I have known and been going to Dr. Fischel for more than 30 years. He is not only a great chiropractor but he is also a great person. During the course of the last few years, I now try and go at least once a week or once every two weeks. Doing so has kept both my physical and mental health in balance which is so important. Dr. Fischel's office also has an amazing massage therapist who I try and see for an hour at least once every two weeks. Her name is Zoey and she is incredible. If you went to a spare for an hour long massage, you could pay hundreds of dollars. The fees here are significantly less and worth every penny and then some. read more

Dr. Fischel & Shelley are truly amazing! They are so informative, friendly, accommodating and my quality of life has improved significantly due to their care. I've seen a chiropractor in the past and had skepticism and fear going back to another chiropractor years later. Dr. Fischel never once pressured me into coming to him for care and told me he was always here for me. Almost 2 years after seeing him to buy a pillow, I decided to get checked out due to a numbing feeling I had on my index fingertip. My primary doctor said I had carpal tunnel, Dr. Fischel said it wasn't carpal tunnel and adjusted me over the course of several weeks and what do you know: MY FINGER REGAINED FEELING AGAIN after 8 weeks of numbness. Not to mention, my posture has been the best it's ever been too. I used to have severe neck and back pain, and both have subsided which has led to me sleeping so well. Who would've thought this would've been the case. Do yourself a huge favor and invest in your health by seeing Dr. Fischel, you won't regret it! read more

When I first was recommended to Dr. Fischel, I had been in a car accident and was super stiff and experiencing pain that wouldn't allow for full, or even moderate mobility. After my initial evaluation, he gave me a precise care plan and went to work. I feel so much better. I am back to working out and enjoying my young children without pain! I wish I would have gone sooner! I cannot leave a review without mentioning Shelley! She is the most amazing person. Talk about being greeted with a smile each and every appointment. She is so helpful and pleasant to be around. The office is clean, neat, welcoming and has so many cool antiques to look at. I recently took my son with me to an appointment & Dr. Fischel taught him about the spine and the importance of taking care of it. Now my son is looking forward to his adjustment! I highly recommend Olympic Chiropractic for the entire family! read more

I've seen a few other chiropractors in LA over the years and none of them have been as thorough and helpful as Dr. Fischel. It's so nice to finally see and feel some positive results, no more back pain for me! I highly recommend Olympic Chiropractic! read more

I have been going to a chiropractor for many years as well as worked for a chiropractor for over 20 years. That being said, I have a lot of experience in the field of Chiropratic. My doctor retired and it was time to find a new one. I was referred to Dr. Fischel for a flair up in my back a week before I was to get on a plane for 5 hours. I went to se Dr. Fischel and after the first visit I was feeling better. A couple more visits and I was able to take my trip and had a great time. Dr. Fischel and Shelley are great. I would highly recommend Olympic Chiropratic! read more

Been going here for years. Love that it's a family run business. I'm always made to feel valued and appreciated every time I come. Shelly is great and always finds time to squeeze me in due to my crazy schedule. Dr. Fischel always knows the areas that are bothering me without me saying anything. He's some kind of magic man! read more

Another great adjustment and what a difference it makes with walking and how you carry yourself highly recommended for overall healthy well-being stop in and get yourself adjusted read more

Shelley and Glen are incredible humans. They have helped me with lower back pain and fully cured my chronic shoulder pain. They always get me in no matter what. They are kind and they truly care about their patients. I can't say enough great things. read more

This is a very, very, very long overdue (and a legitimate) review for someone, who for the past 13 years, has been there for me, and my back! Now, that I'm moving away, I owe it to him to return his favors (to me, his treatments are more like favors to my body). Dr Fischel, not only is an AMAZING chiropractor, he is an amazing human being, friend and life coach. His wife, Shelley, has been nothing but great and always manages to get me in with my unpredictable schedule. No matter what part of LA I lived, I drove to see him regardless of the traffic! I will truly miss them and wish the best for this great people. Go to him without a doubt and tell your friends about them. Thank you. AA read more

