Easy to get to. Location is key. Near the 405 & 10 freeways I use. Parking is free at Marshalls. Dr. Karr gives allot for the first visit for $50. I told him I wanted t come in as needed.

Lucky to have found this place!!!  5 Star Rating - World class

By S P.

Another doctor sent me here, which made me feel good that Dr. Karr is networked in his community. I checked around and found that Dr. Karr, by far was the best priced and newest and fully equipped office.

I was examed with detail and had a review of my MRI done. All questions were answered. After my first treatment, I sat with the manager and all costs were explained to me. They take INSURANCE. SCORE!!!

This is a large a new office and a dig staff. Dr. Karr is well educated and I felt very comfortable with the office. I like that he even suggested I get a post-MRI when done with care to compare the changes.

Do your home work. I get the feeling that this is a very competitive area of health care just from talking other office and the doctor that referred me here. I felt I heard a bunch of marketing blah blah blah from some other offices.

In the end, I an very happy. I feel better and I really like Dr. Karr and his staff.

Open Saturdays. Score!!! doesn't do allot of marketing so his prices reflect that. SCORE!!!! Is busy and that means something. SCORE!!!

I will refer to him if even the opportunity presents itself.

EXCELLENT OFFICE. Dr. KARR is COOL  5 Star Rating - World class

By Sherryl P.

Really fair and professional. Easy location with Saturday hours. Heard about him from a friend. I feel better bottom line. They took my insurance and it saved me money. Other office's I checked with didn't touch insurance and wanted to give me a super bill after I paid in full and let me deal with insurance. NOT.

BEST CHIROPRACTOR  5 Star Rating - World class

By Jennifer M.

Honest and relaxing office. Modern and fully equipped. Dr. Karr wouldn't treat me till he took an X-Ray, which I really appreciated and made me feel more comfortable under his care. I argued with him at first to just adjust me, but after I left the office I realized how he didn't care if he lost me as a patient because he knew what was best for me and didn't want to do something wrong just because I was making a fuss. Looking back, that was really professional of him.

Since his treatment I am feeling much better. I switched doctors because I didn't feel I was getting anywhere with my other doctor and in a short time, Dr. Karr has already done more for me.

He's busy and everyone (including his patients) are upbeat. I hear patient's constantly telling his staff that they referred someone. That's a really good sign if you ask me.

Spinal Decompression WORKS  5 Star Rating - World class

By Cathy E.

Skeptical. Definitely, but what was the alternative? Dr. Karr had no hidden costs. He takes insurance and applies it towards to total cost. $3490 was my cost and he even went over the agreed number of treatments. WHY pay more for others expensive advertising?I had a good experience!

Top notch chiropractor  5 Star Rating - World class

By Debra H.

I have been to many chiropractors, and Dr. Karr is the best thus far. His bedside manner is very pleasing yet professional, and his adjustments are effective yet gentle. I used to be scared of going to get my neck adjusted, but Dr. Karr was able to calm my jitterness and bring relief to my aches and pains. My mother and sister are now also patients! I would recommend this office to anyone who needs professional and efficeint care.
Thank you Dr. Karr!

Best Chiropractor!  5 Star Rating - World class

Just read what the others wrote! It's all true. Dr. Karr really is a good adjustor. I've been to several and after moving it was hard to find someone who knew how to really adjust and was comfortable! Stop looking, Dr. Karr is the real deal. Excellent office!

Dr. Karr is a wonderful Chiropractor  5 Star Rating - World class

By Amanda P.

I have been going to Dr. Karr for several years, and even bring my little children in to see him. He has been able to relieve my back, neck and arm pain in a relatively short amount of time. His technique is gentle yet effective. My kids are happy to go get his adjustments. I would recommend him highly to anyone living in the West L.A., or willing to commute to have the best chiropractic care available. It also helps that his staff and office are run in a way that is friendly and family oriented, yet efficient. Dr. Karr is the Best!

WOW SERVICE AND PROFESSIONALISM  5 Star Rating - World class

By Diana C.

I had seen several doctors none of which were able to help me feel better. After contacting Dr Karr's office they immediately got me in. He took the time to listen to how I was feeling and what was bothering me. Him and his staff were wonderful and within a few visits I couldnt believe how much better I was feeling. I will never go anywhere else. He is very professional and knows what he is doing. His office even accepted my insurance which hardly anyone else did.

Dr. Karr is a great Chiropractor  5 Star Rating - World class

By Ben G.

I was having severe neck pain from a car accident. I went to see Dr. Karr and was handled with care and excellent treatment. His office helped me find an attorney and place my case on a lien. I'm very athletic and wanted someone who knew what they were doing. Dr. Karr does. He worked with the UCLA track and football for two years.
Thank You

BEST chiropractor! We've beed to many.  5 Star Rating - World class

By Dolly M.

I went in after find Dr. Karr on the internet. I was upset and in tremendous pain. My neck and arm were in constant stabbing pain.
Dr. Karr examed me, took x-rays, and then did some treatment. I returned the next day and he did a report for me on my condition. No one has ever done that for me! He calmed me down and assured me that he could help. I was worried that this wouldn't go away. By the end of the week I was 35% better and by the 3rd week that pain was nearly gone. I got more then I expected. I'm so happy to know that I have this new relationship with Dr. Karr. It's like discovering a terrific restuarant, you tell everyone about it and bring them there. That's how I feel.
Thank you Dr. Karr

I agree with the others. Dr. Karr is # 1 in LA without a doubt!  5 Star Rating - World class

By Scott F.

