Advanced Chiropractic Center

I recently sprained my neck to the point where I couldn’t help with our 2-​week old baby. Naturally, I needed it fixed urgently.
Dr. Biegel was very sympathetic and was able to get me in on the same day (!!!). The entire experience was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He immediately diagnosed my problem, and was able to get me back on my feet that very same day. The exercises he gave me continued to strengthen my neck in the following days, and the improvement was quicker than I could have hoped for.
On top of his professional expertise, Dr. Biegel is very friendly and I immediately felt at ease.
During our first session he laid out the different treatment options we could take depending on how my body reacts to treatment, and explained in detail how much I would have to pay out of pocket for each option given my specific insurance. Amazing service!
I highly recommend him!

By far the best medical professional I’ve ever gone to, for the following reasons:
1) Extremely personable and intelligent. Very down to earth and you can tell he knows his stuff.
2) Never a wait. He has two separate rooms, each with one table, but only uses 1 at any given time. I asked why he doesn’t hire another chiropractor so he can crank out 2x the amount of sessions, and he said he’d much rather provide a better experience for his patients by allowing 1 person to comfortably settle in, take off their shirt (if needed), etc. He purposely schedules 1 appointment every 15 minutes so that there’s never overlap, wait, or waiting room filled with people.
3) Very flexible with timing. He will come in early or stay late for his patients if they can’t make it during normal business hours.
4) Extremely caring & understanding. I accidentally missed two early appointments because of being sick, and he himself called me 10 minutes after my scheduled time to see where I was and if everything was alright. When I told him I wouldn’t be coming in, he said it was no problem and we rescheduled on the phone.
5) Extremely kind staff. It’s just him and one receptionist, who is just as nice as Dr. Biegel.
I’d give this place 10 stars if I could — very bullish!

I went to dr Beigel with what felt like sciatica weeks before my wedding and I was convinced I would need a cane walking down the aisle. He recommended stretches and I saw him twice a week and a couple weeks before my wedding I was back in my stride and feeling great. I highly recommend him!

I have been seeing dr biegel for the past few years and he is professional, personable and effective. Being a rock climber, I injure myself more than I’d like but any time my body is tweaked, I come here for an adjustment, and, without fail, my injuries are relieved within a couple of days of treatment. Highly recommended!

He’s great. I go in for tune-​ups. He rarely needs to see me 3 – 4 times!

I have been seeing Dr. Biegel for over a year and I really see a difference. My back pain is under control. He really knows his stuff, I still see him once a month for continued well-​being.
To maintain my back pain free, I get my neck-​cracked along with back alignment once a month, this really helps.
Dr Beigel is very personable, he is a good listener & very attentive with his patients. He is very well trained and is very knowledgeable.
I highly recommend Dr. Biegel if you are ever in need of a good chiropractor this is your man.

Dr. Biegel really treated me well. After continual wear and tear on my back had left me sleepless at night and considering a new job Dr. Biegel fixed me up in just a few visits. I’m pretty upset with myself that I had spent months in pain without rolling through and biting the bullet quicker, He went out of his way to fit me in, fix me up and get me back on my feet again. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient I was treated well, I’m back at work again and sleeping like a rock. Stoked!

Dr. Biegel was my chiro for about 3 years. I have since changed jobs and no longer work in SF and no longer see Dr. Biegel — sad face. I’ve been receiving chiropractic care for almost all of my life and consider myself very picky when it comes to someone adjusting my spine (as I should). I’ve referred several friends/​coworkers to Dr. Biegel because he is one of the best. Truly. I appreciate his friendly staff and ability to make same day appointments. Oh and the massage tables are pretty nice too. Whatever was ailing me always was fixed. Thanks Dr. Biegel! :)

I found this chiropractic center through HealthNet then American Specialty Health Networks. It was easy to schedule an appointment. Dr. Biegel was very friendly and very knowledgeable. He explained the diagnosis and treatment options clearly. After a few sessions my neck and shoulder pain was mostly gone. He also taught me effective exercises to strengthen or stretch my neck. The roller tables were such a treat! If you seek chiropractors and staff who genuinely care about patients, this is a good clinic.
Health insurance policies can be complicated when it comes to «alternative» medicine even though chiropractic is pretty mainstream. I highly recommend that you first contact your insurance provider directly for details of your coverage. Then call the chiropractic center to find out payment details before scheduling an appointment.

