Been a couple of years since I last wrote a review for Dr. Leah Parsanko, although she has been my primary Chiropractor. Dr. Leah Parsanko has assisted me greatly after incurring injuries working as a Firefighter / EMT. I am so thankful for her assessment, diagnosis and abilities listen to address the root of the problem. Very grateful to be under her care, and cannot state enough she is such a blessing with her methods of getting a patient to relax while being adjusted. Her waiting room is both calming and relaxing and easy to make appointments with her staff. read more

Dr Parsanko is the best! I started seeing her for chronic lower back pain which has improved significantly. Not only has my back pain improved but my overall flexibility has improved after several visits. Highly recommended. read more

I am an MD and I have found /Dr. Parsanko terrific for my chiropractic needs. She has also treated other family members. Thomas Besley M.D. read more

Over the past 59 years, I have experienced pain/trauma from a motorcycle accident, a tree that crashed into my chest at a sawmill, I have lost teeth and dislocated my jaw in a bicycle accident; however, the pain I experienced with this latest back injury surpasses all those incidents combined. Unable to drive, cook dinner, sleep more than an hour or two, sit on the toilet, etc. I honestly do not know how people suffer so much pain for long periods of time - my 2 months was almost too much for me to handle. Thank God for Dr. Leah! From the very first visit, I knew that she is a natural healer. I had been to another chiropractor, a physical therapist and a GP - none provided any relief nor did they give more than 15 minutes attention to my condition. Dr. Leah taught me about the source of my pain, ordered X-Rays, an MRI and a consult with a pain management professional, all the while providing treatments in office that helped me tremendously. I am still in pain, but far less than I was. But I am confident she will help guide me to a sustainable relief and allow me to remain active in my silver years (not too much silver, mostly bald - but you get the picture). Thanks again Dr. Leah - you are truly a God send. read more

Dr. Leah is the best chiropractor and I will not trust anyone else with working on my back and neck! She is so thorough in her practice and I always leave feeling soooo much better than when I walked in. I love that she goes above and beyond in ensuring that I feel the best that I can leaving each session by using heat, decompression, muscle work, stretching, adjustments, etc. Each session is different, depending on how she assess me that day. She has put me on at home stretching programs and helped me with better sleeping positions (goodbye two fluffy pillows propping my head up at a weird angle all night - no wonder my neck was always sore!). Dr. Leah is kind and sincere and I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Dr Leah is the best of the best! She helped my son with his acute back pain, caused from jiu jitsu. Her skill is top notch and her professionalism is the highest level out there. We are so lucky to have Leah in our local community! read more

Dr. Leah is a great listener and makes you feel comfortable. I've been going to her for a year now for regular adjustments. Don't wait until you're in pain to go! I start off resting in a darkened room with electric pulses on my tight areas...usually shoulders. Then I move to the other room for a manual adjustments...the part where you hear the cracks and pops! Her office is small, but clean and cute. Parking is street only, but I can usually find something. read more

I've had back pain for a couple of years now and after one treatment with Dr. Leah, I felt like a different person! She is beyond thorough, kind and patient. As a healthcare professional, I really evaluate many things and Dr. Leah is simply, amazing. I plan to be a regular patient for a long time- thank you! read more

OK, so after a boogie boarding wipeout at Torrey Pines over Labor Day, my neck was killing me. I tried icing it for a bit, then heat, but after a couple of days, it was still real sore. Not having gone to a chiropractor in a while, and wanting to find someplace close to home, I turned to Yelp, as I'm wont to do. I found two that looked good so I called both and Dr. Parsanko had an opening that day. Her office is easy to find and parking is easy. Dr. Parsanko uses more of a manual muscle manipulation... it's not something I've experienced before at a chiropractor's office, but it worked out in my case. Her office staff is nice and I'd recommend her office to anyone who wants chiropractic care in the PQ area. read more

Dr Leah is a phenomenal chiropractor. I have been to many over the years since I have chronic back and neck pain. She is not one of the quack-chiropractors that use fake medicine. She manually manipulates your spine and muscles for immediate and long term relief. She is extremely professional and thorough from her exams to the her procedures. For any big guys that might think she wouldn't be able to manipulate you... think again! She is CRAZY strong! Best chiropractor I have been to. For the previous raters, if you are going to rate less than 5 stars you should explain why, and I couldn't find any reasons. Parking is free and close. Dr Leah is always conscious of your time and comfort. read more

