This office is a real team that cares and doesn't rush you through or ask you to review them. I've been to other chiropractors who asked me repeatedly to write a review for them. This place is a secret gem hidden in Santa Monica. This place is a one stop shop. Stop in for massage, chiropractic or personal training. Dr. Yermian is a top notch doctor !! I would highly recommend Dr Yermian and his staff to anyone in the Santa Monica area.

I am sure that Shirley is a fine chiropractor, but her nutrition and holistic health advice is not…read moretrustworthy. I came to Shirley suffering from chronic pain and fatigue and her advice was not only unhelpful but hurtful. She recommended I get a "cavitation" surgery and have my composite fillings replaced by her dentist friend, Dr. Sperbeck. Thousands of dollars wasted. The surgery did nothing and Sperbeck's fillings actually damaged my teeth further, which I now have to get replaced, again. Turns out that jaw "cavitations" are a fantasy. They are NOT recognized as legitimate pathological issues by the larger medical and dental community. Shirley had me taking a boatload of supplements during my time with her, which, again, did nothing to change my health for the better. Thousands of dollars on supplements, wasted. After nearly two years of seeing Shirley, I realized I was being an idiot by continuing to seek her advice. The real 'a-ha' moment came after I switched to a whole-foods, plant based, vegan diet and felt the best I had in 10 years. The very first day I met Shirley, she told me to not go vegan for they were the 'sickest people she treated'. Shirley claims to be a nutritional expert yet she is advising people against a WFPB vegan diet, which is the most scientifically supported diet for health and longevity. Her methods are reckless, expensive, and dangerous. She is either delusional or deliberately duping chronically ill people. Seeking her help was one of the biggest (and most expensive) mistakes I've ever made. She scammed me out of a lot of money. If you have serious, chronic health issues, find help somewhere else.

I have been going to Dr Shirley for about a year now. She is a wonderful, caring person and it's…read moreobvious that she really loves what she does. Dr Shirley is smart and funny and she genuinely cares about her patients. She is constantly learning and teaching and her passion for her practice is a breath of fresh air. I began seeing her for shoulder problems (labral tears) and she has been a tremendous help with that. I also had hip problems for years and she sorted those out in no time at all. Hip and sciatic pain is a thing of the past for me. On top of being an amazing chiropractor Dr Shirley is also a fantastic nutritionist and has been able to help me with several deficiencies and has helped me get my energy back up. If you're not feeling 100% I can't recommend her enough. She takes pride in her work and seems to genuinely find joy in helping others feel their best.

This is considering that with other chiropractors, I'd have spend at least a week in bed! Dr. Parker is also the only chiropractor that has made time to meet me at his office on a Saturday and Sunday! That's dedicated! On top of that, he has also made follow up phone calls to make sure I am okay.

Dr. Parker, if you don't want to work with promotors like LivingSocial, then don't sign up. My…read morefirst exposure to you has not gone as expected, as you will see below. I called and attempted to schedule a 1 hour deep tissue massage with the first person who answered (receptionist?... not Dr. Parker). I scheduled 4pm same day, which would have made me very happy since I was off work sick that day because of a tension headache. I received a call at about 2:30pm from Dr. Parker, saying that the 4pm time slot was double booked and would not work out. Since that time, I have received two calls from Dr. Parker in 48 hours, trying to set up what he called a "Chiropractic Consult" but I was already back at work and didn't have an open time. At the time of his second call (today), I asked him if 5pm was available, and he said yes. Before I got off the phone, I explained that I was expecting a 1 hour deep tissue massage that I had gotten through LivingSocial. He instantly switched gears and told me "that will have to be scheduled 2 weeks in advance" and further advised that I CALL HIM in a couple of weeks and he got off the phone as quickly as he could. Hmm... I do expect bait-and-switch from a used car dealer, but really? Feel free to tell me I'm wrong, but it doesn't take much to read between the lines. You take my massage off the schedule, and then make multiple calls to get me involved with a Chiro Consult. Finally, when you're convinced that I want the massage that I paid for, you put me off 2 weeks?!! I am better served by the regular office that I go to, who is also on the list for this promotion, thanks. I will be keeping this review up until and unless Dr. Parker offers the service requested on a timely basis.

I drove an hour to Beverly Hills to pick up the scrip only to get back to a pharmacy near my house and be told they can't fill it because it was not written correctly. I called their office and all they could say was "oops, sorry" and tell me I'd have to drive another 2 hours roundtrip to get another copy. For a doctor who is so hellbent on doing his job thoroughly, he treated all patients like automatic drug addicts to the point where you feel like you're on trial, you'd think he'd be attentive enough to write a prescription correctly. Go somewhere else.

I have been seeing Dr. Malone for about 6 years now, and he is far and away the best chiropractor…read moreI've ever been treated by. I spend most of the day working at a screen and keyboard and sometimes it results in intense neck, shoulder and upper back pain. Dr. Malone's adjustments are excellent for relieving the pain. He does not do anything that causes a dramatic pop or snap, and sometimes I leave a session wondering if he could have done more. But over the course of the next day or two I always find that the pain is becoming less and less noticeable. And I'm usually good for the next six months or so. Dr. Malone is a kind man with a good heart, and he is a gifted chiropractor.
