I will announce to the desert to the sea and to all of Southern California. The doctor and his staff offer great care . T.R. read more

Guru Chiropractic - Chiropractors Near Me - Culver City, California

After an accident, I tried weeks of physical therapy with no pain relief. I found Guru Chiropractic and I can't say enough about how amazing all the staff are here. All the massage therapists are wonderful at relaxing the muscles prior to the adjustment. Dr. Rubens is very thorough in his intake and treatment. He has an amazing bedside manner and can really find where the pain is hiding to release it. Highly recommend for any back pain you may be experiencing. read more

I just had the best first visit I can ever hope for. The doctor was informative and awesome! Staff was very generous! Price was right and Doctor explain how I'm very tense and tight from bad habits. I would for sure recommend anyone to come here. The only bad thing was that for Culver City he only here on Monday and Wednesday but honestly I really want to thank his staff for everything. read more

I got this as a Loot deal on LifeBooker ($29 for $325) for a 1-hour massage, Chiropractic Exam, and Consultation. The "exam and consultation" were really unimpressive. The guy (chiropractors aren't doctors, guys.) didn't even introduce himself to me and it seemed like he just wanted to go home (I was the last patient on a Friday afternoon. That probably wasn't the best idea). The analysis and advice he gave me just didn't seem all that insightful to me. He also cracked my neck and back, which I heard are supposed to be life changing. It wasn't. I felt no difference whatsoever the next day or the day after, etc. Leti gave me a massage for afterwards. That also wasn't that amazing. It was just a mediocre massage, in my opinion. She's a very sweet girl, and I enjoyed the conversation that we had, but the massage definitely did not cure what ails me. Seeing as how this was my first time at a chiropractor ever, I don't think I'm ever going to a chiropractor again. My friend recommended that I go to one for my knee, hip, and foot pain, but this did absolutely nothing for me but waste my time. The sum of my experience was just as satisfying as getting to know someone over coffee, but a massage was not necessary to accomplish that. read more

Excellent service as advertised. Responsive and kind team. Reasonable pricing. Will be going back and recommending to others.

I've been going here for the last year since moving to the area and I've gotten excellent care. Dr. Gulick is superb and also offers great advice for exercises to strengthen the body at home. I always feel better leaving than I did coming in. Price is also very fair read more

I love getting chiropractic from either doctor R or doctor G. They both have their own special way of treating my aches and pains... And they both get very immediate results. I have gone in with headache, neck ache or lower backache and on each occasion have come away feeling better! They take the time to massage the muscle with a healing kind of sport therapy cream to get it ready for the adjustment and then go in deep! I have heard some major movement (from my neck and mid back especially) when getting my adjustments. I have been making an effort to go if I start to get a stiff neck etc, rather than when I'm full- blow "in it" and in pain! And it's made a difference. I really appreciate a local, affordable place, where the practitioners are so knowledgeable! I can't speak to the massage, it's been years since I got one and that massuse has since moved. read more

Dr Gubic or Dr Guru is amazing at asking the right questions to get to the rot cause of the symptoms of pain or mobility issues in the tissues. Gentle but deep massage of the neck area and a slight movement and bingo i'm back in place and functional again for a week. I have a laborious job and my body is worked had and need good care. I'm picky because I am a massage therapist so i know what good care is. this is the place to go and the man to see is Dr. Gubic. Tell him Jason Chase sent you. For only like $40 or $45 each session. Stop living in pain and get back into enjoying life. read more

Way back when this place was on Groupon, I made the mistake of purchasing one of them for myself. I wanted a massage, what I got what a possible life-long injury. To sum up my experience as briefly as possible: I was getting a massage from one of the gross "masseuses". This disgusting sorry excuse for a human being was using one hand to massage me and the other to text, all the while making a really disgusting snorting sound like she was snorting up boogers. Her one-handed massage was rushed and effing terrible. Why I didn't stand up and @#$%^ slap her sorry gross @$$ I have no idea. Why did I put up with that??? She ended the session by stretching out my legs in different positions in a rushed manner, and it was at this time that she must have pinched a nerve or torn something, I don't know, but to this day my leg hurts. And if I sit indian style (which I am doing now, which compelled me to re-write this review) my leg hurts like all hell. The back side behind the knee and off to the right hurts, and has been in pain for about a year. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I wrote my review originally and how do they respond? Not by apologizing, offering to put me up someplace else to get my leg fixed, but they flag and remove my review. It makes me so mad to think that this place is more concerned over its reviews than the well-being of their patients. #$%& this place. Don't go here. And if you have any advice on how I can possibly sue these pieces of crap for malpractice please message me. This is NOT right and they should fix it. And not THEM, I will never go back to these sub human ghetto pieces of crap. read more

