Review from Alia D.
9/8/2011 11 Check-ins Here
Honest, Gentle and able to explain things to me in plain English. It's a bird, it's a plane, it's SUUUPER Dr. Murray! *insert fanfare* I did something to my lower back. It isn't good. I wish I had gone to Dr. Murray earlier when I first felt the initial discomfort. Dr. Murray is basically the preferred Western medicine doc at my gym (There's an Eastern medicine woman I love, see my El Segundo reviews). I don't have much time in my life. Nom noming, working, sleeping and a little play. I love my CrossFit and I'm a very depressed and sad person without it. I first noticed my injury at a time when I wasn't CrossFitting because I was traveling for work. Very long story short I finally came into see Dr. Murray and an MRI later Dr. Murray explained to me what needed to be done so I could get back to my happy place. Enough about me though.
Dr. Murray and his staff are top notch quality people. From the memorabilia around his office I gather that he treats everyone form the weekend warrior to the gym rat to people competing on a professional level. I'm really looking forward to getting myself back to, well, being me with him. He is very honest and upfront, he;s not trying to make money from you. He genuinely wants to help and teach you how to help yourself for the long run. I love people with that kind of outlook.
The office accepts some types of insurance. Visa and MasterCard are accepted. Their office is located on the corner of Yale and Santa Monica. parking at the meters is free before 9. The office opens up early at 7:30. One day, when I leave LA, I know Dr. Murray is going to be one of the things I will miss. -

Dr. Brendan Murray (or Gentle Giant - even though he's not that big - but he feels like he is when he manipulates my body) has been my Chiropractor for over 5 years.
Okay - that doesn't sound really promising. If you are seeing a chiropractor for that long without a car accident or body trauma as the cause for care, then your Chiropractor SUCKS!
But the truth is...if I were to do exactly as Dr. Murray instructed, I would have been long gone. I've just been freakin' lazy (or overwhelmed with work and opening a new business and renovations and moving and...I feel my back tweaking just typing this).
Over time, I have developed some bad habits at the computer desk and without the benefit of exercise, stretching and core work - WHAM - I am in pain and cranky all over again. Then the healing hands of Dr. Murray lay themselves gently on my neck, shoulder, back or leg and CRACK - joy fills my body again.
His motto is that he wants you to stay away. He has tried to rid himself of me, but my overactive lifestyle keeps me from utilizing the tools, exercises and reminders that can keep me well.
But, without Dr. Murray, I can assure you that I would be 4 inches shorter, hunchback, angry, maniacal and in constant discomfort. Wait a second, now I know what happened to Dick Cheney. -

The most important about Dr Murray. HE IS HONEST!!!!!!!!!
He is not there to get your buisness ... if he cannot help... he will tell you... and I LOVE and APPRECIATE THAT SO MUCH FROM A CHIROPRACTOR!!! If you have an injury of any kind... HE IS THE FIRST PERSON TO GO TO FOR ME. He is also so experienced he knows the prognosis and weather it is worth it or not to go to him.
I had a shoulder labral tear a long time ago and went to ask if he could help me avoid surgery... and he told me honestly that he could not do much about it, as this type of imjury did not respond well to chiropractic treatment... He TOTALLY WON ME! Where else would you find someone that is not after your money!!! Dr Brendan... I hope you never change!!!!!!! -

Insanely knowledgable, intelligent, and honest. If your injury is at all related to a muscle, bone, or joint, Dr. Murray is the first person you should see. He will help you if he can, and will refer you if he can not. He is just one of those rare, great people.

I have a stress fracture on my right foot and have no idea of what happened!! The doctor I have consulted with was such a d--k that I decided to drop him and look for a doctor who would follow up on things and help me find solutions.
Dr. Murray is treating a friend who has back problem and with nothing to gain from me, returned my phone call, spent time with me on the phone answering the questions I had about my issue, and told me to follow up with him as I went along with this fracture.
I recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, "professional" doctor who gives a damn about whether you're well or not.
On my way to review the original doctor (Dr. Gary Briskin).
