Vincent A Punturere, DC

this man is SO! GOOD!
i had never been to a chiro and i was eh… a bit freaked out to be honest before seeing him. but my sister referred him and i tend to trust her with all things health related and as usual, she sent me to the best of the best.
the first time i’d seen him, i’d thrown out my back to the point where i couldn’t even stand straight without being in debilitating pain, and he sorted me out. his style is relaxed and gentle and he answered my many questions with total patience. he’s super easy to talk to and truly knows his stuff. i like that he used to be an athlete and a dancer, so his understanding of the body is from this unique perspective, and through the lens of now being a doctor.
my husband travels quite a bit and his body goes through insane physical stress. usually one tune up from dr. punturere sets him straight and gives immediate relief.
as for me, i’d thrown my back out AGAIN, then subsequently had some issues with my knee (seriously, i felt like my body was falling apart at one point), and guess what the culprit was? FLIP-​FLOPS! *sigh*, such a california affliction. he broke down how the lack of support affected my body not just physically but neurologically… i won’t nerd out here but i’ll just say his explanation blew my mind. so i bought a pair of birkenstocks (doc’s orders), and i haven’t had an issue with my back or knee, since.
his goal with his clients seems to be about finding simple and natural alternatives to achieve whole health. i truly can’t imagine going to anyone else.

I am and Esthetician and Bodyworker. I use my hands more than the average person. My hands are my livelihood! I started experiencing numbness in my right hand while I was at work and soon afterward my left hand was affected. It got progressively worse to the point that I would be awakened at night with numbness and pain in both arms that took forever to go away. I was not a happy camper! I have friends who had seen Dr. Punturere and sang his praises so I decided to see him as well. I felt so much better after the first visit. He is very thorough and explained everything to me. Now I have been to other chiropractors before and what set Dr. Punturere apart for me were the exercises that he gave me. The exercises have been easy to incorporate into my daily life. I am working towards resolving the problem instead of just addressing the symptoms. The exercises have made a huge difference in my recovery! I am very happy to make Dr. Punturere a part of my health maintenance team!

I have been seeing Dr. Punturere for about 10 years. He is AMAZING!!! He has really strong, but sensitive hands so he knows what is going on in your body and knows how to fix it. I completely trust him and he always helps me when I’m hurting. Besides being a fantastic chiropractor, he is a wonderful person. He is easy to talk to, really listens to what you are experiencing and is gentle with patients who are not so confident with chiropractic. I’ve sent quite a few of my massage clients to him over the years and all of them have raved about him after their visit. He also worked on me throughout both of my pregnancies and I felt very safe during my adjustments, so I have no hesitation in recommending him for prenatal chiropractic work.

Dr. Punturere is bar none the best chiropractor I have ever gone to (I am a dancer/​dance instructor so have had my fair share of experiences with various forms of physical therapy and treatment). His knowledge of body structure, muscle relationships and kinesiology is profound and shows in his work. The first time I went I felt a huge difference right away in my posture and alignment, and more specifically a nasty knee tweak that I came in for disappeared and did not come back. I go regularly to maintain things, and if something nasty comes up (my back recently went out when I went to pick something up), I know I will get relief right away. Dr. Punturere listens to what you tell him, which is not always the case. His website is informative, clear and really representative of his office. I have referred several friends to Dr. Punturere and they all have had good experiences too.

As soon as I was brought into doctor Punturere’s office, I felt taken care of. He gave me a thorough 35 minutes of consultation to really find out what was going on with my health, my posture and the overall state of my life. After giving me an adjustment that stayed fresh in my tissue for at least a week, he walked me through some life style changes that would contribute toward my sustaining good posture. I am really looking forward to our next appointment.

Dr. Vincent rocks! He’s one of the sweetest people ever, caring and professional, and really makes you feel at ease. He also makes you feel like he’s really there to help you find the best solution to your problem and improve your overall health long-​term. I was recommended to him by a long-​time patient who called him «a true healer,» and I completely agree — even though I’ve moved pretty far away from him now I’ll still travel to see him, because I know I’ll feel better fast. Go see him — you’ll soon be a devoted patient!

I recently threw out my back when I moved apartments a couple of months ago. It was coming — I knew from yoga that I had posture issues and my left lower back had been weak for awhile. The move just sent things over the edge.
I hadn’t been to a chiropractor since I was a kid, and looking back, the guy that treated me then was a total hack. I hadn’t trusted a chiropractor since then, but I had run out of options for my back, and a good friend recommended Puntere.
He has been fantastic. His motto: «To get you to not come in to see me as soon as possible.» In addition to treatment, he gave me exercises and stretches to do at home to ensure that I won’t be returning any time soon. I liked this emphasis on permanent solutions, as opposed to immediately-​feel-​better-​now-​pay-​to-​get-​that-​again treatment.
Check out his website, as at the time I started there was a coupon available for a free first time examination.
