I've been tagging along with my friend who is currently seeing Dr. Craig Mortensen for her autoimmune disorder. His approach to it is something that needs to be taught and implemented in all practices. My friend has been living with her skin issues for several years and after extensive research has tried intolerable diets, lifestyle changes, and UV therapy, among other things. Some things seemed to help slightly for a bit but then things would just keep getting worse overall. We saw multiple traditional doctors and dermatologists, all of whom just wanted to put her on drugs (which have terrifying side effects). She was at her wits end... When we found Dr. Mortensen, he didn't even really look at her skin too much, but instead his approach was to look at the root cause of the issue. He had her take several tests in order to see what was going on inside her body, and through those tests, he could see where the likely cause was and set to provide a very strict regimen of high strength supplements and a special diet which is tolerable. After about a year working with Dr. Mortensen (meeting with him every couple of months), we are actually seeing lasting changes to her skin. He's excellent with responding via email and with getting supplements shipped out fast. If I were to quantify it, in the past, the most improvement would have been around 20% but then would drop back down. Since seeing Dr. Mortensen, we are noticing improvement around 70-80% which is incredible. We are still working with Dr. Mortensen and would highly recommend him to anyone who has been disappointed with their results elsewhere for their psoriasis or other autoimmune disorder. read more

I love this chiropractic office. Dr. Yalda is compassionate, intelligent and is very skilled. I would recommend him to anyone. Further, I really love Nancy the massage therapist as well. She has an an amazing touch and I was just where to put the pressure to make me feel better. I will be seeing her over and over again. read more

Back pain or any kind of body pain is horrible to deal with! So, I want to share how wonderful Dr. Yalda is at Best OC Chiropractic / Placentia Chiropractic Center. I've been coming here for many years, but I'm a new patient to Dr. Yalda. He's amazing! And very caring and always shows so much concern to make sure to ease the pain im in. He really listens to you and makes sure you leave feeling better than how you came in. Try them out! Your body will thank you! read more

I love how the massage therapist works together with the Chiropractor. Every time I am done with massage and adjustment I feel like a new person. Everyone there are amazing read more

Went here as a new patient and would 10/10 recommend. Dr. Yalda is a great chiropractor he takes the time to examine your issues and explain what's going on. He's a genuine Dr. who truly cares about his patients and takes the time to even return missed calls. The office is clean and front desk lady is nice. It's also easy to locate. read more

I WAS happy seeing Dr. Jody Rotuna, but then the few times I had to see the older Dr. Mortensen who was seeing her patients. Nice guy, but I have NEVER seen him wear a mask. A doctor...touching you...not wearing a mask!!! I also realized that the lady at the front desk never wore a mask. Yes, there is a plexiglass divider, but you have to also wear a mask! This office clearly does not care about healthy habits. read more

Be aware, this office does not require wearing a face mask for their staff and patients when I visited. I chose not to return to the office for personal safety. I had a negative experience with staff member Jeanie when I called concerning a bill from the office. I wanted to know why I was getting billed and where the amount was coming from instead of blindly paying a bill the office sent. Overall, she spoke to me in a very condescending and defensive manner as if I was unreasonable to question the bill and mentioning they've "been doing this for years". It took many back and forth calls between my insurance and the office to finally figure out and explain to me the reason for my bill. Essentially, the office charged me a PCP copay instead of the specialist copay and billed me the difference. I'm not sure why they were not able to figure out that reason initially. read more

This place was recommended to me. I showed up promptly at 4p for my appt, only to be told my appt was at 3p and that my gift certificate was no longer valid (it was cashed out by them) because I was a no show. In addition, they would not be able to see me because they were full. The best they can do? They will call me after they speak to the owner to see if they want to reimburse some or part of the gift certificate credit. Dear Owner, I took time off work and drove 30 miles because your office was recommend to me by one of your loyal patients. How this was handled with the assumption that the error was mine and the inflexibility in that response, leaves a bad taste. You may want to give your front desk staff autonomy to make some judgement calls. I was not a no show, I showed at the time I believe I was originally scheduled. read more

