Chiropractors working together for success
Four local chiropractors in the Santa Monica area have teamed up in an effort to better serve people in the beach communities of Santa Monica, Malibu, Venice, Marina del Rey, and surrounding areas.
Doctors Michael Dorausch, Luke Cohen, Ken Gee Ehrlich, and Brandon Takahashi have continued an organized effort to see that members of the community are getting the best chiropractic services possible.
The Santa Monica area gets a heavy amount of automobile traffic and it can significantly affect one’s ability to not only get to the chiropractor’s office, but to get around town, get to work, the gym, or nearest Starbucks.
All four doctors are chiropractic patients themselves and they discovered that trying to get across town during busy hours can become a serious pain in the neck. The group decided to do something that is virtually unheard of, especially in a field that can be so competitive. They decided in order to best serve people in the community they would make patients aware of the other three doctors in the area so that patients had the choice not to drive so far if that was an issue for them in getting chiropractic care.
So far the service has been working terrific for the patient’s as well as the doctors. Dr. Luke Cohen, a Pacific Palisades chiropractor, has referred a number of patients to Dr. Dorausch, who is the one practicing the furthest south, he is a Marina del Rey chiropractor. Dr. Cohen made the referrals in each case after patients made comments about traffic getting to the Palisades area from where they lived or worked in Westchester, El Segundo, or other local areas. What has happened as a result is that Dr. Dorausch ended up referring a number of new and several existing patients, most of whom were living in the Malibu or Thousand Oaks area, to Dr. Cohen’s office.
The other doctors have been having similar experiences. Together, the group has found that they’ve actually been able to take care of more people more efficiently than they would have without communicating with each other. About the group effort, Dr. Mike Dorausch said “you cannot out give the giver.” Dr. Dorausch went on to say “there are many people in the Los Angeles area seeking good chiropractors, and all four of us have shared that experience at one time or another. These are the doctors we use when we are seeking chiropractic care for ourselves or our family members. I am totally confident and comfortable referring to any of these three chiropractors, they are the best in the area.”
Dr. Brandon Takahashi, a West Los Angeles chiropractor, is a graduate of Los Angeles Chiropractic College. He lives in the Brentwood area and practices in West Los Angeles, on 11340 W. Olympic Blvd. Drs. Ken Gee Ehrlich, Luke Cohen and Michael Dorausch are each graduates of Cleveland Chiropractic College (the Los Angeles campus). Dr. Ehrlich lives in Playa del Rey and practices at 11945 Santa Monica Boulevard in West LA.
