Six Weeks, Life-Changing Results. Dr. David Kuo Sets the SGV Standard Twelve sessions, six weeks, fixed what two full years of military-issued physical therapy and pain-management clinics could not. I walked in bent, stiff, and skeptical, but I walked out feeling like my lower back took a victory lap. Dr. Kuo's precision is the difference. He doesn't just crack and send you home. He demonstrates why each adjustment matters and walks you through mobility corrections. In my case he used the Graston technique with surgical accuracy and the result was instant relief that actually stuck. Questions? He welcomes them. I asked him about fascia science, scar tissue, joint mechanics.... nothing rattled him. Every answer was clear, evidence-based, and actionable. Also, Anna at the front desk is amazing. She remembers your name and locks in appointments with zero back-and-forth. You're greeted, checked in, and on the table before other offices would still have you filling forms. If you need a chiropractor in the San Gabriel Valley, skip the coupon hunters and schedule with Dr. Kuo. He delivers measurable progress, not placebo pats on the back. If you want outcomes over gimmicks, choose Dr. Kuo. read more

I'm very grateful to Dr Hayashi and the staff for her professionalism and kindness. As a 1st time chiropractic patient, she took the time to assess my concerns and addressed my chronic pain without overwhelming my physical body. I look forward to continuing my health journey with Dr Hayashi and her team. read more

Hayashi is a Terrible Dr. who change appointment without notice and any explanations. the office receptionist pretty incompetence of during her job. really not sure who should be the one to tell patients on last minute change to Dr Kuo without notice and consent. Dr Kuo is very rude to his patients, although, he know that every patients to see them are because of pain. he push and force patient to move with pain. worse part, is that he did not inform us prior authorization is required to see him at very last minutes and said he can not preform any treatment until insurance approved! Totally waste time and money, and suggest anyone who is interested to see him ask all concern before visit this sh@t hole place. read more

I have been Dr. Kuo's patient for about 3 years now, but due to recent insurance changes, I had to bid my farewells to his office. I'm still feeling pretty guilt-ridden, so I figured this would be the best time to finally write him a long-due review.  I initially came into his office to help treat with wrist pain caused from typing away in an office all day. After having my first consultation with him, he noticed that my posture was out of whack (habitual sloucher), and determined that my pain could have been caused by nerve issues coming all the way from my neck, so I had to go to an imaging center to get a better idea. The moment he and I evaluated my x-rays together, Dr. Kuo shook my hand and said, "My name is Dr. David Kuo and you'll be seeing me for a very long time." It was a pretty life-altering statement to hear from a provider to put it shortly. So, to better help myself and my bodily health, I did. Pretty consistently, too. Fortunately for me, Dr. Kuo is great at what he does. Most of the time, it hurts like hell, but you'll feel the effectiveness of those treatments help a few days after. In addition to treatments in the office, he'll provide different stretches and exercises to be done at home to help alleviate certain pains. But looking pass the physical treatments that has definitely brought me some beady eyes on some days, he's a caring and empathetic doctor who also suffers from chronic back issues. This is partly why he's a doctor now, but definitely ask him to tell you that story yourself, because he loves to have fun and thoughtful conversations with his patients, be it about his love of giant dogs, his skeptics on Burning Man, to his aspirations of making a mid-life crisis purchase on a Slingshot.  Still feeling pretty bummed because I'm really going to miss my visits here with Dr. Kuo and Anna, and I'm certainly dreading the process of restarting and finding a different provider. But for those of you who have the privilege of seeing him, you'll definitely be taken care of by the both of them. read more

12 years being their patient Dr. DAVID is the best only minus he doesn't like president Trump Ha ha ha other than that read more

Dr. David Kuo has been awesome!!! My mom had been suffering from a slip disc and she's seen so many type doctors that could not help alleviate the pain. My aunt recommended Dr. Kuo to my mom after he had help treat her shoulder pain. So I called and made an appointment for my mom to see him. First of all let me say Dr. Kuo really good bedside manner and professionalism. I can say this because I'm a registered nurse and I've seen my share of doctors and how they treat their patients. He's very thorough in his explanation to make sure you feel comfortable. But after seeing Dr. Kuo for a little over two months my mom has notice her back pain has improved drastically. After seeing how he helped my mom and when I suffered a workout injury. I went to go see Dr. Kuo and he has helped me recovery from the injury and now I am pain free again. Dr. Kuo and his office staff are very professional and caring. I would recommend him to anyone with any kind of pain. Parking: There is plenty of parking in this medical plaza read more

