Bryan is great and knows how to accelerate your body's healing process. Love the new remodel and excited for the new services they are offering. read more

I've been seeing Dhanell Azada Rocker for acupuncture for about a month now, and I can confidently say it's made a huge difference. When I first came in, I was experiencing constant tingling and numbness in both hands. I had already spent six months going back and forth with my primary doctor, who eventually referred me to a neurologist. After a $3,000 nerve conduction test charged to my insurance, I was told... it wasn't carpal tunnel after all. At that point, I was frustrated and still without answers. A colleague recommended Dhanell. I remember driving to my first appointment with the tingling in full force, thinking, "What if one day I can't control my arms?" It had started affecting every part of my life. From the start, Dhanell was incredibly thoughtful and thorough. She asked detailed questions, listened carefully, and started treatment right away. After just the second session, I began to feel relief. By the third or fourth, the tingling was no longer waking me up at night. Now, just a month in, the symptoms only show up occasionally. We're still working to get them to zero, but I finally feel like I have my life back. I'm sleeping through the night, driving with confidence, even paddleboarding again. I'm so grateful to Dhanell. This experience has brought me not just physical relief, but true peace of mind. I highly recommend her! read more

Would recommend the cocktails at the bar! Great space, good snacks and fantastic service!

Dr Ales is the best! I've been coming here for years. He diligently asks questions to figure out the problem, in this case my knee - but he's also helped with my plantar fasciitis and a couple of back issues over the years. He treats to solve the problem. He is always helpful in giving advice and follow up exercise. Cecelia in the office is helpful with insurance, billing and appointments. Street parking is readily available. read more

I will start by writing that with one session with Dhanell my leg felt so much better. I've had unexplained pain on my lower leg for 16 months!!! I saw my Dr at Kaiser, then a specialist, got an MRI, went to therapy, referred to a network acupuncturist, then felt somewhat 30% better. BUT the pain was still bothersome. I came to see Dhanell and I'm so thankful! I have to pay out of pocket because Kaiser does not cover here. BUT it is worth it. Dhanell spent time listening to me and actually talking to me about my symptoms. After TWO sessions, I can sleep without waking at night due to the pain on my leg. Totally recommend this place! read more

Great doctor! Very knowledgeable! Aided the speedy recovery from an injury. Would highly recommend!

I highly recommend OPR for acupuncture. I have utilized Traditional Chinese Medicine in the past, so I know that Dhanell Azada Rocker is a great holistic practioner. She explains the reasons for everything she does and has made a great postive impact on my overall health. I initially went to see her for arthritic pain, but she uncovered and explained the root causes of my medical issues and addressed them over time. Her acupuncture treatment is pain free, and she very knowledgeable on diet, herbs and allergies. She has made a difference in my life....and for those who are contemplating trying acupuncture -- I HIGHLY recommend her. read more

I saw Dr. Dhanell Azada at OPA and she was amazing!!!! She is a truly remarkable healer. I cannot recommend her enough! She has helped me so much. She is proficient and compassionate and very knowledgable about many aspects of health. I have seen her 7 times and she has treated me for a variety of injuries following a car accident. I was in bad shape when I first starting seeing her and after the very first appointment I was able to walk upright! She has decreased my pain, improved my mobility, and helped to clear my brain (bad concussion). She is trained in several modalities of healing including accupuncture, cupping, herbs, and NAETS (allergy elimination) among others. She was referred to me from one of my clients and I am so glad to have found her! I am a healer myself and a teacher of the healing arts (medical intuition) and I have worked with many healers, including many accupuncturists, and based on my knowledge and experience, I can say that Dr. Azada is a truly talented and gifted healer and doctor. I will be recommending her to all of my clients who need help with injuries, allergies, chronic conditions, and brain health. read more

My first acupuncture visit ever. Dhanell is an expert in her trait. She also care about all your body and not only your main concern. She was able to Confirm my feelings with how my body reacted to treatment. She recommended some vitamins which I knew I should've been taking a long time ago. I will be visiting her again next week and bringing my mom with me this time. read more

