Auer Integrative Health

One hour before my last appointment I got a call from Dr. Auer’s office cancelling it because «The doctor could not find time to prepare my report». I was asked to come in early Monday morning (before office hours) or during lunch the next day, neither of which was convenient for me.
If it were really true that he did not find time to prepare my report (due on a Thursday), why was I not informed earlier? And no, I was not offered an apology on my next visit, not even an acknowledgement. I find this behavior very rude.
Since the doctor has a 24 hour cancellation policy shouldn’t he extend the same courtesy to his patients? I guess newer patients who are charged a higher rate get priority.
Initially at every visit I was handed a protocol sheet which was completely filled. But of late, I am not always handed or emailed one and in the one I do have, the «Duration» column is left blank which leaves me not knowing how long I have to continue taking the medication. And since he won’t answer my questions over phone or by email (I have tried repeatedly), I have to make an appointment.
I no longer feel he is a sincere and caring doctor, just very business minded.

I have been seeing Dr. Auer for a little over two years now. I originally sought him out after struggling to find someone to properly diagnose my many medical issues (skin, digestive, plateaued weight-​loss, allergies, insomnia, etc…), along with growing chronic forearm pain. I immediately found comfort and relief with the over the phone consultation he provided. I found him to be very easy to talk to and a great listener. He gave me a great deal of advice to get me started without having to even step foot in his office. He made me feel like someone finally understood what I was going through and was confident they had the tools that could help me heal. After my first appointment had concluded, I knew I had made the right decision.
Over the next few months Dr. Auer’s use and knowledge of Functional Medicine helped to uncover the many root causes of my symptoms. With the aide of his recommended supplementation, nutrition, and lifestyle changes I finally felt in control of my health. If you’re looking for a personable doctor who really takes the time for their patients and really knows their stuff, I can’t say enough good things. Not to mention Adam at the front desk is so easy to talk to and deal with. Many times I’ve had to make last minute appointments due to embarrassing medical issues. Adam is always professional, kind, respectful, and accommodating. Whether you just want to take your health/​nutrition to the next level or have a medical issue you’re seeking relief for, Dr. Auer is the man to see. Give his office a call. The only thing you’ll regret is not calling sooner.

Impressed is to put it lightly. Today I spent an hour with Dr. Auer discussing his approach to Functional Medicine. Structured, Detailed, Thorough, and unlike anything I have seen. Dr Auers program in my Professional opinion is one of the best bar none available.
It all starts with a detailed process of gathering information followed by a foundational transition period based off of the findings and reports. These include (as needed and vary by patient) various blood, stool and other panels that provide valuable insight to the foundational and transitional aspect of the program.
If you are interested in improving your general health, athletic performance or specifically if you are battling more involved and chronic health issues such as rheumatoid arthritis, IBS, GI, Sleep disorders, etc. then I highly recommend Dr. Auers program.
The program focuses on You, your body chemistry and using whole foods as well as supplements (as needed) to improve your health state/​condition.
I rarely ever share this kind of information or feedback but I so believe in what he offers and have to figure a way to do this in my practice because this is next level health care.

I actually used to go to Dr. Scott Swarthout, who was Dr. Dan’s partner in the past, but Dr. Dan would fill in any time Dr. Scott wasn’t available for an appointment. Now, I’ve been a Dr. Dan faithful for years. He and his staff are so personable and professional, and I’ve never had a problem getting an appointment at this office. Which is great, because I tend to only call for appointments when I’m in agony!
I mostly go for just chiropractic adjustment services, since I’ve had intermittent back, neck, and shoulder issues over the last few years from working at a computer too many hours in the day (first as a student with a lot of research papers to write, then as a full-​time desk-​job-​type employee). He almost always pinpoints and addresses my issues within 1 – 2 adjustments, which (if you’ve ever gone to any chiropractor) is a huge added bonus!
I don’t often subscribe to holistic medicine (in all fairness, I don’t usually like going to the medical doctor either), but when I have gone the holistic route at this office, I have not regretted any of it. The inside-​out approach to integrative medicine at this office is fantastic and surprisingly effective. I also never feel pressured into trying anything I don’t feel comfortable with, which I appreciate.
Dr. Dan is a little pricier than some of the other options out there, but I’ve had such a consistently great experience with him and his office that I honestly haven’t wanted to try anywhere else.