I've been seeing Dr Kuo for over a year and he's been extremely helpful. I first came to him when I was having lower back issues. Months later he helped me with neck issues as well. He is knowledgeable, kind, jovial, and, best of all, caring. I'm thankful for his care. Also, shoutout to Anna at the front desk! Always friendly and accommodating! read more

This doctor is very forceful like he's always upset. He will charge you 25 dollars if you're late. When insurance no longer covered my care, he wouldn't let me pay for just his decompression machine which is all I needed. Very inflexible and always upset. His adjustments hurt. I don't recommend. read more

Me and wife had neck pain and back pain which we found Dr.Kuo through yelp and the treatment that he provides really improved our condition! He's also knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, we'd recommend to anyone who has chiro related issue! read more

I have been experiencing back pain including pain radiating down my right leg for well over a year. Out of desperation to seek for pain relief, I found Dr. Kuo. Even though I've only seen him for less than two weeks, I have already felt a lot of relief and feel confident that as the weeks go by with more treatment , my pain will only decrease. Dr. Kuo is extremely professional, very perceptive and really takes the time to identify the core issue of the problem. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. KUO. read more

Dr Kuo has helped me solve my lower back tightness problem I have been experiencing for several years. Wish I came here sooner. My usual visit consist of first electro stimulation, then a round on the dolphin chair with some stretching, then the real work comes to breakup the scar tissues, some adjustments (cracking), and finishing up with stretching. The overall visit takes about 30 mins and theres usually not much wait as its by appointments. Both Dr Kuo and Ann are super friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly Recommended. If you've been experiencing aches and pains i suggest you get it checked out instead of trying to deal with it and let the problem linger. I did that and built up lots of scar tissue around my lower back problem. read more

Dr. Kuo gets down to business and literally attacks your issues right away. I initially came in to get treated for my left ankle so that I could prance around Europe and Africa for 25 days. It was a stubborn injury I'd lived with for 3yrs that I didn't dedicate time to getting treated properly. I knew it would be an unpleasant trip spent hobbling around if I didn't get it fixed up beforehand. Well, guess what?! This girl walked all around Europe and Africa with no issues! I was even able to log 10mi in one day according to FitBit (yes, even after factoring in the time difference)! I also received treatment for the following persistent issues: - Numbness in the left arm and 4th and 5th fingers (I feel stuff!) - Left knee pain (I was able to run a 10K with knee taped!) - Lower back pain (comes and goes) - Neck pain (comes and goes) Dr. Kuo was recommended to me by my brother and I would recommend him to others!! Everyone in the office is super nice, friendly, accommodating, and personable! read more

Dr David Kuo is amazing he saved me from back pain. He is not your ordinary chiropractic doctor he cares for your daily routines that can contribute to your body aches. read more

I've been seeing Dr Kuo every week for pretty much the last 12 months. Before seeing him, I was suffering from constant back pain from some injuries in the past. After I saw physical therapists at Kaiser and my condition did not improve, I decided to give Dr Kuo a try. Upon my first visit, he had me take an X-ray and explained his diagnosis in detail, going over the root causes of my pain and how we'll treat it. I didn't get anything like this at Kaiser! It's been almost a year now and my back condition has improved dramatically. I can't remember the last time I had a back spasm. Thank you! read more

David Kuo is an excellent chiropractor because of his knowledge and patience in explaining his methods to your adjustments. He also spends time on the areas you want to get fix. Hes not your everyday chiropractor where you just go in and get adjusted. He intends to fix on an area where you feel the worst, so then both the doctor and yourself will know how to prevent future pain. I highly recommend him. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kuo now for almost two years on a weekly basis and this experience has definitely been a life changer. After being misdiagnosed by multiple doctors and frequently visiting urgent cares I decided to see a chiropractor to relieve a little bit of the pain. Upon the first visit Dr. Kuo requested x-rays, keep in mind no other doctor had asked for this even before I had a surgery to address this pain. Once the x-rays came back, he made a diagnosis which made a lot of sense and he has been treating it ever since. I have a very stressful career and some weeks are better than others but my pain level has greatly improved since seeing Dr. Kuo. I am off all of the medications that was previously prescribed by the other doctors and see Dr. Kuo weekly for maintenance. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Kuo! read more

