Smith Family Chiropractic

Dr. Smith’s strategy for improvement of spinal health fits very well with my routine. With frequent timely visits he has managed to help retrain my back to a much healthier state, increasing blood flow between vertebrae, causing a healthy gap between the bones allowing for greater nerve health and flexibility. It’s amazing how many seemingly-​unrelated secondary symptoms can be improved simply when spinal health is improved. He explains his technique very well and is always happy to answer any questions. He also measures progress and hones his strategy with yearly X-​rays. It’s great to know that someone is on my side to help offer advice and prevent the affects of today’s often-​too-​sedentary work lifestyle. I can’t count how many times I have slept wrong or in inadequate conditions, or even stretched wrong, and with a quick email I’m able to come in within 48 hours for a rescue.
None of the chronic stiffness or lack of ability to sleep has ever resurfaced since I started with Dr. Smith over 4 years ago. Thank you Dr. Smith!

My mom is a chiropractor so I’m pretty no-​nonsense about chiropractic care; I know when someone has skills but I don’t believe the hype. Dr. Smith has some mad, mad skillz. He’s the best adjuster I’ve ever come across (sorry mom!) I’m difficult to adjust; I’m little and stiff muscled and I’m in a lot of pain. But he jumps in and out super smoothly, and the right bones always go pop in the right way. Bad chiropractic can actually quite mess you up. You won’t get bad chiropractic here.
He’s a nice guy, if intense, and the office is sparkly clean and very friendly. It’s a little too evangelical for my preferences («chiropractic can CHANGE YOUR LIFE» lol) but when you have chops like this dude, you’re allowed to be preachy. If your back hurts, go see Dr. Smith. You can keep looking at more Unilocal reviews but you’re not going to find a more skilled chiropractor than this one.

Very happy with Dr. Smith! I was referred by a friend and have been here almost a year! He is very friendly and personable. He caters the adjustment to your needs and how your body is feeling that day. Dr. Smith remembers all his patients and what is happening in their lives. The staff is also wonderful; customer service at it’s best! And lastly, they are very flexible with my ever changing schedule!

I have been going to Dek for several years now. He initially helped with with some neck pain and I am now going once a month, to keep my spine in good shape. I look forward to my visit, the staff is so friendly and Dr. is very knowledgeable and always caring about how things are going for me. A real find!

I have been treated by Dr. Smith for several years.
I was in a car accident, hit from behind, and I needed to be adjusted.
I have had great results and now just go in bi-​weekly for what I call my tune-​ups. He even helps me when my allergies flare up. He works on my sinuses and when I step out of the office, I feel relieved and I can breath again. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and the atmosphere is inviting and friendly.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Smith for five years. He’s done miracles for my neck and back. He’s a top-​notch professional, very knowledgeable, and thorough with his care. Each patient is treated with respect, dignity, kindness, and empathy. The office staff is very helpful, efficient, and courteous. When I have had other health issues, Dr. Smith had recommended doctors from whom I continue to receive great benefits. He has a unique gift of making each patient feel very special. I feel like I am part of his wonderful family.

I have been going to Dr. Smith since 2007 for my ongoing back issues. He and his staff have always been very… Professional and helpful to my families needs.
His office is clean, organized and has a staff always smiling to greet you when visiting. The office staff is truly concerned about their patients’ well-​being. This shows in the quality of care Dr. Smith provides and in the personalized customer service, yes they treat you like family. They do what they can to accommodate their patients’ busy lives, and are extremely helpful with sorting through any insurance or scheduling concerns.
You get a card that you slide in the computer automated check in system that keeps track of your progress. The adjustments are wonderful and time efficient (about 2 minutes long)…so you’re in and out. Sometimes you have to wait for a few minutes, but at mostly that is due to Dr. Smith explaining to a patient extra care they may need to do that day. Honestly when I hear him do this, I am comforted by knowing if I had any questions he would do the same for me. He never makes me wait long even if he is with a patient and I am usually out of there in 10 – 15 minutes (that is if I am not talking) then I am get moving on with my day. I love that they are open really early in the morning for people like me that have full time jobs and have to start the work day at (7:30AM). So if you’re looking for the best, then Dr. Smith is your doctor to check out for care, give them a call, who knows maybe they can hook you up with a free exam and some x-​rays too!

