I went with her on a follow-up appointment where she had her first cast removed, the break Flouroscoped (similar to XRays) and a new cast put on. Dr. Satow did all of this himself, with a great gentle manner and attentive care, while talking to me about the World Cup results at the same time. He put on a lighter cast and she will go back in a few weeks to remove that and get a sling. His office has tickets and sports memorabilia on the walls and he loves competitive sports, despite his professional appearance and soft manner. Dr. Satow graduated from UCSF, is Japanese American and has a lot of ties to the local Japanese American community.

She was at the point of not being able to walk around the block and even getting out of bed was painful. Dr. Wong got her in right away, listened, did an assessment and gave her an initial adjustment. She could feel relief right away. Over the past few weeks he's worked with her to relieve pain and begin the process of strengthening and returning movement to her life. His treatments have brought great relief and his coaching has her stretching and returning to an active life. We appreciate his personal attention.

I have been a long time patient of Dr. Chris Montellese and I can safely say that he saved my back and is the reason why I am walking today. The short review: Very knowledgeable doctors - them bone aligning adjustments, great front staff - they're really nice, and everyone has impeccable bedside manner - I mean impeccable with 5 stars at the end but no stars are shown because Yelp says no symbols allowed. My really long story: All throughout high school, I had back pain that continuously got worse. No one believed me. Not my parents, siblings, doctors, or teachers. My timeline is a bit fuzzy but I think right after I graduated high school, the pain was so bad that it hurt to walk. At one point, I had to crawl/drag myself to the restroom because it was too painful to walk. My parents thought I was exaggerating about the pain and just told me to rest. So I took matters into my own hands and Googled for possible reasons and eventually stumbled on chiropractic care and immediately searched for chiropractors in the area. I found the Montellese website and Dr. Montellese's bio mentioned that he treated athletes with injuries. In my head I figured, "If someone can find out what's wrong with me, it's him." I can't remember if I called or sent an inquiry via the website but the office got back to me fairly quickly and fit me in within a week despite their busy schedule. When I went in, Dr. Montellese was surprised at how young I was and I was kind of scared he wouldn't believe me too. I thought he would just ask a few questions, pop a few bones, and I would be on my way. Imagine my surprise when he sat down, asked me a series of medical questions, and became genuinely concerned with each response. It was a very uplifting moment psychologically and emotionally. This stranger that I had never met in my life was taking my medical issues seriously and wasn't just brushing them off as crazy, attention seeking antics. I don't know if he ever realized how much he helped me that day so, Chris, if you're reading this - thank you! After talking about my medical history, my pain levels, how I felt, etc. for quite a while, he moved on to evaluating and adjusting. I remember him asking for my age again and I told him and asked why he was asking. Basically, he couldn't believe what a state my back was in. Well, that made two of us. He did adjustments that he could but I remember my back was VERY tight that day even after resting for a few days prior. He gave me a few stretches and exercises to do at home and I went on to see him every month or two for the next year before I moved. During the time I had seen him, my condition stayed fairly stable and I was good. But I noticed my condition wasn't the best when I moved and stopped getting adjustments. Finally, a little over a year later, I moved back for school and I started getting adjustments again. But some time later, despite my adjustments, my back pain came back and I could tell that if I didn't do something, I was going to be bedridden again. During this time, I was working a lot and staying up late in chairs studying for school. I'm pretty sure that took a toll on my body. I went to Dr. Montellese for help and he said my condition wasn't normal and ordered an MRI. The results came back and showed that I had a torn disc that caused nerve pinching and arthritis along my back. I was stunned. I mean, I was in my early 20's at the time so what do you mean a torn disc AND arthritis!? He then referred me to a physical therapist and told me I could still get adjustments if I wanted to but he strongly recommended therapy. I opted for both. Fast forward about 8 months later, I could run. Like on a beach!! My pain was barely there and I only had minor flare ups due to weather or physical strain. I was amazed. And then I got into an accident about 7 months later and my back was a hot mess again. I began physical therapy and regular adjustments a second time and was able to get past it. All of this is to say, chiropractic care and physical therapy DOES WORK. But you need a good chiropractor and therapist. Also, be your loudest advocate for your health. Find someone who will LISTEN to what you're saying and try to help you. Nowadays, my pain levels are manageable and I can live normally. But I realize that I do feel more pain now as I'm getting older. Unfortunately, the fountain of youth hasn't been found yet and there isn't a medication for old age lol Because of my torn disc, I have discussed surgery options with Dr. Montellese but I don't think I need it yet. My regular adjustments allow me to live life pretty well aside from random flare ups. If I do need surgery in the future, I'm sure I'll ask for his guidance when that time comes.

Since the beginning of this year, I have been trying to schedule an appointment. Instead of helping me move forward, the assistant told me that Dr. Holamandara would not see me until I had an MRI. She instructed me to ask my primary care physician to order it. That made no sense because the specialist is the one requesting the MRI and should be responsible for providing the appropriate referral or coordinating the necessary steps. Because I had previously seen Dr. Pativanda for the same condition, I was then told that they would contact Dr. Pativanda's office to request the MRI referral. That was over four months ago. Since then, I have called both offices every couple of weeks asking for an update. Dr. Holamandara's office and Dr. Pativanda's office are located directly across from each other in the same building, yet no one seems able to communicate or provide answers. Neither office has followed up with me, returned my calls with a solution, or taken ownership of resolving the issue. The lack of communication, coordination, and accountability has delayed my medical care for months. As a patient, I should not have to spend months chasing down referrals and repeatedly calling multiple offices just to get a simple answer. Patients deserve timely communication, clear guidance, and staff who are willing to help instead of passing responsibility to someone else. I hope this office improves its patient care and communication because no one seeking medical treatment should have to go through this experience.
