They YELP listing is a bit all over the place. There is a place at this address by this name and it is in the Byrne Building in Phoenixville. However, there is some historical cross-over that's getting mixed up. The gentleman in the photo with the salt and pepper hair sold the business to another man (who is bald and much younger). He has been the owner for several years now. A friend of mine referred me to this practice and I learned that he doesn't believe in marketing beyond word-of-mouth so he hasn't taken steps to correct any of this. Which is fine, not everyone has time or interest in online apps and marketing and rely on people like me, I suppose, to spread the word. So here I am. I've had two appointments now and have found relief from an issue that's been plaguing me for almost 2 years. I've been in and out of chiropractic for 25 years at this point and this guy is the real deal. He's conservative in his treatment. His initial intake consultation took almost an hour (but I have a complicated spine history) and there were no pressure tactics. No scare tactics. Just a lot of consultative 'here's what I can do, what are your goals?' kind of conversation. He has a hydraulic table which is something I need for low back distraction. He has an ultrasound machine. He has an activator (for pin point adjustments - the 'clicker' device some chiropractors use). And he has several modalities for working on your muscles (hands-on and various massage and percussive devices as well as cupping). And he takes COVID seriously and masks appropriately. He's the real deal and serious about helping you heal. Not make a quick a buck are making you pay for some plan in advance. read more

Like the others, I was skeptical about the pricing for Dr. Stern. I had an upper back problem due to carrying a backpack and a friend's massage therapist recommended him and me. Though I came in with a specific problem, Dr. Stern was attentive and very comprehensive with his examination. He doesn't try to sell you anything and I never feel pressured to sign a package deal or anything like that. His explanations towards your physiology reminiscent of my experience with a physical therapist. This is probably a reflection of his 20+ years of experience. The ultrasound treatment is great. I am always very happy coming out of the experience, the hour or thirty minute session is super productive and he never wastes any time! You definitely get your moneys worth. read more

I was sent to Dr. Stern years ago - after having tried everything and I mean everything I got relief after my first visit with him . Then I was in a car accident and continued to go to him and he was responsible for my 100% recovery. I did not return again until after he had sold the business to another chiropractor ,obviously to my surprise. However , I figured I might as well just give him a try if Dr. Stern trusted him enough then maybe he was worth giving a chance. I was met with the same results as my first visit with Dr. Stern, I immediately felt relief and I'm continuing to go back as needed. His bedside manner is amazing. He's very thorough. He doesn't try to pull one over on you or scare you into unnecessary visits or charge astronomical fees or try to sell packages . He's worth way more than he charges. True talent , an asset to his profession. Someone who truly cares about his patient's with a goal of optimal health and pain-free living. I give the highest recommendation !! read more

I first came across Dr. Sterns services on an ad at Lombardi's ski shop and was a little weary because of the pricing. I have seen chiropractors charge three times the amount that he charges which concerned me, but I have received the best care from Dr. Stern then any large practice could offer. Dr. Stern truly provides the care that he indicates on his flyer's. A realigning of the body as a whole (Muscularly and Skeletally) caused by sport-active activities at a low affordable cost. I have been a patient of his for about a year now and my structural health is at a 9 out of 10. Dr. Sterns approach with me has helped my structural posture with a chiropractor approach and with an adjustment to my workout routine. This two-fisted approach has really strengthened my structural health more then I can imagine. Week after week I dis-align myself due to long extensive computer use and sport activities, but Dr. Stern always puts me back in alignment as needed. I visit him on a bi-weekly basis and he is always flexible never pressuring you on a static date and time treatment. Even if you have to reschedule a day or two before, he is always flexible and understanding to his patience schedules. In times of emergencies, he always tries to fit you in that day or asap the next morning with a lot of flexibility. Dr. Stern really gives his patients a personal touch that gets lost with larger practices. If your new to this form of treatment or know the type of treatment you want, Dr. Stern's firm should be in your consideration of firms in San Francisco. I give him 5 stars and hope others receive the same experience as I have. read more

