to interact with. so thankful this team has been able to help me reach my personal goals and create new ones. Working in a job where I have an insane schedule and long duration sitting, this has been a godsend. read more

Urban Med is my happy place! I look forward to going there every week. I get the most amazing massages from Hanna. She gets every knot out that I have. I also do Pilates with Marya and she gives me a real work out every time. Dr Ryan, Christine & Onique are absolutely the best and are always so helpful and amazing to me. I've been going here for a long time and I appreciate all that they've done for me. read more

This review is long overdue. If I could give Dr.Pendon and his team a 10 star review I would! I've suffered from terrible back pain for years. Went to see multiple chiropractors but they didn't ease any of the pain nor offer solutions. Decided to look for a physical therapy office instead and found Dr.Pendon. So glad I did! I reached out to schedule an appointment and the staff was super friendly. Even better was that they could see me the following week. I didn't have to wait weeks like at so many other places. Literally after my first session I felt immediate relief from the back pain I was experiencing for years!! By the 3rd session I had ZERO back pain -- pain I thought I'd suffer with forever. And not only does Dr. Pendon do the proper adjustments to ease my pain, he teaches me about my body mechanics, why certain issues occur and how to prevent them in the future. Now, for the rest of his team. They deserve equal recognition because they're freakin awesome! After a number of adjustments with Dr. Pendon, he referred me internally to Hannah who specializes in deep tissue massage. She's super talented, the sweetest, and has done amazing work on me! I look forward to our sessions every time. After the ok from Dr. Pendon, I also recently started seeing Christine, who is an in-house trainer. Another gem at Urban Med! She's been teaching me how to properly move through certain exercises and work through any imbalances/strengthening work. Last but not least, today I experienced my first shock wave therapy session with Leigh. Within a few minutes I could feel it working and what a relief it was! She walked me through the process and what to expect since it was my first time. Seriously, Urban Med is a gem! Dr. Pendon and his team are phenomenal. Not only has my physical health improved, but so has my mental health now that I'm not suffering from constant physical pain. 10/10 recommended! read more

This place has changed my body completely!! I love coming here! I came in originally because i went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack which turned out to be a really bad muscle strain and decided I really needed to take my health and posture more seriously. I started coming here and got real help that has not only corrected my posture and given me a more relaxed body but also confidence. I feel a million times better. I actually walk properly now; tall and not crouched over from being on the computer all day. I actually understand core strength and how to not bunch my shoulders into my ear. Its crazy! Many props to the staff who give great attentive care to help with any sort of problem. I have greatly enjoyed trying out the different services here. My fav have been pilates on the reformer and deep tissue massages. Can't stress enough how much i have changed in the few months ive been here. My body looks and feels completely different but for the better! AND I have ABS for the first time in my life from doing pilates!!!! :) read more

Ryan is as good as it gets. I am someone who has struggled with back pain my whole adult life and i have not felt relief until Ryan got his hands on me! I am now hooked and cant imagine life without him! Each session i am blown away by the level of care and expertise provided. From the moment I met Ryan, I felt welcomed and at ease. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained the treatment plan. During each adjustment, I feel the tension and pain in my body being relieved. I leave each session feeling rejuvenated and with a renewed sense of well-being. Out of every service I've experienced to date, i give him my highest recommendation to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate practitioner. read more

The staff at Urban Med are incredible, thoughtful and caring. I've searched for long time to find a place that truly has a multidisciplinary approach to physical therapy, pain management and recovery. I count myself incredibly fortunate to have found them read more

Dr. Ryan has fixed me! I workout 4-5 times a week and my body alignment is always trying to hold me back. I finally met Dr. Ryan through a friend's recommendation and now I go as often as I can! The staff is friendly and the facility is super clean!! If you're looking for the best in LA Urban Med is it!!! read more

100% recommend the cold plunge with Onique. I feel like an expert even though I know I am far from that.

Urban Med is a excellent facility for athletes to recovery from traumatic and bodily injuries. If you are in the Downtown LA Area, Urban med provides exceptional services from customer service to adjustments to massages to physical therapy and much more! My favorite thing about Urban Med are the cold plunges and the massages! Hanna does a fabulous job grooming the muscles and giving relief to my body. Michelle is a mechanics expert through exercise and mobility. I am truly happy to be a member of Urban Med. read more

Dr. Matt is a miracle worker. Me & my husband have been treated by Dr. Matt and Daniella for about 6 months. I am a survivor from appendix cancer. After trying many rehabilitation methods, I finally started to heal and gain strength from the 10 hour surgery 12 X 6 inch incision to my core. It has been a struggle to get back to working out without pain. Dr. Matt has strategically helped me get stronger and eliminate the pain. The messages with Daniella have been a god-send. I started reform palettes with a trainer and this greatly complemented the twice a week physical therapy. The newest service introduced is stretching with Kelly. Who doesn't like a good stretch? This is a one stop shop whole body healthy healing environment. The staff is delightful! My husband had knee replacement surgery. He feels Dr. Matt is the real deal. It is testament to his practice that he can treat us both with the same level of satisfaction. Urban Med is the oasis in South Park Downtown LA. We are happy Angelenos !!! read more

