The reason we saw Dr. Yoder was because it was very easy to book an appointment. Now we know why. He would put his new patients above all others without telling them and just have existing patients wait. The first appointment was ok, Dr. Yoder appeared caring and helpful; the sessions after spiraled downhill. Dr. Yoder has major boundary issues, he repeatedly made unsolicited comments about others, pushed his obsession with victimhood mentality, and told my children that they were traumatized and damaged during childbirth but he could fix that. Dr. Yoder is extremely unprofessional, having repeatedly and without our permission or warning shared his own unresolved complex identity crisis and life dramas, they were very cringeworthy and off-putting. We bought a series of sessions but couldn't finish using them because it was too stressful to see him. When we had seen him, we felt worse after. Dr. Yoder self published a book about himself. It's called 20 Beautiful Men. Wow! A best seller too. Total BS! ( photo attached ) read more

David Yoder Wellness Center - Dr. Yoder self promoted himself as 20 BEAUTIFUL Men. A best seller. Lol. - Chiropractors Near Me - ST AUGUSTINE, Florida

Dr. Yoder is a holistic chiropractor with one goal in mind- to heal the mind and body and the relationship between the two. From the moment I walked through David's door, I felt like I was in the most caring and professional environment. Dr. Yoder took the time to answer all of my questions and explain his approach to healing the body and mind. In fact, I learn something every time I'm in his office. Is he extremely knowledgeable and has a contagious passion for his research and findings. Dr. Yoder sympathizes with the fear someone can have due to poor adjustments with other chiropractors. He is gentle and very specific with his adjustments- always giving you a moment to breathe deeply and relax. Dr. Yoder isn't a "10-minute adjustment and done" kind of chiropractor. In fact, his treatment morphs along with the issues you're having. For example, when I went through an extremely stressful time, Dr. Yoder put headphones playing soothing music on my ears, red light therapy over my entire body, and a little machine that made me feel the bass on my diaphragm- all of this prior to my adjustment. When I had gut issues along with sciatic pain, Dr. Yoder mixed me a really nice probiotic and shook it up in a water bottle and handed it to me during our session. When I experienced work stress, Dr. Yoder helped talk me through my strengths and encouraged me to set boundaries. Many times I have cried in my car from exhaustion prior to entering his office, only to leave feeling relief with a warm smile on my face. I am really impressed with Dr. Yoder's services and continue to feel noticeable differences in my posture, mobility, and general well-being. I am endlessly grateful for his expertise and his commitment to helping me improve my health. I highly recommend Dr. Yoder (or Yoda as my friend and I call him- yes Dr. Yoder knows) to anyone looking for a holistic approach to chiropractic care. Thank you for your friendship, your professional attitude, and most importantly, thank you for the healing you bring to this world. I am grateful for you, today and always. read more

He has the most amazing leading edge bio-hacks that I feel like a kid in a candy store with all the amazing technology and gadgets he utilizes. Here are some of the additional modalities I've benefited from thus far : 1) Sound/sonic frequency body vibration plate 2) Vagus Nerve stimulator -Gammacore 3) Authentic crystal sound healing bowl 4) cupping/vibration device 5) Micro current point stimulation 6) PEMF therapy 7) pre-frontal cortex therapy 8)B.E.S.T. bio-energetic synchronization technique read more

He also does a lot of different healing modalities. Definitely recommend people to come! read more

This is truly a wellness center, Dr. Yoder is knowledgeable and compassionate. I was referred to Dr. Yoder for my anxiety, neck shoulder pain. My treatment the first day was thorough, and I wasn't expecting to feel any relief on that day. He used Gamma Care - non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator, which I purchased the machine afterwards.. game changer!! I was at peace, the mental fog lifted and the next day I had so much energy. I'm also working on other ailments and following all his suggestions and I'm grateful, the improvements in short time is amazing. I highly recommend coming here.. Thank you, Dr. Yoder !!! read more

Dr. Yoder is a miracle worker!! Not only is he a fantastic chiro, but he infuses western and eastern philosophies into his practices for a total mind, body and spirit approach to his work!! Cannot recommend him enough!! read more

Wow! What can I say about Dr Yoder? I just had my first session with him and it was incredible! He is very knowledgeable, sincere, kind, and helps you to understand what he's doing and why he is doing it. I feel like it's a great start to my treatment plan and am truly looking forward to my next treatment/session. He even helped me by emailing to me certain things that I can do on my own to help the process! After seeing so many different types of doctors, I finally feel like I've had a breakthrough and am going to be treated by the specialist that I've been looking for and needing. Thank you Dr Yoder! You are awesome! read more

