Hwang Family Chiropractic

My friend introduced me Dr. Hwang after I got a car accident. Dr. Hwang gave me a thorough examination of my neck with his amazing equipment. He is very helpful, professional, and patient. I have a great experience here. Million thanks to Dr. Hwang!

Dr. Hwang is one of the only doctors I trust wholeheartedly. He looks at the body as a whole, and doesn’t want to get you in and out of the office as quick as possible. He takes the time to ask all the right bio-​psycho-​social questions to really figure out the cause of your pain and discomfort. I have been seeing Dr. Hwang for 3 years and have not been let down. I first came in 3 years ago with bad migraine headaches almost bi-​weekly. After consistent treatment, my migraines are maybe once every 5 months.
His assistant Claudine is so polite and professional — really on top of her job. She makes sure to have Dr. Hwang call you, or will personally call you back if you call with any questions. She makes the experience of going there that much better.
I recently went to Kaiser to figure out why my skin was UNBELIEVABLY itchy. They looked at me for maybe 3.5 minutes, and told me I have dry skin — take cold showers and use Cetaphyl and Eucerin. I assured the doctor there was something more serious going on, maybe we could run some tests? She assured me, cold showers. Usually I am not one to throw anyone under the bus like this — but wow, if I had listened to Kaiser, my body would be in a very bad state right now.
After trying cold showers for a week — I decided to call up Dr. Hwang and ask about an allergy test. He has this amazing homeopathic allergy tester that works wonders. I made an appointment with them and they got me in asap when I told them my symptoms. He hooked me up to the allergy tester, and about ten minutes later we found the sure cause of my itching — an overgrowth of Candida /​leaky gut. He knew all the steps to help with with this problem, and was very supportive. I bought all the supplements needed, and am feeling MUCH BETTER. These things take a lot of time to fully heal — so I know I have some time to go. But wow, three months ago I had to wear socks on my hands at night to stop the itching. Now I sleep like a baby, and am so much more optimistic about my healing process. I could not have done this without Dr. Hwang AND Claudine. Claudine made it possible for me to come in three times a week, making time for me in the schedule. Even when I would call last minute, she would try her best to get me in (and I of course fully understood when it wasn’t possible on such short notice and with my time restrictions with work). When I would come in, I would often be pretty down because the condition was driving me a little crazy. But they lifted my spirits. Dr. Hwang always has new information that he is more than willing to share and he just gets so excited to learn new things. Which is what I want in my doctor — someone who is constantly up to date with the latest knowledge and technology. His heart is in the right place, and I am so grateful for his help.
The world needs more people like Dr. Hwang and Claudine.

I get to know Dr Hwang from a recent car accident. I found him through Unilocal and he is the best doctor that I haven ever seen. There is nothing more important than treating your patient like your friend and listen to their real needs. After 3 month of treatment, I am feeling much better. Thanks Dr Hwang and the lovely assistant Claudine.

I love Dr Hwang and his assistant Claudine! They are awesome and I am so glad a random Unilocal search will lead me to meet two wonderful persons and a great comfortable treatment experience.
Dr Hwang is probably the most informative doctor I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s not fair to just label him as a chiropractor. He is expert in many other medical fields. During my treatment, He does not only help me with my pains but also care about my overall wellness as well as my family’s. I’ve learnt a lot about how to live a healthy life from him and he is patient to answer any questions I have, literally any kind of questions. Even those none treatment related, as long as he can help, he is always humble and willing to find out the answers for me.
I love his personality too! He is always positive and energetic which leaves good influence on me. His assistant Claudine is very sweet. She is considerate and always thinks from patients perspectives. She even prepared flowers for my mother in law on Mother’s Day!
I just finished my current treatment with dr Hwang yday. He proudly graduated me and it’s a little sad that I am not gonna see him next week. :P
I will definitely recommend dr Hwang to my family and friends if they need help with their spine, back, and other health problems.

A few months ago I was rear-​ended in my 3-​month old Prius during traffic on the freeway. I am still in my 20s and didn’t think I could get back problems this early. I was searching for chiropractors on Unilocal and I stumbled over Dr. Hwang’s practice. First off, I am a pretty OCD person. The moment I stepped into Dr. Hwang’s office I had a sense I was at the right place. The practice is very clean and has a soothing aura that makes you feel very comfortable. My first examination was the assessment. Although Dr. Hwang is an extremely knowledgeable person, he is very patient and will take the time to answer any of your questions (no matter how ridiculous they might be). Another great plus about this practice is that the technology Dr. Hwang uses is the most up-​to-​date technology. He takes his time to learn and and educate himself about the latest technology that is most beneficial for his patients. I work in the medical device industry and I can’t emphasize how refreshing it is to meet someone that understands the value of evolving medical technology. Back to my back pains, I have been to many sessions every since my accident and I feel like I am back to my old self again. Not only did Dr. Hwang help me with my back injury from the accident, he also discovered that I had a pinched nerve in my lower back. This pinched nerve was the reason why I went to the restroom frequently. All my life I never understood why and it would be a huge problem especially waking up 2 times a night. Because of Dr. Hwang, I am now more aware of what I need to do prevent my pinched nerve from getting worse. Such a great chiropractor that truly cares for his patients and always has the best stories to tell while getting you through your sessions. I really don’t understand the negative reviews on here. Make sure you understand and educate yourself before signing up for any type of treatment plan.
Yes, Dr. Hwang has many patients and he uses a portion of his week to get himself training and have his office manager, Claudine (super sweet by the way!), training. And by training I mean to educate themselves more in the field to keep their knowledge current. Be patient with the scheduling people! They do their best to accommodate people’s schedule.
Great practice, great people, great results!

