History

Established in 1994.

At our La Jolla and UTC based office, our chief concern is your well-​being. Some chiropractors promote the idea of long-​term or ‘maintenance’ care, in which patients are encouraged to have routine chiropractic manipulation treatments, ostensibly for the purpose of prevention of injury or illness. Dr. Berkoff is not one of those chiropractors; he believes that ‘maintenance’ care fosters dependency and promotes a scientifically invalid premise. We are ‘holistic’ but not in the sense that we dispense potions or dabble in esoteric forms of healing. Rather, we approach the care of each patient with the understanding that the doctor-​patient relationship is built on several factors, including respecting our patients’ time, privacy, needs, expectations, and wallets. It is our chief concern to see to it that our patients are provided the highest level of service and integrity that we are able to offer.
