This year marks a decade of being a patient of Dr. Dan Shapero. It's hard to think of a time where I was not getting regular adjustments as it has become such an essential part of my regular self-care routine. I spend hours on my feet between both of my jobs and having Dr. Dan treat my inevitable body ailments allows me to continue to live my busy life without compromising my wellness. Even though his Dad jokes have gotten worse, his practice and office space have only improved. I appreciate that he stays up to date with the latest technology and provides his patients with the opportunity to utilize those new services when applicable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over the past ten years, his right hand woman Suzie has also become an integral part of each appointment. She effortlessly keeps us both on track between rescheduling requests, appointment reminders, and the occasional delicious baked good treats![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are looking for a chiropractor that truly cares about your health, Dr. Dan (and Suzie) are the best! read more

Still getting great care from Dr Shapero and referring friends/family (every person that I've as sent to him has told me that they were relieved of their pain and continued care as needed, plus sent friends to him too ). I' m also excited for his new lovely location as he continues to help so many with his profession. He's worthy every penny and time spent for healing! read more

Those of you who have physical pain should read this: I have been under Dr Shapero's care for approximately three years, following more than two decades with another chiropractor in downtown San Francisco. I live with chronic cervical pain that ranges from mild to severe and, at its worst, radiates down through my hips and into my feet. I see Dr Shapero three times a month. The difference his treatment makes is stark: it is quite literally the difference between being housebound in pain and getting on with my life in relative comfort. Over the years I have consulted numerous chiropractors, and too often appointments have ended in frustration. Dr. Shapero is in a different league. His command of anatomy and neuromuscular pathology is exceptional, and he applies that knowledge with precision. He does not simply treat symptoms; he identifies the underlying source of the pain and addresses it methodically. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Equally important is his communication. He listens carefully, explains clearly, and ensures you understand what is happening and why.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of chiropractors can produce a "crack" and send you on your way. That is not expertise. True clinical skill lies in combining refined technique with a deep understanding of biomechanics and nerve involvement. Dr. Shapero does exactly that. My neck is particularly stubborn and technically challenging to adjust. He gets it to release every single time. There is no guesswork, no rush, - just consistent, effective treatment. I would recommend Dr Shapero without hesitation to anyone experiencing musculoskeletal pain or complex physical issues. [[HIGHLIGHT]]His approach is precise and controlled, his fees are reasonable, his San Francisco office is conveniently located near public transport, and I have never waited more than five minutes to be seen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In short, if you want the highest standard of chiropractic care, this is it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And his assistant, Suzie, is an absolute delight and makes the best pastries![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I confirmed directly with Anthem Blue Cross -- twice -- that my PPO plan has no deductible and a $15 copay for in-network chiropractic visits. Dr. Shapero told me I had a $250 deductible. When I told him my plan had no deductible, he said I was wrong. He then presented me with a "Corrective Care Package" on practice letterhead -- a prepaid cash plan of $1,224 for 12 visits -- and told me to expect minimal insurance coverage (~$20/visit). After two visits I was charged $225 with no itemization. When I called to question it, the charge was dropped to $57 -- which is the "$57 New Patient Special" cash rate advertised on their website. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only after I called a second time citing my verified benefits did the office call Anthem, confirm my coverage, and correct the charge to $30 (2 × $15 copay).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A different in-network chiropractor I visited the same week correctly charged me $15 with no deductible. I would strongly recommend verifying your benefits directly with your insurance company before agreeing to any payment plan at this office. read more

I love Dr. Dan's chiropractic work and I appreciate his breadth of knowledge of the whole person. He incorporates cranio-sacral work, relieving pressure and misalignment in the structures of the skull as well as suggesting an excellent herbal tea for a lingering cough (mullein, if you're wondering) when I had pleurisy this winter - [[HIGHLIGHT]]skills and information we don't find (or even expect) in every chiropractor, and it contributes to my confidence in his work and wisdom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very grateful! read more

