Dr Patel is a great Chiropractor, however parking is terrible and you can expect him to be running 45 minutes behind schedule, every time. I used to go to him a few times a year, but becuase he is a one man show (he used to have two other Chiropractors working there), if you have a job or other obligations, unless you are the first person he sees in the morning, expect to be at his office for an hour and a half. Also, very hard to get an appointment, some times as long as a week, unless someone cancels and you can come in at the last minute. read more

Excellent chiropractor and staff while I got treatment there but once I bought the pettibon system there was zero support. I've called more than 7 times only to be promised a call back and have not received one yet. Do not buy the pettibon system they encourage you to buy because it's not very simple to use and you would have wasted your hard earned money. I'm willing to give away the pettibon system so contact me and please do not purchase this product from them. read more

My family And I have been loyal patients for almost 10 years so let that sink in. lol really great chiropractor. And here's looking forward to 10+ years read more

I so wanted to believe that chiropractors aren't a SCAM but they really ARE and the staff at good ol' Axiom Health helped me realize that. I went in the first two times and got adjustments done to my neck which is what my insurance covers. Nothing less and nothing more which is what I'm fine with. The third time I went in, they put some stimulating device on me and then did an adjustment. When I was done, I went to pay and the gentleman who I've been dealing with, Edward, said I owed my copay so I gave him my card and declined a receipt since I didn't think he was going to overcharge me. Had he given me a receipt, I would've disputed this with him then and there but again, no discussion of an extra charge. I get home and see there's an additional $40 charged to my card. I tried calling Edward to ask why and he responds with, "well you signed a consent that says you're responsible for paying the extra fee if additional treatments are done." I understand the consent that I signed but Dr. Patel NEVER INFORMED ME that this stimulating device was going to be AN ADDITIONAL COST. I would've opted out had I been informed. I tried to reason with Edward and let him know that I didn't think this was right because I wasn't informed and they DID NOT GET MY CONSENT to do an additional service. He honestly didn't care and just kept saying I signed a consent. Just because I signed a consent doesn't mean YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH ME AND CHARGE ME WITHOUT LETTING ME KNOW. That's just NOT RIGHT. Dentists just don't start fixing and doing whatever they want with your teeth and bill you for it after. Normal, moral health care specialists will inform you before they proceed with any action that's going to cost you additional money. I'm so so disappointed in how this situation was handled and how Dr. Patel and Edward conduct business. I really thought they weren't a SCAM but they just proved that they were. I've never been to a chiropractor before and I really hope my next experience is a pleasant one. I would advise anyone who has a brain to not go here because you'll be skeptical the moment you walk in. It just seems shady and it turns out, it is. Save your money and the extra money they'll charge you without you knowing and go somewhere else. read more

I am a long time user of Rudy Patel's chiropractic services for lower back pains, and neck pain. What I LOVE about Axiom is that the practice is always evolving, as Rudy studies new methods to improve patient health. Beyond traditional chiro services, he offers Healy device healing. I recently had a heart transplant, which left me with significant peripheral neuropathy in my right leg. Through the use of the Healy device, my neuropathy pain has improved, and my walking/sleeping is much more comfortable. In addition, the provide Reiki services by an expert technician. The Healy and Reiki services are non-tactile--no human touch. So important in these Covid days. I think the world of this practice, have watched it evolve to remain interesting, while always providing all traditional services. RUDY IS TERRIFIC! read more

There are so many aspects to this office that I truly love. For one the team is considerably kind, knowledgable and skilled. Dr. Rudi knows his chiropractic and has relieved my neck, back and shoulder pain. He has even gone the extra mile to show me how to use a new neck tool that has helped tremendously. Dr. KC is a gifted with his massage techniques and chiropratic adjustments. He knows how to relieve tension with just the perfect amount of pressure. Monica is so sweet and caring. She schedules your appointment exactly to accommodate your calendar. I recommend Axiom Health. read more