I really want to give them 6 stars! I've been living in LA for 3 years now and I don't think any business I came to deal with deserves 5 stars for customer service except GuRu Chiropractic. I came in maybe 10min late and I see Dr Rubens behind the reception desk, all nice and smiley, such a nice guy overall. Asked me where parked worrying I may get a ticket. Gave me some good pointers about my neck problems. Definatelly the guy knows what he's talking about. And then I had the best back massage ever! I like it strong and this massage wasn't really strong but I was still impressed. I had many many massages done all over the world and this lady (sorry, forgot the name) still managed to suprise me with strokes I've never experienced before! I wish they lowered the prices for the massages :( I'd be there every month! read more

I had posted a very quick review of yesterdays visit, not finishing it entirely because I got busy, but planning on picking up where I left off...I'll leave it as is now without completely finishing my scathing review of the massage therapist because, within hours, I received the following from Dr. Ruben: "Hi Carmen, It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday. I truly appreciate your review and I really apologize for the massage. I feel horrible and that is totally unacceptable. We definitely do not condone this kind of work ethic from our therapist. Please allow me to make it up to you (I omitted this portion). This mishap and unprofessional-ism should have never occurred. Please let me know when you want to come in and I will make it happen. My contact info is xxxxxxxxxx@aol.com or you may reach me on the office # (888)948-7899, extension 2. Thank you for your time and again my sincere apologies Dr. Rubens" I have to say I'm genuinely impressed with the promptness and sincerity of Dr. Rubens response to my review. I will definitely be referring to his office in the future. I appreciate his professionalism and desire to right what one of his staff unfortunately slipped up on. My original post: Dr. Rubens alone is worth 5 stars. Unfortunately, his massage therapist, at best, is worth 2. Dr. Rubens was exceptionally personable, explaining the how and why of procedures, and more than willing to answer any questions. His manipulations were incredibly gentle, but omg effective! In talking to him I could tell he's all about helping people heal, and not at all about trying to accumulate uncountable wealth. He's definitely someone I'll be seeing a few times a year. His massage therapist was incredibly unprofessional. Not only did she talk during most of her session, but she spoke of other clients and their sexual conquests, as well as mentioning tip amounts. read more

LIFESAVER!! Beyond Juicy Best Chiropractor in town!! Look no further! I've always had bad back and shoulder pains ever since I was young. And now my pain has continued to my neck to the point where I felt dizzy and had a really hard time functioning throughout the day. There were times I would need to take advil to ease the pain temporarily. I thought I was beginning to have the early symptoms of vertigo. I worked out and did yoga only to make matters worse and I felt light headed during the exercises. That was the start and the end of my misery after I found Dr. Gulick who pretty much saved my life and my mom's. I came here for a coupon on kgb deals for a back massage that is similar to like a physical therapy massage. The massages are good if you really have pain, they work out each and every vertebrae to really get in the problem. Before I got my massage, Dr. Gulick also gave me a free consultation on what brings me in. He is a chriopractor so he made some adjustments on my back that really needed adjusting for a long time. I had my massage afterwards and it was a great massage. However, since my problem has gotten worse, any kind of massages I get is very temporary. Even though this place was great with massages, my case was a little more severe and needed Dr. Gulick to really start helping with my neck and back to release the stiffness and tension. I decided to give him a try and came back for a real chiropractic session. I would say this is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I've been to so many chiropractors, acupuncture, and massage places and I have never found anyone like Dr. Gulick. He is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced chiropractors that really makes a lot of changes in people's lives everyday. He is so professional and gentle and sincere at the same time. He has definitely improved my posture and I don't feel dizzy anymore after a few sessions with him. I felt 100% better in the first session that I decided to bring my mom who also has a lot of back pains. He has worked miracles on my mom as well who has a fracture on her back. It takes time in my case and my mom's case, but every other day I went to see him, I felt better everytime and he pretty much saved my life and my mom's. You won't regret coming in here, I say try the consultation and I know if you are having problems he will also save you. He mixes chiropractic, physical therapy, and yoga excellently together. This is exactly what I needed and he made all 3 forces work beautifully to make miracles happen. He definitely is a guru in my books. You won't be disappointed. My mom loves him and she's done it all and he's the only one who's been able to really find out what her problems are and are making changes in her life. So if you need the help I needed or just to prevent yourself from getting as far I did. Definitely try coming to this office. I can vouch that they too will save your life. They take insurance and charge very reasonable cash prices that are a lot lower than almost all places. The guru name was partially created with both Dr. Gulick and Dr. Rubens first 2 letters of their name, their business partners. Based on the other reviews Dr. Rubens has also helped another patient. Which just shows that whichever doctor you get, you will be in good hands. I'm just glad I found honest doctors who know what they're doing and do it well. read more

