One of the best Cairo's in San Francisco and there are many, but, Ms. Berkeley uses her skills with precision

Dr. Barbara Berkeley has been my go to health advisor for decades. Her treatments extend well past basic chiropractic adjustments and she always takes the time to listen. Her holistic outlook and suggestions have truly healed me when other doctors simply wanted to give me a pill to treat my symptoms. Her office experience is warm and welcoming and a pleasure to visit. She is a fabulous healer and resource and I'm grateful for having her as my chiropractor. read more

this non genius kept ignoring my descriptions of my body. telling me to go down the street to Scarlet Sage and "get an amulet"... zero empathy or *listening* skill- when i realized to go and get blood work, boom- landed in 2 years of medical tests because Real Things Were Happening. Shame on her. the most sexist woman practitioner there is in such a progressive city. if you are sensitive and introspective as well as assertive, please do not let her gaslight you out of her own inability to 'clock' symptoms above her pay grade. read more

I used to live in the city for many many years and barbara berkeley is one of a kind! I should've written a review sometime back, but I'm getting to it now. She is intuitive, thoughtful, kind, and really knows how to take care of you. Not only does she take care of your body, but she takes care of your mind as well. She's a lovely wonderful human being and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. If you have any needs, you should definitely give her a visit. You'll be so glad you did! read more

Dr. Barbara Berkeley is one of the most gifted healers I have ever met. She is thorough in her evaluation; compassionate and intuitive in her treatment; and delightful to work with. She believes in empowering her patients to take control of their healing process and provides you with exercises and handouts to help you take care of yourself. I have gone to her with neck, shoulder, back, knee, ankle and hip pain (all at different times) over the past two years and I've been amazed by the results. No review would be complete without the mention of how professional and courteous her staff is. Franklin (the weekday office manager) and Dale (the weekend office manager) are a pleasure to work with and they always call or email me promptly when I leave messages. Lastly, I love the space itself. Its an old Victorian building that is well maintained and clean. My only reluctance in leaving this review is the fear that she will get too busy for me to get in to see her! So glad I found Dr. Berkeley and you will be too! read more

A friend of mine referred me to Barbara Berkeley claiming she was the best Chiropractor he's ever been to. I have been to many Chiropractors in the past who milk you for your money and ask you to return for check ups week after week charging your insurance hundreds of dollars per visit and collecting your co-pay only to do minor adjustments. I've been having neck muscle spasms, a pinched nerve for the last two weeks, and have been dealing with shoulder pain (desk job) for a year. I've been getting Trigger Point Massages and seeing an Accupuncturist, but have still been dealing with pain. Desperate for resolve I decided to give Dr. Berkeley a try even though she is out of my insurance network so I had to pay out of pocket (thankfully with my FSA account). It was worth every penny. Her office has convenient street parking, it's in a gorgeous SF building. She was extremely friendly, kind, knowledgable and straight forward. She not only instantly adjusted and removed my neck pain, but worked on areas I didn't even know were injured! One hour later I walked out of that office with a brand new body. She left me pain free, with great tips and advice on posture and form, a book suggestion, and some homework. I feel that not only did I gain back mobility but valuable knowledge that will help me prevent injuries in all other areas of my body. She also doesn't pressure you to come back for a follow up - only, "come back if you feel you need to". She's in it to heal people not steal from them. Five stars all around! read more

Miracle worker. Dr. Berkeley is amazing at what she does. She's not just a chiropractor, but also a whole body healer. She can touch my wrist and know exactly what will put it back in line. I've gone to her for everything from wrist pain to severe leg pain and I've walked out (maybe even skipped) feeling fantastic every time. Barbara is also an all around great lady. She's part therapist and part ergonomic consultant. Go see her. You won't be sorry. read more

Barbara Berkeley is one of the most amazing, compassionate healers I have ever been to. I have been seeing Barbara for over five years and she fully focuses on my treatments no matter how long it needs to take. She follows up as required by email and never adds charges for this! I have never left feeling shorted and she has always been gentle and yet right on target with her health advice. She has helped me reshape my body and my diet. I have staved off repetitive strain with her healing treatments and excellent advice; and when my back failed to improve after a few appointments, she sent me off to a Western doctor for a thorough examination. She does not shy away from referring me out, nor does she ever pretend she can fix something she can't. EVERY SINGLE time I see her, I feel rejuvenated and nurtured. I love her office, and both front desk dudes (Franklin and Dale) are delightful. I truly think you can't go wrong by going to Barbara! read more

I have been going to Barbara Berkeley for years, seriously I have no idea how many, maybe 7? I've had a frozen shoulder, a banged up knee and just general neck and back pains. Every time I go to her she spends time catching up on what's going on in my life. I feel that I have her complete attention. She even makes me feel special. Then she adjusts my whole body, whatever needs work. She has a great way with patients. She's very soothing when I'm stressed out. The best part is that within a day or so I feel soooo much better. I don't know how she does it but it works great for me. Franklin is the receptionist and he is also exceptional. read more

Highly skilled, endlessly curious and amazingly effective. She's constantly learning and trying new and often intriguing techniques and vetting all sorts of health practioners, from the conventional to the unusual, so she can have good recommendations for patients. Dr. Berkeley is also a great complement to and can support a conventional treatment you may be undergoing concurrently. I often ask her to help me guide my physician. read more

