The staff was polite and helped me with check in fast. The doctor took time to go over my concerns and explained what could be going on in a simple way. I felt listened to and not rushed. The room was clean and everything seemed well organized. Would come back. read more

Dr. Colgin is simply amazing. I stumbled upon his practice when I was searching for a chiropractor near me (Foster City) for some knee pain that had started creeping up on me when I was working out hard in preparation for my wedding in June 2018. After exploring all the services he offers, I realized he specializes in much more than just the typical chiro-related stuff. Dr. Colgin is more of a wholistic wellness expert who is in-tune with all of the latest diet trends (paleo, ketogenic, etc).  So in a nutshell, I went in for an adjustment and ended up signing up for a 1-month detox program called Detox 360, which can also be considered a physician assisted wellness journey. I say wellness because it was about way more than just 'weight loss'. This detox program taught me so many things about an ideal diet for general health & wellness. I thought I knew everything I needed to know until I followed this detox religiously.  I had hit a plateau in my weight loss journey but the detox helped me break through and overcome! I lost ~15 lbs with the detox and hit my goals for the wedding day! But aside from the weight loss which was my main goal, I also regulated my sleep and unleashed all kinds of energy I didn't even know I had. There is a lot to be said about a Paleo, Gluten Free, Ketogenic diet. It changes everything! When you're truly treating your body like a temple, the return is legit. You will feel better. You will look better. Your clothes fit better. You show up better for your loved ones and your work.  Dr. Colgin's detox program comes with weekly checkins where you get to track your progress with real data. It's great when you can actually visualize your progress. And to top it all off, Dr. Colgin is a sweet, caring, friendly, humble individual. I highly recommend Dr. Colgin for chirporactic and general wellness services. You will not regret it and you'll make a new friend! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Chris off and on for at least 10 years now. It's not always convenient during the week for me to get to his office on time because he's all the way down near Foster City. However, he is available on most weekends and quite flexible, so we can arrange appointments to fit our schedule. Chris has a great technique for chiropractic along with a cool friendliness that will really win you over. Along with his regular treatments, he also has massage machines and an infrared laser that works on soft tissue. Both he and his wife (who also works at the office) are pictures of perfect health, and Chris always has the latest news about supplements and regimens that can help you improve your own health. Often, he will even have these products to sell to you. If you're looking for more than just chiro, and are interested in whole body relief and health, Dr. Colgin has a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and technique at your disposal. read more

Dr. Colgin is like having your own personal Dr. Oz! I was 184lbs (only 5ft tall..) and I felt uncomfortable in my own skin and my weight gain was out of control. When I started dieting and exercising on my own, I was seeing minimal results which led to even more frustration and depression. I looked up SF Fat Loss to see if maybe someone can just "zap" the fat off of me and I was referred to Dr. Colgin instead. Once I heard about the Chirothin program, I started the next day. Let me tell you, changing your eating habits is hard but you get what you put in and the results are life changing. I was a size 12 and am now a size 6. I feel healthier, stronger and more in charge of my life. Now when I see that I am gaining a pound or two, I know exactly how to course correct and stay in control. Dr. Colgin is a great health coach and continues to help even after the diet is over. He is up to speed on all the latest health developments and has some cool technology to support overall body health. Signing up with Dr. Colgin is well worth the investment, I feel like I got way more than I paid for. read more