See all

My experience with OPR was great! I went to Bryan with a severe neck injury from training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Within one visit, there was noticeable progress in my situation. Working with Bryan over the next few weeks, I felt continual improvement in both pain level, and my range of motion. Under his care, I was able to return to training much sooner than I expected. Bryan showed a genuine interest in my progress. He would call/text to find out my level of progress. Bryan also gave me several stretches/exercises to perform between visits, to help expedite my recovery. I can't say enough good things about Bryan and OPR. I hope I don't need to see them again anytime soon, but if I do, I know they will be there to fix me right up! read more

I was delighted to see that Dhanell was in the area practicing. I had seen her a few times when she was at Advanced Wellness. My previous doctor had moved his practice and I was looking for a Chinese Herbalist/Acupuncturist. 3 years ago I had a serious Nora Virus stomach flu, and it has been a long road to optimal health as I have experienced consistent GI challenges ever since. My prev. doctor had me working through this and overall I was in good shape. Coming into Dhanell I had a bad mix of another bad stomach flu mixed with probably more challenges from a Doctor I used in the interim who put me on herbs that threw me off balance. I also knew Bryan Ales from Advanced Wellness and had worked with him for foot issues several years ago. I found him very friendly and helpful but never really got those feet issues corrected until I started working with an amazing massage/ortho specialist named Rheinhardt Arnold that help me correct the shape of my feet. OPR (The office is very clean, inviting, and the staff is friendly) I really admire the extra touches of clean linens, heat lamps in the examining room and a quiet relaxed atmosphere. The front desk people are also friendly. Dhanell: Upon seeing her I have been optimistic as I'm knew to her allergy modality testing NAET. She is friendly and helpful but alas so far I have not seen any major improvements. I'm hoping this will change and if so I will up my rating. The challenge is I was placed on some herbs that have seem to make me a whole lot worse. I didn't have an acid reflux condition before coming in. Yes I got a bad stomach flu but it has been a month, and some herbs I was given seemed to create a whole slew of other problems. I hope this will change and I will start feeling back to normal I have also been dealing with insurance challenges which is no fault of OPR, hopefully remedying that shortly. While stomach GI has been in severe stress, I have noticed slight improvements in other areas such as less overall body aches/fibromyalgia symptoms, less sinus/allergies and improved libido. Dhanell has been pretty good about returning calls/texts but sometimes contacting is difficult as the office is not open daily, or there are days she is not in the office, and I feel I'm left hanging for awhile which is distressing. This wouldn't matter if I wasn't in such GI distress at the moment. I do like that the office has supplements and that helps, but I notice they are not as well stocked as other offices I have been to. Overall though I feel Dhanell is a caring doctor which is what matters most. Hopefully we can work together to get me back to optimal health, it is just very discouraging when one is having several health challenges. read more

Dhanell has been a wonderful help with the treatments I've been getting lately. I had a bad flare up with my eczema and also with my stress I've been having at work. Within my first visit, there was a huge shift in my body and my mood. I was kind of skeptical before with acupuncture, but Dhanell has given me a lot of insight and education. I recommend everyone and anyone to visit this facility, and to try out acupuncture! :) read more

Most chiropractors try to set you up on a lifetime plan where you rarely see long term results. Dr Ales gets it done right and is focused on getting you out the door recovered vs. signing you up for life. Thank you! read more

Thank you !! read more

We have been coming to get acupuncture done with Dhanell for more than a decade. She has treated me, as well as many of my family members and friends with great success! I have really bad sinus infections from allergies. A doctor once advised me to move out of California to get rid of it. Another one wanted me to go through surgery to fix the problem. I refuse both so instead they prescribed me Flonase (which is a steroid). FINALLY, I decided to go to Dhanell and see if Eastern medicines and acupuncture can help me. After months of treatment, I am glad to say that I don't have to move out of California or get surgery! I don't have severe sinus congestion nor do I get them often. If I do get congestion, I immediately go see Dhanell for treatment and take the herbs she prescribed. I can honestly say that she has done miracles with my sinus problems! Another instance, my mom suffered severely from vertigo. There were days she couldn't get up from her bed because of it. She went to Dhanell for acupuncture and herbs. It's been more than 5 years and she hasn't had any recurrence of the vertigo. And another example, my husband was having bad headaches so extreme that he was having chills. I have never seen him so bad. He went to ER to get treated. They did a blood test and a CAT scan. All came back stating he is healthy and nothing was wrong. Weeks and he was still with the headaches. They gave him 800mg ibuprofen to help him, but it didn't cure him. He finally went to see Dhanell and with the initial consultation and treatment she found out what was causing the headaches. She treated him for several weeks and to this day he has never had a severe of a headache as he had during that time. We cannot thank her enough! IF YOU WANT TO BE HEALTHY THE NATURAL WAY, ACUPUNCTURE, CUPPING, and HERBS ARE THE WAY TO GO!!! DHANELL IS AN EXPERT IN HER FIELD AND I TRUST HER TO KEEP MY FAMILY HEALTHY!!! I CAN GO ON AND ON WITH SUCCESS STORIES, BUT YOU HAVE TO GO GET TREATMENT FROM DHANELL AND SEE FOR YOURSELF HOW AMAZING SHE IS!!! read more

