Kirsten Mackey, DO

I called for an appointment because Kirsten sounds wonderful in all reviews. Unfortunately, the office doesn’t accept insurance and charges $ 450+ for an initial 1.5 hour consultation and $ 250+ thereafter for a 45 minute long appointment. A doctor for the general populous, she is not, so just a word of warning if you don’t make six figures. I gave a neutral rating, because she may be wonderful, but I’ll never know on a teacher’s salary.

Dr. Mackey is a very special practitioner. She is compassionate, intuitive, deeply versed in her field, and sharp as a whip. She earns your trust, meets you where you are, and works with you to heal as a whole, rather than piece by piece. After suffering with chronic health issues for years and seeing doctor after doctor, the first time I stepped into her office I cried — she understood what I was going through on a personal level, and felt confident she could see me through it. I have really never felt so seen or felt by a clinician before, or been treated with so much respect.
Dr. Mackey’s practice is an amazing blend of Eastern and Western philosophies — she has a firm grounding in allopathic medicine, but approaches from a holistic perspective. She also educates you as a patient about her philosophies, what she notices in your body, and how your systems may be working together (or not working together) to keep you sick. I cannot say enough about the structural manipulations. They are truly amazing. I had no idea what an impact my spine, my lymph system, and my cranium were having on my overall health. It’s incredible to learn that I do not need to live in pain — I can get to the root of the complaints in my body and address them.
Being introduced to osteopathy and to this extraordinary woman was such an amazing boon — I feel very lucky to have her on my team. I learn more and more about my body and what it needs every time I go. Take a chance on this branch of medicine and on this very special doctor. It is life-​changing!

I always preferred osteopathic treatment in Europe and was desperately looking for an osteopath out here in the LA area. I’m incredibly happy to have found Dr. Mackey. She not only targeted the immediate issue that I had but looked at my body as a whole, trying to look at the effects and helping my body realign itself again. Ever since I went she has helped me through the pain but also helped me learn more things about myself and my body. I truly appreciate her intuition and care. Definitely recommend her!

I’ve known Dr. Mackey since before her days as my general physician. She is one of those rare breed of practitioner that bridges the relevant traditions of the past with the viable present in order to encourage an expandable future.
You will find nothing short of comprehensive and compassionate care that seeks to get to the heart of the problem (s) as opposed to just fixing symptoms.
She has the willingness to use every means at her disposal, not just for your wellness, but to facilitate professional satisfaction.
Dr. Mackey’s work ethic is based on appreciation for the human condition, it’s because of this that she’ll always go above and beyond.
My deal: I have Episodic Cluster Headaches. Picture giving birth to a full grown rhino through your eye socket every seasonal change.
Unfortunately, it’s an orphan disease and is presently held in check with Sumatriptan.
First, the pretty lights. Onset: Quite unique, mesmerizing and beautiful auras. Second, the pain. As brutal as the onset is diaphanous.
I have a 15 min window to take the meds or I’m hosed. It’s a pain you experience once and you’re willing to do ANYTHING never to feel again (it’s the reason why they are also known as «Suicide Headaches»).
Long story short, my previous GP retired without notifying me and left me up a creek with no meds and no way to get them. On a Friday night at 10PM… I would’ve otherwise had to wait until Monday and wade through said creek. Painfully.
I called Dr. Mackey. She accepted me and treated me as a new patient, after 10PM. On a Friday.
Good luck finding a doctor that does that…
I only go to Kirsten Mackey or someone she refers me to.

Dr. Mackey is amazing! We visited for my daughter who twisted her ankle and after one visit, she could walk on her foot again. I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Mackey has a healing touch like no other I have ever received. She made me feel so comfortable and my body was able to relax completely while the treatment was given. She gives me so much hope if she is the future of our Dr.‘s!

Kirsten Mackey, DO is an incredible person. Not only does she take care of herself and her physical body, she is also extremely intuitive when it comes to mine. A true leader, leads by example, and Dr. Mackey is the prime example of a true healer. She is caring, intuitive, sensitive, and extremely knowledgeable. We want help we can trust and a person who sees us as energy, vibration and as healed. That is Dr. Mackey. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my beautiful temple.

Oh my goodness! I meant to say Kirsten Mackey Alleviated my pain! She’s amazing and I recommend her to every human that wants to feel more connected to their body and especially those of us that need a tune up. I heard she also specializes in baby and prenatal Osteopathy.

All i can say is thank you Dr. Mackey!
I had heard so many great things about Dr. Mackey’s healing hands and thought there is no way she could get to my pain let alone alleviate it! Well glad to say i was very wrong! She is genius at getting to those hard to reach places/​spaces, Her spirit and intuition as to what the body needs is quite beautiful! I am now able to move my head left to right and feel my hands! This is huge for me!

Took my 6 month to the doctor today. She was good, but I was wishing we were talking with Dr. M about everything important in my child’s life!

Dr Mackey’s approach to medical treatments is incredibly refreshing. She spends the time to ensure you are treated in the most holistic manner. I have seen her several times for a range of issues and always been incredibly pleased with how she responds to what is needed without turning directly to medication.
