Dr. Goldstein is professional and effective. I recommend his practice to my friends and family. If you are looking for help, stop looking and call 858−558−3111!
I was rear ended and did suffer from significant back and neck pain. It’s been a few months, but the pain is gone and I am back to feeling good.
Without getting into a lot of boring detail, I’d like to mention that Dr. Goldstein is an over achiever and cares about his patients. He went well beyond the call of duty to help me with a completely unrelated issue. He is a stand up guy whom you can trust.

Dr. Rich, has the perfect adjustment; gone are days of forced adjustments and pain to achieve the required results. I am not only feeling better but feel a renewal, which has inspired my to loose some old weight and start moving. What started off as an adjustment after a car accident has now inspired me to a planned program to correct the rest of my body.
Thank you Richard for sharing your gift of healing, you are a total professional! I would not hesitate to do this again, I am blessed that Patrick recommended your services.
Maria is friendly and always engaging.

Dr Thompson is the best chiropractor that I have ever come across. She was introduced to me years ago when my car got hit from behind on the freeway as I was in a standstill in traffic. The improvement in my body is immeasurable. She knows what she is doing, has the best personality, and recommending her is not nearly enough. I drive from Chula Vista just to be treated by her, because she is that good. Maria, the office manager there, he’s also phenomenal. Countless times she has gotten me same day appointments and always tries to be extremely accommodating. I have never experienced random upsells, and they have never done anything more than cater to what I request. If only everybody took as much pride in what they do for a living as the people in this office, it would be a much much better world! Try out Dr Thompson, you will not regret it!

I’ve been an active person my entire life; racing motorcycles, surfing and playing football since I could walk.
I’m now almost 26 and my crazier years are taking a toll on me, specifically neck and shoulder pain. The neck pain would become aggravated every month or two looking back for a wave when surfing, while my shoulder would flare up a few times a month while lifting weights at the gym.
A friend suggested I visit a chiropractor– he said the body was a system and sometimes things can get out of wack and that, like cars, bodies need a tune up. I stubbornly refused until my most recent neck pinch that lasted longer than normal.
I poked around on Unilocal and decided to see Dr. Goldstein based almost exclusively off Unilocal reviews and the location of his office. I’m glad I came here! Dr. Goldstein didn’t waste my time or try and get me out of his office as fast as he could. His office was like the perfect temperature porridge from Red Riding Hood. He explained what was causing my problem, proposed a treatment plan and set a fair price. I had nothing to disagree with so I went for it. Two months later, this is the longest period of time I’ve gone without pain in my neck and shoulder since I was a kid. I don’t feel like he got over on me nor do I think I could get better care somewhere else. The care i received seemed personalized, like they just look over my file all day long to develop the perfect treatment, and everyone here is friendly and personable.
The way I see it, you have two options: go around looking for a good chiropractor, have some bad experiences and end up here with Dr. Goldstein OR check out Dr. Goldstein first and save time and headache.

Dr. Goldstein is the best chiropractor in all of San Diego! I was referred to him by a friend of mine and in just one visit I’ve received more care and pain relief of my hurt shoulder than I have in the last 3 months. He truly cared about my pain and wanted to get me in the right direction to get me fully recovered in the fastest time possible. He made me feel like a friend while his care and concern went above and beyond my expectations. I can’t thank him enough for his time and always look forward to my appointments, go see him!

I was terrified of chiropractors and started going to Dr. Goldstein. His staff has been awesome and he is an excellent healer! He took my fear into consideration and established trust with me and I am longer afraid, or in pain for that matter! After three months of therapy, I was a bit sad on my last day. I HIGHLY recommed Dr. Goldstein!!! I had an amazing experience!

I am impressed with the staff at this office. From the moment you walk in the office, you are greeted with a friendly smile. Dr. Goldstein is always on time and really takes the time to talk about how I am feeling and suggestions for healing. I have been going for several weeks and wouldn’t feel better without these services! I’m so happy to be a patient and look forward to healing.

I’ve seen Dr. Hedrick a couple times here and I just had to compliment the whole company on my recent experience.
I forget the name of the wonderful woman at the front desk, but she’s assisted me through some insurance issues and is so accommodating, kind, and helpful!
This last appointment, I was ten minutes late and informed Dr. H that I only had a half and hour for him to «fix» my back before I had to run off to school. Completely admitting my difficult-​patient potential! He immediately took me back, performed my adjustment, rechecking and confirming my comfort, and sent me on my way. It was exactly what I wanted and asked for, and he did not rush my appointment in any unnecessary manner. He was still able to tend to my back, as well as my neck and hips. He is so kind, along with the rest of the staff (always smiling!).
I’m so happy I found HN&S through my insurance last year, and even though I no longer have chiropractic coverage, I will still pay for their affordable session-​plan throughout this year. Thank you!

