Summit Health Group

Fantastic experience: Had a great first experience with the group. Very thoughtful interaction with staff and thorough set-up. Glad to have a doctor that is knowledgeable and so well supported.

Fantastic experience: This is a full service health care facility! Their chiropractor and physical therapy team is outstanding! I came in initially in alot of pain that my previous Chiropractor was ok, but this office gives you alot of value and valuable healing work that is putting me back together. They work with all types of patients ways of paying; health insurances and cash paying customers alike. After a month's time I'm already from an 11 pain scale down to a 2-3 depending on the day of the week, but I always leave from my appointment feeling better and more upright. I believe this doctor cares about the process, not as much with keeping you in there every week of the year. Each patient requires different treatments and time to recover.

Fantastic experience: Dr Shani and team are first class. The treatment they give to their clients is first class, both administrative and through medical care. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great doctors and physician’s assistants: intelligent, easy to speak with, and professional. And a very clean office!

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed an informative visit with Dr. Wilkes this afternoon. Was a 6 month check in to review bloodwork. Summit is a very efficient and patient friendly group.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Joe Lennon at Summit Health Group for some lower back issues. The office itself has a wonderful vibe—all of the staff are capable and friendly and the space is open and bright. Dr. Lennon is a warm and caring chiropractor and an excellent doctor. My back has improved immensely and I always leave his office feeling like a new person. I highly recommend Summit and Dr. Lennon!

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen some negative reviews about the membership fee and thought I should touch in that topic. You pay a one time yearly fee that is soooo worth it. NEVER have I ever been able to get a next day appointment at any other practice other than Summit. The front desk girls are so sweet and welcoming. I see Carrie Sadler who is an absolute blessing to the healthcare world. She truly cares about you and wants to do everything in her power to help get to the bottom of your ailments. I was having severe neck pain, made an appointment for the following day. She referred me to Dr. Shani for chiro tx. I was able to get an appointment the following day (today). I walked out of his office with zero pain. As long as I’m living in the area and Carrie is practicing I won’t go anywhere else. The whole team at summit is incredible.

Fantastic experience: Such a difference from my other experiences in care and in results from Dr Shani and his staff - my injury and situation were explained clearly. My treatments (so much more than other facilities) and prognosis were explained completely with a positive path to recovery. So glad to have found this group!

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome and welcoming staff. I was actually sad my time was up. Will definitely recommend to anyone in need of their services.

Fantastic experience: Very professional staff, they had help me with my back pain so much, I definitely recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Very clean facility as well as a friendly - welcoming staff. I saw Dr. Shani for my sciatica. I was in so much pain for weeks. My insurance didn’t cover chiropractic care. Dr. Shani is amazing! Like magician level. I don’t know how he was able to subside the pain with one visit. I had treatment for several weeks. All cured! Dr. Shani is so professional, warm and above all honest and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient at Summit for many years, and have always received exceptional care. Carrie Sadler, PA, is excellent and consistently exceeds my expectations. She genuinely cares about her patients and takes the appropriate time to explain patient’s concerns.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Shani and the gang are amazing and always provide top notch service whenever i see them. Can't recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Wilkes is very caring but also extremely diligent. Always analyzing the data and great advice.

Fantastic experience: Dr Wilkes has been my doctor for a while and his staff is very friendly. Dr Wilkes is very knowledgeable and trustworthy! I would absolutely recommend Summit Health Group to anyone!

Fantastic experience: My experience over the past several years with the Summit Health Group has been exceptional. The combination of a welcoming environment, friendly staff, and patient and knowledgeable doctors has kept me coming back. Dr. Wilkes and Dr. Shani are the very best. I would highly recommend this doctor's office to anyone seeking quality healthcare and a positive experience.

Fantastic experience: Summit has been my primary health care provider since they opened their office in Thousand Oaks. Their service’s & attention to patient care have made me a loyal patient/customer for many years. I utilize both sides of the office resources and participate in regular chiropractic services on a weekly based. I trust them with my medical/physical therapy needs!!

Fantastic experience: Kerri Lauchner is exceptional, always professional, ready to listen, methodically presents all health details with full understanding, offers options, better solutions, keeps me on track with preventative measures so I can have an active lifestyle! 5 star ⭐️

Fantastic experience: Dr Wilkes is a great listener, extremely thorough and professional. He always takes his time and goes the extra mile to resolve the problem. His front staff is always pleasant and they work with you for the times that are more convenient for you.

Fantastic experience: The Summit Health “team” has become trusted partners in my husband’s & my health care. They create a plan that helps treat your specific needs & lifestyle. We trust them fully & they feel more like family than your typical, stuffy drs office. As we get older, we joke that as long as there’s a fix for what hurts we’ll be fine. Summit Health meets that challenge every time!