Brought my 15 year old here for relief from an injury. Dr.Parsanko is warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely gifted in communicating with her patient. She provided my daughter with excellent intuitive relief from back pain. We are making regular visits to her for maintenance. Her office is very attractive. I highly recommend Dr.Parsanko. read more

Dr. Leah is a miracle worker! My husband and I enjoy her kind soul and pain relieving adjustments. She is extremely knowledgeable and always has the right solution. I suffer from extreme anxiety and always feel comfortable and safe in her hands. I would highly recommend incorporating Dr. Leah into your healthy lifestyle. read more

Being seeing Dr Leah at her office for a few visits and she has reduced my pain and treatment is very effective. She never rushes and explains procedures well and answers all questions completely. I recommend her for anyone in need of an excellent chiropractor. read more

Everything about my session with Dr. Leah was great!! I'm looking forward to the follow up next week. She's a runner, so she understands my situation. I am grateful to have found her! read more

I just started going to Dr. Leah and I already feel like we're best friends. Ok, maybe not best friends (yet), but she fixed me in 2 visits and checked up on me between those appointments. I love that she's accessible and shows genuine concern for my well-being. I feel like she also goes the extra mile to ensure that she's diagnosed every issue to ensure a very thorough treatment. read more

In the past, I have NOT been a huge fan of chiropractic care. Often I would leave previous chiropractors feeling worse then when I came in, or being setup for a lifetime of weekly visits. Dr. Leah Parsanko changed my attitude towards chiropractic care from the first time she treated me. Dr. Parsanko did an outstanding job at diagnosing the cause of my neck pain and was thoughtful to create a treatment plan to cure the pain in the shortest amount of time needed. The results were better than I thought possible, considering the pain I was in. Dr. Parsanko's treatment and post treatment recommendations allowed me to get back in the water and surf again. BIG THANK YOU!!! I highly recommend going to see Dr. Parsanko for any neck, back or muscle pain you have. read more

Over the past 30 years I've been the beneficiary of care from five different chiropractic professionals- all good to excellent. Without a doubt Dr. Leah Parsanko has provided the most thorough and effective treatments. She has modern, well equipped offices and stays current with developments and improvements in both her field, and others, such as nutrition and pandemic mitigation tactics, techniques and procedures. Over the past 20 months she has treated the skeletal and soft tissue injury after effects of an aggressive lifestyle. I just completed a treatment this morning and the results again are EXCEPTIONAL meaning greatly increased range of motion, elimination or minimization of pain from old injuries and improved balance. Dr. Leah gives me back the ability to enjoy a vigorous lifestyle. I have recommended her to my Family for care and can give no higher praise. Jim Burke read more

Dr. Leah is the most caring and qualified chiropractor I have ever been to. She is kind and compassionate and takes time to get to know her patients. Her space is calm and quiet and in addition to adjustments she includes other therapies like decompression and estim in her treatment. This combination has greatly improved my health! She's the BEST! read more

Dr. Leah does a phenomenal job! She is super friendly, personable, and great to chat with while she fixes a wide variety of problems. I've had back and neck pain for years and after seeing her I felt better than I have in a super long time. I highly recommend her to anyone with any sort of pain or stiffness! read more

Dr. Leah is AMAZING!!! Not only do I enjoy chatting with her while I am there she completely saved me when I threw my back out. I could barely walk when I went in and within a couple days after treatment and following her advice I was back working out and feeling great. She does not just get you in and out for a quick 15 minute adjustment but she is very patient and listens to your concerns, not a one size fits all treatment. Let alone the multitude of equipment she has in her office to treat and relax her patients, I feel amazing every time I walk out of her office. I highly recommend Dr. Leah and Surfside Chiropractic! read more

I am upset because Yelp keeps filtering my review and it is important. Dr. Leah is the best. I just learned I have two ruptured discs. In the past month because of her services, I have gone from serious pain and difficulty walking to being upright, relatively pain free and stronger due to her suggested exercises. For years I came to San Diego from DC to Dr. Leah. I have tried numerous DC chiropractors and none provided the relief and skills that Dr. Leah has. I hope Yelp shows this review. read more

