Dr. David Bronat

Around my fifth month of pregnancy, I started to suffer from sharp pains in my tailbone area everytime I would walk or turn. It became so bad that I stopped walking much and when I did, I had a bit of a limp. My general practitioner suggested seeing a chiropractor as the relaxin hormone may have readjusted my pelvic area in preparation for the baby. I chose Dr. Bronant based on his excellent Unilocal reviews and he also doctored my insurance. He was also able to fit me in to see him the next day.
On the first visit, I was evaluated and he seemed to understand the issue immediately. When I left, I immediately felt a bit better, and after a few consecutive visits, the pain was completely gone! I continued to see him for weekly visits to continue realignment through to my delivery, which was a great idea as I continued to feel fantastic throughout. Before delivering my baby, he was in the perfect position and I had no back labor pains at all — which I can’t help but attribute to Dr. Bronant’s care. He is really a superb chiropractor and fun to chat with while he’s at work too. Highly recommended!

dr. bronat is absolutely incredible! he takes the time to explain everything he’s doing and provides you the correct exercises and stretches to do at home. when he does the adjustments — you’re gonna instantly feel a lot better. he’s very punctual and the appts don’t take long at all! already looking forward to my next appointment.
oh and he’s a very nice and extremely professional and the office is clean and easily accessible!
definitely recommend!

I had never been to a chiropractor before, but I was having this sudden pain in my neck every so often that was making me rather nervous. Dr. Bronat really took the time to explain why he thought I was having this pain (how I was sitting at work) and what exercises and stretches I needed to do to fix it. He told me it would take 2x a week for 4 weeks and it ended up only taking 4 appointments! I really appreciated that he told me he thought I was done before his initial estimate. I feel soo much better now! Definitely recommend.

Awesome! He is so funny and very good at what he does. Plus you never have to wait long to see him. Totally recommend!

I would highly recommend Dr. Bronat. This past Tuesday, I popped out a rib while exercising in the morning. Dr. Bronat was able to take me in later that afternoon, and it was no hassle. The pain I had prior to my appointment was excruciating (e.g., muscle tenderness, difficulty breathing, etc…). It is now Thursday (two days later) and my back is virtually painless. Dr. Bronat was efficient, and knew exactly what to do to remedy my situation. I will absolutely return.

I generally don’t like to go to chiropractors but need to go every now and then for back issues that won’t be fixed by bikram. I went in with horrible lower back pain. It was making me nauseous it was so painful. Nothing I did would make it better. After a few weeks I finally relented and went to see Dr. Bronat. I was not disappointed. After my adjustment my pain was 80% gone. After my follow-​up visit it was almost completely gone. Understand that I i’m talking about excruciating pain where I could barely move. also for both of my appointments I was taken promptly. The office is very clean and very professional. I can’t recommend him enough.

I absolutely love Dr. Bronat and Dana (I think that’s the front desk persons name?)
Anyway, came here at 19 weeks pregnant with my 2^nd and could not walk right! Everything hurt. As soon as he finished, I felt awesome.
Came back today for my follow up and I plan to keep coming back once a week until I deliver. He’s so nice and I feel great when I leave! He isn’t rough and doesn’t adjust for the sake of adjusting. He really tailors his approach for me and I enjoy that. Highly recommend.

Dr. Bronat is a very good chiropractor, something I have found to be rare, at least here in DC. He is very approachable and takes the time to figure out what is causing his patient’s problems. He then explains it thoroughly and offers what seem to be targeted treatments. I do agree with many on here that his adjustments are just a little bit too gentle, at least for me, so I stopped noticing much of a difference and had to go elsewhere. But, that’s just me, I still recommend him for anyone contemplating Chiropractic for the first time, and if it works for you, then even better

I found Dr. Bronat through Unilocal and really couldn’t be happier. I have a lovely mix of scoliosis, military neck and migraine headaches. Not long ago I could hardly carry a purse without causing extreme discomfort and triggering a migraine. I also had been taking 800mg of ibuprofen three times a day for roughly 10 years. Now, I’m happy to say that with the help of Dr. Bronat I am completely off of ibuprofen (and other anti-​inflammatory meds) and am actually pain free for the first time in a decade. That’s HUGE for me! I had been living with chronic pain for so long that I actually could not remember the last time I had a day without it. Now, I go in occasionally for «tweaks», but the pain level is legitimately at a zero.
I should also add that Dr. Bronat is a pleasure to work with. He takes great care with his patients and is authentic with his sincerity. I am a very happy patient. :-)

I’ve been seeing Dr. David since his days in the basement that is/​was Bally’s.
There’s a reason this guy has a near perfect rating on here. He’s kind, patient, funny and does that whole chiropractic thing very well. He has always squeezed me in when my back decides to boycott me, and has also squeezed in several of my friends at the last minute. I go weekly for maintenance and increase frequency as needed. The flow he has with multiple patients always seems to work well and I rarely wait more than a few minutes. Highly recommended!

Dr. Bronat is terrific. I’ve seen several chiropractors before and he is among the best. He is very good at picking out even the smallest alignment issues and solving them with slight adjustments. Great office location, easy to make appointments, takes my insurance — plus he loosens up my neck and I can finally sleep through the night!