Ever gone to a chiropractor and asked yourself what he actually did to you? Hook up some wires for 10 minutes and let you take a nap? Maybe an adjustment once every 3 visits? Dr. Kuo has done an adjustment to me on every visit. He's flexible with scheduling and doesn't chew me out too much when I'm late. Best chiropractor I've been to ever, hands down. read more

Got lowerback and neck pain due to a recent car accident, David is really professional and knows what he is doing. Will stick with his care plan and hopefully I be pain free soon. read more

His skills to unknot a knot is phenomenal! I first came into his office complaining about mid back pain and through the treatment, he pointed out spots that I didn't know affected me. After receiving treatment I feel A1! He's very hygienic and a very kind person! He's a very good conversationalist and is willing to explain the reasons behind his treatments. He's also very flexible, so if you really need to see him and you don't have an appointment, he'll try to fit you in! The office staff is really nice and on top of their stuff! They always make you feel welcomed and they always offer Chinese candies and sometimes Canadian snacks! The person in the front desk will help you and is very funny! Overall, this office is pretty good and I would recommend it to all of my friends who seek help for the chiropractic needs! read more

I've been using Dr. Kuo's services for about 2 months now, and I really appreciate the work he does to put my body back into a functioning state. I'm always greeted warmly and asked how i'm doing when I enter the building. I get straight-forward answers to my questions and concerns regarding the state of my body and future treatments.Most importantly, I leave the office feeling completely satisfied and balanced. I had pain around my hips and thighs for a year or two, never understood why, and eventually it started to hinder my sleeping habits. With the consultation, viewing the x-rays I had taken, and developing a treatment plan, I walked out of the office a little scared for the future. However, week after week, the pain got less intense. I began to walk without slightly veering to the left and hitting corners with my shoulders. I could sleep without feeling like a twisted pretzel. Eventually, I developed a sense for when my body became out-of-whack and needed treatment. Not all treatment is a quick fix and done. Healing takes time, and I'm glad I chose to call Dr. Kuo's office to schedule an appointment after putting off treatment for a long time. Dr. Kuo does honest, good work. I thank him and his staff for all that they do for me. read more

Decided to visit Dr. Kuo because my back pain wasn't going away. During my first visit, he referred me to the xray center downstairs and was able to diagnose the cause of my pain immediately after. Since then, I've been visited Dr. Kuo weekly for treatment and my back pain has improved significantly. He is very personable and he truly cares about his patients. read more

Such a great experience. I came in with a sharp pain in my lower neck/upper back. Dr. Kuo really takes the time to explain to you why you're feeling pain and what treatments he's going to do. Week after week, he explains to you whether or now he feels that your muscles are less scarred, and you experience the pain is going away, which is amazing! I love that you can ask Dr. Kuo any question about your condition, and he never makes you feel like your question is dumb. So glad I stumbled across Dr. Kuo in my search for a chiropractor. read more

Dr. Kuo is a savior, I have been to many doctors for my back pain and none of them were able to help me manage my back pain. Dr. Kuo uses Unique techniques at Chiro Pain Care Center that I am seen anywhere else. read more

I've only been coming here a short time but in the time that I have, Dr. Kuo has demonstrated that he cares dearly for his patients and zones in directly on their problems. He tries to explain the issue in detail so that the patient understands why the treatment needs to be done as well as exercises and advice on how to avoid it in the future. Some of the treatments are painful but they help immensely. On top of all that Dr. Kuo and his staff are incredibly nice, easy going, and genuinely fun to talk to. Hands down one of the best chiropractors/doc's I've been to. read more

I am so grateful for not only his chiropractic adjustments and care but also for his guidance in navigating the confusing labyrinth of working with insurance companies after a car accident. The staff is lovely to work with. Disney movies are often playing in the waiting room, and soothing music is on the stereo in the dimly lit electronic stimulation room. Can't recommend David Kuo's practice and services enough! read more

Dr David Kuo is an excellent chiropractor. He is professional and patience. He did a great job too help me release my low back pain.

