Sommer Whaite, DC

This review is long-​overdue but beyond well-​deserved! Dr. Sommer is a stellar chiropractor and a wonderful person. She began treating me last June when I threw my back out in a kickboxing class. I had been to other chiropractors in the past, but after the first few minutes speaking with Sommer, I knew she would be different. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable and immediately makes you feel right at ease.
To make a long story short, Sommer not only treated the herniated disk in my lower back, but totally revolutionized how I view my health and wellness. She really treats the whole body and is super in the know about naturopathic remedies, as well. After a few months of treatment with Sommer, I can confidently say I felt better than ever.
It’s so rare to find a doctor who not only treats the problem at hand, but takes the time to listen to her patients, get to know them and recommend ways to optimize their overall health. I feel so grateful to have had Sommer as my doctor and can’t recommend her more highly. If you have been considering chiropractic and aren’t sure it’s for you, do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Sommer. You will not regret it!

Dr. Whaite is incredibly talented. I’ve been to many chiropractors over the years and she is by far the most knowledgeable and caring I’ve ever met. She goes above and beyond the traditional adjustment to create a routine that truly mends your issues vs a quick fix. Depending on the state of my body and level of pain her treatments would use some combination of an adjustment, heat, stim, UV, light massage, athletic tape… whatever it took to get the job done and get me out of there pain free.
She also educates you in the process so you not only understand what she is doing to heal you, but also what you can do better to «hold» the adjustment in place over time and prevent future injuries and ailments. I first saw Dr. Whaite after a sever lower back injury and with consistent treatments, that issue has been wiped away and we were able to move on to begin to treat other areas that were feeling stressed.
The only downside i can list is that she no longer lives in Los Angeles. But those of you in Florida are so lucky… go see Dr. Whaite ASAP! You will leave feeling like a new person.

I first went to Dr. Sommer Whaite at the urging of my friends. I have had migraines for at least 15 years, but recently they starting becoming more and more frequent (2x week), and just thought this was normal for me. I was pretty skeptical as to how chiropractic work could help, but I was blown away when she pressed on 2 separate spots on my neck that exactly mimicked my migraine pain (forehead and behind eyes). She schooled me on what are called «trigger points» and after 1 month, I was down to 1 migraine in 30 days. I can’t tell you how life changing this experience has been. To finally have some answers and someone who could help me fix it is truly unbelievable. I was so sad when she moved to Florida, but I know she will be able to help her new patients like she helped me!

Dr. Whaite is absolutely amazing! I came to her because I was having hip and shoulder pain (turns out sitting with my legs crossed and clicking for 8 hours finally took it’s toll on my body) but with her treatments I no longer have the constant pain. Not only does she adjust you but she gives you the tools to avoid your body to falling back into it’s bad habits such as: foam rolling, stretching, and finding things that are triggering the pain. She’s the only doctor I look forward to going to and I’m so glad to have been treated by her!

I am very grateful to have been treated by Sommer/​Dr. Whaite. I was also a first-​timer in the chiropractic world and have received nothing but knowledge, comfort, and positive treatment… not to mention a fantastic, genuine energy you don’t find often!
She keeps my spirits high and my body as healthy as possible. I cannot recommend her enough. :)

This review is long overdue on being posted but definitely needs to be put out into the universe. Sommer Whaite is not only an amazing person, but also exponentially talented at what she does.
She takes the time to get to know her patient and cares more than any other doctor I have ever encountered. She truly has your best interest in mind.
She isn’t the kind of chiropractor where you’re in and out in 5 minutes feeling like you aren’t even sure if you were there, let alone if the doctor even did anything. Instead she asks questions, analyzes your body and the main concerns, and develops a treatment plan specific to your body and your needs to ensure that she is taking the best approach to treat you.
In addition to adjustments, she also utilizes stem therapy with heat, ultrasound therapy, and trigger point massage. She also teaches you how to do stretches at home that will help enhance your treatment outside of the doctor’s office.
Basically if you are experiencing headaches, migraines, back pain, neck pain, whiplash, tension, etc.; She is fantastic and will help you feel like yourself again. I recommend her in the highest regard.

This review is long overdue, I’ve been seeing Dr. Sommer for roughly a year and a half. When I first saw her I had never been to a chiropractor before and imagined that a chiro just realigns your spine and cracks you back into place… This is definitely not the case with Sommer, she takes her time with you to figure out the best treatment and to get you back on your feet while educating you on your problem.
With a larger chest size and poor posture I had chronic upper back pain as well as sharp pains through my mid back, after seeing her just several times through ultrasound, her stem machine, stretching me out and re-​alignments my back felt better and I could stand at work without any pain. As my back felt better she suggested I purchase a mini stem machine as well as a foam roller to use at home. Sommer also taught me different stretches in order to stretch my peck muscles out. Needless to say my back was normal and I had never felt better, these treatments also alleviated my migraines and I was sleeping better.
I stopped seeing Sommer for almost a year since my back pain completely disappeared. After not taking care of myself and not using my mini stem machine I had a ‘back relapse.’ I also kept catching myself sleeping with my hands above my head which caused pain in my shoulders. I immediately scheduled an appointment with Sommer and after a couple treatments my back is as good as new. She also suggested a pillow that has helped me sleep better than I could even imagine. I really can’t recommend Sommer enough, the amount of time she has spent with me along with how much she actually cares will make me a patient of hers for life.