Olympic Chiropractic - Dr Fischel and Shelley - Chiropractors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have had a terrible experience with Olympic Chiropractic. Dr. Fischel has been rude and made this an extremely unpleasant experience that I would not want others to go through. I was in a minor car accident and sought an evaluation/treatment at Olympic Chiropractic as it was covered through American Specialty Health Network, a contracted facility through my insurance provider Kaiser Permanente. The office is small and I believe only two doctors practice here. I received treatment from Dr. Tebbe and each visit, at most, was five minutes as that all that was needed for my treatment. Shelley, the office manager, would be there to greet me each time and was friendly and welcoming (at first). Other than a slightly off-putting vibe that I got from the doctor, these visits were fine, albeit short. I found it odd that the doctors told me it was mandatory to attend an hour long "class" about health and chiropractic services. It wasn't until I attended the class that I found out that it was basically a useless presentation/sales pitch about their business and a request for me to refer my friends and family there. I didn't find their information relevant and as another review stated, the doctors would ask a series of questions and expect everyone to know the answer. Stop wasting people's time, you're the doctors, if everyone knew the answer, they wouldn't be there. At the end of my treatment, I thought that my entire bill was paid and taken care of. My health insurance paid the chiropractic office their agreed-upon contracted rate, and my co-pay was also satisfied. A few weeks later, I received a nasty phone call from the office manager, Shelley, accusing me of withholding payment and holding their money hostage. I was startled and called my insurance provider to clear the matter up. Initially my insurance provider informed me that nothing is to be paid above the contracted rate. I relayed the message to Shelley who quickly got very aggressive and said that they weren't obligated to follow the contracted rate. Just by her demeanor alone, it seemed like this could be a case of a doctor's office trying to double-bill and collect as much money as possible, while hoping that their patients won't know any better and will just blindly pay. I was blown away at the attitude. What reason did I have NOT to trust my own health insurance provider over this office? While going back and forth between Olympic Chiropractic and my health insurance provider to resolve the matter, I have been nothing but courteous to them. In return, I have been accused of being intentionally difficult and robbing them of their money. All I was trying to do is figure out why they are telling me one thing and my insurance is telling me another. Why would I pay them when I had a valid reason to think otherwise? Dr. Fischel has been downright rude and inferred that I had made the situation complicated simply because he refused to hear what I had to say and wanted me to blindly accept what he said. I am truly blown away at how terribly he handled this. I would never withhold something that is due, but any smart person would do their due diligence before paying. It seems their tactic is to be condescending and bully their patients. All in all, this has been a nightmare to deal with. Sorting through insurance networks and logistics can be cumbersome enough, but throw unprofessionalism and a bully of a doctor into the equation and you'd be better off not seeking treatment. Dr. Fischel has been extremely short with me and has refused to answer my questions in any sort of thoughtful manner. Their attitude and tone very quickly showed they had no regard for me as a patient. I would never recommend this office to anyone. Please go elsewhere. read more

Gosh I'm forever thankful for Dr Fischel. I have never felt better in my life! I came here after a car accident & I got the best treatment plus info on why certain parts of my body were hurting! The receptionist is also super sweet! I have been to another chiropractor before after another accident and I went on so many sessions without ever feeling better. Def coming back! read more

I can not believe I have not written a review until now! Well, better late than never!! Dr. Fischel and I met many years ago in Century City. I was the Building Manager of the Watt Towers and the weekly Farmers Market was open. Dr. Fischel was in a booth giving out information and free five min massage's. I was impressed with his knowledge, care and commitment to his craft. I had worked for a Chiropractor in my late twenties and yes Dr. did know the man I worked for. I have been and have referred others too Dr. since 2005. In addition, the office is managed by his lovely wife Shelley who is extremely efficient in running the office. If you are having a bad day, just call the office and listen to her message. You become part of their family. You get much more than an adjustment when you enter and leave the office. read more

If you are a skeptic because you've been to so many chiropractors and you feel like giving up, DON'T. Run to Dr. Fischel! I knew I could relax and depend on his expertise due to his hands. My neck was stuck for years/decades. He has been the ONLY doctor to actually adjust it properly. This practice isn't good, it's AMAZING! Thank YOU, Dr. Fischel, for helping me!!! read more