Dr. Patel is a great doctor. He is a miracle. My spinal was little misaligned, neck stiff and have flat feet. He recommended I get the foot sole called Foot Levelers to improve the arch in my feet. It measures how your feet are and than after few weeks, you get the foot levelers sole for your feet and wear them as instructed. It works well, though the improvement will take weeks, I can feel the difference. I don't have pain anymore. He also instructed me which stretches to do so there is less stiffness in my lower back and neck. Thank You for all you do. You are the BEST!!! Highly recommended to anyone that needs their back, and neck checked out. He will make everything better and you will feel so relieved. read more

I came here after listening to a podcast about how chiropractic relates to our psychological, physiological, emotional problems. shout out to the Rob Bell podcast :) The second I came in, I was greeted by friendly faces and Ed was full of peace. I was hurting because apparently my spine is somewhat crooked :O I know this because I got an x-ray. I have never gotten a spinal x-ray with other chiropractors so this was a first. Dr. Patel and I were having a conversation about the podcast I listened to and I could tell that he was really excited about chiropractic. Going over my x-rays with Ed helped me see that my spine needs to be one of my top health priorities. Spine health, exercise, and nutrition. I was encouraged to get the Pettibon system and I finally ordered it! I can't wait. I want my spine to be strong ( and I really want to start working out without pain!) Ed is awesome. They also have healing circles on Sundays which I am so down to try out. I'ma go get a b-12 shot read more

Dr Patel has fixed me two times. Has a very mellow approach and easily explains everything in a language we can understand. Thanks buddy.

This place is the diamond in the rough that you search online reviews to find. I have been multiple times with quite intense back pains, and the manipulations put me at ease almost instantly. The team are also really really nice to interact with and have been flexible to fit me in at the last minute, and to move things around if I have not been able to make an appointment. read more

I keep coming here because my family matters, and as the yogis say, you're only as young as your spine is flexible! read more

See all

SCAM When I went there first time to talk about my health and how his treatment would work. Dr Patel mentioned that he would spend his treatment for 30mins. But when I went there, he had treatment for me for 3-5 mins in the room. And then he said that he would come back to the room in a bit. He was gone for about 20mins. During that 20 mins, he went to another room, and was taking care of another patient. I heard that from sound. When he came back to the room in 20 mins where I was in, he says, todays treatment is over. I was like 'what the hell' Basically, I was 3-5mins of treatment of neck massage + 20 mins of just layingdown in the bed, waiting. ** I told the staff that it's not a fair treatment. The staff at axiom said that since it was my first time of visit, the Dr Patel spent little time on it. It just doesn't make sense. Worst chiropractor ever. read more

We've been seeing Dr. Patel since 2013. We were recommended by my sister in law and we continue going to this day. It started with my husband after he got hurt in an accident. I went in for an alignment and immediately felt a release that I can't even describe. I came in stiff and left limber, it was the best experience. The doctor is very friendly and polite and explains thoroughly what he's doing. Recently my son started complaining of growing pains, we brought him in and Dr. Patel's magical hands were just the relief he needed. We brought in our 13 year old daughter who unbeknownst to us was in dire need of an alignment because of all the school stressors and lack of proper posture (kids, am I right?) along with other teenage issues. We recommend Dr. Patel to everyone we know. Other family members have also been to see Dr. Patel and other services they provide at Axiom health. Overall we've had a positive experience and will continue going back. I jokingly call Dr. Patel a magical unicorn. We come in like broken toys and come out like new. read more

