Dr Magdy and his staff are a 10 out of 10. They are all so friendly and a joy to be around.. I have been a patient for years, and always leave feeling great.

What a wonderful luxury! I was blessed to be brought into these doors. Dr. G and Ashley provide great service every time and is just what the body needs every single time. I had the pleasure of being a patient for a few months and sadly had to end service when I relocated for work. However, I think about the service often as my body is back out of alignment

I’ve been seeing Dr. G since December after I was hit by a car while crossing the street. It’s been a rough road with my neck, back, and a pretty bad leg injury, but Dr. G has been incredible through the whole process.
What sets him apart is that he actually takes his time, he’s not one of those doctors who rushes you out in five minutes. He’s also been a huge help with all the complicated disability paperwork and documentation that comes with an accident like this. If you’re dealing with a mess of an injury and need a doctor who is actually on your side, I’d recommend Dr. G. He’s been a lifesaver for me.

Great experience with noticeable improvement in a few visits. My back pain is now more manageable, so I make sure I don’t miss any appointments.

My time with Dr. G has been nothing but positive. He guides you through the process of getting back to your optimal self in a realistic and grounded manner. Every session is well thought out and tailored to what is needed for your recovery. Dr. G and his team are some of the kindest people I have ever met. Through their hospitality and care, they ensure you feel comfortable and safe during what can be a difficult chapter in your life. The level of his work, expertise, and kindness are lost in today’s world and I feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon his work.

After my accident, my back was really bothering me and I honestly didn’t feel like myself. Dr. G helped me a lot through the recovery process, and little by little I started feeling normal again. Very caring, professional, and easy to talk to. Really appreciate all the help.

BEST chiropractic experience ever! Dr. Magdy and his team truly do things differently—in the best way possible. Their approach is slow, intentional, and deeply integrative, combining unique, unconventional massage techniques with precise adjustments that leave you feeling amazing every single time.
You can tell this is a family-owned business the moment you walk in—everyone is so kind, welcoming, and genuinely cares about your experience. It never feels rushed, and you always feel taken care of.
If you’re looking to not just feel better, but truly support your body and heal from the inside out, this is 100% the place to go. I can’t recommend them enough!

Dr. G. is hands down the BEST!
He knows a bendy yoga body like no other and really can help you readjust what's wrong. I recommend him and his team widely to everyone living and visiting Santa Monica. Wish I had found a chiropractor half as talented here in Europe, been way too long sans Dr. G.

I was in severe back pain and on my way to the emergency room. However, in so much pain, I could not move. I called Dr. G, desperately trying to get help and by searching on the internet. I left a message around 8:00pm and he called me back! He took the time to give me advice and said I could see him the nest day. I went for my first appointment and the treatments have put me back in the 'running' game. Dr. G is kind, shows empathy, is funny and so professional. He has been a gift for me and my well being.

I was referred to Dr. G by a friend of a friend. I went into Dr. G's office along with an mri, cat scan, and xray of my neck. I asked him (prior to any work or therapy) if he thought he could help me. It would have been easy for him to say yes, lets get going. Instead, he looked and me and said, sorry, I can't help you. Your condition is beyond what I can do to help you with chiropractic or acupuncture care. What he told me was far from what I wanted to hear. However, his staff's welcoming me was super warm and helpful. Dr. G's total honesty, empathy, and recommendations for moving forward were truly appreciated. His sincerity and love for what he does exudes from every fiber of his body.