Fantastic experience: Dr Wilkes has been our primary care physician for over 12 years now. He is patient, explains issues very clearly and is an amazingly compassionate doctor. I recommend him to all of my friends. You can go wrong with him on your side!

Fantastic experience: Summit is knowledgeable and comprehensive and they get results. 6 months ago I could barely walk. Now I don't even know I have a problem. They have all the latest technology and they stay current. Also, who does same day appointments these days when you really need a doctor? Well, they do. I trust summit 100% for all my healthcare needs.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had an appointment with Dr Shani this morning. Their offices have been flooded by a burst drain pipe in the Dermatology office above them. We were surprised to see how much damage had been done but pleasantly surprised to be greeted warmly by Dr Shani, Tim and his staff. We had our appointment as usual with first-rate attention to our needs. Don’t hesitate to return!

Fantastic experience: Dr Wilkes is what what any patient would ask for. He is knowledgeable, friendly and treats you with respect. His staff is very friendly and when you walk in, they make you feel welcome, a rarity these days. Chris

Fantastic experience: Dr. Husain is beyond Excellent in providing women's overall healthcare and well being. She doesn't just treat symptoms, she makes me feel cared about as a person. She is the kindest, most thorough and caring doctor I've experienced . I have never felt rushed or hurried. She listens attentively and patiently. She reassures and prescribes treatments as necessary. And she has the most warm beautiful smile and reassuring manner. The staff has been amazing; taking care of any/all insurance matters, scheduling, billing etc. willingly, expeditiously and so kindly. I have been impressed with how warm and welcoming i have felt from everyone so far at Summit Health. I highly recommend their care.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about Summit Health Group. The entire staff is caring, kind and very knowledgeable, starting at the front desk, to nurses to doctors. It’s a place where the staff seems to be really happy to be there. I’ve been having a bunch of health issues lately and they have been there at every step, checking in and making sure I’m on the right track. Today I called them with Covid symptoms 10 minutes before they were closing. One of the nurses offered to stay until I could get there to help the doctor to run tests. They ended up staying an hour past their closing on Friday afternoon in order to help me, and they did it with a great attitude. This place is priceless and I’m super grateful to have access to this kind of care.

Fantastic experience: I started getting all my medical care at the Summit Health Group at the beginning of 2021. I began using my Tricare insurance and I was assigned to Dr. Wilkes as my primary care provider. My physical check-ups have been thorough and professional. Referrals to specialists have been very timely, and the care I have received from them has been excellent. Both Dr. Wilkes and Dr. Sadler have treated me with great care and friendliness, and the entire staff is just as professional and courteous. Scheduling appointments and getting my prescription filled has been quick and efficient. I just had a full knee replacement and I am extremely thankful that they referred me to a great surgeon who diagnosed and treated me in a short period of time. Now I am back with the Summit Health Group for my recovery and physical therapy right there on their main floor. I’ve just had my first session and the therapist was very kind and impressive. There is a membership fee: $250.00 for me and $150 for my son, but I’ve never had a copay. I highly recommend this group of professionals and am completely satisfied with the care I have received.

Fantastic experience: Dr Donnelly Wilkes has been our primary health care provider for more than 10 years and has served us well. Carrie Sadler, Summit's Nurse Practitioner, provides most of my care now and she is excellent. The office is clean & has a friendly front desk team.There is an annual membership fee which I'mnot thrilled about but if it helps ensure I get an appointment within a day or 2 of calling, great care from the staff & smooth billing coordinated with insurance, it’s worth the cost.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been coming to Summit Health Group for way too many years to count, and it continues to be a privilege in every way. The Docs and office staff are a perfect blend of professional & personal. If you are considering this team of professionals, you won’t be disappointed. Paul & Mary Anne Alexand

Fantastic experience: Dr Wilkes and his team have provided me with exceptional health care. Having a strong medical team by your side is very important to me. Dr Wilkes and Summit Health are part of that team.

Fantastic experience: My husband & I have been coming to Dr. Shani for the past 3yrs. My husband had be told by 3 Dr's, back surgery! We tried this first & are so blessed. No back pain! Me, I had pain in my legs & neck. Now ok, and able to go back to the ladies gym. Everyone, at Summit Health Group are knowledgeable in their field & also every one makes you feel welcome. A most loving & kind environment. We recommend them highly, try them, you'll love them as we do. Phillip & Donna Viscomi

Fantastic experience: Yesterday evening, out of the blue my hip started hurting so badly I could hardly walk. I called and was able to get an appointment with Dr Shani. One visit and I feel 90% better. Thanks so much. Highly recommend this offic

Fantastic experience: This was my first time seeing a chiropractor, and my experience has been nothing but wonderful. Dr. Shani and the whole team are incredible. Everyone is so friendly. They truly listen and take care of your concerns and needs. I’ve been dealing with neck and lower back pain after my car accident and have seen and felt great improvement. If you need an adjustment, need help with pain relief, or simply need posture correction, don’t look any further and come see them!