Sommer Whaite is not only one of the coolest, raddest, neatest, most amazing person around (i could continue on with the adjectives… but i have another point to my review…)…she is also one of the most talented. Dr Whaite cares about her patients more than I have ever seen a person care about anything. Her main goal is your health and your well-​being. She has helped me so much after a car accident I was in. now i feel back to normal. You do have to follow her instructions though! If you don’t, she’ll know.
I have been to many chiropractors in my day… and Sommer is completely different than any experience i have had. She takes the time to understand your problem and your body. She isn’t just going to crack you a million times and then you be on your way in 5 min. Expect an actual session and an actual caring Doctor.

I have been to my fair share of doctors and have never felt as satisfied with my treatment as I have after seeing Dr. Whaite. Her skills as a chiropractor are top-​notch. I consider her a magician as I would walk in with pain and leave feeling amazing. Usually it only takes a couple visits, sometimes just one, from my experience to get rid of neck and back pain. She is always prompt with appointment times and you can’t beat her bedside manner, it’s hard to come by these days especially in a big city like LA where most doctors treat you like another number. I can’t say enough great things!

For the last 2 years of my 30 yr. old life and body, I’ve been living and facing the constant threat of temporary loss of mobility in both my lower back as well as neck. Caused by sports accidents and corporate america (computers are a blessing and curse). I’ve been to numerous chiropractors in LA, each that would, for lack of a better description, crack me and send me on my way. This was the temporary solution.
During my first visit with Dr. Whaite she made it clear that this was not a one time session /​solution. She’s taken the time to educate me on what’s happened with my back and neck, why I’m having the issues I’m having and then provided me a solution. Turns out the other chiropractors who were just adjusting me, weren’t taking the time to properly diagnose, because if they did, they would have discovered the two herniated discs in my lower back. Dr. Whaite genuinely cares about the well being and health of her patients. I’m now getting back to my active self and not living in fear of throwing my back or neck out on a daily basis. I understand my body and know what it needs in order to stay nimble and healthy. This, all thanks to Dr. Whaite.

Dr. Whaite is the only doctor I’ve ever been excited to see.
I’ve been regularly going to see her now for about half a year. Every appointment leaves me feeling like I can breathe again, so relaxed and satisfied.
Not only is she very knowledgeable (in all aspects of health and healing), but she’s hyper aware of one of the most important parts of recovery – knowing that every case is unique and tailoring each appointment to a patient’s needs, not only in general, but in relation to how they’ve just spent their past few days/​weeks.
She’s also incredibly kind, inquisitive, and professional.
AND! She’s willing to teach techniques for prevention! This seems to be something many doctors won’t take the time to do. But Dr. Whaite was happy to share the reasons why certain things kept getting out of whack and how I could prevent them.
Seriously, if you live in LA, a city with so much potential, why would you ever see a doctor that doesn’t rock your whole world?
Also, it should be mentioned that Dr. Whaite recently moved offices, and the new location is beautiful! They now offer massage and stretching appointments too, which (if your insurance covers chiropractic appointments) you can get on the same rate as your normal co-​pay. A massage from someone who has your chart and your history and knows all the spots you need worked out most? Heaven!

Dr Whaite is seriously the best D.C. I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. Her offices are super clean and organized which I love. The receptionist was absolutely awesome in helping me to get scheduled and getting me paperwork. I did not have to wait AT ALL to see Dr. Whaite. She was super prompt. She talked me through the cause of my injury and how my every day activities might be affecting it. She even took a look at my daily supplements and gave me advice on those. To say she went above and beyond is a total understatement. I absolutely LOVE going to see her!

Words cannot describe how amazing Dr. Sommer Whaite is. I have been to many chiropractors over the years and she is by far the BEST! She really tries to help you get to the source of your pain and does everything in her power to help you get better. She has gone out of her way so many times to help me — truly above and beyond ANY doctor that I have ever seen. She is a wonderful person and if it were possible, I would make an appointment to see here everyday. If you are struggling with any kind of back or neck pain, you must give her a try. You will not be disappointed. I can honestly say that I have the most amazing doctor and have also made a wonderful friend.

I will start this review by commenting how amazing it is to come across someone who is passionate and truly loves their work and profession. Dr. Whaite fits this description.
I recently had a car accident that jolted my lower back out of wack. The pain was intense and had begun shooting down my leg. I decided it was time to see a Dr. I stumbled upon Dr. Whaite through my insurance list and then through Unilocal reviews. I am thrilled that I did! The pain that was shooting down my leg is now gone and the back pain is almost completely gone only after a few sessions.
I noticed the extreme pride she takes knowing she is helping to cure my aliments. Not only is this Dr. knowledgeable and experienced, her demeanor is a pleasure. She makes the experience enjoyable and fun. I wish other Doctors would have the same bed side manner.
I never thought I would enjoy seeking any treatment but am scheduled for today and am looking forward to going. I cannot recommend Dr. Whatie enough. If you want a great Dr. in a welcoming environment than she is the one for you.

