Dr. Jason Groomer is a doctor of osteopathic medicine at Trilogy Health and Wellness in Monterey Park, CA.

At age 14 he was diagnosed with a degenerative spinal disorder and was referred to an orthopedic surgeon. The only treatment option given to his family was aggressive lower back surgery.  Faced with bleak prospects for the future, Dr. Groomer’s family sought alternative treatment through a chiropractor which incorporated physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, and a comprehensive nutritional program.  

Due to his childhood health struggles, Dr. Groomer decided to pursue a career path that would allow him to merge the progressive philosophy of chiropractic medicine with the strengths of conventional Western medicine.  This steered Dr. Groomer to earn a bachelor’s degree from UCLA in kinesiology. He then went on to achieve his Doctorate degree in Osteopathic Medicine.

Following residency, Dr. Groomer worked as an emergency room physician, and for the last 20 years, has worked extensively in the fields of physical and occupational medicine, and conservative pain management.  He has also served as a medical-legal consultant, and fierce patient advocate.