I have been going to Dr. Rudy Patel since 2007 and can't be more happy. Ok so other reviewers don't like the looks of the office, but honestly the treatments far outweigh the aesthetic. I've been to other chiropractors in LA who had nicer offices but were not as good and as flexible as Dr. Patel. I have a strenuous job where I sit all day looking at monitors and maintenance is really important for me. Dr. Patel has kept me in good spinal health for almost 6 years. Other positives: they are open Saturdays! I spend about 2 1/2 hours there every Saturday doing acupuncture with Art Hill, LAc and Massage with Erin Harting - who is THE best. There is also a Pilates gym in the front of the office. It is separate for Dr. Patel. Also, I don't know how seriously I would consider a review from someone who just interviewed for a receptionist job there (and obviously didn't get it)... That doesn't have anything to do with how Dr. Patel treats his patients. As a regular I see a lot of returning patients so people come and they stay. Also, I hear that yelp sometimes filters some reviews so you might not be seeing the whole picture... NOW YELP: DON'T FILTER OUT MY REVIEW BECAUSE I AM A REAL PERSON NOT A COMPUTER read more

Dr Rudy is a miracle-worker, an outstanding holistic chiropractor with powerful insights and adjustments that have helped me beyond measure. He has a very calming and caring manner, and such a depth of knowledge that he has identified root causes things that were not recognised by the best doctors in London, where I previously lived. Dr Rudy is a "chiropractor for life", at the top of his profession. I went to him after being hit by a car and having two emergency brain surgeries, and he is helping me get stronger and stronger, speeding up my recovery. I am deeply grateful for him. Did I mention that I like his work and can recommend him? read more

Winter is the season for muscle aches, coughing and back aches! Which is why I came to see Dr. Patel. My husband called ahead and they were able to accommodate me for the same day; due to my severe pain level. I desperately needed help with my stress- and computer-induced stiff neck, shoulders, and lower back. Dr. Patel was prompt, courteous, professional and very informative. He worked out my knots, released my aching muscles; and gave me a proper adjustment. I immediately felt a difference the minute he was done. It was just what I needed after a long, tiring and stressful week. I was super grateful to him! Not sold? Just wait. Every Wednesday they offer a Family Night discount deal, a great way to get some serenity in the middle of the week without breaking the bank! Book an appointment soon because they are very busy and worth it! Great experience, great service, highly recommended! If I could give Axiom Health and the rest of the staff six stars I would! Dr. Patel is a magician, he brought me back to life! Please look no further! Underline. Bold. Italics. read more

My review is long overdue. I stumbled upon this group when I lived in LA and I miss them already. I have chronic neck and shoulder issues from working at a computer and bowling. I need to go regularly to stay pain free. Dr. Patel is awesome. He knows his stuff and explains what's going on in your body. I always feel good when I leave. Leesa - she is one of a kind! She utilizes a number of different massage techniques including rolfing. I may be cursing during the session but I feel great after. What is great is that Dr. Patel will communicate with Leesa and vice-versa to help you with your issue. And then you have Ed who manages the front desk and who's the coolest and most welcoming guy. I would sit and chat with that guy and be late for work. Its a great place all around. I'm now in New York and I doubt I will find a group like this. It doesn't feel like your typical chiropractic corporate office. Give them a try! read more

I am so glad that I was able to find this doctor in my insurance network. I have to say that Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and compassionate about his patients. He actually talked to me about my history to get a feel of why I am where I am now. He explained exactly what he will be doing to help combat the pain in my shoulder. He gave a thorough exam and found that I have a lot of work needed. My should is better. I can function at my job again. I recommend him to anyone who needs an overhaul come see him. In due time I am confident that you will be running 100% again. UPDATE*** I also want to say how wonderful Dr. Patel's staff is. Ed and Tal (SP?) are just great. Ed makes you feel like an old friend and Tal is a just wonderful. She is excellent at remembering her clients by face and name. That takes a true talent to do, since I know she has to see some many clients within a day of every week. read more

I have been to numerous chiropractors, and, well, let's just say I've found the one! In the past, chiropractors had difficulty adjusting my neck (it's not easy to do, I must admit), but Dr. Patel has the magic touch! Finally some relief! Dr. Patel is very attentive and takes the time to address the unique needs of his patients. He has a confident and calm demeanor that is comforting. The other staff members are also great - friendly and accommodating. Needless to say, I'm thrilled to be a patient of Dr. Patel's! read more

