Olympic Chiropractic

Horrible experience. Doctor made me incredibly uncomfortable from the start, called me uneducated, then basically refused to treat me unless I signed on for a long-​term treatment plan. This was all before he even looked at my back or spine. Thankfully someone else took me at the last minute as this would have been a huge waste of leaving work. Office is also on some dinky run down corner.

Dr. Glenn Fischel is a highly skilled chiropractor. His adjustments are precise, effective and consistent. My neck feels immediately better after I see him every time. Shelley the office manager is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the services of Olympic Chiropractic.

Good, professional, helpful and there’s a great massage therapist, too. Extremely convenient, too.

Both Drs are amazing and the massage therapist are ALL wonderful. Skilled and professional chiropractors and massage therapist. Highly recommend them all.

Dr. Fischel is by far the most amazing chiropractor out there. I am a dentist, and li

I’ve been to chiropractors before who focused on what my particular need was. Dr. Fischel seemed to want to treat what he wanted to treat. It was very generic and there seemed to be little thought into what he was doing or to individual needs (on the other had, the other doctor in the office listened more and was pretty okay). Very matter of fact. He seemed angry that i didn’t want to attend a ‘class’ at night at his office with other patients to learn about what he does. His ego seemed through the roof and after a few visits I left realizing I was getting no relief, wasting my time and absolutely hating being in his office and resenting his negative holier-​than-​thou attitude. i went elsewhere and healed.

I have been going to Dr. Fishell for years. He has helped me tremendously. He is a listener. He hears what you need and then it’s fixed. I probably would not be here if it were not for Dr. Fishell. He’s the best chiropractor I know. He will set you straight. :)

Dr. Fischel’s work provided immediate relief to moderate neck pain due to a minor car accident. This was my first time ever to a chiropractor and the results were wonderful.
Shelly was very kind and patient through the payment process (I had forgotten to get a referral from my physician before visiting Olympic Chiropractic).
Highly recommended!

It’s all smoke and mirrors here — be warned I tried Dr Fichel’s services for about two months (9 visits) and didnt feel any better and in fact started to feel even worse back ache and pain. Fichel and his receptionist were quick to sign me up for a long term plan that would have been very costly — so thankful I was able to get out of dodge and recoup some of my wasted money (but not all). Tread lightly if you visit this office as your wallet will ache about as much as your back pain.

I have been a patient at Olympic Chiropractic for 7 years. Going for regular treatment serves as a prevention against the pains and problems so many people mistake for normal. In high school, 30 years ago I underwent successful chiropractic rehabilitation for a sports injury. Later I worked with physicians including chiropractors, osteopaths, and orthopedic surgeons. Most people believe you should seek treatment only when something is wrong, after an injury, or when there’s a problem that just won’t go away. That is not what health is about.
If you want to feel better, chiropractic treatment is like exercise, something to do regularly in order to keep the body working properly.

I went in today to see Dr. Tebbe for an initial visit. The staff was nice, doctor was nice, but at the end of the day I never received treatment.
The doctor talked to me in the beginning about my goals and my injury, he did a few tests and evaluations and told me to return in a few days to talk about the evaluation. I asked about getting treated and he stated that he would need time to review the evaluation. UMM, so you’re telling me I spent an hour and a half of my time in your office, most of the which was spent waiting for you, and I’m not going to receive ANY treatment? I understand if you don’t want to do an adjustment, but at the VERY LEAST, he could have shown me some stretches to do meanwhile!
Also, I told the staff from the get-​go that I would not like x-​rays. At one point, he stated, «OK now I would like to take a picture of your neck.» I knew to clarify if he was referring to an x-​ray, but I don’t think everyone would know that an x-​ray is what he was referring to. To me, calling it a «picture» is misleading to patients and patients deserve to know when they are receiving an x-​ray.
At the end of the day, it’s simple. No treatment=1 star.

I’ve been coming to see Dr. Fishell for many years. I was very skeptical at first because I have a life long debilitating back problems and other chiropractors had not been able to help. I came here in considerable pain and after the first visit was amazed by the relief I felt. The doctor eventually worked the problem out entirely and I only need to come back from maintenance occasionally.
Dr. Fishell very thorough and professional even has a digital x-​ray machine in his office complex so that he can really take a look and see what’s going on. His wife Shelley is very kind and accommodates my busy schedule.

