As a chiropractor myself, I'm very selective about who I trust with my own care--especially during pregnancy. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Moss! Her expertise in prenatal chiropractic care is outstanding, and I felt confident and supported from my very first visit. I began seeing her in my second trimester when back pain and pelvic pressure were really starting to make daily life challenging. Each adjustment was gentle, precise, and incredibly effective. I always left feeling more aligned, more mobile, and far more comfortable. It was clear she truly understands the unique needs of a pregnant body. The office is welcoming and well-organized. I never felt rushed, and she always took the time to explain what she was doing--even though I already have the background--which shows how thorough and patient-centered she is. Thanks to her care, I slept better, moved better, and felt so much more prepared for birth. As both a chiropractor and a mom-to-be, I can wholeheartedly say this is exceptional prenatal care.

Marilyn is well worth five stars! I saw her two weeks ago with a baby in the breech position. She worked on me twice and I followed her guidelines and my baby turned! She also resolved some ligament pain that had just presented itself the day before I saw her the first time. All of her adjustments are very gentle yet very effective. I am so pleased with her capabilities. I bought a package of visits and now that baby is turned and my hips are well aligned, she has offered to provide massage for the remaining visits. Today was a combination of chiropractic and massage, it was was incredible! Marilyn is such a joy to meet with, we were laughing so hard during my first visit I was actually in tears. 10 stars!!! read more

I went to Dr. Moss to do bodywork for my 4-month old before and after his tongue tie release. Dr. Moss is such a gentle, caring, skilled practitioner. I don't know why more of her clients haven't written reviews for her since she comes highly recommended from my breastfeeding group. Dr. Moss takes time with you. She talks to you and genuinely wants to know how you're doing. She shares personal stories that make you feel like you're not alone. I would highly recommend her for your infant needs. read more

I came to Marilyn when I was 36 weeks pregnant. my baby was in posterior position and I was told Marilyn can help me "spin" her. I also had horrible hip pain and back pain. Marilyn told me my pelvis was not aligned and helped fix it. she uses different techniques including cranio sacral and massage and the pain got much better. i was able to sleep through the night after seeing her! The baby was in a good position when I gave birth, not sure if Marilyn was responsible for that or not, but she was a great help. looking forward to seeing her to "fix" my back and neck again after I'll recover from the birth read more

I started seeing Dr. Moss recently in preparation for child birth. Even though I've been lucky enough to have had a comfortable pregnancy as the third trimester came so did the lower back pain. This was even making it very hard to sleep at night as every time I shifted positions the pain would be enough to wake me up. Dr. Moss was able to identify the problem, explain it clearly and treat it effectively. The night after going to see her I was able to sleep in such comfort! As the days went by the pain didn't return. She's also currently helping me with some other aches and pains of pregnancy which hopefully will end up translating into a more comfortable birthing experience. She came highly recommended to me and I would highly recommend her gentle pre-natal care to any expectant mamas out there :). read more

Marilyn Moss restored my hope. I was in a car accident, first one of my life, which left my back, shoulders and neck feeling completely unbearable. I would sit at my desk at work and hold back tears from the pain. I saw a Dr. at the hospital they scanned x-rays and said they couldn't fin anything they could treat. This is when I began looking for a chiropractor on my own since doctors weren't any help. I came across Marilyn and from the first appointment i was 90 percent better instantly, literally instantly, when she adjusted my back. I had to give her a hug. I went back for one more follow up appointment a few weeks later and after the second appointment I feel 100 percent back to my old self again. Before seeing Marilyn, I was beginning to think I was going to forever have back, shoulder and neck pain, but thanks to her those worries are gone!! This also happened between December- January. My last appointment with her was in early January, and its mid-April now and haven't had any pain since! Marilyn is a blessing go see her!! read more

Dr. Moss has been taking care of my chiropractic needs for almost ten years. She is a wonderfully caring and adept practitioner.