I'm very particular about chiro since I have been disappointed in the past but I feel very safe with dr Patel. He seems to know my body (and mind) intuitively And his office associate Edward is also remarkable read more

Dr. Patel is a great chiropractor and I would recommend him to anyone who has back, neck, and/or leg pain! At the initial examination, he gave me a very comprehensive examination and consultation. He spotted my problem areas prior to my expression of pain and discomfort. He gave me great advice and tips on lifestyle changes to correct my posture and problem areas. He also informed me of different exercises and stretches to improve my tension and posture. After each subsequent session, there is improvement in my breathing, posture and condition. In addition, the office staff are very friendly, efficient, and courteous. read more

I have been coming to Doctor Patel for the past few months. I have to say that I actually really like him. He seems to really care about his patients, every time I go see him (I fell off my bike and injured my arms pretty intensely) he remembers what condition I was like the last time he saw me. He is also always explaining to me what he is doing, verbally or with props. I would totally recommend this place to any of my friends. The fact that my arm is healing is awesome. Appointments were never hard to make, they are very accommodating. read more

I would highly recommend Dr.Patel as a chiropractor. I recently purchased a gift certificate to go see him at a fund raiser. I had heard multiple good reviews about the magic he does and when I hurt my neck I had to see for myself . Dr. Patel had a very calm and warm presence. He was very gentle yet got all the kinks and cracks from years of wear and tear . You will walk out of that office feeling like a new person . Thank you Dr. Patel for aligning these old bones . read more

Being my first chiropractor endeavor, I was accommodated by Dr Patel (and Edward) with a tailored plan for correction given my sensitivity to the jerking motion of head rotation. My first visit was met with patience and explanation and a X ray to demonstrate the process ahead. Incredible professionals here !!!! read more

where do I begin. I begin with Gratitude. Several of Dr. Rudy's patient's are also our alkaline water store customer's. while I had no need for the services of a chiropractor; it's always nice when people think highly of another professionals work. lo and behold, the day came that I needed a chiropractor for a neck and shoulder injury. I began seeing Dr. Patel for a work-related trauma 6 months ago. He fixed me up nicely. I have recently returned for a scapula and rotator injury and I trust no one to fix me up his methodology is unique and it works. he's caring, professional & passionate about his patient's needs. His right hand man, Edward is amazing. Edward is the icing on the cake; along with Mariella. Axiom is a place where you instantly feel welcomed and safe; which is why I am grateful to have found them. Fee King read more

I have had excruciating pain in my left knee for years. Within two weeks of seeing Dr.Patel my knee pain is completely gone! I'm on my feet at least 12 hrs a day and I can't explain how much my quality of life has improved: Better posture, mobility, flexibility. I'm actually excited about going to the Dr. Lol Now we are working in correcting the rest. I highly recommend Dr.Patel . Very effective treatment,educational and a very pleasant personality. read more

I started going to Axiom Health about ten years ago. I had started to golf seriously and began exercising and running intensely. I didn't have proper training and soon began hurting myself so I went to Axiom health. After treatment I am back to good condition again. Every few months I go back for a tune-up. Dr. Patel always finds a way to heal my pain and injury. A few years ago, I had a major health problem with several surgeries. Again, Dr Patel helped me recover quickly. Dr. Patel always has a positive attitude and encourages me to take my health seriously. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me. I think the best way to thank him is to write a review of my happy experiences. Thank you Dr. Patel for taking a time to find the source of my problems and make them better! I also thank Dr. Patel's assistant, Edward, who always accommodates my needs. They both make me feel welcome and feel better by coming. read more

Dr. Patel is Awesome ! Very professional, but I don't need a fancy office to prove that to me. I have allot of problems with my hip, my neck and under my shoulder blades. Dr Patel relieves everyone of them, everytime ! He consistantly finds the root and eleveates the pain. Also I love that he recommends stretches, exercises and practical ways for me to feel better. I have been to many chiroprators, most of which I feel don't help and just want to set me up for follow up appt. Not here, I feel like Dr. Patel is actually trying to help me get better ! read more

