So happy I found this practice. Highly recommend! They are so kind and helpful. Really addressed my issues and I feel supported in my care.

I've been seeing Dr. Mercedes for over four years and cannot recommend her highly enough. Her expertise in upper cervical care has made a huge difference in my life. After years of tight neck/jaw, I am experiencing significant improvements in my neck pain and better nervous system regulation overall. Dr. Mercedes is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about her patients' wellbeing. She takes the time to explain the treatment process and ensures that I understand how upper cervical adjustments are helping my body function better. Gloria, the office manager, is also incredibly efficient, professional and so welcoming. read more

Upper Cervical Chiropractic is a LIFE SAVER!!! Where do I even begin?! Long story short... My migraines were so bad I was getting 3-5 A WEEK! Then, I got introduced to UCC and after continuing with them for more than a year, I can definitely say I've gotten one or two migraines A MONTH. Definitely a HUGE difference! Gloria at the front desk always greets everyone with a smile & remembers everyone's name! Definitely a welcoming environment! Dr. Mercedes is one of the most kind people I've ever met! She is just lovely and definitely knows what she's doing. Did I mention, there is a room with reclining chairs, dimmed lights and relaxing spa music that will give you those 15 minutes during the day you're just eager to have for yourself to relax? Highly recommend Upper Cervical Chiropractic! read more

Upper Cervical Chiropractic San Diego I cannot give enough praises for the excellent care I have received from Dr. Mercedes Cook. My neck has been a reck for years! After a few months of care, I was much improved and back to doing the things I love. I had a little setback a few weeks ago, should have called and gone in when the pain was excruciating, but waited for my appointment instead. Knowing I was going out of town the next day, I thought an adjustment will "get me through my vacation" but didnt expect much more. Boy was I wrong! Dr. Mercedes adjusted me, assured me that it is a process and I can and will get better. I left the office praying she was right and just wanted relief. By morning, I didnt even think about my neck when I got out of bed. No pain, No dizziness! I drove 5hrs to AZ on Thursday and 5 hrs back on Sunday. I went swimming , site seeing, carried luggage, the entire 4th of July weekend. I am so very grateful to have found this practice, I highly recommend anyone struggling with cervical neck issues to see Dr. Mercedes and feel your very best again. Shout out to Gloria the office Angel! It takes a team! Lisa van Ginder read more

Dr Mercedes is amazing! The office is so welcoming and Dr Mercedes is very knowledgeable. she takes a holistic approach and knows her patients well. read more

I started going to Upper Cervical a few months ago and it has been a wonderful experience. I see Dr. Drake, but Dr. Mercedes is amazing as well. They truly take the time to understand your medical history, assess where you are currently, and explain the process/what to expect. Treatment plans are transparent and upfront, which I appreciate as I've been through a lot of specialist care, and that is not always the case. if you experience neck and shoulder pain, or a host of other issues that can be treated by this cervical adjustment technique (TMJ, unexplained migraines, allergies, the list is endless) don't hesitate to give them a try. Shout out to Gloria, the most calm, serene, and friendly office manager around! read more

I highly recommend Upper Cervical Chiropractic. I originally went to them based on the wonderful reviews and could not be happier. The office staff are very thorough, professional and welcoming. read more

Dr.Mercedes and her team are nothing short of amazing. I came in with some pretty unique cervical spine issues and I was greeted by Gloria who is so warm and sweet. Gloria took the time to give me a tour so i felt at ease in the space. We talked about my anxiety being there and what was going on with my neck and she made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. Then I met sweet Mercedes. She has such incredible energy and TRULY wants to get to know you and your body and tailor a plan that fits your needs. She is warm and caring and doesn't just take care of your spine, she truly wants to take care of YOU . She eases my anxiety every week and keeps encouraging me to trust myself, my body and the process and I feel super safe in her care. I have a long road ahead but I have been getting better each time I see her . I'm so grateful for her knowledge and expertise and her attentiveness to what's going on for me each week. Highly recommend their services! Thank you Mercedes and Gloria! read more

Wonderful environment and friendly staff. Sarahi went above and beyond in her treatment and I would highly recommend booking with her! Thank you for the great experience! read more

I have been coming to Upper Cervical Chiropractic for a few weeks now, I had been dealing with a long list of symptoms that no one seemed to be able to help me with. My initial visit/consultation was great. Gloria and Rachel are very kind and welcoming, I was given a full tour of the facility while I waited for my consultation, I had arrived early so I had some time. Then my consultation had began with Dr. Drake and he went over all of my symptoms and did some imaging. He took his time with me and feels like he really cares. Ive had a few adjustments with him and it is great. He is a phenominal chiro and I feel better and better with every visit. Dr. Drake has been out of the office but they didnt stop my treament plan and I have been seeing Dr. Cook this week and just like everyone else here she is amazing. Very kind and takes the time to answer any questions you have. Everyone at Upper Cervical Chiropractic is great and truly cares about you and what is going on. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. This has been by far the best medical/chiro experience I have ever had and look forward to every appointment with them. read more