I have had a terrible experience with Olympic Chiropractic. Dr. Fischel has been rude and made this an extremely unpleasant experience that I would not want others to go through.
I was in a minor car accident and sought an evaluation/​treatment at Olympic Chiropractic as it was covered through American Specialty Health Network, a contracted facility through my insurance provider Kaiser Permanente. The office is small and I believe only two doctors practice here.
I received treatment from Dr. Tebbe and each visit, at most, was five minutes as that all that was needed for my treatment. Shelley, the office manager, would be there to greet me each time and was friendly and welcoming (at first). Other than a slightly off-​putting vibe that I got from the doctor, these visits were fine, albeit short.
I found it odd that the doctors told me it was mandatory to attend an hour long «class» about health and chiropractic services. It wasn’t until I attended the class that I found out that it was basically a useless presentation/​sales pitch about their business and a request for me to refer my friends and family there. I didn’t find their information relevant and as another review stated, the doctors would ask a series of questions and expect everyone to know the answer. Stop wasting people’s time, you’re the doctors, if everyone knew the answer, they wouldn’t be there.
At the end of my treatment, I thought that my entire bill was paid and taken care of. My health insurance paid the chiropractic office their agreed-​upon contracted rate, and my co-​pay was also satisfied. A few weeks later, I received a nasty phone call from the office manager, Shelley, accusing me of withholding payment and holding their money hostage. I was startled and called my insurance provider to clear the matter up.
Initially my insurance provider informed me that nothing is to be paid above the contracted rate. I relayed the message to Shelley who quickly got very aggressive and said that they weren’t obligated to follow the contracted rate. Just by her demeanor alone, it seemed like this could be a case of a doctor’s office trying to double-​bill and collect as much money as possible, while hoping that their patients won’t know any better and will just blindly pay. I was blown away at the attitude. What reason did I have NOT to trust my own health insurance provider over this office?
While going back and forth between Olympic Chiropractic and my health insurance provider to resolve the matter, I have been nothing but courteous to them. In return, I have been accused of being intentionally difficult and robbing them of their money. All I was trying to do is figure out why they are telling me one thing and my insurance is telling me another. Why would I pay them when I had a valid reason to think otherwise?
Dr. Fischel has been downright rude and inferred that I had made the situation complicated simply because he refused to hear what I had to say and wanted me to blindly accept what he said. I am truly blown away at how terribly he handled this. I would never withhold something that is due, but any smart person would do their due diligence before paying. It seems their tactic is to be condescending and bully their patients.
All in all, this has been a nightmare to deal with. Sorting through insurance networks and logistics can be cumbersome enough, but throw unprofessionalism and a bully of a doctor into the equation and you’d be better off not seeking treatment. Dr. Fischel has been extremely short with me and has refused to answer my questions in any sort of thoughtful manner. Their attitude and tone very quickly showed they had no regard for me as a patient. I would never recommend this office to anyone. Please go elsewhere.

What a wonderful doctor, team and facility. Doctor Fischel is knowledgeable and communicates his advice/​treatment thoroughly. Thanks for making my experience nice.

Not only do they manage to squeeze me in for last minute appointments, but they are very professional, very reasonably priced, very welcoming and friendly, experienced, knowledgable, clean and wonderful. Thanks Dr Glenn & Dr Tebbe… and of course Shelley & Joanna!

I have never been to a chiropractor before and based on the reviews I decided to give Olympic Chiropractic a shot. I’ve had terrible upper back pain and migraines for the past year so I figured I should seek medical attention– the natural way.
I have to say after the past two weeks I can feel such a difference in my body and overall well being. I used to get headaches every single day. I found myself popping 2 advils everyday and I hated how awful I felt taking medication constantly. It has now decreased to about 2 slight headaches a week, which is a HUGE difference for me. I also had no clue that chiropractors could help with headaches!
Dr. Fischel really takes the time to help his patients and find the root of the problem. He is huge on patient education. Some other patients may find this annoying because you are constantly given pamphlets to read and then he will ask you questions about it, but COME ON I think everyone should understand what they are doing to your body! It makes me think about all the other doctors I’ve been to that haven’t taken the time to explain to me what everything is and means.
I also love that they work with you with payments. As a recent graduate who just moved out to LA and is overwhelmed with bills… I KNOW I can’t afford $ 65 a visit. They set up a payment plan with me on the second visit and now I can get the treatment I need without breaking the bank.
And to top it all off, the receptionist Shelly is AMAZING! She knows you by name, works with your schedule and is such a sweetheart. I have never met a better receptionist!
Make an appointment at Olympic — you will not regret it.