I've seen Dr Dan Schapero for years. He has this spinal decompression table that gently stretches and releases your spine in a way that feels equal parts science and magic. It's one of those "how have I lived without this?" experiences. He works a lot with athletes, and as a 56-year-old rower who pushes hard (and occasionally pays for it), I can say he absolutely knows how to get bodies back on track. Every visit feels targeted, thoughtful, and effective--no cookie-cutter adjustments here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On top of that, he's genuinely funny and just a pleasure to be around, which makes a big difference when you're trusting someone with your body.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Easy downtown San Francisco location, incredible care, and results that keep me coming back from overseas. Highly recommend. read more

I found Dr. Shapero late December 2025 after dealing with hip issues that just wouldn't resolve. I'd broken my foot in 2023 and spent months on both regular and knee crutches, and my body never quite recovered from the imbalance. Even with doing Lagree 6-7 times a week to rebuild strength and stability, I still felt tight and out of alignment. I was a little unsure about chiropractic at first since I'd only ever seen forceful adjustments, but Dr. Shapero's low-force approach is gentle, precise, and effective. In just a few months, I've experienced noticeable changes. I'm sleeping better, my neck tension has improved, my hips feel less tight, and my posture is better without me constantly thinking about it (except for when I'm actively doing Dr. Shapero's recommended exercises). Day-to-day movement feels easier, and my Lagree workouts feel more controlled and balanced. I can actually feel I'm getting stronger. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Booking is simple, Suzie is friendly and super responsive, and the office feels calm and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would absolutely recommend! read more

As a WFH professional, my lower and mid back pain has been bothering me for some time now. After just one session, there was a noticeable difference in mobility and most importantly, relief. His new office space in the historic Hobart Building is great and easily accessible for my commute downtown. I can't recommend Dr. Shapero enough! read more

Highly recommend Dr. Dan Shapero! I came in three months ago struggling with neck and back pain, and the difference in how I feel today is night and day. While we are still working toward a full recovery, the improvement I've seen so far has been life-changing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He's very knowledgeable and makes sure you understand the treatment process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely worth the visit if you're looking for real relief. read more

HI all - It's been a while since I've logged on to Yelp to review - I went to Dr Dan's adjunct office in Mill Valley. Sweet little spot. Dr Dan is as proficient as ever. I've been a patient since 2005 after an injury and Dr Dan patched me up. Lots of years and lots of good care. Lots of changes to the office - not only has he opened a busy little Mill Valley office, but he's relocated his primary office to Market Street which is closer to me. All in all, do become a patient of Dr Shapero. He's worth it. B. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Dan is the real deal folks... I have worked with Shapero Chiropractic in the past and once again I've returned.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] His knowledge, guidance, tools and practice has improved my posture as well as work/life balance.

As an 82 year old woman, I developed arthritic lower back issue. Serendipitously, my house painter recommended Dan Shapero. After a few sessions,I am already experiencing some relief. Dr. Dan has different modalities that are safe and conservative. He is a master with many years experience and I highly recommend him. His assistant Suzie is welcoming and helpful plus he offers an amazing massage therapist. He is the person to go to with any issues. read more

I've had 8 different chiropractors over 30 years and 2 cities and can say with complete confidence Dr. Dan Shapero is one of the very best. He took on Dr. Richard Robertshaw's clients upon retirement, and Dr. Robertshaw, a master of healing arts, would only do that if he believed in Dr. Dan. Because I have chronic neck pain from an injury in 2000, I need chiropractic work once or twice a month. What I like best about Dr. Dan is that he does not over-adjust. Other chiropractors have done very scary things when they worked on my neck, but not Dr. Dan. Another plus is that he's trained in sports medicine and has given me several exercises to strengthen weak muscle groups and ease joint pain from arthritis. His 10 visit package deal also includes a free massage at the downtown office location. The Mill Valley location has easy and free parking. I heartily recommend Shapero Chiropractic! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Dan is our go-to chiro for RoCo dance teachers in Mill Valley, and we love him![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been seeing him on and off for a few months and I've definitely noticed improvements. My body feels lighter when dancing and teaching my classes. His professional and attentive approach has really helped me feel more balanced and mobile. Highly recommend! read more

