Chris MacChesney, DC

My treatment sessions are no more than 10 minutes. I don’t feel any relief at all. Whereas, other chiropractors spend at least 30 minutes tops to do each treatment.

I’ve been visiting Dr. MacChesney for several years now and he is truly an exceptional doctor. My issues have always been minor, mostly just a tweaked lower back here and there. But last Saturday ²⁄₂₀ I experienced the worst neck and upper back pain EVER. I went to Kaiser and nothing could be done for me other than being prescribed ibuprofen for the pain.
On Monday ²⁄₂₂ I was able to get a same day appointment with the doc in hopes that I could get any sort of relief. And boy, I was not disappointed. That one session literally made me feel a MILLION times better. After having the neck pain for almost a week. I went for a follow up yesterday 2/​26, since I still had a bit of lower back pain. And Dr. MacChesney worked his magic yet again.
Today, I’ve woken up feeling great and PAIN-​FREE. From the pain I suffered from a week ago, I did not think I’d ever get relief. I highly recommend San Leandro Chiropractic. They are very accommodating and I’ve never have had to wait long to get in for my appointment. THANK YOU DR. MACCHESNEY!

This review is not for the chiropractor but for the billing person. The main assistant is really professional, but the billing person is a nightmare. We all know billing people develop a bad attitude, but this one is sinister. Even the insurance person vented about her and warned me about possible problems based on her attitude.

Best Chiropractor I’ve ever been to, awesome he’s getting me back into tip top shape. The last place I went just rushed me in and out without explaining any of the procedures to me. I also always like doctor’s that serve hot tea and water, it’s a nice touch, heehee. They work around my schedule and I come a couple times a week, I’ve made great progress and have no complaints whatsoever. Thanks Dr. Mac!

Love, Love Dr MacChesney and his staff. Professional and caring. The doctor listens to your needs and works accordingly. I feel so much better. I highly recommend him.

RE-​IGNITED MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE.
Let me explain. I received less than stellar service from another clinic in San Leandro. Even with excellent insurance coverage, I had to pay a $ 100 deductible up front PLUS $ 25 co pay. The practitioner was too chatty and kept on promising massage services that never happened. This left a bad taste in my mouth and I was without a chiropractor for a whole year.
I decided to visit Dr. MacChesney’s clinic about a month ago. I wanted to make sure my insurance was accepted, and called the clinic. Elizabeth (Admin Assistant) was very helpful and booked me right away. Jorge (Medical Assistant) was very thorough in reviewing my history and explained that I would need X-​Rays before any treatment. You know what’s scary, I did not get any X-​Rays from the previous clinic. That should’ve been a RED FLAG.
On to the adjustments. I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse and I run 3 times a week. A recipe for spine disaster. Dr. MacChesney has a very pragmatic and no-​nonsense approach to his practice. He suggested that I visit twice a week, to take it easy, and gives tips on all around back wellness.
Here’s the icing on the cake. Calena, the Massage Therapist has magic wands for hands. Boulders I call shoulders turns to putty under her magical spell. You can have a 30min — 60 min treatment before or after your adjustment.
Parking is easy (street and free lot). Appointments are plentiful. This clinic is a gem.

Several months ago, I started experiencing some severe back and neck pain. Once I started getting regular headaches and problems sleeping from the pain, I decided to go find a local chiropractor. Thankfully, my work offers chiropractic insurance; I checked their website and found a number of local practitioners. I then looked them up on Unilocal,and Dr. MacChesney was the best rated one as well as the most convenient to my work and home.
Everything about this practice is very honest and professional. To the first phone call and consultation, to the subsequent exams and adjustments, Dr. MacChesney and his staff have been very up front about my condition and what needs to happen to get my body back to a pain-​free state.
I’ve been going 3 times a week for the last 2 months, and already I’ve seen a difference. The frequency of my headaches has decreased, as well as their severity. And while I still have some neck and back pain, it is not as bad as before. I expect that after my round of treatments, my body will be as good as new!
Every time I walk into the office, I’m greeting by one of the staff. They are always so positive and upbeat, which can be hard when their clientele often experience pain. I was so impressed by Dr. MacChesney and his team, I even got my wife to start treatment! I definitely recommend Dr. MacChesney to anyone who is looking for a chiropractor.

Dr. MacChesney is a consummate chiropractic professional, in every sense of the word. Let me explain.
When my back began flaring up last year, I didn’t know what to do. The pain was killing me and I told myself, Hey, you’re too young for back pain! Enter Dr. Mac. Not only did he go over my options in an initial visit, but he also (pressure-​free) explained to me how treatment could be structured to alleviate my issues.
I love this office. I am now a loyal patient. Thank you Dr. Mac!

I have been seeing Dr. McC off and on for about 6 years now… He is right on with his work. He’s there when you need him, and is honest enough to tell you to come back when NEEDED, not just to come back again and again like other Chiro’s I’ve been to. If you are a gym rat, this is your guy too. Even helped me with my rotator… No surgery please!

Dr. Mac is awesome. He truly is. Staff is great too.
I had to stop going though cause my insurance ran out. He wanted me in there twice a week, every week. I just can’t afford it. I felt guilty for quitting so I never called him to tell him why I stopped coming.
But if you need a good chiro in San Leandro, he certainly is.

Chris was great. I was familiar with chiropractic work already and Chris didn’t push me to sit through the movies etc. like other offices do. He then, quite efficiently, took me through about 40 minutes of physical testing and, thankfully, a first adjustment to help me lower back and pelvis. Wow. The experience is intense but it works. After two weeks suffering on my back with pain killers and heat pads, in just 3 visits, Chris had me walking pain free. Six weeks later and I am running again.
Works for me.

Dr. Mac is wonderful. Do your self and your body a favor and see him soon. He is über professional and if you get him in just the right mood he will make you laugh till your sides hurt and you need to be realigned ;)
