dr. gene his the best chir0pract0r ever in the bay. attentive and very pr0fesi0nal i rec0mment him 100%

I thoroughly recommend Dr. Plotitsa. He is very thorough, friendly and listens to his patience. He knows exactly how to do an adjustment and when you walk out of the office, you feel awesome. read more

Dr Plotista is a very caring and detailed chiropractor! He typically does your first appointment a bit longer and will show you around the office and get you used to the clinic. His visits always involve stretching, some sort of massage or myofascial release, and then your adjustment. Dr Plotista has let me come in last minute for a pinched nerve, accommodated my screaming newborn in the background, and is always exceptionally nice and professional. His front desk receptionist (Jeanie) is always smiling and has a great sense of humor. This office is a breath of fresh air and leaves you feeling so well taken care of. Highly recommend trying Pacific Chiropractic! read more

I've been going to Dr. Zollinger as required for about 6 years now. Perhaps on 3 or 4 separate issues. Dr. Z is the real deal. I won't go anywhere else. I drive from the outskirts of San Francisco just to get treated here. After a few sessions, I feel tip top again. Thank you very much for tuning up my health each and every time. read more

Doc Z is fantastic. Still can't say enough great things about him. Interestingly enough, he is now taking care of an injury for myself and I am submitting my own Yelp review. Not for my husband this time - go figure. I went to see him several weeks ago because of neck pain and sporadic arm numbness. Doc Z gave me a quick adjustment and an assessment. He thought I had a pinched nerve in my neck. He immediately put me in a neckbrace and asked me to wear it for three weeks to see if we could get some of the pressure off of what he thought was very irritated nerve. Sometimes the simple things are the best things and hopefully this would fix itself. That sounded great to me. I would come to see him every other day for adjustments and see if we could help things along with my pain as well. Good plan. I had to go see my chronic pain doctor for something else in the meantime, and he noticed my neck brace. When I told him what was going on he was in full support of Doc Z's approach. Wasn't that nice to hear? Both my chronic pain doctor and my chiropractor on the same page? Well three weeks went by and my neck and right arm were not much better. Both Doc Z and my Chronic Pain doctor wanted me to get an MRI to see what was going on. Wouldn't you know, Doc Z had been right all along just from looking at me - i have a pinched nerve situation going on within my neck that is affecting my right arm and causing numbness. This guy is just a master of all things spine related. I am hoping to avoid the cervical spine injections that my pain doctor and his team are suggesting, since I would much rather go the chiropractic route with adjustments and some physical therapy. I am much more confident putting my spine and my nerves in the hands of Doc Z. read more

I have been going to Dr. Z for over 20 years when he was on Crespi Drive. After fixing my back I was on a twice a month maintenance schedule until I retired in 2001. I see him once a month now and take recommended supplements for better health. He has helped my wife with a few problems not related to bones or joints with Laser technology. He truly cares about you and doesn't promise that chiropractic will cure everything that ails you, as some other practitioners try to do. He changed my life. read more

The first time I stepped into Pacifica Chiropractic (now owned by Dr. Gene Plotitsa, who took over from Dr. Zollinger) I was lucky enough to be the last patient of the day. I got a 90-minute treatment instead of 45 or 60 minutes. My experience with chiropractors so far has been that they crack various spine segments and that was it and when I got lucky I had pain relief. My C4-C5-C-6 vertebrae got fused so I need a gentle chiropractic approach. The treatment I received by Dr. Gene was one of the best ever with a chiropractor. He gently stretched my spine, encouraged circulation with an activator, and massaged my back muscles with the help of different chiropractic modalities. My pain points were discovered during his thorough evaluation. I was shown exercises and stretches that I can do at home. I felt very much respected and listened to. I wholeheartedly recommend Pacifica Chiropractic and Dr. Gene Plotitsa read more