A couple of months ago, I crushed a disc in my neck at c5 c6 and lost the use of my left arm and was in extreme pain.
Having never been to a chiropractor, I didn’t know what to expect, but I was desperate for relief. I live nearby so I dropped in and asked Dr. smith if he could give me an adjustment to relieve some pain. He informed me that he would have to x-​ray my spine first. He then proceeded to tell me how messed up my spine is and that he could fix it, but it would be like 7,8 thousand dollars but if I paid up front he could do it for 5 thousand dollars.
That blew me away… So I declined to sign on, still in extreme pain, and wondering what the heck was going on here, Dr. Smith informed me that I owed him $ 245. for digital x-​rays that took five minutes??? I paid and left but came back and asked if he would at least meet me in the middle on the x-​rays. His reply… No, that’s not good business. Hey, at least I asked. I will never go to a chiropractor again. What a rip

I’ve been seeing Dr Smith for six months now for chronic back issues. Having never had chiropractic care in the past, I was concerned about it’s efficacy, but Dr Smith took the time to talk through every question I had, and was able to pin point the exact locations of the spinal subluxation even before he confirmed it with the x rays. Whenever any problem comes up, his spinal adjustments always help. The staff here is also courteous and helpful. The care here is a tad expensive, though, but the care is worth it.

I have been seeing Dr Smith for about 5 years now. I didn’t know if I trusted chiropractic work because so many say they just «make you believe» you feel better. I was very skeptical. There were a few things that made Dr. Smith’s practice stand out to me. 1. He came recommended and was very well known in Los Gatos, though all the sports medicine he provided to athletes in the area. My friends that used him in high school, still continue to see him 10 – 15 years later. 2. He has a family practice, which I really liked. When I went and visited, he was very calm, non-​pushy and gentle. 3. He offered me before and after x-​rays, so I could put my skepticism at ease. I suffered from massive migraines, that would sometimes last up to one week. I also had really bad back pain. I’m in construction and now I’m a Mom. My body gets put through the ringer on a daily basis. My initial x-​rays showed that I had lost almost all of the curvature in my neck, that’s where a lot of my migraines were coming from. My after x-​rays showed huge improvement in the curvature of my neck. That was proof in black and white, literally. Since my time with Dr. Smith, my migraines have decreased severely (I won’t say I never get them anymore bc other things can trigger them for me), and so has my back pain. I’m grateful that he adjusted me all the way through my pregnancy and has adjusted my little one a few times too. Currently, Myself, My Husband (also in construction) goes to Dr. Smith and so does my pregnant sister. I’m so grateful for Dr. Smith and how much he has helped me & many people I care about.

I have been going to Dr. Smith for over 10 years and to no surprise I have been well taken care of… Professional and very helpful in my need for ongoing back problems.

I’ve been going to Dr. Smith for almost three years now. I have low-​grade, chronic neck pain that I’ve had my whole life due to scoliosis. Weekly adjustments completely alleviate the pain. Many chiropractors have trouble adjusting necks and mine is tricky, but Dr. Smith is great at it and I trust him wholeheartedly. In addition to adjustments, he has recommended hip stretches that have helped my running. Although he is very busy, he’ll chat about wellness anytime. He has helped a colleague of mine as well with her back pain. I highly recommend him and his staff (I love Christy!).

Doc Smith is trustworthy and kind, and his adjustments are fantastic! I have been regularly visiting him since 2005 – my neck was a wreck. Now my neck bones are in the proper place, I am more flexible and so much healthier – despite no apparent change in stressful job, etc! The staff have always been friendly and super professional. There is also a great neighborhood feeling to the office. This place has been a great partner in my staying healthy– you could say they’ve got your back! :)

Dr. Smith came to my salon to give all the stylists suggestions on how to take care of ourselves better, since we stand on our feet all day. He also gave us complimentary exams and x-​rays to make sure our bodies are in optimum shape. I have always had lower back pain, but never knew who to trust or how to go about looking for a good chiropractor. The girls that work with Dr. Smith were so nice and helpful when I went for my free exam. They always know your name (it’s kind of crazy…). I am now on a 4 ½ month plan to get my back and my neck fixed. I have been feeling a lot better and hopefully when Winter rolls around, my back wont ache at all.
His office is big, clean, and organized. They have a computer automated check in system. The adjustments are much shorter than what I expected (about 2 minutes long)…so you’re in and out. Sometimes you have to wait for a few minutes, but at most you’d be there for 10 – 15 minutes then you get to move on w/​your life. They open really early in the morning for those that have full time jobs like me (7:30AM). So if you’re curious, give them a call, who knows maybe they can hook you up w/​a free exam and some x-​rays too!