I’ve been playing basketball for over 13 years, and getting injured is no surprise for me. During summer 2014, I felt an unusual pain in my back and hip after basketball practice, so my mom recommended me to go to Dr. Hwang’s office. After figuring out my condition, I immediately went through with treatment because I wanted to get better before my season comes up again in the winter.
The treatment I went through was with the Zen Pro, Spine Med, and Dr. Hwang’s adjustments. For the first three months, I was being doubtful about going to a chiropractor because I felt a little better, but no completely. My season was approaching, and I was scared that my body wasn’t prepare to play yet. Dr. Hwang understood my situation, and allowed me to play little and progressively more in the games, so I can slowly ease into the motions of playing again. I still went through treatment during my season, and I felt a lot better when my treatment session was coming to an end.
From my busy schedule of going to school, work, and basketball, Claudine is always bound to find the perfect schedule that works for me. Also, whenever I feel pain or something uncomfortable, I call Claudine, and she always find the time to squeeze me into an appointment to deal with the problem. Since the office stays open pretty late and also on Saturdays, it was really convenient for me to find time to go get treatment.
Dr. Hwang has given me a lot of information and explanations on how my body works and what’s causing the problem. He is very understanding about my situation because whenever I’m feeling pain, I email him, and he gets back to me in less than half a day with solution. Also, he gave me a few phone calls to check up on me to see how I was doing.
Overall, my experience has been amazing because every time I walk in to Dr. Hwang’s office, I always felt so welcome, and during the whole treatment, I felt so relaxed. I would definitely recommend this place to whoever is suffering from an injury because they’ll most definitely take care of you!

I became a patient at Dr. Hwang’s after being in a car accident. Dr. Hwang is not only extremely knowledgeable, but was also very helpful in catering to my specific needs. I would sometimes get headaches or my muscles would tense up to the point where it was bothering me. No matter what the issue was Dr. Hwang was able to provide me with the necessary solution and cure me of whatever was troubling me internally. Not only will he explain what he is doing, Dr. Hwang will also explain the reasoning behind his actions, and how it benefits you. My overall experience here was splendid, and I would recommend anyone in need of their services to come here.

I have been going to Dr. Hwang for about 3 months and counting. All i can say is Dr. Hwang is the best Doctor i have ever met. He always comes into the room with a huge smile and knows my name right away. Unlike other doctors he remembers our last visits, all the stories I’ve told him and all my previous problems.
Dr.Hwang will explain any problems that you are having and then explain them in the easiest way possible if your confused with the terms.
This was my actual very first time going to a Chiropractor and what a great place to go to other than here. Right when you walk in its very clean and open. There is a mini water fall and relaxing music. As you wait your also offered water.
The staff there is very welcoming because they always ask hows your day been going and asking about what you last talked about on your last visit.
I actually love Dr. Hwang and wish I was related to him so that i would able to see him all the time. His hands are just magical, every time i tell him about a problem going on big or small he fixes it with no problem.
Dr.Hwang has given me a new perspective on life. At the end of our sessions we always have our talks about life and the future. I know that Dr. Hwang was born and placed here to help other people not only physically but mentally as well.

I’ll use a simile to compare my experience:
It’s like going to the meat market to pick up some bacon and, when you get there, the bacon doesn’t have a price tag on it. You ask the butcher about the bacon and he proceeds to try and sell you an entire farm.

