Taylor Chiropractic & Laser Center, Inc

THANK YOU DR. TAYLOR! This chiropractor is AMAZING! He truly cares for his patients. I like the fact that he researches new treatment techniques and he brings his advanced knowledge to his patients. Even other chiropractors come to him for treatment and advice. Another thing I like is the hydro bed. The warm water traveling from your spine to your feet is so relaxing. I was a bit skeptical about chiropractic because I heard some bad stories from a friend who heard it from his friend, but after a few sessions not only did my pain go away, I felt like I breath again. What a wonderful experience! Unfortunately, his office is too far for me to see him that often. But if your in the Torrance area I strongly recommend Dr. Derek.

Awesome Chiropractor… Very great with emotional and physical aspects of injuries… Unique approach to chiropractic care! Highly recommended! try him out!

I saw Dr. Taylor for an evaluation and was shocked with his prices. Thousands of dollars for a treatment program. Since I didn’t go back I can’t evaluate how helpful his treatment would be. Just want to warn people who aren’t rich or have good insurance that his fees could be prohibitive.

I have had major back and neck pain for years and so happy I found Dr. Taylor.
I have been getting regular adjustments for about 6 months and feel much better, so much better in fact that «I forgot» to go for six weeks and the only reason I went today was preventative. In late October, Dr. Taylor used a magic machine on my neck and I was pain free.100% for the first time in 10 years!!!

Dr. Taylor is one of the best doctors out there. He truly cares about his patients and wants them to get better. I am an aerialist and received a shoulder injury Thursday night. I called his office Friday afternoon fifteen mintues before they were closing somehow he squeezed me in. Dr. Taylor did a very thorough examination to figure out what was wrong with my shoulder. I am currently working with him to make my shoulder better. He uses his top of the line treatments for his patients. His staff is also very friendly and welcoming. I cannot thank him enough for helping me with my injury.

Dr. Taylor is much more than your ordinary doctor– he goes above and beyond and truly cares about all his clients. I have been a few times, but I already know he is a doctor that I will never let retire. He is a lifelong doctor who I plan to use frequently. He provides honest feedback and gives suggestions that will benefit you long term. You feel comforted in his office and he has a friendly staff. He strives for perfection and doesn’t give up. I am very grateful that I have found Dr. Taylor.

Excellent service and adjustments! see for yourself. Prices are reasonable, and they have friendly staff. Love the hydro therapy bed, and the laser treatment.

Great office! Dr. Taylor and his staff are very friendly and professional. Exceptional service. Adjustments are great! You leave this office pain free and relaxed. Give them a try. I will definitely refer my family to him.

I’m an action sports cameraman and Dr. Taylor has been putting me back together for years. I cannot say enough good about him. Great Chiropractor, good human being. He listens and won’t let you leave until he has you 100% back in alignment. For me at least that often includes much more than an adjustment. It can take massage, laser and basically the Chiro equivalent of the kitchen sink! Love that guy.

Dr. Taylor and his staff are kind and helpful. My neck and low back have been causing issues for years. I have seen him twice and I feel amazing. Tension in my back is gone, I can move my neck, I feel amazing. His approach is more than just an adjustment its total wellness including massage, foods that affect me, even certain thoughts! I feel great and learned a lot about myself and what I need for me in the process. Thank you!

Dr. Taylor is absolutely amazing! A friend recommended him to help me with some pain issues I was having and he took fantastic care of me!
He is very thorough and professional and takes time to listen to you. He worked within my budget and did everything he could to get me on the right track to recovery.
I cannot recommend him enough!!!

I came to see Dr. Taylor almost 3 years ago when I was suffering from a very painful knee and became worried that another doctor might suggest kneed surgery/​replacement. I am 71 and have had several friends get knee replacements with varying degrees of success. I sought him out as someone who used one of the techniques that had worked well for me when we lived in Pennsylvania. After the first treatment I was greatly improved and after 6 or so treatments I had forgotten that my knee hurt. Now I see Dr. Taylor monthly on a maintenance schedule that includes my whole body. The staff are very friendly and the services provided continue to keep me pain free. I would recommend Taylor Chiropractic to anyone in need.

Was having problems with back pain and Dr. Taylor was highly recommended by a friend. I am so glad I went in! His staff are friendly and professional and every time I leave his office I’m pain free. Would recommend to my closest family and friends.

