I want to thank Dr. Eberhart and staff for keeping me going. I am 88 years old. Due to the care I receive at Complete Spine I am able to walk daily and get around almost pain free. I even finished The Corona del Mar 5 k Walk last month. Whenever I have an inkling of pain I see Dr. Eberhart and she immediately gets me feeling better. I am proud to say I don’t take any medications (only vitamins) and I feel great! Sincerest thanks.

After months of x‐rays, MRI’s, and physical therapy, my lower back pain was at a plateau, and it wasn’t getting any better. I was referred to Complete Spine and Wellness by my orthopedic specialist. Up to this point, my prior experience with chiropractic care was limited, and I was skeptical that I could be helped. At my first consultation with Dr. Eberhart, I was immediately put at ease and had high hopes for my recovery. Dr. Eberhart had the exact approach I wanted – she was an athlete, treated athletes, and had an aggressive program to get me back on my feet. The treatment was extremely helpful, with immediate results, and I was provided guidance on how to maintain my progress. My back has never been better. I would recommend their services to anyone that needs helpful, courteous, and immediate no nonsense care.

Over the years I've injured my lower spine and neck and the pain has persisted. Lately, however, I'm benefiting from a reduction in pain that surpasses my prior treatment experiences. The doctors here are superb, so much so that I tell people, 'I've been going to chiropractors since I was ten years old, my gray hair shows I'm older now, and this is the best chiropractic care I've ever received.'"

What an incredible experience at Complete Spine and Wellness! The warm atmosphere and professional staff made me feel comfortable and confident as soon as I walked through the door. Dr. Eberhart took the time to listen to my concerns and established a complete wellness program that changed my life. She took into account specific injuries, as well as regular wear and tear from my professional baseball career and created a program that alleviated pain that I thought I would have to deal with forever. I’m so grateful to Dr. Mary and her entire staff for their commitment to helping me become healthy once again.

As a swimmer at USC and Olympic hopeful, I trained six hours per day and ran several miles per week as part of my workout schedule, until being sidelined with injuries. Before going to see Dr. Eberhart I had three reconstructive knee surgeries and was in constant pain. My orthopedic surgeon told me I should only “run to escape danger" and exercising became a chore. My knee injuries also threw everything else in my body out of alignment: my back hurt, my shoulders ached and my neck felt stiff at the end of every day. However, after Dr. Eberhart’s personalized, individual care suited to my lifestyle needs (and knees!), I am pain free and have no restrictions. Best of all, I can run or swim whenever I want!

What an AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) Season! Ryan ended up at the 11th placed team on tour and ranked 15th for digs. Saralyn is the 8th ranked player for blocks and the 28th player for overall points this season. These stats are outstanding, especially considering our average finishes were 13th, and most players ranked above us consistently made it to Sunday.

Without a doubt, it was not our efforts alone that brought our successes this season. We’d like to take a moment to thank you for your support and for your staff’s tender care. The progress Saralyn has made with her shoulder and posture was outstanding. Not to mention the emergency staph infection that Dr. Hayes diagnosed and we were able to take care of immediately. Certainly our progress as athletes this season was a result of your attention and service. You are an integral piece of us living and reaching our dreams. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Much love and thanks,

Complete Spine and Wellness has been my go to place for the past 5 years for more occasions than I care to count. As a 49 year old software engineer and weekend warrior of sorts; swimming, volleyball, biking, and golf I often wake up with new aches and pains. Some come with a reasonable explanation, others… not so much, just age or sleeping in the wrong position. No matter what my problem or the cause, Dr. Hayes and Dr. Eberhart have been there to help me. Dr. Hayes has a real talent/gift for healing and a genuine desire to help people. It is obvious he loves what he is doing. I am a fan of Complete Spine and Wellness for so many reasons, the office staff is extremely accommodating, Dr. Eberhart is constantly introducing new/state of the art equipment and methodologies into the practice, but mostly because they genuinely care about my health and well being. What more could you want from the place you go to for pain relief I recommend them to anyone who will listen.

For the past 15 years I have competed in every type of endurance race, including over 70 triathlons and two Iron Man. When I was sidelined for 6 months with a neck injury, I put the same dedication into finding a solution as I did my training and racing. Unfortunately, all roads were leading toward neck surgery. As a 39 year old man, that was the last thing I wanted. Knowing that was now a possibility, I wanted to check one more option before surgery. My orthopedic doctor referred me to Mary Eberhart. I was told that she was known for helping patients avoid surgery and was also a competitive athlete. This made me feel at ease. After a thorough exam and review of my records, she told me she was confident I didn’t need surgery and that all I needed was 6 weeks on the DRX 9000 Decompression. Dr. Eberhart explained very clearly why she felt so confident in her diagnosis and, again, made me feel at ease. I have been training for 2 months now and plan on doing 15 races this year. NO SURGERY WAS NEEDED!!!

Thanks, Dr. Eberhart

I was referred to Complete Spine and Wellness Center from my primary doctor about 8 months ago. For years I have been suffering with low back pain because about 7 years ago I had back surgery that left me with severe pain. The pain was so debilitating I could not walk or stand longer than 10 minutes. I am a 55 year old man and consider myself active and someone that enjoys life. I have been in and out of pain clinics receiving epidural injections and massive doses of medication. I thought there was no hope until I was sent me to the Complete Spine and Wellness Center. From the first minute I entered the beautiful office, the staff was kind, warm and accommodating. Dr. Eberhart sat down for 15 minutes and asked me pertinent questions about my condition. I never had any doctor spend this much time with me! She them gave me a thorough exam and explained my condition to me. Though I had surgery I realized I didn’t know what was actually wrong with me until she explained it to me. I am now able to work out daily which was Dr. Eberhart’s goal for me from day one. I no longer need daily daily medication and I am living a healthy, active life. Also, my wife tells me I’m in the best shape of my life. I want to thank everyone at Complete Spine and Wellness Center for giving me back my life!

