After doing a hip hop dance class (on concrete with LOTS of jumping in crappy shoes with no arch support), I came to her on crutches with severe foot pain, which she diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. She wrapped my foot to provide support and pain relief...not just once, multiple times. She even came in on a friday to re-wrap it so that I was not in pain over the weekend. She recommended some great arch supports for me and I have not had that extreme of pain since. Dr. Jen rocks! So glad I found her! :)

Initially I went in to Dr Strauser because I didn't know what was going on with a toe nail but knew…read moreit wasn't good. She took some samples, tested the bejeezus out of it but we couldn't figure it out. She had me try an at home treatment and after 6 months I decided to go back in since the home treatment didn't help. The next step (which was a big one for me) was removing the nail. Well, she did a damn fine job. I felt nothing and the toe nail healed up perfectly. Fast forward a year and it feels like an ingrown is happening. I head back in, she takes a look, agrees, and I walk out 15 min later with a small bandage over the toe. Three weeks later and it's totally healed. No more pain, looks fantastic. Dr Strauser has been so helpful and super responsive. She hands out a number to call / text if anything goes wrong after a procedure and has a great sense of humor to boot.

If you are a single parent or just a parent in general, DO NOT send your child with a caregiver or…read morefamily member to see Dr.Hoffman. He refused to provide care to my child because I was not PHYSICALLY present at the time of his appointment. My son who is only 10 years old, was suffering from a small ingrown toenail on his big toe. His primary doctor had referred us to Dr.Hoffman (Bay Area Foot Care in Berkeley) because of our insurance coverage. When I scheduled the appointment, a week prior, no one from his office told me that I needed to be physically present at the appointment. I completed all of the paperwork/medical authorization forms a few days prior, online when his office sent me the appointment reminder. I gave authorization for my brother to take him to the appointment because I could not miss more work. I had already missed work the week prior to have my son seen by his primary doctor and for other personal reasons. When my brother and my son arrive to the appointment, my brother calls me to let me know that they could not see my son since I am not physically present. I spoke with the receptionist who advised me that it was California law that a legal parent or guardian needed to be physically present because they need a signed consent before he can be seen. There is not California law that requires the presence of a parent or legal guardian, however, yes a consent form is needed to be signed by a parent or legal guardian in which I could sign via email and that same parent could give a caregiver or family member authorization to be present at the appointment. I've done this many times any time my son sees his primary doctor or a specialist. Never have they turned him away and I always have family members help me when needed. I also know this because I use to also work in the medical field and never, NEVER have I seen or heard that a doctor refused care because the parent wasn't physically present especially if they had consent/ medical authorization signed by the parent. The office manager, Elizabeth, was extremely helpful and understanding. She tried to help me by emailing me the consent form to sign so they can move forward with the minor procedure, however, even after doing so Dr.Hoffman still refused to help my son. Instead my brother and my son had to go to another location (different Bay Area Foot Care Clinic) and be seen by another doctor (Dr.Poggio) all because I was not physically at the appointment. The appointment took less than 15 minutes, my son called me right after and expressed how he loved Dr.Poggio. I cannot thank Elizabeth and Dr.Poggio enough for their support and assistance. As a mother, that made me feel better that my son was happy and finally received relief from his ingrown toenail. It is such a shame and horrible experience for my brother, myself and especially my son who already has a fear of doctors but was also in pain. We waited almost a week for this appointment and then to be turned away is upsetting. My advice to Dr.Hoffman, maybe you should close your practice to pediatric patients because there are a lot of single parents who are not always going to be able to physically take their child/children to an appointment and can appoint a caregiver or family member to do so for them , especially if a signed consent or authorization is or was going to be signed. It's already stressful for single parents to juggle life and then to have their child turned away from receiving medical care is saddening. I would never recommend you to anyone I know. I already contacted my son's primary doctor to notify them to never send a minor patient to your office. Terrible!

Dr. Nguyen provided a comprehensive physical body functioning exam and a total-body approach treatment plan. He noticed all the little things; from how I walked into his office, my posture and carried that precise mechanical detail into his functional exam. When asked to do basic turns and bends, I did not even realize I was overcompensating with other areas of my body. His extensive knowledge of the kinetic connected chain opened my eyes to the big picture of my entire body. Through his recommendations for advanced diagnostics, he has helped me connect with other providers for long-term care alongside my chiropractic treatments. His clinical expertise with intricate joint alignments, including the knees and spine--especially regarding highly precise neck and lower back adjustments--is bar none. He is incredibly mindful of my comfort levels with certain delicate alignments, and I feel physical relief from chronic spine issues and pain. The adjustments have helped improve my symptoms and mobility, complementing my other treatments perfectly. The level of communication, compassion, reports and care coordination is unmatched. He checks in, sends helpful reminders, and shares and shares the goals we all want to improve our joint function and movement for a better quality of life. Dr. Nguyen is truly one of a kind!!