Love the place! Great atmosphere... The people are so friendly and helpful. Dr. Smith is an amazing chiropractor and so is Dr. Patel. I feel like great after I leave. Leza does rolfing there and is unbelievable... She can cure you for whatever aliamenent you have. Edward runs the office and is friendly and knowledgeable.. read more

I've always had a great experience with Dr. Patel. I've never felt rushed and will always get detailed info on how to correct problems my body has had. Dr. P is worth the hour drive week after week. Even after today it's night/day difference walking out after an adjustment. read more

Dr. Rudy and his staff Pal (Spelling?) are the best and I would recommend them to anyone suffering pain. I came with very bad neck and shoulder pain. It was hard to move! Pal was super nice and compassionate and made me feel very at ease. She's awesome. She went above and beyond to work with my insurance provider and was totally honest and trust worthy. When I saw the doctor, I was blown away at how empathetic he was and how he actually LISTENED to what I had to say. He took the time to really understand me. He was totally accurate and intuitively found and cured my issues. They truly care about people and helping them. I have so much respect for his practice, and am so luck to have found it! Thank you both. read more

I began going to Axiom about 3 months ago with back pain, alignment issues and tightness. Since then my back has been feeling great. I have been going on a weekly basis and I am always looking forward to getting adjusted. Aside from the amazing work that Dr. Patel does, the remaining staff Edward and Kalim are great! They are all beyond helpful and truly care about their patients. They have given me great guidance and help to resolve my issues. I would highly recommend Axiom to anyone looking for a good chiropractor. read more

Dr Patel is a wonderful Chiropractor. He really cares for his patients and the healing work he does. I have had more restful sleep in over a year, felt more aligned. He gives me simple tips on caring for the structure of my body and relieving stress. The plus is he is very affordable and easy location. read more

It has taken me a while to get to where I feel like I can write a review of this business because my experience there was so distressing and unpleasant that it is quite a task for me to try to sum up all my feelings about my visit there. A little over a month ago I had to brake suddenly while driving and gave myself whiplash. While I only felt slightly sore initially, by the next morning I was experiencing intense pain and discomfort. Instead of driving out to Kaiser and waiting for what might not be immediate relief, I decided to use their service referral website to find a local chiropractor in my area who might be able to do something to make me feel better sooner. Apparently Kaiser's referral system does not screen those who apply to take part in their program because when I showed up for my appointment with Dr. Rudy Patel I walked into what looked more like a cut-rate travel agency than a doctor's office. Initially Dr. Patel was fairly helpful and professional, having me fill out some paperwork pertaining to my insurance plan. However, when he tried to input my insurance information into his computer he had difficulties getting Kaiser to register that he was going to be reimbursed through them for his services. After about 20 minutes of trying to get his computer to work, or the website to work, or a combination of these things, he finally took me into a room to begin treatment. The room was a bad sign: barren and with pieces of equipment propped against the wall along the floor. The table he put me on looked like a used masseuse table. Instead of the normal kinds of paper they cover doctor's tables with, Dr. Patel used a bath towel. We talked for a bit and then he got out some equipment for the therapy. He attached electrodes to my shoulders (something I'm familiar with from older sports injuries) and a heavy towel onto my shoulders for heat and pressure. Finally, some relief! I was almost starting to relax when I heard Dr. Patel get on the phone with a Kaiser representative and proceed to argue over the cost of my visit for no less than half an hour. Half an hour! The timer on the therapy machine had turned itself off ten minutes before Dr. Patel returned to check on me. Until then I was only able to stare at the white walls in front of me and wait for him to finish his "business". The worst part of my experience was the x-ray room. I don't know when I was last so scared by a doctor's office that I felt like crying. When I walked into Dr. Patel's storage closet that appears to double as an x-ray room I lost all confidence in him. Amidst paint cans and cardboard boxes I was expected to relax and feel comfortable being exposed to radiation? How was I supposed to know if his machine was even working correctly and not exposing me to more harmful rays than I needed to be? I'm not sure why I stuck around, but I was in a lot of pain so that must have been enough to keep me there. I couldn't get out of that place fast enough. The whole way home I was sobbing. My next move was to immediately go to the Kaiser ER (which I should have done in the first place). Not only did Dr. Patel fail at relieving my pain but I think he probably made it slightly worse! The doctor at the ER later told me that (in his opinion) any chiropractor worth his salt would never have worked on somebody with whiplash without really examining them first, especially if they'd never seen them before. I don't know how true that is, but based on what the doctor told me I am confident that Dr. Patel had no idea what he was doing. This is a long review, so here's the important thing to take away from this: do not go to this chiropractor. He is neither professional nor effective. read more