I get acupuncture from Dhanell. It's the absolute best, you leave feeling revived. Everyone should treat themselves to this experience, it is life changing. I had a nerve severed by a dentist and it gets me through my ailments and depression! Love this place. read more

I have been a client of Dr. Ales for six months. I currently train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu full time, and I will be the first to admit, if it wasn't for Dr. Ales, I would not be able to to train the way I do today. He has "FIXED" many injuries that I have incurred in competitions and training. I have recommended many of my friends and family members to him as well. He is a great doctor who genuinely cares about his patients and it definitely shows. If you are in the LA or Orange County area, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Ales. Thank you for your help Dr. Ales. read more

Bryan Ales knows feet. I've been working with him since 2010, and he is the reason I continue to complete long distance races (ultra, marathon, half marathon). In the beginning, he took over an acute foot issue and resolved it, getting me mobile for the LA Marathon. Since then we've been working through a series of issues (he's made me several pair of evolving custom orthotics). Today I have a regular preventative maintenance program with him. When he's done saying "hello", and the focus turns to your feet, it's like a laser. He is really, really focused and he knows what he's doing and (in all likelihood) what needs to be done. He also knows all the other chiro stuff -- but that's not my focus with him. AND, he is an athlete competitor -- running, surfing, martial arts -- so he totally gets the importance of training and being ready for an event. I think the guy walks on water (pun intended). read more

Dr. Ales is not just a chiropractor; he is a miracle worker. I saw him after my first pregnancy when I was suffering from extreme anxiety. I did not want to be on high does of meds that my GP wanted me to take so I sought out other, more natural methods. I came across Dr. Ales through a referral from my acupuncturist. Dr. Ales gave me an Alpa Stim machine that is as small as an Ipod and attaches to your earlobes. It works by balancing the brain. Each time I felt a panic attack coming on, I reached for the machine and I found immediate relief. Not only that, but I discovered that the Alpha Stim helped with insomnia and pain. Dr. Ales down-to-earth nature makes him quite approachable which helped because I had a stigma attached to my issue. Dr. Ales cares! You can't go wrong with him! read more

Dr. Ales continues to be a great Chiropractor. I always feel great once I leave his office and am able to continue on with my exercise regime. read more

I've known and been treated by Dr Ales for many years. What I like about him is that he's smart, passionate, and always looking for ways to grow professionally so he can better serve his clients. Always up on the latest technology, he finds ways to adjust and treat so that one can recover and heal as quickly as possible. Both my daughter and I have recently been treated for shoulder injuries, and have been very pleased with the results. He also has been very proactive in getting my daughter's feet in alignment and properly supported so as she goes through her next growing spurt, she will be in optimal shape. His staff is super friendly and the Pandora tunes are cranking, all adding to a great vibe when you go in for a treatment! read more

I've been seeing him since about 1998 and he just keeps getting better! Thank you Dr Ales! read more

I've been receiving acupuncture treatments from Dhanell Azada for the past 5 weeks. I can't say enough good things about her and the care she provides (the office staff are great as well). My migraines have diminished in severity and frequency (initially why I sought her assistance). With her help and suggestions, I have made diet and lifestyle changes that have greatly improved my overall health and well-being. Thank you Dhanell! read more

I came into this office with severe back and rib pain. After one session with Bryan Ales, I felt instantly better and was finally able to move around without a great deal of discomfort and pain. He really took the time to figure out how I got injured, and used a variety of methods to help with my pain. I will definitely be coming back for all my future chiropractic care and will be referring anybody that needs care over to Bryan. read more

