THANK YOU Dr DOODY FOR RESTORING MY POSTURE!! at age 76, over the course of a few years, my posture had gotten worse & worse without me noticing it, until my back hurt every time I went for a walk. Then it hurt to stand straight & I feared correct posture could never be restored. This is No way to spend my later years on the planet! Thankfully, Dr Doody created a 5-6 month plan for me (2x visits a week & a few simple exercises at home), & I followed the plan. I am beyond thrilled to say that today, I easily stand tall and enjoy walking 5-6 miles a day. If I don't keep up my simple warmup routine, my lower back may remind me with a twinge, & I will stop my walk & perform a few spot exercises that alleviate the pain & keep my body going - with joy! To me, this has been like a miracle, giving me my Freedom and Joy back. Kayla and the professionally-run office make it easy to "do the right thing" and be restored to health & vitality. What a Great Team! read more

I have had a 100% positive experience at Harvard Sq Chiropractic. I alternate between Dr Doody & Dr Bradshaw, depending on whose schedule meshes better with mine on a particular day. Both are great chiropractors. I especially appreciate Dr Bradshaw's energy. I have nephews his age. He is very knowledgeable, listens to your needs and quickly applies the best solution. read more

The quality of care is top notch, Dr. Patrick is very competent, knowledgeable, friendly and interested in you as a patient and a person. The office staff are efficient, friendly and it is easy to schedule an appointment especially through their online website. The program verifies your appointment and send you a reminder text 2 hours before your appointment. read more

Convenient location, easy parking, super easy to book online, comfortable office, ..... And the best Chiropractor(s)

I highly recommend Dr. Patrick Doody at Harvard Chiropractic. Dr. Doody is, without doubt, the best chiropractor I have worked with. Upon our first meeting, Dr. Doody immediately identified my muscular and skeletal "problem areas," and developed, and has executed on, a therapy strategy plan that has resulted in a significant increase in my mobility and a decrease in my pain. Dr. Doody is kind, responsive, and understanding, and my experience with Dr. Doody has been consistently been excellent. I can think of no better Chiropractic therapist in the Boston area. read more

Sabrina Diaz is by far the best chiropractor I've ever been to. In just one session, she was able to help me majorly alleviate my lower back pain. I already have booked another session. She is professional while being polite and friendly, making sure I was comfortable the whole time. She is clearly an expert at what she does. The office manager, Kayla, is also really helpful. Overall it's a wonderful place and I will be a frequent customer! read more

Beautiful office space with professional and talented doctors and staff. The best of the best!!! read more

See all

Chiropractic sessions with Patrick has been super helpful. And Patrick is a nice guy to converse with.

Relieved my lower back pain very quickly and provided a realistic path to recovery that was holistic and not just adjustments.

Loved my visit with Dr. Diaz, her profile boasts speciality with female athletes, and she did not disappoint. I went to her with a sports injury and she was thoughtful, thorough with her techniques, and it was just overall a great experience. Highly recommend Dr. Diaz read more

Not quite sure if what i have can be treated ,..... so far i had a few sessions. I say maybe a 4. I am still in tx. The doc is friendly and willing to help my issue. (; Convenient location! Dpatnod Harv Sq Lic Ac. read more

Such a great experience always, Patrick Doody has been such a great chiropractor and makes fun conversation while helping me fix chronic pain. The staff are all amazing, the atmosphere is relaxing, and I'm so grateful to have this level of care! read more

I've been seeing Pat for a few years now and it has been a pleasure from the very start. He is easygoing, a great listener, and attends to whatever is ailing me that week. I have an S curve / scoliosis which brings on a host of other complications, and I am also one year postpartum. Pat has helped me navigate all the stuff that comes with that, gives me examples of exercises to do at home, and does it all in a super nice, nonjudgmental way. Our appointments are brief but he makes sure all my concerns are addressed. He's also great to talk to so it often feels like I've had a bonus mini therapy session while getting my adjustment. I'll be moving soon and will definitely miss seeing him every week! Other things to note - his office is clean and conveniently located in the Square and his staff is lovely and accommodating. read more

Dr. Doody helped me recover from a back injury in no time. I am so glad I went to see him right after I tweaked my back badly. I could barely move/walk, and right from the first session with him it made a huge difference. Saw him few times since and it expedited my recovery, no doubt! read more

Ladies, do not go to this chiropractor. I had a low back issue and while doing chiropractic the doctor moved the waistband of my leggings down quite low without asking permission or even saying anything. nothing was revealed but this was unprofessional and inappropriate. read more

I love Dr. Doody and Harvard Square Chiropractic. I found his office because they were covered by my insurance and he also practices the Graston Technique. 4 years later and I see him twice a month. He's kind, efficient, effective, and very willing to work with insurance issues. Couldn't recommend more highly. read more

I've been going to this chiropractor for a few years now, and have only great things to say about them! As a sloucher with years of built up bad posture issues, I've been to many chiropractors and Patrick is one of the nicest and most communicative medical professionals I've worked with. read more

Super professional, able to address any problems

I would always recommend Dr. Doody for anyone struggling with any pains. He works with you to find a solution and helps you follow through with it. read more

I am so grateful for the amazing massage I had with Sabrina! I've had severe back pain for over 6 weeks (with minimal success with muscle relaxers and pain killers). My doctor recommended alternative methods of pain relief and mentioned finding a licensed massage therapist. I was able to get an appointment quickly (within 2 days of my call). I was nervous because of how acute my pain was but Sabrina talked with me prior to the massage and put me at ease. I really appreciated that she explained what she was doing, checked in to make sure I was okay/still breathing, and providing education on how to prevent my current level of dysfunction by adjusting my lifestyle and activity. She was thorough and prepared me when something would be more uncomfortable (in a good way!). I can finally walk normally, stand for a decent amount of time, and have been pain-free so far! I'm definitely going back and can't wait. read more

Dr. Doody has helped me go from pulling my calf muscle every couple of months to being able to run an ultra-marathon just 2 weeks ago. He does great work, and his office is very well-run and efficient. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Dr. Patrick Doody is wonderful and one of the most helpful chiropractors I have ever seen in my life. I hurt my lower back a week out from a half marathon and could barely walk. He worked with me to try to alleviate the pain, as well as get me to a point where I could at least walk normally. He also understood my goal and worked with me for three days in a row. I was able to complete the half marathon that I thought would be impossible all thanks to Patrick! THANK YOU, YOU'RE INCREDIBLE! read more

Cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Pat! I had all kinds of back pain that multiple doctors had previously disregarded/not treated/told me would go away if I "lost weight." I'd never seen a chiropractor before and was expecting to have to prove my pain, but Dr. Pat made me feel very comfortable from my first visit. After seeing him 15 min/week for less than a year, my low back pain is basically completely cured. Plus, he is chill, funny, plays good music, and super fun to chat with. I recently moved away from Cambridge, and I genuinely wish I could have taken Dr. Pat with me. I've tried 2 chiropractors since moving, and no one even comes close. Dr. Pat is a gem! read more

Pat helped after I injured my lower back and hip. He aligned me in one visit and gave me all the necessary tools & tricks to avoid future injury. Thanks Pat! read more

I can not recommend Dr. Patrick enough he has been very kind and professional in helping me recover from an ankle injury. When I came to Dr. Patrick's office I had severe pain in my ankle that wouldn't let me sleep, he was very helpful in diagnosing my problem and applying the proper treatment. I felt immediate results after my first visit. He is very knowledgeable, and a very down to earth person. If you're looking for an experienced and affordable chiropractor this is the place to go! read more

Every time I have some new ache or pain from working out, Dr Doody is my first line of defense. Nine out of 10 times, I walk out pain-free after the first visit, and armed with information to keep myself pain-free after. Not sure how he does it -- I come in, I lie on the table, he pokes me here and there, and then boom! I feel like new. Also very punctual with appointments. I've sent multiple friends to him and they've all been happy read more

July 12, 2012 It was my first time here for the massage session- it was a pleasant experience with the staff and Sheena, my massage therapist. She was nice and asked me a few relevant questions during the session. I've always had back problems since years ago and I have been going to professional massage therapy sessions and they usually can relieve me from the pain for a couple of months before I have to schedule another session. Since I'm here in Cambridge for the Summer (and I can't bring my massage therapist along), I searched on Yelp for good massage places and found this place with a deal, so I decided to try it. I went with an open mind, hoping to walk out with no pain. After the session, I felt good from the massage session but not good enough as my pain was still there and true enough, I woke up this morning (morning is the time when my pain is most significant) with my back still hurting as before and I was very disappointed :( Overall, it was a good experience with my therapist but dissatisfied massage techniques. ___________________________________________________ Update: July 24, 2012 I initially gave my massage session 3-star and described my experienced above. Dr. Doody (I assumed he's the chiropractor/owner) emailed me and offered me a complimentary massage session with Susan Young. I thought that was very nice and professional of him so I agreed and scheduled an appointment for the following week. I got there early and Susan was ready- so we got started. She talked to me first and asked about my condition, and then we got to work. I loved how professional and knowledgeable she was by explaining every move she made and described my pain/condition accordingly. It wasn't a normal massage session and I loved it because I'm used to therapist working with me on my back and I don't mind moving my body as needed- anything to relieve the pain! She even showed me stretches I could do at home to help with my back! When we finished, I felt so good and when I looked at the time, it was about 10-15 minutes passed my 1-hour scheduled session! I was so happy with the session that I literally told all my friends about it and one of them is going to schedule a session with Susan soon! So anyway, I woke up this morning (my back pain is most prominent in the morning) with NO PAIN AT ALL!! Needless to say- Susan is really one of the BEST massage therapists I've met and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place for its professionalism and Susan for her helpful massage skills! :) read more

For me it is always hit or miss with chiros. This one is a hit. Plus, Tricia is fab for a quick massage appointment.

I am very excited to come back here for my second session with Patrick. I had never really consulted someone for my neck and back pain, something that I am paying for as we speak. Patrick was gentle and good humored, and told me what I had was a doozy. I am looking forward to returning (tomorrow) for more help as well as a massage, which I will review later! The premises are small, some would say cozy, I met Katja the receptionist who is lovely and professional. I had the pleasure of speaking with Tricia earlier who very efficiently figured out my health insurance and a way for me to just pay my co-pay and seek treatment without worrying about claims, etc. More than I can ask for. Awesome place, hoping to (after my massage tmr) make this my go-to place for some self-care! read more

If you are looking for a Chiropractor I highly recommend you check out Harvard Square Chiropractic, you won't be disappointed and they will have you feeling better in no time! When I called I was in a lot of pain, Patrick and Tricia were kind enough to call my insurance company to help me find out my co-pay and they fit me in same day! Patrick has an extremely convenient schedule fitting me in early morning or later evening for my follow up appointments so I didn't have to take off work. Overall I was really impressed with the service and care I received from the staff and Doctor. read more

Best chiropractor ever. Patrick is awesome. My very picky boyfriend likes him s much he has been recommending him to all of his friends. I tend to freak out with physical adjustments, so I made sure he uses an activator before I came. The activator is awesome, My adjustments are always really gentle and I feel like I'm improving. He's also trained in the graston technique (scraping your skin to loosen scar tissue) which is a more aggressive treatment then the adjustments (it tends to hurt quite a bit but it really helps)l I get the sense that this isn't something he does unless the client requests it. Tricia and the other staff member are super helpful with scheduling and open to emailing to book appointments as well. read more

I highly recommend Harvard Square Chiropractic to anyone looking for chiropractic and massage services. When I called to book my appointment, the receptionist was extremely personable and friendly. I booked both an adjustment and a massage, as my body was yelling at me to pay attention to it. Patrick is very grounded and friendly. He went over my history with me and then began doing some manual manipulation and palpation to find out where my trouble spots were, checking in the entire time to make sure it was tolerable. He did some stretches with me and the adjustments he made were quick and painless. I instantly felt relief. I had my massage immediately following the adjustment with Susan. She is very professional and thorough. We went over my health history and she addressed everything we spoke about in the consultation. I'm also a massage therapist, so I am exceptionally picky when it comes to being massaged. Susan exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely return for future services. Thank you HSC team! read more

I've been going to this practice (Dr. Doody) for a few weeks and have had huge improvement. My back pain is no longer dominating my life! Best Chiropractor I've ever been to. Ten stars!! read more

I've been receiving weekly adjustments for chronic pain at Harvard Square Chiropractic for over five years, and I highly recommend it. I used to see Pat and, due to a change in my work schedule, have now been working with Chris for close to a year. Both are absolutely excellent - kind, thorough, and very skilled. I also appreciate their helpful recommendations for at-home care, such as stretches and exercises. read more

Dr. Patrick is THE BEST chiro i hv *ever* had adjust & fix my mis-alignment! He is intuitive & applied trigget point & myofascial pressure to loosen knots before making his magic moves to vanquish my pain. I have degenerative disc disease, my lumar facets "catch" making it difficult to function and a labral hip tear. Trust me, I *know* from a over a decade of chiro care one who really knows how to work a body. Dr. Patrick Doody is A#1! I was visiting Cambridge for 3 wks and need weekly adjustments. HSC front office was extremely helpful in accommodating both my 12 yr old son & I. 7 stars. read more

I went to see Dr. Pat Doody a couple of years ago while training for the Boston Marathon when I was having some hip problems. Within a couple of visits, my pain significantly decreased, and I was soon back to a full training schedule. I went on to run a personal best at Boston pain-free. I would recommend his services to anyone. He truly cares about his patients and is a genuinely nice guy. read more

Dr. Chris Johnson did an amazing job with my back adjustment. Professional, in depth pain analysis and very quick, great results

Great chiropractors and massage therapists can be tough to come by. I live in Harvard square and found this office via a google search and wow, what a find. Pat is the coolest chiropractor around and is very passionate and professional about what he does. I've been seeing him about twice a week for a few months now and each time, I feel like he is tuning into what's going on in my back/neck and is truly invested in my wellness. Within just a couple of visits with Pat, my body felt ten times better and I felt instant relief in my once stiff and achy back and neck. Tricia gives a great message and if I could afford it, I would see her much more often. Overall Pat and Tricia are a pleasure to work with, professional, and make you feel so much better. What's not to love? 5 stars all around and two thumbs up! read more

As one who has always been skeptical about chiropractors (having an orthopedic surgeon as a father), I was hesitant about seeing a chiropractor. But after meeting Patrick, I am convinced that there do exist good chiropractors. He is honest, fair, professional, and kind. A good family man, and one who also has suffered through injury, Patrick is trustworthy and knows what he is doing. Especially because I am a fitness instructor, Patrick is my go-to person when I am in pain. Seeing him always helps me feel better overall. You won't be disappointed. (also, as a side note, as one who gets a massage once a week in places all over Boston, his massage therapists are top-notch as well, and worth the money spent) read more
