Holmes Chiropractic

The staff here is kind-​hearted. They care about the patient and do their best! It’s your back, you decide.

Dr. Holmes is very knowledgable and takes his time to address all of your concerns and needs. I had a hip pain that had been going on for years that he fixed almost immediately and is treating my upper back for a squished disc and I’ve seen huge improvement. Wait times are a little long so make sure you eat something before you come in, but know that the wait is well worth it. He will make others wait for you, too. He is also very knowledgable on nutrition and has helped me get my blood sugars under control (type 1 diabetic). Staff is awesome too– extremely friendly! :) Best chiropractor in Los Angeles

I have to admit before visiting the practice, I read some of the reviews, and I felt
I may have made a mistake, However to the contrary I found Dr. Holmes to be very efficient at his trade. I am very satisfied with the treatment I’m receiving, well above my expectations.
Dr. Holmes is very knowledgeable, and gives his 100% to every case to find the best remedy
needed.
The whole staff is awesome, and deserves the highest recommendations.

Dr. Holmes is definitely a rare find. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and beyond, it’s unbelievable. He takes his time with each of his patients. He listens, offers great care, insight, advice if it’s wanted. His great personality and sense of humor goes a long way, especially if your not feeling well or in pain. He tailers your treatment (s) to fit your needs as they change. Dr. Holmes combines his personal techniques along with old school and the latest in technology to improve your quality of life, whether you have a minor ailment or a chronic problem.
Yes, there is a wait as other reviewers have mentioned but sometimes its minimal and other times it’s not, that’s probably one of the reasons he’s added another doctor to his practice. Dr. Woodward is also skilled, friendly and a great assest to the office.
The office personnel and therapists are well trained, friendly, full of pizzazz and accommodating.
Give Holmes Chiropractic a try and you will to see what a difference it can make in your life.
I am grateful for the difference it has made in my life after sustaining injuries.

I totally love the staff and the Dr! It’s so welcoming. I am feeling great after being treated here. I’ve been coming to Dr. Holmes for 2 months and I also see Dr.Woodward. I don’t know why he doesn’t have more 5 star reviews. I would totally recommend this place.

I first came to doctor Holmes from a sport injury that kept me from walking. I experienced intense pain but within a week or 2 of treatment all my pain was gone and within a month I was walking. It felt like a miracle. Dr Holmes is also very well educated in nutrition and I love that he uses natural supplements. I no longer have a primary doctor, he is the only doctor I will see.

My husband called made an appt to see Dr. Holmes because of a recommendation. We waited almost 3 hours with our 1 yr old and while the staff was nice-Dr.Holmes WAS NOT EVEN THERE!!! They had another doctor see him and he didn’t even tell him what was wrong, but strongly suggested he start «treatments”-how can you start treatments when you don’t know what the problem is!!! Drove way too far and waited far too long for nothing.

This Chiropractor is just a joke…
He wanted to see me everyday and each visit was approximately 2 – 2.5 hour long!!!
Most of the time you wait for him because he is busy with other patients.
He didn’t do proper notes on my treatments.
First, he told me that he will elevate my heel 5 mm using heel support pad in 2 weeks however he forgot to do it. When I reminded him about heel elevation, he said he we will do it next week. Saying «next week will be exactly 2 weeks mark.» Total BS next week would be 3 weeks from starting therapy.
Also, he forgot to give me corrective exercises for my back. Again, I had to remind him about these exercises. He didn’t even apologize.
This office was total waste of time and money.
Go see Healthwise Chiropractic. Dr. Annie Issagholyan is the best!!!

Dr Holmes has been in practice for 30 years. He is one of the smartest guys I know! He is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients. He is the best!

Dr Holmes is probably the best chiropractor I’ve known… but I don’t really know that many. I like him, because his approach is holistic and he is extremely knowledgeable. He knows what he’s doing…
BUT… if you don’t have an insurance… WATCH OUT for how many X-​rays are taken — you may end up with a bill around $ 600.00 for just a visit or two.
The staff… whoever is responsible for billing … they SHOULD INFORM YOU and GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE BEFORE you undergo whatever…
Oh well…
Other than that, again, Dr. Holmes is the BEST!