I have such bad luck with chiros and this was just another one of them. I forgot which doctor it was, but he kept on asking me stupid questions (What do you think this x-ray means? What do you think your back does when you do that? Me: Why you are the doctor, why don't you tell me?? If I could answer those questions then I would be the doctor, and be paying my self 100+ dollars an hour, HM??) and looking at me with this creepy look that freaked me out. Mostly, I could totally tell they were just trying to get me to come back multiple times a week (rather than treating me) so they could get paid :P they made it so obvious. Also they told me my copay differently for some reason - I just wasted like 50 bucks. Never going to any chiro... again. read more

I recommend (and have recommended to friends and family) Dr. Michael Tebbe at Olympic Chiropractic. If he was a car, he'd be a cross between a Ferrari and a Bentley. Why you ask? A Ferrari because he performs. He's accelerated my recovery from a persistent knee issue and had me up and running from a major ankle roll (basketball) and pinched nerve in my lower back (basketball) in a few days. I thought I would be down and out for weeks. A Bentley because he has genuine class about him. I'm not talking Beverly Hills "class". Dr. Tebbe knows his craft well, but his demeanor is what makes him stand above the rest. He listens very well and is a pleasure to be around. He explains himself and the treatment in as much detail and with as much patience as required. Having this in a Doctor is, in my estimation, a luxury. A few other points: He's a great motivator and educator on nutrition. His practices has free parking! He won't trash talk non-chiropractic methods and has arranged a cortisone type shot for a very bothersome shoulder in his previous practice. read more

Olympic Chiro has been one of the best investments of my life! Getting my body back to do all the crazy things I want to do pain free is AWESOME! I am an athlete and weekend warrior that loves to play hard. Over the years the aches and damage to my back and thereby my Central Nervous System have accumulated to the point where I've known I needed help but couldn't quite put my finger on it. Then I met Dr. Michael Tebbe who took an electronic reading of my back tension and an xray of my spine to find the 'sublaxations' aka 'pain centers' and to build a program with me to start correcting my body head to toe as well as my energy, focus and spirit. Not only is Dr Tebbe a wizard but in a limited number of visits he fixed my cousins neck/shoulder pain that he was suffering with and actually just this past Sat Dr Tebbe didn't charge him bc his back was fine and Dr Tebbe said he didn't need an adjustment. THATS HONESTY! Dr Tebbe is presently working on my brothers back and CNS and body as well. Ok ok... enough about the mastermind Dr Tebbe. ;-) I have also been worked on by Dr Desai, Dr Fischel and Frances who are all super knowledgeable, warm and masters of their craft. The entire staff is patient, kind, understanding, helpful, informative and trustworthy but they're also an exceptionally efficient business place that provides good energy, relaxing music, a personable feel and custom programs to help your specific needs and ailments. I love this place and will be an active client and advocate of theirs for as long as I live in the Los Angeles area. If I ever did leave, when I came back I'd visit them again bc I think that highly of their work, their approach and their character. Our bodies and Central Nervous System warrant proper treatment by trained certified professionals and I trust Olympic Chiropractic with mine and my families. I give them a A+++ 1,000,000* rating. read more

A few of you have asked about massage therapy/chiropractic services and I have a recommendation for you- Olympic Chiropractic is an over-all great group of practitioners to go to. These guys are awesome. I have been going to them for about a year now. Their Massage therapists kick ass, and so do the Chiros. I have been getting treatment for 2 different running injuries and Dr. Desai got me not only back on my feet(running 6+ miles/day), but also give me exercises and stretches that I can do at home (which has been a lifesaver, seriously). My personal fav chiro there has to be Dr. Roshani Desai- she is really good at "torturing" my hip-injuries into shape. And she's feisty, just like me. Dr. Tebbe is great too. I wouldn't normally promote this type of thing, but I've been going to chiropractors all over the country for 10+ years, and have worked/assisted multiple DCs as well. These guys know what they are doing. So go to prevent injury, fix injuries, or just go for massage. Either way, it's good for you! Bonus #1: They are close to my job & home (Literally takes me 5 minutes to get there from the Office-parking garage to door). How is this even possible in West LA traffic??!!? #2 They handle my insurance for me! Yay. read more

