I’ve been a regular here for nearly 10 years after one of my good friends referred me to Dr. Verma and I’m so grateful he did! It’s the highlight of the week for me; from the great dad jokes to the immediate pain relief after each visit! When Dr. Verma goes on vacation Dr. Mylo has also treated me and they’re both very skilled at what they do and provide helpful guidance for decreasing my chronic back pain issues, which I’m very grateful for. Highly recommend them to anyone who’s looking for some holistic pain relief!
Dr. Mylo has been a miracle worker over several years and injuries! He’s gentle, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I always feel better after an adjustment!
I couldn’t recommend Oakbay Chiropractic enough. From the front desk and clerical team to Dr. Mylo Magtoto, everyone is kind, patient, and genuinely there to care for you. I don’t feel rushed or like I’m just another number cycling through.
They helped check my insurance coverage (they take lots of insurance plans), and their out-of-pocket costs are very reasonable. They offer massage too!
Mostly though, Dr. Magtoto really knows what he is doing. He is very knowledgeable and approached my issues in a holistic way without me even having to prompt him to. He’s also just very kind. I’ve been receiving chiropractic care for 15 years now, so I choose my chiropractors wisely, and this place is a gem.
I've been seeing Dr. Roverso for the past month to help me with some postural issues and frankly, too much time in front of a computer working. I've had chronic upper back pain and I had enough. I walked away after my treatments with a less pain. Dr. Roverso has helped me work through the chronic issues and I will say, I do feel a lot better through the adjustments and tissue work. It's been a game changer!
The location is convenient to access and parking is easy.
I highly recommend coming here if you have any pain or stiffness that you want to work through.
I love going to see Dr. Verma at Oakbay Chiropractic. My husband and I have been going to him ever since we moved to the area 4 years ago. And our son has been going to see him for over 15 years. Dr. Verma is really fun. He gets us laughing over his jokes, which I'm sure is part of the whole healing experience. He is a great listener, and really cares about his patients. Especially nice is that he is so mindful of the exact treatment methods that will best suit each individual client's needs. I feel very safe there and very well taken care of. In my particular case he doesn't do any of the loud "cracking" of the bones (the way chiropractors have treated me in the past), because that isn't what I wanted and he actually listened to me and took my requests seriously. The whole staff are super friendly and efficient. We are almost always in and out exactly on time, and there is virtually no waiting. We have never had trouble finding parking on the street. All the trees and flowers around the building make it feel like a little oasis in the city. I love having the option to make or reschedule our own appointments online, and he takes our insurance, which makes our actual out of pocket cost amazingly low! As a bonus, Dr.Verma has been a wealth of great information on the random topics I would ask him about, like where to get the best masala dosas, where to find the best beaches and tidal pools, where to find a good gym, or where to get a great haircut, all of which came in very handy as we were new to the area. I highly recommend Oakbay Chiropractic and Dr. Verma. On a scale of 1 to10, he's an 11.
I came in with a yearlong hamstring injury and major scar tissue buildup - Dr. Mylo is an expert in myofacial release and has completely worked out my scar tissue over a few pivotal months, which has allowed me to build back to running ultras again! Thank you Dr. Mylo!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Mylo for a few months and he’s been so helpful working on fixing my many issues. I also occasionally see Dr. Roverso and Dr. Verma who are also great!
Just realized that Ive been going here for over 20 years. Dr. Verma is super knowledgeable, is amazing at managing expectations and has awesome bedside manner. Every visit Im getting targeted care which and Ive always left feeling improved either immediately or in the following days. Dr. Verma also always gives exercises to do at home and educates on good positioning. I pay out of pocket and the pricing is not insane in my opinion. I highly recommend Oakbay to anyone looking for relief.
