I've been seeing Dr. Levine for a couple of months now and am a very happy customer. I've regularly seen a chiropractor for the past 11 years, and when I moved and got new insurance and had to find a new chiropractor I was very nervous. There are a lot of different styles and flavors out there, and I wanted something I was used to. No drop tables for me. I found Dr. Levine via my insurance list of accepted practices and was delighted to see his great review on yelp. When I first started seeing him I was training for a half marathon and was having a lot of knee and foot pain as a result. Dr Levine not only took care of my normal back pain but spent a lot of time and effort adjust my knees and feet to get me to a place where I could compete. It definitely helped - I'm really not sure I would have made it through my training without Dr. Levine. Thanks! Very happy to continue to see Stuart, and thanks to my insurance we have a date twice a month. :) read more

I never review doctors on Yelp but thought I owed it to Dr. Levine. I came to him a long time ago with recurring back issues, after a few appointments and a lot of questions he helped me realize that the issue was my bed. I got a new one and no more problems. He takes the time to listen, figure out your lifestyle and what could be causing the problem and how to manage it at home. While getting an adjustment once in a while is OK, I certainly don't see it as a regular thing. Now I see him on occasion when I need an adjustment. He still always asks about posture, whether I stretch, exercise, and always suggests good practices to keep my back relaxed and in-tune. read more

TMJ Pain is awful! I thought I had to go to an oral surgeon to fix my jaw alignment. ONE visit I was CURED!! (2011) Back again for realignment an entire year later and no jaw pain! Dr. Levine is fantastic!!! read more

Help on the way! Last Fall, after a few weeks of traveling and sleeping on floors and couches, I was in horrible shape, severe pain in my hips and low-back. I had to take massive amounts of ibuprofen or naproxin to get through my day! I saw Dr. Stuart Levine for a short series of treatments and he quickly helped my pain subside, and my body return to a healthier state. He accurately assessed and treated my body, and i felt big relief after the very first treatment. He has a super friendly easy going demeanor, and awesome hands. An excellent and compassionate practitioner of the chiropractic art and science, I strongly encourage my friends and clients in the San Francisco/Bay Area to visit Dr. Levine for excellent health care. At Gough and Union, plenty of street parking, ~ Regarding Chiropractic care (my opinion): I have been well served by chiropractic care in my lifetime. It has been the most effective treatment for me when I have had pain in my body, particularly in my back and neck. I do find the benefits are farther reaching, I simply feel great with regular chiropractic care (at least every couple months as maintenance), and when I have had pain - it really helps like nothing else. Combined with regular massage therapy, I just get used to feeling good! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Dr Levine is the best Chiropractor you could ever find. I have gone to 5 different chiropractors in San Francisco since year 2000 and recently I have also gone to one of the most famous shoulder doctors that gave me a cortisone shot in my shoulder, but that did not solve anything. None of the chiropractors/physiotherapists/ doctors I went for the past 17 years has been able to relieve the pain that was in the left side of my neck, shoulder, arm and back due to a sport injury. Each of the previous doctors I visited never figured out the correct diagnosis: even after seeing my x-rays and MRI. It took Dr Levine two seconds to figure out what was wrong with my body. My problem was not my shoulder, but instead I had two ribs out of place. No wonder I felt like I had a knife stuck into my back...my own rib was stubbing me. Since Dr Levine adjustments I have been in no pain for the past month. It is like a dream come true! I thought I was going to live with the pain for the rest of my life. Another great thing about him is that he is an honest doctor and unlike other chiropractors he never told me that I had to go and see him 3 times a week. read more

I started coming here about 7 months ago since I was not getting any better after almost two years with my former chiropractor. After just a few visits with fewer adjustments and no massage therapy, he greatly reduced the pain which turned out to be a shorter right leg (which was also noted by the other Dr.) He stretched my right hip muscles and fitting me with a shoe insert and now almost pain free and no bending down groans. Thanks Dr. Levine! read more

I was extremely nervous about attending a chiropractor but my shoulder became so painful that I decided to go ahead and try Dr. Levine. I've got to tell you, the reviews about this guy are on point. Not only was he completely calming and understanding of my fears, he spent tons of time educating me on exactly what was happening in my body. My shoulder feels much better after only one adjustment and my entire body feels better than it has in years. I will be returning to Dr. Levine and recommending him to my friends. read more

Back and neck pain suck. Dr. Levine makes it better. I've had the misfortune of 3 back and neck injuries including whiplash twice. I've been seeing chiropractors on and off for the past 23 years and Dr. Levine is by far the best. He doesn't just go in for the crack. He prepares my back and neck with heat and some light massage before adjusting. He's also easy to talk to and has a calm and soothing personality. His office and staff are also very friendly. read more

First off, let me just say that I was never a believer in chiropractic care. Then I threw my back out for the umpteenth time and had to miss out on some really fun socializing so I finally scared up the courage to visit Dr. Fishman (aka Ricky) at Chiromedica. He helped me through the initial (excruciating) pain and showed me ways I could strengthen my weakling spine in order to avoid spending the rest of my life stooped over. Over the past few years, he's also helped me deal with such fun things like a repetitive stress injury (thanks crazy job that requires me to slave away in non-ergonomic hell). He also plays a mean bass and always makes for interesting conversation! Understanding, flexible and friendly (as in, "I'm just now leaving the office and my appointment is in 5 minutes..."), Chiromedica is highly recommended. read more