Dr. Moss is a Godsend! I found Dr. Moss through my midwife during my pregnancy, as I was having some back, foot, and wrist issues, and was worried about the position of the baby. Dr. Moss is incredibly knowledgable, and so very, very kind. She has become not only my Dr., but my friend. She has a loving free spirit, and her energy is calming, confident and light-hearted. You will feel like you've known her for years bc of her warm nature. Her adjustments are gentle yet effective- she helped me sleep for the first time in weeks w/out the pain keeping me up. Ultimately, I lost the baby at 39 weeks due to a cord accident, and Dr. Moss reached out to me at the hospital and afterwards when even my OWN OB/GYN did not. It meant the world to me that she was there for me during the whole process: start to bitter end. You will fall in love with this woman, 5 stars! read more

Marilyn is a wonderful practitioner. She has treated my infant boy, my husband and me. Her bedside manner is so gentle and caring, she even came to my house when I was recovering from giving birth. Marilyn is so great with new moms and babies and is very intuitive as she treats her patients. She also provides massage during the chiropractic adjustments which helps the adjustment last longer and is super relaxing. You can also schedule appointments online which is very convenient. read more

I only leave 5-star reviews when something all but makes my day. Dr. Moss did, and if my lumbar spine doesn't move around too much the next few days she'll make my week. If by some stroke of magic I'm back to function without further adjustment, I'll be beside myself. I'll make it as short as I can. Why I give Dr. Moss a 5-star review: - I gave her a weird situation (one-time visit because I'm from out of town) - She was communicative by phone and e-mail (despite that she was booked much of the day with clients and I made the appointment the same day) - She was accommodating of the fact that I'm a student and worked with my limitations (she even told me that as long as I'm a student I should always mention it when getting service as many places will also accommodate) - When I walked in the medical history clipboard was on the couch with a "Welcome Riki!" sticky note on it (keep in mind she already knew I'm not coming for repeated visits so it isn't like being extra attentive was of huge monetary benefit to her) - She checked top-down for any other possible muscle tension or misalignment related to my discomfort - She knew she had one shot at helping me and rather than using that as a reason not to try, she used it as a reason to be extra attentive - She went over our scheduled hour and didn't bat an eyelash at the fact; I didn't even notice until I left and checked my phone (she closes at 7 on Fridays yet I left at 7:24) - After adjustment she gave a long massage and said my lower back muscles were very tense, which I had suspected was the reason that my vertebrae keep moving out of place even after repeated visits with my other chiropractor Dr. Moss did more than she needed to in absolutely every way and the adjustment was enough to get me unlocked - as long as I don't do anything crazy to myself in the next few days, I should be able to sit without pain through several car rides around the bay area this weekend, which was the main thing I wanted treated. If you're in the area and have some back snaps (even if you're not pregnant which I most definitely am not) you will not regret seeing Dr. Moss. read more

As Janna B says, Dr Marilyn Moss really does care about her patients. She believes strongly in taking the time for prenatal care primarily and is personable too. She is gentle and takes time to listen first to your concerns. She works mostly on the ligaments and muscles to reposition everything, uses the Webster's technique, so if you dislike hearing your bones crack, she might be more in line with your style. She takes time to explain what she is doing, and can identify the source of pains directly, when you may just have a vague idea of what the pain is. I got two separate recommendations from my OB as well as Harmony Birth Center. Seems like she comes highly recommended. She says maybe about 80% of her patients come in for prenatal care, and apparently a lot of them right now have problems with breech, which she says is her specialty. A visit with Dr Moss really feels like a treat and not another errand on the to-do list, so make sure to allot about an hour of your time to see her. If you're not so flexible with your time, better to let her know at the start of your appointment and make sure you get that time managed appropriately. She's an important person to have on your birthing team. ****Update to this review: I have gone back to Dr Moss for my second baby and have been more than impressed with how she is able to find my aches and pains. Amazing bedside manner. Sometimes she locates my pains before I know I have them! She also does Cranial Sacral, which is nice to loosen overall tension. When seeing Dr Moss throughout the third trimester of my pregnancy pro-actively I found myself with fewer aches and pains as my pregnancy progressed! read more