My experience with Complete Spine and Wellness was great. After my accident I worked for about two weeks with back pain for the better part of the day. I ended up taking about Ibuprofen pain relievers two to three times a day to get me through. Finally, I decided to get chiropractic care. Complete Spine welcomed me with a friendly staff and compassion for my situation. They got me started immediately with treatments. All of their chiropractors are professional, friendly, and competent. What stood out for me was that they always took their time and never rushed to get me in and out. These things were very important, as my treatments extended out over a few months. Results were apparent after the first treatment and after a few treatments I didn't even need pain relievers to get me through a work day. They also went over self‐care, which can be done on your own at home. Quite simply, I believe Complete Spine and Wellness shortened my recovery time by months and helped me understand what I can do on my own to maintain long‐term spinal and cervical health. Thanks Dr. Eberhart, Hayes and Dadivas.

My physician referred me to the Complete Spine and Wellness Center as I was suffering from severe lower back pains (herniated discs and an aggravated nerve). I had several epidural treatments and had been relying on ointments and over‐the‐counter pain killers for months without experiencing any measurable relief. Having seen three chiropractor doctors before becoming a patient at the Complete Spine and Wellness Center, I had my reservations that I could be helped.

Within the first week of receiving treatment from the highly professional and experienced staff, I noticed an immediate increase in mobility. After three weeks, I was no longer experiencing pain and my back felt much stronger. I am now completely pain free and am back to regular exercise (including weights and golf). I strongly recommend the Complete Spine and Wellness team, as they have given me an opportunity to return to my active lifestyle.

On my first visit to Complete Spine and Wellness to see Dr. Mary Eberhart, I was extremely impressed by the caring professionalism of both the practitioners and the office staff. I was trying to avoid knee replacement surgery or at least put off for as long as I could. Here we are a year later and I am even more impressed and feel stronger than ever and ready for my new knees. With the patient's health and well being the staff's primary concern, all the doctors willingly help and support one another in their goal to assist their patients....how rare is this! If Dr. Mary hasn't an immediate answer to a question or health concern of mine, she will either ask or research to find an answer and get back to me...again, how rare is this! Lucky me to be the recipient of such a loving nurturing environment.....one more time, how rare is this!

I started having knee and shoulder pains in my late twenties. I have been playing volleyball for a good portion of my life and since I started having symptoms, I could no longer hit or run like I used to. I have never tried chiropractic before and wasn’t sure what they could do for me. However, ever since I started getting treated with Dr. Dadivas at Complete Spine and Wellness, I noticed a significant decrease in my symptoms, I could play harder and longer. They also recommended nutritional supplements that would help rebuild my joints and they work great! Thank you so much for giving me my game back!

The professional care that you and your staff at The Complete Spine and Wellness Center give your patients is nothing less than exemplary. Many doctor visits are cold, clinical and often downright scary. My experience at your clinic however was refreshingly different. Throughout the entire process, I felt that I was in gentle, caring hands. My diagnosis and treatment plan was communicated to me clearly right from the beginning and I was filled with confidence in the chosen treatment. It is so refreshing to find a practice like yours that understands the importance of the many intangibles that others unfortunately overlook.

Many thanks to the fine people at Complete Spine and Wellness for their exceptional treatment and care. I have had lower back issues for a number of years and finally found the chiropractic treatment that really worked!! Also, twice in the last year, I suffered two serious injuries while playing Ice Hockey. Both times, the Dr. Hayes had me back on the ice in a matter of days. Incredible…especially when I couldn’t even stand up without help! I also want to compliment the friendly and professional atmosphere of their office. Much appreciated.

My friends at Complete Spine and Wellness are simply "The Best".

I am an air conditioning technician which requires me to be in every possible position and often times very painful. I was referred to Complete Spine and Wellness by my primary doctor because I was having neck pain and numbness into my hands for 8 months. I was having a hard time grabbing tools and lifting things and it was tough to get through my workdays without pain. I saw Dr. Mary and she sent me for an X‐ray and MRI and I was finally able to see what my problem was. She set me up on the Decompression machine and within a few weeks the feelings in my hands came back. Within a month I felt back to normal. I am most grateful for her help because I am able to resume riding motorcross with my son on the weekends.

At Complete Spine and Wellness you'll find the best spinal care and the sweetest staff. I've been seeing Dr. Mary on and off for almost two years and she's amazing. My neurologist referred me to her and I was skeptical and a little nervous at first. I have way too many injuries to list and sometimes my doctors just can't find any easy solution. Dr. Mary and her staff are so kind and take the time to make you feel at home and allow me to walk straight again every time I leave.

I have had undiagnosed leg pain for over 25 years and too many specialists have come up empty handed. Dr. Mary took the time to do some research and testing and found the root of my problem and unfortunately it can't be fixed. But she's done her best to ease my pain and help me continue get through my days with as little pain as possible. Her gentle touch and genuinely caring attitude will keep me coming back. It's hard to find this level of care and service in any industry. If you have pain that won’t go away, please go see Dr. Mary Eberhart and let her healing hands ease your pain.