I had a massage with Sarahi. It had to be one of the best massages I have ever had! She listened to my concerns and focused on the areas that were bothering me. Her deep tissue techniques are amazing and she incorporates light stretches as well. I highly recommend Sarahi for a firm massage that is catered to your specific needs! I can't wait for my next massage! read more

Dr. Mercedes is a wonderful chiropractor who cares deeply about her patients being happy, healthy, and aligned. She has an uplifting and positive demeanor with a smile that lights up the room. I definitely look forward to my visits and always leave feeling better than when I came into the office. The imaging equipment used is great, because it's not utilizing X-Ray technology and it provides the necessary information for making precise adjustments to the cervical spine. Furthermore, there is no cracking or manual manipulation performed. Instead, the adjustment is very easy and comfortable which allows my body to relax and not guard during the treatment. The Zero Gravity chairs post-treatment are heavenly. I love the space provided to relax my neck in the most comfortable chair and always take advantage of this time. The front office is run by Gloria who always greets you with a smile. Gloria is extremely friendly and excellent at helping you schedule and reschedule appointments. Additionally, she is super responsive with impeccable follow through. Gloria and Dr. Mercedes make an excellent team, and I feel extremely grateful to have found Dr. Mercedes for my Upper Cervical care. read more

The team at upper cervical is magnificent. I went in with constant tension headaches and brain fog - turned out my c spine was out of alignment primarily due to an old injury. Within the first two months of care my headaches are largely gone thanks to Dr. Drake's adjustments. I feel healthier, more energy and clarity than ever before! As I continue to heal I go in for adjustments less frequently (per the treatment plan) and I look forward to each and every visit! read more

I have throughly enjoyed my experience at Upper Cervical Chiropractic! I mainly do massages now but Dr Mercedes and her team are very exceptional with their care! The massage therapist Sarahi also offers a warm environment for a fantastic massage every time!! read more

Dr. Mercedes has been so helpful throughout my healing journey over the last year. I have fibromyalgia, which has been difficult to treat over the last decade, but her chiropractic care has made a positive difference. There have been noticeable improvements and she truly cares about her patients, which isn't the case for many doctors. Gloria, the receptionist, is also very kind and organized. She remembers the names of clients and is always helpful when it comes to scheduling appointments, billing questions, and has a friendly attitude. The relaxation room clients can go to after adjustments is so peaceful, clean, and relaxing. I highly recommend Dr. Mercedes and her practice! read more

I've been seeing Dr Mercedes for the past 3 or so months. I've seen countless doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, etc over the years to help resolve my chronic neck pain, brain fog, and migraines. Nothing has offered me relief and most doctors have brushed over my pain. If this is your experience, come to Upper Cervical SD. Dr. Mercedes will sit down with you, take as much time as is needed to really listen to your experiences, and help you come up with a treatment plan to start you on your healing journey. The whole staff here are so kind and supportive! read more

Before I found this practice, I suffered from migraines daily. I would have to lock myself up due to light/sound sensitivity. I was a skeptic at first, but after a year and a half I can confidently say that the work Dr. Mercedes and Dr. Jessica (the previous owner) provided for me, has changed my life. My migraines were cut back significantly and I even noticed a difference in my allergies!! I was SHOCKED by how many benefits I was seeing, especially the daily comfort in my body. My mobility was improved. My posture!!! Before, I had a terrible hunch from my shoulders being forward and right. I look like a brand new, more confident person in general due to my posture change. The office manager, Gloria, is so welcoming!! She always has the biggest smile and makes the best conversation. The atmosphere is very inviting and relieving. I've never tried the massage therapist at this location, but I have heard WONDERFUL things. read more

Excellent care and staff at this place. I deal with fibromyalgia and adjustments help mitigate my neck pain BIG TIME!! I'm never without an adjustment because it keeps me functioning. Worth every penny I spend here. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Mercedes for about 2 years, and its made quite a difference in my health. I suffered from bad vertigo, and had been seeing a regular chiropractor, which did not relieve it. Dr. Mercedes uses a precise and pain free method of adjustment, exactly where you need it. My vertigo is gone! I continue to have wellness adjustments and will do so in the future. The office is inviting and friendly, and Gloria the office manager is so pleasant and helpful. Dr. Drake is a great doctor, and works closely with Dr. Mercedes to bring you the best care. read more

