I'm really disappointed with my experience at this chiropractic practice. Communication has been frustrating from the start. Appointment times are always chosen by the doctor, not collaboratively, yet I was recently sent a message implying I wasn't respectful of his schedule--even though I had clearly said It would work but let him know if anything changes. The tone of the message I received felt unprofessional and condescending, especially being told I needed to "communicate correctly" in order to be seen. That's not how patients should be spoken to. On top of that, there have been several uncomfortable in-office experiences. While pregnant, I was told I "looked big," which felt inappropriate and insensitive. There have also been moments that raised concerns about professionalism overall, including poor hygiene (noticeable bad breath) and even showing up to an appointment wearing slippers. I believe healthcare providers should create a respectful, professional, and comfortable environment for their patients--this experience did not reflect that. read more

Excellent experience getting an understanding of what I needed and a clear path to get resolution. No wasted time, yet took the time to understand nuances on small pain points and my mobility issues. Excellent as a Baby Boomer resource for me. I am older, things need stretching and circulation. He helped get things started. Didn't gouge and is a passionate and compassionate Provider. Highly recommend. Hint, next to the Shell Station. with good parking. read more

We were referred to Casad Chiropractic by the VA after a very lukewarm other petaluma chiropractor experience. Upon arrival, we were somewhat surprised about the situation in the parking lot- many cars with people in them, smoking pot and doing whip-its. This is probably due to the headshop that also uses this parking lot. Definitely not a great first impression. Once inside, it was very basic and plain, but the lady behind the counter was friendly and checked us in promptly. Much to our surprise, we were then greeted by a bounding poodle mix (belonging to Dr Casad) who was a delightfully unexpected bonus to our trip there. Hubby saw Dr Casad the first couple of times, and was disappointed that the doctor wasn't listening to his concerns. This continued until the doctor adjusted him in the wrong spot in the wrong way and seriously hurt hubby. That weekend we actually went to the ER because the pain was growing and we couldn't fix it ourselves. Due to the drama with insurances and the excitement of working with the VA, we had to go back to this clinic. We did ask to see someone else and we were assigned Dr Rainbow, who was much better at listening to concerns and adjusted with empathy, thoughtfulness and care. Overall, sort of a mixed bag. I always feel uncomfortable parking in this lot, but there really isn't any other parking very close so the options are slim. I'd also definitely recommend Dr rainbow over Dr Casad if you can make that choice. They move people through the office really fast, so it's definitely not a super intense quality time spent kind of office. As long as you know all this, you'll be ok. We will be going back because that's what the VA has decided, and Dr Rainbow improved the situation for us. read more

See all

I have experienced years of back pain. After being involved in a car accident I met Dr. Bryan Kappe, D.C. at Casad Chiropractic. I have sought chiropractic care throughout the years and have never experienced better treatment. Bryan's expertise in his healing abilities is unmatched. After a month of services, I am no longer waking up in pain, my mobility has increased and I feel so many other positive changes that I did not know that I would gain. The front office assistant Tamara was friendly, warm and helpful throughout my process and this experience has brought me so much healing. I highly recommend Casad Chiropractic to anyone seeking high quality chiropractic care. read more

I am writing about Dr. Rainbow. My son has had some really tough food allergies/sensitivities that have been pretty significant. He saw Dr. Rainbow and I honestly have NO IDEA how to describe what she did but it was non invasive, no herbs, no adjustments, etc. and now he is eating anything he wants and is NOT SICK. I wish I was more knowledgable on this but all I can say is that it worked for my son and I am forever grateful! read more

