GlenFeliz Chiropractic Associates

After having a favorite chiro for over 10 years, it was very difficult to switch; but Dr. Farbenbloom sold his practice. Then, after years of ballet, tennis, volleyball and stunts, I started having some sciatic pain, so I went to a trusted spine Doctor. Dr. Pashman had performed back surgery on my husband 10 years ago, so I thought he would be the right person to help me tackle this «little» annoyance. Keep in mind, I am still dancing, and doing stunts, Martial Arts etc. Dr. suggested surgery… I call it the Frankenstein… cadaver bone in the front of my spine, screws in the back for support. REALLY? REALLY. I did not crawl in. Then he said that the good news was that I did not have cancer. REALLY. I didn’t know that was on the table! And then he said I might get 5 different options from 5 different doctors… so I went looking for the other 4. A friend suggested her chiro, Dr. Claire at GlenFeliz Chiro. I love the fact that above the table there’s a sign that says «Miracles happen here». Turns out she specializes in my type of problem. Basically years of running, jumping, falling etc that have tweaked my neck and spine into an ugly mess. (Go figure!?) After 2 treatments I didn’t even need the ibuprofen! It is a journey, make no mistake about that. But I am MORE than willing to give her time to adjust my neck and spine into a far better place, where I do not need the «Frankenstein» surgery and I am not popping pills to sleep at night and rise in the morning. Great staff with a family atmosphere… warm and inviting. I only wish they were in network with my insurance… oh well. Dr. Claire and the treatment she offers is worth it. BIG THANKS!

I have been coming to this office for many years (Since 2006). The best thing I can say to someone who is apprehensive or scared of being treated by a Chiropractor, is that they are not all made equal. You really have to search and find for a great Chiropractor and stick with them. (Like you would do any other thing which you value.) I can say that GFCA is the best and I would not trust any other doctor with my body and family. (Unless they come from the same school of thought and training). Just remember, that the human body was designed intelligently and we also must intelligently take care of our body’s. The spine, vertebrae, the entire skeletal system and the nervous system are the foundations of the human body. Everything else builds and connects from it. It all works together. You will see that GFCA has many other services and products and you won’t be disappointed.

I have been living with chronic back and neck pain for years and had become accustomed to the pain and limited mobility. I was rear-​ended in an auto-​accident last year and started seeing a (different) chiropractor for the increased pain. I started feeling better and stopped going (that Dr.‘s office hours were not convenient for me), but a few months later, the pain had grown steadily worse. I made an appointment with Dr. Claire based on a recommendation and cannot believe how much better I feel! Her initial exam is so thorough and that first adjustment released a huge amount of tension. The results were immediate and every adjustment since has been even better. In just 2 months, my pain has dissipated, I have less headaches, I’m walking taller, and sleeping better. And, she sells a great variety of supplements. I caught a terrible cold the week before my wedding and her vitamin recommendations cleared me up so that I wasn’t sniffling, sneezing, or coughing during my wedding day! Can’t recommend her enough! (And the office staff is great and hours are convenient. Yay!)

I love this office. Been coming here since 2007 or 2008. Thanks to my friend Albert Tampi who introduced me to Dr. Claire. He was my high school friend who always seemed to be sick (sniffles, allergies, coughing, etc). One day before we went to hang out he said «I need to go to my appointment.» He told me about how chiropractic care has made him healthier and he noticed that since he has been treated he no longer gets sick as easily. I accompanied him and met Dr. Claire, I was in for a treat! She is so passionate about our health and holistic care. After the initial meeting I scheduled a consultation and have not looked back since. Dr. Claire has adjusted me since then and has adjusted me while pregnant with my 2 babies (2014 & 2015) and currently adjusts all three of us. I could go on and on about the benefits of chiropractic care but I’ll just talk about the office. Staff is very friendly and efficient, parking is valet but you get free validation from the office, they take some insurance, and they do not take American Express. Office hours are convenient and we don’t have to wait more than 15 minutes to be seen. It’s easy to make appointments, staff is very helpful, and the office is kid friendly. Do not hesitate to bring your entire family, since we have been going to Dr. Claire our immunity is higher, we are more active in our own healthcare, and we have less visits to our pediatrician. Thank you Dr. Claire and all the staff at Glenfeliz for taking care of our growing family!

