Gordon Kernes, DC

I took my 13 year old daughter to see Dr Kernes after three days of constant and acute back pain. She is a tennis player and she wasn’t able to play at all for close to a week. We went to see Gordon, and he immediately assessed the problem. He adjusted her, and it was almost funny how many parts if her body were out of alignment. He used a poster of the muscular and skeletal system to show her exactly what was going on to cause the pain. The adjustment was painless and quick and we left. Immediately following, Jane said it still hurt. I told her to give it a day. And as I expected, the very next day, Jane came running out of her room to tell me she had NO PAIN!!! At all. Nada. Her quote: «It’s a miracle!» It’s not a miracle. It’s sheer skill. He is a brilliant chiropractor, and we now have a standing monthly appointment for the whole family. Don’t go anywhere else. Dr Kernes is the master.

Having had serious neck/​back injuries as a child, I have seen chiropractors for the greater portion of my life and Dr. Kernes is the first one to actually help stabilize me to where I no longer am in constant pain and don’t have to see him but for tune ups!
I love that he incorporates stretches and muscle strengthening exercises in his treatments and gives clients simple exercises to do at home to help improve their condition. I started going to him three times a week and committed to doing my share of the physical therapy work two times a day. Then we cut back to once a week and eventually once a month. Within time, I could feel the benefits and was amazed at how the pain I once grew used to, disappeared!
Dr. Kernes is an incredibly generous, kind hearted person who loves helping people feel better so they can enjoy life more fully. I cannot thank him enough for how he has improved the quality of my life and for his constant care and consideration.

Gordon Kernes is both an expert chiropractor with a background in top level athletics /​training. He came highly recommended from friends and didn’t disappoint. A very personal and in depth service and he was able to be flexible to fit me in. I felt very confident in his knowledge and ability.

I’ve been seeing chiropractors for 25 years to help me manage chronic neck and upper back pain. I first saw Gordon 10 years ago and I’ve seen only him since. Not only has he helped me to feel better, but he’s taught me maintenance techniques that have been life changing. If you want to feel better and stay that way, make him your first choice.

Wow, is he amazing! Turns out I was a whole inch shorter on the right side of my body than the left. He adjusted me, right then and there and I’m all equal on both sides now. It was so great to be in a true professionals hands. I felt trusting and comfortable during the entire process and left feeling lighter and taller. Great for someone like me who’s ⁵⁄₂. lol.
I knew after I saw all the Unilocal reviews that I couldn’t accept help from any other. So glad I didn’t settle for a insurance covered practitioner. Worth every penny and I know I’m in the most effective hands possible. Thanks again Dr. Kernes! Eternally grateful!
Will be back!!!

I was referred to Doctor Kernes by a patient of his. I had terrible numbing pain in my right arm down into my my thumb and index finger. Everyone said it would go away but it wouldn’t. I saw a acupuncturist in Chinatown, a Chiropractor in Little Tokyo, massages in the Korean Spa even a spine specialist in San Gabriel valley that had fancy equipment and was more of used car salesman selling spine repair for thousands of dollars. Nothing seemed to work. My friend said you have to see Dr. Gordon and so I did. He is the nicest person and the most gentle in terms of dealing with your pain and extremely knowledgeable about the human body.
Needless to say after several treatments I am cured! I now do monthly adjustments and my body is back to normal. I have sent other friends there who were considering back surgery and Dr. Gordon work wonders. I highly recommend him — I really don’t want to because he is the best kept secret around. Trust me on this he is a special person and I have seen numerous DC’s over my life span and he is by far the best!

Dr Kernes is just amazing. He truly has an innate sense of the human body, is very knowledgeable and is a very nice man. I am an ex dancer and an avid exerciser, mainly CrossFit. I go to Dr. Kernes twice a month just to keep everything aligned and functional which helps prevent injury. I leave his office feeling freakin’ great. He also works on my 13 year son. My son enjoys his monthly visit and feels so strong and connected after his visit. My son loves «how calm» it is in his office. I’ve been to many chiropractors in my life but Dr Kernes is the best. He’s a keeper!

Nothing but good things to say about Dr. Kernes. Hes wonderful at what he does and has a way of explaining whats going on that actually makes sense. Hes very personable and you can tell he genuinely cares about making his patients feel as comfortable as possible. Very accomodating with scheduling. First doctors office I have been to where I don’t have to wait an excessive amount of time to be seen, he never runs late and is very considerate when it comes to getting people in on time. The location is great and there is always parking available .
I will continue to recommend him to others as he has helped me out a ton. Hands down the best Chiropractor I have ever seen over the years.

Dr. Kernes knows what he’s doing. No non-​sense. No wasted BS with him. Just straight up adjustment that works. I’m not a small guy so its good to have Dr. Kernes who’s built like Hercules be able to move me around like nobody’s business.

