Neighborhood Chiropractic

Both chiropractor and massage are great. Highly recommend it. Very friendly and do a great job with fixing whatever you’re having problems with; neck, back, shoulder, etc. Also, affortable unlike many chiropractor visits nowadays.

I’ve been to a few chiropractors in my day, but Dr. Nguyen is by far the best. Not only did he help my back and neck problems, he also showed me the right stretches and strengthening exercises to help my body stay out of pain.

Dr. Nguyen is great. I had never been to a chiropractor and went to another clinic because they offered a Groupon deal. They were nice and seemed competent, but when I sought a second opinion from Dr. Nguyen, he told me in a straightforward, honest, and respectful way that the other clinic was proposing a treatment plan that might have been unrealistic. (An orthopedic surgeon has since agreed with this.) I’ve had three adjustments with him and my back feels better already. Cost is reasonable, too. The other clinic presented me a huge treatment plan ($ 5000+) that really scared me. Dr. Nguyen is much more willing to work with my insurance, see how things go, not lock me into a rigid plan. Highly recommended!

I moved to San Jose last summer after having seen a chiropractor regularly in my previous city who provided great service at an affordable rate. When I first looked for a chiropractor here in San Jose, I realized just how spoiled I had been and that the rates of the majority of local chiropractors were well beyond my ability to pay. After searching online for an affordable practitioner, I found Dr. Nguyen. I have since seen him multiple times and have been extremely pleased with his work. A bonus is that I am usually able to make same-​day appointments on the spot. I highly recommend him.

Both Dr Nguyen and Johanna are great listeners and very friendly. They listened to my concerns and provided great service.

Dr. Nguyen is amazing! I had a rib popped out of place and had no health insurance. I went to Dr. Nguyen and within 10 minutes he had me feeling great again. I had never been to a chiropractor prior to my visit with him. He answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable and at ease. I’ve recommended him to friends and families. Make sure to fill out the new patient questionnaire online before your first visit so that your visit is quicker.

This review addresses, separately, Dr. Nguyen’s chiropractic skills and his interpersonal skills. With respect to the former, I’d say the doctor is very knowledgeable and competent; and I was favorably impressed. He definitely seemed to know what he was talking about and conveyed that information clearly.
That positive impression was, however, somewhat offset by his interpersonal skills, which I found a bit gruff and brusque. I probably wouldn’t have mentioned this … and it wouldn’t have been an issue … except that I’ve had experience with many other chiropractors over the past couple decades, and they all demonstrated greater sympathy and were less pointed in their interactions. But reading all reviews of Dr. Nguyen to date, I think my experience might be (or at least sounds) unrepresentative, and I might’ve just caught him on an «off» day, as we all have.
Johanna, the massage therapist who works in Dr. Nguyen’s office (I’m not sure if she’s an employee or independent contractor) is a sweetheart. She loves and believes in her work, and it showed in her technique and uplifting conversations with me. Johanna probably would have remained my massage therapist, except her office is a bit far from home and there are therapists in my area who are as talented, enthused about their work, and cheerful as Johanna. Sorry, Johanna.

Both Dr. Nguyen and Joanna were amazing.
I purchased a groupon because I wanted to look for a new chiropractor. My old one had high profile clients and their prices were a bit steep for me. The groupon includes:
1 Free Consult
1 60 Minute Massage
1 Free Adjustment
I got there early and Dr. Nguyen already guessed who I was. He greeted me with a firm handshake and returned to his client. Once Joanna arrived, we immediately took care of my paperwork and began my massage.
Joanna and I had a lot of fun talking about a range of topics. My tattoos, her son, and puppies. I asked for a firm/​deep tissue massage so I wasn’t looking to doze off. I was there to get fixed and the conversation was very pleasant. At first, I thought she wasn’t putting enough pressure but I always overestimate how much pressure I really need. I came with a stiff neck that was painful to move and left a little sore. However, my muscles felt liberated of knots and kinks and was brand new the following day.
Then I saw Dr.Nguyen. I have a very athletic background so I mention everything I do and the positions my body always find itself in. Dr. Nguyen addressed all of my concerns. My consult was followed by a full body readjustment, electrotherapy, and targeting my ankle that I’ve twisted up 3 – 4 times within the past few years. It was thorough and he didn’t let me go until everything was addressed despite having another appointment right after mine.
I liked his honestly. He didn’t tell me to come back the next week because of this or that. He told me that if I wasn’t in pain, I should just do the exercise he assigned me to strengthen my ankle. He recommending coming back once a month to get adjusted and checked on because well, everyone needs to do that once a month. He didn’t tell me to come back sooner to treat me for anything that wasn’t totally needed.
My advice is book them ASAP. Their calendar was booked and I got squeezed in because someone canceled an appointment.
I’ll definitely be back.

Dr. Nguyen is amazing!!! Before I walked into his office a week ago I could barely walk. I had been to the gym and tried lifting more than I should have and my back shut down on me. Dr. Nguyen assessed the problem and help to get me back on my feet. No one session is gonna cure anything but I for sure am gonna keep coming back. I’m writing this after session 2 and I feel fantastic. Go see him!!!

Excellent service. I found them because a massage therapist recommended Dr. Tommy for chiropractic maintenance. His fees are very reasonable. I started going monthly because my lower back gets really tight so I use the massage therapist pair of Johanna together with Dr. Tommy monthly. The combo really relieves the pain in my lower back and Dr. Tommy has shown me stretches that I should do in between sessions. They both are very friendly and competent.