We have been patients of this business for many years, even before Dr. Claire! We love it. Wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Love the staff and look forward to our weekly visits!

Our teenage son has suffered from sports related injuries for the past year. Dr Claire is extremely attentive, personable, and very skilled. She remembers my son and knows exactly how to help his aches and structural issues. The entire staff is friendly. The office is efficient and respects your time.

Dr. Claire is effective and thorough. She also has an amazing personality! Dr. Claire makes the entire experience tremendously fun! I use to be scared of getting adjusted because of all the noise from the cracking bones. Thanks to Dr. Claire I am no longer scared. She walks me through it as she is doing the procedure. I highly recommend this chiropractic facility and encourage all to get adjusted by Dr. Claire.

Originally scheduled a thermography (a proven to be safer, more accurate, alternative to mammography) and was so impressed with the balance of professionalism, friendliness, and ease of feeling at what was an anxious time for me. Results were immediately reassuring and thorough. I highly recommend this choice in preventative care and will never return to the excessive radiation of mammography.
I had suffered with lower back pain and headaches for years, and more recently neuropathy, so six months following my thermography I made an appointment for chiropractic evaluation and eventual weekly adjustments that would reshape my spine and relieve a pinched nerve.
In less than a year, I feel SO much more limber and in overall good health, and no pain to speak of. I actually look forward to my appointments and at-​home exercises.

Dr. Claire is a great doctor and she is very thorough. She is out of network for my insurance and I have to pay out of pocket. She is worth every dollar. I have had back and neck pains for years. This is where it will get fixed, finally!

I’ve been going to Dr. Claire for over 10 years — I went as the result of a tiny bad move that threw my whole neck out… over the course of three months range of motion came back that I didn’t even realize I had lost. Now I go every two weeks to keep everything flowing — I’m a firm believer in the positive effects of chiropractic, and Dr. Claire is a wizard!

I have so many wonderful things to say, it’s hard to decide where to begin. I guess I should make it very clear that I had always been very skeptical about chiropractic care and went in due to neck pain during a pregnancy VERY reluctantly.
This was over 3 years ago. Here are some of the many things that Dr. Claire has done for my family.
She finally figured out I had gallstones (I had suffered from since I was a teenager) and helped without the need for surgery or drugs.
She adjusted me throughout my last pregnancy, resulting in the most comfortable, pain free pregnancy together with a drug free delivery and a healthy daughter. This is so much more meaningful because I had lost my third son shortly after birth and my first daughter during the second trimester of pregnancy.
She not only figured out my intolerance to gluten and how much is was hurting my health, but helped me to adjust to the horrible world of gluten free food ;)
But all of that is nothing compared to what she has done for my second son. From the time he was 8 months old, he had gone from specialist to specialist due to horrific digestive problems that led to failure to thrive and a complete dependence on adult doses of drugs to barely function normally. After blood work, biopsies and a hospital procedures, there were no answers, just drugs, which still required him to have painful enemas to clean him out at least once a week.
He was not putting on weight and he only 4 years old. Dr. Claire offered to check him out while we were on the waiting list for Children’s Hospital. After the exam, she identified exactly where the problem was stemming from. She explained that it would take time, but she was sure she could get him to heal and function normally without any drugs. I honestly didn’t believe that was possible, and it stills makes me choke up now, when I look at him and realize that Dr. Claire was right; it took about a year until we finally reduced his meds to zero, but I have a 7 year old who is full of energy, is thriving in every way and POOPS!!! No drugs, no pain. This means more to me that anyone can imagine.
Dr. Claire, Dr. Kristen and all their amazing staff have changed our lives. They have been nothing but supportive and I feel that because I was willing to listen to the input, implement their suggestions and have the patience they asked of me, I have received nothing short of a miracle from them. My daughter had her first adjustment at 3 days old and is by far the healthiest child I’ve had. We all continue to get adjusted once every two weeks to maintain the benefits we’ve enjoyed. THANKS GUYS!!!

