Head Neck & Spine Center - Brandon Goldstein

Dr. G is the best. It's been so hard finding a great doctor out here, moving from LA and having had great care out there. Dr. G has been such a great find. My back is feeling better than ever and it's all thanks to his care and expertise. Highly recommend his care.

Doctor Thompson Dr. (T) is awesome funny as all can be, super knowledgeable too. Dr. T changed my life for my back. She's so nice and totally not the stereo type chiropractor. You want a nice, funny, caring, honest chiropractor this is it. Shout out to Maria at the front desk always very patient and so helpful. They all are just so pleasant there.

I highly recommend The best place in la Jolla I am very satisfied with the care they provide me for my neck, my back and my knees, they do a wonderful job. Thanks you Dr. Goldstein and Dr. curley

Best Chiropractor Ever! My husband and I have been to many good chiropractors. Dr. Goldstein is the best we have ever been treated by. He really knows how to approach specific patient needs to give his years of experience. He and his staff are extremely caring and encouraging and scheduling is very convenient. When someone works on your body you must have a good working relationship that is built on trust and care.

We are grateful to have found this provider and are enjoying increased mobility and decreased pain from the therapy and adjustments. It is a full-service treatment with heat, electrodes, massage, and then adjustments.

Good nice place to go for first time experience. Very efficient and easy to communicate

Stay away from Dr. Goldstein in this clinic! I had never had a chiropractic treatment before, but I was told that the chiropractic treatment could be helpful for my stiff neck. As a patient with a herniated disc, however, I was not certain that the chiropractic treatment is safe. Before I started to get the treatment there, I asked Dr. Goldstein several times if the treatment is safe to make sure that I would not get hurt.

He kept assuring that it was completely harmless and I had nothing to worry about. However, after getting treatment, I started to have some pains and it got worse over time. In the end, I ended up going to an ER due to the pain and weakness in both my arms and legs. Since then, I have seen orthopedic surgeons and neurologists and all of them told me that I should have not taken this treatment because it could be harmful.

When I addressed this issue to Dr. Goldstein, he suddenly changed his word saying that the prognosis is very unpredictable in principle and I need to take care of the pain. It was clear that he knew this possibility from the beginning, but he just conveniently ignored when I asked. I have never had this kind of symptoms before, and I have been still dealing with this disaster for about a year. I wish I was wise enough to ignore Dr. Goldstein's false and irresponsible advice. Just stay away from him if you do not want to get hurt!

Dr. Hedrick is a magic man. 5 stars, words, nothing can accurately depict his skill and knowledge. Anyone I meet or know has had me recommend him to them. I wouldn't be surprised if I started walking up to strangers to tell them about him. Anyone whose taken the recommendation and gone to see him has verified that he is indeed magic. Stop reading this and book an appointment already.

I've had headaches for years now, and I always thought it was normal. I would frequently get headaches every week, and it was just a huge bother. I read online somewhere that chiropractors help with headaches since it relieves tension in your spine and neck, so I decided to follow through with it. I've been seeing Dr. Sharaine Thompson every week or two for about 2 months now, and I haven't had any killer headaches!

My doctor said it was from stress (I'm a student at UCSD) and immobility since I sit at a desk all the time doing work. I honestly leave feeling better every time, and I'm really happy I made the right choice.

Don't walk, run to see Dr. Goldstein! The best chiropractor experience I've ever had. Amazing adjustments to my neck and spine, he listens to my needs. Thank you, Maria as well! Highly recommend!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Leake, I just wish I had more pregnant friends to tell! I am 25 weeks pregnant and started getting some back and leg pains after 20 weeks. I have been feeling so much better after weekly sessions with Dr. Leake. I was hesitant to get adjusted while pregnant but she is very knowledgeable and well trained working with pregnant patients.

I have been a patient of Dr. T for a very long time! She has the utmost priority for people's well being. She is a master at her skill and is the reason I go to Head, Neck and Spine center. There are no words great enough to describe the beyond excellent care she provides! Thank you Dr. T!

In the gloom and doom that is today's times, having an appointment with Dr. Sharaine Thompson is actually something to look forward to. The office is really no-frills and that's a great thing for me -- hop in, get adjusted, done! Dr. Sharaine is amazing, and definitely deserves all the accolades people have said on here. Her bedside manner is *the* best out of all the health care practitioners I have encountered here in SD.

Her skill is absolutely amazing, too. I always walk out of the center feeling like a million bucks and ready to tackle the week. After going through a few chiros in the area, I am really hoping to settle long term on this place. My one regret is that I didn't find this place sooner.

I've been seeing Kayleigh since I was 16 weeks pregnant and have been so grateful for her support! Going to a chiropractor for the first time while pregnant was nerve racking, but Kayleigh is extremely communicative and adapts to your comfort level. I'm now 33 weeks pregnant with very little physical symptoms and credit her work! She is also very knowledgeable about the local birthing community as well as general prenatal and postpartum care. Having limited resources during COVID has been difficult - I feel so lucky to have found Kayleigh when I did!

