I quit smoking. Of course I decided to test myself last night so I went out with some friends, some that still smoke, and all of us having a few beers. I didn't even think about having a cigarette even after having a few beers. I feel empowered now. I told my them about this treatment and some seemed interest. Franc helped me with this issue that has been a great concern for many years now.

Dr. Alex is fantastic. Best office I have experienced. The Chiro Care combined with Massage is Excellent. Laurence comes in and stretches and massages me out for 10-15 minutes. I have had one massage every week for a month. By Far best combination for your pain and Laurence is probably the Best Massage Therapist I have experienced. Chiro and Massage is very affordable rather than going to a Spa and paying $90-$120 on a 50 minute massage I get a solid 60 minutes for $75 and I pre-paid for a pack of 5 for less than that. A Must go and you should also.
Pros: Location, parking, Chiro and Massage

Hard to believe one can actually look forward to visiting the dentist, but in this instance it's true....
In the time I've been his patient, I have always been treated with the utmost respect by everyone in CitiDent, but the tone is obviously set by Dr. Amini himself. His first concern has always been my care & comfort, and not just the obvious issue of pain management. Like most of us who need more than routine dental care, finances are the next issue, and he and his staff are right there to work with me and my insurance company to overcome any obstacles to receiving necessary care in a timely fashion. Even when things don't go quite perfectly - for instance, the occassional appointment scheduling mix-up (for which I usually bear some responsibility.....) - CitiDent has been more than accommodating in correcting problems.
The results of his care and concern are obvious in my smile, but not just the teeth themselves. It's the way I feel knowing that a truly professional practice supports my dental health. I highly recommend CitiDent and Dr. Amini to anyone needing dental care - and, in my opinion, it's worth the trip into San Francisco for the best care around.
Pros: Extremely comfortable environment
Cons: They don't serve beer......

Marnie McCurdy has employed me for nearly 4 years. Over time I have seen many happy patients treated successfully by her. Because of my severe fear of needles I was too scared to ever seek treatment from her for past aches and pains. That is until I developed horrible nerve pain in my feet. My medical doctor didn?t have any answers other than Rx's that may or may not help, and had terrible side affects. I was desperate for relief:
I started my treatment with Marnie several weeks ago and it has been amazing. She made me feel so comfortable I didn?t even realize when the first needle was inserted. I had to laugh out loud at my self for being so frightened. There was no pain at all. With other needles I could feel them but it was just kind of weird sensations. I felt some immediate relief after the first treatment. As time went on I had more and more relief from the pain and the relief lasted longer and longer after the treatments. Marnie also took into account my lifestyle, eating habits and even my emotional well-being. We?re working on nutrition at this point. Next time I have any new aches and pains I?m calling Marnie before my M.D.

More 2 months ago
I decided to go to Elizabeth about 9 months after I stopped nursing my son. A month after I stopped nursing, a slew of very weird symptoms began--which included, numbness on one side of my body (left), particularly in my leg that would last for up to 14 days; heat sensation in my foot that sometimes went up my leg to my back, itchy calves and hands, irregular menstrual cylcles along with cyclical migraines and a couple scary bouts of anxiety. My cycles, which were always 28 days before, alternated between 18-35 days. I immediately had an MRI to rule out potential neurological issues (since the numbness/tingling wouldn't go away) and further tests to rule out multiple sclerosis (which were all thankfully negative).
I began tracking my symptoms which I realized were coinciding with my menstr. cycles. So, I decided to see my OB/GYN thinking my issue was hormonal, but she just referred me back to the neurologist, saying my symptoms were neurological, not gynecological. After a while I just became disconcerted with the docs who either doubted the authenticity of what was actually occurring or just reassured me to just live with it since it wasn't anything life threatening. I don't think they understood that I couldn't just ignore weird health symptoms that I never had before and that were occurring each month with my new found crazy cycles--not to mention that I didn't want to go around for two whole weeks of each month with a heavy, numb, tingly foot or leg. Also, I just couldn't stop thinking, at the fairly young age of 34 to "just live with it."
Then in my search for an alternative medicine doc, I was referred to Elizabeth by a friend. Elizabeth listened to everything I had to say, took down all of my symptoms and put me on an herbal tea (2 doses/day) and weekly acupuncture regimen for 3 months. After the first couple weeks I immediately began noticing a difference and my list of symptoms seemed to get shorter and shorter each week. After my first month with Elizabeth, my cycles went back to normal (which was impressive after my prior 9 months of irregularity) and after the third month, the only symptom remaining was a slight numb and tingly feeling in my foot which has since disappeared with a few extra acupuncture-only sessions (no more medicinal tea)!
Needless to say, Elizabeth is absolutely amazing--a true professional and extremely well-trained and knowledgeable in Chinese medicine and acupuncture. My visits with her (even though I'm not a fan of the needles) have been an absolute treat --she always explained what certain things mean in Chinese medicine to me (such as a liver/spleen deficiency or soggy pulse) and put up with occasional bouts of acting like a complete baby.
Prior to this experience, my thoughts on Chinese medicine/acupuncture were neutral, but I am now a firm believer that with the RIGHT acupuncturist (Elizabeth!), the sky's the limit.
Pros: Professional/Treatments a success!
Cons: None

After a violent automobile accident my daughter and I were in need of specific chiropractic and accupuncture care. PotreroChiros took immediate action, made a review of our needs and put us on a solid rehabilition program. We received excellent health care. We are both now doing very well.
PotreroChiros also took complete responsibility for the insurance billings. We did not have to think twice about insurance, billing, or money. Our health was their main concern while staff took care of business.
Pros: location, convenience, ease of appointments

I can't thank Kirsten Hill enough for the wonderful work she did on me. She is very gentle and compassionate. Not only did her work help shift things on a very deep physical and emotional level, but I believe it really helped me get through the stress of an out of state move. I would highly recommend Dr. Hill's chiropractic services.

Dr. Chao is a wonderful dentist who doesn't doesn't make me feel any worse that I already do for not flossing daily. Everyone in the office is very accommodating, especially with my frequent re-schedule and occasional tardiness. A great feature of the office is the great view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Another nice touch is that they provided an iPod to listen to during one of the longer procedures.
