I had only been to a chiropractor one other time, decades ago. I had physical therapy and OMT before the pandemic, but a recent exercise mistake made me reconsider chiropractic care. I found TLC Chiropractic on Google and was impressed with the many amazing reviews. So, I called them. The receptionist was gentle and caring and assured me that mask wearing is required, which was a huge positive for me.
I was also able to get in right away! The intake process was thorough, and I felt very respected by everyone. Dr. O was patient with me. He explained that I had a sacroiliac joint sprain. His knowledge and sense of humor really helped me to trust that I was (literally) in good hands! I went in two days later, as recommended, for a follow up treatment, and met another super nice front office person. Dr O said I could come back one more time, if needed, but that I'm good to go, basically, with some exercise restrictions. I honestly did not know what to expect, but I had such a good experience there. I recommend this office highly, and will definitely go back, if need be.

I have been going here for years (on/off depending on my needs). Even though this place does not accept my insurance, I STILL go here. That says a lot. I love the doctor and he is very kind. The owner is very friendly too. I wouldn't let just anyone crack my neck and back regularly lol.

Have been to many many many Chiropractic offices all over California in my lifetime (unfortunately). I decided to come here a couple times after speaking with the owner and wanting to give the office a shot. The first visit I was met with total apathy it did not feel like the office or DC really cared about my health or well being at all. I usually don't judge a business by just one experience and I also contacted the owner to let him know of my experience unfortunately upon the second visit things did not change too much.
I was greeted by a woman named Lisa who I will say does but the L in TLC she's a very nice and sweet woman who does her best to be attentive and present. I did see the Dr again and he seemed to care a bit more than 0% but that's not really saying much. He did the bare minimum and checked off some mental check boxes in his head to show he was doing his job. Would not recommend this experience to anyone. I did find another chiropractor shortly after who has been astounding but will not mention in this review. Happy to answer any messages though.

I got into a major car accident and was sent here by my attorney. So far best Chiropractor experience I've had. Doctor O. And Doctor Lee are so friendly and took very good care of me and answered all my questions. They have got me back to my almost 100% slowly but surely. They know exactly what to do to get you on the right track to feeling better. Front desk staff Laura, Lupe and Linda have been awesome and helped me out through this process. so grateful for them!
They all are definitely are an asset to the company! Thank you guys for your amazing dedicated hard work! Will miss coming here once I'm done. recommend this place to everyone, you will be happy you came here!

The front desk staff here is wonderful. They are very attentive and friendly. And the quality of care here is outstanding. The doctors (Dr. Kent, Dr. O, Dr. Peter and Dr. Daniel) truly care and answer all of my questions regarding my injury from a terrible car accident! Highly recommended.
