Greg Barsten, DC CCN

I was referred to Dr Greg by a doctor highly rated herself who ranked him the best doctor she ever knew, who she would trust with her life. One consultation with him and it became quite clear why his medical expertise and credibility is unparalleled. Before I discovered Dr Greg, I was misdiagnosed and left spinning in circles exhaustively by every possible alternative therapy out there from Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Bio-​therapy to Chinese medicine, not to mention a decade of damage done by western medicine. A major surgery (spleen and half of pancreas removed) in 2004 had left me stuck with cascading issues affecting most major systems in my body. Most of the doctors only helped a little but never really resolved the core issue. Dr Greg very quickly zeroed in on the problem. He communicates very clearly and his approach is backed up by actual, substantial research and data. His clarity of thought, speech and a defined course of action makes one feel quite assured that he is the best mentor for your health care goals. He is super honest and a straight shooter who will not mislead or dismiss your questions with a «because I said so» which too many doctors say too often. Instead he tries to educate and share his knowledge to make you take an active role in your healthcare. He will equip you with relevant literature on everything he prescribes or recommends which is to enable you to take ownership of your own health.
Dr Greg’s line of all natural, food based supplements not only fixed the previous long-​term damage done but now I’m on my way to becoming stronger than ever. He is my go to guy for all health problems — big or small. In fact I consult him before contacting my primary care doctor if at all. His PEMF and LED machines are incredibly effective (for deeply chronic issues too). His chiropractor consultation fixed my back issue with just 1 tune-​up session followed by a LED treatment. Unlike other doctors he self-​empowers you so you don’t develop crutches on his herbs or treatments. A special mention needs to be made about his personable and kind staff — in spite of a busy and demanding front desk they’re always patient, attentive and friendly. Feel immensely thankful and fortunate to be under Dr Greg’s care.

I was referred to Dr. Barsten by a friend of mine who is very active and persistent in finding health care practitioners that are up to her high standards. She is very well informed and has tried several modalities in her quest for health — and she raved about Dr. Barsten. I went to see him for a chiropractic consult and was very impressed. He is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and explained all the whys and wherefores to me as he worked on me. His equipment is start-​of-​the-​art. I also went back to him for a nutritional consult and was even MORE impressed. Dr. Barsten combines elements from the disciplines of chiropractic medicine, acupuncture, herbal remedies, vitamins and state of the art technology to diagnose and treat. I have been to several MD’s over the years as well as acupuncturists for low energy and, more recently, heart burn. My visit to a specialist at Stanford ended up leading to an endoscopy (which is fine — I’m happy to rule out physical/​structural issues) and then a recommendation to take an acid-​pump inhibitor for the rest of my life — no thank you. After a few visits with Dr. Barsten, my heartburn issue has virtually disappeared, my energy has improved and my overall health seems much better. I am very happy to have been introduced to him and recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone.

Greg Barsten is someone that years ago I listened to at a seminar he put on and decided then I needed to see this person. From that point on I have been a patient and now I consider him a friend. While my original concerns were of the Chiropractic nature… Greg has also guided my overall health and that of my wife, friends and dozens of others I have recommended him too. Several patients has serious disorders that were life altering and Greg magically fixed them (when I might add others gave up including MD’s). He is extremely knowledgeable, continues to improve his education, upgrades his equipment and is worried enough about his patients… he even bought an AED (the likely use of which is slim). The only thing I can say about the one and only negative review is that is appeared the gal that wrote the review was very much about herself and unaware that people that go to Greg regularly may have developed a relationship… whereby visiting is a normal practice. Greg would never tolerate ignoring a patient and if he were to have read the one negative report… would have addressed it. I would recommend Greg and his office anytime to anyone.
In the years I have been going there I have met other doctors, including oncologists, regular MD’s and other Chiro’s all of which would not continue a relationship less it be professional and rewarding.
Having gone to many Chiro’s over the years I can tell you that Greg is at the top of his game and is one that doesn’t simply want to snap crackle and pop you but actually get you well. His nutritional knowledge is among the best and his knowledge of supplements and herbal remedies is unbelievable. He is busy, and not because he is a poor Dr but because he has regular patients happy with him and his office. I have even seen him squeeze in a patient or too, that would be considered new… in an attempt to give them relief. Hopefully this review will help others in their decision process.

Dr. Barsten is the smartest and most intuitive care provider I have ever met. He has helped me over the last two decades with dozens of issues that MDs had absolutely no idea how to treat. In fact, I went to Dr. Barsten initially because my MD put me on so many antibiotics, they had killed all of the good gut bacteria and created a host of problems. Dr. Barsten is up on all of the most current, independent research and I would trust him with my life. He is brilliant!

my chiropractor’s office recommended dr barsten when my usual doc was out of town. it took three days to get in for an adjustment (which, let’s be honest – when do chiropractic appointments ever take more than 10 minutes for a simple adjustment? how are three whole days filled? the office didn’t seem THAT busy), and when we finally arrived, holy crap. holy. crap.
first, the receptionist failed to greet us and even ignored us, carrying on a conversation with another patient about the craziest shit. loudly. and in a manner that made it impossible to get her attention – which was imperative, because, you know, we were new patients and have no idea what’s going on. after about five minutes i finally interjected and informed her that we were new patients and needed to do paperwork and such. she was apologetic and fixed us up with paperwork, but then she *kept talking*, first to her buddy the other patient, then me. the whole time my bf was in the room with the doctor, she’s yakking about the dumbest shit and i’m stuck staring at my iphone sending very serious I Don’t Want To Talk signals, to no avail. i looked to my left and noticed a large buddha fountain and silently asked him «how do you put up with this shit?».
of all places to have a wacky yakky receptionist! a place where you go for rehab and massage therapy and chiropractics should really consider someone with a more calm and soothing – not to mention courteous! – demeanor.

Greg is fabulous. You always hear horror stories about people who go to chiropractors every week for years on end. With Greg, he can usually fix what ails you in one or two visits. I’ve recommended him to friends, and all of them were pleased. Highly recommended.