Fantastic experience: Just gave 5 stars via Yelp but wanted to also give rave reviews here on Google, as Summit Health Group absolutely deserves it. They are the best!!! Carrie Sadler is incredible at what she does, is willing to listen with a very empathetic ear and doesn’t pass judgment on anyone. Her bedside manner is what all providers should strive for and from a patient standpoint is so very much appreciated! Doc Wilkes is awesome as well and it’s clearly evident that he loves what he does has passion/vigor and absolutely cares about his patients well being. I even love the staff as well. Thank you so much Summit Health Group for being so great you are truly appreciated.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at summit for a few years and have always felt like my medical need were taken care of. Recently I have needed to use the physical therapy portion of their services. I was paired with Daniel there and have never been treated by a more caring knowledgeable therapist. I’ve had back issues and many surgeries on my back, so I’ve become somewhat of an expert on this subject. You’ll not get better treatment anywhere then here with Daniel.

Fantastic experience: Carrie Sadler is kind, compassionate, and a great listener. That can be really difficult to find in a primary care physician, especially during a pandemic. Lindsay and reception has always been caring, thoughtful, and proactive. A great team!

Fantastic experience: There is everything to like about Summit health group. My physician is excellent, caring and thorough. They are well staffed. There is plenty of parking with lots of large shade trees which is a plus during the heat of the summer.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Doctor Shani for 20 years. When I moved here from Florida I didn’t believe in chiropractors. I decided to check it out with Doctor Shani and I have been going back ever since! Honestly I think he is a genius in the chiropractic world. I now have developed arthritis in my knee. I had pain every day and was taking Motrin to relieve the pain. I have had three sessions with him and his excellent staff, and my pain has subsided! Thank you Doctor Shy!!

Fantastic experience: The Summit Health Group is a great example of how a medical practice should be run. I had recently moved to the area and was in desperate need of a chiropractor. For several months I had been suffering with debilitating lower back pain that severely limited my functionality and quality of life. My online research found that they had spinal decompression so that clinched it for me. I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Shani. It turns out Dr. Shani has a way of getting to the root of the problem immediately and he set me up with a personally tailored treatment plan that concentrated first on relieving the pain and correcting the issues followed by a maintenance plan. The plan included spinal decompression and physical therapy with Dr. Tashman among many other cutting-edge options that are available here. It is amazing how Dr. Shani personally keeps on top of all of his patients and determines their current needs at each and every visit. His terrific assistants, Tim and Chandra, make sure all your needs are met with smiles and kind words. Also, Sierra takes care of accommodating your appointment needs. Insurance and costs are discussed up front so there are no surprises. And to top it off, the atmosphere is that of "Cheers - where everybody knows your name" and I feel like I am part of the family. And I always feel better when I leave than when I arrived. I am happy to report that my improvement has been nothing short of miraculous. I owe my recovery and current quality of life to Dr. Shani and the wonderful people at the Summit Health Group. They deserve much more than 5 stars

Fantastic experience: Thank you Summit Health for seeing me today. Dr Wilkes and his staff are so polite, efficient and so welcoming. After my hospital stay Dr. Wilkes wanted to have a follow up. He is never rushed always has time for all of my questions and I’ve never felt so comfortable with a doctor until I started seeing him. I couldn’t recommend his office more to anyone who needs and full service doctor, chiropractor or physical therapist. They are the best!

Fantastic experience: I’m picky about chiropractors. I was a collegiate runner and didn’t think anyone could replace my chiropractor from back east. Dr. Shani has done that and then some. I first saw Dr. Shani last year when I had injured my back. I was in some of the worst pain I’d ever felt, but after one visit with him my pain immediately subsided. After 2-3 visits I was back to normal and able to return to running again. I could not recommend him more!

Fantastic experience: I was first treated by Dr. Wilkes. He listened and asked me questions, wanting to not just understand my condition, but understand me. He explained my illness in detail and the various treatment options. He was both medically astute with up to date best practice and genuinely caring for me as a person. Dr. Wilkes can be trusted, for his knowledge, his experience and for the value he holds in treating his patients with the utmost care and professionalism. I have also been treated by Dr. Tashman and Dr. Shani. Both were of the same caliber as Dr. Wilkes. I value good bedside manner, but I really value doctors who know their area of expertise and then tailor it to best fit their patient. How amazing and helpful to have all these doctors, with different specializations, under one roof. They had face to face consultations about my condition, each bringing their expertise to help me. For one year previously I suffered with a muscle and nerve ailment that many other good doctors were not able to resolve. But through Summit Health Group, I have seen my body recover and am grateful for healing. I am also grateful for learning how to better care for my body from the doctors. I am very grateful for their unique healthcare design of weaving the three disciplines together for an optimum care of their patient. No one ever wants to go to the doctor, but if you do, Summit Healthcare, and more importantly, Dr. Wilkes, Dr. Tashman and Dr. Shani are the people I recommend you go to.