Cranial facial release technique from Dr. Colgin changed my life for the better! -Initial problems: inability to breath and deviated nose to the left due to years of boxing. I went in hearing amazing things about Dr. Colgin and how CFR could open up my air ways and it did just that. It was quite painful when the balloons popped in my nose but it adjusted my septum back into place. When I got home, even my girlfriend noticed a significant difference on how my nose looked more straight. -After day 1, I was able to sleep through the whole night without having to wake up because I can't breath. I usually can't lay turned to the left side but I was finally able to breath laying on that side and actually fell asleep on the same side. Second visit: Dr. Colgin thoroughly explained the process of adjusting different segments of the body and letting the nervous system heal heal the subluxations (misalignment of a joint). He started with the cranial facial release technique on my nose again which helped open up my clogged sinuses and the ability to breath. He then went above and beyond to give me an adjustment on my cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions. Furthermore he checked for extremities alignment from my hips, knees, to ankles and realigned what was out of place. Dr. Colgin is an amazing practitioner and he is very genuine in just wanting to help out any way he can with your overall wellness. I would definitely recommend Dr. Colgin to anyone who's looking to improve their efficiency in their daily's activities and overall health! I've been going to Dr. Colgin over the past few months and have notice a significant improvement in my everyday functionality and optimal health! He's awesome and is living proof that chiropractor can make a big difference in peoples lives. read more

I called in to try body contouring as was referred to Dr. Chris first. I had lost over 100lbs prior to meeting Dr. Chris. I plateaued for well over a year and gained about ten pounds over the summer. I had heard about his type of diet many times but didn't exactly have the "push" to start. Dr. Chris, is encouraging and as dedicated as you are. With his diet I dropped about 30 pounds and am moving along in the right direction. I plan on sticking with him for a while. read more

Not only did I lose 25 lbs in 6 weeks but kept losing until it is now 30. I feel better with more energy and the constant support that isn't judge mental is the best of all. I was so worried that I would just feel like I was starving for 6 weeks but I that was never the case. Invest in yourself. YOU are worth it!!! read more

I have lost 40 lbs. -- and I feel great I needed to lose weight to get a knee replacement approve by my doctor. My primary care doctor who is Kaiser decided to sign me up for their weight loss program. I went to the orientation and decide that it wasn't for me and also it cost $4300. I started looking around for a weight management doctor and that's when I found Dr. Chris. I was frustrated with my inability to lose weight on my own. I was working my way into a size 18. I had gained 50 pounds from my Thyroid condition and drugs. With Chris guidance -- and cutting discipline on my end -- by July I had lost 30 lbs; learned what (and when) to eat for energy, satisfaction, and proper nutrition. Today, I wear a size 12, and working my way down to a size 10 in the next 30 days. I have changed my whole eating habits and have a better understanding on what not to do. I no longer need the knee replacement because I have lost so much weight that I don't have any more pain. I now go to the gym three times a week and workout with my trainer. My goal is to lose 50 pounds because I am turning 50 this year. read more

Dr.Colgin has been super supportive through my weight lost journey. I appreciate his encouragement and never giving up on me. I have been working with him since July and I have lost 25 lbs... and I am going to continue to work with him Until I get to my goal. He is truly amazing. read more

I have been coming to see Dr. Colgin for about 15 years now. My 4,3, and 18-month-old also enjoy getting adjusted. My aunt even comes from San Diego to get adjusted from Dr. Colgin. I wish I could give him 10 stars. I've had chronic back and neck problems for years and he is the only one that I will let adjust me and has helped me move forward without medication. He takes time to get to know what your problems might be an adjusts accordingly. I am not sure what I would do without him. If you want to feel better get adjusted by Dr. Colgin. You will absolutely love him! read more