After having been to at least 5 or more conventional doctors for having suffered debilitating chronic symptoms of pain, extreme fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, dizziness and more, I finally found relief after seeing Dr Yoder and doing vagus nerve therapy. The symptom relief came rather quickly, especially a huge reduction in pain relief. I also noticed after using vagus nerve therapy that my chiropractic corrections were holding for several weeks in a row unlike before. I've been very happy with the services of Dr. Yoder and would highly recommend him. read more

I was looking for a functional doctor who could guide me with my optimal well being. Dr. Yoder is friendly and his explanations are easy to understand. Every time I leave my appointment I am at ease. The liver cleanse has taught me that I use food to cope when I'm overwhelmed at work. I've learned to meal prep now and take care of my body. read more

What a great functional chiropractor! I stress "functional" cause Dr. Yoder is NOT your typical chiropractor. My treatment was the most thorough I've ever had with a chiro. Had a severe restriction in my neck and could barely look to my right. Had a significant change immediately after the first treatment, will definitely be going back. Especially with his rates. This is truly one of those doctors that makes it easy to get long term affordable care. read more

At first I was skeptical, but my family talked me into going to Dr Yoder as they have for many years. I mainly went because of a shoulder injury, but soon learned how my body was tight and inflexible. After a few sessions with Dr Yoder, I was feeling and sleeping much better. Now, I stretch before exercising and don't have all the aches and pains that I used to get. Dr. Yoder will help you feel better in a very short time. read more

I've gone to chiropractors my whole life, and Dr. Yoder is the best! His touch is just right...firm but gentle. He has a wealth of alternative therapeutic offerings/modalities, such as crystal bowls and light and sound therapy. He does a lot of research and always has good suggestions for my ailments. He can help set you up with lab tests and supplements as needed. He is my go-to practitioner for most everything health-related. Thank you, Dr. Yoder! read more

I agree with other reviews that describe Dr. Yoder as so much more that a chiropractor. In response to the unique stressors that our society is facing, Dr. Yode has taken a deep dive into exploring the wide variety of techniques to support the modern human body, especially the nervous system. Today I experienced a short session that involed gammaCore for my vagus nerve, frontal cortex stimulation and AVE ( Audio Visual Entertainment) and I left his office feeling like a new person. I went in feeling anxious and disorganized and left feeling Happy and focused. I highly recommned Dr. Yoder. read more

David Yoder Wellness Center - Best chiropractor place in SD! My lil bro approves! - Chiropractors Near Me - ST AUGUSTINE, Florida

One of the benefits and unwritten rules of being a chiropractor is that whenever one of us needs some spinal love we can just "pop' into a colleagues office and get straightened out as a professional courtesy. This was the case last week while I was in Encinitas, Ca enjoying the sun and surf. I walked into Phillips Chiropractic office and introduced myself as a fellow D.C. The friendly receptionist Flora led me though the clean busy office to a warm and inviting treatment room where I waited for the Doc. Dr. David walked in and welcomed me then proceeded to give me a very through and comprehensive evaluation and treatment. I left his office feeling great! I highly recommend Dr. David Yoder, he is a warm person and gifted Doctor read more

Not only Dr Yoder is a great chiropractor, he is also very spiritual. He uses a holistic approach to healing and always tries to find the source of the problem before just giving basic adjustments. i have been dealing with a bad lower back pain for a couple years, and he has given me many advices and exercises to strengthen my back. I have learned so much about how my body works since going to his office. I always feel better after seeing him. I recommended friends to him and i will keep doing it. If you're looking for a chiropractor, this is the place to go! read more

I know a lot of people who seek chiropractic care, alternative healing and all the other treatments we 'non-believers' like to mock. But here I am, with five (Yep! Five! Count 'em!) stars for Dr. Yoder. Without yammering on about my health woes, a visit to Dr. Yoder was my "Meh... what can it hurt" moment. Here is what I learned: emotions are coming out (health) or staying in (not-so-much-with-the-healthy). I bet, at this point, you can guess where mine are headed. After a full evaluation, Dr. Yoder was able to pinpoint my exact health issues and after one adjustment, I feel better than I have in two years. We now have a standing weekly date as I realize this is not a 5K but a marathon. Armed with a detox diet, whole-food vitamins and minerals, and a new lease on life, Dr. Yoder has truly helped me 'reboot' my internal hard drive, and revisit the path of healthy living. read more