I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to cancel an appointment here? I first called to find out the rates, or at least to get an average price or a range so that I know what to expect. Claudine got my personal information (and my husband’s) and squeezed us in for an appointment the next day which is a Saturday. After 5 minutes, I still couldn’t get a range of what I’d be expected to pay because «it all depends on your condition and treatment». Also, they only accept cash and check.
After discussing with my husband, we decided that we’d be using our HSA card and so I called them back to cancel the appointment to look elsewhere. I was first probed by Claudine why I want to cancel, and was then reluctantly given an average price which is almost double that of another highly rated chiropractor in Milpitas. They can also suddenly work something out if I want to use the HSA credit card. Then I was put on hold, and was greeted by Dr. Hwang. Another round of probing, this time plus «lecturing» as to why he doesn’t want to give a price, it all depends on the treatment, that they don’t simply treat you, also depends on whether you’re the patient for him and he the doctor for you, yada yada yada.
I have no doubt that Dr. Hwang may be a good chiropractor, but I just don’t get the way that he and his staff treat new patients who want to cancel an appointment. Healthcare is not cheap here and I as a consumer need to know if this is something that I can fork out comfortably. This is also the first time that I find it hard to get an estimate and to cancel an appointment at any place.

I was first introduced to Dr. Hwang by my fiancé and his family. All of his family memeber and himself had been under the care of Dr. Hwang. Very nice and clean office. friendly staff… applause to Claudine and April!!! Reason I was under Dr. Hwang’s care is due to that I was rear ended in a car accident. I met Dr. Hwang the very next day of the accident and he had accomodated me due to the urgency of getting a check up to make sure I was ok or not. I was taken to do x-​rays very quickly and Dr. Hwang explained to me and my fiancé’s what are my conditons and what are the treatment plans for me. Clear and simple… and he will let you know how much the cost and see if you want to go ahead with the treatment. I had a very bad sinus problem, but after a few treatment, my sinus had clearly improved. I have better posture according to my fiancé. My overall health has improved. I had occassional lower back pain but it has also been lessen. I would recommend if anyone seeking to improve their health, go have a consultation with Dr. Hwang. He is knowledgable on his practice and will get to the root of your health problems. So kudos to Dr. Hwang, Claudine and April!!! I’ve been pleased with my time spent at Dr. Hwang’s office.

I was very fortunate to have been a patient at Dr. Hwang’s. Not only did he help me physically, but also mentally. I recently went to see Dr. Hwang after a car accident and I initially came in with doubts about seeing a chriopractor. Little did I realize, I made the perfect decision that would change my perspective in life. Coming into his office I was an anxious, stiff neck, fatigued person. Leaving his office, I was a content calm and healthy individual. Dr. Hwang is an extremely knowledgeable doctor that will answer any questions you have and offer his insight. He motivated me to really value my health and take care of my mind and body. I highly recommend Dr. Hwang and his warm and welcoming office, they were definitely a gem to find.

Dr. Hwang is a fantastic doctor. I’ve been coming here for years and can honestly say he’s helped my headaches go away and helped me feel «more alive». I’ve recently have been getting treatment after getting into a car accident. Dr. Hwang is extremely knowledge and probably knows more about internal medicine than your internal medicine M.D. If you’re looking for a great chiropractor that’s SUPER helpful, nice, knowledgable, and willing to go the extra mile to treat his patients, Dr. Hwang is the doctor for you.

I first went to see Dr. Hwang after being in a car accident. I had no previous experience with chiropractors before seeing him and I was immediately afraid of what I would learn about my spine. X-​rays indicated that I had scoliosis. Though I had been and continue seeing him for the car accident pain, Dr. Hwang provided a lot of information on how to help my spine and scoliosis with swimming and diet. While providing me great adjustments he takes the time to indulge me in new beneficial information to keep me healthy. The office is relaxing and a lot of positive energy comes from the staff including Claudine who manages the front desk. If you’re in need of a chiropractor, I highly recommend Dr. Hwang.

I grew up playing sports and have injuries all over for as long as I can remember. The one that really stood out was the pain in my shoulder. I have always dealt with a stinging/​tingling feeling on the left side of my neck and shoulder blade. After many years I decided to finally do something about it. I visited my doctor at kaiser, who made no eye contact, and told me to ice it for a week. When that didn’t work, a friend of mine reccomended I see Dr. Hwang. We took x-​rays and he found the problem and determined that he could help me. After 3 months of treatment I felt like I had a brand new body. I had been dealing with the problem for so long that I couldnt remember what life was like without the pain. Dr. Hwang and his staff genuinely care about their patients and their work, and he will not suggest something that he is not positive will work. He is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. People travel from all over the world to be treated by Dr. Hwang because he is the best at what he does.