I have had massage therapy elsewhere for over 10 years and always feel relaxed and less tense BUT I Love NANCY at Dr Mortensen's office. I can feel the healing after an hour with her, I recently had a knee injury and in 2 sessions with NANCY I can walk without a cane and feel the healing. (I am still waiting for a referral from my Medicare Doctor after 8 weeks). My daughter in law told me about NANCY and I am sooooo happy!!! Get an appointment with NANCY!!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about the staff here. Ive been seeing Dr. Rotuna for awhile now and she is amazing. Its not about money for her its about care. She takes the time to listen and understand to deliver the best care. I also had my first massage, ever, with Nancy and she was absolutely phenomenal. She was polite, kind, easy going. It was a wonderful experience and i look forward to more sessions with her. read more

I'm a new patient I saw Dr. Rotuna for an adjustment several times and I walked out of there feeling fantastic. I will definitely be going back read more

Have been going here for years...I LOVE the massage therapy they offer. Nancy is AMAZING!! You absolutely have to call and book an appointment for a massage with her...Nancy. I am a regular and you can't beat the price...very affordable and you will walk out feeling rejuvenated. The entire staff treats me like family. They are courteous, friendly and professional. They take the time to really figure out what is ailing you and then they just fix it. I have never been anything other than 100% satisfied. All five members of my family have been there for chiropractic treatment and for a massage and we will keep going back!! read more

Definitely a 5 star!. Dr. Jody Rotuna is awesome. This is my third time; I went in almost in tears because of pain and stiffness. She is very knowledgeable, explains what she is doing and why, cares about my needs and got me back on track very quickly. I have a lot of confidence in her skills and she is firm and also gentle. I appreciate the exercise resources she provides, which helped me get back on track to a normal life. Thank you very much Dr. Jody. read more

I see Dr. Rotuna, maybe not as often as i need to! She's very knowledgeable, and explains what is needed, in detail. She works quickly, but takes the time if needed. ALWAYS accommodating, generous, kind and professional. She's encouraging but never pushy. Always lets you know if she'll be out of the office with plenty of notice. I'm glad I found her! read more

I have been a patient of Placentia Chiropractic Center since the early 1990s. I would remain a patient for life, no doubt, if I wasn't about to undertake a long-distance move. Just the same, when I'm back in town visiting family you can bet I will schedule a tune-up with Placentia Chiropractic Center. I wasn't always a believer in chiropractic -- mainly because it wasn't something anyone in my family was particularly familiar with. But when you exhaust conventional care and don't find relief, opinions change. Years ago, while visiting Knott's Berry Farm, I suffered not my first but among my worst "whiplash" injuries thanks to a 6' friend who was bouncing on a suspension bridge in front of me. I lost my balance -- or rather my neck did -- and from that time forward I seemed unusually vulnerable to painful spasms that made it difficult to turn my head. By the Fall of that year it wasn't taking much to set the spasms off. Schlepping my textbooks and art portfolio to/from classes at Fullerton Junior College was the final straw. It had reached point where I could not look over my left shoulder for months on end, making it difficult to drive safely or, for that matter, sleep at night. After six months of physical therapy at St. Jude Hospital, the PTs gave up on me because I still could not turn my head to the left to look over my shoulder. They concluded I had congenitally-weak muscles along the spine. I was on my own, still in pain 24/7. That's when I learned about Placentia Chiropractic. Enter Dr. Christopher Mortensen -- the doc who would change my painful young adulthood. A couple of X-rays and a couple of visits later, Dr. Mortensen, the founder of this practice, had me turning my head again. Was I scared at first to hear all that popping and cracking? Absolutely. But when I realized that I felt better, it became music to my ears. Even though getting to this office has always entailed a 30-40-minute drive, I have returned to Placentia Chiropractic Center again and again over the years. After a car accident in early 1997 I had no less than 52 visits. After a low back injury in late 1998, this was the first place I sought help. Over the years the chiropractors with whom Dr. Mortensen works have changed. Each has brought a fresh take and a unique approach. Dr. Rotuna miraculously took away my perpetual morning back pain by adjusting T12 -- when all along I had been blaming it on an old L4/5 disc injury. Dr. Ward and Dr. Adams -- both of whom are no longer with the practice -- helped me get my rotated hips aligned, allowing me to enjoy less referred pain and the convenience of being able to sleep on either side at night without being awoken to "hip" pain. Dr. Adams even found a way to successfully adjust my Middle-age problem -- a Dowenger's at the base of my neck, which had proven not to respond well in prior attempts. Dr. Craig Mortensen, in his practice of functional medicine, has expanded the practice in a huge way. (I just wish my insurance would cover his services!) The longtime staff at Placentia Chiropractic Center are equally fantastic. I have had the (mis)fortune to see a lot of medical professionals over the years and the odd thing about so many otherwise good doctors is that they tend, in my experience, to be lousy at hiring good staff for customer (patient)-facing positions. The staff here is both competent and friendly. And that is why it doesn't get better than Placentia Chiropractic Center! read more

