Efigenia Dominguez, DC

Definitivamente RECOMIENDO a la Dra. DOMINGUEZ aproximadamente tuve un accidente de carro en donde sufrí el impacto en toda mi espalda y desde que fui a su clínica y se hizo cargo de mi situación y tuve un buen tratamiento. Le doy gracias a ella y todo su equipo.

I have never been to a chiro before but my mom not feeling so well n I took her to doctor Dominguez n it was a great experience she treated my mom with kindness n care n that is the best for me to see my mom much better! I recommend her to anyone!!!

The Doctor: It seemed like a warm, good mannered clinic to be in. The doctor took the time to see me the first two times, first to get to know me, the second to fix a knee problem. And then my SIGHTINGS of her became PRIVILEGED and far in between. Shes always with somebody, maybe a patient more in need than i do, i wouldnt know. It seemed I had to press for her to see me and wait well after im done to do so. I could understand that some issues might be pressing than the rehabilitation of my knees and shoulder but these things I pay for, and IM PAYING TO SEE MY DOCTOR not the staff. Its a matter of scheduling and not double booking patients that you dont have time for each and everyone of them. Theres a reason why its called care.
The Staff: They are really nice and professional. That one dude with the pony tail goes beyond what is expected of him. If only the others were like him, This one lady left the ultrasound apparatus a bit too long on my arm and BURNT it, it left a red mark for a day. I didnt mind, though clearly she was new, she was also kind, but wth!
The Clinic: Dark, dank, OVER CROWDED. No private stalls with a door or even a curtain, everyone is EXPOSED to everyone, period.
The receptionist, Usenia specifically: OMG where should i begin? I called for a copy of my copay receipts, she said if i could come by, i said cant you just fax it? And she complied telling me to wait the same day. Nothing. Called the next day, said she got busy she’ll fax the same day. Nothing. Called her again the next day, said their billing dept didnt come thru and shes gonna ask them to fax it right away. Nothing. The next day I called (mind you i was keeping my cool the whole time) and got this response «Oh she didnt fax it?» Im like obviously not. Meanwhile there were no apologies, just excuses. Then tells me that shes on the phone now with billing and it will take TEN business days to fax it. Really? So I took it upon my self to just go to the office since she gave me the impression that it was there. I arrive told her about the issue and she had the gull to ask me where i learned that the receipts are gonna be in the office. She goes to the doctors office and i overhear the doctor say, tell him its not here and just ask him to come back. I was this close to breaking down the door and making them eat it. I know, i know its just a bunch of receipts but my god the time and effort. She then asked me if billing should just mail me the docs or if i could wait 15 mins for the fax. I said, i already waited 2 weeks, 15 mins shouldnt hurt. But it did, because 15 mins later she said that billing was backed up with patients and that they were gonna just mail the docs to me the next day. Well, Im still waiting. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! WILL NEVER EVER COME BACK HERE.

This is a great local business. I have some chronic pain issues and have been through lots of different kinds of treatments. I used to work in professional dance, so my old chiropractors were my home away from home, but I hadn’t gone in 2 – 3 years since moving and not dancing anymore.
I have seen Dr. Dominguez a few times, but I mostly see Dr. Cederstrom. He is a little corny (sorry, doc-​if you are reading), but he has a very great understanding of the body and where the pain is located. He is very trustworthy. I’ve been going once a week for a couple months now, and it has really been helping with my pain maintenance.
The desk staff and assistants are also great. They are also very laid back. You can do drop ins, miss appointments once in awhile and there aren’t any repercussions. It’s great to cover over my sins during a «fibro fog» day.

Dr. Dominguez and her staff did great work for me. When my upper-​mid back knotted up a couple months ago, I tried to wait it out for a few days but this time it hadn’t sorted itself out. It had gotten really difficult to sit upright, and it was also pretty uncomfortable to try to sleep i.e. laying flat on my back. It was probably my lack of motion, spending as much time on computers as I do.
After my first visit, I immediately started feeling better. After my third, I was all back in order. I expect I’ll go back a few more times this year to help stay aligned (and hopefully for nothing like what brought me in the first time).

I have had problems with back pain off and on since I was rear-​ended by an SUV on my scooter 15 years ago. I have seen other chiropractors, had acupressure and acupuncture, taken herbs and many many different types of medicines … you name it. But I have never felt pain relief such as I did after the first series of treatments I had with Dr. Dominguez. And she takes my insurance. Yay! I take the underground MUNI to her office in SF and it’s really easy to get there because the K line stops right on her block. The waiting room is usually packed but her staff is very adept at getting patients on a table quickly. Then comes my favorite part: they put these electrode things on your back, then lay superwarm hot packs all over. I usually come in the evenings after work so it doesn’t take me long to fall asleep. Then I usually wake up when the time is up on the electrode machine and it turns off. By then, my back already feels sooooo much better. Then someone takes everything off my back and puts on the best muscle rub ointment and gives me a mini-​massage. Then Dr. Dominguez comes over and works her magic. That lady knows every inch of my back and neck. She is a neck expert! She has told me things that had never even occurred to me about why something hurts. It’s ALL about cause and effect, people. Learn from her, call her now!

I’ve been to Dr. Dominguez many times over the past few years. Being a chiropractor myself I have bouts of lower back pain from all the bending over. Dr. G always gives me a great adjustment that get’s me back to work, painfree! Give her a call she is a fantastic person and her work is second to none.

I went to Efignia with lower back pain. after her adjustment, not only did it not help my lower back, but it some how screwed up my neck area as well. To make it worse, they first told me how much I was going to pay, then I recieved a bill two weeks later with a much higher amount. Probably the worst experience I ever had with a chiropractor.

DR. G ROCKS!!!
I had a dancing ‘whiplash’ accident at home the other day… rockin out a bit too much to my reggaeton mix and bam! there went my neck!
Dr. G Help!
I called Dr. Genia and was able to get an apointment that same day. Her and her wonderful assistants went all-​out with consultation, hot compress, awesome massage, electric-​pulse muscle treatment, cold compress & neck/​back adjustment. The whole team was great and my neck feels great now! yay!
I have known Dr. Dominguez for over 10 years, she is a hard worker with a wonderful, caring heart. You can see in her eyes that she loves helping people… and she has cool hair! What more do you need in a chiropractor!
oh yeah, ella habla espanol tambien… y ella tiene una programa de medicio en el radio! mucho caliente!
big hugs… your fan…
mr. Pam
