Greg Vanvakaris, DC

My new favorite chiropractor. Dr. Greg is so pleasant and helpful. 2 visits in and my back is already feeling so much better. So grateful to him.

As a tall 5’11″ woman, I have been «back, neck and hip» challenged for many many years… with severe pain, and migraines (It impeded my life tremendously) … I had taken the LA «tour» BEST of UCLA, Cedars, County ETC ortho pods, exercise, chiros, pain management, hormone, diet/​food influx, Physical therapy, Feldenkrais, pilates, yoga, giro, bio feedback. trigger point I HAVE NEVER MET a more compassionate, caring, focused HUMAN BEING, ADD to that, being a health care professional that lives and BREATHES the Hippocratic Oath, and is not required, meaning Dr. G listens to you, REALLY LISTENS and does a true assesment and many times as I was truly at my… WOW I went off but on my journey to HEALTH, I could not have done it, or be where I am today without Dr. G

This is hands down the best chiropractor office I’ve ever been to. Dr. Greg is Beyond friendly an amazing person and definitely knows his way around the human body, speaking strictly professional. My hips have been out of alignment for some time and I cannot begin to explain the level of gratitude I have for him and his staff. Whatever your ailments, go have him take care of you. Thank you Dr. Greg

My first ever visit to the chiropractor was WONDERFUL because of Dr. Greg and his staff. I left his office feeling like a brand new person. Dr. Greg was patient, thorough, and kind. He even offered to contact my trainer with suggestions on which muscles to focus/​spend extra time on. I can’t say nice enough things about everyone at The Health Spot! Can’t wait to go back!

Dr. Greg is the kindest, most genuine person. His care is top-​notch, and after months of discomfort I feel better after just a few sessions with him.

Absolutely phenomenal visit. I have FINALLY found a chiropractor that GENUINELY cares about the wellbeing of their patient… The true wellbeing of their patient. He listens to what you tell him and then gets his hands on you (for lack of a better term). It is SO important for me to have a VERY hands on chiropractor because how is he or she going to know what’s going on with you if they don’t FEEL it.
I cannot stand the chiropractors that have all those gadgets and toys as I like to call them in their office. That make you go through a circuit of gadgets before they adjust you. Dr. Greg is straight to the point. He understands the human body and is honestly a gift of a human being. He truly is. What a great way to start my day! So glad that I found him.
If you have any doubts as to if he’s good or not I’ll say this. I’ve been to the same chiropractor since I was 11. When I’ve moved to different cities I’ve tried to find others because going home wasn’t always convenient, and I’ve found some real quacks. So before I booked an apt with him I had my reservations as I had JUST gone to a quack a few days ago because I needed an adjustment badly and they really messed me up. So I was worried about Dr. Greg too. But rest assured you are in GREAT hands with Dr. Greg. What a relief! So go go go book today!!! He’s awesome!!!

Dr. Greg is outstanding. I’ve been seeing him for the past 8 years. I recently underwent a breast reduction to help alleviate neck and shoulder pain. Dr. Greg was beyond supportive and was kind enough to write a letter of recommendation to accompany my surgeons letter for (hopeful) health insurance approval. It was approved! Aside from Dr. Greg’s easy and gentle disposition, his adjustments and muscular skeletal massage/​manipulation are wonderful. I highly recommend Dr. Greg.

Dr. Greg is incredibly friendly and helpful. He’ll take time to recommend all sorts of stretches and other ways to improve your ailment. There is rarely any wait time and the staff is super friendly and organized. High recommended.

I suffered a minor tear in my shoulder muscles and was told by a GP and an orthopedic surgeon that I’d need an MRI and surgery to correct the problem. Lacking the resources to fulfill either co-​payments, I turned to my community for help and was referred to Dr. Greg and the staff of The Health Spot in Studio City.
I received top-​quality care and attention right from the start. Dr. Greg’s knowledge of athletic and sporting injuries was essential to my diagnosis and physical therapy. I’d never visited a chiropractor before and was apprehensive about the process, but he took the time to explain exactly what he would be doing, why he would be doing it, and how each technique directly addressed my problem.
I’ve recommended two friends to him already and will continue to do so. Thanks Dr. Greg!