RUN!!! The 1 star reviews are very accurate and I wish I followed my instincts. Before I arrived I emailed my insurance card to the office and told them to make sure my Blueshield PPO is covered otherwise I'm not interested. She said they are "in network" provider. When I got there she said your co-pay will be either $30 or $70 and I said I think it's $30 but I'm ok with either. "Doctor" spent 40 minutes trying to convince me I had health issues (they call this the "exam") yet I kept telling him my neck is really hurting and need treatment on it. He spent the last 5 minutes massaging my neck. The rest of the time he took X Rays (which I never asked for) and explained to me how I need to come regularly Before I left I was told I owe $125 plus X Rays etc and that I'm not covered under insurance. I told the receptionist that's not what she told me earlier and that I'm only willing to pay my copay. She got very irritated and said will send me to collections. I then get an email from the doctor bashing my religious beliefs and stating I must apologize to his wife (who happens to be the receptionist). Needless to say I do not recommend this place - the 5 star reviews are probably fake The doctors response fails to address the fact that his wife, prior to my appointment, clearly said "your copay will most likely be $70 but might be $30 let me check" You, the reader, Please decide how you would interpret that - I interpret that as I am covered by insurance - but I will let you decide how you would interpret that. Furthermore I emailed my insurance card PRIOR to my visit and instructed them to make sure I'm covered Lastly - the doctor still only performed a "sales pitch" and provided only a 5 minute massage. I stand by my review of the facts read more

Dr. Tebbe is Awesome! OMgoodness. I've been seeing chiropractos for almost 25 years and his first initial exam with the Most thorough and extensive. Dr. Tbbe is professional, engaging and genuine. It's hard to believe he's a doctor. lol. I'm looking forward to returning for my follow-up, adjustment and the work we will be doing togeher to get me at my optimal health. Stay tuned! Fee King read more

I came in today for an adjustment and left feeling like I've never felt before. I couldn't walk completely upright without aching badly before coming i.! Dr. Fishel knew just what to do, worked his magic and 5 minutes later I could feel my back glowing! It was unlike any other adjustment I've had. Lest we forget Shelly, his lovely wife, who is always smiling and greeting me with positivity...every. single. visit. If you need an adjustment, please don't hesitate to come by. Your back will thank you! read more

I have never been to a chiropractor before and based on the reviews I decided to give Olympic Chiropractic a shot. I've had terrible upper back pain and migraines for the past year so I figured I should seek medical attention- the natural way. I have to say after the past two weeks I can feel such a difference in my body and overall well being. I used to get headaches every single day. I found myself popping 2 advils everyday and I hated how awful I felt taking medication constantly. It has now decreased to about 2 slight headaches a week, which is a HUGE difference for me. I also had no clue that chiropractors could help with headaches! Dr. Fischel really takes the time to help his patients and find the root of the problem. He is huge on patient education. Some other patients may find this annoying because you are constantly given pamphlets to read and then he will ask you questions about it, but COME ON I think everyone should understand what they are doing to your body! It makes me think about all the other doctors I've been to that haven't taken the time to explain to me what everything is and means. I also love that they work with you with payments. As a recent graduate who just moved out to LA and is overwhelmed with bills...I KNOW I can't afford $65 a visit. They set up a payment plan with me on the second visit and now I can get the treatment I need without breaking the bank. And to top it all off, the receptionist Shelly is AMAZING! She knows you by name, works with your schedule and is such a sweetheart. I have never met a better receptionist! Make an appointment at Olympic - you will not regret it. read more

i had my first and best experience here. I messed up my neck really bad on a friday morning while running. i was in excruciating pain and when it didnt go away in 24hrs i decided to go to this place because they were open on saturday and do x-rays there. I was scared but i went. i got Dr. Roshani Desai she listened to me and was very intuitive and gentle, she knew i was scared to get adjusted because of the pain i was in but we worked through it together and she eventually adjusted me and literally my pain was lessened by 70 percent and the next day almost completely gone. i will definitely only go back to her. everyone in the office was so nice and they gave me a great discount because i dont have insurance. Thanks Dr. Desai !!!! read more

Dr. Michael Tebbe helped me. I injured my foot 4 months ago and have been walking around in a bit of pain. Dr Tebbe did his thing on my foot and no pain when I walk. Wonderful!! read more