This office has went downhill the last few years. The female Chiropractor is very unprofessional and has Personal issues that should not involve expressing them to a patient. Too bad, I did refer a few people and I did express her unprofessionalism. She pretty much said my Orthopedic Surgeon knows less then her.Find another office where they care about their patients. The other Doctors were always great there. Only she sucks. Check out the other Chiropractors in the area and change is good sometimes. You may now notice there is always an open time slot! read more

First time at this office and it was wonderful. Dr. Judy is so sweet, accommodating and is willing to teach you about your care and why you feel bad, which I haven't experienced with other chiropractors. She's also very strong which is a huge plus for me! I walked out feeling like i was walking on clouds, there was no more pain! The staff is also very sweet. They are actually the reason why I chose this office as other her offices I called were rude or seemed annoyed. I'm excited to continue my treatment here! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Rotuna. Without her I would have never known I have a subtle scoliosis (and I have seen other Chiropractors for years for other problems). She is friendly, courteous, professional, answers all your questions and gives you advice as to how to care for your spine issues with exercises, tools and supplement recommendations. She asks you to rate your level of pain at each appointment and asks what other health issues you have in order to give you a more holistic treatment utilizing chiropractic methods. After a full adjustment - and after focusing on your problem areas - you can either get a muscle stimulation treatment or the roller massage table (depending on your issue). Thanks to her I feel less pain and more energy. I also highly recommend Dr. Craig. Integrative and functional medicine is the future. Where mainstream medicine failed me repeatedly for decades, I have regained most of my health and more independence in my daily tasks in under a year thanks to Dr. Craig's treatments. Dr. Craig will listen to all your health concerns and use cutting-edge medical testing to make diagnoses and address the root of your health problems. My only regret is not going to see him sooner. read more

I came here years ago when I got into a car accident. They took great care of me there and really set me on the path to recovery. Now, years later, when my back needs an adjustment or I get out of alignment they fix me right up and send me on my way. They're so great about not just fixing me up or patching me up for the day but also giving me tips on how to continue my health betterment. I'd recommend Placentia Chiropractic to anyone. read more

I have been using only Natural/Homeopathic Chiropractors for 30+ years. I even had a home birth because I believe in natural. Turning 65 this year I decided, because so many people I know are getting really sick and turning to medicine, doctors and hospitals, that maybe I needed to have blood work done. I felt I should see if there is anything concerning my own health I needed to address. Then the dilemma came - do I now turn to conventional medicine and possibly be prescribed some crazy drug or ignore even going to the doctor , as it seemed there were no other alternatives. Until I found Dr. Craig ! My answer to prayer. Integrated Functional Medicine is the answer! Dr. Craig is highly knowledgeable in the area of complete body wellness and uses all the standard tools of conventional medicine to diagnose (Lab Blood tests, Stool Analysis,Heavy Metal Toxicity, Food Allergy testing etc.). He then uses natural clean alternatives to treat the entire systems within the body for optimum health. Treating the problem not the symptom. Lab Blood work was done with a complete extensive diagnosis and treatment plan going forward to increase energy, improve diet and jump start any areas of a tired and overworked system/s through natural supplements, diet and lifestyle change. I am happy to report all recommendations have made me feel amazing!! My system feels restored to increased energy, better sleep and I am a more relaxed happy self without back pain. (I now love Gaba - find out what that is). Do yourself a favor and try a natural approach to your health and my hope is that we won't need to use any of those crazy drugs out there. Our body is a fascinating machine and needs to be treated like one in order for it to work the way it was designed without drugs and surgery. Thank you Dr. Craig for sharing all your knowledge! read more