Dr. Greg made my first chiropractor experience awesome. He was very nice and explained everything clearly so I would understand. If you’re looking for a place to get it done right this is the place!

Dr. Greg is the best!!! Totally knowledgeable… kind and caring. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
I have sent a few friends to him and they also think he’s incredible. You can’t go wrong here.

absolutely incredible. THank you!

The BEST chiropractor i’ve ever been to and i’ve been to a lot. He is extremely knowledable and an amazingly friendly person. He makes you feel right at home from the moment he walks in the door. If your in need I would HIGHLY recommend him! Thanks Dr. Greg

Dr. Greg is awesome! I’ve been seeing him for years for my spinal/​structural issues, and he always gets me back on track, walking out taller and feeling better than when I came in. I’ve had chiropractors in the past who left me feeling worse, but Dr. Greg always listens to me and knows the right amount of pressure to use in his adjustments. Nice guy, too!

Dr. Greg is a true professional! His approach is unique and authentic because of his connection to the total mind/​body experience. Every time I leave a session with Dr. Greg I feel aligned both mentally and physically.

Well, I’m not going to write on rant on how great it was and all of the things he did because this was my first experience with a chiropractor. What I can say is the entire staff were friendly, Dr. Greg seemed well educated and knowledgeable and was happy to explain things and make me feel comfortable.
I have an appointment with him again next week. I guess my back is that f#€%ed from tattooing. I have high hopes on this awful pain getting better by the work of Dr. Greg.

Just went to see Dr. Greg and had to write a review. I haven’t had the best experiences with other chiropractors in the past, but Dr. Greg renewed my faith in them! After having such bad neck pain for over two months, I finally went to see him (I chose him because of the great Unilocal reviews… thanks Unilocal!) and I told him how nervous I was about having my neck adjusted. He totally understood and took so much time with me explaining everything he was doing and completely easing my mind. My worry was all for nothing. It went so smoothly… I really felt safe in his hands (literally). I had instant relief when I left, finally being able to turn my head to the left again. He was very mellow and calming and not pushy at all (some that I’ve been to made me feel like I needed to commit for the rest of my life). He really knew what he was doing and I will refer my husband and friends to him.

Dr. Greg is my hero!
I have been struggling with a back problem for over a year and finding the right treatment has been one of my main issues!
I came crawling to Dr. Greg’s office and was able to walk out standing straight on that same day! He has a deep understanding of where my pain is coming from and how to correct the issue.
I know how easy it is to be mistreated by an uninformed sleazy chiropractor, but I can ensure you, Dr. Greg knows his stuff and has gone above and beyond for my chiropractic wellness. He is the real deal!
Thank you, Dr. Greg!

Dr. Greg! Thank you!!!
I saw Dr. Greg for the first time this week he was recommended by another chiropractor who gets his adjustments from him. I have seen more chiropractors then most people in their life. Dr. Greg is great, he is very calm and doesn’t run out of the room as soon as he is done. He welcomes questions and gives good suggestions. His adjustments are amazing very gentle!!! If you are nervous he is the guy to see. Though I came in with neck pain he adjusted all of me, he does amazing soft tissue work before adjusting. I can’t say enough, Dr. Greg you are awesome and I’ll be back next week.

This was my first experience with a chiropractor, and I was super scared about getting my neck cracked around. I had injured my neck doing yoga, and decided it was time to try seeing a specialist after I couldn’t move it for two days.
Dr. Greg could tell I was nervous, and was super sweet and explained everything he was going to be doing. He is extremely personable and friendly, and also amazing at what he does. Not only did he adjust my neck, he gave me tips about my posture, adjusted my knees, and basically balanced out my whole body. He was swift, professional, and caring. I would recommend Dr. Greg to anyone, he’s wonderful.