I really needed a massage after falling off my back. I already have a herniated disc and other pain in my back. I went on Groupon and found guru chiropractic and thought I give this place a try since the reviews were good. The receptionist was really nice and was able to get me an appointment. I came in and got a really goooood massage from Judy. She asked me where I want her to focus on. I told her about my problem and got to it. *I've had some massges before.. but this was my first time getting a massage with no gown on. It didn't really matter but it just letting you people know in advance. I wanted her to focus more on my back but she did my whole body. It felt good tho. After the massage I went outside. The man in the front desk said I was good to go. I asked if I have the cosultation/exam (which is included with the groupon) but he said I was done with everything... -_-.. I wanted the posture evaluation and exam so I can grt some help on how to fix my back problem which has been going on for years.. I'm guessing they only do massages if you have a Groupon... will I come back? I'm not sure.. maybe.. read more

The Chiropractic portion of my visit was good. The doctor was nice, informative and made my neck feel better. The massage portion was not good. It was very weak, ineffective and felt like a bored girlfriend forced into massaging you while her favorite show was on... Dr. Rubens takes pride in his work and offered to rectify the massage portion of my visit. My massage experience is just my own opinion, I have seen many fine reviews of massages from here and I hope you have one of those if you go. The massage experience could have been a fluke of some sort, maybe a off day for the therapist, but what is for sure, is that Dr. Rubens made my neck feel better and that he wants you to have a good therapeutic experience. read more

Now I know why getting a massage and chiropractor is an investment! I had my first professional massage and second chiropractic treatment in my life today and it was FANTASTIC! Booking my appointment over the phone was a breeze. The receptionist, massage therapist, and chiropractor were all very professional, warm, and great. I could tell my massage therapist (Ms. Judy) and chiropractor (Dr. Gulick) were both really passionate and knowledgeable about their field. Judy did a fantastic deep tissue all over body massage (55 minute long) with lotion. Before we started, She asked me what my concerns were and where I would like to focus. I've been super stressed out lately and had all these knots up on my back and neck area! She was very attentive and gave a very strong massage which I desperately needed! Since this was my first massage, I was a bit apprehensive but that quickly disappeared as Judy made me very comfortable in my skin. After my amazing massage, I only waited a few minutes to see the Dr. Gulick for a consultation and chiropractic session. Dr. Gulick immediately pinpointed the problem areas in my body and showed me using models how it could effect me in the long run. He seemed very knowledgeable and passionate in his work. I could feel the immediate relief from my body from the adjustments. I wasn't nervous at all because he was talking about all sorts of interesting things! He also gave me some great tips on how to improve my posture. FYI He also teaches Yoga on the side! His talking speed is a bit fast so it may seem like he's rushing but it's just because he's very passionate about the subject, and wants to get as much info/value to you as possible. You can always ask him to clarify any point. Other pluses: + Great receptionist / service + REFRESHING ice cold mint/lemon water! (I was very excited about this!) + Light relaxing music playing in the background + Massages are done in private rooms You can park on the street ($1 per hour / max 2 hours) or in the back. I used a Groupon but I would definitely come back without one! The prices are very reasonable for returning guests: $39 per hour massage or chiropractic session or $79 for both. read more

Guru Chiropractics is amazing! There's so many choices for chiropractors on the Westside, but really there's only ONE option for me: Guru Chiropractics. Miss Mar greets you with warmth and compassion. Then, you're off to Judy who gives you the best massages EVER! As if that's not enough, you meet with Dr. Gulick who's a brainiac who educates you about your pain. Then, he's got these amazing machines and Chiro techniques that make you feel like you're in heaven! They are really careful, unlike other Chiro's I've seen, to not reinjure you or over stretch you. Dr. Gulick knows the Science and constantly seeks to improve his patients pain levels. Highly recommended! read more