Dr H is great. Have had shoulder - back pain for years. Was very skeptical of chiropractic at first. Seeing Dr H changes my perspective. He knows his stuff.

Got into an accident a few months back where I was rear-ended pretty badly, and I felt pain in my neck/upper back/shoulders immediately. I was recommended to see Dr. Goldstein, and I could not have asked for a better chiropractor! Dr. G takes the time to explain to you the process and purpose of his practice, then meticulously treats you as efficiently as possible.

He truly knows what he's talking about, and I essentially fully recovered within almost two months. The most important thing I want to note is that He genuinely cares about his patients and their wellbeing, a quality that not all practitioners exhibit. I was also dealing with legal issues from the accident, and he went out of his way to recommend attorneys and resources for me; he even went as far as to check in on how I was doing every few days when I was evidently stressed over the entire ordeal. Should you ever need to see a chiropractor, I wholeheartedly recommend going here (the rest of the staff is great, too!).

We love going to Dr. sharaine she is an amazing chiropractor and we have been going to her for over 20 years, love her like family

Visited Dr. Thompson today. I really like her approach. A followup visit two days. With proper exercise, I hope my pain will be gone forever!

Dr. G and the team made my chiropractor experience amazing. It can be a hit or miss trying to find someone you can trust to give you the proper adjustments and understand the troubles you're going through when dealing with pain and soreness, but Dr. G helped me to get through it. I felt brand new every time I left with an adjustment. Everyone at Dr. Goldstein's office are very nice, helpful, and accommodating as well. I would highly recommend this place if you're in need of an adjustment!

Dr. Thompson is amazing! She walked me thru step by step what to expect and her approach is just what I needed. I had only tried Chiro once before (I frequently get migraines & work at a desk) and it was a terrible experience. Dr. Thompson opened my eyes to how beneficial this can be and not scary at all. If you are new to chiropractic work I strong suggest her!

Top notch customer service from everyone in the office. After 6 months of pain, discomfort and limited mobility of my neck, Dr. Goldstein fixed all my issues in less than an hour on my first visit (why did I wait so long?!)! They were able to get me an appointment asap to help me. Highly recommend to anyone that needs a chiropractor.

I have been coming here for a couple years now and I love this place! Dr. Thompson just knows how to fix me when I am hurting, as I powerlift and train for marathons! The front desk is always friendly and easy to call when making an appointment and the location is perfect as utc area can be a hassle for parking, never have to worry here! This location also has massage or acupuncture ( which I highly suggest for anyone with muscles injuries!)

I highly recommend Dr. Richard Hedrick at the Head, Neck and Spine Center. As a health care provider, I only see other providers for my yearly physical because I can usually fix any health problems myself or I know someone who can. However, I had an acute episode of severe lower back pain for a few weeks. I was giving myself gastritis by sucking down Motrin.

So I looked on Yelp and took a chance. Dr. H is magical. I walked out pain free on the first visit. I developed intermittent shoulder and neck pain from sitting at the computer all day long and he fixed those also. I have been to chiropractors in the past and I have never noticed a difference. He is the best! It has been two weeks and I am pain free for the first time in over nine months.

Doctor Goldstein is a very knowledgeable and friendly Chiropractor who takes time to talk with you and help formulate a game plan to getting you back to your normal self. He is a humble family man with an incredible staff! Thanks as always for getting me back to feeling better and getting me back to work where I belong!

Dr H is great! I leave feeling so much better! I've always been skeptical about The Whole chiropractic treatment and have had a few BAD experiences so going in took a lot of research and thought. I am 100% happy with Dr H, he took his time explaining things to me and letting me know what was happening with each step. Every visit he checks to see how I'm feeling and what is bothering me (which is usually everything) and addresses what needs to be addressed. I've only been going for a little while now but it is now a wonderful part of my self care regimen.

I came with a mild injury after a car accident. The doctor was good, the treatment was helpful. One not so good thing - it was really hard to find out the cost of treatment, although I asked every time I came. Every time there was a reason why they cannot tell me. I finally found out the cost from a copy sent to me by an insurance.

What can I say? I was a wreck and Dr. H saved me! I woke up last week in a tremendous amount of pain- my neck and upper back had betrayed me. Begrudgingly, I shuffled to work, with a heat pad in tow. A co-worker saw me and immediately suggested I see her chiropractor, Dr. H. I called Head Neck & Spine Center of San Diego and was shocked that they could fit me in within an hour!

