Doctor Koleen is absolutely amazing! I first started seeing her when my baby was 5 1/2 months old, and now she is 17 months. I'm still a nursing mom, and during the newborn stage I noticed clicking while feeding, which made me think it might be a high palate. My lactation consultant recommended seeing a chiropractor for overall support and stretching. I live in Glendale, and after searching, I came across Focus Chiropractic because of their excellent reviews--and now I can confidently say they are all well deserved. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by Ashley's beautiful smile. It's so comforting to be greeted by such a kind and warm person--my baby immediately feels that positive energy. Then there's Doctor Koleen, who has such a fun, intuitive, and genuinely caring personality. My baby always enjoyed her gentle stretches, and Doctor Koleen reassured me that everything was okay while also teaching me helpful techniques to reduce the clicking. Since then, we've continued to see her through every important milestone--crawling, walking, and beyond. I truly enjoy our visits so much that even when there's no specific reason, I still want to go! In fact, I'll soon be making an appointment with her husband, Richard, for myself. Breastfeeding has caused quite a bit of tightness and discomfort in my shoulders, and I trust their care completely. Thank you, Doctor Koleen, for being so genuine, kind, and attentive from the very first day we met you. Thank you for recognizing my dedication as a mom and for your kind words--they truly mean so much to me. God bless you, your family, and your business. We love you read more

Long story short, tummy time was a huge struggle for my baby. He completely refused to be on his stomach. I later found out that he was diagnosed with an abdominal hernia. We were referred to physical therapy, but despite attending sessions, I didn't feel like there was much progress. I became extremely anxious because I could tell how uncomfortable my son was all the time. On top of that, he was dealing with eczema, and it broke my heart to see him not meeting his gross motor milestones on time. That's when I decided to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kolleen, and I truly wish I had seen her sooner. She was absolutely amazing with my son and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. The way she engages with her patients and communicates with parents immediately puts you at ease. She spent about an hour with my son during our first visit, and just a few days after that single session, my son finally rolled onto his tummy and was able to tolerate it. We continued seeing her, and after each session I noticed how much more comfortable my son felt in his own body. The relief I felt as a parent was indescribable. After a few sessions, my son began crawling. I couldn't be more pleased and grateful for Dr. Kolleen. She truly made such a difference in our lives, and I would recommend her to any parent who feels stuck, worried, or unsure about their child's progress. The only thing I would wish for is that they offer some occasional openings on a Saturday. It's bit of a drive for me (yet worth it) but would be convenient. But at the same time, Im also glad they don't offer weekend appointments because I see how important it is her for to spend the weekend with her family. read more

I first came to see Dr. Koleen many years ago when my unborn baby wouldn't turn days before my due date. After the adjustment, thankfully he turned to the correct position. My 10 year old has seen Dr. Richard a few times for help with tics (tourettes), constipation and injury. I love how clean and beautiful the office is and how kind and calm both doctors are. They really know how to talk to children and make them feel comfortable. Highly recommend this chiropractic office. read more

Here's your text with grammar and flow corrected (no content changed): Dr. Kolleen and her husband are the most amazing, warm, friendly, and talented chiropractors my wife and I have ever met. They're incredibly kind, highly professional, and masters of their craft. When we took our baby there, we were welcomed like family, and you could immediately tell how genuine they are as people. When my wife and I first started taking our newborn, we thought we were the only ones who noticed her leaning to one side, her forehead being slightly pushed in, and her seeming weak on one side. During the initial consultation, Dr. Kolleen gently adjusted our baby, and we were so surprised after just one visit--we were mind-blown! This is now our third session with her, and all the imperfections we noticed are almost completely gone. If you want the best care for yourself or your baby, I would absolutely recommend going to Focus Chiropractic. read more

Dr. Kolleen worked with our baby during his first 3 months. He was having trouble latching and he struggled to turn his neck left. As new parents it was just incredible to see our son making progress and being visibly relieved for extended periods of time due to Dr. Kolleen's work. She was very generous with her time and we also felt she genuinely cared for our son. read more