1^st ever visit to Chiropractor. Had stiff neck that wouldn’t go away after months. Constant popping was driving me crazy. Encouraged by great Unilocal.Nice guy, one man operation, but my experience was of several sessions with him sticking electrodes (whatever) and leaving me while he worked on another client. He tried to de-​crackle my neck, but was unsuccessful. No substantive laying on of hands or work aside of crackling. Office got insurance payments and charged me as well. Gave me some ineffective exercises. Had a MUCH better experience with George Russell in NYC, who really worked on realignment.

I have never been to a chiropractor before, but I have heard a range of experiences from others that made me wonder if I was making a good choice. My initial visit with Dr. Bronat put those fears to rest. I went to him with lower back pain and a little over a month later I feel like I have a new back. The other thing I really like about him is he tells you up front the plan he has for you so you don’t feel like he is expecting you to be a permanent client… because I have no desire to visit a chiropractor two time per week for eternity. His office is only a few blocks from the metro which is also convenient.

I have never been to a Chiropractor before. Yesterday, I picked up a rag and out wet my back. The pain hurt so bad. Today, I went to see him based on the reviews here, and I was not disappointed. He took me right away. My back is not perfect, but no one on earth is a miracle worker :-P
He is a great guy, knows his stuff, and I was impressed the most on how quickly he could put me in his schedule. That is a rarity here in a busy city.

I set up my first appointment based on Unilocal reviews alone. I came in for my first visit experiencing headaches and neck pain. Dr David went through an initial consultation with me and some preliminary treatment. He ordered some xrays (which I was able to get done same day in the same building). At my next appointment, he sat down and explained what was wrong. He believed the majority of my issues stemmed from bad posture and working at a computer all day.
He suggested a twice a week appointment for 4 weeks. I was skeptical at first, but boy am I glad I did it. I was pretty sore after my first treatment. Dr Bronat explained it would take my body some time to get used to the Chiropractic adjustments.
I am writing this at the end of the 4 week initial treatment. My headaches are all but gone and my neck isn’t nearly as sore as it was. Dr Bronat also gave me some exercises and stretches to try at home.
Dr Bronat is a great guy. Hes always friendly and welcoming. He goes out of his way to explain what hes doing and why. He also adjust treatments as necessary depending on how you are feeling. I’ve already recommended him to coworkers and friends.
I used to think Chiropractors were quacks, but Dr Bronat changed my mind. He got me fixed up in no time at all. Its so much better to treat the problem rather than taking pain meds to cover it up.

Having only lived in DC for a relatively short amount of time, I’d never used a chiropractor here before– until I pulled my back really bad and found myself unable to do most normal things: like walking and moving. Dr. Bronat’s schedule for that week was full, yet he made room for me on a moment’s notice, once I explained the severity of my condition. Not only that, he also saw me two more times that week. He is very intuitive and connected to his patients, and he genuinely seems to care about their condition. Would definitely recommend!

Dr. Bronat is a life-​saver. I woke up one morning finding it incredibly difficult to walk without excruciating pain. I dragged myself to his office, two blocks from my place. He discovered I had developed plantar fascitis and got to work on trying to reverse it, doing therapy and exercises with my pain. It has gotten quite manageable now. He’s an incredibly busy man with lots of patients, but it makes sense to me why he is in high-​demand.

Dr. David rocks! He’s super patient and thorough. During my initial appointment we discussed all of my issues and concerns about my back/​neck problems. He suggested X-​rays which I went and did right after my appointment. A couple days later we went over the results and he was very explanatory in what the issues were and what we need to do to fix them. He’s awesome and I’m so glad I found him!

Happy to report that I have been seeing Dr. David Bronat for some time now. It’s VERY DIFFICULT to find a chiropractor who isn’t full of shit. I’ve been to many in the DC area and can testify to how awesome and honest Dr. Bronat is.
Number one, he’s just an overall cool dude with great hours and stellar location. He is there to listen to your problems and fix them in no time. Sometimes you might be in his office for 5 minutes, other times for longer. Basically my point is, he doesn’t waste your time on frivolous work that you just don’t need. SOOOO many chiros in the area will milk you try with useless xrays and recommend you come multiple times a week. Not this dude. He only suggests and gives what is absolutely necessary.
Now, as for his treating capabilities he’s ON POINT. I normally just go in for the occasional neck crack that causes me headaches about once every 6 – 8 weeks or so but on occasion he’s been there to help when I’ve done foolish things like fall down drunk down some stairs or hurt my back shoveling snow. Oh the snow thing — I really hurt my back this past winter and I could barely muster the strength to get into his office. He worked some magic on my back for about 20 minutes and the next day my back felt normal again. I mean, this guy knows what he’s doing.
Highly recommend this guy to anyone needing a chiro. Works wonders and again, doesn’t rip you off. Dr. Bronat is ON POINT.

I have only gone to a chiropractor a couple of times in the past, but several forms of chronic medium-​level pain compelled me to try one.
I am so very glad I found Dr. Bronat (thank you, Unilocalers!). He has a very kindly demeanor in a nice office space, but most importantly, with two visits he cleared up two areas of constant pain and made lots of progress on the third. I will go back again when I get time for followup visits when I have time again.
I should also note that his rates are very reasonable. My insurance doesn’t cover chiropractors, so I paid out of pocket. $ 115 for the first visit and $ 50 for followup — that averages out to be cheaper than a one hour massage.
If you have nagging pain in your neck or back, I strongly recommend you try out Dr. Bronat. I’m telling everyone about him.
Oh, beware that some online tools have their old address on 20^th street. Unilocal has the correct one on 19^th.