Dr. Yoder has been one of my go-to resources for all things health and wellness related since I began seeing him 2 years ago at the recommendation of several of my patients (I was a practicing acupuncturist). Dr. Yoder is a wealth of information; he truly is a holistic practitioner with an abundance of tools in his toolbox. He has helped me immensely with my physical/emotional health these past few years - during my pregnancy and postpartum -and just as importantly, educated me on how best to take care of my family. He embodies what I value in a healthcare provider- he is caring, empathetic, intuitive, skilled, knowledgeable, and always staying up to date on the latest and sharing new ideas. And he walks the walk! Dr. Yoder has been instrumental in my own health journey and is an integral part of my and my family's healthcare team. I'm so grateful for all his help! Thanks Dr. Yoder!! read more

Dr Y has been in my life since right after my accident. He has made the most amazing changes in my life. He is not only a hands on provider, but he was able to use his BEST practice to help me explore the root cause of my physical pain. Clearing this has helped me to live a much better life! We work "together" on my health and this team approach has made a BIG impact on me. I have been seeing a Chiro since I was 9years old and I can honestly say no one has touch my life and helped me more the way Dr Yoder has done! He's a Pro and brings his healing energy into the space to help you be a better you! read more

One of my favorite doctors I've ever had the honor of working with. Dr. Yoder is an incredible man. He's not only a chiropractor, he's a true healer. He listens and builds personal relationships with his patients. His love and light he carries is endless. He's gifted with intuition, grace, and healing hands. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do in my life Dr. Yoder. God bless! read more

Dr. Yoder is an exceptional doctor. He pays attention to your needs and is very understanding. The energy his office has when you first walk is calming and a positive one. I went in for a hip/lower back issue and instantly felt better after I walked out. I also appreciate how he responds quickly to our calls when I need a last minute booking. We feel very welcomed, loved, and important when we walk into Dr. Yoders office. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Yoder for almost 15 years. He is the a compassionate and caring healer. He truly cares for his patients and I'm blessed to have him care for me. He is so much more than an wonderful chiropractor. He has helped regain curvature in my neck after a car accident years ago. He's helped me detox and achieve hormonal balance by giving me nutritional suggestions that have been successful. In addition to gentle adjustments of my spine that don't leave me sore afterwards, he's also helped me with past trauma and PTSD using the N.E.T. Method. If he can not help you himself, he has amazing referrals and loads of research and resources to share. I recommend Dr. Yoder to all of my friends and family. read more

I started seeing Dr. Yoder with my son when he was 2.5 months old. He was a preemie and was having terrible gas and reflux after breastfeeding. Dr. Yoder advised me on how to change my diet which totally changed my son's life: better digestion, less pain, more sleep. He also helped me find healing from the pain I experienced after the seperation from my son being in the NICU for so many days. As an added bonus, my healthier diet led to quickly shedding my post-pregnancy weight. We not only feel better as a family but learn so many new things to do for our kids (involving health, development, entertainment, etc) from each visit. I HIGHLY recommend a visit to Dr. Yoder if you are a mother who has "tried everything" or you "just don't know what to do about __________." I am confident that he will point your body and brain in the right direction!! read more

Dr. Yoder has been helping myself and kids for 5 years now. His approach is focusing on mind and body to help us live the best possible lives. read more

David Yoder is amazing. AMAZING. I moved to Los Angeles a few years ago and I STILL give out Dr. Yoder's card. For people who have whiplash or chronic issues (pain, digestion, etc) I tell them that he is worth the trip to SD. When in college, I had chronic fatigue and major sinus issues. He was the one who identified my gluten sensitivity and changed my life. When I fell and ended up with major whiplash, Dr. Yoder was the one who helped me through the pain and helped me recover. Dr. Yoder is not just a chiropractor, he is a naturopath and a holistic healer. He makes you feel like you're the only patient he is working with. He donates his time and energy until you feel healthy. Don't even consider another chiropractor. David Yoder is the best. Hands down. No competition. read more

I left feeling so refreshed. His practices are life changing!! It's like I'm a brand new person!