I would like to write a review about a wonderful experience I had that just started at the beginning of July 2020. I had just been through a very tough year on a personal basis and I had really lost a lot of who I was and I had gained some weight and I was looking for a way to put my life together and come forward and see if I could turn everything around. I had the great fortune to see my neighbor walk by me one weekend out in the yard and we were just chatting with my other neighbor on the other side we were talking about weight and he turned and asked me are you talking about losing weight and I said yes and he asked what we were doing and my neighbor said she had just lost weight on keto and I said I'm looking to go lose some weight that's a safe and really good way to move forward! He very excitedly turned around and said I lost 38 pounds in eight weeks and I almost fell on the floor and I asked him where did he go and he told me he went to Dr. Chris Colgin and I immediately went online and looked him up and read the reviews and I was duly impressed! Mind you it took me another month to just get myself ready tell myself "if you're going to pay for this you have to follow through you've gone through the worst maybe you can get a rainbow here somewhere!" I picked up the phone one day as my frustration said "Time To Go!" and left a message... had an online zoom interview with Dr. Colgin, the next thing I know I've gone into his office and started the program and I'm very happy to say that I've already lost 20 pounds and I've only got 10 to go! It was a great experience and one that I would recommend to anyone! Dr. Colgin and I get along so well and he's just a wonderful man, answers all your questions, I text him sometimes and he reinforces me all the time! Now I'm doing another 12 week program just to get to the finish line... it's been a wonderful experience and I feel so much myself again when I look in the mirror I go... "hello how are you you're looking good!" If you really want to turn your life around and just really feel much better physically and emotionally I recommend this program! Utmost I recommend Dr. Chris.... he's originally from Hawaii so you're going to get a lot of little Hawaiian messages sent back to you and it's very impressive! Dr. Chris I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart because you really really gave me something that was very special and I know I did the work but the support from you was 99.9% of everything! So thank you! Dimitria Letsos read more

Dr. Chris is so awesome!! It is so wonderful to be able to track and communicate your progress daily with Dr. Chris. It helped to devise plan of actions to move forward. It doesn't matter how many times you have dieted or altered your diet... it helps to have a different perspective and support unit. I highly recommend IChoose Wellness Center. Dr. Chris is the BEST!! read more

I lost 22 lbs from the program with Dr. Colgin. Before I met Dr.Colgin , I tried different methods but I ended gaining more after. Dr. Colgin is very supportive. He checked your daily weight and gave me advice what I should. Without him, I wouldn't not be able to do this on my own. The best part about this, after the program, I am able to maintain it. My metabolism has changed. I did not gain weight easily like before. I feel more confidence about myself. Thank you for all your help and support. read more

Dr Chris is a great coach,so encouraging and knowledgeable and there to support every step! I've lost 25lb so far and feel great! Whole process, scheduling etc is a breeze. You have someone in your corner! read more

Dr. Colgin does work around your schedule and ultimately has left me satisfied in removing any pain I have. However, he is very pushy in regards to making a plan with you and quickly changes his attitude from nice to rude when he realizes that you're not going to help his pocket book beyond a couple visits. Personally, I am looking for a Chiropractor that cares about my health rather than spending his time trying to be a salesman. His wife is super nice and sweet. However, it's super awkward and uncomfortable when they disagree and/or argue while you're there. Nevertheless, the service is prompt and Dr. Colgin knows his stuff, but it's not worth the overall experience I get when I go there. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Colgin for over 6 months. I started visiting him for his chiropractic care and was very pleased with my results. I then starting visiting him for the weight loss program. He has been a great guide through my weight loss journey. He is patient, knowledgeable, and I cannot say enough about the support he provides to help me reach my goal weight. read more

I am a professional dancer and have been adjusted by Doctor Colgin for almost ten years now. My joint pain is relieved, my headaches are gone and I can sleep better at night. They have a great new club plan that is $99 per month unlimited visits. This allows me to come in and get adjusted with my busy schedule for a great price..it is really a deal! read more

I had an unexpected outcome on my visit. I am formerly a professional opera singer. I have not been in this line of work for several years, and currently only sing along with the radio, in the car. My voice is not even close to the level it once was, which is to be expected - you don't use it, you lose it. However, after a couple months of upper back and neck pain, I finally made the time to see Dr. Colgin. Aside from the instant relief from lingering pain, the biggest surprise was the next day in the car. Singing along with the radio once again, my voice produced strength and resonance that I had not heard from it in several years. I did not expect this, but should I ever get back into that line of work, I will make chiropractic adjustments a regular part of my vocal hygiene protocol. read more

What an eye opener today! Saw Dr. Colgin for a healthy edge weight and body mass assessment. I was so impressed with the cutting edge technology on body assessment and am very excited to begin my weight loss journey. Dr Chris was very empathetic and passionate in me reaching my health and wellness goal. Thank you for your time and support. read more