I was on vacation with my family in Pacifica when my back began to give me discomfort. I finally broke down and looked up a local chiropractor. Luckily, I found Dr. Gene. He took the time, after hours I believe, to help me out. He was very friendly and I immediately felt as ease in his office. He's very professional and thorough. After about a 45-60 min session, I felt relief and I was able to enjoy the rest of my vacation without pain or discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Gene at Pacifica Chiropractic. read more

This is the worst experience with a chiropractor I've ever had I went to him for three visits and the quality of care received was incredibly poor. He comes across as arrogant and is not very knowledgeable at his trade compared with the other five or six chiropractors I've seen over the years. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. read more

Doctor Z is the best. I've come in to see him a handful of times. Most of them were in pain. He will listen to you and find the appropriate treatment to suit your needs. I can't say enough good things. read more

Only have been here once so far but from my first visit my neck pain defiantly subsided. Have another appt Monday and defiantly will be my new place. read more

Don't go here because of the warm and friendly treatment, go here because Dr. Z. is a wiz. He quickly diagnosed and fixed me (more specifically the multifidus muscles). Years of plying his trade as made him a master ! Hopefully I won't need to go back soon, but if I do I know I'll be in good hands. read more

I went with no expectation and came out feeling like a million bucks! I've been suffering with my lower back pain for quiet sometime. I've been to a few chiropractors and I've never had a thorough understanding to what was causing any of the pain I've had. The visit was super comfortable and i will be back as needed. Awesome guy, he knows his stuff! Not to mention the front desk lady is sweet. read more

Dr.Z is the best in what he does !! He's very caring and compassionate!! He will work wonders with your aches and pains!!!

I came here about a year ago with some back and neck pain that other DR's couldn't help naturally. One visit with Dr. Z and the pain slowly subsided and now I am pain free between my visits! read more

Dr. Zollinger is the best. I was having the worst back pain to the point of not being able to walk and he helped alleviate that. Nice and friendly people. read more

Let me start by saying I was a very skeptical when it came to seeing a chiropractor for my back issues. I have been dealing with back pain for over 13 years and for the past 2 years have been in severe pain, with the occasional time off work. Every doctor I have been to has said I needed surgery and to medicate myself with pain killers and muscle relaxers. After talking to Matt W who also wrote an excellent review, I decided it was time to try something new...and boy am I glad I did. Dr. Z is amazing! After one adjustments I am feeling like myself again! I am not having that sharp pain that keeps me from doing the things I love like playing with my kids, working, and of course sleeping more than a few hours at a time like I have been the last couple of years. I will most definitely continue to see Dr. Z for all my back issues from now on and look forward to a life pain free! So take it from someone who was a skeptic! Even if you think you might have something wrong with your back or are just a little stiff here and there go see Dr. Z!!! You won't regret! read more

Dr. Zollinger is great! He knows how to fix what's hurting and get you back to feeling normal. Whether it's my sore neck, shoulder, or back, he makes adjustments to help them feel better in no time. read more

Saw Dr. Zollinger today and had a absolutely wonderful visit. My neck, shoulder and arm had been bothering me for months. He provided a thorough consultation and examination. Then heat and stretching before adjustment. This was followed with ultrasound. I left feeling great. Super relaxed and best of all with less pain. Dr. and his staff are great! read more

I liked this chiro at first but time went by & I didn't really feel better.. The neck adjustments aren't done effectively enough for my needs. I did switch doctors, unfortunately for me they are located in the same "office space" and that made it uncomfortable for me. Esp when he saw me & then called and left me a curt voice mail asking me if he should retire my chart. I thought that the tone and manner he did this in was pretty unprofessional. read more

This is a review of Dr. Zollinger. We both decided to give it a try after reading some of these reviews and I must say that we weren't disappointed. Dr. Zollinger is very caring, attentive and professional. This is nothing like your usual office visit, as he will actually spend time with you when you'll be the only one he's attending to during your visit. So neck problem is under control and back is doing better, too (after just one session! - should have probably kept at it but I'm not very good at at it, as soon as I get my sleep back LOL!) Will definitely call him again before anything else, if I get any more of this back trouble. Recommended to those seeking help and relief! read more