I'm an Iraq/Afghanistan War Veteran and after years of grounding and pounding in the Army I started having lower back issues and random back spasms.My wife went to see him after being referred by her boss and she had nothing but great things to say. I thought, well, if she was impressed I have to go. So she booked me an appointment and woooooo, I haven't had a back spasm or lower back pain since. I feel like a new man/Soldier. Dr. Stern is truly amazing and a very knowledgeable and all around good man. I'm so sorry but happy for him that he's retired or I would recommend anyone to him. He has trained a replacement and I am sure whoever takes over has learned the ways of The Force know as Dr. Stern. read more

If you're looking for a full service chiropractor, Dr. Stern is it. Not only does he give you appropriate adjustments as one would expect from a Chiro, he also does massage and ultrasound as necessary, some light stretching, and really tunes into your overall bodily health. When I first started seeing him 3 years ago, it was mainly for back and shoulder issues related to sitting at a desk... yes, I live in corporate America. Since then, he has helped me through TMJ issues, a strained wrist, and the WORST hamstring pull EVER, in addition to his regular "maintenance" checks. I trust him more than my general doctor and have sent multiple friends to him for treatments. What could possibly make this situation better? I DO have an answer... $20 per appointment. Yes, for world class service from a doctor with over 20 years of experience, one can get adjusted, massaged and physically stabilized for $20!! He doesn't take insurance to keep his costs low and he is very flexible in seeing you. Great at returning calls, scheduling you sooner if an injury comes up and even does follow up calls to see how you're feeling after the appointment. If I could give Dr. Stern more stars, I would. He truly is a the best chiropractor I have ever been to. read more

I was referred to Stellar by my personal trainer so I trusted the recommendation despite never having been to a chiro before and hearing mixed things about them. I arrived and got some good info on vitamins (helpfully split into "all recommended" and "most important") and had my body/joints analysed. Anyways, we got to actually adjusting my joints and I have to say it was weird but awesome. It felt like something might snap or break, but after he was done, the muscles around the joint would always be less tense and I'd have greater strength and range of motion. It was pretty awesome. My neck felt like an owl, I could swivel more than 100 degrees in both directions, something sometimes hard for me. Any remaining worries about this were negated by the great price: $40 for first visit and $20 for followups. He said every 2 weeks to start and then monthly and I worried about signing up for new monthly expense, but the truth is my body improves with each visit and $20 is not much per month to ward off body issues associated with long-term tension and joint pain. So I highly recommend Stellar to my friends and now to you, Yelp community. read more

Bottom line is that Dr. Stern is excellent and I would highly recommend him. It's not just about your back but he can fix most any pain issues. read more

I've actually been seeing Dr. Stern since late 2007-early 2008, which says a lot about my opinion of Dr. Stern:-) Every one I have referred to him has also loved him, and they've subsequently referred people they know to him. He is friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and incredibly capable. All the adjustments are appropriate, he's professional, and any question you have, he will patiently explain the answer. He's also very enthusiastic and upbeat. Dr. Stern has always returns my appointment requests promptly if I've had to leave a voice message. He's also the only Chiro I've been to that I fully trust. read more

*CLOSED* I still believe Dr. Stern of Stellar Chiropractic was the best, I mean THE BEST chiropractors I've ever met. His knowledge, experience, technique, rate and most importantly the friendly personality is so hard to find elsewhere. Unfortunately, Dr. Stern has decided to move to east coast (*I think he mentioned he's moving in early September so I'm sure he's already relocated): to be close to his mother and to comfort his wife in more family friendly environment. He has referred me to another chiropractor place before he moved...but seriously...it will be SUPER HARD to find as good chiropractor as Dr. Stern is... *sigh* read more

Dr Stern is outstanding. I am relatively fit and healthy but have without a doubt been in much better health since I started visiting Dr Stern. I spend my days at an office and am occassionally plagued with minor workplace related injuries (or more appropriately nusances) such as neck strain or tension. These symptoms were futher aggravated and sometimes quite acutely after exercising, lifting weights or doing yoga which forced me to be feeling not all the great about 15% of the time. I now pain free, sleeping better and living healthier. Thanks Dr. Stern. read more

Life saver!! I've gone through 3 chiropractors before discovering Dr. Stern. And yes, I wish I had found him right from the beginning of my back/neck problems...! I am amazed to finally get treated from "head to toes".. which is balancing my body to truly deeply heal. Also I am always explained what is going with me, which has taken my fear of not getting well completely away! What a relief.. Also financially STELLAR is a heaven sent, since I did spent all my insurance and savings on the other chiropractors, although not getting well... I am so super thankful!!~* read more