Where do I begin. I first heard about Chris from a relative who had some amazing results with their weight loss. I decided its time for me to make a change to not only lose weight but to have a healthier lifestyle. I started with the free consultation where Chris explained the process of how everything works and has coached me daily. Nothing else has worked for me and im now down 33 pounds in such a short amount of time. I feel amazing and cant thank Dr. Colgin enough for guiding me every step of the way. You're Awesome! read more

All I have to say is, when it came to loosing weight, even after 50 ( and I know how hard that can be) it was never easier. I lost 30 pounds in 42 days and I didn't have to go to the gym. His support during the process was great, it totally kept me accountable for my health. Now its been 2 months since I did the program and I exercise and make healthy choices. Don't get me wrong every once in a while I enjoy my IPA, the difference now is I learning how to balance it and keep the weight off. Gizela S. read more

Been seeing Chris Colgin for over 2 years now and he has helped me stay in my career as a Massage Therapist. I always recommend him to all my clients. The adjustments I have received from Chris has helped me prolong my ability to massage and now I come in once a week (when I can) for daily maintenance. His philosophy and advice to stay healthy physically and mentally is a great way to integrate the chiropractic work with everyday wellness. I love the emails I receive with health tips. read more

This place is great. I swear by my weekly adjustment. As a software engineer I spend way to much time hunched over a computer which has led to lots of back problems. Dr. Colgin has pretty much eliminated all my aches and pains which allows me to keep doing what I love. Very grateful. read more

So I got into a car accident about 3/4 months ago and ever since then I've been having the worst lower back pain ever. I actually had to call off work a couple of times because of how much pain I was in. I finally gave up and decided to look up a couple of chiropractors. I don't know why but Dr. Colgin really caught my attention so I gave him a call and I had my consultation the next day. He listened to the issues I had and told me what he was going to do to help me. He had me lay down and literally it felt like magic was being done to me. I felt like an old lady before this but once I stood up I felt like I was 22 again. Definitely looking forward to more appts with him. The best description I have is "it's like a kid walking out of a candy store" read more

I have hypothyroidism and Dr. Colgin helped me achieve my weight loss goals. The Chirothin program is fantastic! I feel great, look great, and feel healthy which is most important. Dr. Colgin has been extremely attentive throughout the process. He texts me everyday and makes sure that I am achieving my weight loss goals. I would highly recommend him. Please see the pictures I have added. The Before and After Carolina ! read more

I am a Professional Softball Coach and am on the softball field sometimes upwards of 12 hours a day - playing catch, hitting, pitching and training softball players ages 6-18. After playing for nearly 30 years including college and professional... and being a mother of two, my back and body has taken quite a beating. For the past year my back has just felt out of place. I have certainly abused it by asking my husband and friends to just "pop my back". I finally reached out to some friends and they recommended Colgin Chirporactic. Last week I went to my first appointment at Colgin Chiropractic and NO JOKE after an awesome exam and some stretching he adjusted me and my arms fell to the ground during the adjustment. For the first time in over six years I felt instant relief and without any pain or discomfort during my adjustment. What I really liked is that he let me know what was going to happen before he did it and he was VERY gentle! No pain at all while he was moving me. He was very thorough and made me feel better instantly!!!! I feel like I can go back to a more active lifestyle now and look forward to seeing him again! Thank you very much Dr. Colgin for being life changing! read more

Dr. Colgin is charismatic and knowledgeable. I appreciated his initial care, but he just wasn't the right caregiver for me. You be the judge - he's either really thorough and wants to give you the right amount of care, or he's as good a salesman as he is a chiropractor. read more