Fantastic experience: All of the staff are friendly, professional and caring. I completely trust Dr Wilkes with my health. His referrals are excellent as well. AND he takes time to listen. I feel like we manage my health together. I also had PT on site with great success.

Fantastic experience: I’ve gone to Dr. Shani for a long time. He really cares about his patients and has really helped me. I’ve used Dr. Wilkes for my family doctor for several years. He is excellent as well. You hardly ever have to wait. Imagine that! I’ve been using Dr. Dan for physical therapy for awhile. He is one of the best! Actually the best I’ve ever been to in all my 75 years. The staff and all the assistants are kind, caring, and very efficient.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE Dr. Shani's practice! He is a truly gifted chiropractor and uses the most cutting edge therapies on top of the adjustments - like so cutting edge that I don't even know all the names of what he uses but know it works. The receptionists are both so personable and caring and Dr. Waneka absolutely rocks as my new primary care Dr. This is a practice that has figured out how to integrate so much into helping their patients lead a healthier life. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for quite sometime and I have to say I love the family atmosphere here! The patient service is nothing short of amazing and the staff is always upbeat and helpful with a "can do" attitude. What I appreciate most about this practice is the fact that they focus on preventing health problems in addition to treating current problems and challenges. I recommend Summit to anyone who asks for a recommendation for a chiropractor and for a general practitioner!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Shani is always really positive and professional. Staff is friendly too. Review Update: I was unfortunate to break my clavicle bone two weeks ago. Dr. Shani, Dr. Lennon and the staff were very helpful. Actually not just helpful. First week after the injury, being very frustrated by pain and being not able to function normally, coming to the clinic was the highlight of every day. These guys and gals are not just professional and helpful, but also very friendly and positive. If being happy is huge factor in recovery then I can attest that Summit never fails to fulfill that part.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Shay Shani and Team do an amazing job. Several of my family members go see him and they love it. I personally think this office makes miracles. I've seen it myself. One day I took my husband that was having issues over the weekend and could barely move. When we left the office he was able to walk by himself and get into the car without any problems. Everyone there is really friendly and it's such of clean environment. I totally recommend it!

Fantastic experience: When a friend heard I was interested in stem cell treatment for my arthritis, he referred me to Dr. Shani‘s office. The office itself is clean and modern. I felt very comfortable and welcomed by all the staff who appeared to enjoy working there. I went forward with treatment and had several follow-up appointments all with very short wait times. It’s a caring office with a high level of service. I am very happy to have found them.

Fantastic experience: I have gone to various chiropractors since I was about 12 years old. I can sincerely say that Dr. Shani is the best one I have ever used. I first went to him in 2009 when I was pregnant with my second child. I have had many horseback riding injuries over the years and he is the only chiropractor that I ever found who could properly adjust me. One of the most important things he ever did for my family was in 2010 when he gently adjusted my baby who was suffering severely from colic. I still remember the smile on my baby’s face after that first adjustment and a look of “Why didn’t we come here sooner!" I am currently seeing Dr. Shani at his new location Summit Health Group. I love this place as it combines allopathic medicine under the direction of Dr. Wilkes. They offer primary care, chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, and other types of integrative medicine. I love that I can go to one place for all of my treatments. The other thing that I must mention is the amazing staff that Dr. Shani and Dr. Wilkes have put together. I have seen just about everyone for something at Summit Health Group and I can say with confidence that every single one of them is professional, talented at their speciality, and friendly. The office staff is easy to work with. When Dr. Shani is not available for chiropractic care, I have also seen Dr. Troy. I have always been nervous to see another chiropractor and frankly the first time I used him I was a bit nervous. Needless to say that was an unfounded worry, as Dr. Troy is also great! On the Primary Care side I have seen Dr. Wilkes several times for various reasons. I also saw him at his previous practice before he joined forces with Dr. Shani. He too is very professional and easy to work with. I have also seen Carrie Sadler, the Physician Assistant. She is great too. And for the past few weeks I have been going to PT for an old neck injury and have felt much better. I know this review is getting to sound a bit unbelievable and many might speculated that it’s a tad inflated. However, I felt compelled to write it as they have helped me so much over the years. I would not hesitate to recommend them!
