Dr. Patel is quite wonderful, an amazing chiropractor. I’ve been seeing him for a few years now and I will not go anywhere else for my chiropractic needs.

Dr. Patel is one-of-a-kind. He’s so amazing at what he does, and he’s always learning new things to provide even better care. Unlike many chiropractors that I’ve been to, he’s incredibly compassionate, and always listens to all of my concerns. Definitely a diamond-in-the-rough. I’ve been going to him for years and years, and I will continue for many more years to come!
September 2, 2021Rachel B.Verified patient
Have been seeing Dr Patel for several years now. Would not consider changing to another doctor even when I changed insurance companies and they didn't cover his services. Dr Patel is the best Chiropractor I've ever been to see. Highly recommend him.

October 31, 2020Chris P.Verified patient
Dr Patel is amazing and has helped me and my back and hip issues like no other chiropractor. His practice is wonderful and they have other amazing treatments and classes too
More than 1 year agoCerise H.Verified patient
Dr. Rudy Patel is one of the best Chiropractors that I've ever visited. He takes his time to get to know his patients & clearly explains the treatment that he is recommending. His front-office person is a lovely lady who knows how to make people comfortable when coming into the clinic and is always willing to explain the paperwork in a way that is understandable to a non-medical person. First met Dr. Patel about 2 years ago when I was first half carried/rolled into his office because I was in so much pain that I couldn't walk - he worked miracles on my body & wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

This is the best chiropractic practice I have ever visited, and it’s such pleasure every single time! They are always so nice when greeting you, and there is very little wait time. Unlike other chiropractors I’ve visited, they take their time with you and really cater to what your body needs. Your first visit is comprehensive—where they really try to figure out what you need and how to treat you. They also start each visit with heating pads to warm you up before your adjustment. Dr. Rutambhar is absolutely wonderful. He begins with some deep tissue massage and then does your adjustment. Honestly the best chiropractor and overall practice I’ve ever visited!

Dr Patel seems very knowledgeable, and will walk you through great explanations of the chiropractic field. All in a very polite and courteous manner.
Now, he charges twice what a good Beverly Hills doctor charges (your co-pay will be high), maxes out the number of sessions he "recommends" for you, and spend less than 5 minutes with you per session, being busy with other patients.
At the end of the day, your back still hurts, as he did not do much besides explaining you need to see him 3 times a week for the next 2 months.
September 11, 2017Jeremie B.Verified patient
Dr. Rudy is the best!!! He was an absolute godsend following my car accident, and I knew I'd be in great hands after my very first visit to his office.
More than 1 year agoKelly C.Verified patient
Dr Patel was thoughtful about his approach and spent time to learn about why I was in his office. He offer a diagnosis and solution to help my pain. I am due to go back the very next day.

Rudy is the man, and so is Edward. My back's pretty messed up, but after only three visits, I can feel it improving. I've been to a few chiropractors, and Rudy's the best.

Dr. Patel is amazing!!! Highly recommend! He warmed my back with a weighted heating pad and then did some pressure massage before my adjustment. I've never felt better after an adjustment! I needed this so much. I slept like a baby for the first time in months!
February 16, 2017Jessica F.Verified patient
I found my new chiropractor! It only took two years... Dr. Patel is amazing. I walked out of the office after a thorough examination and treatment, and actually able to move my neck and head after several days of pain over the weekend. Having seen several chiropractors over the years, I have had a range of experience. I'm so glad I found Dr. Patel.
More than 1 year agoMackenzie W.Verified patient
Rudy Patel is very approachable-he listens well and is friendly & straightforward. He works with ease and knows what he's doing. I've visited him a few times and I've always had the pain relief I so needed! Staff is nice and the whole place has a relaxed atmosphere. Always parking available.
