I have been in Chiropractic most of my adult life. I had back surgery in 2005 and have back pain…read moreevery day of my life since then. My wife told me to check her out, but I was reluctant because it was in Los Altos, and I live in Fremont. After a few months of my wife telling me how great she was, I went... It was pretty weird at first, maybe even my first few visits. People take their shoes off at the front door and yes, Dr. Mary gave me a hug on my first visit as I was walked out to the front door. Almost a year later I am still going and I have to say, she is the best Chiropractor I have ever had. She is kind, funny, and cares about your well being more anyone I have seen in the past (and I have seen some good ones). I go every 2 weeks for about 1 hr and 15 minutes. I get a massage first for one hour, then Dr. Mary right after. Angel is the best masseuse who makes all my pain go away (and puts me to sleep) then Dr. Mary adjust me after my muscles have loosened up. The Jade Stone massage beds are free of charge for those who don't have time for the 1 hr massage (would love to own one of these for my house). Dr. Mary is a very real person. Her concern and emotions are always genuine. Anyone who gets to know her will see the same. You can tell she is doing what she loves as it pours out of her on every visit. Do not expect to get budget Chiropractic here. Do expect to get all the attention and time you need to help you with your issues.

The doctor actually listened to what I was explaining instead of rushing through. They asked the right kind of questions and took time checking different things like breathing and posture. I felt like they were paying attention to my symptoms and not just reading off a chart. They explained a few things I hadn't thought of before which helped. The room was clean and quiet. Probably will go back if I need to. Not bad at all.

Ken Tomine is AMAZING!!! It hasn't been a week & my pain patch w/ needle is a miracle! My sprained…read morewrist & bruised bone (right-leg) is feeling so much better already, in just a matter of three days. Several years ago, I was very sick & suffered for nine-months... I was in & out of emergency rooms & saw many doctors, trying all kinds of medicines, but nothing worked. I was miserable & desperate! I wanted my agony to stop & I cried out of desperation & felt panic every time I had episodes of asthma attack. My asthma was at it's worse & western medicine wasn't helping. Doctors were only trained to treat the symptoms & not the main problem. I've never tried holistic medicine before, but when I heard that they treat patients with chronic illnesses such as MS, Asthma, etc, I didn't even think twice about going. The deciding factor for me was when their receptionist at the time, who was a former patient of theirs confided in me... She suffered from MS & no longer able to walk. She told me how their practitioners helped her walk again! Her honesty gave me hope, so I made an appointment right away & that's when I first met Ken. :)). He is a God send. I saw immediate results...I felt relief & started breathing normally again! Imagine struggling to breathe & speak for nine-months! I was so exhausted & my poor & frail body couldn't take any more toxins from all the drugs! Ken's holistic treatment of acupuncture, deep tissue & pressure point massages, cupping & herbal medicine, strengthened my spleen & all of my other major organs, & rid all of the toxins in my body. He takes a thorough assessment in your first session, checking your pulse, tongue, & history of your physical, emotional & mental health. You must give him a complete picture of your overall health, bc he said that it takes team effort to be healthy. I needed to do my part in becoming healthy again, so I followed his diet regimen, took the herbal medicine & saw him for my regular treatments. I needed to change my lifestyle, by eating healthy & getting plenty of rest! Ken said that rest is so important to heal our bodies. He taught me the importance of listening & being kind to your body. Ken is by no means strict... He will meet you at your comfort level. He is nurturing & funny, which helps a lot when you're so miserable & sick. He will listen to you & guide you to meet your goals. Your health insurance may reimburse you for the treatments, bc it's medically necessary. They will complete a form for you every four sessions, which you will submit to your health insurance for reimbursement. For me, health is wealth, as my grandmother always taught me, so I find the fee here reasonable & worth every penny.

I had a very disappointing and stressful experience with the front desk person at this office…read more The issue started with poor communication around billing. I was initially told that my copay would be $30 for Dr. Helen and $20 for Dr. Deanne, and that my insurance had been checked. About a month later, I found out through my insurance that I was actually responsible for 30% of the bill. When I brought this up, the front desk person first denied saying that, and later offered to settle the account based on the $30 copay amount. However, there was no apology or clear explanation for the confusion. We had also discussed that the 4/30 bill would be handled later once I received the insurance check, since my card had already been charged the full $150 for that visit. Yesterday, when I tried to bring this up again, the front desk person would not let me explain and kept insisting that my bills had already been taken care of. She also said she does not handle billing, but did not clearly explain who does or who I should contact. What made the experience worse was the attitude. When I tried to understand who handles billing, bookings, and patient communication, she responded defensively and said, "Oh, now you are saying I don't do anything," which was not what I said. I was simply trying to understand who was responsible for what, especially since she had said she does not handle billing or appointments for all doctors. The most upsetting part was being personally insulted and called a "sad person who makes other people sad." That is completely inappropriate in any service environment, especially in a healthcare or wellness practice where patients come for care and support. This was not the first time she referred to me as a "sad person," and it felt dismissive and disrespectful, especially as someone coming in with severe shoulder pain and trying to resolve basic billing and appointment issues. The communication around appointments was also frustrating. When I switched to Dr. Deanne and asked how to book with her, I was told to check online with no clear guidance. After asking again, I was eventually sent a link by text, but only after being told, "I don't handle her appointments." Yesterday, I checked in and sat in the doctor's office for several minutes, but the doctor was not informed. I had to go back and ask twice, and the front desk person clearly seemed upset about it. The last two months of dealing with this front desk experience have been extremely frustrating. Patients deserve clear communication, patience, and basic respect when trying to resolve billing and appointment issues especially when it's caused by the provider . Overall, this experience fell far short of the level of professionalism and respect patients deserve

Previously I had injured my lower back/glutes area and the pain radiated down my legs, which…read moreinflicted sharp pain on me when I am standing/walking. I even woke up in the middle of the night with twitching pain. It was a pain in the butt, literally. Since I couldn't get into an appointment with a PT within a short time frame for some long-term rehabilitation and injury prevention treatments, I looked for an acupuncturist as an emergency solution. I did a few sessions with Carol, and she has done a marvelous job treating me. She was attentive in understanding what my issues were, and was very patient and gentle when she gave the treatment. As others have mentioned, Carol takes insurance so I didn't have to pay a lot out of my pocket. My injury took a good while to heal, but I've definitely seen good improvements when I went through the sessions with Carol. I would definitely recommend working with Carol if you unfortunately injured yourself.

Seriously so glad I found this clinic, they made me realize that living with back pain is a choice…read more I had been dealing with low back pain and sciatica for about 4 years from herniated discs at L4 and L5, and I had pretty much gotten used to living with it. I was receiving Cortisol injections to mask the pain, but it was not until Silicon Valley Chiropractic that I was able to truly alleviate my pain without medications. I highly recommend you stop pain and nerve medications and come here instead for a real fix. I ended up trying their DRX9000 non-surgical spinal decompression treatment, and it made a huge difference. My sciatica is completely gone now. I honestly wish I had done this years ago because I did everything else, and this is the only thing that worked. I'm exercising again, and I can sit and drive without pain, and I'm back to playing pickleball! Everyone there has been really nice and helpful too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone dealing with a herniated disc, sciatica, or ongoing low back pain. They also have shockwave therapy with the StemWave machine. Funny enough, the person who first told me about this office had gone there for shockwave therapy for her knee and had a really good experience. That's actually what made me decide to give them a try. Very happy I did! I see Dr. Riley and Dr. Parvini, they take such good care of me! When I have had emergencies the other doctors have also offered their availability too to make sure I get fixed. I have seen all of them and they are all wonderful! Amazing staff. If you have a pinched nerve - you are in pain or have trouble moving your neck or your neck muscles cannot relax - come to these neck whisperers and stop torturing yourself. They will adjust your neck and unpinch your nerves. Stop masking it with Advil and Tylenol people! You do not have to live in pain, come get a back and neck adjustment! You deserve to be able to look over your shoulder without pain. Dr. Parvini was really kind the other week and was able to get me in quickly for a neck adjustment. I slept in an odd position that caused my neck to pinch my right shoulder muscle, I literally could not raise my right arm more than halfway up, but after Dr. Parvini gave me a good crack I immediately was able to give him a high-five! Note: You need to have a 1st evaluation appointment that takes longer but it sets you up so the doctors there know exactly what to work on when you come in. You want to have this appointment to learn more about your spine. Dr. Riley was able to point out injuries I did not know I had from a previous car accident without me even telling her I was recently in one. Amazing team with detailed work #neckwhisperers
