I absolutely love Dr. Jovel and his staff. First impression is always important to me. They're all so welcoming and made me feel comfortable. My first visit was the initial evaluation of my spine and xrays done. The second visit, I was placed in a room with my xray results in front of me which brought me to tears. As a nurse for many years, I have come across many xrays on duty and have had a few done for myself, but I had a gut feeling when looking at my xrays this time, it didn't look good. Lately, I have been feeling the negative effects from the accumulation of consistent physical, mental and emotional stress with little to no recovery time more than usual and one day I decided it was time to address the problems and work on recovering, what I have left. Unfortunately, the gut feeling I had was correct. My xrays confirmed how bad my spine is. Dr. Jovel took the time to explain exactly what I was looking at, why it was there and what we could do to fix it. We've been working on my spinal issues twice a week for the last 2 months and after a few treatments I can finally wake up, get out of bed and work 12-16 hours 4 days a week, go hiking, paddleboarding, Disneyland, traveling and everything I love to do all pain-free for the first time in years. I have never felt more seen or heard by a provider before in this way. I feel it would be beneficial to anyone who has felt the way I have been feeling, as someone in her 60s, to try and find a Dr. Jovel to relieve them of their pain and emotional distress. Moving forward, each time that I go in for adjustments, traction, and doing my neck exercises, I'm feeling a lot of relief and less pain especially my lower back and my foot. Today touched me. I really felt how much he cares and how compassionate he is about his patients. I was getting ready on the bench to be adjusted while the doctor was working on a pt. next to me. As the pt was laying on her back,the Dr. Was getting ready to adjust neck. What I observed was the doctor had his head bowed down with his eyes closed as if he's praying or having a moment while he had his hands on the sides of her head/neck. Then, he gently adjusted her neck and I heard her say that it felt better. I was quite impressed with his moment before adjustments. I've seen plenty of chiropractors in my lifetime and none of them have ever taken a moment like that. They're too much in hurry to do what they have to do and move on to the next pt. His work ethics is always professional with patience, empathy, care, and kindness. You feel it with his staff. It's infectious. It's worth my drive from San Pedro to Tustin twice a week. I'm always happy to be there. They make my day. Dr. Jovel, you rock! Your rating deserves more than a million stars. God sent you to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart .
