Robert L Ammirati, DC

First visit today. Both the doctor as well as his office person were thorough and awesome! Will definitely be back.

Rob is fantastic! He’s been helping me recover from years of ballet and a bad car accident. He is always curious about your whole life and how it is impacting your body stress. An intuitive hands-​on practitioner, you won’t find a better chiropractor than Rob.

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review for Dr. Ammirati yet… he’s actually one of my longest standing health care providers. I was referred to him after getting hit in my car (in the 90’s!) At the time, I was skeptical of chiropractic, but he has made such a difference in my health.
As others have mentioned, Dr. Ammirati is very intuitive. He took an active interest in helping me solve a shoulder/​neck problem at the source (and figured out it was a seatbelt that was hitting my shoulder in a bad place and constantly stressing it). He even ordered a hard seat to help me to try to boost myself to a different angle while driving. He is very holistic in his approach and always makes positive suggestions that have actually changed my life for the better. He still checks in on me from time to time. I need to make more time to go see him, as I always feel better afterwards!

I have worked with Rob for years. When I started I had trouble with my neck in that i couldn’t, literally, turn it to my left… just wouldn’t go. I must admit I am not the Best patient ever. but Rob only expects you to be you and your life style and the demands of it on your body can be sometimes debilitating. I’m retired now as an auto mechanic so I see him way less frequently and over the years I’d like to say we have become friends. Excellent at diagnosing the root of the problem and the treatment and… behavior modifications you may have to change. Like for years he kept telling me to take my wallet out of my back pocket because it shifts your hips and misaligns your spine when you sit… i now put it in a coat pocket or leave it locked in the car… duh…took me years to hear but he would every now and then remind me… the office and treatment rooms are not hospital green and starkly foreboding. jsut the oposite its friendly and comfortable. get appointments in advance cause he’s buisy.

I recently went to see Dr Ammirati for an acute episode of Sciatica. He got me in the same morning that I thought I was dying of pain, and followed up the next day. His treatments often include heat, ultrasound, tissue work, adjustments, exercise and dietary suggestions. His work is very comprehensive. He is also very compassionate, reliable, honest and has a good sense of humor too! Dr Ammirati has helped me a lot, over the years and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Ammirati is AMAZING! Caring, compassionate, insightful, and truly has the patient’s best interest in mind. Was able to correctly diagnose my condition after numerous other doctors failed. Cannot speak highly enough about him. He is one of those Unilocal doctors you wish you could get in to see, but other Unilocal readers have booked the schedule before you. You are lucky if you are fortunate enough to experience this fabulous doctor. He ALWAYS tries his best to accomodate getting you fit in his schedule, and usually succeeds (from my experience).

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ammirati since 1992, and he is THE BEST! Actually, he does such good work that I personally see him very rarely, but I have sent nearly a dozen friends to him over the years and they were all amazed at the results. What can I say? He has magic hands!
A friend whom I sent to Dr. Ammirati recently wrote me: «No wonder you rave about him. He’s already made a huge difference. Many thanks for rescuing me.»
When you visit a chiropractor, you want someone *experienced*, and Dr. Ammirati has been healing bodies for 27 or 28 years now. Amazingly, as terrific as he was 20 years ago, he’s even better today.
Moreover, «Dr. Rob» takes a holistic approach. He’s helped me (and others) to lose weight, and he introduced me to the tiny, foldable «nada chair» — essential for pain-​free sitting when your back is in spasm.
Finally, he keeps his prices fairly reasonable and he reaches out to the community. Seek no further for chiropractic care than the foot of Solano Avenue!

Dr Rob Ammirato is one of the kindest and thoughtful chiropractors I’ve ever seen. He is very intuitive and really takes the time to get to the cause of the problem, really listens to you. I have had neck and back issues for years and feel a sense of relief not only physically but emotionally not worrying because I know I am getting good care and my situation has stabilized tremendously since becoming one of his patients. I can go much longer between treatments because my situation has improved so much. GREAT neck adjustments by the way… also his assistant Jamie is an absolute sweetheart and has gone to bat for me with my insurance company. LOVE this place!