I did the MD & PT thing with Meds for 4 weeks with no relief at all. BTW-I hate taking Meds. I was told about Dr. Karr at the beginning, but went to my friends dad who was an MD instead. What a waste of time and money. I got nothing. I was PT'ed to death day after day. No explained to me the problem. I finally went to Dr. Karr and he did a thorough exam and reviewed my x-rays from the other office. His staff told me to bring them with me on the first visit. He explained what was going on and what he would do to correct it. I had severe neck pain and radiating pain down both arms. (Tingling and Numbness usually.) I was really nervous about this. After the fist week of care I kid you not, "I felt at least 30% better." It took nearly 8 weeks for me to feel almost 90% better. My neck is slightly sore and that's it. It was a terrific experience. I will never go to anyone else if I hurt myself again ever! My insurance covered it. I promise that you'll leave his office getting what you expected a doctors office would provide you as a patient. He even called me the first night after I went to him to check on me. I am writing this review because I feel people should know that there are really good doctors out there and Dr. Karr is one of those who's heart is into it.

PROS: Very clear in explaining my problem to me. Relaxing treatment. Great staff.
CONS: Zero

Don't think of Anyone else  5 Star Rating - World class

By Phil D.

I went to so many other doctors. No one mentioned a Chiropractor to me. Until I meant Dr. Karr I feel I've wasted my time and money and had to deal with pain for years. I'M SO HAPPY WITH DR. KARR! He did want he said he would do. The adjustments took care of the pain. It's safe and painless. I'm off medication and feel terrific.

I urge everyone to take charge of there own health care and see Dr. Karr if you're not getting results within a month. Dr. Karr has worked with UCLA Track/Football. He's currently working with the NBA. What does that tell you....

PROS: Very Effective, Saturday Hours, Plenty of Parking, Thorough Tx
CONS:

I Voted #1 Chiropractic Office I've ever been to.  5 Star Rating - World class

By Cindy S.

I've been to several office over my life time and none compare to Dr. Karr's. The office is not stressed out or on my case about calling me constantly. Dr. Karr is a gifted adjustor. His adjustments are not wimpy or painful. He truly has a talent I've never experience elsewhere. I feel better then any other chiropractor has ever made me feel, No Lie. He's a UCLA alumni as I am, which is excellent. He works with the NBA and did work with the famous UCLA track and football teams for several years. He's knows his sports treatment. They have Saturday hours and offer massage 3x each week. All a plus.
I've sent my mother to him and my boyfriend. I really do trust him. He does what he says he'll do.

It's cool seeing all the celebraties coming and going also from his office. Thanks Dr. Karr

PROS: Excellent adjustments. Saturday Hours. Accepted my Ins. 100%. Free parking

An excellent adjustor  5 Star Rating - World class

By Chris D.

I been to 3 chiropractos in the past two years and got some relief, but never had the lower back pain completely dealt with. A friend told me several times to try Dr. Karr. I wasn't into trying another chiropractor at this point. At least a year went bye defore I ended up at Dr. Karr's office. Woow. What a diference in office's. Very clean and soothing. My pain is gone. His treatment was exactly what I was wanting the whole time. He was very focused with his adjustments. The first day I knew this is what I was looking for. Geees, I ended up waiting so long and wasting time with other Chiropractors.
I strongly recommend Dr. Karr. He's at the top of his game.

PROS: Staff did everything for me. Parking was easy. Saturday hours.
CONS: None

Voted #1 in LA. Works with NBA / UCLA. Excellent Office  5 Star Rating - World class

By Rob S.

The staff made things so easy. I went in on a Saturday due to an Auto Accident. They put it on a lien. Did a thorough exam with x-rays. The following visit Dr. Karr sat down with me a did a report of what's going on and explained everything in detail to me. The treatment was terrific. I started feeling better immediately. My other doctor only gave me Meds and nothing else. That was a waste. Dr. Karr was very professional and did for me what I came in for. I feel much better. I've brought in my family since then to be examined by him. I trust him and I know he cares.

Pros:

PROS: Free parking, Saturday hours, Bilingual office, new office, offers massage
CONS:

Rated #1 in LA Definately. Best adjustments ever.  5 Star Rating - World class

By Marlene A.

His staff was friendly and very helpful. They took care of all the insurance billing. After the exam, he talk to me about what he found, showed me my X-Rays and I got to ask him questions about them, then told me his treatment plan. After the third (3) week I was atleast 70% better. No headaches, neck pain and most of the radiating are pain was gone. This was my first experience with chiropractic care after having no success for years with all the drugs and PT. I strongly recommend Dr. Karr. He's a terrific communicator and I never felt rushed.

PROS: Beautiful Office. Gentle Adjustments. Very reasonable fees. Saturday Hours
CONS: None

As a pilot out Santa Monica airport I know. I have back pain from time to time. I deal with it till it hurt too much. As I get older I notice the pain keeping me from what I like to do. I found Dr. Karr from a friend actually who had seen him. He's a straight shooter. Knows his stuff and doesn't waste your time.

I didn't have Insurance, but he was reasonable.

Pros: Location, price, staff

Dr. Karr knows his thing. His office is set up with the newest equipment and flows well. He treats serious cases and knows back pain. I've refered some well known athelets to him and they have all been happy. I trust this office. Dr. Karr also networks with other professionals if it is needed. I actually meet him by my family Internist.

My experience is a good one.