I go in hurt and sore and can’t move my neck and I leave with full mobility. Nuff said.

This place… Lied to me to get more money. Requested visits every single day, requested extensive X-​rays, which i was refused to have for myself and the reasons why changed from one to another, all boiling down to the fact that i should pay extra for copies. Waste of money, waste of time. Go here if you want to fooled into paying for useless treatment. I went somewhere else, after 3 visits i was much better, where opposed to going to Holmes, i actually got worse.
I mean, why do i need my blood pressure checked when my back hurts? Why go there to «therapy» and do everything myself, when i can pay much less for a gym membership. it doesnt add up.

I’m givibg Holms C hiropractic a ⁴⁄₅ stars because I’ve only just started with them, but I hope to upgrade my rating soon to a ⁵⁄₅. They’re on their way.
I have suffered from chronic TMJ tightness and soarness for I think it’s about 14 years. I have seen other c hiropractors, physical therapist (1 after another) healers, massage, reiki, meditation, energy healing, all kinds of modalities and the problem has not lessened or been solved.
In only a couple of weeks of being a patient of Dr. Bruce Holmes I hve been feeling a lot better. In fact, way better. The problem has not yet been solved, but my level of discomfort has been greatly reduced.
What I like about Dr. Holmes, besides being incredibly well read, and highly educated, is he’s thorough! He took a complete history, but he was more interested in getting to work than in filling out paperwork.
Dr. Holmes has a very healing touch and he reminds me of a 1940s film nuar character I used to watch in reruns as a boy.
My only real complaint is that the practice sometimes runs very late and appointments can be up to an hour and a half. Though I have to admit that the past week or so they have had me in and out in about half n hour.
I really recommend Holmes Chiropractic for your health and wellness needs.

My Favorite Chiropractor of All Time! i could Not write this review sooner because i had forgot all about how great this Doctor was and how has always helped me with my previous back injury!

WARNING! Do not go here!
They sucker you in that they have the best technology/​machines!
I at first gave them a chance, but due to my car accident/​whiplash and many other issues I was impaired of my own instincts. When you place your hands of a ‘specialist’ and yet over and over you explain your symptoms that it has not improved Dr. Holmes thinks that he hasn’t diagnosed you correctly so he does another ‘experiment’. Long story short, machines doesn’t not help! I’m an athlete and he doesn’t understand our pain tolerance threshold and understanding our bodies capabilities are much more active and higher than the average person! I have past experiences in other physical therapists, etc sports therapy and this place is a joke!
My symptoms have not improved after 6 months! In fact, he made it worst! He’s there to soak up your insurance policy money and now my attorney is dealing with their ‘BS’!!!
You are treated like a herd! The average wait is 2−3hrs even if you have an appointment. I’ve seen others and myself walk out because they try to book everyone in!
I’ve had positive reviews in the beginning, but I was clouded due to my injuries. Please, please do not go here!
As for the staff, there were nice but because it’s their job they have to do what their told. They way they run their practices/​business practice is very unprofessional. I would receive calls and letters from them when they should be directed all info to my attorney and also, they way the bill the insurance is messed up too!
I would take away that one star if I could!

Dr Holmes is extremely intelligent and knowlegeable. I trust the man with my life. If he can’t fix something he knows who can. The only issue you’ll have with him is that you’ll wait … and wait … and wait … and — well, let’s just say that a 3+ hour visit is not unusual. Bring a book, laptop, or something to do.