This review is based on my 16-year-old daughter's initial appointment with Dr. Jody Rotuna. My daughter had seen a different chiropractor for months with no, to little improvement, and this was basically our second opinion. We were told to arrive 15 minutes early, to fill out new patient paperwork. The receptionist was very kind and welcoming and we filled out the necessary forms. I should point out that the office is kinda tricky to find. Should you ever visit, it's in the IHOP center on Kraemer and Chapman. The main entrance is not inside one of the two buildings, but rather on the back side of the first building, if looking at it from Kraemer. Dr. Rotuna was on time, introduced herself, and gave us a quick tour of the office. This was especially helpful to learn the layout, where bathrooms are located, and so forth. My daughter explained several of the pain conditions she was experiencing and without hesitation, the Dr listened, examined her spine and recommended a scoliosis test. While the results were more positive than not, she identified something called Dowager's Hump. This is becoming more common with the current generation as they slump over their devices. The Dr handed us an assortment of paper resources. These included your nervous system and the function of each, proper back stretching exercises, spinal disc health, and more. The Do's and Don'ts of each are lessons or reminders, depending on how you look at it. She then adjusted my daughter in more places than I've ever seen! These included her ears, fingers, hips, and ankles! Keep in mind, she experiences discomfort in many of these areas, so the Dr would also share wisdom as she worked on key areas. Her terminology is simple to understand as well. In relating to my daughter's Converse shoes, she mentioned how not having an arch and better support, can cause back and joint problems, much like poor tires can make an automobile less functionable. Just when we thought we were done, she had my kid lay on this table that also moved and provided her with a hearty stretch. This helped the spine and vertebrae space apart some. Afterwards, she moved to the massage table and this too was impressive. Not one you just lie there on to receive a massage by a therapist, but one that electronically provided a rolling/kneading motion to the back of the body and heat! Supposedly, it's a complimentary treatment option that another doctor allows his chiropractors to use on their patients! My daughter left feeling great and is optimistic about future appointments and long term care. The bonus is that she's covered under Kaiser and receives so many visits per year for $5 each. Thank you, Dr. Rotuna and Placentia Chiropractic Center for helping my daughter feel her best and function properly! read more

This place appears to be two brothers who are Chiropractors sharing a practice. The lady working the front desk is friendly and efficient. Wait time seems to be kept to a minimum. The chiropractors seem intelligent, friendly, and good communicators. They also provide a variety of styles of chiropractic care. They have the spring tables, they offer actuator based torque release method, and the "hands on" method. They have their own x-ray machine and can get to work on you immediately. The appointment went well and I felt much better after being adjusted. I highly recommend. read more

Awesome. Totally happy. No overselling or trying to get you to commit to a certain number of treatments. Most reviews are from local people so you know they're legit. Very thorough treatment, not a crack, crack, here you go see you next time. Massage was awesome also. read more

Dr. Craig Mortensen (Integrative Medicine Doc) is very knowledgeable and understanding of any concerns you have. He takes his time to understand your symptoms and takes every measure to get to the bottom of it. Every visit is reassuring and making sure you're on track and feeling your best. I very highly recommend Dr. Mortensen if you are looking for an integrative doctor. He makes sure he resolves any issues you're having. I can not express how grateful I am to finding Placentia Chiropractic and Doctor Craig Mortensen! read more

Moved from Diamond Bar to the area three years ago and was in need of a Chiropractor recently. I decided to look on Yelp and decided to give them a try. Turned out to be a great decision This father and son duo work well together to help get you up and running again. I am not a big Chiropractor going kind of guy and told them so. No pressure, lecture, etc. They are just there to help. Turns out that our Chiro from Diamond Bar trained under the father of this duo. They are good friends and use the same sort of techniques which is comforting when someone has their hands around your neck! While it didn't dawn on my to ask my siblings for a referral as they don't live right in the area, it turns out they have been going here for years. And the price is absolutely right! I have no coverage under my health insurance so it is all out of pocket. My wife swears by her Diamond Bar Chiro but will be visiting these Dr's when she needs an adjustment. read more