In pain? For me it’s been chronic. For 23 years.
More than 2 decades ago I injured myself swimming (butterfly stroke eventually breaks your wings). I went to 4 different chiropractors, all highly recommended, but… only able to give temporary relief. The 4^th one I saw weekly for 18 years, but my shoulders were never more than 2 days pain free.
Then, we moved to California and I was concerned about finding a chiropractor here who could give me at least the minimum level of relief I had back in Austin.
A friend took me to Dr. Rob Ammirati. Thank goodness.
After only 8 months, today I have a range of motion I didn’t think I’d ever see again. I’m pain-​FREE for at least 4 days weekly, that’s twice as many days as before (and my sleep is the best ever).
If you’ve been hurting for awhile, it’s going to take time to put your body right. Rob will explore what works best with you overall & on any given day. He might do classic manipulation one day, another visit he might use the ultra-​sound, another time he might bring out the special hot packs followed by a spot massage or a combination of these and other approaches.
Apart from his expertise as a chiropractor (and his all ’round good heart) Rob has an engaging personality. He’s well-​read with interests in music, photography, film, art as well as nutrition, exercise, good food, and so on. You’re gonna have all sorts of interesting conversations. Yet, since he also meditates, Rob’s comfortable with being silent too.
Before you go for surgery or resign yourself to live in hurt, please check out Dr. Rob Ammirati.
(NOTE: You’ll get 90 minutes of free parking on just about any street in Albany— plenty of time for your treatment & then a walk up & down Solano in the heart of this quaint «town».)

I saw Dr. Ammirati today for the first time and was very impressed. He spent about an hour and a half with me and really knows what he is doing. The treatment is perceptive, responsive, respectful, subtle, and deep. I have had persistent headaches and neck pain for as long as I can remember and now I have hope of truly feeling better.

Rob Ammirati is awesome! I have been going to him for over 3 years. But ever since I got rear ended 6 months ago and took 5 months to finally realize that he could help me, I’ve been so relieved. He is slowly but surely fixing my back. A month later, I am so much better off. I am able to sleep now and my neck and lower back are not in massive pain. I still can’t say that I can cock my head in any direction but that I think has more to do with the muscles still healing.
I also have taken a few falls since I the car accident, apparently because my sense of balance and depth have been compromised. I took a fall that took out my elbow and knee. Ammirati actually fixed my knee! I am still in shock over that one b/​c I didn’t think chiropractors could fix things like that. I was so sure I was on the road to surgery. Very scary. Thank you Rob!

Bottom line, Dr. Ammirati is a superhero. He has helped me with numerous issues: from neck problems to a sprained ankle to a jammed thumb to foot pain. The guy has great instincts and skills. Moreoever, he has pointed advice about lots of things: nutrition, excercise, food, wine, and even raising children. He’s a great person to chat with and bounce ideas off of. It is also important to point that although Dr. Ammirati will try to help you with just about any body problem you are having, he never gives the impression that he is trying to milk you for more visits, hence more money. His rates are very fair, he is honest and, most of all, he is confident in his abilities and always offers some productive advice and care.

I went to Rob Ammirati’s office because I got into two car accidents and one hockey collision and my neck and back were really messed up. I have never been to a chiropractor before and I was a little sceptical but today I feel great. He was very involved with the community and his help went way beyond chiropractic services. It was an all around good experience.

I first visited Dr. Ammirati, who was recommend to me by a friend, after I woke up early one morning with severe pain in my left shoulder.
I went to Ammirati first thing before work and he was able to make almost all the pain go away on the first visit. I then went back every morning for days until he was finally able to get me to the point where I wasn’t waking up with pain anymore.
I have nothing but good things to say about him. He is very friendly and always has something interesting to say and is very good at what he does.

Dr. Ammirati gives the kind of care and attention that’s difficult to find. He’s interested in finding out what’s actually wrong with you and fixing it, as soon as possible.
My lower back and knee issues used to make walking up and down stairs to work difficult; after seeing Dr. Ammirati only a few times I was able to walk stairs with ease. I feel myself improving with each visit.
I would highly recommend Dr. Ammirati to anyone looking for a chiropractor who is interested in helping you live better.
