Dumetz Chiropractic

I have been going to Dumetz Chiropractic for over a year. Ever since I moved to Los Angeles from Chicago. I had a great chiropractor in Chicago, and I was sad to leave my chitown Chiropractor behind. It took me a while but I was so lucky to find Dr. Thomas. I am a service connected veteran, I was a Civil Engineer apprentice and Land Surveyor for the USAF, during my second deployment I hurt my lower back while setting up new FOBs in Afghanistan. When I was discharged from the military I knew my back was never going to be the same. I have low back degenerative disk disease, with disk herniation in my L4-​L5-​S1 region, I also have bilateral radiculopathy, and fibromyalgia. Dr. Thomas and his staff help me with my chronic pain. The massages I get are part of my pain management therapy for my fibromyalgia and Dr. Thomas is able to put my thoracolumbar spine back in its place. I know I have a chronic disability, but Dr. Thomas and his staff have and will continue to help me push through my pain and suffering. I am grateful to have found this place. I will recommend this practice to anyone who suffers from a Chronic back condition or muscle aches.

Dr Thomas is sooo helpful! He finally helped me get out of pain!
My lower back was bothering me for a long time and he finally helped get it better.
His staff is also great.
Grateful to have found Dumetz Chiropractic– a good resource when you’re in pain.

Dr. Thomas and his staff of masseuses are amazing! I was originally referred by a friend after a car accident I had a couple years ago and have continued coming back since. His practice is designed to help you feel better and not to take your money.
Whenever I need an adjustment, I always call Dr. Thomas & he will usually squeeze me in same day. He will ask what the problem is, assess, have one of his staff members massage the problem area then he will adjust. Best part is that his staff know how to massage you without leaving you sore.
Very fast, relaxing & everyone in the office is friendly. Highly recommended even if you are not from the area & he’s open on Saturdays.

I love Dr. Thomas! He’s a no BS «let’s fix the problem» kind of guy. I’m usually in and out in 30 minutes or less. The prices are extremely reasonable and you walk out wondering why you didn’t go sooner. I’ve been other places for acupuncture and acupressure… No, you need a good Chiropractor and Dr. Thomas is the guy!

Dr. Thomas is a miracle worker. I’m serious. My father has been coming to Dumetz chiro as long as I’ve been alive! He suffers from chronic low back issues and thankfully, Dr. Thomas is only a phone call away. He has helped my father, mother, aunt and myself. All with different issues throughput the years and he always work his magic. I’ve made the huge mistake of going to another chiro (dr was was gone for a short time but thankfully back) and WOW never again! It is so scary that other providers will actually make you feel worse, just to get you to come back in! Or they have an attorney sitting in their offices waiting to pounce and make you a paycheck. Not here! Here, you will be treated pleasantly, first name basis and most importantly, you will feel better!!! Easy scheduling! Last but not least, Barbara has magic hands and gives amazing therapeutic massages! I’m a slight chicken with adjustments but Dr. Thomas knows what he’s doing! Highly recommend.

I first have to thank everyone here, who are always so friendly and welcoming. I originally was referred to Dr. Thomas for a shoulder injury and since have gone in for many adjustments and other issues that have come up. I always feel better after a visit! Although, it’s better to make an appointment, they have always been very accommodating to my schedule. Many times I just walked in and was promptly greeted and shown to a room. I would definitely recommend anyone local to stop by and try it out for themselves. Thanks!

ATTN PEOPLE READING BAD REVIEWS FROM 2013!
I’m a cusomer whom visited Dr. Thomas in Spring of 2012 and I could not stand straight when I walked into his office. I was FULLY hunched over. After my first visit I was standing straight and after the 3^rd I was perfect!
I just saw him today, my second visit for a new, less intense problem. The staff was great, he was great and everything was great. I, like you, was concerned about the reviews from 2013 and thought the office may have lost what it had. He had a problem then with some employees and he has fully resolved it. Lucky for me, I never had to deal with the B.S. from 2013. This is a great office that makes you feel so much better and Dr. Thomas has very fair prices!
I would recommend this office to everyone!