Dr. Moss is a really good listener which I really appreciate and she's very patient. I was 37 weeks pregnant when I first begin seeing her. She helped me with the Webster technique to encourage our baby to spin. She is very knowledgable about breech pregnancies. I'm now 38 going on 39 weeks I am currently still seeing Dr. Moss. The ultrasound this Friday will reveal if baby has changed her location. Dr. Moss also taught my husband massage techniques on my lower back. I absolutely adore Dr. Moss and really appreciate all her help. read more

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Moss. One of my clients told me how amazing Dr. Moss is so I scheduled to see her because I was experiencing some serious neck pain and vertigo. Dr. Moss took the time to not only listen to my issues and concerns but talked me through why I was experiencing the level of stress on my neck and she had real "treatments" that could help me with my vertigo (I had been back and fourth to the dr.'s getting no help or relief) I feel that Dr. Moss is so knowledgable and is so tuned in to the body, you just feel open and relaxed after every visit. Her adjustments are gentle but effective and you leave feeling well informed and able to feel like yourself again. Thank you Dr. Moss for all your help I can't thank you enough. read more

Dr. Marilyn Moss is in my opinion the best Chirpracter in the bay area. I first met Dr. Moss 5 years ago after a bad fall down some stairs - she was the Doctor that the spa I then worked for used for injuries. She used not only gentle chiropracter care, but also cranial sacrial to get me up a running and back to work... She has also helped me with Virtigo relief and get's me into her schedule ASAP if I am ever in pain... She truely cares for her patients. The one thing that I have appreciated greatly over the years is how Dr. Moss listens to what is going on with your body and takes as much time with you, asking questions and making sure that all the manipulations feel comfortable. She has NEVER "cracked" me... She is SO gentle and is trained in SO many types of techiniques and applies them when needed. If you have any back problems/hormonal imbalances I highly recommend calling Dr. Moss up beacuse she WILL help you too! read more

Dr. Moss got those hands of magic! My wife was suffering a severe case of sciatic pain during her pregnancy on one side of her hip. She weren't able to walk nor sit without pain. Her gynecologist and primary physician both said that there's nothing can be done to better the situation. They gave some pain killer, a set of stretching exercises, told her to deal with it, and they charge our insurance for a bunch of money. Guess what! After trying so hard (my wife was in pain) to do some of the exercises, the condition got even worse. She came back to get consultation about seeing a chiropractor to see if that would be a better option. Both of them said that seeing a chiro would not help anyway. But what other options do we have? So I found Dr. Moss info on the internet and contacted her for an appointment. The reason I chose her is because it looks like she has a lot of experience with pregnant women. She was very responsive and on time with our appointment. We found out that Dr. Moss handles all of the business herself from A to Z, including booking appointment with you and perform treatment on the patients. This is a huge plus to us. After listening to our description about the pain, Dr. Moss took a few minutes to examine the areas. She also found a few more spots with problem that my wife didn't realize because the pain in the hip was overshadowing them. Dr. Moss then told us that it's a dis-alignment of my wife's hip bone and she can definitely fix it. She went on to tell us that we might not even need to see her again because after this first session, my wife should be back to normal. She told us that if the pain doesn't go away, we can see her again but she'll try her best to fix everything in one session so that we don't have to drive far down to see her. She even taught me how to massage my wife at home so that if any other pains come up, I would be able to treat my own wife. By this time, I was confident that she's a legit. Then go the treatment that I don't need to describe here. But my wife was all better walking out of Dr. Moss office. The next day, she was all herself again without any pains. Even though we didn't need to see Dr. Moss again for the 2nd time, we went ahead and book her for a 2nd meeting just to be sure. The second visit my wife came there was mostly for a good massage by Dr. Moss because the pain already went away completely. If you have pregnancy sciatic pains, you absolutely need to see Dr. Moss. read more

I've been to my share of chiropractors, none of them have Marilyn's skills and empathy. I was pregnant when I first saw her and had serious sciatica. She spent extra time with me so I could walk out of the office in much less pain. Her tips for what to do at home also helped tremendously. I came back to her with my baby and she has done adjustments and checkups on both of us...my husband is next. She's generous with her time and very gentle. Her deep massage and chiropractic adjustments combined with craniosacral work - really the best and well worth it. read more