Dr. Stern is completely amazing. I currently am a NPC women's physique athlete and started having issues when it came to flexing. I didn't know what I was going to do because I had a competition coming up. Someone suggested I go to a chiropractor aka Dr. Stern, who has back ground in athletes to see if it could help. With in two weeks of seeing him flexing stated to get easier and easier and my training became less and less painful in my joints. I am happy to report I won my competiton and will continue to go see him on a regular basis because I will be competing for my pro card!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Stern for the past two years and must say that his services can be addicting (well only if you like being in alignment, feeling better, looking better, sleeping better, etc)! I have referred many of my friends to Dr. Stern (even some of the "non-believer's" in Chiropractic treatment...), and he has successfully made believer's out of every single one of them! My only real fear is that Dr. Stern's practice will get so big that he won't be able to fit my once a month adjustment into his schedule!! read more

SO so so very sorry to see Dr. Stern leave the Bay Area. I'm sure those who meet him in his new home will be as lucky as me. He is really missed. He is efficient, friendly and thorough. Viva Dr. Stern! R E C O M M E N D E D! read more

Dr. Stern is a kind, caring chiro who knows a great deal about kinesiology. He understands why your body is hurting and does everything he can to make you feel better, without you ever feeling awkward, uncomfortable, or in more pain. He is gentle and has the magic healing touch. I have gone into his office in extraordinary pain and walk out nearly cured. I used to take Aleve everyday for my constant neck and back pain, and because of Dr. Stern, I rarely ever take any now. He goes out of his way to make himself available for your schedule and is flexible when you have to make changes to your appointment times. His rates are incredibly affordable, especially considering it is the best chiropractic treatment I have ever received! I could only wish that all doctors were as caring, skilled, available, and affordable. read more

Dr. Stern should write a book. He is by far the best chiropractor I've ever had which has been many.

Dr. Stern is the best. Before seeing him I would suffer from semi annual back spasms that would leave me debilitated for days. Since seeing him monthly I have had zero recurrences. He's a really good guy, knowledgeable to his craft and concerned for your well being. The procedure is a pleasure and the price can't be beat. Like a giant leap in evolution, Dr. Bernard Stern has me walking upright! read more

Dr Stern is great! I can't believe there aren't any reviews about him yet. I went to him for the first time yesterday and had a great experience. I knew it would be when I was in the lobby before my appointment, and the client before me came out of his office raving about him. He made me feel completely comfortable considering it was the first time I had ever been to a chiropractor. I had come in with some chronic back pain and he was able to give me a thorough response to what was going on with my back and why, then offered solutions to eventually stop my back from hurting. He's a nice, bubbly, compassionate guy who I would definitely recommend to others. Plus, the rates are extremely affordable for someone like me who has to watch how she spends. And it doesn't hurt that his office is two blocks downhill from my place either. read more

I was referred to Dr. Stern by my masseuse. I hadn't been to a chiropractor in over 10 years, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to meet Dr. Stern. The first visit was an hour long and consisted of a lot of education about my body, my posture, my current physical state, seeing which muscles and bones were involved in my pain/problems, etc. When I left, I felt completely confident that I was receiving the proper chiropractic care and education from Dr. Stern. He has more than 20 years of experience, and he truly cares about his patients receiving the care they need and allowing the body to heal. He's not in it to get rich! I've had my second visit (only 30 mins. long) and will go for another soon. Dr. Stern has helped to release my chronic neck, shoulder, and scapula pain that I've carried around for years. I was to the point of getting a tension headache every single day, and many times I would wake up with a headache. This went on for years. Now that I've found Dr. Stern, I haven't had a headache in over two weeks! That's a miracle. I've referred a number of people to Dr. Stern, and if you're in the market for a great chiropractor you can't go wrong with Stellar Chiropractic! read more