Well I got to say Guru Chiropractic was my first alignment experience ever ! My girlfriend got me a group on for a customized message and alignment and I ended up getting what seemed to be a $10 dollar Chinese message , like the ones you find at a swamp meet ! Little did I know that when it got to the alignment part it felt just like when I crack my own back , unfortunately it wasn't what I thought it would be and from this experience I no longer want to go back to a chiropractor again ! Waste of money If it's anything like this place ! Btw your waters nasty ! Keep it tap ! read more

I came here on a Groupon. This was my first time getting a massage & exam. The chiropractor was so nice & taught me a lot about his specialty & my body. He even gave me a daily exercise I could do to help my posture and strength. Everyone in the building was really nice. They have relaxing music playing through the entire building. It was very easy to find & there was free 2 hour parking right outside. My masseuse was Summer. She was cool. & asked me how I liked my massage pressure & basically got all my knots out. One thing I will say though is, if you're a self conscious person about your body or someone who is really weird about personal space, be prepared to deal with that once you get here. I didn't feel weird at all but I can imagine someone might who cares about things like that. I had an overall good experience. read more

Saw an amazing deal on Groupon, decided to try it out. Website recommends 24 hours for an appointment, but I called at noon and was able to get a session at 3, really nice. People were very friendly and helpful. They played calming ambient sounds, and the oils they used were soothing and smelled nice. Dr. Laurent Rubens was my chiropractor, felt very comfortable having him work on my neck and spine. Gave me some good advice and stretches to help with my shoulders from working in front of a computer all the time. Judy was the one who gave me a massage. She was very accommodating, being sure to ask if she was pressing too hard or what areas I would like focused on. Overall I had a great experience. Definitely recommend it if you have the need. read more

I had an extremely pleasant experience with guru chiropractic. After checking in with the front desk, I got into a private massage room right away and got introduced to my massage therapist Mariel. She's so sweet and professional, I adore her. The 55 minute massage was really good--she worked on my body very well with the right amount of pressure, and worked through my pains and knots. She knows the human body really well and has a therapeutic touch. I just can't say enough good things about her! After the massage I got to see Dr. G and he's super nice. He adjusted my neck at 2 places, lower back at 2 places, and upper back, and I felt so relaxed afterwards. He talked in a gentle and caring manner, and recommended 2 yoga stretches for me to help with my muslce tension. He also pointed out the imbalance in my left and right neck muscles (I'm a photographer carrying heavy stuff all the time)--and I knew that he's right because the base of my left side of the neck is always sore. I didn't tell him a single thing but he found this out by observing my resistance to his pushes. Pretty impressed! All in all it's a great experience. Would come back and highly recommend. read more

$29 deal on Lifebooker for Chiro exam and hr massage (Reg $325). The fairy tale: "Your session begins with a brief discussion about your health history and habits. Then you'll get a spine function exam and comprehensive analysis of your alignment. Using posture evaluation, the doctor will examine your stance to locate the source of your discomfort. Based on your exam, a therapist then customizes the hour-long massage to meet your needs. Their techniques include deep tissue (deep strokes to relieve knots), Swedish (smooth, gliding strokes), and Myofascial or trigger-point therapy (a manipulation of connective tissue or muscle to reduce pain). Real life: Check in and fill-out a 1 page/1 side form then go directly to the massage. After the massage, you have the option of staying to see the Dr for the chiro exam. I elected not to stay, so can't comment on the exam. The massage: I think my masseuse was fell asleep while working on my feet and neck! LOL! WTH!! Really?!?! Also, I'd rather not have my arms rest on my masseuse's belly! Maybe that's just me.... Maybe it's a great deal if you get the chiro exam; however, the regular price for the massage is only $40. read more

