“I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Hoy and the entire team at Concussion and Spine Center. From the very first visit, I felt truly listened to, supported, and cared for in a way that is rare in healthcare.
Dr. Hoy is exceptionally knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly and thoughtfully. His approach is comprehensive, intentional, and patient-centered--focused not just on treating symptoms, but on understanding root causes and creating a clear path toward real, lasting improvement.”

“After my concussion, I was dealing with persistent symptoms that lasted for months and would not correct on its own — a constant sympathetic “buzz” feeling, vision that would blur in busy environments, low HRV, poor sleep, and an inability to tolerate exercise without crashing afterward. Simple things like jogging, playing basketball, or even being in visually complex spaces became difficult, and I had no idea how to recover on my own. From the first evaluation, Dr. Hoy clearly understood what was happening neurologically and gave me a structured plan with specific exercises, threshold-based activity guidance, and clear progressions rather than vague advice. My visual processing tests went from a D range to an A range, and I’ve fully resumed normal activities and exercise. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Hoy to anyone dealing with post-concussion symptoms — he combines real expertise with a practical, encouraging approach that helped me get back on track.”

“Dr. Hoy is fantastic! He connected with us as a family which is not the typical healthcare environment. He has a very friendly demeanor and we enjoyed every office visit. Once we established a baseline, he educated us on the principles of managing our daughters concussion and established clear guidelines for return to play and school. He also did an amazing job managing her neck injury which often goes unnoticed with patients who sustain concussions.
We would 100% recommend Dr. Hoy to anyone looking for a great chiropractor or concussion management specialist!”

“What struck me immediately was how thorough the evaluation process was. I had seen other providers since my injury, and while some were well-meaning, the testing felt surface-level and incomplete. What Dr. Hoy conducted was a different experience entirely. The assessments covered multiple systems — balance, vision, cognition, coordination, symptom tracking — and it was clear that this wasn't a checkbox exercise. It was an actual investigation into what was happening in my body and why. It's worth noting that many of these tests are not typically performed by neurologists, which surprised me. I didn't expect this level of comprehensive functional assessment outside of a traditional neurology setting, and honestly, it exceeded what I had received in those settings.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Hoy! After months of pain and seeing so many doctors, he was the only one who correctly diagnosed and treated me. On top of that, he’s amazing at treating concussions too! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, takes the time to listen, and truly cares about his patients. Hands down the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. I also love that there’s a physical therapist in the office as well! Everyone who works here is very friendly and helpful. It’s wonderful!”

“Before receiving care from the SoCal Concussion and Spine Center, I was dealing with highly disruptive post-concussion symptoms, including severe neck pain, headaches, and light sensitivity. As a student, this made studying and daily life incredibly difficult, and I did not see any improvement in my symptoms until I began treatment with them.
Since beginning treatment, my headaches, neck pain, and light sensitivity have become much more manageable, and I feel much more able to return to activities that I enjoy and are part of my daily life, like reading and working on screens, and playing video games. I believe that, within a few months, I will see total recovery and a return to life before my concussion.”

Dr. Hoy evaluated and is treating my son after he experienced a concussion. Having already been to two other concussion rehabilitation practitioners that were just geographically too far away, we came into the appointment with a little bit of knowledge from the other doctors. Dr Hoy's approach is thorough and includes addressing any needs by strengthening multiple areas with the goal of coming out with a rock solid outcome.
Both my son and I feel confident and so encouraged with his treatment plan, which includes in-office treatment, at home exercises and nutritional support suggestions. Also Dr. Hoy took his time to explain the testing he did on my son as well as the results. He is a pleasure to work with, and his front desk was friendly and efficient.

“Dr. Hoy is somewhat of a rarity this day and age. He's a truly caring methodical professional. My wife and I both have had treatment that has been impeccable and got us out of pain. He's spent time loosening tight muscle with heat, massage, stem as well as making the necessary adjustments with a firm yet gentle hand. Finding a chiropractor like him has been wonderful. If you are suffering and in pain I highly recommend you see Dr. Hoy.”

The office staff is so welcoming and organized. The new facility is state of the art. Dr. Hoy has made a huge difference for myself and my wife.”

“You can really tell Dr. Nick Hoy enjoys what he does and it shows. He takes the time to get to know your injury and comes up with the best plan for you. He takes the time to thoroughly explain everything he is doing and why, and has a plethora of state of the art equipment at his disposal to ensure you have the best chance of recovery. Would highly recommend this office and his services.”
- Matt D.
“I've been seeing Dr. Hoy for chronic neck and back pain following a car accident for nearly 2 years. Nothing I had tried gave me any relief, initially I needed to come in a few times a week and now it is a few times a month. I have such a better quality of life and I honestly could not recommend someone more highly! Dr. Hoy is always looking for new techniques and technology to help get you out of pain, he truly cares about his patients!”