Still enjoying the great body work and adjustments by Dr. Bryan Ales, having followed him over from his Long Beach office earlier this year. Also giving myself a chance to learn more about mind/body techniques through his coaching since my life has become very intense lately and I need to keep a competitive edge. Looking forward to the new additions to your practice in the New Year, Thank you Dr. Ales ! read more

I went to see Dr. Ales a month ago due to neck pain, numbness and tingly in both of my hands and left foot. Dr. Ales is the BEST chiropractor in So Cal. He has a gentle bedside manner, is a great communicator, is extremely experienced in his field and has an amazing understanding of our wonderful human bodies. My symptoms have improved dramatically since I have been seeing Dr. Ales. I look better, feel better and even lost some weight! The numbness and tingly have almost disappeared and my pain has decreased significantly. I can't thank Dr. Ales enough for being my chiropractor. He truly cares about your emotional, mental and physical health. I'm looking forward to achieving a full recovery and know that it is possible with Dr. Ales guidance. If you have any sports related injuries or repetitive strain injuries (like me), don't hesitate to contact Dr. Ales. You won't regret it. read more

Dr Ales is super nice & has helped me beyond belief. I had a strange case. My blood pressure was going through the roof because I didn't know what was wrong. Turns out my muscles in the back of my neck and shoulders were just so tight it was causing a pressure sensation. Seeing Dr. Ales has relieved that pressure and my blood pressure has gone back down as well. He really cares about his patients & asks that you update him via text. Awesome!!! read more

Dr Ales is awesome! I compete around the world doing Jiu Jitsu and Dr Ales is the reason my body can hold up to it! This guy is amazing!

Dr Bryan (Chiro) and Dhanell (acupuncture) are Wonderful and really listen intently. They both know what they are talking about and spend time with their patients, they don't rush you out the door. read more

I have been to many Chiropractors over the years, but Dr.Ales is absolutely THE BEST I've been to!! Not only is his equipment and methods of treatment Top Notch, but he's super nice and a great listener! He is an extremely knowledgeable person and passionate about what he does! The reason I went to him in the first place was because he has the K-Laser Cube 4. I wanted to find a Dr. that had this, after my cousin in Northern Calif. told me that cold laser therapy had made a remarkable difference in helping her dog with musculoskeletal problems to walk again. She had tried other treatments including acupuncture and private swimming therapy sessions in the past, but this was the one thing that made a huge difference. So having chronic back problems myself (4 bad discs in my lower back and 2 in my neck) from working as a Dental Hygienist for many years and from being rear-ended twice, 20 yrs ago and again last year, I was interested to see if this treatment would alleviate my pain. I searched the internet and couldn't find anyone close to where I live. I called around and left a few msgs to inquire about this treatment. Dr. Ales was so nice to call me back, and though he realized I was 1 1/2 hrs. away and would probably not have made the trip out to his office, he still took the time to explain how the cold laser worked.... which I appreciated! I decided to make the drive out to Seal Beach, only expecting to go once to see what this laser therapy was like, but after being pleasantly surprised to receive such QUALITY CARE treatment with the latest up-to-date equipment, I decided that the trip was well worth it and I have become a regular patient! His techniques made treatments at previous offices seem outdated. His office is very clean with a relaxing atmosphere and decor, and his staff is very friendly. His fees are also quite reasonable! Best of all, I always feel like a new person whenever I leave his office! Needless to say, this office exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be more pleased!! I have not written a review on any other Chiropractor prior to this, since they were just average; However, Dr. Ales is truly exceptional!!.....and No... he did not ask me to write this! : ) read more

I am a 70 year old marathon runner and Cross Fit geek with a lot of aches and pains. I finally had to slow down and almost quit because of plantars fasciitis and a sore knee. I went to Doctor Ales (I call him Doc awesome) for help and he got me running again with very little down time. read more

Alex Rubio Local 13 ILWU read more

Dr. Ales helped me with what I thought was a fast onset plantar fasciitis when in reality it had been building up for years, finally becoming unbearable due to some over training for two half marathons. I'm thrilled to say I am back to running with minimal pain, and I know how to address any small tweaks of pain before they become a huge issue. read more