We had such a wonderful experience with Kolleen at Focus Chiropractic! I instantly felt calm knowing my daughter was in such good hands. She's truly a baby whisperer--walking you through every step as she gently works with your little one. The adjustments are more like light, soothing massages that relax and realign their tiny bodies. After just one session, we noticed visible improvements in my baby's facial symmetry and stiff neck. I can't recommend her enough! Friends of ours with a colicky baby sent us her way, and I'm so grateful they did. read more

My family has been going to Focus Chiropractic for quite a while and I think it's very appropriate that they are called "Focus" Chiropractic -- because they focus so intentionally on their patients' well-being. When you go to an appointment with Dr. Richard or Dr. Kolleen, they make you feel as if you are they only person in the world, and it's sincere. They truly care about their patients and their office is such a calm and peaceful place. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Kolleen is a miracle worker! I was skeptical about seeing a pediatric chiropractor with my 3 week old, but I was also desperate -- my baby was having so much trouble latching, and I was about to give up on trying to breastfeed. Dr. Kolleen was kind, patient, and SO gentle with my little one (who absolutely melted in Dr. Kolleen's arms!) After one session my newborn was finally able to latch and has been breastfeeding successfully ever since. I'm so grateful! read more

My whole family has had the best experience w Dr Kolleen & Dr Richard. Post c section I had major back issues that kept me from working out and being able to comfortably hold my daughter for months. A good friend recommend I come here. After a few sessions w Dr Richard - my back feels the best it has in years! I am so grateful. My husband tweaked something working out and was able to come in and see Dr Richard as well and had the same positive experience. I bring my four year old to Dr Kolleen and now loves going back! She grew quickly and was having some aches in her legs and hasn't complained about the pain since her couple visits. I'm looking forward to bringing my younger daughter in soon. These are truly the most wonderful people and I'm so grateful for their help! read more

Our entire office experience was INCREDIBLE. There are no words for the type of care we received during our visit. From the moment we walked through the door, we were treated like family and given so much support. The professionalism of both Dr. Richard and Dr. Kolleen is unmatched. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing they are and how comfortable they make you feel. I'm thankful to have them as our chiropractors. read more

Dr .Richard took care of my 14 year old sons quickly growing body. And had a great session with knowledgeable information and much needed humor. I trust him with my family and loved ones, I always have. He gave my son some tips on how to best live his optimum Life in his body. How to care and listen to it. My son is 6ft tall and Dr. Richard was able to handle him with much care. Effective and caring. Always in good hands here at Focus Chiropractic. read more

Dr. Kolleen and her husband Dr. Richard are the most magical team of chiropractors I could ever recommend. She is not only a colleague of mine, but also a very dear friend. I refer so many of my babies to her, including my own family, and the results never fall short of amazing. The feedback my clients and family give me about their experiences with both of them are always positive. I have even gone for myself for my own health needs and it has been extremely beneficial to my health journey. I highly recommend going to them for yourself, your pregnancy, your babies, and everything in between. Dr. Kolleen is so gentle, firm, and effective with her touch, technique, and trade. Such a one of a kind human. Her husband is the same. He is so precise in his care and they always follow up with such intent and love. I can't speak highly enough about both of them. Thank you for the love you give to all my patients, my family, and me. read more

Focus Chiropractic is such a lovely Chiro office and Dr. Richard is such a gem! He's highly knowledgeable, intuitive, accommodating and makes you feel comfortable. The office specializes in pediatric and maternity adjustments but he's an incredible Chiro for athletes and movement instructors. I teach fitness classes and workout often so my body is in constant need of recovery. I leave his office feeling more mobile and nourished with each visit. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about focus chiropractic. My family has been going here for over 3 years. I have received prenatal and postpartum care throughout two different pregnancies and both of my daughters have received pediatric care here. Both of my deliveries resulted in very fast pushing, which I credit to my wonderful pelvis that was worked on by Doctor Richard. He has also helped me tremendously through two postpartum periods and is so knowledgeable about the changes that women's bodies go through from pregnancy, labor, and into the postpartum stage. He gives an amazing adjustment and I always feel immediate relief. My first daughter received care here in order to avoid having to wear a helmet. She was getting a flat head and both Doctor Kolleen and Doctor Richard worked on her and helped shape and mold her head and gave me exercises to do with her at home. My younger daughter currently receives care from Doctor Kolleen. Dr Kolleen helped release tension from her body after labor and has helped my breastfeeding journey tremendously by getting my daughter to latch properly. Every time I come here I am treated like family. My favorite thing is that they are not pushy and do not want to sell you fancy packages that cost thousands of dollars. They try to make sure you get significant improvement from each visit and I find myself booking an appointment even more frequently than they recommend because I just love coming here! read more