For a few years I've been waking up with a pinched neck and caused a lot of discomfort throughout the day. One day I woke up and my entire neck and upper back stiffened up and I could not move. I found Upper Cervical where Dr Jessica provided me with a free first day consultation and I discovered that my spine was not properly aligned and was causing the pain. I've been attending this chiropractor for a few weeks now and I already feel much better. I don't wake up with any more pinched necks and feel much more comfortable sleeping at night. Dr Jessica is extremely knowledgeable and also thorough in her explanations. All of the staff members are also very welcoming every time I come in and never at any point did I feel as though my money had gone to waste. Whether it's neck or back pain, I'd highly recommend Upper Cervical not only to help reduce that pain, but also to learn why it's happening and how you can strengthen your body to prevent injuries in the future. read more

This review is for Dr. Cecilia Park. For at least the last 12 years, I've had issues with my neck and back. Sometimes the symptoms would get pretty scary. I've had numbness in my hands and feet; I've had constant fatigue in my arms; I've had my feet fall asleep while running; I've even woken up in the middle of the night with absolutely no feeling in my arms or legs. I've been to numerous doctors, and they've always told me the same thing: It's a nerve issue-there's nothing seriously wrong with you. I lived with those symptoms for years. It just became a part of my life. Then I visited with Dr. Cecilia. I told her my story. She was not satisfied with my "just live with it" approach. She wanted me to see her immediately. On my first visit, Dr. Cecilia set me up for XRays. At her office, she has this AWESOME 3-D X-ray machine. I can't even explain it, you just have to go see it. When Dr. Cecilia saw the results, she was a little horrified. She saw the consequences of multiple sports/snowboarding related injuries, and told me my body had been slowly contorting to accommodate for a twisted spine. She showed me exactly where my nerves were being pinched and could correspond those nerves to the symptoms I was experiencing. She taught me more about my neck and back in 15 minutes than dozens of doctors had in my entire life. Dr. Cecilia set me up with a plan. The initial visit obviously involved an adjustment. After ONE ADJUSTMENT, I started feeling better. ONE. All that pressure on my brain stem; released. I've been seeing her for about 3 weeks, and my adjustment has held. I haven't felt this good since I was in high school. No numbness, no tingling, no waking up in the middle of the night terrified I can't feel my arm, no fatigue in my arms and legs, no problems running. I'm sleeping 8-9 hours a night uninterrupted, my digestion is better, I have more energy, I just feel better. After 12 years of thinking I was going to live with these symptoms for the rest of my life, she's fixing me. And if I can continue to get better the way I have the last few months, I will forever be in her debt. read more

My poor baby had terrible eczema And thankfully Dr Lee put her magic hands at work and adjusted my 8 month old! I cancelled my appointment with the dermatologist (who'd most likely would have prescribed topical steroids) and waited and it only took a few days to see a major difference . It's been over a week and it has pretty much healed and I baby is happier than ever!! Thank you Dr Lee for not only helping me out but also my baby!! read more

See all

Dr. Jessica is amazing.. She is a part of BNI, professional referral organization that requires punctuality, integrity and honesty to be a part of, that's how we've met. My wife getting treatments from Doctor at this time and Im starting as well after overworking my back on our new driveway. Very knowledgeable and I highly recommend. read more

Dr. Mercedes provides incredible care for people with chronic health conditions including vertigo, migraines, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and many other conditions. People come from all over to get help. It's really an awesome clinic! read more

My name is Manny. I have been suffering from years of low back pain due to my occupation. I also suffered a whiplash injury from a car accident a few years ago where my vehicle was T-boned. After the accident, I developed neck pain and my ribs on the left side would hurt. Medical doctors could not find what was wrong and their X-rays came back negative. I sought a chiropractor for my pain and had been going to him for 2 years, but I never got any lasting results, not even with massage therapy. My discomfort was causing me a lot of stress and frustration. It would interfere with my work as I have to drive long distances on a weekly basis and lift heavy objects. My knees would start hurting after long periods of standing and in the last two years I started to notice that I was developing a weak grip in my right hand. When I met Dr. Jessica, she asked about my digestion and I told her that I have had acid reflux for my whole life and I would have to take medication to relieve my symptoms. Often, I would be up in the middle of the night feeling the reflux, which prevented me from getting any rest. I did not realize at the time that chiropractic had anything to do with my digestion. After a few gentle adjustments, I have noticed significant changes in how my body functions. My low back no longer bothers me, even when I drive long distance. My body feels better and more balanced, and the most surprising thing is that my acid reflux has cleared up! I no longer have to take medication to manage the reflux and I can sleep through the night. Even my family members have noticed that I no longer have to take pills. I have more energy during the day, my thoughts are much clearer (no more brain fog), and my body feels much more balanced. I feel great! read more