I went for my DMV physical that is required for my job every 2 years. Last time I did my physical I needed it done immediately so I spent a lot more then I should have because I didn't do a lot of research. The average price of DMV physical is about $70, and I spent $147 when I went to CVS's Minute Clinic. Here they charge $60 for credit/debit and $40 for cash and takes a little less then an hour. I was able to call a day before and schedule an appointment to be seen for my physical. I brought in the DMV paperwork, but they also have it available for you if needed. The woman at the front desk was extremely helpful and friendly. The Doctor that saw me was also friendly and gave me his full and undivided attention. I have never been here before, but he really took the time to ask me questions and get to know me. I will be coming back here at least every 2 years for my physical, if not also for chiropractic work if needed. read more

I've been to a few chiropractor's offices to know which ones are good. The doctors here (son and father) really know what they're doing. They're not afraid to give me the strong adjustments I need and any time I go, I always leave feeling so much better. I highly recommend this place. read more

Dr. Craig saved my life - I truly believe those words to my core. I was first sold on him when we went to my initial consultation. I brought my husband, who was a skeptic in the realm of holistic health. We both walked out feeling that Dr. Craig was a competent Dr., and we believed he could turn my health situation around. This was no easy task as my health had been declining for several years, and we could not figure out why. Western doctors just wanted to give me steroids and other crazy meds. I was showing signs of a severe auto-immune disorder and my test results verified it. Dr. Craig made it clear that my situation was severe, and expressed the importance of my husband and I teaming up to do what was necessary to turn it all around. Over the next year working with Dr. Craig I listened diligently to his advice, took all prescribed herbs, implemented a wonderful new lifestyle change, and kept regular appointments so we could continue to tweak my regimen as necessary. I am so grateful for the numerous times he responded to my texts (even on the weekends) so he could help me with the crazy allergic reactions I was having. The autoimmune disorder was related to allergies, and, at the time, I literally could barely walk outside my house without having a reaction. Dr. Craig focused on the body and mind, proving that, overtime, taking the herbs, allowing regular naps (best advice ever), and changing my diet would pay off. I had spent over 35 years switching between holistic and western medicine, and as I grew older the condition had worsened. Six months prior to seeing Dr. Craig I even flew to Massachusetts to see another very well known functional doctor, Dr. Mark Hyman. Seeking a care professional that was in my own state, I found Dr. Craig - and it was the best decision ever to work with him. I can definitely say that Dr. Craig, along with my commitment to my health, has saved my life. I am now living a healthy, vibrant life, and I contribute it greatly to following Dr. Craig's advice, along with incorporating regular meditation into my day. Dr. Craig, I hope to never have to see you again. But if I do, you will be the first person I reach out to, even though you are two hours away. The driving and visits were worth it as I now have my life back. Thank you!!! Lastly, I cannot end this review without saying how wonderful the staff are at his office. I was always greeted with joyous smiles, and scheduling appointments was easy. I was treated like a person, not a number, and felt welcomed each time I went into the office. read more

This place is amazing. Our entire family comes here. I can't believe how low the prices are, which is why we switched to here. Everything is super nice. It's in a pretty building. The doctors are excellent. Their receptionist is awesome!! I have tried them all and I recommend any one of the doctors here. They are so thorough and don't just try and shove you out the door as quickly as they can. I also had a deep tissue massage here by Debbie, which was awesome. She is so funny and did such a great job! I can't say enough good things about these chiros. I highly recommend them and so does my husband!! read more

Very nice place. Professional and friendly. Affordable and they have great hours. My back is feeling great. My overall health is improving too. My wife and I come here. I was skeptical in the beginning but now I fell great. And don't forget to ice after. read more

Dr. Jody really made me feel awesome! Well not really; let me explain. A week prior I had an over the handlebar mountain bike fall where I bumped my head hard enough where I had neck and shoulder pain. So I had no unrealistic expectation of that being fixed. However Dr. Jody was able to alleviate much of the pain and as a whole make my body feel great. I did continue to have neck pain for a few more days, however I feel that if I hadn't gone to Dr. Jody that the pain would've continued much longer. read more