I’m not sure why I had such a different experience from other reviewers here. Maybe it was just an off night for the doctor. On a superficial (albeit probably telling) note, I was surprised at how small the office was when I arrived.
The doctor immediately greeted me and was very friendly, and I inquired up front about insurance and expenses. He outlined his costs and told me that his receptionist is new and that over the phone she’d given me grossly incorrect information about my insurance coverage (without apology, however).
As I explained the very specific reason I was there (laser therapy on my ankle as recommended by my doctor), he insisted that he’d have to do his own lab work and other tests to get to the root of the problem. He was patient and listened to my medical history and symptoms, but didn’t seem convinced that the diagnosis made by my other doctor was wholly accurate. The real issue is that I wasn’t coming for a second diagnosis, I feel confident in my doctor and his treatment plan.
I also explained that I’ve seen another chiropractor for years, although she doesn’t offer the laser therapy I was seeking. He made a remark about her type of chiropractic practice, which struck me as unusual. I’ve never had a doctor put down another practitioner. He handed me his cell phone to watch three videos of patient success stories almost as soon as I arrived. It was also kind of unusual.
As I was leaving the office with instructions to send him over my medical history and think about how I’d like to proceed, he said he didn’t want to see me leave in pain, and suggested that I come back in for an adjustment. I’m not sure why I did… the possibility of feeling better I guess. He did some massage therapy, laser therapy, and an adjustment, as well as some other tests. I did feel some relief.
After the treatment, I asked a question about my symptoms and he suggested that I bring my mom in to hear the answer, who was waiting outside. He explained to us both that he could be my coach, would write about me as a success story in his book, and handed us a pen and sheet outlining his 36 appointment plan for me, with savings and payment options. Maybe it’s just his personality, but we both felt like it was an odd and pushy sales pitch from a doctor. After that, I was handed a bill for approximately $ 350 for my appointment. I was surprised because as he was working on me, he wasn’t asking if I wanted laser therapy next, etc. It was more like… instructing me to lay down and suddenly his receptionist was using laser therapy on my back, without explanation beforehand. And then I was charged for it. I didn’t dispute the bill because I was exhausted, hurting, and just wanted to be done with the office. I’m sure he helps a lot of people, and was a nice person, but there were way too many things that felt «off» to me.
**Update ³⁄₁₈: Dr. Taylor reached out to apologize and addressed everything that happened during my appointment so that it doesn’t happen to others. He’s refunded my payment, too. It doesn’t change my past experience, but certainly shows his integrity.

Dr. Taylor is a huge blessing! He listens to me when I tell him what’s going on with my body and I always feel great after an adjustment. I also benefit from the deep tissue work on the areas that need it. He is very knowledgeable on food allergies/​sensitivities, supplements and diet and nutrition. I HIGHLY recommend this Dr.

Dr. Taylor is the very BEST! I’ve struggled with some major health issues over the past 10 years, and have seen a plethora of doctors, but Dr. Taylor is by far the very best and is the only doctor (conventional or functional) who has gotten to the root of my health issues. I no longer have to take my medications, I’m pain-​free and feel a sense of calm and happy, and have more energy than I did 15 years ago. Dr. Taylor is always up to speed on the newest technology to safely and effectively treat his patients, and he only uses the highest quality supplements. His methods are amazing. And what’s ever more amazing is that Dr. Taylor is kind and takes the time to listen, and always here for me in any health emergency I’ve been in. I wholeheartedly only trust Dr. Taylor because I’m living the results and appreciate more than he’ll ever know what great lengths he has gone to in order to get me better. His staff is awesome too! So I’ll say it again, Dr. Taylor is the very best.

Dr. Taylor is a blessing. My husband and I found ourselves near his office last weekend. He was actually playing with his kids and NOT working until we approached him and explained I had a bad kink in my neck. He said «even though it’s my day off, let me see what we can do» 20 minutes later I found myself in his office being treated. He is great! He explained to me my pain was not originating in my neck, but in my trap, shoulder and even chest. After some fancy equipment that he pulled out and a GREAT adjustment, I felt a lot better. He followed up with an email to check up on me and reminded me to drink a lot of water. A great guy all around! If we lived closer to Torrance we would definitely be regulars here!
P.S — he seems very knowledgeable and diet and nutrition and carries some great supplements in his office.

I visited Taylor Chiropractic today for the first time and I could not have been more impressed. They are professional, affordable and effective. If you want to go to a chiropractor who genuinely cares about your health and gives you the time and attention you need to help you get healthy this is the place. Thank you Dr. Taylor and staff on a job well done!

I have been going to Taylor Chiropractic and Laser Center for many years. Dr Derek Taylor has really helped me in different aches that I’ve had especially my right knee. He really researches for new techniques that will help his patients. I’ve really appreciated all that he has done for me. He is really caring, has a pleasant staff and also has massage therapists that help with your areas that are sore. Another item I like is their hydro bed that you lay on with your clothes on and you get warm water that travels from your feet to your spine. It’s like shiatsu. You feel quite relaxed after going on it. I highly recommend Dr. Derek Taylor for your overall health.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Taylor Chiropractic if you are looking for really a REALLY good chiropractor! Actually I recommend them even if you don’t think you need chiropractic but just feel like directing some attention to your health and wellness. That is, if you would like to receive a very thorough and expert evaluation of where you currently stand with your health.
I had been to a chiropractor a few times in my life… starting back when I was 12 years old (I’m now in my 40’s) so I had an idea of what to expect. Thinking a good tuneup from a chiropractic adjustment would be good, I was in for a pleasant surprise when I met Derek Taylor. He offers a much more comprehensive assessment of your health than your average neighborhood chiropractor. I opted for the nutritional, hormonal, and general bloodwork analysis, as I hadn’t had a good checkup on that stuff in a long while. I was SO impressed with the thoroughness and insight Derek had in this area. He is seriously on his game! Without going into great detail, let me just say that you can trust that you are in good hands with Taylor Chiropractic if you are looking to get a nice overview of your current state of health. They have many other services which I haven’t take advantage of yet, such as massage therapy and various laser treatments, and I would expect those to be great as well, based on my experience here. The office is very nice and comfortable, and all of the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful as well. This place is a gem.