Upon entering I felt very welcome by everyone. I've been struggling with back/neck pain and migraines for a couple of years now and after my consultation with Dr. Jessica, I feel confident that I'll be able to be pain free in no time. After just a couple of adjustments, I already feel a big difference. The office is very clean and organized and I never felt uncomfortable even if the office was busy. I would recommend this place to everyone because they not only care to take away your pain but they empower you not to feel that this is something you're going to be stuck with but that you'll be able to heal and live a healthy life! read more

Dr. Mercedes is amazing! I am so thankful that I started seeing her for my neck and back issues. I have had chronic neck and back pain for a long time. Dr. Mercedes put me on a regimented adjustment schedule to get optimal results and the difference was absolutely amazing. I am no longer waking up in pain and can move more freely and am currently pain free! Do yourself a favor and go see her for all your chiropractic needs. read more

If I could leave 10 stars here I would! We were referred here from Sandra who works here and we could not be more happy to have come here. Sandra and Alejandra are super nice and so helpful. I have had back issues for maybe 10 years now and came in today to see AMAZING Dr. Jessica. My lower back was having pains while sleeping, while bending over picking up things and at the most random times. We came in 2 weeks ago and Dr. Jessica did her 3D xrays and scheduled me to come in 2 weeks after to examine my results. As a business owner, I work with a lot of businesses and I was extremely impressed with how thorough they were here and explaining my situation in great detail and how upfront she was on everything. I left here today, so happy with my results and am SO grateful to have found Dr. Jessica and her team. I plan on being a term customer and doing whatever she recommends to ensure I don't do something I shouldn't. Before going to a chiropractor and getting the "SNAP CRACKLE POP" for some kind of quick fix, come here and get the 3D xrays. You will be happy you did! I am a very active adult, workout 5-6 times a week and live a healthy lifestyle and Dr. Jessica is a GEM and I am so thankful to have found you guys. Thanks!!!!! Derek & Aide. read more

I've been coming here for 3 years now and can't recommend Dr. Mercedes enough! I started off with severe neck and back pain and I'm completely able to manage it. read more

I am so pleased that I was introduced to Upper Cervical Chiropractic. Dr. Cook and Gloria have been incredibly welcoming and I feel like my health is truly a priority for them. They are unlike other chiropractors that I have visited where I often leave feeling worse than when I came in. The experience of a single adjustment is well thought out from beginning, where they assess me coming in each time, to end, with a semi-private room to let the adjustment set. I rave about my experience here whenever neck and back health comes up in a conversation. read more

Dr. Jessica has helped me tremendously with moving beyond depression, despair, and debilitating fibromyalgia. My body is healing quickly and I'm returning to good and vigorous health thanks to her upper cervical care. Gloria at the front desk is sincere, kind and warm. I'm so thankful that a relative told me about upper cervical chiropractic care, I decided to give it a try, and I have found such a wonderful practitioner in Dr. Jessica. read more

When I visited UCCSD , I was desperate. I made an appointment because I been battling vertigo. A friend told me I should find an Upper Cervical Chiropractor. the closest one to my house was this place. When I saw Dr.Cook I told her what my issue was and she said she can help. First appointment she basically took an X-ray of my skull/face which cost $540.00 and took down my personal/ basic information. Little did I know she didn't take any type of insurance. I told her my insurance would pay me back. Because I have PPO. So no treatment /adjustment was done. The second visit she quoted me the price of the treatment which was 8 visits of 10 minutes each for $1700.00 . After she quoted me the treatment amount . I was more than willing to have her do the treatment but, here I am 2 weeks with nasty vertigo and second time visiting this place All I got was a small tap on the side of my neck. I told her I needed an adjustment and she said , "oh no "I have to do it gradually. I'm thinking hmm !!! Is not like she's giving meds. I was pissed beyond words. I never went back for a 3rd visit . I basically got ripped off!!!! Before you go see this so called UCC , Do your research. I was desperate but quickly realized she is a BIG RIP OFF!!! read more

My daughter starting seeing Dr. Lee about three months ago, and since then she has seen a major improvement in her health. She crashed on an ATV a few months prior and began to experience a range of symptoms such as headaches, back and neck pain, heart palpitations, dizziness, and numbness. We finally figured out that it might be something to do with the crash affecting her neck, and Dr. Lee agreed once she did exams and took x-rays. She began treating my daughter two or three times a week. The visits are short (about 15 minutes) which is convenient. Dr. Lee is usually quick and thoughtful, but a few times my daughter felt like her visits were rushed and not as thorough as they could have been. But overall it has been a good experience and my daughter is grateful to have her health back. read more
