Valentine Chiropractic

Dr. Valentine!!! He is «the healer» after an accident I was in so much pain & discomfort (headaches). I loved coming in and getting put back together again. He is passionate about his work & extremely professional. Don’t understand all these whiners comments… something must be really «wrong» with them that an alignment can’t fix

My family has been going to Dr. Gregory since 1998. We have always loved and appreciated his good service and good care. I have had scoliosis issues with my back, and Dr. Gregory has helped me tremendously. I would be much worse if he had not given me regular adjustments. I have also taken my children for periodic adjustments since birth, and fortunately their backs have been fine. I really appreciate Dr. Gregory’s good care, and his staff is wonderful as well.

I too came in from a groupon, but I did not have a negative experience. The office staff was very nice when I arrived and got me settled into a room and filling out the required forms. Then Dr. V came in and we went through a bunch of different tests and I gave him my spinal background. He was able to pinpoint a lot of issues. He asked if I wanted X-​rays and I opted to get them since the last ones I had were almost two years ago and I wanted to see how my spine was doing and if it was getting worse. I got my spinal decompression which was awesome (I wish I could have one of those in my house) and then we went over a treatment plan before I left. Two days later I came in for my massage performed by Mayra which was so relaxing. I felt great.
I will say that I felt a HUGE salesman vibe from Dr. V which I didn’t like (I feel your quality of service should speak for itself) and I opted not to enter into his treatment plan because it’s not very flexible with time and I may not live in the area long enough to use it all. It’s a hefty up front cost and then you’re locked in.
If I had better insurance or unlimited income, I’d happily come here for treatment and adjustments, it’s just not in the budget.

Dr. Valentine is an excellent Chiropractor. He has done so much to help me get healthy again. He really cares about his patients and is a good family man. His wife even helps run the practice! If you are looking for someone that can really help you get better overall… this is the doctor for you.

I think it’s funny that only people complaining are the ones that buy groupon. Cheapos!!! In my experience, groupon users always seem entitled and typically complain dr v will fix you up !!!

Doc V is a great guy and an even better Doc. His adjustments have helped me significantly. He help me with recovery from a major craniotomy and hernia surgery and has worked around my bleeding disorder.
NEGATIVE COMMENTS!?!
As far as the negative comments made. Please! He treats the whole person and not just the back or doing adjustments. If a patient comes in and is talking to him about something, even if it’s politically incorrect, it’s because it is something that is upsetting or bothering the patient. That stress can be the cause of physical discomfort and the doc needs to know. Even tho that conversation maybe overheard it is a private issue between the doctor and patient. The doc is patient and understanding and compassionate non-​judgmental person. It’s not his place to reprimand his patients for the topics of conversation.
I go there to get treated for pain not to worry about what the doc is talking about! He manages my pain and has a great attitude. So does his staff.

Dr. Valentine is an amazing man who cares very much for each person that comes into his practice. He really helped me with all my back problems and better yet helped me to understand chiropractic. He also has a great bedside manner. Some of the reviews here that are talking about negative experiences are an anomaly and shouldn’t be taken into consideration. I have never once seen anyone have a bad experience with Dr. Valentine. I travel at least 45 minutes from South Orange County to come see him on a monthly basis. My wife and her family have seen him for 15 years… that says a lot.

I had also bought Groupon for the Chiropractic/​massage deal. Went there and filled out the paper work then waited outside for about 40 mins before the receptionist told me they were behind. That’s fine but would have been nice if I was told earlier. Once i finally went in I sat around in the room and waited for another 40 or so minutes. He probably checked my back for about 5 mins then that was it!
I was already a bit upset as it was a waste of my time. When i tried to make an appointment for the massage they didn’t have any openings. Luckily one of my friend couldn’t make their appt so i took their spot.
Went there after work for my massage appointment and waited for an hour. It was 7pm and I was pretty sick of all this waiting so i just left.

I went with a Groupon for a Chiropractic exam, adjustment, and then prescription for a massage to be had on a different day. I have not yet had the massage but my experience with Dr. Valentine was less than pleasant.
First of all, while waiting for him to get to me I heard him make sexual jokes with a few of his other patients. This made me very uncomfortable. Granted, I love a good «that’s what she said» and other jokes, but hearing a man whom I don’t know and is about to put his hands all over me make them in the next room was just disturbing and clearly unprofessional.
While he pinpointed some of my problems, overall he was just an uncomfortable person to be around. He asked me what I do, I told him that I’m a Bible student at Biola University and I plan to go into the pastoral ministry. I could tell that was distasteful to him, he couldn’t believe my husband would be okay with that. I don’t really want my chiropractic to express any opinion regarding my personal decisions that affect my spine health 0%
Overall, I am very happy that I will not have to be seen by him again. My massage will hopefully be wonderful, and will be performed by someone other than him.

I am unhappy with my experience here.
I had a Living Social deal for a consultation, adjustment and massage. Was able to get an appointment next day but when I went in, Dr. Valentine just told me I needed X-​rays and didn’t even address or examine the problem I came in requesting help with. He said I could get the X-​rays done there for $ 50 or I could go to my own doctor through my insurance.
In the past I have had chiropractic work done by a wonderful Doctor in Tucson and this was just a whole other experience…
Dr. Valentine just came off as a salesman to me and I left feeling very uncomfortable.

Dr. Valentine really shows he cares about his patients. When i went to a consultation with him, he did xrays and consequently recommended for me to come 3x a week, then 2x a week, then eventually get down to 1x a week. This is very expensive and I could not afford to come that often. I am a college student and he felt really bad for me and just wanted to help. He set up a VERY reasonable payment plan with me and made it possible for me to come 3x a week. His adjustments and advice really helped and after a couple weeks i could tell a difference. It made me feel really special and I am so grateful he did that for me. Thank you Dr. Valentine –Shannon P.

Waited in a room for Dr Valentine for about 45 minutes. I went as my husband wanted to start a Groupon deal of seven visits to ride a machine. Valentine examed both of us and saw wear and tear. I feel great and husband does not have problems but does slouch.
Husband got on the ten minute ride machine without an explanation of its purpose. He left us unattended as he went to work on some else. After the ten minutes, I got on machine waiting for dr. Never came. You would think that someone should be supervising us. I no longer wanted to wait so we walked out. Receptionist had no clue.
I do not plan to return as I saw no benefit on the first visit. Husband should get my portion back or get a total of 14 sessions. Husband is cheap that he hasn’t learned that it ain’t worth it.