Let me start by saying that Leah has helped me overcome chronic back and neck pain stemming from a car accident and repetitive stress injury. I'm so grateful! She is so knowledgeable and caring AND she's super nice! I now have mostly pain free days and exercises and stretches for the days when I have a flare up. Also, I can turn my neck all the way from left to right without any pain, which is a 100% improvement. Thanks Dr. Leah! read more

i am so happy i finally found a chiropractor who actually helps me instead of just causing more pain! Dr.Leah is great she was super friendly and took her time! she did allot of soft tissue work along with the adjustments that she made to my neck and back. i am so used to being in and out of a chiropractors office in like 10 minutes i was absolutely ecstatic that she took her time! all in all the visit took about 40 minutes and worth every minute seeing that i can now touch my head to my shoulder! an impossible task before my visit :) read more

I've been to numerous chiropractors over the last 40 years and Dr. Leah is one of the best. Whenever I need an adjustment, she is my go-to person. read more

I love Dr Leah. I have been going to Dr. Leah for about 8 years now. All of my friends and family go to her now. She is by far my favorite chiropractor. From her personality to how strong she is, I honestly don't know what I would do without Dr. Leah. She has completely healed me. She is engaging, loving, kind and a professional. She cares about all of her customers and goes the extra mile to make sure I get better. She has helped me through sports injuries or just maintaining or healing. I love this location because it is in the heart of all of the action and great energy. Thank you for being awesome and taking the time to making sure I feel better daily. Everyone must go see Dr. Leah. read more

Love the new location in Leucadia--peaceful with lots of natural light and updated decor. Dr. Leah's adjustments include decompression, heat, estim, manual manipulation and manual palpation--and they work!! My body prefers this type of individualized attention (and I get much better results than with the stimulator tool). My back pain is relieved instantly and my adjustments hold for several weeks. After my neck adjustments I can think clearly again and that lasts for several weeks as well! I highly recommend Dr. Leah because she is gentle AND effective. read more

Addicted! I have always been skeptical of chiropractic. Each and every experience previous to meeting Leah started and ended with migrains that never stop! I see Leah for only adjustments, nothing special and am truly addicted to her magic! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Leah for a few months now and have experienced marked improvement in my lower back. She is patient, thorough, never rushed, and makes me feel like she's there to help me. She has lots of great advice for self-care between visits, which has helped immensely. read more

I have been going to Dr. Leah for several years and she has helped me tremendously with my lower back and neck pain. She takes her time with you and listens to your concerns and needs. She helped me during my pregnancy when I felt like every step was painful and after a small car accident. I am very thankful for the treatment I received here and continue to go on a as needed basis for maintenance. read more

I've been going to Dr Leah's office since she took it over from Greg Larson. I was going to Greg's for a good many years, and he was wonderful. Dr Leah carries on the same tradition. She 'wants' to know how you're doing. She 'wants' to know how you've been. Etc. Just as you'd expect from an established practitioner. She'll continue to be my one and only chiro as long as necessary. She's a 'hands on' practitioner, and can be as rough/gentle as requested (allowed). She WILL listen to you, and give you the advice you as for. Kudos Doc. read more

Being a dental hygienist, I've seen a few chiropractors in San Diego, but I never found the right one for me. I saw Dr. Leah for the first time today, and had a great experience. She recently took over Dr. Greg Larson's patients since he was recalled to active duty in the Navy. She is practicing in his office, which happens to be within walking distance from me! I chose Dr. Parsanko based on location and was pleased to find that she is friendly, intelligent, gentle, and knows what she's doing. She provides excellent service and I will definitely be going back. I'm a bit sensitive to how healthcare professionals treat me as a patient, and Dr. Leah seems to be on the same page - placing comfort and service above all else. Another bonus: Her father is a dentist in San Diego so she is well-aware of the chronic injuries dental professionals are afflicted with. I highly recommend her, as she was so good, she inspired me to sign up for Yelp and write my first review! read more

Dr. Leah is awesome. She has helped me and my husband through many aches and pains on various body parts. I really appreciate how efficient she runs her office. I never have to wait for my appointments, there is never a ton of paperwork (I have spent hours completing paperwork for some offices), and she is highly skilled. She is the only chiropractor that I have seen that I would trust to adjust my kids. Dr. Leah really listens to you and is super knowledgable as to why you hurt and how to fix it. read more

I saw Dr Greg Larsen for many years. When Dr Leah took over the practice I was planning on trying to find another chiropractor. I'm pretty big, 6' 4" and weigh about 240 pounds. I didn't think such a small person would be able to adjust my lower back. Thanks to my procrastination I decided to go ahead and see her for our first appointment. I'm very glad that I did. Dr Leah does a great job. She is the best chiropractor I've ever seen. She is very professional knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable. read more