I was a little disappointed that very shortly after joining this group they raised their fees! However, they are very attentive, courteous and professional. Outside of a slight wait to be seen, once you see the Chiropractor the evaluation, treatment and evaluation go as quickly as you choose. I'm totally glad we found this place! Dr. Rotuna really really goes above and beyond to make sure she covers your concerns and questions are addressed. Thank You!! read more

I have been receiving chiropractic care for several years since my father-in-law is a chiropractor. I just moved to Fullerton, CA from Mississippi to help launch a brokerage firm. I have been in pain ever since a jiu-jitsu accident. My father-in-law scolded me for not going to get chiropractic care. So, I did. And all I can say is WOW! Dr Rhotuna is absolutely amazing. I get it, all doctor are supposed to "care." She takes it to the next level. The love she has for every patient that walks through the door is truly inspiring. There really are good people out there. As for the care she provides, best I have ever had. read more

I love placentia chiropractic center. I have been coming here for years and have always felt welcome. I just met Dr.Rhotuna and she is the best! She is so thorough! And the office staff are always nice. It's nice to speak to a live person rather than a push 1 and push 2 robot on the phone. Will continue to go here for as long as they will have me :) read more

So I got into an accident , felt like I cracked a rib. Wanted x-rays done, Judy took them and the only one I was concerned about didnt come out so there was no way of knowing for sure if my rib was fractured or not. Judy with 30 yrs experience decides she is still gonna do some therapy on me. WTF!! No use of common sense on her part there . so i went along with it hoping she would break what i thought was a fractured rib the rest of the way so i could go after her for malpractice or whatever. She told me we would look at the x rays the next visit. I went to the next visit told her i wanted to talk about the x rays , she said she was with another patient, she handed me a form and said read this I will be back. Took me 3 seconds to notice fractured rib unlikely and walks with a limp. I not dumb enough to stick with some one that lies for profit.I walked out said I wouldnt do therapy till my rib felt better. Got set up for a CT scan and yes 2 fractured ribs. She called and wanted to know when i was coming to talk to her about my ribs and what therapy we could do........Ya fucking right im gonna go back to you Judy? You tried to crack my back with fractured ribs and if i didnt move when you did you could have done more harm to my back. If i could give less then a star i would cause this place is suppose to deal with health issues correctly. Dont know much about the Mortensons, but would recommend staying away from this wanna be chiropractor. read more

I was referred to Dr Mortenson. By my co-worker who frequent this office. The doctors and Helen are very professional and friendly. They also know what they are doing and going to the sessions have helped my back pain. If your insurance covered for chiropractic that is a big bonus. When walking into the office, it feels very welcoming. The doctor will take ex ray before adjusting and you will get to relax in a private room on the electrical massage table. If you also want a medical message, the price for Oct is around $40. You will received email reminders which i like as well since i tracked everything on my phone. I enjoyed going here because its not fancy swancy but its straight to the point and most important helped me relax and relieved stress. When I leave, I feel refreshed as if I just woke up from a nice nap :) read more

Best and fastest for a CDL physical! Dr. Mortensen was a great doctor to visit to renew my medical for my CDL. His staff were friendly, patient (I messed up a DMV form that had tobe perfect), and I was seen right after I finished filling in my paperwork. Be ready to give a urine sample before you go in. It was tricky to find, but it was in the back, between the two buildings...by the curved green awning ove the rear entrance. read more

I pulled my back out about a month ago and about the worst ever. I remembered Dr Mortensen was local and he does the health screenings for the varsity sports teams for VHS. His staff was efficient and professional and after about 4 sessions with Dr. Mortensen of adjustments and electrical stim therapy I was walking upright again and able to get back to work. Feeling great now and about to hit the golf course again! read more

Worst experience ever I literally went in there filled out some paper work and he put some ice on my ankle for 15 mins and that' was it he didn't even treat it or adjust it honestly I woudnt recommend anyone to go there they suck ass read more

I am coming to this center since 15 years ago despite moving 20 miles away from Placentia. Very knowledgable, Professional and caring, Highly recommended. read more