Dr Rubens sent me an email right after I wrote previous review, and I can feel that he is very sorry about my bad experience and he even offered me a free massage. However, I chose not to take his offer for many consideration, mostly moral ones. After all, I don't want to (feel) "owe" anyone for taking a free stuff, no matter it is free service of free food, especially I can afford it. Anyway about six months later, I happened to need a massage to help me relax. I came back again, mostly because I want to see whether I should blame the bad experience to groupon deal. So this time I choose to pay in full. I called at 2PM and try to schedule a 5PM, they scheduled my appointment and at the end of call the lady asked my groupon number... what? Do they still run groupon deal? I told her hat I have no groupon and she told me the 1 hour massage is $39. I don't want to be biased in writing review so I choose not to disclose the fact I can get a free one. Bottom line, I think if I enjoy a better service because I wrote reviews, it's a shame. I just booked and walked in as a nobody, and I'm expecting to see what is coming. $39 for one hour massage is very very reasonable price. I was expecting around $50. So I just book two hours because I really need a massage on my back. It turns out that I enjoy about 100 minutes massage for $78 dollars, which is quite a bargain. The quality of massage is overall much better than I could remember about last time. I can feel that my specialist did her best to help me. After the treatment I'm overall satisfied. Let's face it... $39 an hour is not a steal, but it's a good deal. I won't say their skill is the best I had, but definitely a decent one. I did enjoy some better one for 50% more expensive, but give $39, I will say it worth every penny. They are on-time and everything seems to be good. Should there's one thing I would say to whoever read this review... is to better communicate in a way that $39 is for 50 minutes massage, not 1 hour. It's understandable that 5 minutes for preparation and 5 minutes for dress up. Well, I know I'm a bit nit-picking now. If price is a concern to you, I would recommend this place mostly because you get what you need in a reasonable cost. From my own perspective, I would say simply stop that stupid groupon ads and focus on customer retention. Having some customer loyalty deal or simply let customers spread the words over facebook/yelp/twitter. Let's face it. When I know some other people pay 50% because of groupon, and as a customer I pay full. It just make people who pay in full think themself stupid. read more

Wow! Even though I went in with a Groupon, I received stellar treatment... From the ease of making an appointment to getting called in quickly and getting nearly a full 50-minute massage followed by a rather detailed consultation with Dr. Gulick, I truly was wowed. Tonya gave me the absolutely strongest deep tissue massage I have ever gotten--to the point of enough pain I almost told her to lighten up (but, no pain, no gain, right?). And, she even asked me at the end if I felt better. After she finished, I went back out to the waiting room, expecting that they forgot my Groupon also included an exam and consultation. But, nope, the receptionist told me to wait another minute to be seen by the good doctor. In just a minute, I was called back in and Dr. Gulick asked my main problem(s) and offered suggestions to help overcome it (with a very yogi, doctor of osteopathy approach). He mentioned he could help me, too, if I continued to come back, but in no way pressured me to do so. Bottom line: If you want a true deep tissue massage and a caring, holistic (somewhat hippie) chiropractor, this is the place for you! read more

I really wanted to keep this a secret, but sharing is caring and I think Dennis would appreciate this. Dennis is Guru Chiropractic's secret weapon/hidden gem, WHATEVER you want to call it, because after having Dennis work on me, I will go nowhere else. No more Swedish massages at a high-end day spa where they just rub lotion on me for an hour, no more ignorant masseuses who can't recognize problem areas, and no more paying ridiculous amounts of money to get a quality massage!!! Any massage will usually make you feel better (speaking from experience), but Dennis not only will make you feel better, but he will try everything in his power to FIX YOU and your problem areas so you don't have to rely on massage therapy for the rest of your life. He'll say things like, "When your hamstrings are tight, then that's causing your lower back to ache." Don't quote me! My point is that he knows human anatomy, and I trust him when he says that my jaws are tight/tense and I'm holding on to a lot of physical and emotional stress. I usually only have my forearms, neck, and shoulders worked on, but he found out that I had a tingly sensation in my fingers, he asked which fingers, and he knew the root of the problem (something about a nerve that's under your armpit? Sorry, I'm no human anatomy expert). He gives a mind-blowing deep tissue massage. If you can't hang, don't waste his time. read more

I've never had a professional massage. I went to Guru with a Groupon for a 55-min massage and chiropractic evaluation. My massage was pretty great and at LEAST 55 min, I think it might have been a bit longer than that. My chiropractic evaluation with Dr. Ruben's was pretty low stress too. I was anxious about them trying to sell me things and schedule me another time. Instead, I was asked in the beginning if I even wanted an evaluation. He proceeded to give me advice on stretches for running and how to have better posture. He was positive without making me feel like an idiot. And they didn't try to sell me stuff as I walked out the door. - Lety (pronounced Let-ee) was a great masseuse. She was professional, but friendly. She really respected my comfort level. -Only negative, playing somewhat romantic music while getting a massage. There are plenty of soothing songs someone can play without it creating a romantic atmosphere. read more

