The result is always the same: she is incredibly thorough, friendly and professional...and I get better. Kimberley reminds me of what a village doctor would be like from years ago. She truly cares about her patients and is very individualized with her treatment. She may ask me about diet, sleep, stress, pain, etc, any factors that may be contributing to what's going on. Her holistic approach is incredibly thorough while still efficient, and in my experience, the results speak for themselves! I am so grateful for her work and feel lucky to have such a skilled and compassionate practitioner here in North County, my village :) :) Highly recommend!

I've been seeing Dr. Gibson since April of this year, and I can't even begin to stress how much…read morethis woman saved my life. When I came to her, I was in constant back and hip pain, so stressed out that I wasn't functioning, and in severe intestinal pain. I was battling suicidal idealization daily for years. Within in a few months, she has almost cured my depression, she has made my back, hip, and stomach pains almost obsolete, and she has been helping me with a light therapy for a sun-related rash. I still remember the first time I walked into her office with a smile on and she couldn't stop saying how delighted she was to see me smile for the first time in the two months I was seeing her. If you have doubts, just go and see her anyway. Tell her everything. She's not just a chiropractor, she's a holistic doctor that wants to help you become better in every way she can. Thank you for all your help. Thank you for getting me to smile and generally happy again. My overall quality of life has significantly improved because of my weekly visits with you and David.

# I was wheelchair bound at age 33 and she got me walking within 2 WEEKS!!!!…read more Seriously Dr. Kelly doesn't have a review on yelp yet!? Well i will graciously do the honors of introducing you to the best holistic chiropractic healer I have ever come across thus far. Ok let me forewarn you: first impression she seemed scattered and performing a chiropractic marathon. Trust me the woman CARES about her patients, their recovery and prognosis. The problem is there is only one of her and like a thousand patients that come to her regularly. Please don't twist my words into something negative bottom line her approach is much different then most chiropractors but she is THE BEST. Backstory: I really messed up my back in my early twenties and had achy back pain no problem I was young and could handle it. Fast forward to recently about 4-5 years ago I get diagnosed with degenerative disk disease. I have two bulging verts. and one herniated one. No problem I had a little discomfort (I have a high tolerance for pain). So of course I go to the Bay Area and the cold humid weather sets my spine into a frenzy of swelling, pinched nerves, spasms. I'm essentially like almost paralyzed but feeling every bit of pain). The Naval hospital prescribed me morphine and I was still in th the most agonizing pain. My massage therapist refers me to Dr. Kelly and with her help and the help of my pcp I'm walking in a matter of TWO WEEKS! There's still a long road ahead for me. But I am walking and I can take care of my babies! That to me is worth more than any money can buy.

Been coming here since about 2018. They've moved a few times, and I've been out of touch with them…read morefor awhile. So glad to be back and I absolutely love their current office and location, which is dedicated solely to their service. Dr Nathalia Wolfe is a gem! I'm absolutely glad to be back, as I've been suffering from mild to extreme vertigo due to this overwhelming summer heat and exhaustion. Had to be treated to conventional pharmaceutical drugs several times, with no satisfactory results from prescribing Valium, mclezine, cetrizine, etc... all of which only mask the symptoms of the vertigo, which comes back and still makes me feel like I'm unsteadily moving around this fast paced world with my head immersed in a fish bowl. Enough already!! Well, I'm back with vitamin shots, and it sure has helped more than the conventional pharmaceutical drugs that my regular hospital doctors prescribe. Yup, sometimes that's all it takes: good ol' natural vitamin shots, and voila, vertigo is a little more controlled... and not regulated by hospital quacks, but by your very own choices. Thank you Nathalia. A must place for people to know: https://vitalianaturalmedicine.com/vitamin-shots/ Ps. Office manager Barbara is an absolute stellar with patient services at the front desk.

My experience with Dr. Tsai was in 2017. Prior to seeing Dr. Tsai I had reoccurring hives that…read morestarted on my upper arms - they'd appear everyday for an hr & subside. I used histamines; but in spite of that, they soon progressed to my lower arms, the back of my thighs, then all over my body. They'd occur more often lasting longer periods, sometimes in the middle of the night. I tried baking soda baths among other remedies, but nothing worked, and I felt desperate for relief! Chinese medicine is known to cure the root cause, and not just simply treat symptoms; my search lead me here. Dr. Tsai did tell me the first week would be difficult, as the symptoms would express even more in the process of purging. That happened. Over the course of 6 months I visited weekly or biweekly. In that period, I had 3 different prescriptions of Chinese herbal medicine, that I'd brew to take 3 times a day. (I will say after a month and a half I had no more hive breakouts.) The medicine is no cake walk, but I wanted to never experience another breakout so I stayed the course. I can say I've never had one to this day. Dr. Tsai's skills and bedside manners are impeccable! I've mentioned him to friends over the years in conversation, even after moving out of CA. Preface, I've never left a review for anything, I'm leaving this now because I've always wanted to; and I've just come off conversing/recommending him again to a family acquaintance that lives in CA. I remain so appreciative of his care!

I highly recommend Dr. Tsai and his magic touch!

She is expert at relieving pain. Today, Dr. Tamai wasn't available. So, I saw Dr. Leah for my plantar fasciitis. Dr. Leah was spot on. She used active release technique (ART) to relieve the tension in my calf and sole of my foot. She used the Graston technique around the Achilles tendon and foot/ankle ligaments. Right now, I'm 90% better. It's amazing how quickly releasing a muscle will stop the pain. After the exam I received an email with a PDF explaining the stretches and exercises that are needed for a full recovery.

She's every bit the seasoned and knowledgeable professional. My daughter (age 13, ankle/foot issues) and I (age 52, knee/IT band/ hamstring/back issues) have been coming to Leah after both of us having less than fruitful experiences with PT prescribed from our orthopaedic doctors; cookie cutter experiences for both of us. Dr. Leah treats every patient like a VIP, listens attentively, asks leading questions, and creates a custom plan tailored for the individual. She fully focuses on helping people achieve restoration and full function rather than quick adjustments. I love the combination of hands-on work (no bone adjustments) and exercises that we can then do as "homework" each day. And if you're a dancer or former dancer, you're in luck. A former dancer herself, Dr. Leah not only "speaks the language" of dance terminology, but also can offer modifications for specific dance skills while rehabbing an injury/addressing a problem. As a dance teacher and someone with many past and current leg/hip/back issues, that's a game changer. Thank you, Dr. Leah!

I couldn't sit, I couldn't lay down and my lower back and my entire lower abdomen was locked up. I was relying on pain management for over a week with no clear answers. I even went to my trusted chiropractor but got zero relief. I had heard acupuncture could help and at that point I was willing to try anything. I found Cai on Yelp and got in same day to see her. She assessed me and figured out my pain wasn't stemming from a joint, which is what everyone else thought. She identified two muscles that had been strained and went to work for 2 hours, with needles on both my front and my back. In one session my pain is 90% gone and I'm totally amazed at how much better I feel. She has made me a believer and I will now be back any time I need some relief. Thank you so much Cai

I have also augmented my treatment with Cai with massage and a red light therapy shoulder harness that I purchased on Amazon. Highly recommend acupuncture with Cai's Clinic of Acupuncture if you are starting to suffer from frozen shoulders due to hormonal changes; I am 63 and I know that's what caused my frozen shoulder. If my right shoulder starts acting up I know where to go! I have recommended Cai to another frozen shoulder sufferer and she also found immediate relief from just one treatment.