I purchased a living social deal for a spinal adjustment and a 60 minutes massage. Both Dr. Nguyen and Johanna was very friendly and knowledgeable.
I scheduled an appointment online a few days before my session. I received a called the day after. Apparently, I was very lucky because I wanted to have the session the following day, but someone canceled so I was really lucky.
I think the spinal adjustment session was about 20 minutes. Dr. Nguyen explained which part of my back needed improvements and what I needed to do. I felt so much lighter after the session.
Johanna was awesome. She was very thorough and attacked most of my knots on my back.
I will most likely come back here in a few months.

I purchased the Unilocal voucher for new customers, well worth it! I had a 30 min session with Dr. Nguyen and it did wonders for my lower back and neck pain. I found him really pleasant to speak with and he targeted my areas of concern to work on and I felt so good after! AND I can still go back again for an hour massage to use up the remainder of the voucher!
Even without the Unilocal deal, they have very reasonable prices. I will definitely try to get back monthly.

Dr. Tommy knows what he’s doing and he’ll fix you. I wasn’t looking for a chiropractor to begin with – I was looking more for a podiatrist or a chiropodist to fix my feet and legs due to a very old injury that’s left me a little wonky. Did various searches on Unilocal and somehow other people’s reviews of Dr. Tommy convinced me to at least go for a first visit. Long story short, he fixed me in several weeks’ time and I can actually move with much more ease now and actually go back to dancing. As others have said, he’s not pushy, he’ll give you exercises to help you maintain your treatments, and he offers quite competitive rates.

I recently went in for a diagnosis/​treatment with Dr. Nguyen for «facet syndrome» which was causing me discomfort with my lower back after playing in a weekly volleyball league. I knew my issue was severe enough to seek professional help when I couldn’t maintain a fully upright posture and noticed the symptoms were recurring here and there. My biggest concern was paying for the treatments out of pocket, but I found his cost for services extremely reasonable in comparison to others! His level of professionalism and expertise far exceeded my expectations, and it certainly helps the fact that he’s an active athlete as well and can relate to many of the common injuries & pain points which I have experienced. He’s very easy going and accomodated my schedule by accepting a very late appointment due to the urgency of my issue. I’m grateful he was willing to see me on such short notice because I’m already feeling the immediate benefits from his treatments.

I just left my second session with Dr. Tommy. After having to find a new chiro after switching jobs, I was a bit worried about what I’d find in my search. I found Dr. Tommy through Unilocal and decided to give it a shot.
First of all, he is thorough and definitely listens to your pain points. Compared to my other chiros I’ve been to, he makes sure to ensure he can do all he can before you leave the office. I’ve always walked out much looser and in less pain which great.
Furthermore, he’s local to my office and accepts my insurance so I can’t complain.

I had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Tommy Nguyen over the weekend. I was taking advantage of an AmazonDeal that I had purchased. First, I must say… He is soooooo nice. I was sold on his practice just by our phone conversation. When I finally met him in person, I realized that I was not messing with no «Rookie». He definitely knew his stuff. He was very informative and inquired about any trouble areas that I might have, provided an explanation of what the issues might be. He was gentle and yet very effective. I will be back to see him again.
My deal also included a one hour massage with Johanna Beals. She definitely has the «Midas Touch». She took all the information from Dr. Nguyen and utilized in a customized one-​hour massage. I felt like a feather floating out of their office.
Although I used a voucher to obtain their services; after hearing what their regular prices were, I was blown away. They are UN-​believably reasonable.
I recommend anyone with back issues to use Dr. Nguyen. And if you want a massage that will have you floating on a cloud, use Johanna.
You can thank me later! :-)

I have been seeing Dr. Nguyen for 6 years give or take. He has always been professional and provided outstanding service. I have a recurring issue that has its own mind, when it hurts I can call Dr. Nguyen and he will find a day and time to work with my schedule. There is never any pressure or «let’s setup your next appt» line, he takes care of me and I’m on my way.
As a bonus the onside massage therapist is great I’ve seen here a couple times and am ready to go back soon!

I’ve been going to see Dr. Nguyen (Tommy) for over 2 years now he’s is absolutely great. He listens and teaches you how to mange your aches and pains with home exercises so you can incorporate that in between your visits. I can’t say enough great things about his office. I’m always calling last minute to be squeezed in and Dr Nguyen has been great in accommodating me into his schedule. They have an in house Masseause also, so if your bones and posture are in need of help give Dr. Tommy a call and he will set ur joints and back right. Your new foud posture and lessened aches will thank you.

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Nguyen for a few years now but have not written a review yet. Yeah it takes a while for me to review stuff.
Dr. N is great! He listens to what bothers you, is observant (noticed that I carried my wallet in my back pocket and explained that that can cause you to sit lopsided and mess with your posture), and suggests way you can work on keeping yourself in alignment. His adjustments are great. I feel better after each one! Every adjustment is a little different mostly due to something different needing to be adjusted each time I go (two kids can really mess you up!)
Not feeling 100% or in alignment, go see Dr. N. He’ll set you straight!

I just moved to San Jose and found Dr. Nguyen since his practice is close to San Jose City College where I am taking classes. He is really friendly and professional. His methods are very thorough compared to treatments I had in the past from other doctors.
I just found out his massage therapist (who is by appointment only) provides all types of massages and it’s only $ 38 an hour! You can’t find that kind of price anywhere~~
Note: His office is inside a building on the corner of Bascom Ave. and Hedding St. Don’t let the stuffy law offices fool you! haha His office is right upstairs next to them.
Definitely check it out.