Dr. Kolleen was amazing with our baby. You can tell she really cares about making sure that both parents and baby are supported and informed through the journey. Our baby was really tight and contracted for weeks after birth, making it hard to feed and soothe her, and after one visit we noticed she was much more relaxed. Everyone at the office was super nice and just wanted to ensure baby was thriving. Thank you! read more

I really appreciate the relief Dr. Kolleen was able to bring me in the third trimester of my pregnancy. I was seeing a physical therapist to help with sciatica but I was still in intense pain from SPD (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction), which I had never heard of until it happened to me. I had difficulty getting dressed, getting out of the car, and with a lot of other activities of daily living due to the pain I was feeling. I reached out to some local mom groups on facebook for help and kept hearing about Dr. Kolleen when it came to SPD. So thankful for their recommendation because Dr. Kolleen was able to alleviate pain when no one else had been able to help me. Whenever I had an appointment with her the SPD and sciatic pain was so much more manageable for several days; by the end of my pregnancy I tried to go in every week. My back also felt a lot better after going in. Dr. Kolleen definitely knows all the areas that are painful for pregnant women carrying a big baby. I wasn't able to use my insurance, UHC, but I appreciated that it was still affordable as a short term solution. Honestly, UHC didn't have ANY chiropractors who specialize in prenatal health so I am very thankful I ended up just working with Dr. Kolleen anyway and focusing on feeling better. This office is the definition of self care and if I am experiencing any more pain in the future I know to come here. read more

Compassionate, professional care. I was referred by a neighbor and won't go anywhere else as long as I'm in SoCal ;) don't worry if you aren't a mom or mom to be- they can help anyone :) read more

Dr Kolleen is hands down the best chiropractor I've ever been too (and I've seen dozens). Wow- she has such a gifted touch. She loosens your body through tissue work then adjusts you. She spends significantly more time with you than the average chiropractor. And she has a gift with babies. She has helped my non nursing 8 week old improve his aligned and is now happily nursing. And as an added bonus she has a beautiful soul and is a delight to chat with. While I haven't had a full adjustment with Dr. Richard he is also a wonderful warm human being. He happily held my baby while Dr. Kolleen adjusted me. Wow. And when I arrived with a hungry crying baby Dr. Kolleen so kindly started giving him a bottle and once calm began adjusting him immediately. Focus Chiropractic is an absolute gem. First appointment may take some time to get but that is because they spend so much time with you. I promise they are worth the wait! read more

This review is way over due. And I'm writing now, because I had a terrible experience at another chiropractor and it made me appreciate Dr. Kolleen more! Dr. Kolleen and Dr. Richard have both seen me, but mostly Dr. Kolleen when I was pregnant a few years ago. Seeing her made me believe in the art and necessity in seeing a chiropractor. Pregnancy was great, hardly any aches or pains and delivery of my baby was a BREEZE!!! Dr. Kolleen has amazing bedside manner, is caring and compassionate. She is truly passionate for what she does and it shows. She let me know what she's doing and why it's beneficial. Each of my sessions with her was very informational and I actually felt a difference in how I felt overall. I miss Focus Chiropractic!! I miss Dr. Kolleen! read more

Outstanding!! I've been here on numerous occasions for pre-natal adjustments. I was so uncomfortable my last couple of weeks of my pregnancy with both kids. Colleen and Richard did wonders with their hands. I instantly felt looser around my joints after carrying so much added weight for so many months. read more

I found Dr. Richard and Dr. Kolleen via Yelp while I was pregnant with my first child. They are both courteous, professional, warm and caring. I believe the alignment work with Richard helped expedite my labor and contributed to my positive birth experience. My husband and I took our newborn son to see Dr. Kolleen and agree she is the baby whisperer. I wish every family could experience their exceptional care. read more