Went in hoping to be adjusted. I don’t have insurance at the moment and I basically just paid over 100 for X-​rays and nothing else. I have an appointment to go back for treatment but I feel like I just wasted my time going. I wish I had known I was just going to get X-​rays and nothing else then I would have probably skipped and done something else with my time. The questionnaire you have to fill out asked questions that seemed irrelevant. I should have trusted my gut and left during that part but I really wanted to get adjusted. So I waited and was examined. The examination was thorough. A little annoying as another reviewer mentioned with all the questions about what this or that was. Anyway, then he takes X-​rays and tells me he doesn’t want to do anything without the X-​rays and to figure it out and come back. In his defense, he does seem like he knows what he’s doing and was able to identify problem areas with me rather quickly although I can’t say anything about his method since i didn’t get an adjustment. Soooooo then I go pay and I get a «big discount» and end up spending around $ 125 for X-​rays that I didn’t even want. I wanted an adjustment. That I didn’t get. And I won’t get until another visit. Really flipping lame.

i had my first and best experience here. I messed up my neck really bad on a friday morning while running. i was in excruciating pain and when it didnt go away in 24hrs i decided to go to this place because they were open on saturday and do x-​rays there. I was scared but i went. i got Dr. Roshani Desai she listened to me and was very intuitive and gentle, she knew i was scared to get adjusted because of the pain i was in but we worked through it together and she eventually adjusted me and literally my pain was lessened by 70 percent and the next day almost completely gone.
i will definitely only go back to her. everyone in the office was so nice and they gave me a great discount because i dont have insurance.
Thanks Dr. Desai !!!

Olympic Chiro has been one of the best investments of my life! Getting my body back to do all the crazy things I want to do pain free is AWESOME! I am an athlete and weekend warrior that loves to play hard. Over the years the aches and damage to my back and thereby my Central Nervous System have accumulated to the point where I’ve known I needed help but couldn’t quite put my finger on it.
Then I met Dr. Michael Tebbe who took an electronic reading of my back tension and an xray of my spine to find the ‘sublaxations’ aka ‘pain centers’ and to build a program with me to start correcting my body head to toe as well as my energy, focus and spirit.
Not only is Dr Tebbe a wizard but in a limited number of visits he fixed my cousins neck/​shoulder pain that he was suffering with and actually just this past Sat Dr Tebbe didn’t charge him bc his back was fine and Dr Tebbe said he didn’t need an adjustment. THATS HONESTY!
Dr Tebbe is presently working on my brothers back and CNS and body as well. Ok ok… enough about the mastermind Dr Tebbe. ;-)
I have also been worked on by Dr Desai, Dr Fischel and Frances who are all super knowledgeable, warm and masters of their craft. The entire staff is patient, kind, understanding, helpful, informative and trustworthy but they’re also an exceptionally efficient business place that provides good energy, relaxing music, a personable feel and custom programs to help your specific needs and ailments.
I love this place and will be an active client and advocate of theirs for as long as I live in the Los Angeles area. If I ever did leave, when I came back I’d visit them again bc I think that highly of their work, their approach and their character. Our bodies and Central Nervous System warrant proper treatment by trained certified professionals and I trust Olympic Chiropractic with mine and my families.
I give them a A+++ 1,000,000* rating.

I have such bad luck with chiros and this was just another one of them.
I forgot which doctor it was, but he kept on asking me stupid questions (What do you think this x-​ray means? What do you think your back does when you do that? Me: Why you are the doctor, why don’t you tell me? If I could answer those questions then I would be the doctor, and be paying my self 100+ dollars an hour, HM??) and looking at me with this creepy look that freaked me out. Mostly, I could totally tell they were just trying to get me to come back multiple times a week (rather than treating me) so they could get paid: P they made it so obvious. Also they told me my copay differently for some reason — I just wasted like 50 bucks. Never going to any chiro… again.