I have been going to Dr. Goldstein for 10 years now and he has helped me out of some serious situations. My back has gone out some many times over the years because I have Spina-​bifida and it is very hard to manage. Dr. Goldstein, as well as the rest of the people he chooses to employee in his office are always so kind and accommodating with me whenever I need to make it into an appointment. I have never had a problem with getting my needs met, and above all the physical care and awareness of my physical condition has been nothing less than EXCELLENT! If you want personalized care with a Dr. who listens and knows how to help you then I would recommend looking no further. Don’t waste your time with people who just want to extend your visits to fill their pockets. Dr. Goldstein will work on you with the goal of getting you to be independent again.

Disregard Edgar P. Review he has no idea what he’s talking about! Dr goldstein and his staff are amazing and the best that I’ve ever been around. I have been getting treatment there for about 8 years now and is amazing how they treat their patients and how dedicated his status the well-​being of his patients. So please disregard the comments Edgar P. because obviously he was having a bad day and decide to take it out on Dr goldstein and his staff.

Office staff is incompetent and unprofessional. Being a physician, I am shocked at how paralyzed the office manager is by what should be routine operations in a doctor’s office. If this lack of skill is acceptable to Dr. Goldstein in the front office, what does that say about the level of skill in the exam room?

Not only is Dr. G the coolest chiropractor ever! But he’s also amazing at what he does. And seeing as he used to work on Tiger Woods… his credentials vouch for that statement.
As a professional skydiving instructor of 14 years, my back has seen some painful moments. Every time I’ve gone to see Dr. G, I walk away from the session feeling great, and after a few treatments are done, I’m feeling great all the time.
Do not go and see just any chiropractor. Dr. Goldstein is the best in socal!
Thanks Dr. G!

At first I was seeing dr. Goldstein because of a pinched nerve. He did a great job on making the numbness in my leg go away. Unfortunately that was all he did as he never completely examined me. So I’d give him 4 stars.
The problems with my pelvis came and went but I could never really say why. A friend tipped me about another chiropractor at the center so I decided to try this one out. Dr. Hedrick was amazing! He did a thorough examination of my whole body, not just my pelvis. He really took the time to find out how I was doing and what he could do to help. I was super happy when I left. Since then I’ve been to dr. Hedrick a few times but after his great advice on sleeping positions and exercise, I feel much better so I don’t need to go as often. Defintely 5 stars for dr. Hedrick!

The LA Jolla head, neck and spine center is seriously great! I’m no pro on chiropractor s all I know is I’ve been here to see Dr Brandon Goldstein several times over the past couple years and not only is the staff great the Dr is excellent, quick and honest. He showed me some stretches to do at home and he really takes his work serious and it shows. I feel very taken care of while I’m there and always leave feeling better. I recommend going to see Dr Goldstein for your chiropractic needs you won’t be let down.

I was recently a victim in a hit and run accident a few months ago which gave me a serious case of whiplash. Not knowing anything about this type of injury I started going to Dr. Goldstein for treatment. I originally heard about his practice through my brother and sister who also go to him for past injuries as well.
Since my accident I’ve had tremendous success with healing and being pain free!!! Dr. Goldstein is very informative and takes the time to explain every question or concern I might have. The office and staff are so welcoming and very nice too! I’m so glad I was introduced to Dr. Goldstein and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a chiropractor.

If you have any neck or back issues, Dr. Goldstein is your Chiro Doctor that you have to see. Dr. G. will not only make you feel better, he will improve your overall health.
I’ve been seeing Dr. G since September of last year, I haven’t felt this good & strong in a long time. I’m pretty active. I play alot of golf, work out 3 to 5 times a week, & run a few marathons. My sciatica acts up now & then which gives me lower back problems. Dr. G has helped treat my pain and improve my athletic performance in all my activities. Thank you Dr. Goldstein!

I absolutely love this place!
Dr. Goldstein in my opinion is one of the best chiropractors I have ever been too. I recently got in a car accident in December and was not able to work out to my full potential. However when I switched over to his practice it only took a couple of sessions to feel back to normal. To be honest, I am usually scared of being adjusted (especially neck adjustments) but now I don’t even notice when he does it! He has A LOT OF TALENT.
Thank you soo much for helping me get back to normal! :)