I was suffering from back pain while running and felt wrist pain from extensive computer use at work. At first I tried massage therapy and I felt great immediately, but it couldn’t solve the problem. A close friend who had seen huge success during a regular chiropractic routine at the GFCA family had preached the healthy lifestyle to all of his friends, I was smart enough to listen and act before my problems developed into something more severe!
The GFCA family helped me gradually reduce my back pain and eventually it diminished over time. I’m now able to run as long as I want to without being inhibited by the pain that was there. Most importantly, I learned that keeping a chiropractic routine enables my body to function to its best ability to prevent future issues from becoming chronic. Who wouldn’t want to find a method to help heal your current issues? Most importantly, regular practice keeps your body functioning at its highest potential to prevent future complications!

Let me start off by saying the adjustments are great! Dr. Claire & Dr. Kristin are great at what they do when it comes down to it, but a lot of other elements in their practice are far from great such:
They over-​book patients and have people waiting for a minimum of 30 minutes up to 2 hours. [NOT EXAGGERATING] — And this is with an appointment!
Also, they have ridiculous policies that will make you want to never go back: You must visit them within a 2 – 3 month period, otherwise you will need to pay excessive unreasonable fees to return.
Aside from the wait, and unfair office policies, they charge $ 50 for adjustments, even when they sometimes don’t/can’t adjust you due to soreness/​stiffness.
I honestly liked this place until I felt like it was just a money-​making place where the main concern is how to juice your patients into giving you more money for supposed priceless health that may take you YEARS to achieve. Eventually, you get the idea, and you get the motive. So, you find a different chiropractor!

I came to GelnFeliz by the luck of the draw on an internet search. I ran a rambunctious youth with gymnastics, diving, cliff jumping, and cross country running until I slowly had to stop all activity. I had been experiencing debilitating pressure in my head and nausea upon any jarring activity on my spine. A few years ago it caused me to give up running and grew worse over time to the point of not being able to walk without severe symptoms. I went through a wild goose chase with MDs. I had 7 MRIs and had two USC neurologists completely stumped. I even saw a neck specialist at USC who told me that I had two ruptured disks (C5 and C6) but he «wished all his patient’s necks looked like mine,» offered me no help, and sent me on my way. About to lose hope and accept that this would be the rest of my life, I googled chiropractors in the area and randomly called GlenFeliz.
As you can imagine, I was extremely skeptical from the minute I walked in but they had great attitudes and I was willing to try anything at that point. I had an x-​ray (which no MD even thought about giving me) and Dr. Claire sat down with me to explain everything. It was a time commitment but I will never think twice that the time was well spent. I was then told that I needed to come in 3 times a week to catch up with the rate that my spine was subluxating (essentially getting worse and worse). Being brought up in a western medicine mind set, I was shocked that one adjustment wouldn’t just fix me up and send me on my way. But I committed and within about 4 weeks of regular visits I was able to walk again, symptom free. I could not begin to explain how good that felt and I began to feel hopeful for the future. This had me hooked and I started looking forward to my visits. I began telling all my friends and family about how awesome chiropractic is.
I owe so much to Dr. Claire and Dr. Kristin and have grown to deeply respect their practice. They spend the time to make sure each patient is educated on their situation, why they are receiving specific adjustments, and what those adjustments accomplish. They begin slowly to see how your body reacts and over time add your necessary adjustments. Dr. Claire was a former pharmacist who gave it up for chiropractic. You can tell how passionate she is about helping people reach a drug free state of wellness. I have been able to put all my trust that any issue I have will be resolved over the course of my time at GlenFeliz.
In terms of pricing they are amazingly affordable for something that will affect how you feel for the rest of your life. At about $ 57 dollars a visit during your first stage (about 3 months depending on your situation) and they work with insurance companies. I was happy to put up the money. After thousands of dollars spent on tests and no answers from MD’s, it was money well spent. I am now considered a «Wellness» patient. I spend around $ 39 a visit in the wellness program and visit once a week.
My biggest advice is that you need to commit. It seems like a lot at first, but a month later your ideas about health are completely changed. I cannot be happier that I am able to not rely on pills to feel well and I love preaching the words of chiropractic and jump at the opportunity to refer friends. (We even take pictures of our x-​rays on our iphones and nerd out about them over dinner.)