I went to Dr. Latifa Rainbow yes, yes - that really is her name. it was for a groupon - of course, because as an elite yelper, I also am a VIP grouponer - I like my deals what can I say. Anyways - this is not for the chiropractic, but I heard the guy was good. ca va, ca va. So I went to her for this "odd" allergy treatment - and she was cool, but it seemed kind of hokey to me. So I did not buy in - however, having severe allergies for many many years since I was a child, and my one time appointment has continued for the last 2 years in me having little to no allergy problems??!! I don't know if it's voodoo or what - but this thing she did seemed to work. First year I lived in Santa Rosa I felt like I had a severe cold and could not breathe for weeks, since I saw her I have had none of that - NONE - I tell ya. When I was in catholic grade school I always had a big ol'hanky in my pocket for sneezing etc and it was not fun. LATIFA RAINBOW - GO GO GO read more

This review is long overdue. As someone that suffers from chronic migraines as a result of a few bad car accidents, I felt hopeless more often than not. I don't have health insurance. Ibuprofen is taken like candy, nothing ever really helps. Then, I found Dr. Rainbow and Dr. Casad. I can ramble about how amazing they are and how affordable they are, but really, we're all here to read about results... After a handful of adjustments, I was back to myself. Migraines are a rare occurrence and I don't feel like I'm being abused by my own body anymore. I would go in with a migraine and leave without one. If that's not a success story, I'm not sure what it. Thank you both so very much read more

The best chiropractor I have been to so far. Dr Casad is very experienced and knows the field very well. I was confused between a chiropractor and a physiotherapist for my back ache, glad I chose him. While fixing my present pain, he also fixed another back pain issue that was lingering for a few years. He also helped me with my neck pain. I'll miss him as I am leaving Petaluma soon. read more

I was in a car accident at the end of March. Slowly I began to develop pain in my thumb and eventually could not move my hand from right to left. The pain shot up my shoulder and into my neck. I went to my regular physician who gave me an extremely painful cortisone shot under the tendon of my thumb and disregarded the rest of my arm. One adjustment from Dr.Casad and I was 85% better the next day. I continue to see him and will until I'm fully healed. After that, I will start with him instead of my primary care physician. I look forward to working with Dr. Casad to improve all aspects of my health and wellness! read more

I continue to be amazed with Dennis. I've had elbow issues; knee issues; shoulder issues all additional to on and off back adjustments. It's amazing that my pain have all been related to chiropractic care. He's an expert in his craft. I would say don't accept pain as you're getting old. Consult Dennis because he can help you read more

I have been seeing Dr Rainbow for a few years now to treat various allergies. It's a strange idea that there is a treatment that can eliminate allergies. I have a hard time explaining how it works, but it does! After seeing her, my pollen, food and temperature sensitivities have disappeared! It hides that I can function during springtime is a miracle. My husband has suffered from a ton of food allergies as well as dust and pollen. He is now able to eat fruit, zero dust issues and can enjoy spring outside with me. Dr. Rainbow is super knowledgeable about health and nutrition and has wonderful patient care. I tell everyone about her, too bad people just want to take medicine instead of getting her treatments. Their loss! read more

I love Dennis and his office ,I've known him for years. I have recommended at least 10 people to him over the last 10 years and he has helped all of them positively with different issues. He is a little quirky, and if you were off on your diet or lifestyle he will definitely let you know. I have seen Dr. rainbow once and she is on the same page. Great office with evening hours to hard-working people it's a win-win for everybody! read more

I learned of the AAT allergy treatment by pure luck-- Dr. Rainbow just happened to be giving free allergy screenings at Whole Foods one day... At first, I was a real skeptic, (after all, who's ever heard of a computerized allergy treatment?) but after hearing her staff member talk about how it miraculously took away her husband's severe hayfever, I decided it was worth a shot. So, I have made an initial visit, and Dr. Rainbow found several food sensitivities-- basically, my body is resisting almost everything I ever eat. No wonder I've felt really lethargic and crappy for the past couple of years! I'm still in the midst of getting more treatments, so I will have to update my review later, BUT I wanted to encourage anybody who's curious to also read reviews about Berkeley Allergy Relief & Chiropractic. That doctor uses the same type of AAT treatment, and there are a lot more Yelp reviews about their practice. (I'm not saying go to them instead, just saying the treatment sounds totally legit.) In summary, based on the reviews and the brief research I've done, I'm very eager to get all of my treatments ASAP and hopefully feel healthy again. read more

