Iwamoto Gary & Montanari Alfred, DC

I absolutely LOVE this entire practice! I have had some uncomfortable neck and back issues over the years and they have been awesome in their care. Every time I go in I get electrical stimulation, a massage and an adjustment. It amazes me that they spend so much time with each patient.

I have been a patient of Dr. Iwamoto’s for 30 years. Through time and my adventures with different sporting activities, he has treated me for a variety of injuries such as shoulder (volleyball), back (golf) and leg (marathon running). He has and will continue to be my «go to» physician for athletic care. Dr. Iwamoto is knowledgeable and explains treatment in layperson terms that enhances my preventive care for the future. I have also been overseen during my appointments by Jessica, who is an excellent Massage Therapist and has prepared me for my marathon races. Highly recommended!

Gary is the best of the best.

These guys are awesome! Professional, and very informative. Not only did I get treated for my back, but I enjoyed always being able to speak with them even when it wasn’t related to my injuries. I highly recommend them, and always wish them great success!

I had a great experience here with Iwamoto

Very thorough and competent. Since my appointment was a a time when I was in severe pain, he could only do so much until I healed a bit more. The treatment I received at that time was very good.
They don’t overbook appointments here. They don’t hustle you in and hustle you out. You’ll leave knowing you got your money’s worth.

Dr. Gary was referred to me by my chiropractor in San Diego that I had been seeing. I told her I was moving and asked if she knew anyone in the West LA area. Dr. Gary was an old classmate of hers.
I was so pleasantly surprised to find out he is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and effective. He runs on time, his office always has visitor parking spots, and I always feel better after treatment. His approach is more therapeutic (adjustment, massage, stem) rather than just crack you and get out.
I survived pregnancy, recovering from pregnancy, and all sorts of stress flareups with his treatment. It was usually so comprehensive I could go a few months between treatments. I definitely recommend him!

I went to Dr. Gary after receiving rave reviews from several coworkers. He has a convenient location in Santa Monica in a nice spacious office building with ample visitor parking. Every time I receive treatment for my back, I’m greeted promptly by a friendly (and beautiful) receptionist, a wonderful masseuse, and other doctors who know me by name. I’m able to schedule appointments fast, and never wait in the lobby for more than 2 – 3 minutes upon arrival. Dr. Gary is a fun-​loving, wickedly witty guy, who gently explains treatments, and looks forward to your better health. I’ve been to other chiropractors who wanted me to sign up for long-​term treatments without addressing the root of my back injury. I’ve gotten much better within a month or so of seeing Dr. Gary and his staff. Each time I receive a massage, get some STEM machine treatment, in addition to his gentle and welcome adjustments. Additionally, he gives me exercises to strengthen my core muscles, and remembers the nuisances of my weekly activities in order to help support my healing. We also have some great conversations – I feel like he really listens to me and take an interest! Excellent doctor! I highly recommend!