Dr. Kolleen is a wonderful chiropractor. Both of my children (10 and 12) and I see her. My kids even ask me to make appointments for them when they don't feel "right". She is nurturing, patient, and so incredibly intelligent. She has helped me work through so many physical issues. I always feel like I've been completely reset and ready to dive back into motherhood with both feet when I leave her office. read more

Dr. Kolleen and Dr. Richard are both absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Dr. Kolleen helped me through my entire pregnancy 9 years ago, making the first time experience for me so comfortable even through the challenging times with my body having autoimmune problems prior to my pregnancy. Dr. Richard worked on my husband, who also developed an autoimmune condition, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and made his pain and discomfort much more bearable to deal with. After I had my beautiful sweet boy, Dr. Richard continued my care making so that we knew we could never be comfortable in our bodies or skin without both of these wonderfully talented and beautiful people. They both know exactly where and how to get right at or into the particular problem areas with ease. In the past we've been to other Chiropractic doctors and there is just hands down absolutely NO ONE who can replace their unparalleled gentle care, knowledge and professionalism, ALL with such loving and kind care that you truly feel like family. Because of this, we have immeasurable trust in Dr. Kolleen and Dr. Richard, knowing that when we're in their hands (literally), we will always feel better. That's how my husband, son and I feel about them both... and just to top it off, they have a gorgeous and friendly family too!! So, if you're wondering whether or not to make an appointment, don't hesitate... they truly are the best and your body will thank you for it!! =OD read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Kolleen enough! Between my two kids with tongue/lip ties I saw three other chiropractors in the area. None of them came close to the care that Focus Chiropractic provided. They not only finally gave my son the release from his tightness and tension, but they also guided me and my husband so that we could maintain it at home. They're not trying to sell you to come back and it shows that they just care about getting you to feel better, long-term. I would have gladly kept taking my son but Dr. Kolleen correctly saw that he didn't need weekly sessions anymore. She's THE BEST! read more

Dr. Richard helped me so much during my pregnancy. He aligned my body for the delivery and adjusted any other areas of my body that was in pain. He was so accommodating and very helpful. My husband and baby started going as well! I would highly recommend Focus Chiropractic to anyone! read more

My son and I are both patients at Focus Chiropractic and we absolutely love them! The staff is super friendly and theres just this "homey" feeling being there. Dr. Kolleen is awesome, shes very gentle with my son and makes him feel very comfortable. She is always there to answer any questions i have whether on the phone or instagram. I definitely recommend them! read more

My first visit to Focus Chiropractic was for prenatal care as I heard it would help in better positioning for a vaginal delivery. I never knew such things existed. But I have to say, it was one of the best practices I incorporated for birthing preparation. I was so in tune and confident with my body during delivery and had a successful natural birth. I truly believe Dr. Kolleen's and Dr. Richard's knowledge and care had a huge part in it. I bring my now 3-mo old girl to my postpartum visits which should be a requirement for all mothers! Take care of yourself everyone! read more

Dr Kolleen and Dr Richard are super friendly and family orientated. They specialize in pregnant women, their children and families. Office is open air, kid friendly, and efficient. Short waiting time for patients. As a physician myself, I appreciate their professionalism and referrals when they have a case they feel is best suited to my care. read more

I love this chiropractic group they are amazing. They helped me through my last trimester of pregnancy. Which was hard. I had preeclampsia. I love when Apollo their dog is there he calms me. My husband is going today to see what all the fuss I make is about. Dr. Richard found where I hold all my tension and adjusted my jaw. Yes my jaw and rid me of my tmj. Amazing!!! They are great. I can't say it enough. read more

Incredible experience. Dr. Kachanon really knew how to adjust my issues at 39 weeks pregnant. I slept better and felt instant relief in my neck, back, and pelvis. He was really well versed in all things pregnancy and birth prep. read more