What a great experience. Nice guy, VERY knowledgable… Just a great experience all the way around. I am a big guy and have a hard time w/​chiro’s, Dr Kernes is the best around…
Highly recommend.

Dr Kernes dramatically increased mobility in my neck as well as getting rid of chronic migraine headaches that I have had for 25 years! I had been to 4 other chiropractors and the headache institute, and received no relief. I tried inhalers, pills, injections, subcutaneous injections, and biofeedback, yet Dr Kernes was able to provide me with relief within 3 weeks! I never got results with any other chiropractor. He is honest and affordable. Thank you Dr Kernes!

I am a competitive bodybuilder and fitness trainer. I’ve suffered fro m chronic neck, shoulder and back problems. Gordon Kernes is the only chiropractor that gives me cop eye relief and keeps me functional as I age. I don’t know what I I would do without him. He’s the Best Chiropractor in Los Angeles!

I cannot emphasize the impact Dr Kernes has had on my mobility and the improvement of my day to day life. His amazing understanding of the body and unobtrusive approach is key to him not just getting short term results, but getting to the root of the problem.
He is truly top of his field and I would recommend Dr Kernes to anyone.

Started seeing Dr Kernes in November of last year after moving from Silicon Valley. I researched chiropractors locally, went and saw three I had narrowed it down to, and decided within 2 minutes of meeting Dr Kernes he was the guy I would trust my body with. Simply after having seen over 2 dozen Chiropractors around the nation considered to be the best in the country, I would rate Dr Kernes as the very best I have seen. Why ?.. well firstly he knew how to take me out of pain and keep me out of it. His knowledge and ability to communicate that knowledge is second to none. He uses the techniques that will work for you, rather than sticking to a rigid methodology. His athletic background at the highest level also helps him diagnose in a way I have never experienced. Simply put he is the best back doctor I have ever met.

Dr. Kernes is amazing! I had been to at least a dozen chiropractors acupuncturist, physical therapists before finding Dr Kernes. I was in so much pain every day; I could barely turn my neck right and left to look over my shoulders. I had migraines several times and month and headaches almost every day! After working with Dr. Kernes he was able to correct my neck alignment and strengthen the muscles in my neck and back; my migraines went away! He is beyond knowledgeable about the human skeleton as well as diet and exercise. He is also one of the nicest guys you will ever meet! I can’t say enough good things about him. He has helped me tremendously, not only with skeletal alignment through adjustments, but has also helped me get in shape with exercise and diet tips.

I’ve been to roughly 5 Chiropractors in my life and have learned that it’s not just about cracking bones. Some Dr.‘s adjust every bone in your body, then there was one that kept me waiting for an hour and after a 4 minute adjustment I was out the door. What keeps me going back to Dr. Kernes is his passion about the uniqueness and intricacies of the human body. He genuinely wants to know what’s going on with me so he can help me get (and feel) better. He doesn’t keep me waiting and while adjusting he checks all my pre-​existing problem areas and asks if there is anything more that needs attention. His professional approach to his clients is matched by his personal relationships he builds. As I grow older and my body changes I feel good that he will be there to keep by bones strong and aligned… one less thing to worry about — Thanks Dr. Kernes and congrats on your 2^nd baby :-)

I was referred to Dr Kernes when nothing was helping my back pain after an auto accident. Within a few visits and some exercises that he gave me, I was almost pain free. I have continued to see him now for the last 9 years for adjustments or any ache and pain I have, including migraines. I have referred him constantly to friends who all wind up saying the same thing about him… which is he is an amazing doctor and he just seems to be able to fix whatever is ailing you. I cannot say enough about his chiropractic care except if you don’t believe in chiropractors, you should go see Dr. Kernes and you will. I know so many people now who have been helped by his services. He is a really nice guy too, salt of the Earth!

I have to give Dr. Kernes top billing. I’ve had an excellent experience. The other reviews are accurate and I’ve little to add to except that my neck and back have not felt this aligned (and pain free) in years.

I had always thought of Chiropractors as more scam artist than healer, but was refered to Dr. Kernes through my trainer, who said it would be different with Dr. Kernes, I reluctantly gave it a shot. The difference here was that it’s not just about popping and cracking. Dr. Kernes gives you an entire exercise regimine that rebuilds muscle around the bones that he has put back in place. The thinking is that if you do not repair the tissue and build the muscle, then the bones are just going to slide out of place again. After a month, I couldn’t believe the difference, I could sleep on my side again and no longer had neck pain, something I had been living with for awhile (and only in my 30’s!). Not only is he a fabulous doctor, but he’s a wonderful, warm person who really cares about you. I highly recommend him!

My husband has known Dr. Kernes for about 20 years. He has a vast knowledge of the human body and his experience as an athlete helps to enhance it. After each visit, I can again move with ease. He is a warm and caring doctor, one whom I trust my well-​being to. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
