Chiropractor

Forrest Granzotto, DC

Dr. Forrest Granzotto received his Doctorate in Chiropractic, Summa Cum Laude, with an emphasis in sports medicine from Southern California University of Health Sciences in 2021. Prior to pursuing chiropractic, Dr. Forrest attended Sonoma State University where he received a BS in Kinesiology and at which time he was working as an independent personal trainer in his hometown of Santa Rosa, CA.

While training Dr. Forrest experienced an injury that would forever change the trajectory of his life. In his time of need a chiropractor, a hero, was there to help Dr. Forrest, and because of that moment, Dr. Forrest dedicated his life so that one day he can be that hero for someone else. Dr. Forrest's goal is to use his chiropractic sports medicine perspective and unique muscle work approach to provide the best possible care to people of all ages so they can live their happiest and healthiest lives whether it's through pain relief, optimizing their health, or by improving performance.

Dr. Forrest and his wife, Alex, reside in Rancho Bernardo with their two daughters, Joan and Caroline. Dr. Forrest's passion is golf. He has an extensive background in golf beginning before he could walk, then through high school, and later playing at the collegiate level. He has been a certified professional caddie, a high school golf coach, and an enthusiastic personal trainer for golfers. When Dr. Forrest isn't in the office or on the golf course he's volunteering with the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club and the Church at Rancho Bernardo. He loves spending time with his family and friends and enjoys exercising, road cycling, mountain biking, fishing, skiing, and watching the San Francisco Giants win.

Chiropractic Assistant

Kahea

I was born in the Bay Area and then grew up on Maui where I learned the power of the aloha spirit. After a childhood of year long sports, I pursued a Kinesiology degree and graduated from San Diego State University.

I have worked supporting chiropractors since 2016 after learning about the incredible benefits following a traumatic head injury. I have a son who absolutely loves basketball and wants to follow Stephen Curry's steps and play in the NBA. With three dogs, it's never a dull moment; so we enjoy spending time outside in the sun hanging by the pool. I also enjoy painting, helping friends and family, and going to workout classes at my local rec center.