I've been going to ryan for adjustments for over 6 years now. I tried someone when he couldn't fit me in and there's no comparison ! Best in the biz hands down. Christian is also a great trainer to really focus on loosing that quarantine weight. 11/10 would recommend read more

My appointment was canceled 08/10 on the same day an hr before my session. I was rescheduled for tomorrow and again it was canceled today. I was also priced incorrectly verbally and through an email by both Onique and Christine. I asked them 3 different times to verify because it was out of Network and my insurance told me different. Finally yesterday I was sent an updated email with correct pricing a day before my appointment. I wasn't even upset and I kept my appointment because it's urgent and to late to reschedule elsewhere. I had to request days off every time for this appointment. I missed work. The only reason I'm leaving a review is because of the way Christine replied to my email very rude unapologetic and without any type of empathy. read more

Both Dr Ryan and Christine are amazing people who personalize a game plan for you to reach your health goals. I got my back readjusted by Dr Ryan for the first time, and I felt the tension in my back leave immediately. Christine is also a great trainer who really knows how to listen and strategizes to get you the best effective work out. I would highly recommend Urban Med! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. I have been going on and off for the past few years, strengthening my back to try and regain mobility in my right shoulder, due to sitting in front of a computer for endless hours a day. Everyone who works there is so friendly and accommodating! Over the past few years I have had the pleasure of seeing Daniella, Dr. Pendon, and most recently Patrice. They are all experts in their own practice, and one of the things that makes UM so effective is the collaboration between all parties to ensure the patient is getting the most effective treatment. Of all the things I love about this place, my favorite is Christian. I have been going to him for PT for the past 2 years and the transformation has been unreal. He holds me accountable, pushes me when he knows I have it in me, and delivers results. My posture has completely changed from where I was before, I have greater extension in my shoulders and back, and overall feel better physically and mentally. For the first time I feel strong. He is so dedicated that when I started tracking what I was consuming, he did as well and sent me screenshots to help motivate me. Would recommend him and Urban Med any day! read more

Ryan is the best!! Don't listen to the haters! He has single handily fixed all of my back pain from working on my computer all day! He is a miracle worker!! You need to see him! read more

Ryan is the best chiropractor in the game! No matter where I'm having problems, he always knows how to target the right spots and I always walk away feeling 100x better than before. He's been a miracle worker with my TMJ and jaw issues. Literally changed my life -- I will be a forever client of his! Would give him 10 stars if I could!!! read more

They do a great job at urban mad of taking care of all kinds of problems. whether it's lower back pain like I have or genetic conditions, muscular conditions, pretty much anything that has to do with pain and physiotherapy. I've been going to them for over 2 years and highly recommend them for services like massage personal training and chiropractic! read more

I've only been in twice now but have had a great experience with Ryan! I really appreciate that his main priority is his patients overall recovery over time and not just focusing on a quick fix. Prices are great with insurance and the whole staff is so friendly including Tammy and Madison at the front desk! Definitely recommend to anyone in need of any of their services. read more

Renee reneee reneee She's my masseuse that's been sorting out my effed up back since traveling internationally. The rehab is working read more

Absolutely love coming to Urban Med. I've been working with Christian for over a year now and he has truly helped me with my lower back issue. I fractured my spine years ago and have recurring back issues. He focuses on teaching me exercises that strengthen my core. He really pushes me to my full potential and I truly look forward to our weekly visits. Daniela, the message therapist is also amazing for those days that I'm sore from my workouts. She truly has magical hands. Thanks guys for all you do. I'm truly grateful to all of you! read more

So I'm writing this review as I patiently wait for my 4:30 chiropractor appointment with Ryan and I have to say I owe a lot to this place for getting me BACK on track. (Ba dum tsssss) I know I know, I'm kind of punny. But seriously this placed fixed my back when I felt something slip out of my lower spine stretching improperly after years of not taking the right physical precautions while lifting heavy and half marathon training. I owe a lot to Ryan and Andrew, who are both amazing chiropractors. They both found my problem areas and fixed it. It was very difficult for me to sit, sleep, sneeze/cough, and enjoy my daily life with back pain and spasms. And now I'm almost back to 100%. So thank you guys at Urban Med! :) Also, another thing I have to review here because I'm one for aesthetics and being a gym rat. Urban Med has a very clean environment and offers a lot of amenities, combining physical therapy with an upscale gym for a reasonable price. There's Pilates, weights, cardio machines, cables, and all that good stuff. Oh! &&&& they also sell Juice Served Here! Can't go wrong with juice now? Riiiiiight?? ;) Okay gonna go get my back realigned! Be riiiiiiiight BACK! (Couldn't help the back joke) read more