I dont know what kind of shape my husband and I would be in if we didnt go to Dennis over 20 years ago. Our health is excellent. When we arent well Dr. Casad and Dr. Rainbow are the first we consult with before we go to see our regular doctors. Our children go to them and we are now bringing our grandchildren. They provide ways to avoid having to take drugs to mask a problem with solutions that allow your body to heal itself. We recommend them both to all our friends. read more

I went here twice. The first visit Casad adjusted 2 bones in my elbow, which did not hurt when I arrived. I had immediate pain and decreased strength according to his gadgetry. He said "Well, that shouldn't be like that and honestly I don't know why it is, but it WILL get better. Each day it got worse and worse and I had less and less use of my arm. I kept my second appointment because sometimes you have to go backwards to go forward and I wanted to give him a chance. I was waiting in the treatment room when Casad came in the back door and started cussing LOUDLY in anger. "Oh Mother Fuckers! I can't believe those ASSHOLES" and on and on and on. It was very distressing. He was ranting and raving to the woman he was treating first about HOW PISSED OFF he was. When he got to me, I said I was very concerned if he was "ok" to treat me. He went on and on about how angry he was, but when I mentioned 2 things felt worse the counter-attack started immediately He would not let me finish a sentence and was bullying. I decided I did not want him to touch me AT ALL because he was not in a peaceful state of mind and said so. He pushed me to do muscle testing so I agreed, but not to any further adjustments. Well folks, I FAKED the muscle testing to see if he would call me out and ask me to participate. I used about 20% of my existing strength and for each test he said "See? You're stronger than you were last week and I did my job." Over and Over. He likes to post numbers on the internet of pain levels from gadgetry that only he sees. Then he shows you the paper, with the numbers he wrote, off a gadget that only he saw and says "See?? Your numbers are up from last week. I did my job" So if he posts my personal health information, like he did with other patients without their permission who complained - you will KNOW that the numbers are completely made up and mean nothing. They do NOT have my permission to post my personal health information on the internet. He admitted that he "may have" strained my tricep muscle making the adjustment. YES - HE DID! I teach fitness for a living and cannot survive if I can't use my arm and said so. He condescendingly said "it will heal, just be patient . . ." Guess what? My work is not going to be patient when I cannot perform my job because my arm no longer functions properly. And More . . . . Casad "apologized" for being so Angry, but could not let it go and started ranting and raving AGAIN!! He said "Sorry I'm so pissed off, but the reason I'm so mad is because I've been dealing with a black mold issue, and I ordered 3 dehumidifiers and when I get here today, I see they sent me a refrigerator instead!!!!!!!!!!!!" I said - "Oh yea? Well I've been in Neuro ICU since 6am this morning because my sister had to have emergency brain surgery and had her skull cut open!" He said exactly - and I quote: "Well I've been dealing with my problem for 3 months now . . ." That's when I hit the door. He reached out and grabbed my arm on the way and Told me to take my chart to the front desk, I said take it yourself. I told him I would pay anyway and he said and I quote "I don't want your money or your business" Anyone who cannot separate and/or control their own anger to the point that they are venting on their patients, should not be doing bodywork of any sort. I never want anyone who is Furious and Yelling to be touching me. There seems to be a lot of Power of Suggestion in this practice, which I understand can be an effective tool for some. It would be comical if it weren't so scary. People can be seriously hurt from incorrect adjustments and when the person snapping your bones is unable to control their anger???? no thank you read more

A very disturbing incident happened to my husband who had been seeing Dennis for 10 years. He had received temporary relief for back pain. However the pain became chronic and my husband told Dennis he would seek Orthopedic adivise. WHEN DENNIS HEARD THIS HE TOOK MY TRUSTING HUSBANDS HEAD INTO HIS HAND AND SHOOK IT VIOLENTLY! THIS HAS CAUSED MY HUSBAND SEVER CHRONIC PAIN. As a so called professional we believe he knew exactly what he was doing. I call this behavior PHYSCOPATHIC read more