My husband went to Dr Thomas when he hurt his back last year. He loved him. My sister came into town from New York and wanted to try him out bc my husband told her about him and she loved him. She is extremely picky and hard to please. Trust me! So my neck started to hurt one day I was extremely nervous (never been to a chiropractor) and told Dr. Thomas I was a chicken. I didn’t like hearing my neck sound like a crinkling door so I came to him. He was very gentle and explained everything to me. I went to him a few times.
Now Just recently, I got hit while stopped at an exit ramp waiting for the light to turn green. The guy plowed right into me. No hesitation, I went to Dr. Thomas. They fit me in that day. The staff has been super helpful and friendly. Not fun being hit. First the Dr comes in to discuss what happened and listened to where I was hurting. Then you get a massage to relax. After the Dr comes back in to adjust you. I would recommend him to anyone that was asking me for a caring, respectful and gentle chiropractor who gets the job done right.
So glad I found him.

I have been a patient for several years, Dumitz just lost me as a customer. I will never return due to the very rude comments made to a friend I had call to make an appointment for me. My friend is somewhat hard of hearing, and Rosa, the person that answers the phone was so impatient and «over the top rude» to my friend. So much so that I will never go back. We all have many choices, Rude Rosa sent me packing.

Poor customer service at the front desk! They wouldn’t even speak to me regarding treatment/​therapy and I was a client in the past!!! Their loss…

This place was heaven on earth until Dr. Thomas decided he is going on vacation. He plans to replace himself temporarily with another chiropractor. Since then, I have gone in 2 times and I will not return after my experience today.
The first time I went in with the new chiro, she was really nice and adjusted me well but when I left, the front desk became very, very pushy alongside the new chiro in booking a tentative appointment. I explained that my schedule changes a lot and I would rather call the day of or before to make an appointment rather than having to schedule at that moment. The second time I came in, they told me to pay my co pay prior to adjustment as well as book another appointment — the minute I walked in the door.
Today, the receptionist called my house to tell me that I haven’t been in the office for a week and I need to get in there to book something. First of all, you’re calling my house and telling me I need to book something without asking me if I even need an adjustment nor the reason why I haven’t been in. I have had tattoo work done to my back and I cannot have any pressure or anything applied to my back until it heals. The receptionist had an attitude with me as if I did something wrong. A sales call and pushing appointments on me is not for me. For these reasons, I will not return to this office — it’s too bad because I really liked Dr. Thomas.

I have been walking or should say hobbling around with a sore hip for about a week until I finally faced my fear of the bone doctor!!! I wasn’t sure who to go to so I googled one in my area. and found this gem of a doctor… I read the reviews and they had me sold after reading the first two… someone likened him to Jesus that has to be a good thing! I called and made an appointment for this morning… the doctor took great care of my hip I feel so much better now… I highly recommend him to anyone who is afraid of the Chiropractor. Is he Jesus… God only knows… but I can run again… is it a miracle… you decided! Thanks doc. Rachel Charles.

Dr. Thomas is a modern day healer. I have know him professionally for 17 years and seen him on and off during that time depending on my needs.
I initially started going to Dr. Thomas when I was 16 after a car accident left me with migraine headaches and neck pain, which he soon alleviated. After my positive experience I recommended him to both my father and my great-​aunt. He treated the swelling and stiffness in my father’s ankle from a former break. What was miraculous was his healing of my great-​aunt, who was then in her 70’s with nothing positive to say about doctors and only complaints about a knee that prevented her from walking very far. Even my grumpy, stubborn aunt had endless compliments about Dr.Thomas. She is not an easy woman to please, especially when she is in pain.
Dr. Thomas’ prices are very reasonable and scheduling is convenient. He usually brings me in right away for my session and I have never waited over 10 minutes. He recently added two massage therapists who are fabulous additions.
Over the years Dr. Thomas has treated friends and co-​workers and has made our lives more comfortable to live. Car accidents and injuries can leave permanent damage that is inflamed by the stress and excessive sitting in many people’s lives. He has given me extra comfort and ease when my neck problems near debilitating me.
Dr. Thomas is a neighborhood gem.

