I second Mark's review below...I can't think of another doctor I've seen in my life that I love more than Dr. B. I began seeing her 7 years ago for a minor issue, and regularly in the years since as other issues come up. I usually start by telling her the elaborate story of where I've been and how I'm feeling wonky (she wants to know exactly how things came to be, not just how to fix them), but she's intuitive - she knows exactly what's wrong even before I finish talking. She fixes me up and I'm always feeling better within 24 hours, without fail. Her energy is infectious, and her knowledge goes way outside traditional chiropractics. She understands that our bodies are affected by what we put in them, and after years of battling eczema + failed remedies suggested by other doctors, Dr. B looked at me and said "It's probably something you're eating...gluten, dairy or eggs." She was right! I've shared this little bit of wisdom (one of many she's passed on over the years) with friends of mine who have also found healing through my relationship with her. She's even taught me specific stretches and yoga poses to prevent recurrent issues. I live and work in Oakland now, and I still make the trek across the bridge just to see her. I can't say enough - I will cry when she retires. read more

THANK YOU Dr. Buettner for saving me from back pain and giving me the tools to work on fixing my posture in between visits! I highly recommend! read more

I am a fairly new patient, so have only been to her maybe 4 times, but really like Dr. Buettner. She is very knowledgeable and very friendly. I went to her in a panic yesterday because I was experiencing vertigo and my primary doctor was out for the week. I was in tears by the time I got to her office and she was very comforting and knew what the issue most likely was. She did an adjustment to help with the headache and tried a maneuver for the vertigo. However, she was very upfront that the maneuver may not work. I am not sure if it was coincidence or just timing, but I had no issues last night or this morning with vertigo. Her front desk staff person is also very friendly and they offer packages, so that you can save money on visits. read more

I have been going to Dr. Buettner for 15 years, and I really can't say enough good things about her and the wonderful people in her office. Just Love her, and she has taken wonderful care of me through the years. read more

My life is better with Dr. Buettner in it. I was diagnosed with a bulging disk and was put on heavy medication and physcal therapy that put me in a fog while still in pain. I decided to try something different and found Dr. Buettner who got me almost pain free and off my medication in less than 3 weeks. It's a miracle! Dr. Buettner's positive attitude and energy is always so inspiring. read more

I like Dr. Buettner so much that I recommend her to any friends or colleagues who ever mention a bad back. I'm so thankful to her that she's helping me control my whacked out back. read more

I started seeing Dr. B after I had a baby, and my body was so out of whack. She gave me great advice, and even came to my office to give me an ergonomic checkup - without charging me. I love her enthusiasm, and she is such a positive person. She accepts my insurance so I just need to pay a $20 co-pay for my visits, and she also arranged for a massage for a ridiculously inexpensive price. Many of my co- workers see Dr B as well and she is a very talented chiropractor. read more

Dr.B is one of the best chiros I've ever been to. She has done more for my back issues in 5 visits than other chiros have been able to do in years.She introduced me to some easy to do posture exercises that are slowly improving my posture as well. I also love that she is so knowledgeable about nutrition and health. She is like the best of a doctor, nutritionist, and chiropractor rolled into one upbeat and warm person. Highly recommended. read more

I absolutely adore, Dr. Buettner! She's extremely warm and inviting, not mention an amazing Doctor! Every encounter I've had with Dr. B, has been pleasant and enjoyable...Adjectives, I don't usually associate with my Doctor visits, haha. I also found Dr. Buettner to be extremely, knowledgeable and personable, which makes bonding with and trusting her effortless. In my opinion, having a good bond and trusting you medical providers, is extremely important, and play a huge role in your treatment and recovery. I could go on for days about the greatness that is, Dr. B. and Union Square Chiropractic. I highly recommend Dr. Buettner to anyone in the Bay area, looking for an accommodating, and thorough Chiropractor! read more