I arrived and was greeted by their lovely receptionist, Maria, and was taken back to the exam room almost immediately. Dr. H did a thorough review of my symptoms and history and got to work. Although my neck and back were in such bad shape, Dr. H knew exactly what to do. He explained everything he did and prepared me for the recovery process. After another appointment, the next morning, I was feeling so much better! I honestly don't know what I would have done without Dr. H and his team! I will definitely be back- hopefully for preventative services only :

Life has beat me up pretty badly. Brandon and crew have been key in keeping me on my feet and able to do my work without any more pain or creakiness. Brandon has an intuitive nature as a healer - he possesses the ability to understand the body in ways that allow him to be divinely effective in his practice. There is a lot of positive energy within these walls.

Everyone is really in tune with the needs of their clients - It's apparent every time I visit. I cannot recall a time where any of the staff did not have a smile on their face or a peaceful countenance. Maria is extraordinarily accommodating, works magic with my schedule, and as the first person I usually see upon arriving, greets all who visit with a warmth and compassion that brightens everyone's day.

When I'm not feeling well, when my body is screaming "help!", a visit to Dr. G. leaves me feeling like I'm walking on water. The office is easy to get to, covered parking keeps your car nice and cool, and there's a great little cafe on the 1st level that I like to visit. If pain is your prison, Dr. Goldstein is your redemption.

Dr Thompson has been my go-to girl for chiropractic work for over 10 years now. Absolutely the best- I bring my son, who's 15 and plays baseball, my wife who cross-fits/Zumba, and now my 12 1/2 year old daughter who plays volleyball. No high pressure sales here. From Maria at the front desk to Dr T, nothing but professional top notch service and the feeling of being taken care of. Could not possibly recommend more!

Dr. Hedrick significantly reduced my pain and increased my range of motion and arm strength in my first visit, whereas my previous chiropractor in two visits could not accomplish any reduction at all. Been five days suffering from a pinched nerve in my neck, that caused spasms of pain to shoot out into my arm, and my elbow and forearm to ache. Two Alleves would barely put a dent in the pain, if at all. Went to see my usual chiro back home (we are in San Diego area for vacation) about this for two visits with no relief at all.

I was worried, as that guy usually fixed things up. This time he was stumped. Plus he always trying to get me to sign for $1500 of repeat visits, which is annoying since there is no explanation why that would help. Dr Hedrick takes the time to thoroughly understand your history, then takes the time to fully prepare your body for the actual treatment.

I think that's where his treatment was far more effective than my usual chiro who goes right for the fierce adjustment in the neck, which failed to happen in the last two visits. However, by the time Dr Hedrick did the neck adjustment he hardly used any force at all, and it just popped nicely. He constantly asks do you have any questions which is very comforting.

And he does NOT rush. He multiplexes patients effectively while they are on the heat/stim machine. But when he is laying hands on you, he takes his time and does the right thing. Very nice compared to my other chiro where it's 5-10 minutes in to out. So it's 10 hours later, and I continue to feel better by the hour. So satisfied! He's so good, I will make an appointment to see him every time I fly in to San Diego for any reason at all.

I've here been to see Dr. Hedrick a few times now. I drive up to see him from Ocean Beach. I tend to get pretty nervous and uncomfortable, but he puts me at ease. He's takes his time, explains everything throughly and adds enough small talk that I don't feel like just another patient. The location has tons of parking, front desk girl is always nice and the other doctors seem friendly. Five stars. I'll be back sooner than later.

I had TMJ for over 8 years, I asked multiple dentists what I could do to fix it but after a lot of money and no help from the mouth guards/retainers they gave me, I gave up on correcting it. This year my jaw got a lot worse and someone I met said to try a chiropractor. I met with Dr. Goldstein, he was straight forward and honest with me and it never felt like he was pressuring me into getting treatment.

He even said that because of how long I had TMJ for his treatment may not work. He suggested 2-3 weeks to start. I decided to give it a shot and after just a few visits he had re-trained my jaw muscles to work properly. There is soreness that is still healing but all the clicking, popping and even the locking of my jaw is all gone. I didn't think I would ever get this fixed without some sort of surgery but Dr. Goldstein did it in about 6 visits.

I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a Chiropractor. As an update to this review I wrote 4 years ago, I now see Dr. Goldstein on and off for problems I have in my neck and back. He continues to provide excellent service and I wouldn't trust anyone else with taking care of me.

I have been going to Dr. Goldstein for over 4 years now. I initially saw him to correct an issue I had with my jaw. It had been a problem for 10 plus years so I wasn't very hopeful but after a few weeks of treatment it was completely corrected. He designed a treatment plan that worked perfectly. Since then I go back and see him to get minor adjustments from time to time.

Beyond being a very knowledgeable chiropractor, he's easy to make an appointment with on short notice, which is important because when something is off with my back or neck it helps to get it fixed soon. Also he never tries to sell me on additional treatments. I rarely write reviews but Dr. Goldstein is worth it and I recommend him to anyone that asks me about it.

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.
