Stellar Chiropractic

So far I have had two appointments and both times it has been fantastic! Dr Stern is very knowledgeable, personable, willing to explain what he is doing and why the issue may have occurred. He has a small office of I believe just himself but seems to treat his patients with genuine and individual care. Also his costs per visit are extremely reasonable considering the all he does. I will definitely continue to see him if I can and recommend him to anyone with issues.

Dr. Stern is completely amazing. I currently am a NPC women’s physique athlete and started having issues when it came to flexing. I didn’t know what I was going to do because I had a competition coming up. Someone suggested I go to a chiropractor aka Dr. Stern, who has back ground in athletes to see if it could help. With in two weeks of seeing him flexing stated to get easier and easier and my training became less and less painful in my joints. I am happy to report I won my competiton and will continue to go see him on a regular basis because I will be competing for my pro card!

SO so so very sorry to see Dr. Stern leave the Bay Area. I’m sure those who meet him in his new home will be as lucky as me. He is really missed. He is efficient, friendly and thorough. Viva Dr. Stern!
R E C O M M E N D E D!

*CLOSED*
I still believe Dr. Stern of Stellar Chiropractic was the best, I mean THE BEST chiropractors I’ve ever met.
His knowledge, experience, technique, rate and most importantly the friendly personality is so hard to find elsewhere.
Unfortunately, Dr. Stern has decided to move to east coast (*I think he mentioned he’s moving in early September so I’m sure he’s already relocated): to be close to his mother and to comfort his wife in more family friendly environment.
He has referred me to another chiropractor place before he moved… but seriously… it will be SUPER HARD to find as good chiropractor as Dr. Stern is… *sigh*

so… chiropractics used to scare the shit out of me. that was until i came to dr. stern. he’s a silly dude, loves to chat and does GREAT work. nothing abrupt or scary, always on time and super flexible. i look forward to getting straightened out every month!

Bottom line is that Dr. Stern is excellent and I would highly recommend him.
It’s not just about your back but he can fix most any pain issues.

Reviews have pointed me here… I keep getting voice mail though!

Dr. Stern is a miracle worker!

I have been a patient of Dr. Stern for the past two years and must say that his services can be addicting (well only if you like being in alignment, feeling better, looking better, sleeping better, etc)! I have referred many of my friends to Dr. Stern (even some of the «non-believer’s» in Chiropractic treatment…), and he has successfully made believer’s out of every single one of them! My only real fear is that Dr. Stern’s practice will get so big that he won’t be able to fit my once a month adjustment into his schedule!

Dr Stern is the best Chiropractor I’ve ever had in my 30+ years of going to chiropractors. He’s concerned for his patients health, he listens and he’s very affordable. He not only treats me, he treats my sister, mom, dad and Grandma. He’s simply the best!

I’ve actually been seeing Dr. Stern since late 2007-​early 2008, which says a lot about my opinion of Dr. Stern:-) Every one I have referred to him has also loved him, and they’ve subsequently referred people they know to him. He is friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and incredibly capable. All the adjustments are appropriate, he’s professional, and any question you have, he will patiently explain the answer. He’s also very enthusiastic and upbeat. Dr. Stern has always returns my appointment requests promptly if I’ve had to leave a voice message.
He’s also the only Chiro I’ve been to that I fully trust.

I was referred to Stellar by my personal trainer so I trusted the recommendation despite never having been to a chiro before and hearing mixed things about them.
I arrived and got some good info on vitamins (helpfully split into «all recommended» and «most important») and had my body/​joints analysed.
Anyways, we got to actually adjusting my joints and I have to say it was weird but awesome. It felt like something might snap or break, but after he was done, the muscles around the joint would always be less tense and I’d have greater strength and range of motion. It was pretty awesome. My neck felt like an owl, I could swivel more than 100 degrees in both directions, something sometimes hard for me.
Any remaining worries about this were negated by the great price: $ 40 for first visit and $ 20 for followups. He said every 2 weeks to start and then monthly and I worried about signing up for new monthly expense, but the truth is my body improves with each visit and $ 20 is not much per month to ward off body issues associated with long-​term tension and joint pain.
So I highly recommend Stellar to my friends and now to you, Unilocal community.

Dr. Stern is a great guy offering great service. No BS. he is honest, straightforward, helpful, enthusiastic, funny, and affordable. And he will get you on track for a healthy and happy body.
He’s not in it for the money, and he keeps his expenses low (no dealing with insurance carriers). He charges only $ 20 per visit because he enjoys helping people.