First off, Daniel Auer is an amazing man through and through. Just as a person I’m lucky to have met him. Second, He is an extremely skilled, knowledgable, professional Chiropractor. What I find truly amazing though is his Integrative Medicine practice. He works to fully understand your needs and provides you with all the tools you need to change your Self from the inside out. His approach is gentle and rooted in science and experience. He thinks well outside the cookie cutter box of General practitioner M.D.s. I have worked with many Chiropractors over the years but haven’t gotten the same immediate AND long lasting relief as I have with Doctor Auer. For reference, I’m an athlete in my 30’s, I’ve had a long standing shoulder injury and chronic tightness through my mid back. He is the only person that can consistently adjust my mid thoracic spine. Anyway, look no further for complete holistic and integrative care. Doctor Auer will set you straight inside and outside and he’ll do it with genuine caring.

I have been to Dr. Auer with various sports injuries and autoimmune reactions. He is always able to quickly get my body back in alignment after an injury, without pressuring me to come back on a regular basis like many chiropractors have a habit of doing. I can’t see myself going to any other chiropractor after him. He also has a sound holistic/​functional medicine practice which provides natural options for treating and curing chronic disease without the side effects that come with the prescriptions the medical doctors are so ready to prescribe me. Its a relief to find a medical practitioner willing to find a cure to the root problem and not just treat a symptom like most medical doctors.

I was not in good shape before I met Dr. Auer.
I had high blood pressure, insomnia, stiffness neck, and shoulder pain. They troubled me for years. Then I was told that I am pre-​diabetic, and it really woke me up. My daughter said she needed to find a doctor to fix my body before it was too late.
Dr. Auer has plenty of practical Nutrition knowledge, and he is an experienced Chiropractic. He is just the one we are looking for ! :)
At first, Dr. Auer reviewed my blood test and questioned every detail about my medical history, then he gave me some treatments and supplements recommendations. During about 6 months of treatments and a balanced diet, I feel better and better day by day, in many respects. I do not look like a sick person anymore – I feel younger, more energetic, and happier to live life to its fullest.
I also did a Food Test and a Detox program with Dr. Auer, they helped me to better understand the importance between food and health, and changed my lifestyle in months.
I am so lucky to have met Dr. Auer, and have the chance to accept his modern, innovative treatment. I have never felt better and been in better health. I still regularly see Dr. Auer. I value his advice very much – he is like my health, nutritional, and spiritual advisor. Dr. Auer is strongly committed to his patients and his approach is encouraging and supportive. I can positively say I love my new lifestyle, it gives me a whole new life !
If I can do it, you can too ! :)

I had a few casual conversations with Dr. Auer before he took over the practice which made me think he was focused more on the business (i.e. $$) than the practice. Unfortunately, I found this to be true when I scheduled an appt. with him (thinking he was another chiropractor) in 2012. For that visit, I was charged about $ 700!
However, because I was very light-​headed and felt like passing out (not Dr. Auer’s fault but I was told that they needed the room I was lying down in so I needed to leave), I just paid it. I also did not feel much of any difference in my back or body from the treatment. If you do go to Dr. Auer, be really careful that you’re asking «how much» before agreeing to any treatments.

After much frustration with specialized medical doctors trying to individually treat my allergies, skin-​rash, digestive issues, and shoulder pain with no results my good friend recommended that I book an appointment with Dr Auer.
Dr Auer is not your typical «crack your back and come back» chiropractor. He truly takes a comprehensive approach to every patient and tries to see things that are under the surface.
Just the intake form alone was such a relief because I knew he was going to look at me as a person and try to understand my total health picture as it relates to my diet and lifestyle.
Meeting with Dr Auer completely surpassed my expectations. He has a deep understanding of the human body and how lifestyle impacts every system. He’s also great at explaining these complex concepts to someone not familiar with all the professional terms.
It is absolutely fascinating and enlightening how he relates nutrition to your overall-​wellness.
After a few visits, my shoulder pain moved down on the pain scale by 2 points and I had a whole new perspective on how my diet is contributing to my other health problems and a clear road-​map on how to eat for better health.
If you are frustrated with unnamed conditions and symptoms you cannot explain, see Dr Auer today — the answers are just one visit away!