I have been treated by Dr. Patel for about 11 years. The clinic is a little rough around the edges, but the care has always been excellent. Kind of like going to a restaurant and having so so decor, but the food being really tasty. Same thing, I would rather have quality care than fancy decor. read more

I've been in multiple rear-end collisions and have had several sports related injuries. I also sit at a computer all day which is a killer on my back. I got really tired of going to my GP and being prescribed pain killers so I started looking into chiropractic care to hopefully find a cure for my periodic back pain. Every chiropractor I saw wanted to put me on a treatment plan and had me coming in for treatments several times a week. Each time they had an assistant put a heat pad on me and gave me a general adjustment and sent me on my way. After several weeks and not seeing much improvement I stopped going. After a particularly bad sports injury, about two years ago, I was referred to Dr. Patel. 30 minutes with this guy and I immediately felt a lot better. I had never had that experience before. He seemed to know exactly what the issue was and was able to zero in on the source of my pain. I was still skeptical due to my past experiences so I notched it up to being a lucky break. Since then, I have seen Dr. Patel on several occasions and the results have always been nothing short of amazing. I will admit that I am not the ideal patient. I don't have the time or patience to keep going for several treatments to finally start feeling better, I'm always looking for a quick fix. I have never been more impressed with a doctor as I have been with Patel. He seems to always know exactly how to treat an issue and is extremely thorough and professional. I have since recommended him to several of my colleagues (who all work on computers all day) and they all have had very positive experiences with Dr. Patel. read more

The massage was OK. Unfortunately, I don't know about you but I don't like to receive a sales pitch about all the other treatments I should get in future session DURING the massage. Also, at the beginning of the session the masseuse came in the room with her dog, which in the middle of the session started to complain because it wanted to get out... read more

I have been going to Dr. Patel for many years. He is always able to find the cause accurately and explain the treatment to me. My experience has been great. So is my husband. We both have been seeing him for many years. read more

I have a problem with my left shoulder. I've gone to two chiropractors in the past. For both of them, they messed around with other parts of my back and my shoulders, but never quite addressing my left shoulder issue. Suffice it to say that after several visits, I have not seen results with the other two. However, with Doctor Patel, I noticed a marked improvement within the first week. The pain is still there, but I am feeling the improvements. Essentially, he really listened to my problem and addressed/continuing to address that problem. Additionally, Doctor Patel was able to accommodate my schedule. Due simply to the nature of my business, I have a hard time getting out during regular business hours. So whenever I make an appointment with Doctor Patel, it's usually at 6:30, sometimes closer to 7. Each time, he's been very accommodating. I've recommended Doctor Patel's practice to my colleagues, and I strongly recommend him to the Yelp community. read more

I have been going to Dr. Patel for years now and I feel much better than when we first met. He was recommended to me by a coworker. She had gotten in a car accident and was experiencing back pain. She spoke very highly of him so I decided to give him a try. I think he's great too. Dr. Patel is very friendly I'm horrible at keeping appointments so I don't usually make them and somehow always manages to squeeze me in. I am happy with him. I would totally recommended him to anyone in pain. read more