So I have gone to Dr. Z on and off for about 20 years, so went to his office old office on Crespi Dr. and his new one on Manor Dr.. I have to disclose that he and my husband are very good friends, however, I will honestly tell you my experience. Since we are friends, he treats me as such when he sees me, so I can't tell you about how I would view his interaction if I didn't know him, and was just a new patient. However, I can tell you that his chiropractic treatment has helped me and my husband tremendously over the years. I was in a car accident about 25 years ago, and ran over a dead cow on highway 5 at midnight going about 70 mph with no seatbelt in a small car. Being young and unexperienced, I thought I was fine until a month or so later, I started losing the feeling in my left hand. After initial chiropractic treatment elsewhere since I didn't know Dr. Z at the time, the feeling did come back to my hand. However, the effects are long lasting, and there are times when my neck completely goes out, and Dr. Z has always been there to the rescue for the last 20 years. After being rear-ended this summer, again thinking I was fine for a day or two, the third day my low back was hurting so bad it was affecting work. So off to Dr. Z I went and he treated my back, shoulder, and knee (as I had jammed my whole right side in the accident). I am pretty well stable once again thanks to Dr. Z. My husband got rear-ended while he was last in line in a traffic jam on the SM Bridge about 8 years ago. He was hit by a suburban going 40 MPH, and shoved 15 feet into a vehicle in front of him. His car was totaled and we felt lucky that he was still here. However, the damage to his back, neck and leg was pretty painful. Dr. Z treated him and got him to the point where he was pain free for the most part. He still gets problems with his back/shoulder if he does something too streneous but back to Dr. Z he goes, and the treatment/exercises Dr. Z gives him gets him back to normal. I have arthritis and no cartilage left in my knees, and his combination of natural meds/supplements have done more for my knees than any surgery has done so far! So although he may not be your "typical" MD type, his treatment has helped my husband and I over the years. read more

This is Dr Zollinger's new location apparantely, as he is listed on Yelp but under his old address ... I wanted to add this, so you can find him as he is a great Chriopractor and I absolutely recommend him. After having gone to the same Chriopractor in Redding for over 20 years, even though I moved to the Bay Area over 10 years ago (I obviously was not able to go regularly!), I finally bit the bullet and tried a chriopractor close to home and was so happy to find Dr. Z! I always feel much better after a visit. read more

Doctor Z has always been awesome especially Medicare has this person in their insurance which is great. Does this adjustment quick and easy. Thanks Doc read more

Dr. Z is the best. I first went to a chiropractor a few years ago and had an awful experience so I was pretty hesitant to try it again. After some nudging from my wife, I decided to see Dr. Z for my chronic back pain. He listened to my concerns from my previous chiropractic experience and respects the areas that I am uncomfortable adjusting (neck). I would recommend Dr. Z to anyone who is uncomfortable with chiropractic care because he truly listens to his patients. read more

I've been scared to try chiropractic care for years, even though I know I have needed it. Finally, after numerous massage therapists advised me to try it, I found out my kaiser insurance covers it. So, I checked out a few places they approved and decided on this place, thanks to great reviews! Those reviews were not wrong either! Dr Z is really easy going and the whole process wasn't scary at all. First appointment was long, and I appreciate the time he took with me. Everything was explained so that I understood what was going to happen with each step. The adjustment was not painful at all! The only pain I ever felt was when he was checking range of motion, and of course, that's why I was there. I'm looking forward to feeling better and better each time!!!!!! read more

Thank god for Dr. Z! Best chiropractor ever. I have known him since 2005. Should have never stopped going. Now I have tons of hardware in my spine and he still found a way to keep my spine aligned and relieve a bunch of tension in my head, neck and shoulders. One of the best I know. read more