There are really no words to describe how I feel about Sommer!
Not only is she a beautiful soul she is an incredibly talented Doctor!
Unlike anyone I have ever meet in the medical profession she really cares about her patients!
I have suffered from server shoulder, back and neck problems my whole life.
Since seeing Sommer I am so much better, brighter and happier!
I used to have terrible period pain and horrid allergies and they have completely gone now too!
I love you Sommer and am so grateful for you in my life, I am so blessed to have found you!
Seeing this lady will seriously change your life…

Dr. Sommer Whaite is exactly what I have been looking for in a Chiropractor — this is no typical Chiropractor appointment — not JUST an adjustment, she uses several different techniques including E-​STEM + Ultrasound and then will go into the adjustment process. I sincerely look forward to my weekly visits with Dr. Whaite!!! She is the best of the best (and also the sweetest human!). And another huge perk is that she will work on the weekends, and is so so accommodating to our busy schedules.
Thank you for all that you do, and I will see you next week!!!

So you are here looking for a chiropractor, right?
Well save yourself the effort of going anywhere else after checking out this lady doctor, because she is, hands (and every other appendage) down, absolutely the BEST in her field and this comes from someone who has been to physical therapy and chiropractors all my life for various ailments…
and I have never given ANY doctor a «5 Star» rating… until now.
Here’s the spiel. I had a slip and fall back in April, I herniated 2 discs from the fall and after sifting through a ton of different doctors while in excruciating pain (because the one I was attending was out of town and didn’t have a full service office, I decided on Dr. Whaite. After the initial consultation which made me feel like I’d finally found one of the ONLY doctors left in the USA with actual authentic care and bed-​side manner, I asked her to take my case which she did. This time I’ve spent with her has been instrumental in getting my strength back– and I really didn’t think I would this time around.
Dr. Whaite’s sharp awareness of not just one, but multiple areas where she has an expertise: nutrition, emotional connectivity (mind body healing) and chiropractic care of course, have all been part and parcel of my healing plan she created.
I was initially told I would have to have cortisone shots, and since working with Dr. Whaite, not one have I had thank god.
Hailing from an entire family of doctors in various fields is something that isn’t generally seen as often as it used to be. Dr. Whaite has this background and is truly wise beyond her years and highly educated. And although anyone will benefit from her services I strongly encourage woman to come see her, even if for a simple adjustment. Her prices for LA are incredibly fair and worth your time to try out.
All aspects of physical therapy like TENS units, ultra sound, heat and ice and other important healing devices are available at her office as well.
Be Well in mind, body, & spirit,
~ER

Dr. Whaite has literally changed my life. I am on my feet all day at work and have old/​new things happening with my body that needed/​need to be taken care of and she has fixed me up. I feel like a new person. She not only does your basic adjustments but targets every single point SPECIFIC to your body by ultrasound, hands on, and mechanical technology to improve your overall well being. A million thanks. Go. See. Her!

I went to Dr. Sommer Whaite for my very first chiropractic experience and it was nothing short of amazing. Since I was a newbie to this kind of treatment I was a little nervous but she made me feel 100% comfortable and was so thorough going over every little detail with me it totally put my mind at ease! She told me exactly what needed working out AND why and even stretches I can do on my own to help the healing process. 5 stars for her knowledge, affordability, professionalism, and comfort! Oh, and parking was pretty easy too!
Thanks Dr. Sommer! :)

Dr. Sommer Whaite is absolutely AMAZING. It’s so hard to find doctors who take the time and go the extra mile to make sure you are feeling 100%, but Dr. Whaite is the crème de le crème when it comes to chiropractic needs.
On my first visit, she started by just talking to me about my past history of pain, trouble spots, work environment and other outlying issues that could contribute to my back problems.
Her examination was thorough and so relaxing. You can’t beat the «cozy burrito» she wraps you in, the chill music or welcoming environment she creates for her patients. Dr. Whaite is very easy to talk to and it’s always a bummer when the session is over because she’s so cool! The upside is you leave her office feeling AMAZING!
I have been to chiropractors in the past that will advise an unnecessary amount of sessions to be «cured», but Dr. Whaite is very honest and won’t try to schedule appts you don’t need.
She doesn’t try to sell you things, or refer you to other doctors who charge exorbitant amounts of money for other services either. She is a down-​to-​earth, wonderful doctor to be treated by.
Aside from my chiropractic needs, she was kind enough to write down recommendations of specific teas that would help with other stress issues I have.
Dr. Whaite will never force you to do anything you are uncomfortable with, she will answer all your questions, quell any fears you have and really just make you feel as if you are hanging out with a trusted friend.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! I feel extremely lucky to have found Dr. Whaite and have her in my network of doctors.
YOU ARE MISSING OUT IF YOU GO ELSEWHERE. Dr. Whaite is the BEST!