Unfortunately, Dr. Buettner's services were great, but her staff and the billing people are rude and incompetent. I just got off the phone with one of the women who does the billing and she was obstinate and condescending in her tone while discussing a mistake THEY made in charging me copays. After several visits (around 15), I ended up with a giant bill asking me to pay the difference in amount and after I finally got everything paid to zero, they are trying to come back for more money, telling me that I am responsible for this made up amount for god knows what services and are demanding payment. Go here if you want to feel better, but certainly don't if you can't afford to be ripped off, as they will take you for all you've got. read more

I have seen Dr Buettner both for wellness nutrition and for chiropractic treatments for my digestion and my recent car accident. I have been her patient for over 3 years. Dr B is an incredibly compassionate and caring individual. She really treats the whole person -not just your back- and goes above and beyond to care for her patients. She peforms gentle yet highly accurate adjustments for her chiro manipulations that I really like (unlike other chiros who use too much force with their adjustments and you feel like you got kinda beat up afterwards). Dr B has some amazing specialized wellness training and technological tools to find the source of why you are not feeling well - I suffered from a mysterious digestion condition that all my medical doctors thought was just irritable bowel syndrome but Dr B was the first one who really understood my condition and took me very seriously and helped me through both chiro and nutrition treatment to get a lot better. I have sent my whole family to her. she was able to treat my husband who could barely walk from a random back strain as well as his recent car accident. She also treated my special needs elementary age son who hates doctors - by the way my son loved seeing her so much he would ask me when the next visit was ! Their staff is also pretty awesome - Catherine the office manager is always so on the ball and very friendly. the therapeutic massage person Clay is also pretty Amazing. thank you Dr Buettner for being our family chiropractor and for being a beacon of hope when everyone else thought it was "all in my head". read more

Dr. Buettner is an extremely skilled and experienced professional. She is alwyas attentive to her pateint's condition and unique needs. She is polite and generous with her time. I would highly recommed her to anyone who needs a great chiropractor. Andrei read more

OK...I am certainly a hard sell for any sort of cracking and popping. I literally cringe when I hear or see someone crack their knuckles!!! So why get chiro? right?!! Well I was having some unfortunate drama with my back, and my acupuncturist recommend Jackie. With major hesitation I booked an appointment. I have now seen Jackie many times, and she has worked me out in a fabulous way. I still do not like people cracking their knuckles, but Jackie took all my feelings into consideration and walks me through each visit to keep me calm. She truly is the best. A kind and spectacular woman. I would recommend her to any chiro-phobe!!! read more

Dr. Jacalyn is amazing! She helped me get through a pain that no other doctor could. I started having back pains at the beginning of the year and every other doctor thought it was just muscular pain and gave me over the counter medicines which didn't help me at all and I wasted my money on consultations. Dr. Jacalyn investigated my pain further on my very first visit. Gave me x-rays requests and did personal exams in her office. She discovered that I have one leg smaller than the other and that the bones on my spinal column was touching a nerve that they shouldn't, causing the pain. At first, she treated me twice a week and after only one month I was already feeling so much better. Today, after 3 months going there, I don't have any more pain or discomfort. I'm still re-scheduling because she makes me feel so much better every session. I'm glad I tried chiropractic and especially with Dr. Jacalyn which was always kind and so helpful. read more

The lovely and talented Jackie Buettner has changed my neck from a cracking, popping, painful mess, into a pain and worry free state of happiness. JBue knows her stuff, and is a fun, bubbly gal that has a great bedside manner. If you've got problems, she's got the cure. 5 visits and my neck is like new. read more

Dr. Buettner is a FANTASTIC chiropractor and a life saver! I have been playing soccer all my life (50+ years) and have been struggling with old injuries for some time now. I should have stopped playing soccer years ago but thanks to Dr. Buettner I am still playing the game I love. I have been a patient of Dr. Buettner for 18 years now and feel blessed to have her in my life! I cannot count the number of times I have limped into her office with my neck jammed, my hip out of place or my back in searing pain. Every single time I left her office there was total relief. After a few more sessions I was as good as new and ready to go back out to the soccer field for more fun( and punishment)! I cannot say enough about Dr. Buettner's, kindness, professionalism, knowledge, and amazing gift to take a person out of pain. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Buettner, and thank her for helping me to remain an athlete for all these years. read more

