Snider Mathew A DC-A Chiropractic Corporation

I have used Dr. Snider’s services from time to time for the last 7 years. He is very professional and intelligent chiropractor. He treats each patient with a high respect and people leave his office smiling.
Every time when my imagination draws scary diagnoses about my back or neck, Dr. Snider says with a smile «I’ll fix it in a few minutes» and he does it. Sometimes I feel results immediately and sometimes my pain goes away in a few hours. He is just amazing doctor and I can’t thank him enough for what he does. He is the one who is not interested in getting more money from you and never suggests you to set up an additional appointment with him if there is no necessity. I recommended him to my friends and they are very happy to have him as their chiropractic as well.

I don’t suffer from immense back pain like most people who might see a chiropractor regularly, but I am one of those people who carries all of my stress in my neck and shoulders, which is the reason I sought out chiropractic care to begin with. With that said, I picked Dr. Snider randomly from a list of providers who take my medical insurance. It was blind luck. I called three chiropractors one day and Dr. Snider was the first to call me back. That was January 2013 and I’ve been seeing him regularly since then.
It wasn’t my first time at a chiropractor, though. I had X-​Rays and an initial exam done at a chiropractor closer to my home in Fremont about six months before. I never ended up going back because I felt like they didn’t care about helping me with my neck and shoulder pain, as much as they wanted my money. They tried to get me to sign up for a package of visits, which totaled to thousands of dollars. The entire visit felt icky and scammy.
I chose Dr. Snider because he was close to my work in Cupertino and I’m so glad I did! Every experience I’ve had with Dr. Snider has been superb! He doesn’t seem to care much about getting my (or my insurance company’s) money; rather, he cares about my health and well-​being. In fact, when my insurance company denied some of my visits from last year, Dr. Snider waived the fees! But what I really love about Dr. Snider is that he is not a «wham-bam-thank-you-m’am» chiropractor. My appointments usually last at least 30 minutes because they consist of more than just «adjustments» — heat is often applied to stiffer areas, massage techniques are used, etc. He is very careful about the treatment he gives and even offers advice for home therapy, such as stretches and massage techniques. Once, when I arrived with a terrible cold, he gave me a bottle of Zinc — on the house — to help me get over my illness (side note: it worked! and now I swear by Zinc). This guy knows what he’s talking about, what he’s doing, AND he cares about his patients. Triple whammy!
The last thing that I love about Dr. Snider is how personable he is. He truly shows how much he cares about his patients by engaging us in conversation on every visit. His wife is a teacher and so am I, so we often have long, thoughtful discussions about education. He really goes out of his way to make you — the patient — feel comfortable, accepted, and well taken care of.

I started out seeing Dr. Snider Sr. And have continued on with Matt for more years than I care to count. He’s always helped me/​my back whether regular tune-​ups or when I’m out of alignment.
When I saw a quack because I threw my back out on vacation out of state (who pinched a nerve, etc.), he said I needed to go to physical therapy first. I did and it took six months for the problem to subside. I’ve always gone to Dr. Snider, referred many colleagues and friends, and will continue to rely on him to fix my back. Kathy has always been a great help and love catching up with her when I visit the office. I would highly recommend Dr. Snider!

I suffered from back pain for more than 10 years and went to a chiropractor only in urgent situations to improve it a little. I had no faith that my back can be cured completely.
But after the first visit I changed my mind. I feel so much better now! Big thanks to Mathew!

After a snowboarding fall I was having a hard time breathing. Matt was able to figure out what was wrong and took care of me. Highly Recommend him.

I have been going to Sunnyvale Chiropractic for over 20 years now. Is Dr. Snider a miracle healer? No! Is he the best chiropractor in the Bay Area? Better believe it! If you want personal, professional, thorough service with all the tricks in the book to work on your back and feel like a member of his family, please give Dr. Snider a try. In the last 20 years or so, Dr. Snider has helped me deal with my failing back. He has managed to keep me upright and walking and able to keep my business going. If not for him I don’t want to think where I would be now. Kathy is also great! She keeps everything in the office running smooth. You won’t find a more caring, compassionate pair of people.

Avoid Dr. Snider. My partner and I went in there for chiro work and both left in more pain than we went in with. I went back the following day to see if he could fix it and I was still in pain afterwards. Some of the positions he put me in to fix my back were also very uncomfortable. We’ve both had chiropractic work done before so we know it should work to relieve the pain.
It looks like he hasn’t reinvested a cent into his office or equipment in the past 20 years.
Edit: ok, after giving it a couple of days, I decided to give him two stars. He did offer me a few techniques to try at home to relax my muscles. That was nice, but I was (and still am) in major pain.

Some people think chiropractic medicine is a «quack» discipline.
Those people could not be more wrong.
Dr. Snider is one of the most caring, compassionate, and understanding doctors I’ve ever visited. I don’t know if I would be walking today if it hadn’t been for the constant, vigilant care he gave me nearly 10 years ago. He worked with me over several months to alleviate and correct, as much as possible, what had gone awry in my back. He cares about me personally and I never feel like I’m just another patient in the doctor mill.
In addition to his Chiropractic training, he has a background in sports medicine and is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Pain Management. He is well-​versed in a variety of techniques to alleviate back pain and is very focused on giving you the kind of treatment suited to your body and your injury.
If you’re thinking you’re just going to come in and have your back cracked and regret it three weeks later, Dr. Snider is not this kind of chiropractor. In nearly 10 years of treating me off and on for my recurring back ailment, I’ve only had my back «cracked» maybe three times.
It’s worth noting that sometimes back ailments cannot be «cured». If you expect that two visits to the chiropractor might fix you for good, you will probably be disappointed. However, if you’re willing to commit to regularly receiving good care over a period of time, chances are that your pain will be alleviated for longer and longer lengths of time until you are only needing to see the chiropractor now and again as things flare up. To me, that’s far more acceptable than constant chronic back pain — and that’s the kind of expert care Dr. Snider gives.
I can’t recommend Dr. Snider and his friendly staff highly enough. They changed my life and always come through quickly when I really need it. Plus, you will never wait more than 15 minutes; I have often visited during my lunch hour with time to spare.
Dr. Snider is a godsend!