I had been suffering from sciatica for several months and traditional chiropractic care was helping temporarily, but the pain would come back within a few days. Several years ago I had some success with decompression therapy for a disc in my neck, so I searched for a chiropractor that offered this service for my low back. I was lucky in that Dr Shapero popped up and was about 2 blocks from my office. What I really appreciate about Dr Shapero doesn't just put you on a decompression table and send you home. He performs a complete analysis of your spine each visit, adjusts you accordingly, then on to the decompression table, and finally sends you home with a new stretch or exercise to help your healing at home. Suffice it to say I am feeling much better today than I did just a couple of months ago. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Looking forward to seeing my chiropractor is a funny thing to say but i actually do love my visits![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr Dan and his staff are just the best, so caring and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very glad i started coming here, as he has brought me much relief along with some laughs!!! read more

I've visited Dan's office for a couple of problems in the last several years. Most recently because of problems with sleeping due to back pain. He put me on a treatment program of of his chiropractic services plus some stretching on my own. I feel that the stretching complemented his services to get me into alignment more quickly. After each session I've noticed an improvement. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Much relief, along with Dan's humor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]His assistant, Suzie is delightful and helpful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr Dan is great! Very informative with explaining the process and listening to his patients.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The office is calming and comfortable and the clown fish make the experience even better. I had immediate back pain relief after my first appointment. If you're looking for a chiropractor in San Francisco, I highly recommend checking him out. read more

I've been seeing Dr Shapero for over a month now and I've had remarkable improvements in my lower back pain and overall health. The office is clean (with pretty saltwater fish tanks!) and the front desk is well run. The package that I bought included several.sessions on the traction table which is such a relaxing and relieving tool. It also included two massage sessions. I've had regular chiropractic work for most of my life and I can say from experience that this office is really well run. After Dr Richard Robertshaw retired, I tried a few chiropractors in other locations, but I'm really happy to have settled with Dr. Shapero. I'll be back regularly and I can highly reccomend his practice. read more

Shapero Chiropractic - One of the office fish tanks! - Chiropractors Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm back with an update to my review - 2 years on, and I still see Dr Dan regularly. He's added more in office days, which makes it super easy to book. We're basically in a maintenance period, and I can definitely feel the difference in my body, especially my hips and neck, when I go long periods without seeing Dr Dan. I had a major surgery in Dec that meant I couldn't see Dr Dan, but once I returned, he fixed up a package of visits, included some goodies like the decompression table, and we're back in biz. I've been going to chiropractors off and on for YEARS due to major back pain issues - the surgery I had in Dec 2023 is ultimately what fixed the pain, but seeing Dr Dan made living with the pain bearable, and since the surgery Dr Dan's care has resulted in improvements in my body that I wouldn't have expected. Go see Dr Dan. read more

Unethical business practices Before booking I called the office to check whether they are in-network with Anthem PPO, and Suzie confirmed that they are. I came in to a not so great start: they had booked 2 other people for my time slot. Dr Shapero spent a few minutes negotiating when my 'hard stop' was. I had to choose between canceling my later plans or getting a truncated appointment, and chose the former. We had a salesy appointment in which Dr Shapero said he'd tell me the results of my evaluation at a follow-up appointment (WTF?). tl;dr of the conversation that ensued at the end: "Gotcha! For the last 10 months Anthem has actually dropped us. You're responsible for all fees out of pocket! Now let's sign you up for a package." When I followed up with Suzie to point out that it's not cool to lie to patients, she wasn't even apologetic about it. read more

After checking Dr. Dan's excellent reviews, I decided to consult with him as I was going through severe pain on my right hip which stopped me from running. I am an avid runner who runs either half marathon or full marathon almost every weekend. I was able to walk with discomfort but being a marathon runner, this injury which was severely hampering my running journey to finish a marathon in all the 50 states of US. Before showing to Dr. Dan, I went through few acupuncture and cupping sessions, but it used to only help me with temporary relief. After the first consultation, Dr. Dan confirmed that my right and left hip has some imbalance and due to this my right hip is currently in locked state which is causing all the pain especially when I am running. He told me clearly that it will take 12 to 13 sessions to heal. As per our detailed discussion, it gave me confidence that I am at right place so decided to give it a shot. After few sessions, I was able to feel big difference and slowly started jogging with slight discomfort which was such a massive relief for me. I knew it's a matter of time before I will be able to run pain free. So, just kept following Dr. Dan's advice and his recommendation of exercises. Once, the sessions were over, I was able to run without any pain and was so ecstatic to be back into running which I am so passionate about. I am continuing my sessions with Dr. Dan as part of maintenance and just wish that I had met him earlier. I highly recommend Dr. Dan!! read more

