Paul Zuchowski DC

I have been a patient of Dr. Paul Zuchowski for over 12 years. When I first visited Dr Zuchowski, I had problems standing for more that 5 minutes due to a bike accident8 years prior. Consistent treatment has completely resolved my issue. I continue to get regular adjustments from Dr Zuchowski to enable me to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The staff is both friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Zuchowski for quality Chiropractic treatment.

Dr. Paul is a chiropractor who took the time to explain how and why I have suffered from migraine headaches for years. Understanding the reasons and how he could help with my headaches, I started care. Within weeks I was headache free! My praise and thanks go to Dr. Paul for giving me a headache free life. I would tell anyone who has suffered with migraine headaches to seek out Dr. Paul and get his insight and knowledge about just how chiropractic can help.

I highly caution anyone going to visit Dr Zuchowski. I accompanied my 80-​year-​old grandmother to see Dr Zuchowski last week. She had responded to his full-​page ad in the Mercury News. This appointment was to review the evaluation he conducted the week before and to share his recommendation.
We were greeted by a friendly receptionist and brought to a waiting room where we watched a video on the importance of the doctor-​patient relationship. I found it interesting we watched a video on this vs. having the conversation in person, but I kept an open mind.
Once we met with Dr Zuchowski, we were shown the results of her exam, along with two extremely fuzzy xrays that had been taken. He outlined the issues he saw in her xray and told us that the curvature and degeneration in her spine had nothing to do with her age. He also proceeded to tell us that the bone spurs she had on her vertabrae, along with degeneration could be completely cured. Here is where my skepticism began.
I questioned the safety of having adjustments made to an 80-​year-​old woman that is three months into a compression fracture in her back (2^nd one) as well as extensive osteoperosis. I was assured that this would not be an issue. I was told several times that he «didn’t want to sound arrogant, but that he knew more than medical doctors when it came to the spine».
After leaving our consultation twice to perform adjustments on patients, we were then presented with his 6-​month treatment plan that would run roughly $ 4,000. He said he could start right away with her paying in full with her credit card.
We left the appointment and I followed up with several doctors and physical therapists that all agreed that spinal adjustments on a woman in her demographic were a bad idea.
Even though he doesn’t have a website, published papers, or reviews, Dr Zuchowski claims to be very popular. There may be others that have found him helpful, but I found our experience extremely unsettling. I hate to see people taken advantage of, especially senior citizens.