OK, here's the deal on Dr. Buettner or any other Chiropractor: If you are good shape & are only experiencing minor discomfort, you should use Yoga, Pilates or some other sort of self-body work to strengthen, stretch & adjust your body's architecture. I have seen two chiropractors now & I'd say that they made my back feel worse than when I started. I'd also like to clearly state that Chiropractors are mainly interested in your money. Dr. Buettner strait-up lied about my out-pocket-expenses for the treatment. Instead of being honest with me, she stated that my payments would be less than half of what I now owe. I am not very satisfied, but if you have significant pain, I think a chiropractor can help. Just don't expect miracles & don't expect it to be cheap. The Chiropractors that I've dealt with, have been all about the money.....& then the treatment. read more

So happy to have found an amazing chiropractor in the city! Was having pain from over exercising and feel so much better after just one appointment. Can't wait to come back and continue my care :) Thanks Dr! read more

Great service by Dr Jacalyn Buettner. She is very easy to talk to and understands your pain. Gave me instant relief and so happy someone referred me to her. She is very caring and gives great suggestions when needed. gets you in immediatedly and always goes that "extra mile" for your care. Great staff and happy I found her. read more

Would put 0 stars if that was an option. Worst Chiro ever! The office manager is awful and rude. The treatment was terrible - I came out feeling worse and it exacerbated my pain and symptoms. it seemed like she didn't know what she was doing and was very careless and I was in so much pain after. She was very rough. read more

I've been fighting back, neck and shoulder issues for years. And with Dr Buettner's help I'm healthier then I've been in awhile. She's been incredibly knowledgeable, professional and most importantly - careful. She never goes through a cracking routine - each visit she only adjusts what's needed. I've gone to other chiros and come out worse. Not so here. Highly recommended to anyone that's looking for a good Doc. The office staff is excellent as well and they're great with walkins, when you need attention quick read more

I've been seeing Dr. Buettner for 6 years and recommend her to everyone I know who is having back or neck issues. She's fun and professional and I really enjoy visiting her! She's knowledgeable, thorough and pays attention to what's going on with you. read more

Dr. Buettner has been great! My husband and I both took advantage of the Livingsocial deal, but felt eager to extend to a 21 day cleanse (no pressure from her). As for those that mention her "selling pressure" she actually modified our supplements so we could combine, extend and get out the door for LESS money. The fact that she saw us together was another big PLUS and many docs won't do that. We are half way through the detox/cleanse and my husband is feeling AWESOME! My body had other issues with breaking down, and Dr. Buettner has called me a couple times now to check-in, as well as Express shipped an alternative supplement because I could not get to her that day!?! Her staff was leaving for the day when we arrived at our appointment, and although "scattered" as it may have seemed, she got the job done. We have been more than happy, so I offer our experience to combat some of the negatives. Like in everything, MY attitude toward and with people directly influences THEIR attitude toward and with me.......just sayin'! read more

Dr. Jacalyn Buettner is AWESOME. She is very knowledgeable and very friendly. I was having headache, shoulder and back pain after the car accident, I feel so much better after just few appointments . Thank you doctor !! read more

I saw Dr. Buettner for the first time today. She was so knowledgeable and very kind. She explained exactly what's wrong with my spine. She took me right ON TIME for my appointment and never left me hanging and waiting like some doctors do. She totally fixed my back and shoulders! I feel 10x better!!! She gives you a plan and exercises to do at home to make sure you get fixed and stay fixed!!! I would 100% recommend her. All of my coworkers see her and now I know why. read more

Dr. Buettner is a healer! I had digestion, back and fatigue problems and after seeing the doctor and doing the 21-day cleanse I can with full confidence say I'm doing so much better! Highly recommend Unionsquare Chiropractic. read more

I love Dr. Buettner. She is my ambassador to good health. Her dedication and passion for total wellness is commendable. After spending 6 weeks in pain, she identified the root cause and worked to resolve the issue. I've also been seeing her for nutrition advise. She came up with a tailored plan and I feel amazing. I sleep better, have more energy, and feel very relaxed. Sonal & Amanda are wonderful :-) read more