So far, I've had a great experience thus far. My back and neck feel great and Dr Fischer really knows his stuff. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

The most honest ppl in the biz. Dr Fischel is amazing at what he does. There's no close 2nd. read more

AMAZING, I have been coming here for about two weeks and I love it. I came in because I needed a chiropractor and I was getting a lot of tension headaches and neck pain. Dr Fischel is very smart and knows so much about the body. I am very thankful I came to see him. Thank you Dr and Chelsea who are amazing. I am feeling so much better now. read more

Dr. Fischel, has done a great job. Him and his staff make me feel comfortable and are always great to talk to. I came in because my back was hurt when I was involved in a car accident. After receiving treatment for a little while I realized that the sinus congestion that I had for over a year which I couldn't seem to get ride of, even with antibiotics completely went away. Not only does my back feel much more comfortable and better now but Dr. Fischel and Dr. Tebbe, fixed my sinus problem, something that I didn't even ask for. I have not been to other Chiropractors in the past but I couldn't image the experience being better then the one I've had at Olympic Chiropractic! read more

I have been undergoing chiropractic treatment for over 10 years as a result of degenerate disc disease in my lower back and recently my neck. I have been to almost a dozen different Doctor's each with their own technics providing varied degree of results. Dr. Glenn Fischel uses a direct manual decompression method on me along with other adjustment techniques that give me amazing instant results. In fact after I think my fourth visit after leaving this office I felt as light as a feather and happy for no specific reason, it took a minute for me to realize it was because for the first time in 10 years I was without any back pain!!!! WOW, This was an amazing feeling. Finally, I have found someone that can help. Dr. Glenn Fischel is the first chiropractor that has been able to give me relief from lower back pain almost immediately. I believe Dr. Glenn will have significant results correcting and maintaining my spinal health as I continue to see him. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with chiropractic work. read more

I was in a minor auto accident and Dr. Fischel was recommended. Although I was hesitant to go to a chiropractor, unsure whether I would receive any relief from the process, from the moment I stepped into the office and greeted with concern and a smile by Shelley, to my initial x-ray and exam by Dr. Fischel, I have had nothing but admiration of the process. Dr. Tebbe has been adjusting my spine, providing oxygen to my body and relief from pain that I have been experiencing for over 10 year. I am renewed and able to do simple things that I had been unable to do for over 10 years. I've cooked (although I still can not open cans), danced, flipped, touch my toes, all without pain. And I sleep so much better, sounder and awake refreshed and ready to start my day. Dr. Tebbe is gentle in his approach to my care and always with a smile. If I could give higher than 5 stars, I would because Dr. Tebbe and Olympic Chiropractic have given me back an active life and returned a smile to my face. read more

They've moved across the street but I'm still a grateful patient! They've got my back, and I keep going back to get back to where I once and always feel welcome and belonged. read more

Dr. Fischel's work provided immediate relief to moderate neck pain due to a minor car accident. This was my first time ever to a chiropractor and the results were wonderful. Shelly was very kind and patient through the payment process (I had forgotten to get a referral from my physician before visiting Olympic Chiropractic). Highly recommended! read more

I have been going to Dr Fischel for regular adjustments for about 7 years now. Prior to that, I'd never had any back problems and work out regularly. I went more for prevention and maintenance than for an injury. The x-ray of my back showed "an exemplary spine with no subluxation for a woman my age - late 50's." Dr Fischel never tried to sell me any kind of treatment program. However, he carefully explained how routine adjustments would keep me in tip-top shape. He was right! 5 years ago I had brain surgery to remove a deadly tumor. Today I am thriving and am convinced that my routine adjustments contribute greatly to my stability, balance, mental and overall health. Now I look forward to my monthly adjustment. Dr Glenn and his wife, Shelley, are an integral part of my medical team and are interested in my health and lifestyle. I am delighted to recommend them! read more

OMgoodness! I've been getting chiropractic care for nearly 25 years anad this first exam with Dr. Tebbe was the MOST extensive exam I've ever had. I am soo impressed with their work. I am a fan of Dr. Tebbe. He's thorough, prepared, engaging and I can tell he really values his patients. I'm looking forward to my next appoint (My adjustment). Yippee!!! Fee King read more