I cannot begin to describe Dr. Stern's abilities to get me out of pain! I am a fitness professional and own a Pilates studio in town. When Pilates can't get me out of pain from overtraining, I go see Dr. Stern. His approach is so unique. His knowledge is priceless. He understands athletes and "fitness freaks" who aren't willing to stop working out. He encourages you to continue working out, but gives you a "tune up" to repair joints and muscles. I trust him and I respect him. I know he cares about me and about helping people get out of pain. So glad I met him and I refer him to all of my Pilates clients. read more

I've been to a few chiropractors in my day, but Dr Stern is by far the best. I started having back pain after I started working out again and was referred to a chiropractor from a friend. After the second visit and $150 later, this guy tells me he needs to see me for ideally - 18 sessions!! What? Yes, 18 and if I get the package, it will only cost me $1600. It was like getting hit by a train. Here I am on the road to wellness and now I need 4 months of chiropractic care and it's costing me an arm and a leg. So insult to injury, after those 2 visits, I am in more pain than I was when I first got there. So I can barely drive, bend over, or even wash dishes because my back is killling me. Thank god I found Stern on Yelp. Called this morning and was in there by mid afternoon. This guy did more in 1 hour than I could ever imagine. He is knowledgeable, thorough and understands that it's not only the rich that get hurt and need mending. He was able to isolate my pain with his fingers, quick and precise adjustments. I literally saw results within minutes while my other guy got me in, got me out with a couple cracks and reverse results. Stern also uses an ultrasound that hit home - within minutes, I was new. To top it all off - I paid $40 for 45 minutes and he tells me $20 for all future visits! At the end of the session I asked him if I could come back in the next two days and he says - " give it a week and let your body recover". Unbelievable, that there are guys and gals out there giving sub par adjustments for 3x the amount while Stern works his magic in a matter of minutes for a great rate. I mean - did my other chiropractor hurt me intentionally so that he could rope me in for an 18 pack? Why else would I feel worse after his 'treatment'? I would hate to believe it but after Stern's visit - I don't know. Please go see Dr Stern. The office is small but the results are huge. I am sold and I trulty have a chiropractor for life - amen! Again, this was my first visit folks - I can't imagine just how good I'll feel in a month. read more

Dr. Stern IS OPEN IN PHOENIXVILLE PA! As everyone says he truly is the best Chiropractor. I feel completely transformed after seeing him - it's as if my body was how it was meant to be. I would unreservedly refer him to anyone for any issue. He had a thriving practice in San Francisco that has in fact closed because he relocated to Phoenixville Pennsylvania. I looked for chiropractors in Los Angeles and San Francisco and have not found anyone as talented and effective as him. read more

so...chiropractics used to scare the shit out of me. that was until i came to dr. stern. he's a silly dude, loves to chat and does GREAT work. nothing abrupt or scary, always on time and super flexible. i look forward to getting straightened out every month! read more

As a professional massage therapist I put a lot of strain on my body. Regular visits with Dr. Stern helps to keep me in working shape. I highly recommend him. A half hour visit is only $20 and he does soft tissue work in addition to the chiropractic adjustment. I have been seeing him for years and truly can't speak highly enough. read more

i only wish I could give Dr. Stern 10 stars. I've been to lots of chiropractors but have never found anyone as skilled as Dr. Stern, or as inexpensive. He truly cares about his patients and his work is better than excellent. Could not recommend him more highly! read more

In my case, getting treatment from Dr. Stern was the last piece of the puzzle I needed for my lower back and hip pain to almost go away. I'd been in pain for ~6 months, but after just one visit, in combination with core workouts and massages, my pain is almost gone. As an added bonus, Dr. Stern charges on a scale...$X amount if you have a job and $X amount, if you don't. I am very happy to have a job and glad to pay the full amount as you can't really put a dollar sign on health. I hope everyone that goes to see him, gets positive results, as I have, and if they have a job and/or can afford to pay the full amount, do it. Not only is it the right thing to do but you are also helping the less fortunate, while getting a 5 star treatment. Thank you Dr. Stern!! read more

So far I have had two appointments and both times it has been fantastic! Dr Stern is very knowledgeable, personable, willing to explain what he is doing and why the issue may have occurred. He has a small office of I believe just himself but seems to treat his patients with genuine and individual care. Also his costs per visit are extremely reasonable considering the all he does. I will definitely continue to see him if I can and recommend him to anyone with issues. read more