I went to see Dr. Auer after some pretty fairly significant injuries and a bicycle crash. At the time I was in significant pain and had serious mobility issues in my shoulder — initially barely able to lift it from my side. Over the course of a month, I saw significant improvement in motion and the pain had almost completely subsided.
Dr. Auer also gave me some basic physical therapy exercises to do to help improve range of motion. Over the course of two months, I’ve gone from having 10 — 20% mobility in the shoulder to around 90%. I’m back swimming again and able to do all my activities again and cannot say enough positive things about my experience with him and the practice.
Highly recommend his services if you have pain or are looking to work through an injury.

Dr. Auer is a true professional and a great guy. In just a few visits he was able to correct a pain in my foot that has been with me for about a year. The amazing thing that makes him unique as a chiropractor is he actually works on the MUSCLES! He will figure out which muscles are not working and help to facilitate them to «engage.» It’s simple, painless, and quick. And I literally feel taller and lighter on my feet after every visit.

In less than 4 months time, Dr. Auer has improved my health immensely. I came to Dr. Auer being generally healthy but with nagging complaints of low grade fatigue, some insomnia, daily afternoon headaches, and vague low grade digestion issues. Those symptoms are now totally gone. My regular general practitioner would offer advice like, «here’s a pamphlet about reducing stress», «try walking more often», «being a 40-​something mom of 2 kids is demanding», «if the sleep problem continues, maybe we can think about Ambien». What a difference compared with my visit to Dr. Auer. My first visit was what healthcare should look like: professional, comprehensive (not just focused on 1 or 2 issues), and relaxed, with time for coaching and questions. What a difference in approach and what a difference in results! I’m still a bit amazed that these problems were eradicated so quickly.
While this type of healthcare is not inexpensive, it’s been a great investment. (Seriously, solid deep sleep is SO worth it!) All along I felt like Dr. Auer recommended tests only where the results would materially change my treatment, and pointed out where my GP might be able to run tests through my insurance plan for less out of pocket expense for me. Supplements can be expensive, but they worked. I consider the cost a successful investment in my current quality of life and in my future health
I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Auer’s practice.

When I hurt my back lifting, Dr. Auer was instrumental in getting back on my feet quickly. I felt like there was good progress after each visit and real attention to my injury. He helped me with the early healing and then gave me some stretches to continue on my own. I appreciate not having to continue with the weekly visits that so many ‘other’ practitioners seem to suggest.
Overall a great experience.

Before I met Dr Auer, I had a severe allergic reaction to certain foods. I itched for hours and days, my fingers were tingling and my legs were restless. During my first visit, Dr Auer listened to me carefully and asked a lot of questions. I then learned that I am allergic to certain foods primarily wheat. Once I followed his treatment and recommendations consistently, all my problems went away. Although my health is in great form, I continue to see Dr Auer several times a year
Dr Auer is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He’s professional, courteous, friendly, warm, patient and attentive. His staff, Adam Ortiz, is also a wonderful person.
I’d strongly recommend Dr Auer to anyone who’s seeking alternative treatment for their health.

Definitely 5 Stars for Dr. Auer. Dr. Auer came highly recommended by a friend. She felt that Dr. Auer helped to prevent her from having surgery. She has recommended friends and family to him. After 6 months of her telling me that I should go, I made the decision that I would drive over an hour to see this Dr. I am forever grateful. His techniques far exceed any chiropractor that I have been to. The combined Chiropractic, Kinesiology and natural whole health healing is completely amazing. I am looking forward towards Dr. Auer helping me to heal from my injury. I have already referred friends and family too.

Dr Dan is a amazing at what he does. He knows exactly what your body needs .
He is always learning the latest techniques and methods so that his patients have the best health. I have referred many patients to him and they are all very happy and healthy !!
Thank you Dr Dan for being so wonderful

