“Dr. Mohammad Diab is a miracle worker. We were expedited to see Dr. Diab from our son's pediatrician Dr. Pepitone when labs showed inflammation from his lumbar spine fracture. Dr. Diab took one look at my son, asked him some questions, and he ordered an MRI with contrast, a biopsy procedure, and more extensive lab work. He didn't want to operate on our son if antibiotics with IV could cure the problem first, followed by oral antibiotics. What a great doctor, he doesn't opt for surgery! Dr. Diab and his stellar team (Dr. Andrew Figoni, awesome assistant Eric and RN Dede Cerruti responding to my emails) went to work to save a 15-year-old's life, which was diagnosed as Osteomyelitis. We were all baffled by what crippled our son and caused him excruciating pain, especially with a healthy teenager. The delay with another orthopedic specialist (by sending him home) didn't help with his agonizing pain since Labor Day. Our son was admitted to PICU after the labs tested positive for bacteria leading to a serious infection from the "bone fracture". Needless to say, my world turned upside down as a mom. Thank God for Dr. Diab at UCSF, whom patients come to see from all over the world! Dr. Diab is an orthopedic surgeon and Chief of Pediatric Orthopedics at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. He earned his medical degree from Stanford University; he completed a residency in general orthopedic surgery at the University of Washington and a fellowship in pediatric orthopedic surgery at Harvard University. He came to UCSF in 2002. Our son is on a long road to recovery, but no more intense pain ~ AMEN! He can feel normal again and return to school. We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season thanks to UCSF and remarkable doctors like Dr. Diab! You bet I signed all the paperwork needed to research my son's samples from the biopsy to help save more teens who may walk in with the same symptoms. 'Til next time ~ stay healthy & blessed, see you on Yelp (SYOY)!“

“I had been working with Connor for 1-2 weeks when I got an MRI result telling me I had a torn labrum, with bursitis in my rotator cuff. I had very limited range of motion, not being able to hold my arm over my head or do a lateral raise without pain. I am a tennis player, and I hadn’t served in nearly two months. However over the following 5-6 weeks Connor worked very frequently with me to get my shoulder back on track. In that stretch Connor’s commitment and dedication to getting me healthy again showed in numerous ways. He would meet me as early as I needed, and would even get out on the tennis court early in the morning with me. I saw results very quickly. I first regained my strength, and then certain movements became less painful until ultimately it felt resolved. Connor is hyper analytical and has an answer for everything. He knows when to push and when to back off. He will give you extensive reports of your sessions and overall shows a sense of care, passion, commitment, and diligence that is extremely rare. I’m truly amazed at how quickly my shoulder has healed given the state of it 5-6 weeks ago. Thanks Connor!“

“Tammara changed the whole picture of health for me after a chronic neck injury kept me from sleeping well, affecting my posture and pulling my core out of alignment. I spent over a year w a PT at another facility and arrived in the same pain when I had my first session. She worked closely with me, gave me a clear treatment plan, helped me understand how my neck was affecting other pain areas. You can feel the years of expertise in understanding the physiology of injuries in her hands. She facilitated the healing though ART manual therapy, Shockwave for myofascial breakdown and WinBack Tecar for pain and muscular release as part of my rehabilitation.I returned to see Dr. Moore after I had PRP therapy in my left hip since strengthening this area post injection is critical to the success. She gave me mobility pattern exercises and I was able to ski six weeks post!!Highly recommend her expertise to anybody looking to regain movement, has bodily restrictions or wants to improve their performance to the next level.“

“Chalita is an amazing acupuncturist and an exceptional healer!! I can’t recommend her and Tamalpais community acupuncture enough!“

“Mackenzie is very caring, and put me at ease for my cortisone injection. We also talked my my surgery and she encouraged me that it would get better“

“The facility is clean and large, has lots of light, provides sufficient space for privacy, has well maintained equipment, and is located in a scenic area. A bonus to working out in the gym is the beautiful view of the Aquatic Park recreation area.“