I was referred to Dr. Stern by my masseuse. I hadn’t been to a chiropractor in over 10 years, and I wasn’t sure what to expect.
I was pleasantly surprised to meet Dr. Stern. The first visit was an hour long and consisted of a lot of education about my body, my posture, my current physical state, seeing which muscles and bones were involved in my pain/​problems, etc. When I left, I felt completely confident that I was receiving the proper chiropractic care and education from Dr. Stern. He has more than 20 years of experience, and he truly cares about his patients receiving the care they need and allowing the body to heal. He’s not in it to get rich!
I’ve had my second visit (only 30 mins. long) and will go for another soon. Dr. Stern has helped to release my chronic neck, shoulder, and scapula pain that I’ve carried around for years. I was to the point of getting a tension headache every single day, and many times I would wake up with a headache. This went on for years.
Now that I’ve found Dr. Stern, I haven’t had a headache in over two weeks! That’s a miracle.
I’ve referred a number of people to Dr. Stern, and if you’re in the market for a great chiropractor you can’t go wrong with Stellar Chiropractic!

If you’re looking for a full service chiropractor, Dr. Stern is it. Not only does he give you appropriate adjustments as one would expect from a Chiro, he also does massage and ultrasound as necessary, some light stretching, and really tunes into your overall bodily health.
When I first started seeing him 3 years ago, it was mainly for back and shoulder issues related to sitting at a desk… yes, I live in corporate America. Since then, he has helped me through TMJ issues, a strained wrist, and the WORST hamstring pull EVER, in addition to his regular «maintenance» checks. I trust him more than my general doctor and have sent multiple friends to him for treatments.
What could possibly make this situation better? I DO have an answer… $ 20 per appointment. Yes, for world class service from a doctor with over 20 years of experience, one can get adjusted, massaged and physically stabilized for $ 20! He doesn’t take insurance to keep his costs low and he is very flexible in seeing you. Great at returning calls, scheduling you sooner if an injury comes up and even does follow up calls to see how you’re feeling after the appointment.
If I could give Dr. Stern more stars, I would. He truly is a the best chiropractor I have ever been to.

Like the others, I was skeptical about the pricing for Dr. Stern. I had an upper back problem due to carrying a backpack and a friend’s massage therapist recommended him and me.
Though I came in with a specific problem, Dr. Stern was attentive and very comprehensive with his examination. He doesn’t try to sell you anything and I never feel pressured to sign a package deal or anything like that. His explanations towards your physiology reminiscent of my experience with a physical therapist. This is probably a reflection of his 20+ years of experience. The ultrasound treatment is great.
I am always very happy coming out of the experience, the hour or thirty minute session is super productive and he never wastes any time! You definitely get your moneys worth.

Dr Stern is outstanding. I am relatively fit and healthy but have without a doubt been in much better health since I started visiting Dr Stern. I spend my days at an office and am occassionally plagued with minor workplace related injuries (or more appropriately nusances) such as neck strain or tension. These symptoms were futher aggravated and sometimes quite acutely after exercising, lifting weights or doing yoga which forced me to be feeling not all the great about 15% of the time.
I now pain free, sleeping better and living healthier.
Thanks Dr. Stern.

Life saver!
I’ve gone through 3 chiropractors before discovering Dr. Stern.
And yes, I wish I had found him right from the beginning of my back/​neck problems!!!
I am amazed to finally get treated from «head to toes». which is balancing my body to truly deeply heal. Also I am always explained what is going with me, which has taken my fear of not getting well completely away! What a relief. Also financially STELLAR is a heaven sent, since I did spent all my insurance and savings on the other chiropractors, although not getting well…
I am so super thankful!!~*

I am grateful for Dr. Stern’s high quality chiropractic services. You’ll get results with this doctor because he has 20 years of experience. His rates can’t be beat, $ 25 per 30 minute visit. The first evaluation is $ 40. Cash only keeps his rates low, and he doesn’t accept insurance.
Dr. Stern also uses ultrasound technology to work on hamstrings and the lower back muscles. My body was a painful mess and I was in misery. After three visits, I’m feeling much better now and am certain I’m in good hands with this chiropractor.
He was perfectly located within a 8 minute walk from my home. He’s located in a historical landmark building in a wonderful neighborhood.

I first came across Dr. Sterns services on an ad at Lombardi’s ski shop and was a little weary because of the pricing. I have seen chiropractors charge three times the amount that he charges which concerned me, but I have received the best care from Dr. Stern then any large practice could offer.
Dr. Stern truly provides the care that he indicates on his flyer’s. A realigning of the body as a whole (Muscularly and Skeletally) caused by sport-​active activities at a low affordable cost. I have been a patient of his for about a year now and my structural health is at a 9 out of 10.
Dr. Sterns approach with me has helped my structural posture with a chiropractor approach and with an adjustment to my workout routine. This two-​fisted approach has really strengthened my structural health more then I can imagine.
Week after week I dis-​align myself due to long extensive computer use and sport activities, but Dr. Stern always puts me back in alignment as needed. I visit him on a bi-​weekly basis and he is always flexible never pressuring you on a static date and time treatment. Even if you have to reschedule a day or two before, he is always flexible and understanding to his patience schedules. In times of emergencies, he always tries to fit you in that day or asap the next morning with a lot of flexibility. Dr. Stern really gives his patients a personal touch that gets lost with larger practices.
If your new to this form of treatment or know the type of treatment you want, Dr. Stern’s firm should be in your consideration of firms in San Francisco. I give him 5 stars and hope others receive the same experience as I have.