I’ve been going to Dr. Claire for over 10 years. Initially, I had gone to her after a car accident that left me with a horribly injured neck and lower back. Not only did she help lesson the pain, but she started me on a road to a healthier body all-​around.
I am allergic to all over the counter pain medications so when I have a headache I rush right over. She always is able to squeeze me in and help ease my suffering. I don’t know what I’d do without her and her wonderful staff. It really does feel like I’m part of a very special family.

Dr. Claire is amazing! I had injured my spine and neck and through series of adjustments my back and neck feel so much better. She is so thorough and extremely knowledgeable and that makes you feel like your in good hands. I am on the road to recovery thanks to Dr. Claire!

I was initially referred to Dr. Claire by my midwife when I was pregnant with my son in 2010. I wanted a drug free pregnancy and birth, but was dealing with a lot of sciatica pain. Dr. Claire was great at relieving my pain and helping baby get down into proper alignment and position. I ended up with a more manageable pregnancy and a drug free birth. I also teach Bradley Method Natural childbirth classes and have had Dr. Claire come in and speak to my class about the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy. I also saw her after I had my baby, because of all the back pain in constantly carrying a child and breastfeeding… a good adjustment feels fabulous then!
Recently I was in a car accident and had to go back to her. Dr. Claire and the staff are amazing, attentive and caring. They are also very reasonable, at only about $ 57 a visit. I would highly recommend this office for all your chiropractic needs!

See Brianna’s review… she tells it pretty much how it is. They are out to make money and that’s about it.
Another thing that I found odd is that Dr. Claire leaves the doors open to the patient’s room while she does adjustments and people (staff & other patients) stop in and talk to her while she is adjusting you. If I am paying a doctor that amount of money… it would be nice to have that 5 minutes alone with the doctor.

I have been going to see Dr. Claire and Dr. Kristen since April because of injuries sustained in an accident. I was hit by a car while riding by bicycle to work, the driver hit my left leg, I flew and landed on my right side. Amazingly enough my helmet saved my life, but that’s a different review! Having two fractures, two sprains, one with multiple tears, displaced ribs, a tilted pelvis an several other injuries I was a mess. A friend referred me to GlenFeliz and I went but was unsure what to expect. When I was in for my evaluation it was the first time since the accident I felt like I was being taken care of, and I saw a lot of doctors. I have been receiving treatment three days a week and I am positive my progress is in large part attributed to the care I have getting from both Dr. Claire and Dr. Kristen. The staff is wonderful and I feel like I am always a part of a family. I am still healing and I really can’t convey enough gratitude for the treatments I receive at GlenFeliz.

I have seen Dr. Claire O’neill for chiropractic adjustments about 4 times now. I have had extensive chiropractic care in my life, and I can say honestly the this Dr. knows how to move bones. I feel that she give s a very thorough adjustment, from head to toe. Her initial exam was very comprehensive, and she spent a lot of time asking questions and giving me a once over. I am not thrilled about her heavy reliance on x-​rays, as it is now questionable as to whether they are really necessary in chiropractic, and I prefer to avoid them whenever possible. But the Dr. is skilled in adjusting, and that’s great to find. I pay out of pocket and appreciate her reasonable rates: $ 79 initial exam and $ 50/​adjustment thereafter.
