Pacifica Chiropractic

the care with this doctor was fine, it was his unprofessional ism of his staff and himself. And there very unorthodox and unorganized, and down right demeaning behavior. I started therapy due to car accident. I have been going back in forth with the cat insurances to pay. I ended up billing my own insurance to cover cost. I asked dr Z and his staff to send me copy of bills etc. And every time i would call, know one knew anything about my previous attempts to them. I went into Dr.‘s per the receptionist and when I did arrive I was «berated» in front other customers (believe his name was Joshua who was sitting in waitng room) by Dr. Z and his receptionist Jeanie. Over a copay, and told me that «I showed up at a very inconvenient time» (when I was asked to come in by his receptionist) He then seemed very confused as to my treatment and that my insurance has paid them. It seems that he is very stressed out and needs more help at his office very disappointing to be treated like a 3^rd rate citizen, when you are trying to take care of your medical bills and recover from an injury. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. Unless you like to be treated poorly by a business. There are much better chiropractic offices around the bay.

Doctor Z has always been awesome especially Medicare has this person in their insurance which is great. Does this adjustment quick and easy. Thanks Doc

Dr. Z is the best. I first went to a chiropractor a few years ago and had an awful experience so I was pretty hesitant to try it again. After some nudging from my wife, I decided to see Dr. Z for my chronic back pain. He listened to my concerns from my previous chiropractic experience and respects the areas that I am uncomfortable adjusting (neck). I would recommend Dr. Z to anyone who is uncomfortable with chiropractic care because he truly listens to his patients.

I’ve been scared to try chiropractic care for years, even though I know I have needed it. Finally, after numerous massage therapists advised me to try it, I found out my kaiser insurance covers it. So, I checked out a few places they approved and decided on this place, thanks to great reviews! Those reviews were not wrong either! Dr Z is really easy going and the whole process wasn’t scary at all. First appointment was long, and I appreciate the time he took with me. Everything was explained so that I understood what was going to happen with each step. The adjustment was not painful at all! The only pain I ever felt was when he was checking range of motion, and of course, that’s why I was there. I’m looking forward to feeling better and better each time!!!

This is a review of Dr. Zollinger. We both decided to give it a try after reading some of these reviews and I must say that we weren’t disappointed. Dr. Zollinger is very caring, attentive and professional. This is nothing like your usual office visit, as he will actually spend time with you when you’ll be the only one he’s attending to during your visit. So neck problem is under control and back is doing better, too (after just one session! — should have probably kept at it but I’m not very good at at it, as soon as I get my sleep back LOL!) Will definitely call him again before anything else, if I get any more of this back trouble. Recommended to those seeking help and relief!

Let me start by saying I was a very skeptical when it came to seeing a chiropractor for my back issues. I have been dealing with back pain for over 13 years and for the past 2 years have been in severe pain, with the occasional time off work. Every doctor I have been to has said I needed surgery and to medicate myself with pain killers and muscle relaxers. After talking to Matt W who also wrote an excellent review, I decided it was time to try something new… and boy am I glad I did.
Dr. Z is amazing! After one adjustments I am feeling like myself again! I am not having that sharp pain that keeps me from doing the things I love like playing with my kids, working, and of course sleeping more than a few hours at a time like I have been the last couple of years. I will most definitely continue to see Dr. Z for all my back issues from now on and look forward to a life pain free!
So take it from someone who was a skeptic! Even if you think you might have something wrong with your back or are just a little stiff here and there go see Dr. Z!!! You won’t regret!

Honestly, I originally choose this spot for chiropractic care due to the major convenience factors that 1) they are 5 minutes from my house, 2) next to my gym and 3) take my insurance.
But I couldn’t be more happy with the gentle and focused care that Dr. Zollinger and his wonderful desk staff has provided to me over the past few months. Overall my pain has decreased, I am more aware of how to make my body comfortable and be supported to sleep well, I am more flexible and I feel much happier now.
I enjoy and look forward to visits to the office. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived.
Also, if you are having an emergency outside of business hours the Doctors cell number is available on the main outgoing message. He makes himself available to help if you need that. That is an awesome commitment to excellence in care of patients. He is an awesome Dr.