Dr. Levine has been a real gift for both me and my wife. He helped her tremendously through back problems during pregnancy. He is friendly, and as mentioned in other reviews he prepares your body with heat and massage prior to cracking, he asks diagnostic questions and develops an understanding of what your body needs. With adjustments and prescribed exercises, he fixed my wifes longterm neckpain, for which she had sought help from multiple chirpractors over several years. Going every 4 to 6 weeks has kept my back and neck in decent shape, despite an unhealthy lifestyle of travel and deskjob. Thank you, Dr. Levine! PS - Receptionist if very nice, too!! read more

Dr Levine is great! He has a good approach to chiropractic medicine and although the sound of your bones cracking is weird to me, he makes me feel at ease when he does it. I can tell he's very knowledgeable and experienced, which is important in finding any type of doctor. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Levine is awesome - I got into a serious car accident last February, with severe whiplash. I wasn't able to sleep or sit comfortably. Dr. Levine adjusted me 3x/week, and promised that I would be much better after 2-3 months. I felt completely better after 3 months - it was amazing! I was a little skeptical of chiropractors before going to Dr. Levine, but he's changed my mind completely about that. read more

I have been to see Dr. Levine several times when I was in serious need of some relief from major pain, and every time I leave his office I not only feel better physically, but mentally. He is not only a great doctor, but just such a kind person that you feel at ease with right away. The first time I went to see him it was after throwing my back out (jumping on a trampoline, but that's besides the point). I was in pain literally every time I took a breath. Dr. Levine was able to pin-point right away where my back was out and adjusted me with instructions to follow up with another visit in a few days- but he also told me what to expect as far as how I would feel in the coming hours and days as my body readjusted. He was spot on in describing how that process would go and that I would still feel some discomfort for a day or two, then it should disappear, which is exactly what happened. I went back today after having had a 3 day-long headache that nothing I did was helping, not chugging water and no amount of Advil would touch it. Again, he immediately predicted that it was connected to my neck before even touching me. He was right again, and said I should feel relief within an hour, if not immediately, of the adjustment. By the time I reached the front desk my headache was gone after days. Not only is he a wonderful doctor who does his job so well, he has always been able to see me last minute, within a day or even the same day of calling to ask for an appointment. I always know I can get in to see him when I need to, which brings great peace of mind, but I also know that when I leave I will feel better, which is priceless. I can't recommend him more highly if you are looking for a chiropractor in the city. You'll be happy you went. read more

Recommended by a friend. My first time to go to a chiro and Dr Levine explained everything to me. My friend calls it "the crack house". It's so good you will keep coming back for more. And they cracked all my bones - which feels amazing. I felt like a new person when I left. And I slept like a baby that evening. Can't wait for my next appointment. read more

Stuart is a great chiropractor. He was able to diagnose and explain the problems I was having with my back clearly and provide a plan for treatment. My back gets better and better. read more

courteous front office and chiropractic staff that listens and cares. great about short notice appointments if you're really in need. read more

Hands down the best chiropractor I have ever been adjusted by. This guy rules! He's quick, thorough, friendly and compassionate. He also listens and remembers everything I tell him. (This sounds like it should be a given, but it's not.) He also talks to me and explains what he is doing without making me feel like he is trying to talk to a five year old. read more

I've been going to Stuart Levine for YEARS! He was recommended by a personal trainer I had a long time ago and it was a great tip. Whenever I'm in need of an adjustment this is the place I go. He's very personable (really nice guy), knowledgable and great at what he does. His prices are totally fair and affordable and the adjustments always leave me feeling like a new person. Thanks! read more

I am a local triathlete and have been under Dr. Levine's outstanding care for three years. My training inevitably takes a toll on my body and Dr. Levine has always been a very reliable source of my physical realignment. His office is great with last minute scheduling and the visits are quite literally quick and painless with immediate relief from what is ailing me. It is without reservation that me and my back send 5 stars his way! read more

I started seeing Dr. Levine a few years ago since I spend far too much time in front of a computer every day and need to get adjusted to get back in alignment. He's very understanding of my needs, does a great job, and has Saturday hours which is an extra bonus read more

Look no further - this is the best Chiro in SF!!! Dr. Levine is fantastic. He eliminated my reoccurring issues with my lower back and neck. I have been under his car for a couple of years. I go every 6 weeks or so for general up keep and to combat the effects of business travel. Dr. Levine always delivers amazing care. He is honest and not like some Chiros that make you come in when you don't really need it. I highly recommend Dr. Levine. read more

Dr. Levine and his staff were so helpful and nice. I was from out of town and they did everything they could to help me. He was very thorough and I could get back to enjoying my vacation. read more

Dr. Ricky Fishman helped me to regain faith in my recovery process and has inspired me to keep working under his guidance and treatment to become pain-free again. I started working with him after months of medical appointments, tests, medications and physical therapy barely improved my functionality or reduced the pain I was experiencing in my neck, back, hips and legs. My girlfriend has been his patient for a few years and suggested I see him to solve my fairly complicated situation. When I first saw him, I was concerned that my chronic issues were too severe to treat and was overwhelmed with the pile of insurance claims and medical bills I had accumulated. But, I refused to accept the pain in my body as a permanent reality in my life. I am very grateful to have met Ricky and to have received his treatments and advice to recover my body and reclaim my life. His holistic approach to restoring health in the body allowed me to regain strength and movement and to significantly reduce the pain and discomfort I felt for years. I highly recommend Dr. Fishman. read more