5 stars from my boyfriend and I (who thought that Chiropractic care is a bunch of BS). The entire team's amazing and we've really noticed a difference. I get a lot less tension headaches from the soft tissue targeted sessions and my bf's 15 year injury has gotten progressively better. Highly recommend--everyone is very informative and ensures that you know what's going on. It promotes comfort in the situation and also helps you understand how/why injuries/issues occur. read more

Urban Med is like the Cheers of the Health and Fitness world. When I walk in I feel like I'm part of a community, seriously, "everybody knows your name". I have a shoulder injury that seemed to come out of nowhere - Frozen Shoulder (i.e. adhesive capsulitis). it was my first debilitating injury and I didn't want to be a part of a PT factory which required 21 day wait and 15 minute appointments only to see little improvement. I searched yelp and came across Urban Med which is 2 blocks away from my loft. I was not disappointed. Dr. Hoffman is awesome! She's thorough, attentive, educated, skilled and pretty damn funny too. I love working with her. My shoulder is improving (no pain anymore, yay!) and I feel better after each treatment. I know I'll be back to 100% soon in no short effort by all the work April has done with me. She's an incredible attribute to the center. I started with PT, but soon took up massages with Teresa who in my opinion is one of the best massage therapists ever. When she first learned of my condition she consulted with April and then did some of her own internet research to learn more about the best treatments for my condition. Even though I started seeing her for my shoulder, I quickly realized that wasn't enough. I cancelled my Burke Williams membership and now get full body massages in addition to my shoulder treatments. The Happy Hour massage deals are unbelievable too! This place is addicting because after PT and massage, I realized I wanted to be stronger, especially in my core, to avoid future problems. Hello Elise! And Hello 2-Pack (we're getting to a 6-pack). Elise knows her stuff! I've tried others and she's so good, I can't even compare her to the others. She's patient, gives great instruction and ensures my form is exactly correct. She's always easy to talk to and has a great body too which is always inspiring in a Pilates instructor :). Tory at the front desk is super efficient, patient and kind and always works with me and my crazy schedule to get an appointment. She's also good about reminding me about my appointments if she hasn't seen me in a while. I Love this place so much I almost don't want to get better... read more

I feel so lucky to have found Urban Med, if I could give them more than 5 stars, I definitely would! I came to the clinic not because of an injury but because of general weakness and a feeling of my body giving out on me. Dr Hashish has been a godsend in explaining exactly where my weaknesses are, something that many other doctors had tried & failed to do. In the short time I've been working with Dr Hashish, I've gained so much more control over my body and become more in tune with my own strength. I've worked with other PT's before and simply put, he's the best. Ive worked with Dr. Ryan Pendon too, who is also a miracle worker in fixing pain and strengthening the body. After just 1 session with him, I feel so much more energized and stronger in my everyday activities. I really feel that everyone should have some sort of physical therapy in their weekly plan, especially if living in a city like LA. I don't know what's my favorite part about Urban Med: the amazing customer service, sleek facilities, accommodating staff, variety of services, or very affordable pricing (for Out of Network insurance).... I haven't tried the juice that they sell, but that would probably be on my list too. Overall, you just need to check out Urban Med for yourself, it's a life changing experience and you'll be happy you did :) read more

Great place for chiropractic work and physical training. I hike a lot but also work at a computer and Urban Med has helped me strengthen my back and shoulders to undo the damage from work and also strengthen my legs and hips so I can make it up the trail a lot easier than before. read more

I have been going to Urban Med for over 1 year. I came to Urban Med because of Blake Raymond, having work with him as a PT aide for over 4 years. His knowledge of physiology and kinesiology is excellent and he is always patient and encouraging. I have an arthritic condition that effects all joints, especially my back. Although I will always have problems and pain, through my work with Blake, my overall strength, mobility and flexibility are great. I would not go to anyone else. Although I came to Urban Med to continue my therapy with Blake, all the staff is friendly and responsive. I receive weekly therapeutic massage from Teresa. Teresa is a great and she has a way of knowing where all the "knots" are. All the staff work together to give you comprehensive treatment. read more

I am continuously impressed by the people and facilities at Urban Med. Everyone is so caring, friendly and professional. I feel so lucky to have discovered them. read more