My daughter was having a baby in San Francisco and I was concerned I would not be able to visit her and help with the baby due to severe sciatic pain. My chiropractor in Colorado helped me find Dr. Shapero so I could continue my lumbar decompression treatments necessary to make the trip. Dr. Shapero was able to fit me into his hectic schedule and provide the necessary treatment during my one month stay in San Francisco. He listened to my issues and kept me mobile so I could enjoy my new grandson. I highly recommend Dr. Shapero and will continue to see him on my return trips to San Francisco. read more

Dr. Shapero is a big man which is important for me as I am 6'4' - it really is important. Moreso, he is skilled and thoughtful and has a plan - not just whacking and cracking. I have seen quite a few chiros over the years, good and bad, and he is a keeper. read more

I have been seeing Dr Shapero since February and so glad I did. He took time to listen to my concerns and addressed them with utmost care and attention. I have been suffering from my back pain and have issues with my balance. He provided and explained his assessment to me in a way I can understand and planned a treatment specific to my needs. Apart from that, he also shared some exercises that would complement his treatments. I appreciate, too, that he keeps me informed of my progress ensuring that I am involved in my own healing journey. So far, all is well. I know and feel I have improved as I can now walk steady and even run. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been a patient of Dr. Shapero's for over 20 years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Through injuries and the repeated results of an active physical life he has repeatedly put me back together. I recommend him without hesitation. read more

I'm such a fan of Dr. Shapero! I was referred to his office when my previous chiropractor retired in 2022, and I'm so very glad to have found such a stellar provider to work with. I've got chronic neck issues due to a car accident in my early 20s, and working on a computer each day seems to exacerbate them. I visit Dr. Shapero regularly, and combining visits with his recommended exercises have given me more neck mobility than I've had in years. I've also enjoyed using the decompression table after visits, and love the massage therapist that partners with his office. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Dr. Shapero, despite my tight schedule is always able to find time for me. As a pre-professional ballet dancer, lots of pains tend to occur and he has helped me so much to always be at my best, and prepare my body for performances. Dr. Shapero also doesn't only do corrections in appointments, but also gives advice and gives exercises to strengthen my body, and prevent injuries from happening in the future. I would highly recommend. read more

Dr. Shapero is a very professional chiropractor with a great desire to help each patient with their ongoing pains. In my personal experience, he spent some time getting to know me in our first meeting and figure what is best for me and then planned a set of sessions that differ from one another. After a total of 8 sessions, I definitely feel the difference. My back pain is gone and my neck feels very fluid. I also have more awareness of my body and its movements which is of high importance (at least for me). Thank you Dr. Dan! read more

Shapero Chiropractic was just what I needed...before knowing it was what I needed. My best friend had been seeing Dr. Dan for years and always raves about how amazing she felt when she would return from a visit. I've always been an active person, making sure to stretch (when I can remember) so I never thought I needed to see a chiropractor. As seasons pass and I begin to grow old and gray (at the wise age of 32), I begin to wonder if maybe the discomfort that I experience day to day isn't normal - and there's hope for a life with less aches and pains. Jump to present time.. it's been 8 months and my body doesn't stay sore or achy for nearly as long. Let's make it clear that seeing a chiropractor regularly will not solve all your problems -- or even cure all your physical discomforts -- but Dr. Dan is incredibly good at what he does and you'll discover things you would have never guessed to be the cause of certain aches. Consistency is key! I'm one of five people in my closest circle that now sees Dr. Dan. It's like the Cheers of chiropractic offices for us. On top of that, you get to interact with Suzie, who truly helps to bring the most welcoming vibe to the office And maybe you'll get lucky and come in on a day where she's brought in homemade treats... The dynamic duo are one hell of a pair and effortlessly make you feel like you're with friends once you enter the door. So, if you're looking for a professional, friendly, high-quality chiropractor, this isn't it. But if you're looking for all that and then some? ..Shapero Chiropractic is it Quick parking note: if you're driving, leave early cause traffic's a bihhhhhhhhh. But there's St. Mary's parking garage conveniently located one street over! read more