Economical, effective and friendly. This no pressure chiropractic office treats you without making you feel like you need tons of appointments to feel better. They are very accommodating and made a 3 year injury feel so mucy better with just a few treatments. Barbara released so much tension with her deep tissue massage and Dr. Thomas adjustments are the perfect touch. I HIGHly recommend!

Went again today, had Barbara do my massage before the adjustment. She does wonderful deep tissue massage. I cannot say enough how happy i am to find such a nice staff and Dr, with more than reasonable pricing!

Thanks Unilocaled! You were right he’s great! I love him. I came in for my stubborn lower back right side lifetime pain and now I can’t believe how amazing I feel. I think it’s gone I still can’t believe how great I feel. No pressure he takes my insurance I got a targeted massage and a targeted adjustment on my lower back. Amazing no more pain.

Dr. Thomas helped relieve my hip pain with gentle massage and adjustment after just 4 visits. I had been going to an over-​priced and over-​hyped chiropractor in Westlake Village for over 10 years, but when the Westlake doctor became overly possessive of his clients even within his practice, I elected to try out a doctor in my neighborhood. Dr. Thomas is terrific and doesn’t try to prolong the visits past the normal healing process. I highly recomment Dr. Thomas!

Dr. Thomas healed my sprained hand — the hand has been in pain since October 2010. I was going to a different acu/​chiro for 2 months before I discovered Dumetz Chiropractic — and after a month of treatment, no more pain! Yay :))))

Dr. Thomas is a saint… Actually that’s an understatement. It’s like Jesus Christ resurrected, went to college and became a chiropractor, and then changed his name to Dr. Thomas… Yeah, that’s more like it.
I hurt my back a little more than a week ago. As days past, my back started to hurt more and more. Hell, I could hardly even walk. So, this past Thursday, I called my insurance and had them refer me to a chiropractor around the area where I work so I could go right after. They gave me two referrals that was the closes. The first chiropractor I called, he said he closed at 6:00PM and couldn’t wait around. I get off work at 6:00pm. So therefore, I tried the second referral, which was Dr. Thomas of Dumetz Chiropractic. I told him I wouldn’t get off work until 6PM, he said he closes at 6PM but would wait around for me. «Don’t worry about it. Take your time, I’ll be here», was his exact words.
This was my first visit to Dr.Thomas. I walked in his office, in pain and could hardly even move. 40 minutes later, I left with no more pain and had full range of my legs, no more limping! I went back just last night for my follow up. The pain was gone but I still felt stiffness on my lower back. But after he was done readjusting me, I was 100%. I felt incredible! Honestly, I am surprised on how much he helped me with only a few visits.
Dr.Thomas is a saint! I’ve been to chiropractors in the past but I have never had the type of quality treatment until I was treated by Dr.Thomas. Dr. Thomas even told me, he treats people so well that it’s bad for business because he never sees them again. hahaha. He is so nice and full of humor, you will just love the guy.
I HIGHLY recommend for everyone to visit Dr. Thomas if you have any problems. Hell, even if you don’t, just to get an adjustment. We all neglect to get maintenance until a problem occurs… This is why I plan on visiting Dr. Thomas at least once a month. Take advantage of your insurance. Just pay your copay, whatever it is. Mine was $ 10. So $ 10 a visit is nothing. This is why we have insurance!
So like I said, pay him a visit and you can see for yourself why I’m raving about Dr.Thomas. You can thank me later.

Gotta go there, a MUST!!!
Usually go there once a week, cuz I always find a way to hurt myself.
Don’t hurt yourself intentionally to go there but if you do need a REAL Chiro then get your butt in your car and drive there!!!
