Where do i start. I am super active, very fit person who works out 7 days a week (no judgement please). High intensity training, interval running, heavy lifting. I thrive and live for it. But i am also in my mid 30 and i got injured. Running outside in particular. So lame as i just never do, but hey, getting old ain't easy. So after two months of trying to fix it I finally gave up and called dr. Dan. Didn't have high expectations. But I gotta tell you- talking to a doctor who is an athlete himself changed my perspective completely. He gave me the best advice, the best course of treatment and i thank God everyday for this man! I am three weeks past the initial visit and i can run again! There is seriously nothing worse than talking to a doctor about sport related injury and knowing he doesn't work out himself. Not dr. Dan. He is a machine! So fit and so knowledgeable. I am so impressed. I will recommend him to anyone that gets injured and needs professional help!

Visited Dr. Dan for a nagging ITBS concern after one too many intense cycling rides. As others have said below he is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and willing to take time in and out of the office to ensure you are back out doing what you love. He gave me several exercises, stretching techniques and info on how to ramp back up with my training for my event.  Within just a week I have seen big progress. I highly recommend Dr. Dan!!

After Back to Healthcare tried to scam me out of $1500 last May, I had to find legitimate help for my back pain. My injury occurred while I was doing deadlifts in the gym. The barbell slipped out of my hand while I was lowering it, which made a popping sound in my back, followed by 36 hours of back spasms and a week of stiffness.I was really skeptical because Dr. Dan is also a chiropractor but I liked his background as an athlete and many reviews from athletes that were testimonial of Dr. Dan being exactly what they were looking for. The doc had me do a few movements and stretches and it wasn't that long until he was able to rule out my fear of a herniated disc. He performed ART, which I'm not very familiar with, but I was much feeling better at the end of the session, both physically and a huge sense of relief that I wasn't doomed to lifting light weights.What I really liked was that I was there for an hour and he was very attentive to me. He wasn't running around the the office busy with other patients. We even had time to go over squat and deadlift form for injury prevention. It's been 9 months now and I haven't had any serious injuries, just minor gym stuff, but if something does happen, I have full trust that Dr. Dan will be able to help.Also worth mentioning that Dr. Dan accept Blue Shield, which I don't have, but it was worth the cost to know that some rest was all my back needed to heal.

I saw Dr. Dan just once, this week, and I think he is excellent.  I say this as someone who has had massive foot problems for years, and has visited about a million physical therapists and chiropractors.  Dr. Dan doesn't just know anatomy - he is an athlete who actually uses his body, and it shows with his approach to treatment.  My right foot erupted with a bad case of tendonitis a few weeks ago, so I stopped my runs and have been hobbling around in a boot.  I flew home to California, couldn't take the pain anymore, checked Yelp, and booked an appointment with Dr. Dan.  He treated me with A.R.T., and gave me a regimen of stretching exercises to do every day, with equipment.  In 2 days, the pain has dropped, and I am able to do long-distance walks without a boot.  No one else was able to help me.  And as a bonus - he is super nice.  Great guy, and awesome doc.  Highly recommended.  I just wish he was in Washington D.C.One note - he is at Beach Chiropractic in Torrance now, so make sure you Google their website to get the right location.

Dr. Dan is filled with a rich knowledge of the human body! He was so personable, patient, and informative! I had been going to a different sports medicine doctor, and Dr. Dan is hands down a million times better. I went here to get my knees, and ankles worked out. He gave me so many useful exercises to strengthen my hips and gluts! I like that he said, "Think of holding in the credit card" haha...awesome!