I highly recommend seeing him if you need a chiropractor. Dr. Kuo may have an intimidating face but he's actually friendly and caring. He likes to ask about your life and what's new so it's never one of those awkward silent doctor visits. He has very good interpersonal skills. I see Dr. Kuo to prevent my scoliosis from worsening. He made me more anxious about my condition in the foreseeable future but at least I know I'm doing something about it while I'm still young. Aside from adjusting my spine, he has also instructed me to do some exercises at home to strengthen my back muscles. I've also had hand treated after a major car accident. I wasn't able to put force on my hand for weeks so I asked him to look at it. He ended up cracking it back into place and it was fine again!! The process of pushing your muscles back into place may be extremely painful but well worth it. He also tends to my aging father and gives him tips beyond the scope of chiropractics to enhance his lifestyle. Also, shout out to the receptionist, Winnie. She's very nice and puts on interesting shows/movies to watch on the big screen t.v. so you won't get bored in the waiting room. I also like how I get text notifications the day before my appointment so I never forget! read more

Dr Kuo is great! I've never been to a chiropractor before but after an accident, I came to his practice after reading his good reviews on Yelp. There is barely any wait time as its mostly appointment-based, and the whole treatment takes around ~30 minutes. Another bonus is that he is open til 6:30 so it was enough time for me to get there without taking too much time off from work. Ana was also very kind and personable to see as well (I'll miss our boba and GOT talks!). He has good bedside manner and is thorough in explaining my lower back injuries and willing to answer any questions you may have. He is also knowledgeable, funny, a great conversationalist and most importantly not your typical doctor that just tries to hurry you out of their office. The treatment involved electro stimulation, stretching, breaking up the scar tissues, and adjustments. He also gives you some stretches to do at home as well. Dr Kuo really does care about the health and well-being of his patients and will always ask how you're feeling, how your weekend was etc so its never an awkward, quiet visit. My lower back has felt significantly better since getting treatment from Dr Kuo and I feel much better knowing he did what he could so my spasms don't come back. I'm usually skeptical of Yelp ratings, but after coming to him for ~3.5 months, the ratings are justified. I will definitely be coming back if I need it and will refer all of my friends/family. read more

I highly recommend seeing David for chiropractic services in the San Gabriel Valley area. He's very friendly and easy to communicate with. He is very knowledgeable and caring. He educates you on all sorts of exercises and facts about the issue on hand. He's truthful about whether or not a joint/bone problem can be fixed. Great doctor with great interpersonal skills. If I ever have any more joint/bone issues, I would drive the extra distance to see him. read more

My experience with chiro pain care center has been amazing. I was looking for a chiropractor for a couple of months it was so hard and covid wasn't helping neither, nobody was returning my calls and the ones that did reached out didn't take my insurance. I had given up hope, and my back was giving up too. But then I got a call from a super friendly  Receptionist Ana. She walked me through the  process and set up my first appointment with Dr. David Kuo. I've been to other chiropractor in the past and they never seemed to addressed the real problem, it's was always been a quick fix. But I was hopeful this time. The office was easy to find they had a lot a parking spaces available. I walk in and was greet by Ana, she had me take a seat and then I meet Dr. David kuo, he was super nice as well. I explained my back pain to him the best I could, he had me get some x-ray so he would have a better idea how to treat my pain. I came back a few days later and he looked worried, he said that I had 2 bad disks in my lower back and a curved spine, basically I had an old man's back. But he was determined to help me get better, skipping ahead 9 months later and a lot of hard work from Dr. David kou and myself, I feel like my old self again the pain that I've been living with for 8 years was gone and I feel like a new man. Dr. David kou is an amazing person for never giving up on me, I couldn't thank him enough for given me my life back and not have to live in fear that the next time I bend over would be the time I get up. Thank you and the great stuff as well. read more

Bernadette C. It took me a while to find a good chiropractor in my area. The day before I saw Dr. David Kuo, I had excruciating pain on my upper back, chest and neck. I thought I was having a heart attack. Dr. Kuo patiently explained to me my condition based on my X-rays and what he could do to help me. Every week I've been having significant improvement. For more than two years I would have pain in my lower back every time I would bend. I'm practically pain free now. Dr. David Kuo is heaven-sent! He is so passionate to help his patients get healed. I highly recommend him to every one who has back pain and chronic ailment. read more