My review is actually 2 stars for the facility and 6 stars for the massage I received by Tanya.. I bought a groupon about 3 months ago for a massage and exam. I've had negative experiences lately with Groupons so I wasn't expecting much. I called 3 times (over a month) and get an answering service without my call returned but I decided I would call again last week before I filed a complaint to get a refund. To my surprise, someone answered and to my delight they had a late (7pm) appointment available the next week. I declined the exam, so cannot review the doctors but the massage that I received was amazing. Tayna definitely knows what she is doing! She got right down to business, wasn't chit chatty, and gave me the best massage that I've had in quite some time! I wanted to book with her again, went on the web site for rates but nothing is listed. I called to schedule but got the answering service again. Great massage but a little hard to get ahold of to schedule... read more

This Chiropractic office is very professional and the service is excellent. I am very happy to chose this place. read more

Used a Lifebooker voucher on a rainy weekend night. They were nice to call me the day before (although it was a bit hard booking a weekend apt), and I was taken pretty much on time, even though they were totally booked. The receptionist was very nice, and Dr. Rubens was great! He was real easy to talk with, and seemed to sincerely want to help people feel better. He was able to tell so much about my condition, lifestyle and fitness level just by having me stand up! This was my first time at a Chiropractor, and I felt very safe and comfortable. The massage was GREAT! Very deep tissue, my deepest yet! And the masseuse (I think her name started with a Y; a blond lady) was amazing! Very sweet and knew her stuff! This is a great place and I highly recommend it! read more

I went here after I bought a Groupon-deal; massage and exam for $29. My experience is a lot better than described below! Setting up an appointment was a lot easier than expected; usually places are full the first weeks after a deal. I called in one or two days after I bought it and was able to get an appointment the next business day. The lady told me the doctor would be out of the office for a few days so I could only do the massage, therefore I chose another day. I arrived about 5 minutes early and after filling in the forms I was immediately up for my massage. I don't know the name of my masseuse but I appreciate the fact that she did not chit chat so I could fully enjoy the massage. It felt great but not painful; just how I like my massages. After I got dressed I was up for my exam. The doctor was very helpful in explaining everything and gave a lot of information. I had never been to a chiropractor before so I can't compare. He went over my general health and then checked my posture and whether everything was straight. He then gave me a free adjustment and some tips for exercises! I had a lunch appointment afterwards for which I was about 5 minutes late - which indicates that the whole procedure took exactly as long as I expected. read more

i bought a deal from kgbdeals.com and got a massage and chiro exam. i've been getting massage for many years so i'm familiar. however, this was my first chiro exam. i wasn't sure what to expect. Dr. Rubens did the chiro exam and also an adjustment. he only confirmed what i knew about my posture, but he also did my first adjustment... aaaaah.... it was great! that was followed by an awesome massage by Letty. i always have a lot of tension in my neck. she was able to work out those kinks along with lower back stress. i will definitely be going back again. even though i got an online deal, i believe their regular prices are really reasonable and comparable to other massage places that don't have a chiropractor. highly recommend!! read more

I'm from a small town in Texas, and Guru Chiropractic is one of those LA gems that manages to make me feel like I'm at home again. When I come in, I don't feel as though I'm just another client, I know that my personal well-being is first priority. The best part about Guru Chiropractic is that Dr. Reubens likes to prelude adjustments with massages. I mean, really, what more can a girl wish for? Tanya is my favorite masseuse because her pressure and intensity is just right. Her massages are deep, but not so deep that I have to hold my breath and bite my finger to get through it. As for Dr. Reubens, he has a distinct passion for his profession that is obvious from the moment you have your first session. He alters his adjustments/massages according to your week/workout/symptoms/ect. The phone system is not the most reliable, however. Before making my first appointment, I had to call quite a few times before getting an answer. It's hit and miss with accuracy, but don't let that discourage you. Once you get in, you can reschedule after each appointment and skip the phones altogether. read more