Excellent chiropractor. He is thorough and not pushing you out the door in 1 minute. After my adjustment I felt pain relief in just a few hours. Can't wait for my next adjustment! read more

I've been to about 20 chiropractors and have had some that are good, not great, and amazing!! Dr. Desai is SO amazing, going to see her is life changing. I have to recommend her highly to all of my friends and really everyone because she is Über gifted and has sincerely found her calling as a healer. I come in thinking I am feeling ok and leave feeling 15 pounds lighter, open, increased range of mobility, and free from any pain. She is incredibly gifted, did I mention that? I feel so blessed to have found her because my quality of life has increased so much. When you are not suffering from pain your energy increases and life seems a whole lot brighter. You will feel completely at ease in her care because she is phenomenal. read more

I went in today to see Dr. Tebbe for an initial visit. The staff was nice, doctor was nice, but at the end of the day I never received treatment. The doctor talked to me in the beginning about my goals and my injury, he did a few tests and evaluations and told me to return in a few days to talk about the evaluation. I asked about getting treated and he stated that he would need time to review the evaluation. UMM, so you're telling me I spent an hour and a half of my time in your office, most of the which was spent waiting for you, and I'm not going to receive ANY treatment? I understand if you don't want to do an adjustment, but at the VERY LEAST, he could have shown me some stretches to do meanwhile! Also, I told the staff from the get-go that I would not like x-rays. At one point, he stated, "OK now I would like to take a picture of your neck." I knew to clarify if he was referring to an x-ray, but I don't think everyone would know that an x-ray is what he was referring to. To me, calling it a "picture" is misleading to patients and patients deserve to know when they are receiving an x-ray. At the end of the day, it's simple. No treatment=1 star. read more

It's all smoke and mirrors here - be warned I tried Dr Fichel's services for about two months (9 visits) and didnt feel any better and in fact started to feel even worse back ache and pain. Fichel and his receptionist were quick to sign me up for a long term plan that would have been very costly -- so thankful I was able to get out of dodge and recoup some of my wasted money (but not all). Tread lightly if you visit this office as your wallet will ache about as much as your back pain. read more

Dr. Fischel has been great. I came in with neck issues, he came up with a great treatment plan that really helped. When when insurance coverage ran out for the year, he kept treating me for my same copay, to ensure my plan continued and I wasn't stuck with a big bill. Additionally both he and Shelley are super friendly, and I really look forward to my visits. Seeing Dr Fischel was my first time at a chiropractor but I'm super glad I went, and highly recommend him. read more

It's not often that a doctor will make you feel as if you're part of a family, but that's the feeling one gets at Dr. Fischel's office. Dr. Fischel's emphasis is on educating his patients to become caretakers of our own health. He doesn't pretend to know everything, yet he is all the while very knowledgeable about his craft and western medicine, as he studied that as well, before deciding he wanted to help the world with chiropractics. When I began making visits to the office, I wasn't having any current back problems, but I chose to begin chiropractic care for my overall health. It's not just about random cracking of the back-- the doctor does x-rays and other assessments to determine the health of your spine. The facilities are very clean. There is parking in the back. Make sure you park in spots labeled "Fischel." There is another chiropractor's office next door. Make sure you enter in the correct door as well! Somewhat recently, another doctor has joined the office. It doesn't seem to have changed anything too much, although you may find the office at some times in a bit of a hubbub. At first, it seemed to me chaotic, but they have done a very good job of creating a system in which the two doctors and their patients can happily coexist. I did get rear-ended and suffered pains in my neck and shoulder. After a few months of treatment, I was even better than I had felt before. The receptionist, Shelley, who is also Dr. Fischel's wife, is another reason I love going. They both show a genuine concern for your well-being, and take the time to get to know you. I can honestly say that they are one of the reasons being new to LA has been bearable. read more

Horrible experience. Doctor made me incredibly uncomfortable from the start, called me uneducated, then basically refused to treat me unless I signed on for a long-term treatment plan. This was all before he even looked at my back or spine. Thankfully someone else took me at the last minute as this would have been a huge waste of leaving work. Office is also on some dinky run down corner. read more