Dr.Kuo is an AMAZING chiropractor that really understands and connects with his patients. I highly recommend him!!!! Thank you for always fixing me ! read more

Hands down, David is one of the best doctors I've had the pleasure of knowing! I first went to see him in early 2015 because of lower back pain. He noticed I had a serious but treatable problem. I was very anxious and concerned but David was willing to take the time to explain why I had the condition as well as layout a course of treatment that fit my lifestyle and schedule, so all of my fears and anxieties were quickly relieved. After several weeks of treatment we became friends. I really appreciated his willingness to spend extra time and personal attention, even with health issues outside the scope of my treatment. How many doctors will contact you by Facebook or text to make sure you're doing okay, or send you information that may be helpful. It was because of David's attentiveness to my health that he was able to diagnose a unrelated problem which had been ailing me for a long time. And for this I will be forever grateful because I am able resume a lifestyle which I previously was no longer able to lead. If you're looking for a doctor with experience and knows what he's talking about, can get the job done, and most importantly, CARES about his patients, David Kuo is the one you should see. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM to anyone I know. read more

Very happy about the treatment for my neck. After few sessions the pain was less. I'm very satisfied with the help of Dr. Kuo.

Awesome service, they really care about you and your pains. The secretary and the doctor were super friendly and welcoming. They welcome you with a big smile. Plus, if you arrive early to your appointment, they will take you (if time permits, of course). All in all, I would highly recommend. P.s. Dr. Kuo helped me find directions to a place I wanted to go when I left my phone at home!!! read more

It's a pleasure to write a review for Dr. Kuo. I highly recommend Dr. Kuo because he helped me recovered from a misalignment of my jaw bone many years ago which caused severe headaches and dizziness. Also, Dr. Kuo help healed my Achilles that was in pain for many months. I only wished someone told me about Dr. Kuo earlier. Thank you Dr. Kuo for your expertise and for giving me my life back! Allan P.S. At least go get a consultation and he'll tell you if he can help you or not. read more

What is it that everyone seeks in a doctor? Whether it's a primary or a specialist, I believe we all want a doctor who is straightforward, honest, and tailors diagnosis/treatment to the patient's condition (not just use a template). Dr. Kuo is all that in one package. After years and years of having multiple doctors sell my headache off as just a headache, prescribing me a candy shop of pain killers (I ripped up all prescriptions in anger), and telling me my CTs and X-Rays were fine, I finally found a doctor who is willing to investigate further into the headache. After the very first session, Dr. Kuo was able to tell me he suspects a pinched occipital nerve which was later confirmed with an X-Ray. Once he was sure of it, it took him only 2 sessions before I noticed the headache was completely gone. The drilling and excruciating pain that mapped the entire left half of my head was lifted like magic. Initially I did not really want to believe the 5-star rating, but Dr. Kuo has more than prove the rating to be accurate. I will definitely be referring my friends and family here for their chronic issues. read more

Dr. Kuo is a lifesaver. I've been to many chiropractors - some better than others. I knew Dr. Kuo was different when after the initial consultation, he immediately ordered an x-ray of my affected area. After reviewing my x-ray he was able to diagnose the problem and put together a treatment plan for me. Dr. Kuo seems more like a medical doctor than any chiropractor I've ever seen. He's funny and kind, and knows what he's doing. Go see him - you won't regret it. read more

I don't normally write reviews but I feel I need to with this place. I have been coming to Dr. Kuo for the past two years ever since my car accident. My neck was experiencing major pains and I immediately felt more range of motion after just my first visit. After several sessions, my neck is better than ever. Months after my neck was all better, I ended up tweaking my back golfing and went back to get my back worked on. I went in barely able to walk and come out walking with no problem. Just a few months ago, I came back to see Dr. Kuo more frequently as I was experiencing shoulder pain and later on knee pain. My shoulder pain is virtually none and now we are working on my knee. I would highly recommend anyone to Dr. Kuo if they are experiencing any pain with their body. read more

Dr. Kuo is an awesome chiropractor and very attentive. He is also very flexible with scheduling too especially for my very busy schedule. I came in for neck + back pain and he has done an adjustment on me every visit. I would definitely recommend this office. read more