My Sister is a Chiropractor in Texas so when I say Dr. Rubans is amazing I know what I'm talking about. I have been to many Chiropractors all over La and most don't know what they are doing. Having everything adjusted is just bad. the only stuff that should be moved is the stuff out of place. you would think this is common sense, but its not in la. I have been going here for over a year now and I would never go to another place. I also get massages here too and they are all ways great. But above that it is very affordable for a struggling actor like my self. For how good he is, he should be charging a lot more, but being the amazing human he is, he is more worried about helping people feel better then making loads of money. If it was out of ten stars I would give him a 10. read more

I bought a Living Social voucher for a chiro evaluation and a massage that I got a couple of months ago; apparently they have now lowered their price to the coupon rate, $39 for a $50 massage. Their website says differently, but I just called to make another appointment. The evaluation was helpful, the doctor (whose name I'm forgetting) gave me a couple of suggestions for daily exercises to loosen my upper back muscles, but didn't give me any kind of hard sell whatsoever, which I appreciated. Dennis, the masseur, gets 5 stars. He has an incredible skill/talent for finding the sorest spots and working through them in a very theraputic way -- it's not really so relaxing, but the theraputic approach was exactly what I wanted. He's really personable, and so knowlegeable about how the muscles work together, and he will totally lighten the pressure upon request--he's communicative without being too talkative. Best massage I've had in a very long time! read more

I went in for a massage and exam today (got a groupon!) and had a pretty good experience. My massage from Judy was great - I was so relaxed I think I fell asleep during the foot massage! Whoops :) Had to wait a bit for to see the chiropractor, but he was very thorough and gave me tips and exercises on how to fix my bad posture. Got my neck and back cracked and immediately felt an improvement. Overall a nice place, although I have to say the office didn't blow me away. They actually had to cancel my first appointment because of lack of staff that day. Small, but comfortable - don't expect a luxury spa and you'll be fine. read more

I came here for the $29 groupon. I got such an amazing massage from Judy!!! (I believe that's her name...) I told her my occupation and she already guessed where I carry my stress and gave my neck extra attention. I felt so great after my massage and didn't need the exam even though they offered it. I only docked one star because I could hear the receptionist outside my room at times. I'm definitely going back! read more

Hello World, I'm Jay. I create music. I moved to LA upon getting my big new fancy job and in the process was in a pretty serious car accident. I have both health insurance and PIP insurance but because California has never heard of nationwide PIP insurance, I found myself unable to get treatment unless I was paying for it cash. I called Dr. Rubens and Guru Chiropractic at 530pm after a day of painfully unsuccessful searching and they most graciously accepted my last minute appointment. Dr. Rubens and his staff are amazing. His front desk staff are inviting, and cordial. They are great about calling you to remind me of my appointments. His massage staff are equally great. Judie and Tonya are just amazing. Very different massage styles but both are equally great. I can't recommend them enough! It's been such a great experience. Anytime I need a massage or chiro work, this is the only place I'll go.

I was very impressed. I bought the groupon and thought they did an excellent job. Dr. Rubens was kind, and knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time with me. Because he has a massage therapy background in addition to being a doctor, he helped loosen me up. He also showed me stretches to help my body. read more

Ms. Judy, the massage therapist, is knowledgable and caring - my massage was customized and she paid extra attention to the areas on my back and neck that needed the extra attention. Before attending the session, my neck was so stiff that I could barely move my head around. After the massage, I felt almost 100% better. Judy is amazing! Booking the appointment was easy and the receptionist was friendly. Punctual, professional, knowledgable and friendly - now that's what I'm talking about. read more

Went to Guro for an adjustment and a massage and it was amazing. Even though the girl at the front desk did not do a good job, in making the guest feel welcomed she had a bad attitude and did not leave me a proper message. On a good note Judy was so friendly and sweet she asked me all the right questions. Where I was feeling pain and, how much pressure I wanted on those areas. Highly recommend to go in and speak to the right people, save you some time from calling and getting the wrong info. Thanks for making me feel relaxed! read more

I don't go to chiropractors often, but when I do, I go to Guru Chiropractic. They first ask me what part of my body needs the most attention, and then the start a full body deep tissue massage. They ask you to tell them if you want it strong, medium or soft. They asked me again mid-massage if it was too hard. They hit my spots! Then they served up some ultrasound to my sore knee. Dr Rubens then entered for the exhilarating body cracking. My neck gained so much flexibility and movement afterwards. Thank you Dr. Rubens read more