Dr. Biegel is amazing. I’d always been reluctant to try chiropractic work, but upon many of my teammates raving about it, I came to a highly recommended Dr. Biegel. He’s treated my sports related neck issues for a year now whenever I get a flare up in pain. I receive a gentle alignment and ultra sound, then relax on the ice machine. I can’t say enough about how his work had kept me training and competing.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Biegel and Dr. Swanson. I have over 10 years of experience in the chiropractic industry and have received treatment from several other chiropractors, so my standards are pretty high. What sets these doctors apart from other doctors I have seen is that they genuinely care about people. Their main goal is help everyone who steps into their office to help get them better. They go above and beyond what is normally expected to help their patients and take their time to effectively evaluate and explain their patient’s conditions. Not to mention that they are excellent doctors and really awesome guys.
Their office also accepts most insurances and have very reasonable time of service cash rates. They have two locations, one in the mission and the other in the financial district and can usually get you a same day appointment, if necessary.
If you need to see a Chiropractor, these are your guys. They will take great care of you!

If you have Cigna insurance, you’re out of luck with this office.
I was referred to Dr. Biegel by an existing (and very happy) patient. Unfortunately, they no longer accept Cigna plans. Here’s a brief breakdown:
— My plan allows for 20 Chiropractic visits per year
–Dr. Biegel is listed as in-​network for Cigna holders
–Due to payment issues, Dr. Biegel’s office no longer accepts Cigna insurance
When I called to schedule an appointment, without even checking my plan, I was informed that my insurance would not be accepted but I was welcome to pay out-​of-​pocket. Should my insurance come through for Dr. Beigel’s office, I would then be reimbursed, by the office (by Dr. Beigel personally, according to the person who answered the phone). I explained that they were listed as in-​network for Cigna, and asked if she could check my plan. She politely refused, saying it was a new office policy and they just don’t hassle with it anymore.
Unfortunately I cannot afford out-​of-​pocket chiropractic treatment. I have been seeing chiropractors to treat a chronic condition since I was 12, and have never had this problem before. If someone can recommend a Cigna-​friendly chiro in SF, I’d love to hear about it!

I have been seeing Dr. Biegel off and on for the past 5 years. He has healed me through lower back pains, whiplash, and most recently a bulged disc. In every occasion he has explained to me the problem and what I need to do to heal it with exercise, stretches and even a electronic muscle stimulant (tens unit).
In every case he has explained to me how long it would take and the proper things to do to help accelerate the healing (if possible). Overall he is attentive and has a great demeanor when working with me.
The best thing is that he has 2 offices, one in the Financial District and one by Market and Valencia. So there is always a way to see him if you are in the city.
Also you can almost always get a same day appointment if you call ahead, they will fit you in!

I was in excruciating pain not being able to turn my neck or look left or right. I take for granted the ways in which working in front of a computer can inflict stress on my neck. It was hell not being able to sleep. The worse was trying to get up after laying down. Dr. Biegel to the rescue!
He was honest and I value the fact that he didn’t try ti prolong my treatment or suggest more visits to see him. He promised I would be better in 2 weeks and he was right.

Dr. Biegel not only fixed my chronic back pain, but he gave me some techniques and exercises that kept me out of his office for 6 months.
Of course, I just learned about my error in weight lifting techniques that were the reason I ended up in his office in the first place. So, I’ll be back — but I have no question that I’ll be all set after a few visits.

What do you do when you have back trouble while on vacation? You go straight to Unilocal and within a few hours I was under the care of Dr Bieber. What an awesome, caring doctor. I went to both of his locations while in the city. He uses not only adjustments but also massage, ultrasound and stretching. Got me out and about after a few visits. If I lived in SF I would definitely be a regular.