The only positive thing I have to say about my experience is the staff is pleasant. That being said, I have never been to a chiropractor who charged such outrageous sums for so little! He insisted on x-​rays for big bucks. Time on different machines again for big bucks. You wait forever to see him and then he performs a ridiculous «treatment» on you for even BIGGER BUCKS. He wants you to come many times a week for a long time. You spend several hours of your day there… for what? He didn’t make me feel any better. To fill his pockets with money. It is all a scam as far as I’m concerned. Saw him 4 times… he charged my insurance company WAY over $ 2000.00 for which they paid about $ 1700.00. Then he had the nerve to charge me an additional $ 300.00+ for what they didn’t pay. Should have stayed with my past chiropractor who fixed me with 2 visits, no fancy machines, and reasonable prices and all without insurance. It was a very expensive and painful lesson.
I will NEVER recommend him to anyone!

My fiancé went to Dr. Holmes after he threw out his back so severely that he couldn’t stand up, sit, or really do anything but lie down. Dr. Holmes took x-​rays and told him to come back every other day for over a month. He saw the doctor maybe two or three times after the initial consult, but was using the exercise/​rehab equipment at each appointment. After over a month, he was only slightly better, and the bills were HUGE! It felt very much like Dr. Holmes was just wasting his time on the equipment to rack up our bill.
We’ve since found another chiropractor in Studio City, Dr. Rudenko, who was able to fix my fiancé in only TWO appointments. No exercise/​rehab equipment necessary, just good old-​fashioned attention from a doctor. We’ve been back several times when my fiancé has gotten re-​injured. We highly recommend Dr. Rudenko, but warn everyone we know away from Dr. Holmes.

I am currently waiting for Dr. Holmes.
The staff is wonderful. All of them are very kind and quick about getting you treatment.
The exercises (for me) take 36 minutes. I do three machines.
So far I have been here for two hrs. Still waiting for Dr. Holmes. Bring a good book or magazine. Take a nap. Check your emails. Make sure you eat something before you come. Text your friends. Review them on Unilocal…
In all honesty, Dr. Holmes is great once he sees you but be prepared to wait.
He is patient and takes his time with each person. Just know that your day off is going to drain away while you wait.

ive been going to dr holmes now for over 2 years
first off i wanna say —
that i dont really disagree with anything that angel and marissa said
i just wanted to share a diff viewpoint
yeah
you are gonna wait for him
he hasnt gotten that quite figured out yet
but if youre serious about getting healthy and staying healthy
hes worth the wait
as an avid snowboarder and martial artist
i have torn almost everything in body
and he has been able to put me back together again but better
these are the main things that separate him from other chiropractors
1) he has a MD degree but turned away from being a doctor
because of the atrocities and general non-​knowledge being performed in todays hospitals
2) every morning he does daily research into new and old methods of treatment
not just chiropractic but obscure and well as standard practices
3) he actually asks you EVERYTIME he sees you
how your body is doing
(as opposed to just doing the same thing over and over again every visit
like several less experienced chiros do)
so my adjustments are different everytime
depending on my healing process (or breaking process =:-p)
as for not adjusting you without getting xrays
i think thats just being responsible dont you?
i mean i wont even LET a new chiro touch my neck
until ive seen him/​her for 3 months
and are satisfied they know what theyre doing
believe me — i learned that the hard way
after letting a new guy touch my neck
and having a headache for a week after he over rotated it
and yeah it is like cocoon — mostly old people
think about it tho — who has the time during a weekday to wait —
the retirees!
i hate the wait too
thats why he only gets 4 stars
but as for knowledge and technique and absolute COMPLETE care
you cant go wrong with this guy
oh btw
once a year he tries to give back
and for new patients doesnt charge for xrays
ive sent a bunch of new people to him at those times
and other than the wait — they love seeing him
UPDATE:
ok its now the end of 2015 and i STILL go to dr holmes
i will not say publicly how old i am
but lets just say that typically when you hear someone my age
LEARNING (not maintaining) their flips cartwheels and handstands
you would think them insane
my handstands and cartwheels with the help of great coaches and dr holmes
now are better than when i tried them at 10 years old
and i had never ever been able to flip — ever
until now
dr holmes has helped me to increase my athletic performance
mainly in the areas of control and new skill acquisition
pls note — he sometimes has other chiros in there
but i pretty much stick with dr holmes since im totally special needs
so i cant really speak about the other doctors there