Urban Med is beyond exceptional, both the personnel and the facility. I went there to recover from a broken elbow and have been getting the kind of care I could only dream about. Compared with being treated at USC years ago for something similar, it's difficult to even put the two places in the same category. Urban Med makes other physical therapists look like the DMV. You get one-on-one attention as opposed to being part of a therapy factory in a larger hospital setting. The staff is brilliant - Dr.Hoffmann is helping me rebuild all the strength and mobility in my entire arm, not just the joint that was injured. I feel like I'm laying the muscular foundation to be better than new. It's a relief to know I'm in such good hands with Urban Med. I would go to them again for any other PT I needed in the future. Let's just hope I don't get hit by any more cars. read more

I would be lost and in so much pain if it wasn't for the staff at Urban Med!! I have been coming here for PT throughout the pandemic and I have been overly impressed with cleanliness and consciousness from the staff. They space out all the appointments and I feel like a vip every time I walk in and have never felt safer receiving my treatments. read more

I've been coming here for years and I'm very grateful for the team at Urban Med! They are super personable and they will work around your schedule. I go here for adjustments, physical therapy and massage work. My body would not be in as good of a shape without them. I highky recommend this place! read more

I've been going to Urban Med regularly since 2016 and have used a myriad of their services - chiropractic, personal training, massage, pilates, among others! I only wish I found them sooner. Dr. Pendon is fantastic at easing his patients into the help that they need, and the best part is that he doesn't pressure his patients into getting treatments until they are ready for them. He will advise on getting the treatments done, of course, but he is easy-going and really listens to the patient. I feel very lucky to have them to work with - it's changed the way I am conscious of my posture and mobility habits on a day-to-day basis. Best of all, they gave me helpful tips on how to manage everything I need to do to stay healthy and strong while traveling and in-between visits. They truly care about my well-being and I am grateful. I highly recommend Urban Med! Give them a go! read more

This place is amazing. I am a regular customer for almost 2 years and they have totally transformed me. I train with Christian 3 times per week - he is a ​fantastic trainer who is super knowledgable. Highly recommended! read more

I have been going to Urban MED to deal with quite a few of my medical issues. They offer a wide range of services and the staff is extremely helpful and professional. I currently receive chiropractic, massage and PT services and I am doing much better. They have been working with my insurance which has helped keep the costs very low. Thank you guys!!! read more

I would like to praise Christian Villatoro , my trainer at Urban Med. He has helped me so much with all my ails and I can see such an improvement. He is the best motivator and working out with him is a real pleasure that I look forward to. He is very professional and courteous as well as very knowledgeable about all body parts and injuries. Urban med's staff and other instructors are also amazing. read more

I joined this place a few years ago and let my membership expire when they got the Woodways and nixed the treadmills. The place is clean and friendly. If you use your fob at night, hardly anyone is there. They charge you for a deposit for the fob. I need to return mine. However, they don't have too much equipment for the monthly fee and people let other people in at night. So, I quit going. read more

'Dr. Hashish is the premier Physical Therapist of LA....I received a running evaluation / golf swing evaluation from him and he was thorough, kind, etc., and really helped me w/ my problems. I would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

I and the front office went through a bit of research to make sure Dr. Badday was in-network. Dr. Badday changed the price, after the appointment, and haggled me out of all I had at the time. He said I should get 'right on the reimbursement' from Anthem, which Anthem later told me is against their policy. I called Anthem after he ignored a phone call and many email requests to furnish the information Anthem requires for reimbursements. This is all 2 wks before Christmas. After contacting the front office again as well as his personal email address the following Monday. He replied saying he'd been out of the country and his 'IT Firm' reported a 'glitch' that had affected his email, he was unaware I knew he'd been contacted at his personal address as well. Long story but he's refused to refund my money less a copay and says he will return it once he's paid by Anthem. Which Anthem said was not in accordance with their contracts and suspicious. Furthermore Anthem said he hadn't even filed a claim, which is done electronically, it had already been more than a week since I paid him. Anthem suggested and helped me file a complaint to state insurance regulators. Urban Med has said it's not their fault or responsibility. They were included in the complaint as they assured me he was in-network and facilitated the appointment that ended in haggling. I expect to have to go to small claims court for my money. Don't do business with these people. They literally stole my Christmas. read more

The happy hour massage cannot be beat. If you can make it out in the middle of the day, do it. You can get a massage for $50 other places, but it won't be this good. Be sure to call for an appointment. read more

I would definitely not recommend Urban Med for physical therapy with Bihn Ly. Yes, the location and facility looks nice and after reading a lot of positive reviews about the place, I decided to come in for my long awaited physical therapy to heal my knee pain of two months. I left the office in 10 times more pain then I arrived, and today I've been immobile. Whatever he did to me was not good. I even consulted another doctor after my visit and he was in complete shock when he heard that the PT had me do squats on my bad knee, when I was limping to walk in the first place. Spare yourself and don't come here. He was a nice guy, but definitely not trained enough to work with delicate injuries. I'm afraid I have longer to recover now than before I came to Urban Med. read more
