Proudly serving Palos Verdes
In a world of assembly-line clinics, we've built something rarer—a practice where every patient is known, not numbered.
Your appointment time is yours. No one-hour assembly lines—just focused, attentive care.
Clear explanations, honest expectations, and no surprise bills. You're always in the loop.
Conveniently located in Malaga Cove Plaza—easy access, easy parking, right in your community.
We remember your name, your history, and your goals. This is a practice, not a transaction.
I've been to several chiropractors over the years, but Dr. Dounies is the first one who really took the time to understand what was going on. My chronic back pain has improved more in a few weeks than it had in months elsewhere.

After my car accident, I was worried about recovery. Dr. Dounies was patient, thorough, and genuinely cared about my progress. I'm back to my normal activities and couldn't be more grateful.