I spoke to Dr. Barbara on the phone and she soooooooooo good. she almost healed my back pain on the phone by telling me that it is not a big deal and not to worry and she will be happy to talk to me and or see me if i need her. you know what??? i just got my xray results and she was right i only needed exercise but i am going to see her anyways just because she is the BEST. read more

Barbara has been my chiropractor for 14+ years! Her skills as a chiropractor are extraordinary. She lives an 'each patient is unique' approach. Barbara's personality and caring manner is like an adjustment before the adjustment. I feel taller, stronger, and more balanced when I leave her office. I think I'll make an appointment! read more

Dr. Berkeley is a true healer. A great listener, keenly observant and an encyclopedia of knowledge. One of the best health practitioners I have ever worked with. read more

Dr. Berkeley was just amazing! I went there last week as I woke up with the worst neck pain. She was able to squeeze me in on my first visit even though she was fully booked for the day . I walked in, she listened to me and asked me general questions and then gave me a message and cracked my neck a few times. No use of machines, just her hands. Then next thing I know my pain was pretty much gone... And within hours I healed completely. She is an amazing chiropractor, extremely informative, she listens to your needs and has healing hands unlike others that just put you in a machine, won't listen to you don't do anything about your pain! read more

You know that legendary Dr. who is kind, funny, listens well, cheerfully cares for you and seems truly passionate about her work? Dr. Berkeley is that doctor. Unlike some Chiros she is not a scam artist. She will set expectations fairly about what kind of results you can expect and how many appointments it should take to get you there. She will use a holistic approach to heal you, usually more quickly than you think. She uses common sense, nutritional supplements (judiciously) and massage and adjustment to get you back in form. She is knowledgable about a lot of aspects of medicine, and will refer you appropriately when your problem lies beyond the scope of her expertise. I know about 5 or so people who see her and all actually look forward to our appointments. How many docs can you say that about? read more

Dr. Berekeley is great. Knowledgeable, informative and an amazing healer. Don't have much to say as everyone else seems to echo how I feel. Wonderful woman!!! read more

Best experience with any medical professional ever. Her office is very warm and welcoming. Her office personnel are very attentive. She gives you so much useful information on how to not come back and see her. She has the experience and knowledge to give you the best treatment you can get. She is amazing! Cannot wait for my next visit! read more

In addition to being a terrific chiropractor who manages to effectively treat my various spine and back pain every time I see her, Barbara's vast skills also extend to giving me informed guidance on other random ailments in my life. She recently helped me get my bad breath under control after years of other failed treatments (did I just confess to thousands of people that I have bad breath?). Well, I don't any longer so there! Thanks Barbara! read more

Barbara is THE ONLY chiropractor in San Francisco that you should go to. She has worked on my body for over 30 years...sporadically of course. Whatever is wrong, she fixes it. As others have documented, she is a gifted healer, and everyone who has been treated by her knows it. Her breadth of knowedge is phenomenal...she is truly a holistic healer. My advice: when you go to see her tell her EVERYTHING...she will become your primary medical provider....she is that good. read more

thank the goddess for Barbara. Always right on in her diagnosis and gets me back on track. Pricey but worth it.

Dr. Berkeley is so amazing I almost don't want to review her. Since she is a believer in coming in when you need to instead of signing up for thrice weekly appointments for the next few months like a lot of chiropractors, I usually need to get my appointment on the fly. But even if I have to wait for an appointment, it will still be amazing. The woman has magic hands that always leave me feeling like a new person, one who isn't nearly as likely to lay around on the sofa whining. And beyond just her skills as a chiropractor, Dr. Berkeley's manner is also just amazing. I feel more comfortable telling her things than my best friend, and she always manages to remember and ask follow-up questions later. She really is just a positive force for good. read more

"Barbara is the best hands on chiropractor in the city! She combines ART, Soft Tissue, and the usual chiropractic adjustments in one session." read more

Barbara Berkeley is the only chiropractor, out of the dozen I have seen in my life, 50+ years, who hasn't hurt me. She is very careful and very effective. I've gone to her for over 20 years (and in the meantime thought i could save money by going to discount people, always a mistake to cheat!). Now my husband and son also see her. She has also a wealth of information about alternative treatments and seems to know everyone in town. She is a very nurturing person and very patient. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Barbara Berkeley is My Hero. I have worked the same job for over 11 years now. A little over two years ago I injured my back real bad. From the MRI I was suggested surgery from the doctor that requsted the MRI. I was highly advised not to have surgery by my friend who is a professional athlete. I'm very thankful of my friends advise not to have surgery but more thankful of his advise to see Dr. Barbara Berkeley. With in four visits she made a huge difference. If it where not for her I know I would still be out from work due to this injury. I am more than grateful for what she has done for me. Thank you Dr Barbra Berkeley read more

Treat yourself to a double appointment for some in-depth therapy. I walk out of her treatment room in a Zen state and everything just feels sooooo aligned. Head with body, body with being, being with Universe. read more

I do think Barbara is a healer. She is an excellent chiropractor and has tailored my treatment every time I visit her. She also has worked with me over the past year and a half to heal my body after major surgery in 2007. I can't imagine the past year without her help and guidance. I always look forward to my appointments, and I always leave feeling renewed on many levels. read more
