Nhi H.

I was hiking on Mt Tamalpais this past weekend trying to stay healthy, but still away from the mass crowd bc of this whole COVID pandemic. On my way back(probably 6 miles in) I started limping because my left knee was killing me! Saw Dr. Lee on the way out and he told me it was probably my IT band and asked if my low back was bothering me as well. How did he know? Actually, my back started stiffening about 3-4 miles into the hike. He told me his office was nearby and he was heading that way and wouldn't mind checking it out. I had a 1.5 hr drive back to SJ and really didn't want to do it in pain so I said yes, got to my car, pulled out my phone to checked if it was a legit business, and bam! That was that. I arrived about 40 minutes before his first patient. He did a few tests on me and confirmed it was my IT band that was way too tight and causing pain when I walked. He then did some pretty painful muscle work on it to loosen it up and then adjusted my low back and it felt SO good! Pressure and stiffness in my low back was totally gone afterwards. I walked around to test the knee and although it was still bothering me, pain had gone down by at least 50%(win!), I still felt it when walking but did not have a limp anymore. Dr. Lee gave me some advice and home stretches to further help with the knee pain. He was really nice and made me feel super comfortable. I will continue treatment with my local sports chiro, but am so glad I ran into him and grateful he took me in on short notice. Thanks Dr. Lee for being so informational and down to earth, if I lived closer I would definitely make you my chiropractor. Until next time!

Dr. Lee consistently spends 30min each visit with me, which is more than any other chiropractor I've been to. Initially I found him through my insurance company at his older practice and now that he's in an even nicer new office it's an even more pleasant experience. He's patient, kind, and takes the time to explain why my joints feel the way they do and, for me, how to minimize impact on my power back. Twice he's even shown me some exercises for the anterior pelvic tilt he diagnosed me with. Helpful care beyond just cracking a few joints!

Thanks for the mask Dr.Lee

I used to go to Dr. Lee when I lived in the area. He is very professional, incredibly kind, and all around amazing.

I have seen Dr. Wood on and off for over 10 years for sciatica. I was recently diagnosed with a…read morefissure in a lumbar disc that was crowding nerve roots and creating excruciating pain that radiated from my sciatic down my hamstring. He has a number of state-of-the-art tools and myofascial release techniques, instrument-assisted soft tissue therapies, manual stretching, and fascial release methods to help relieve tightness, pain, and improve flexibility. I had been feeling pretty lost and frustrated without clear guidance or someone I could trust to steer me in the right direction for rehabbing my back and alleviating the pain. I've been going to physical therapy twice a week, and it has done nothing for me. Dr. Chappy has been a lifesaver, and I am forever grateful for his help and expertise. I highly recommend Chappy Wood. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and can have you feeling better quickly.

I can't recommend Tanasi Chiropractic enough. Dr. Tanasi is fantastic -- thorough, efficient,…read moreknowledgeable, and genuinely great at what she does. I've also had several massages here with different therapists and have consistently had an excellent experience. Most recently, I saw Cassie for significant neck and back tension, and she was exceptional. Beyond being incredibly skilled, she took the time to understand what was bothering me, explain what she was working on and why, and recommend stretches I could do at home. She was thoughtful, attentive, and clearly invested in helping me actually feel better -- not just getting through the appointment. I left feeling noticeably better and have already booked another session with her. I've also seen Rosa, who was wonderful. You really can't go wrong here. Five stars all around!

I contacted Tinozzi with PT referral for IT band before treatment…read more This is the response: "I wanted to reach out to you regarding your insurance benefits we have found. We are an out of network office, so all coverage we have found is based on your out of network benefits. In your Anthem plan, you have a deductible of $50.00 which after your first visit with us it has been met As you have met your deductible, Anthem will be covering 80% of chiropractic and massage services. I have started to submit to your insurance and will continue to do so as you come in for visits. There will be a copayment which we will let you know once we hear back from your insurance. I would absolutely recommend having your first chiropractic visit with us. If you need any assistance scheduling an appointment please let me know. Thank you" . We went ahead and after several visits I was presented with an additional $630 bill for treatment. They had the referral and also knew shortly after of an issue but continued treatment without acknowledging it or asking for payment. Tinozzi did all insurance paperwork. If there was an error it was Tinozzi. BTW the treament called "scraping" had no effect except keeping my leg bruised for a month.

Dr. Strauss is a warmhearted healthcare professional. His demeanor helps put me at ease for each…read moresession, and working with him to schedule appointments (via email, for me) has been incredibly effective. Stress free. I've been seeing him for three months now, and my back is feeling much better after his adjustments. This last weekend I spent several hours doing yard work that, until recently, would have resulted in a sore back - or worse. But this weekend? Nada. I feel better all day and I sleep better all night. At first I was skeptical about seeing a chiropractor. But I can confidently say that I have been very impressed with my results under Dr. Strauss' care.

I got in an accident about two months ago and was all twisted up also because I have scoliosis but as he says I am one hard customer I don't adjust easily and the " almighty Strauss "finally adjusted my lower back and I straightened out that twisted look that had kept me from walking straight. Now I'm feeling good and I owe it to him. I never thought chiropractic adjustments would work for how messed up my back is. I would recommend him to anyone who wants an adjustment without the fluff and foo foo, Thank you Mark, I am eternally grateful. Also he will always make time for you, so an emergency adjustment, no problem, he's there.

I cannot recommend Montecito Chiropractic Center highly enough…read more After trying several chiropractors in California over the years, this is the first time I can genuinely say that I am completely satisfied--not only with the treatment, but with the entire approach to understanding and improving my overall condition. From the beginning, Dr. Altan impressed me with his professionalism, knowledge, precision, and attention to detail. What makes his approach so different is that treatment doesn't simply begin with an adjustment. There is a thorough evaluation first--including X-rays, posture analysis, spinal alignment, range of motion, the movement and position of the head, flexibility, and other assessments designed to understand what is actually happening with your body before deciding how to treat it. For me, that makes an enormous difference. I don't feel that I am receiving a generic chiropractic treatment; I feel that there is a real understanding of my individual situation and a clear purpose behind what Dr. Altan does. Most importantly, I can feel the results. My overall condition has improved, and for the first time after my previous experiences with chiropractic care, I truly feel confident that I am in the right hands. And I absolutely have to mention Tanya and Kenya. They are amazing. They bring warmth, kindness, professionalism, and genuine care to the office. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel welcomed and looked after. The combination of Dr. Altan's expertise and Tanya and Kenya's wonderful personalities makes the entire experience exceptional. I have already recommended Montecito Chiropractic to friends, and some of them have started going there as well. I would never recommend a healthcare practice to people I care about unless I truly believed in it. Dr. Altan, Tanya, and Kenya--you are an incredible team. Thank you for the professionalism, the kindness, the attention, and especially for making a real difference in how I feel. Without hesitation: five stars and my highest recommendation.