My wife started going to see Dr. Kolleen for pre-natal chiropractic care. She really loved it. She mentioned to me that Dr. Kolleen's husband, Dr. Richard, also worked there. I have seen two other chiropracters with mixed results in both bedside manner, patient care, philosophy of treatment, and such. I have to say I really REALLY like Dr. Richard. First, be prepared that if you ask him a question, he will explain to you in great detail his philosophy and the mechanics of why he wants to do what he will do. This guy knows his stuff. He is very patient answering questions Second, he is in my demographic of 40+ year old weekend warrior, he totally understand me. And he will tell me his recommended advice, and then his "realistic" advice meaning he knows that I will still want to play basketball despite having a few injuries and he will tell me "so if you really do want to play, just keep this in mind" Third, he really does not want to see me. Meaning, he wants to fix you up the right way. He doesn't want to rush things that don't need to be rushed AND he wants to fix you up so that you don't have to come back to see him. And so far it has worked that way - I see him quite sparingly these days. As far as Dr. Kolleen, I haven't been treated by her. She specializes I believe in caring for women and pre-natal care. But just from seeing her in the office, I can only describe her as a kind and gentle soul. Together the two make a really great team treating both the guys and gals. Finally, VERY VERY super kid friendly as you'd expect. They have treatment tables in the back in a closed room, but also two treatment tables outside in an open area so the kids can come and take a peek at what's going on. Plus a small little play area with a variety of toys. In other words, it's okay for the kids to roam around a bit. I always believe that five star reviews should be earned: five stars means you cannot think of anything else to improve, and that's these guys. Love 'em and highly recommend! read more

Dr. Kolleen is magic. My kids and I have been seeing her for years and we always feel great after a treatment. She has a wonderful combination of training/knowledge and intuition, plus such an upbeat personality that every visit is fun. I enjoy chatting with her and hearing her respectful conversations with my kids almost as much as the chiropractic adjustment. I recommend her to all my friends and have never heard anything but rave reviews. read more

I went for my first prenatal chiropractic appointment. They were so nice and friendly. They provided some stretches and tips to use. The appointment was wonderful and I felt great after the appointment. read more

Dr Kolleen and Dr Richard are by FAR the best chiropractors I have EVER been to. Dr Kolleen has a very gentle hands and is great with kids. Dr Richard is always able to adjust me has done wonders for my shoulder pain. The office is very family friendly. They also offer massage and have a partnership with a pilates studio. Even my little ones have had massages, and I stay in the room while they relax. I highly recommend Dr Ko and Richard. I have sent other friends and family and every time I keep hearing how great they are. I often time come in with random questions and Dr Richard always has an answer for me. There is always parking and they are even open during LUNCH! read more

This is my far and hands down the best Chiropractic Office ever. Clean office. New fancy equipment. Attentive and Comprehensive Care. Nice and Communicative Doctors. I will never go anywhere else as long as I live in LA. I am so happy that I found this gem! read more

I love Dr. Kolleen and Dr. Richard! I found Focus Chiropractic from my OB-GYN who referred me to come here when I was pregnant with my twins and having sciatic pain. I was really nervous about seeing a chiropractor especially while being pregnant so I was a bit cautious at first. I met Dr. Kolleen and she was extremely kind, patient, warm and just made you feel comfortable about everything! I stressed that I was nervous and she immediately made me feel at ease with the treatment. After my first initial visit, I wondered why I hadn't gone to see her sooner! I went every week for the rest of my pregnancy until I was on bed rest and couldn't go anymore but she helped me with my edema, hip/joint pains, so much more and I always felt so relaxed and better after each visit. Dr. Richard also had to help with a few of my adjustments and he is very nice and professional as well. After having my twins, my pediatrician pointed out that one of my girls might have torticollis (flat head syndrome). I immediately called Dr. Kolleen to discuss bringing her in to see her. I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Kolleen seeing my daughter even though she was only 5 weeks old at that time. Dr. Kolleen was so gentle with my daughter and she spent so much time with her to help with her constipation, gas and neck muscles. We've seen so much improvement in my daughter since our visits with Dr. Kolleen. In addition, Dr. Kolleen taught me the necessary stretches and massages to help my daughter as she grows. I highly recommend Focus Chiropractic for any chiropractic need. They are wonderful and so great! read more

I have been a Focus Chiropractic patient since Summer 2007. Dr. Kolleen and Dr. Richard are so thorough and caring.