Dr Z is probably one of the best Chiropractor out there. He really cares about his patients.Before I met Dr Z. I was under care with Dr. Gregory Cameron in BUrlingame and boy oh boy. What a big different, both are major in chiropractics but Dr z seem to be much more passionate/knowledge about his job than the Dr Cameron. Cameron seem to just want to collect my insurance money than really taking care of my well being. I'm just so glad that I change my Dr. Wait until you meet Carrie the massage therapist. She has the hands of a goddess. She's not just any ordinary massage therapist. You have to go see her in order to know. She has the warmest hand ever@! read more

the care with this doctor was fine, it was his unprofessional ism of his staff and himself. And there very unorthodox and unorganized, and down right demeaning behavior. I started therapy due to car accident. I have been going back in forth with the cat insurances to pay. I ended up billing my own insurance to cover cost. I asked dr Z and his staff to send me copy of bills etc. And every time i would call, know one knew anything about my previous attempts to them. I went into Dr.'s per the receptionist and when I did arrive I was "berated" in front other customers ( believe his name was Joshua who was sitting in waitng room) by Dr. Z and his receptionist Jeanie. Over a copay, and told me that " I showed up at a very inconvenient time" ( when I was asked to come in by his receptionist)He then seemed very confused as to my treatment and that my insurance has paid them. It seems that he is very stressed out and needs more help at his office very disappointing to be treated like a 3rd rate citizen, when you are trying to take care of your medical bills and recover from an injury. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. Unless you like to be treated poorly by a business. There are much better chiropractic offices around the bay. read more

My dad is a chiropractor who lives in Southern California, I have grown up getting adjustments my whole life some better than others...I got out of my car yesterday and a rib popped out of place. I was in horrible pain, I could barely breathe without it hurting me...I called Dr Z...he got me in and out the next morning...3 days before Christmas even! I have been adjusted by a lot of chiropractors in my life...honestly; Dr Z did a fabulous job! My pain has already eased, he talked me thru the whole thing. I would recommend Pacifica Chiropractic and Dr Zollinger to anyone who is experiencing any kind of back or neck discomfort. The office was clean and nice, easily accesible and his staff was really friendly. Thank you again Dr Z! Great job. read more

Dr. Zollinger does great chiropractic work. Him and his assistant, Jane, are both caring and do what it takes to find the cause of what's hurting and how to fix it. read more

dr. zollinger is wonderful. Jeanie is also amazing. for the first time I have felt that I am working with a doctor who genuinely cares. he even gave us a call ON A SUNDAY simply to check up and see how the previous day treatment had been for us. I would recommend him to everyone. he genuinely has made us feel at home and feel that he deep down cares about healing us and making our back pain go away. 2 thumbs up!! read more

I highly recommend Dr Zollinger! He calls me his "weekend warrior" as I come in to him after weekend sports related injuries. My most recent issue was severe sciatica all down my left leg with pins & needles/numbness. I'm 2 treatments in and feeling the difference. He really pays attention to my symptoms to diagnose specifically what the issue is and how to treat it. Oh, and he just called me today to check on me - where on earth do you hear of that?!?! He truly cares. He's very talented and is a genuine human being. If you need help, go and see Dr Zollinger. read more

Dr. Zollinger is the best! I had sciatica where I almost couldn't walk with numbness down my leg. I received the best of care and was so much better after my treatments. They apply heat, electric stim. and along with adjustments I felt like a new person. He's very gentle and attentive and I couldn't recommend him more. Easy parking. Go see Doctor Z. and you'll feel better too. read more

I've been using Dr. Zollinger's services for almost 2 decades. He's gotten me through many serious injuries. Pinched nerve damage from a car accident, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis of the foot. I have a physical job which takes toll on my body. Dr. Z has state of the art equipment and knows what he's doing. He goes the extra mile! The office is at a convenient location with parking in front. If I could give him 6 stars, I would. read more