I found Dr. Auer on Unilocal and went to him based on the strong reviews posted. I’ve never seen a holistic doctor so was unsure about what to expect.
I came in to see him because I was having digestive and wrist inflammation issues. For the digestive issues, he prescribed some enzymes and other supplements and within a few weeks, I felt back to normal. I also had a food allergy test done and was surprised to learn that I’m allergic to soy, whey, and a few other foods that I consume a lot. After eliminating them from my diet, I at first felt a «bit off» but have since felt better and have lost some weight (nice bonus). My energy levels have improved, too.
The wrist issues were trickier, though, and it’s something that took more time to fix. I saw a physio and accupuncturist, in addition to Dr. Auer, so can’t say which had the greater effect. Dr. Auer provided cold laser therapy on it as well as chiropractic procedures. I am happy to say that my wrist is much better and I plan on keeping it that way through regular stretching.
Overall, I think Dr. Auer is very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. I am thankful that I did not need to see him due to serious health issues but in the event that I do, I would go back.
The only caveat, and this something I need to get used to being a recent transplant to the US is the higher cost of health care here. My insurance did not cover the bills since he’s out of network but at least it’s better than going to an in-​network doctor only to be given the practice of prescribing drugs and standard procedures (that adds up, too) that likely would not have helped. The rhetorical question is, is your health worth it?

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Auer’s practice but I will try!
I first came to see him because of lower back pain that was keeping me away from the gym. Not only did he help me address that, he improved my quality of life by more than I could have imagined.
First of all, he quickly realized my lower back problem was muscle-​related and as such, chiropractic work was not going to address it. Not to worry, he referred me to another chiropractor (Dr. Ly Ho in Los Gatos) who specializes in the painful yet extremely effective «Graston Technique» and my lower back is «back» to normal after about 8 weeks of treatment.
Where Dr. Auer really shined was in addressing other health problems I was having, including but not limited to poor sleep, slight depression, and gastrointestinal issues. We ordered a hormone panel and found out my testosterone levels were extremely low (I am 26 and had T-​levels of a 70 year old man!). Dr. Auer prescribed me several herbal supplements to combat my hormone imbalances, poor sleep and gastrointestinal problems.
One word: Hallelujah. I started feeling better right away and it’s only gotten better over time. I started sleeping well after nearly a year of sleepless nights, my mood and confidence are up and I’m back to a normal gym routine.
I highly recommend Dr. Auer to anyone needing chiropractor work or general health advice. He and his assistant Adam are extremely personable and I couldn’t be happier with their service!

I came to see Dr. Auer for my chronic fatigue, insomnia, allergies, immunity (or lack thereof) which had been gradually getting worse since I hit my mid-20’s. Considering that I am a relatively young adult, it made no sense to be feeling horrible every day. I live a relatively healthy lifestyle in terms of diet (no processed foods, organic/​free range foods) and exercise (endurance running).
My MD just continued to prescribe me drugs like Ambien instead of trying to find the root of the problem. (I really don’t like taking toxic prescription medicines with awful side effects.) Dr. Auer spent a good amount of time going over every single health problem I’ve had in my life (he knows more about my health than any doctor I’ve seen!) He is detail-​oriented, exceptionally educated in biochemistry/​nutrition, and all things health-​related.
Using a combination of new diet/​nutrition, blood work, muscle testing, kinesiology, adjustments, and holistic supplements, he has been able to address my health issues almost immediately. Turns out I had severe intolerance to gluten, cow’s milk, eggs, etc. which explained my chronic fatigue, sleeping issues, and allergies all year-​round.
It has been about 2+ months and I am feeling a million times better than ever before. I had almost forgotten what it was like to have a normal level of energy, and I am also not taking any prescription meds. My friends that met me when I was always fatigued, now wonder why I am «hyper» all the time. This new energy is refreshing, and I am very thankful for all Dr. Auer has done for my health and new lifestyle. Also, his FOH, Adam, is super cool, accommodating, very responsive, and just a good person.
I highly recommend Dr. Auer! You won’t regret it.

I came to see Dr. Auer because I felt I was at a plateau in my health. I am a health coach and live an exceptionally healthy lifestyle, but I was still getting allergy symptoms and skin irritations.
I found all the wonderful reviews on Unilocal and made an appointment. Adam, his office manager, was really nice and accommodating for my first visit.
Dr. Auer uses muscle testing and applied kinesiology to determine your course of treatment. I will have to say that I am so enlightened by my visits with the knowledge that he shares. He is very down to earth and breaks it down to you with what is going on in your body.
For most, the first few visits may seem kind of pricey, but that’s because you have to do initial blood work and labs. However, I see it as investing in your health which will last you a lifetime.
Since seeing Dr. Auer, I can feel my health improving and I’m definitely on the road to optimal health.