Update. 3/16/16 Lowering to 1 star. Took them 3 1/2 years to write a response that is 100% false, that includes my private patient information. I have since learned how much BS a chiropractor actually is and will never attend another, let alone this practice. I will maintain I have seen this doctor on 4 occasions, not the 7 he wants to claim. I've never seen Dennis Cassad and couldn't pick him out of a lineup if my life depended on it. Their office was paid, they feel it's ok to share patient information and maintain lies to look better on Yelp. I feel I'm justified in my claim. Namaste, you turds. I went here 4 times because I liked the ladies personality and I listened to her suggestions to come regularly for adjustments. I then realized it wasn't helping my back pain. I quit going and they sent me a bill for an appointment I never made or attended. I feel the two stars is solely on the fact the lady was nice...a but out there, but nice. I feel that I was wrongly billed, and wouldn't recommend that other people go here because of that. read more

We are very happy with Dr. Casad. Knowledgeable, caring & wants you to be healthy & if you are willing to learn, he will teach you how. Dr. Rainbow & the receptionist are nice too. read more

I have gone to this clinic for 14 years. Their staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Casad and Dr. Rainbow treat you like family. They both have many years of experience and get you out of pain fast. I also used Dr. Rainbow for allergy treatment. Previously I did allergy shots once a week for 30 years which did not work. After the first set of allergy treatments, I was able to go three years without any allergy symptoms or taking any medication. I went back after three years for a short set of treatments and have not had any problems. The allergy treatments have made doing yard work and going outside possible for me. This has been remarkable. I really would recommend them for both treatments. read more

this is regarding the allergy "treatment" I can't say I definitely know that what they are offering is ineffectual, but I can say that it is unrecognized by the people whose job it is to recognize effective solutions to medical problems of all kinds. some useful links, but I highly recommend you do your own search. https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/13926/ http://www.allergy.org.au/health-professionals/papers/unorthodox-techniques-for-diagnosis-and-treatment the Wikipedia article on allergies is also fairly interesting. not saying don't go, just do some research first, consider what these people have to gain by misleading the public, and ask tough questions. people have been profiting from public ignorance for centuries and it isn't going away, the only defense is skepticism. read more

Dr. Rainbow has treated me for neck and upper back issues. Her chiropractic skills are amazing. I went from being in extreme pain to a very low level of pain in one session. Her adjustments provide immediate relief. I also see Dr. Rainbow for "food allergies". After experiencing a lot of digestive issues for months I went into her office for allergy testing and saw immediate improvement. Her approach is unique and it produces results immediately. I have spoken a number of times with Dr. Casad but have not been treated by him. I hear nothing but good reviews about both Dr. Rainbow and Dr. Casad. read more

If you are looking for a clinic that is bright, shiny and new this is not it. However if you are looking for a place of true healing and only the best of intentions check this place out. After a very trying pregnancy and delivery my sciatic nerve was pinched. It got to the point where I was in tears just trying to lift my new baby. After one treatment I had relief. Dr. Casad was absolutely wonderful. I came back and say him a handful of times to ensure that the treatment held up, and it did. I also took my 6 month old in to see Dr. Rainbow about possible allergies; she was extremely gassy and not sleeping well. After one treatment we noticed a difference (she had an allergy to a few proteins in human milk). I would recommend this place of healing to all my friends and family (and have). Thank you to everyone at Casad Chiropractic! read more

I've had allergies for almost 40 years now. Dust, grass, trees, pollen and food allergies. From one day to the next (after each specific treatment) it was gone. The grass allergy flares up every year for a little bit, depending on what's going on outside and then I just come in for a tune up, but the rest of the allergies are gone. It's really unbelievable. I've tried so many things before and Dr. Rainbow's treatment was the best one by far and really consistent. read more