Dr Z is probably one of the best Chiropractor out there. He really cares about his patients. Before I met Dr Z. I was under care with Dr. Gregory Cameron in BUrlingame and boy oh boy. What a big different, both are major in chiropractics but Dr z seem to be much more passionate/​knowledge about his job than the Dr Cameron. Cameron seem to just want to collect my insurance money than really taking care of my well being. I’m just so glad that I change my Dr. Wait until you meet Carrie the massage therapist. She has the hands of a goddess. She’s not just any ordinary massage therapist. You have to go see her in order to know. She has the warmest hand ever@!

My dad is a chiropractor who lives in Southern California, I have grown up getting adjustments my whole life some better than others… I got out of my car yesterday and a rib popped out of place. I was in horrible pain, I could barely breathe without it hurting me… I called Dr Z… he got me in and out the next morning…3 days before Christmas even! I have been adjusted by a lot of chiropractors in my life… honestly; Dr Z did a fabulous job! My pain has already eased, he talked me thru the whole thing. I would recommend Pacifica Chiropractic and Dr Zollinger to anyone who is experiencing any kind of back or neck discomfort. The office was clean and nice, easily accesible and his staff was really friendly. Thank you again Dr Z! Great job.

So I have gone to Dr. Z on and off for about 20 years, so went to his office old office on Crespi Dr. and his new one on Manor Dr. I have to disclose that he and my husband are very good friends, however, I will honestly tell you my experience. Since we are friends, he treats me as such when he sees me, so I can’t tell you about how I would view his interaction if I didn’t know him, and was just a new patient.
However, I can tell you that his chiropractic treatment has helped me and my husband tremendously over the years. I was in a car accident about 25 years ago, and ran over a dead cow on highway 5 at midnight going about 70 mph with no seatbelt in a small car. Being young and unexperienced, I thought I was fine until a month or so later, I started losing the feeling in my left hand. After initial chiropractic treatment elsewhere since I didn’t know Dr. Z at the time, the feeling did come back to my hand. However, the effects are long lasting, and there are times when my neck completely goes out, and Dr. Z has always been there to the rescue for the last 20 years. After being rear-​ended this summer, again thinking I was fine for a day or two, the third day my low back was hurting so bad it was affecting work. So off to Dr. Z I went and he treated my back, shoulder, and knee (as I had jammed my whole right side in the accident). I am pretty well stable once again thanks to Dr. Z.
My husband got rear-​ended while he was last in line in a traffic jam on the SM Bridge about 8 years ago. He was hit by a suburban going 40 MPH, and shoved 15 feet into a vehicle in front of him. His car was totaled and we felt lucky that he was still here. However, the damage to his back, neck and leg was pretty painful. Dr. Z treated him and got him to the point where he was pain free for the most part. He still gets problems with his back/​shoulder if he does something too streneous but back to Dr. Z he goes, and the treatment/​exercises Dr. Z gives him gets him back to normal.
I have arthritis and no cartilage left in my knees, and his combination of natural meds/​supplements have done more for my knees than any surgery has done so far!
So although he may not be your «typical» MD type, his treatment has helped my husband and I over the years.

I liked this chiro at first but time went by & I didn’t really feel better. The neck adjustments aren’t done effectively enough for my needs. I did switch doctors, unfortunately for me they are located in the same «office space» and that made it uncomfortable for me. Esp when he saw me & then called and left me a curt voice mail asking me if he should retire my chart. I thought that the tone and manner he did this in was pretty unprofessional.

This is Dr Zollinger’s new location apparantely, as he is listed on Unilocal but under his old address … I wanted to add this, so you can find him as he is a great Chriopractor and I absolutely recommend him.
After having gone to the same Chriopractor in Redding for over 20 years, even though I moved to the Bay Area over 10 years ago (I obviously was not able to go regularly!), I finally bit the bullet and tried a chriopractor close to home and was so happy to find Dr. Z! I always feel much better after a visit.