Dr. Jackie and her staff are the BEST!!! I am so happy I chose this office to help me with my back/neck pain. And I chose it because of the great reviews Dr. Beuttner has on Yelp! From my first visit I had a great experience. Dr. Beuttner always listens to what I have to say and doesn't rush through the appointments. Six months ago I was in pain all the time from neck and lower back injuries. Today I am 99% pain free in my neck and have only occassional lower back pain due to severe scoliosis (that I didn't even know I had!). I am going to be moving soon and sincerely regret I will not be able to have Dr. Buettner to visit for the occassional adjustment! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Buettner since 2006 & what a wonderful difference! she makes each visit quick & easy and always leaves me feeling completely rejuvenated. I grew up on chiropractic care so have felt very biased about seeking the right quality chiropractor which I am so grateful to have started seeing her! She was recommended by a coworker and learned that her office is conveniently located at 450 Sutter in the same building as my dentist. Since I work on Union Square it just doesn't get any better! Her office staff have always been extremely courteous and even her new team members carry on the same genuine service. They really appreciate the timing of appointments which is so refreshing! also love how they sometimes suggest slight timing changes if that helps to coordinate a faster appointment. I would definitely recommend Dr. Buettner to anyone looking to get into a good routine of chiropractic care. read more

I have been seeing Dr. B for years and it's come to a point that whenever I have any back, neck, shoulder pain - all I have to do is pick up the phone and start dialing her number and the pain ceases. I have never been told by her extraordinary staff that she could not see me! I would highly recommend anyone with any back pain or chiro-skepticism to see her for a consultation. You'll be back - I can almost guarantee it! read more

I was skeptical about using chiropractic treatment after an auto accident about 10 years ago but after my wife started using Dr. Buettner and told me how wonderful she was I was ready to try it and I can't believe I didn't try it sooner! I have been suffering from pain for years and not knowing (and afraid) of what might be the problem I was hesitant to have anyone touch my back. After I had some x-rays done Dr. B could see what was going on and could relate to my situation. I can honestly say after receiving advice and treatment from Dr. B I am pain free! Dr. Buttner and her staff are sweet, caring and very knowledgeable. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

I have been going to Union Square Chiropractic - Dr Jacalyn Buettner for five years and find her professional, friendly,caring and extremely helpful in working on my chiropractic problems - Emily, who does my ultra sound treatments is excellent and always works 110% to take care of my back problems- If you are having chiropractic problems give Union Square Chiropractic a chance to work on the problems read more

I've been seeing Dr. Buettner for over five years now and she's been a great resource for chiropractic adjustments and keeping my back and neck in good shape. She's made some good nutritional supplement recommendations which gave me more energy and helped me feel better. The products she sells get good reviews on Amazon. She's awesome and I always feel better after seeing her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. read more

I have been going to Dr. Buettner for years. Even after I moved to Sacramento for two years and came back, I have returned to Dr. Buettner for my chiropractic needs. Since about May 2011, I have been seeing Dr. Buettner for nutrition and my issues with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I was on medication from Kaiser for my IBS for about six years that was intended for six weeks! The effects of being on the medication was making me very sick to where nearly everything I ate gave me stomach cramps and sometimes almost into a fetal position. I even had a man on BART give up his seat because he thought I was pregnant because my stomach was so bloated. Within maybe two months of changing my diet and supplements I have been totally medication free. I would be willing to sit down and show anyone who would like to see proof of my yearly blood tests I have done at Kaiser, along with my e-mail from my Kaiser doctor saying "keep up the good work!" I was borderline diabetic along with other things that Dr. B and I have worked on through the last couple of years through my diet, increased exercise, and supplements. I feel the supplements are working so much better for me than medications that have potential side affects like blot clots and heart attacks. I think it's worth quoting in honor my health and Dr. B: "Man surprised me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived." ― Dalai Lama XIV Words to live by! Thank you Dr. Buettner! read more