I am super impressed with the services of Casad and specifically Dr. Rainbow! I was having major problems with sudden "gluten intolerance" to foods I have eaten my entire life. I saw Dr. Rainbow 4 or 5 times and can't believe what I can eat again! I am amazed by the difference. This was after a medical doctor basically told me this was going to be my "new norm"......NOT! read more

I went first to Casad Chiropractic for neuropathy treatments, due to a toxic reaction to Fluoroquinolone antibiotics. I have stayed for excellent chiropractic treatment from Dr. Rainbow, ionic foot baths to remove toxins, and general assistance with my health issues. The staff has been very receptive to my ongoing battle with the debilitating effects of Fluoroquinolones (Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox, Floxin, plus some drops for eyes and ears for infants -- please be sure to avoid these drugs!), unlike my medical doctor, who avoids or denies the effects. Dr. Rainbow's chiropractic treatments are helping me with a realignment after hip surgery. I highly recommend the clinic for their healing abilities. read more

Dr Casad is the best!! He has been treating my stubborn sciatica for several weeks and every time I have been discouraged, he greets me with a smile and his never ending patience. With perseverance, I am seeing an end in sight! His entire staff has made me feel welcome and I am so happy that I have chosen this office for my chiropractic care! In addition to my adjustments, Dr Casad has helped me to understand the importance of health and well-being through chiropractics. I have worked closely with him in conjunction with Dr Rainbow, another wonderful and caring Dr! Throughout my life I have suffered from chronic respiratory distress, catching every bug that I come in contact with. I have been on antibiotics and steroids for many years, several times a year, and Western medicine has told me that nothing more could be done. I had some allergy testing done by Dr Rainbow and she found three areas in which I needed treatment. The treatment was painless and simple and I was not sure what to expect. Along with the allergy treatments, she recommended some natural supplements to add to my daily routine, which I have now been on for two months. What I didn't expect was recovery!!! I cant remember breathing in without a 'rattle' in my chest...but it is gone!! I can't remember being able to take a deep, diaphramatic breath in years, but I can now! What a difference this has made for my every day life! I am excited at the prospect of living a life without illness. Thank you to both Dr Casad and Dr Rainbow. They have changed my life! I highly recommend this office to anyone seeking chiropractic care! read more

Dr. Rainbow is a treasure. She is the very best. Don't allow yourself not to experience her magic.

I see Dr. Casad for all of my aches, pains, and any other weird stuff that comes up. It feels so wonderful to have someone on my side whose goal is to actually make me feel better rather than cover up the problem with prescription drugs. I recently saw him for severe ankle pain. I was at the end of my rope and feeling pretty down. After I got treated my ankle felt sooooo much better! Thank you!!! read more

Dc Rainbow is great, my neck pain has disappeared completely after the 3rd visit with her. She is very knowledgeable and skilled. The staff at the clinic is great, friendly and nice. Best chiropractor office in the North Bay! read more

Dr. Rainbow is a gifted healer who has enabled me to give up having to take painkillers on a daily basis. As my condition improved she reduced my treatment schedule. She is far more concerned about her patients than she is about her income. I have seen five chiropractors during my lifetime and Dr. Rainbow is simply the best. read more

I will speak only about Dr. Rainbow, as a chiropractor, since that is my only experience with this office. I have degenerative disc disease and was having to take painkillers just to be able to work at all. Thanks to her I have not had to take one in about 3 weeks. I am pain free. I cannot recommend her highly enough. You owe it to yourself to see her if you are in pain. read more

Both Dr. Casad and Dr. Rainbow are experts in their field and it shows. I have been treated for back pain and hip problems. They always make adjustments that are effective and make my problems go away. They are both very knowledgeable in all aspects of health and offer the best alternatives to big pharma. Tamera in the office is super friendly as well. Highly recommended. read more