Let me first say that I’ve never been to a chiropractor before and I also previously thought it was hardly a science to be worthy of a Dr. title.
However, after pulling my back out one morning (reaching for my damn BB), I was desperate to try anything. Let me also say I’m in good shape and very athletic so doing something so innocent with major consequences was beyond my comprehension. That’s the price you pay for missing gym sessions and letting a laptop and car travel take their toll on your posture (my opinion).
On a Monday, I pulled my back, which I’ve done before, but this time it was infinitely worse. Two hours after the initial sting, I was darn near paralyzed from pain and couldn’t even get up and lay down by myself or without it be excruciating. I felt utterly crippled. I couldn’t even dress myself to go anywhere, shower, or carry anything.
I happened upon this office by accident because from where I was in the Sunset on the following Wednesday, Dr. Swanson’s OLD office was just a few blocks away (thanks Google for not updating the business address). However, he’s located at 155 Valencia now with Dr. Biegel. So I decided to go there anyway on Wednesday because I was desperate and 2 days hadn’t changed a thing. I also had a prepaid vacation to Hawaii in a week and there was no way I was canceling it.
Olivia, the receptionist, was very pleasant and continued to be for the duration of my visits (5 in total). The location of the office is great since you can just hang a right off of 101 N and parking was never an issue (although the City is gouging us but that’s neither here nor there).
The first 3 treatments were by Dr. Swanson who was very professional and courteous. Doctors’ offices are always a little weird, but it was easy to build rapport with both doctors. Dr. Swanson even gave me an electrode device to use at home to stimulate my muscles and some Tiger Balm to dull the pain, which was a little more effective than Advil and Vicodin alone.
The 4^th treatment was just before a vacation so I really wanted to get better and by then, I was. I’d say about 90% with a minimal amount of pain. Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding with the schedule and Dr. Swanson wasn’t there first thing in the morning so I was treated by Dr. Biegel, who was very professional and courteous. He also saw me for a follow-​up once I got back because they got slammed one afternoon.
After only 5 treatments, I was about as good a new although they both cautioned it could take a few months for everything to be back 100% even though the pain had subsided. I’m glad they were honest enough to not string me along.
My copay (Blue Shield) covered 90% of the treatment with a minimal amount out of pocket and also covered the electrode machine.
The office is almost like a spa with soothing music, roller beds, and a clean atmosphere. I would highly recommend that anyone come here regardless of injury type. They can see anyone from the average Joe to professional athletes and gymnasts. I’m definitely thinking about coming back for an overall alignment adjustment once I feel that my back is surely healed.

I had fallen as a child and, without realizing it, injured my coccyx. I injured my lower back on the job. Between the two, I was in bad shape, but I did not realize how bad.
It took time, but Dr. Biegel’s treatments restored functionality and reduced the pain in my lower back.
Thank you.

***THE BEST CHIROPRACTOR***
Dr.Biegel is a fantastic chiropractor and all around a great guy. Combining sport and being glued to a desk for way to many hours a day, has resulted the need for chiropractic care over the past 10 years. I have been going to Dr. Biegel since 1999 and I have recommended him to many friends and they all have been pleased with their visits to his offices. I can’t say enough good things about Dr Biegel, he has been instrumental for the good health I enjoy today… for that I am forever grateful. THANK YOU !

My girlfriend, Sarah, and I got into a car accident about a week ago. As she was in debilitating back pain, further complicated by her fibromyalgia, I decided to check out Unilocal to find a chiropractor near our apartment.
Alas, we found Dr. Biegel and his five star reviews. I called, and then made an appointment for later that day.
Dr. Biegel saw both of us — He eased my sharp lower back pain with just one adjustment.
…And Dr. Biegel has enabled Sarah’s back to nearly return to its pre-​accident state.
Here’s Sarah: Dr. Biegel is amazing. Even though I am from Canada and was leaving to return home shortly, Dr. Biegel found a way to fit me into his schedual and treat me on the remainder of my days in San Francisco. When I went into his office for the first time I could hardly walk and in three days I was able to resume regular activities. Dr. Biegel is extremely good at what he does, but he also takes time to treat you like a human being and is very empathetic to your situation. He calmed my fears about the pain I was in and took the time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. He is awesome!