“I have been seeing Ryan and his associates at Marinwood Community Accupuncture for several years. It seems that whatever concern I have, acupuncture has given me a solution. I recently saw Ryan as I'd had new troubling symptoms present themselves. Since I have "disc issues," I was concerned about the feelings I was having in my right knee, hip and leg. I saw Ryan. We conversed. He applied acupuncture. Issue resolved. In my humble opinion, he is deeply knowledgable and highly skilled. AND....at a reasonable cost, he is my "Go To" Health Practitioner before seeking other help!“

“I’ve been to a ton of Chiropractors (4 in Marin alone) and Dr Britton is by far the best. If you have an issue with your body that you want to resolve - go to her. If you just want to get cracked because you like the way it feels, go somewhere else. She is not happy cracky.I’ve had chronic issues with my back for a very long time and she took the time to really diagnose and then treat the source of the issue, not just the location of pain. She cares deeply about you getting better and she is a master of Active Release Technique which is soft tissue work and it really does work.Additionally, every appointment starts right on time, you have her full attention for the full duration and then she will share stretches and exercises on how you can accelerate with home care. It’s exactly what I wanted and after a few weeks of treatment I feel great and she told me I don’t have to come back unless I have another issue!Couldn’t recommend her more. I’ve sent my whole family and all my friends to her and they love her.“

“As a former athlete, I have experienced Massage, Rolfing, Chiropractic, Yoga and Myofascial work. These are different types of body care that cover different parts of the body. Thor specializes in the Myofascial system that is quite different than a muscle massage or deep stretching of tendons via Rolfing. Thor is exceptional and uses his trained techniques to allow the body to release tension and gain movement. His hands are strong & gentle, he follows the tension and holds until it releases. I always leave his office relaxed, calm and loose. He really cares about one's health and positive results. His service is great for athletes looking to extend their playing days or helping one through a recent surgery by gaining range of motion.“

“There are few doctors like Dr. Jane Denton, who take the time to listen and respond. She is caring, professional, intelligent and never makes you feel rushed or like you are taking up too much of her time. I feel fortunate that we have found Dr. Denton, to help my dancing daughter recover from her sesamoid injury.“

“Dr Brenda is fabulous. I have been going to her for years. She is professional, kind and a genius at dealing the myriad of my physical issues. I have arthritis, back and neck degeneration as well as shoulder issues. She keeps me going. I would recommend her at 10 stars plus.“

“After 10+ years of low back pain initially from a work related injury, I decided to try a different approach and was referred to Dr Derik at the Muscle & Joint Clinic. Since going, I have a much better quality of life and significantly reduced pain. I feel like I am an active participant in the plan and really listened to. I am able to recover better from physical activity and since going, I have had few to no back spasms. A miracle!! I would recommend being mentally prepared by: 1) being patient, results really do take time 2) do your prescribed exercises!! It will only benefit you and facilitate the treatment plan 3) yes there is some pain/discomfort involved, but it is purposeful and leads to progress and 4) be committed because it is time consuming but worth it in the end. Promise!! I know my body better because of Dr. Derik & Company and could not be more pleased with my experience at the Muscle & Joint Clinic. Staff are wonderful, shoutout to Alex for his positivity and explaining things in a way that I can grasp & remember later. Side note: Easy to get on/off the freeway and parking is no problem.“

“I am 61 and snapped my Achilles in two playing pickleball. Dr. Goltz was my surgeon (he has successfully repaired both kids' ACL and my wife's ankle). Six weeks after my surgery, I am walking without a boot, crutches, etc. I recently ran into two gentlemen 20 years younger than me who blew up their Achilles at about the same time as I did...both 8-9 weeks in casts and plastic boots...no walking yet. Since I just started PT, I can only give credit to the good doctor's surgical skills. Highly recommend. Other family members had similar experiences.“