I'm delighted to share my positive experience with Dr. Dan Shapero's treatment. Recently, I achieved remarkable results. Following a neck adjustment and a soothing massage from the resident masseuse, I felt as if I had truly shed forty years off my body. I felt light and pain free, and if it wouldn't have been just too weird to do so, I would have danced all the way down Montgomery Street to the BART station. No neck aches, no back aches, no tension in my body at all. Such a glorious feeling! My journey to finding Dr. Shapero began with persistent neck discomfort, likely stemming from a fender bender a number of years ago. Having previously benefited from the care of Dr. Richard Robertshaw, I was dismayed to learn of his retirement. However, discovering that Dr. Shapero had been trained by him gave me the confidence to give Shapero Chiropractic a chance. And I'm immensely grateful that I did. Dr. Shapero's expertise has enabled me to address age-related changes in my neck and posture with remarkable ease. The "decompression" room, outfitted with a flat screen TV displaying serene nature scenes and playing contemplative music, provided a particular pleasure. Dr. Shapero is very good at what he does and the exercises that he assigns for "homework" have continued to make my body feel better than it has for a very long time. read more

I find Shapero Chiropractic very impressive. Dr. Dan is extremely knowledgeable no doubt, but what sets him apart from other places I have been to in the past is the individual attention given at each appointment. It is not one size fits all, he figures out which parts of my spine need the most help on a given day, and then the adjustment (and even the pre-adjustment) varies depending on what's needed. This is very effective and I do notice the difference every time. Also, they have a room called the Decompression Chamber which I rather enjoy. They fasten you to a machine which gently (but noticeably) stretches you out for about 15-20 minutes. There is also relaxing music and a TV screen with beaches and sea turtles which makes for a cool ambiance. Suzie, who manages the appointments and front desk, is extremely welcoming and always tries to schedule me at my preferred time. Dr. Dan and Suzie make a great team. The office is also conveniently located, in the FiDi with a nice view. It's the perfect place to get adjusted! read more

I had extreme sciatica pain that I lived with for three months. I went to a physical therapist my primary physician sent me to and nothing helped. Two visits with Dr. Shapero and the pain was pretty much gone. Six weeks in and I am pain free. The man has magic hands! read more

I've tried a lot of chiropractors in the past but Dr. Shapero was the most attentive of them all. Most of the chiropractors I've gone to split their time between adjustments and electric stimulation. For my case specifically, this wasn't helpful because I would spend 15 minutes in electric stimulation and then just a minute or two getting adjusted and be on my way. I really like that Dr. Shapero spends more time to understand your needs. This practice offers a decompression table and chiropractic massage. The massage is one of the best I've ever had. The masseuse Rie is only there on Thursday's. Extremely targeted and my body felt amazing after. The decompression table didn't do much for me but it feels pretty good. Imagine your spine being pulled straight, little by little. Sessions are $80 without insurance. read more

I'm so happy to have found Dr. Shapero for my shoulder, lower back, and neck pain. He's super nice, patient, and explains everything in detail as he's treating you so that you feel really well-informed. I was already feeling better after my first visit, and every visit since has been game-changing for my chronic pain. He also has a machine/table that you lay on and it decompresses your spine. It was super relaxing and he even provides you a VR headset with relaxing nature scenes. It was the perfect way to unwind in the middle of my work week. I'm so happy to have found my long-term chiropractor, thank you Dr. Shapero! read more

I am suffering from neuropathy. For over Twenty five years I have tried back massages, acupuncture, Meds, and chiropractic care to ease my discomfort. Of the five Chiropractic care givers I have used Dr Shapiro is the very best. He explained how he would treat me and did not make any phony promises. Dan listens to his patients and guides you with a program to improve your condition. I wish I had know about his practice sooner. I would highly recommend Dr Shapiro. You won't be sorry if you at least speak with him. But you will be sorry if you don't Anthony read more