Game changer. I found iChoose Wellness Center online as I was looking for yet another way to lose weight. After I turned "xx" years old, I felt as if my body had a mind of its own. Losing weight and keeping it off was a constant struggle, and frankly, depressing. Things that worked before no longer worked, and I tried just about every diet under the sun and on TV, LOL! Then I met Dr. Colgin. Initially, I thought I would be happy losing just 10 pounds and when I passed the 10-pound mark, it just kept going... down 10, 15, 18.... I don't want to say I'm back to the old me, it's more like, I found a new me. My experience with iChoose Wellness has been life changing. When I walked in for my initial weight loss consultation, I felt so down and sad about myself because I felt like my weight was controlling me. If you've struggled with your weight I know you can relate. However, all that has changed now. Dr. Colgin's positive attitude, support, and partnership in my weight loss journey have proven to be most invaluable. If you're ready to lose weight and make a positive change in your life, make your way to iChoose Wellness Center and let me be the first to wish you, Happy New YOU! read more

Chris has changed my day to day life! I now have very little pain and only see him for routine maintenance. Chris is very easy to talk to, he listens well and remembers your needs every visit. Previously I saw a Chiropractor atleast two times per week to minimize my pain. I realize my situation will differ from others but after one visit Chris took all my hip and neck pain away. If you need lots of work or just like to get adjusted a few times per month but can't afford it, Chris has an amazing unlimited plan for $99 a month. I have easily spent that in a week at other Chiropractors. I can't thank Chris enough for what he has done for me! read more

Dr. Chris Colgan was incredibly helpful with my irritating rib alignment issues from working out. He's incredibly knowledgeable, and takes his time to explain what he does, how, and WHY--which is very unique. He's flexible with scheduling, which is super important as my work schedule varies widely. I know that my health has benefitted from Dr. Colgan and I recommend his services to everyone! read more

Update: 2 months after the program still keep losing for another 30lbs.. see attached latest photo from October 2018. And today is actually slimmer than that! read more

Losing weight is somewhat easy! You shed the pounds and bam....you are going back to your normal "habits"! The question is, are those good habits? Are you maintaining your weight? Are you taking care of yourself? The answer is no! After I had my second kid, I was never able to maintain my weight! I wasn't eating healthy! I decided to give the Chirothin plan a try! I am not gonna lie, the first week was hard, but after that....man....it was a breeze. But that's not it! Dr. Chris Colgin is amazing! He communicates with you every day! You go see him frequently! He is all over it! He takes passion in what he does. I recommend this plan to everyone that wants to become healthy and maintain a healthy weight! It's not a weight loss program...it's a program that helps you get healthy, while you lose those few extra or few too many pounds...and the best part is...you keep it off. What are you waiting for! Call for an appointment! read more

I was down on my luck and was pretty discouraged a few months ago before meeting Dr. Colgin. I did everything I felt like I was supposed to do to look and feel better. I lost 30 lbs for my wedding but then have started gaining some of it back again after changing jobs and relocating. I had a visit with my PCP, explaining to her my energy level was low but I've kept myself on a pretty strict diet and exercise regimen. She was pretty understanding and ordered some labs suspecting it may be either my thyroid levels and/or mental health issue. With all that was said and done, my cholesterol level was high and all my doctor told me was to watch what I eat and consider being more active. I was livid. I sought a 2nd opinion and found Dr. Colgin on Yelp and decided to give it a try. My main objective was to feel and sleep better. After meeting with Dr. Colgin and getting a comprehensive lab test done, he insisted there was nothing wrong with me and if anything it was likely stress that was driving up my LDL levels. We decided together that the 4-week detox/cleanse program combined with some homeopathic drops and supplements will get me back on track. Four weeks later, here I am feeling great! I am sleeping through the entire night and not feeling as tired at all during the work day. I no longer require morning coffee. Overall throughout this entire process, I learned a lot about my body and its relationship with food. I am more mindful and I look forward to keep at it. An added plus - Dr. Colgin always made himself available to answer any questions and offer words of motivation when needed. Thanks so much for everything Dr. Colgin! read more