The friendliest, easiest people to talk to. And that's not always easy when you are in pain! I'm a hairdresser so my back, shoulders and neck need constant attention.....they are so gentle you don't even know that you are being adjusted. I have been in for routine appointments and also some emergencies & every single time they are very accommodating and friendly. I've called multiple times in excruciating pain and was seen the same day. Love these people! Even if you don't have any major issues, come in and get adjusted, it will change your life read more

My family is riddled with allergies. My husband is allergic to everything. Chicken, eggs, beans, fish, soy, nuts, pollen and on and on and on. My daughter is allergic to Wheat, Gluten, eggs and dairy. So out of pure desperation I called Dr Rainbow. Its all natural, no pills or shots. Its a $25 initial visit to check what you are allergic to and she explains how she can cure you. I sent my husband in as the guinea pig and he came back so excited and so hopeful. We thought, what the heck, its not very $$ so whats the worst that can happen? 3 weeks later, my daughter and my husband are eating foods they never could eat before. Foods that would normally put my husband in the hospital. My mother in law was terribly allergic to cats and now has no problems around my cat. Im VERY sceptical and it actually works. You cant imagine how our lives have changed. Before I would go through cooking light magazine and I wouldnt be able to find 1 recipe I could make with out major substitutions. If you have seasonal allergies, she suggests coming in before spring so you get cured faster. Dont hesitate. CALL Good luck read more

Dr. Casad is extremely professional and attentive to my husband. He goes here very often to get assistance with his back pain- and always leaves feeling 100% better. definitely recommended . read more

Dr. Casad is amazing. He helped me with a lower back injury and was able to give me great relief. I could hardly walk in with the pain in my back at a scale of 10+, when he was done I was at a pain level of 2. I now go in on a regular schedule basis. Dr. Rainbow was so kind and caring when I first went it for my consultation. Now every time I see her she will ask how I'm doing. Everyone in the office is great. read more

I came to Dr. Casad as my husband was referred to him by a mutual friend. Let me start out that the doctor helped my husband, who has a couple of inoperable fractures in his lower back, and has been in excruciating pain for YEARS. My husband is finally in much less pain. I have not seen my husband walk, sit and just exist like this for years. Dr. Casad has brought my beloved man back to me, and I cannot be more appreciative or grateful. Thank you so very much for that!!! I have been suffering from major TMJ pain for many years. It had gotten to the point that I could not open my mouth more than 3/4 of an inch, it was constantly flared and I was just so miserable. My husband made me go to Casad Chiropractic because of the relief he received, and that he spoke with the doctor about my horrible TMJ. They both believed that they could help me. I was scared to death going in. I was afraid whatever was going to be done to me would cause even more pain. I had previously tried acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, injections.....everything....and they all caused more pain, swelling and discomfort. I finally dragged myself there, he adjusted me, and I had INSTANT relief. I was so much more comfortable, in much less pain, I couldn't believe it!!!! I gave him a HUGE hug!! I was so excited!! I have been seeing him regularly, and I am a new woman!! I even ate my first banana....I haven't been able to open my mouth wide enough for years!! I do hope that anyone who even has an 1/8th of the amount of pain I was in, will read this and trust Dr. Casad. I was skeptical, scared...well no, terrified....and he was so professional and made me realize I didn't have to live my life in that kind of pain. I am truly grateful for Casad Chiropractic for not only helping the love of my life, but for also helping me actually be able to enjoy life again. Thank you so very much for helping the both of us. Saying this just seems so small and insignificant compared to how we feel about the help and care we have received from this wonderful man. read more

Dr. Rainbow is an amazing chiropractor. I've been seeing her for years and she consistently keeps me tuned up and healthy with my back, hip and knee issues. I love how she treats and cures my back and hip issues, but also has a vast knowledge of good nutrition and other great advice to help keep me healthy. I highly recommend her...she will help you and treat you as if you are her only patient. read more