Dr. Yoder is my favorite doctor, and truly cares about everyones' wellbeing. I've been a patient of Dr. Yoder for 13 years! I've had neck and back injuries from sports and accidents, and on top of helping me with recovering, he is so knowledgable on healthy diets and exercises that have helped throughout the years. He is a thoughtful listener and passionate about maintaining a healthy mind and body. He's a true healer... thanks Dr. Yoder! read more

David was amazing and helped align me for the first time. I truly appreciate everything he did! I don't have anyone to compare him to, but his personality and knowledge he shared with me during the consultation was above and beyond what I expected. I will be coming back. Thank you, David! read more

I have gone to many chiropractors before but Dr. Yoder by far is the most complete and comprehensive doctor I have ever been to. I had horrible neck,ear,and jaw pain and after the first visit it significantly improved and I was finally able to sleep through the night. Dr. Yoder takes the time to listen as well as ask the right questions to get to the route cause of your issues. He is very knowledgeable of all things health and wellness and has wonderful suggestions and alternative modalities. I found a Doctor I trust and I am grateful for all of his help. Highly recommend giving him a call and setting up an appointment. Thank you Dr. Yoder!!! read more

Dr. Yoder is so much more than a chiropractor. He is a cross between a chiropractor and a life coach -- he looks at the whole person, assessing the physical complaints and considering lifestyle, exercise, nutrition and even bringing in culture, psychology and Chinese medicine to determine and treat the problem. Dr Yoder's chiropractic manipulations are top rate. He was able to make bones move in me that no other chiropractor has been able to do. Because he listened to us patiently and spoke so knowledgeably, we both felt at ease with him. After just a few sessions over the course of a week, not only was my neck back to normal, but I left with a more comprehensive understanding of my own health situation and specific exercises and practices to stay on track. As for my wife, her problems include recent tech-neck pain, chronic migraines related to sharp neck sensitivity, and a turned-in knee that has an impact on her hips, stance, and movement. We have seen tangible results, thanks to Dr. Yoder. Her posture, a lifelong issue, has gotten better, her knee appears to be less turned in, and even her gait reflects the work he did to get her hip into place. Dr. Yoder left us both with exercises and other health recommendations. We are not completely healed yet, but we can feel the difference!! Happily, we'll have another chance to be in Encinitas soon and look forward to continuing our treatment and experiencing Dr. Yoder's healing power once again. read more

I liked his approach, but did not feel safe. I think I might have experienced benefit if I had continued therapy with Dr. Yoder, but stopped after 4 sessions because of his lack of precautions regarding COVID-19. I followed several patients who were not wearing masks and Dr. Yoder was not wearing a mask (he wore a mask during my visit). When I inquired about it via email, he said that some patients do not want to wear masks. I will continue going to my upper cervical chiropractor because he requires patients to wear masks and to wash their hands when they arrive. I will consider returning to Dr. Yoder after the COVID-19 threat has significantly lessened. read more

We have been taking my poor little son to pediatric specialists since he was 4 weeks old. For years we have been in and out of doctor offices for a variety of health reasons. The same thing pay your $30 pay and try this and come back in if it doesn't get better. The last pediatric gastro-specialist said hmm I am not sure try the brat diet and if that doesn't give him relief then we want to upper and lower GI testing where they put him under anesthesia and go up with a camera to see what is wrong with his intestines. We heard about Dr. Yoder and at this time was desperate to give my son relief. Within a month of going to Dr. Yoder we finally found out that my son has so many food sensitivities. We eliminated all the food sensitivities and visit Dr. Yoder for regular check ups. FINALLY my son's pain and symptoms have subsided and when they arise again we know what is causing it. We felt horrible that my son suffered for so long and his regular doctors and specialists didn't help. Dr. Yoder takes his time to explain answers to your questions, explains how the body heals, has helped my son so much and made a huge difference. Dr. Yoder is quick to reply to questions, quick to get you into a visit, caring, and supportive. My only regret is that we didn't find Dr. Yoder sooner. I highly recommend Dr. Yoder's office to all our family and friends. Thank you Dr. Yoder. read more

Dr Yoder is one of those people who genuinely cares about the patients he serves. I really appreciated how thorough he was in identifying the emotional, biochemical, physical triggers that presented in issues I was having. He covered so much and educated me on many different topics in the one hour. I will definitely be seeing him as my regular health advisor and I will also be bringing in my son as well! So happy I found a doctor I trust!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Yoder's for over 5 years. I consider his knowledge, skills and intuition to be comprehensive and cutting edge...I learn something new and valuable with each visit. I especially appreciate the caring and compassionate attention I receive in this office.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Yoder! He is versed in so many healing modalities which he blends with intuitive ease. Deeply committed to restoring his clients' wellness on body-mind-spirit levels, Dr. Yoder is a valuable resource for what ails you. I have seen him for emergencies and on-going support, and he has always surprised me with his accurate diagnosis and targeted treatments. I just saw him yesterday for some acute pain and experienced an almost radical improvement after just one session. read more