I have known Dr Hwang since I was in 2006 and my family members still visit him for back bone or other problems. Dr. Hwang is a very professional doctor; he is friendly and nice to very single clients he has met.
Being one of his longest clients, I can tell his passion and mission on this field. He wants to help and change peoples’ life– in a better and healthier way.
I first met Dr Hwang when I hurt my ankle in a very special way during basket ball practice. I went to Traditional Chinese Medicine for help and the doctor did not find out what was the problem. So my mom introduced me to Dr Hwang. Dr Hwang spent couple weeks to heal my ankle and I can play basket ball again.
Later on, he found out my back bone problem when I told him about my pain during sleep. He also reduced the pain on my hand that I got after being hit by a car in 1997; Couple years later I got a car accident and he healed my neck. My work hurt my hand bones a lot and Dr Hwang healed them all too.
When I notices that Dr Hwang moved to South Bay, I tried to found a Doctor to replace him so I do not need to drive all the way to Milpitas, yet I failed to found someone else who is better than he does. I still drive all the way to South Bay even I live in SF.
I will always say Dr Hwang is one of the best in Bay Area. :)

What else is there to say about Hwang Family Chiropractic? The facility is extremely clean, professional… hi-​tech… with tons of space and PRIVACY! I stress privacy because I have been to other chiropractic offices that had shorter walls in which you can hear pretty much everything a doctor is telling the other patient… which pretty much throws any patient privacy clause out the window! In other words… the privacy at some other chiropractic offices were equivalent to that of a public restroom, at best!
Lets move on to the staff! They are FRICKIN AWESOME! Extremely friendly and helpful… especially that Brittany gal! Brittany was very welcoming from the time I first called when in amazing pain, to when I crawled through the door in even worse pain!
But the main reason this office is so great (facility and staff, wise) is Dr. Hwang! He is responsible for the floor plan… the personnel, and he is the PULSE of his office! And that is only speaking from a business standpoint!
Regarding Dr. Hwang as a physician… he is AS GOOD AS IT GETS!
I literally crawled into his office with lower back pain ranging between 7−8… sometimes getting to 9 if not 10 on the pain scale! It was extremely difficult to walk… and extremely painful to get in and out of my car!
The first thing we did was have a brief consultation! Next phase was take x-​rays! After that, we sat down in a different, yet private and high tech consultation room to discuss the x-​rays and treatment. The news was pretty depressing! Luckily, surgery was not an option at that point, although it was stressed that I may be a candidate for surgery in the near future unless I get treatment!
The thing I really appreciated is that he didn’t try to «sell» me on a treatment plan at that time! He educated me… treated me a couple times to relieve my pain so that I can be more mobile for my birthday weekend… and then said to schedule an appointment the following week so that we can discuss what options are available.
The bottom line about Dr. Hwang is that he is well balanced. He is a friend, first, and a physician next… all with the premise to never let personal feelings get in the way of his role as a physician! He is very straight forward, answers questions, and never leaves things blurred, but does so in a way that you are comfortable and trusting of him!
Physician reviews are difficult to do! You never want to be sick or hurt to see a doctor! But for the sake of this review… if there was a chiropractic physician I would always go to, it would be Dr. Hwang!
And for the record… I was a walk-​in patient! No relation to this facility, Dr. Hwang, or any staff members!

Before seeing Dr. Hwang I had severe ankle pain due to some injuries that occurred while I was playing basketball. I’ve had this problem for about five years and this pain made it fairly difficult for me to walk, drive and even sleep throughout the night. Medicine was never an option for me so I tried acupuncture and resting but neither helped with the pain. I was referred to Hwang Family Chiropractic and after receiving care I was able to start driving and walking by myself in no time. A few weeks later I no longer had severe pain and was able to sleep through the night. After completing treatment my lifestyle has become healthier and happier. I feel chiropractic care has had a tremendous impact on my lifestyle. After seeing Dr. Hwang he has taught me certain things I never expected to learn such as how to improve my lifestyle and keep me healthy. I enjoyed the friendly environment Wellness Evolution has provided for me. I would certainly recommend Hwang Family Chiropractic Care to others since it has improved my lifestyle, so others can benefit from it as well.

Dr. Hwang’s office is AMAZING! Not only is the atmosphere soothing but the staff is very helpful. Dr. Hwang is completely honest and willing to answer any questions. The main thing that really makes Dr. Hwang stand apart from other doctors is that is that he explains everything in deep detail. After he takes X-​rays and performs the Neurospinal function index he makes sure to share the results and the meaning of the results in deep detail. As for the X-​rays he even pulls up the digital file and explains all of the markings he has highlighted.
I have entrusted Dr. Hwang for the last year and a half, and he has been an amazing help especially with my jaw, headaches, back, and hips. Even after my car accident last year when I was very sore and struggling with a stiff neck from whiplash, he was very knowledgeable and taught me some techniques to use at home which was really helpful. I would recommend Dr. Hwang to any and everyone.

During highschool in 2004, I joined a cheerleading squad, when my team mate fell on top of me. I realized ever since that day, my back was injured. I had to face back pain for seven years. I went to several therapists, but they could not cure my back. The pain blocked me from doing several things in my life. I did not dare to lift heavy objects. Until August 2011, my friend offered me to Doctor Hwang Chiropractic. Thank you to Doctor Hwang for your willingness, commitment, and patience to find the solution to cure my back injury. I am really thankful and glad I have an opportunity to meet Doctor Hwang.