I've been coming to Colgin Chiropractic for 4 years now and Dr. Colgin has been outstanding in his professionalism, guidance and service. His adjustments have improved my health quite a bit--I had previously suffered from a couple ailments which have since been remedied. I KNOW for certain that his knowledge and expertise has been beneficial in my recovery and he continues to talk, share, and guide me towards optimal health. He's a pretty cool guy also...easy to talk and charismatic. I even brought my brother in to see him, and he has worked wonders for him. Both of us are very happy to have Dr. Colgin in our corner. Keep up the good work. read more

Dr. Colgin is FANTASTIC to say the least. I was in a car accident and was referred to him by one of my old coworkers. I was having very bad back pain. I came in and after him treating me, I felt brand new, netter than new! He really takes the time to explain to you how your body works and why it's beneficial to you. I was going to cancel an appt. because I was getting sick, he said to come in because it'll make me feel better, so I listened and in fact it prevented me from getting full blown sick, it was amazing. Thank you Dr. Colgin and staff, you guys are the best! Thank you for getting me BACK to normal (get it?!? back, he worked on my back? Ha! ) ;-) read more

I've been seeing Dr. Colgin for the past 8 years for chiropractic services. He is awesome!! He told me about his weight loss program that he was offering. I knew I had to do something as my clothes were starting to get tight and I refused to go to a bigger size. It was getting to be very depressing. I started his program in October of 2015. In a little over 3 months, I have lost 27 pounds and now my clothes really don't fit but all for the right reasons. I have dropped two sizes following his plan and I am continuing to lose the weight. It's not a diet were you eat cardboard tasting food but the right food that is good for you! Anyone interested in losing weight should definitely talk to him about it. He coaches you along the way and shares your ups and downs! He works with you every step of the way.. Thanks Dr. Colgin for your help in helping me succeed in my weight loss journey!! I truly appreciate it. read more

I would definitely recommend Dr. Colgin! He is very kind and accommodating, plus just after a few visits I noticed a huge improvement in my back pain. I was worried about the cost because in the past I had a rough time paying other chiropractors but the doctor was able to make a plan that helped me be able to afford the treatments. read more

My husband and I started going to Dr Colgin for back adjustments last year, but he helped us realize our back problems would be improved by shedding that extra weight we were carrying around, and we finally realized we needed to do a more drastic weight-loss program, since our metabolism is just not what it should be. We just finished the 6-week losing phase and together have lost 55 lbs+ so far. We could never have done it on our own without all the guidance and support of Dr. Colgin. We feel so much better and have really made some adjustments in our cooking and eating habits that are sure to benefit us from now on. The ChiroThin plan was straightforward to follow, and food was easy to prep and healthy. No exercise involved. It was definitely worth the investment in our health! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Colgin for years as a chiropractor, and recently over the last couple years gained about 30 pounds of stress related weight. Knew he had a program called ChrioThin and thought it was time to try it after unsuccessfully trying to lose the weight through other programs. This program is awesome and the support you get from Dr. Colgin is amazing. Always checking in daily so you have that support system! The other thing I love about this is it was all real food and none of those protein shakes. I've completed the program and have lost 31 pounds!! Feel like myself again and have more energy! If you're having problems with unwanted weight you have to give this program a try! You will not be disappointed! read more

Dr. Colgin is hands-down the best chiropractor around. Not only does he do excellent preventative maintenance work on our backs and necks; he has saved us time and money with other physical problems. I injured my finger doing martial arts - had it x-rayed, wore a splint for weeks; nothing helped. I mentioned it to Dr. Colgin during a routine visit and he worked on the finger, stretched it, popped it - within a few days, it was good as new! My husband had had a problem with his foot literally for years. A podiatrist had made him buy special inserts and said he might even need surgery. Dr. Colgin worked on his foot during a visit (OK, my husband said it really hurt, LOL) and when he left he said his foot was 80% better. After a couple more sessions, his foot has not given him pain since. This guy is the best! TRUE STORIES!!! read more
