People are recognizing the benefit of seeking an alternative to traditional medicine; one that will help them achieve and maintain optimal health. Please take the time to meet the doctor, team, and our wellness network dedicated to helping you achieve your wellness objectives. To fully understand the nature of your health we recommend you join our free website membership program.

About the Doctors

 

 


 

Dr. Amy Friedman

 

friedman.jpgDr. Amy Friedman is a 1993 graduate of the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, with pre-med undergraduate studies at Cal Poly Pomona and California State University of Long Beach. A California native growing up in the San Gabriel Valley, she was the youngest of five children to a Nurse and an Optometrist. She currently resides in Orange County with her Real Estate/Contractor husband Lance and three children, Asher, Jonah and Shay.

 

Dr. “Amy”’s introduction to chiropractic in 1985, at the age of 15, made such an impact that she decided to pursue a career in chiropractic from that time on. The philosophy of ‘natural health care’ means with procedures utilizing not only her intellect but her physical aptitude was extremely appealing. She grew up taking dance, piano, saxophone and art lessons as well as playing a multitude of sports including her favorite softball, volleyball and basketball. Not only was chiropractic influential on Amy, but her twin sister as well, who practices chiropractic in Diamond Bar and Chino Hills.

Post-chiropractic graduate studies include Activator low-force chiropractic technique, Leander technique and Thompson technique seminars as well as many other up-to-date chiropractic related issues and x-ray re-licensing classes.

Early on in her career Dr. Amy worked as an Associate Doctor in Corona Del Mar before joining Dr. Sandra Fazio at Fountain Valley Chiropractic in 1995. Upon Dr. Fazio’s retirement she took over the business and has developed a strong and positive team known as Amy B. Friedman Chiropractic Corporation now with the help of Drs. Aschenberg and Galambos. At this time, she enjoys working on a limited basis and having the flexibility of being a Mom to her three young children. She looks most forward to a practice in which her practice members are dedicated to their chiropractic wellness for life!

Following graduation, Dr. Travis has worked in both private and group practices providing effective, non-surgical relief for both minor and complex problems. Over the years he has successfully treated a range of patients from athletes, to weekend warriors, moms and dads to children and grandparents.

His purpose and passion is to achieve two very important goals.

And, more importantly, to create a state of optimal health and well being for every person, by inspiring and educating families about the benefits of a wellness approach to their healthcare. Together, a "chiropractic family" can achieve their life potential and share the rewards of a healthy life.

When not helping patients in the office, Dr. Travis enjoys spending time with his wife and son. Other favorite pastimes include golf and racquetball.
