McDuff Chiropractic Center

Dr. McDuff is amazing. My husband was a total non-​believer, but after almost a year of him having trouble getting out of bed in the morning due to back pain and being very grouchy ALL the time due to the pain I insisted he give it a try. He has been to the orthopedist and Internist with no results for his back, save heavy duty drugs when it’s really bad and it’s not practical for daily control of pain. But after just ONE appointment with Dr. McDuff his pain was greatly reduced. He’s been going for over a month now and the pain is not completely gone, but he says on a scale of 1 – 10 he stays at about a 2 or 3. Although he’s still a skeptic (I don’t think that will ever change!) he says, «I don’t know WHY it works, but man, it WORKS.»

Before seeing Dr. McDuff, I had been in severe back and neck pain for many years. All my doctor would do is give me more Vicodin. I was taking the maximum of 3 every day or about 84 per month. So much that I it made me sick, I had trouble eating or doing anything that required a brain.
My first session with Dr. McDuff relieved my pain greatly. After the first week, I was able to cut my Vicodin dosage to twice a day. After the first month, I was able to cut it to 1 per day. Now, after a couple months, I only take about 2 a week.
Yes, I am very satisfied with Dr. McDuff and would recommend him to my friends.

Peter, has help me and my family through many years of injuries and health issues. We call him our primary Doctor. I can not say enough good things about him as a person, his service and overall knowledge and caringI have numerous stories of health and healing and will share in the coming months. Today I just wanted to share a review today because it is long over due. I highly recommend Peter McDuff

I see Peter every month. I’ve been going for years as I had chronic migraine-​like headaches from a bad car accident.
Unlike most chiropractors, Peter specializes in neurology. There is so much more he that he does than the average chiro, and if you’ve not had the full success you want from your current provider (if you have one), please see Peter. Headaches, eye issues, etc. are things he can deal with. My son was having trouble in school, and Peter showed how his vision was affected by some odd blind spots that would make it hard to see things directly across a room.

Dr. McDuff is an absolute miracle worker!
I first was introduced to him when I got a holiday coupon from a coworker. I figured, why not, I had never been to a chiropractor before. I have struggled with back and neck pain for years, due to 6 ½ years of competitive cheerleading, but I figured it was just something I would have to live with. Not only did Dr. McDuff provide me with relief from my chronic pain, but he also explained everything he was doing, and provided me with instructions and insight on how to help myself outside of his office. Not only will crack your back and your neck, he realigned my whole body, hips, knees, elbows, feet; you name it! He works not just to crack your back, but to realign you so that your body actually functions better. He improved my circulation, no more cold feet! When you talk to him, it is clear that he knows what he is talking about, and when he works on you he puts that knowledge to practice. Every time I left his office, I left feeling at least 10 x better than I felt going in. The most interesting thing about his magic is that he can look at you, press a point on your body that you didn’t even realize was sore, asking «does this hurt» and then HE’D FIX IT! I never knew you could have pain in your ribcage due to your back.
I recently moved out of the area and was distraught that I cannot visit him anymore; I can already feel the neck pain setting back in
So basically, if you want relief from your back/​neck/​body pain, and you want a doctor who knows his stuff, Dr. McDuff is your answer. Give him just one visit and I promise you will be back again!

I cannot believe that I am experiencing relief of my arthritic knees after series of laser therapy treatments from Dr. McDuff. No one could have told me I would feel so litte pain in my knees after just a few treatments! I so recommend this kind of therapy for anyone with arthritus. I can walk up and down steps without torture. I can stand all day and work without pain in my knees. WooHoo for Dr. McDuff and this therapy. Folks, it is the best!

Dr. McDuff is great!
I gave him only four stars due to the distance that I drive to see him.
Whenever I need help, he is the first person that I turn to. He has never failed to help me. As a chiropractor myself, I can see anyone here in Pleasanton for free. I still drive up for Peter every time.

There isn’t enough I can say about how wonderful doctor Mc Duff is. He is absolutely dedicated to his patience and takes tiem to get to know you. Thanks to him, a long time neck kink isn’t nagging me all day, and I just plain feel better all around. Because of his specialty in neurology he can also help your brain function more effectively, and who doesn’t need that?! I also feel that he is very reasonably priced at $ 55 per treatment.
In past experiences I’ve had chiropractors who seem very very pushy when it comes to treatment and can leave you wondering if you’re really making any progress. Dr McDuff explains things and tries many different approaches to «fix» the problem, not just the same dang adjustment everytime. Sure, sometimes, you need that, but other times, your body may need more. and he takes the time to figure it out and get it right! He doesn’t make you feel bad about things either, there are no guilt trips involved here, just a sincere desire to help. I’ve never had another medical professional care as much as he does.
He’s also just an all around GOOD guy and fun to be around. I am a oyal patient, and though I now live more than an hour away, I still find a way to get to Dr McDuff, it is more than worth it!
He’d be a GREAT doctor for a first time chiropractic treatment because of his gentle approach, so if you’ve been wondering whether chiropractics could help you, I promise, you need to at least TRY it once. If you’ve been to other chiro’s, I strongly believe you’d never go to anyone else after you meet Dr McDuff.
Having said all that, just please don’t take up ALL his appointments, I need one too! :^)

If you are looking for a medical professional that will help you with pain (neck, back, knee, headaches etc) you need to see Dr. Peter McDuff at the McDuff Chiropractic Center.
I have been a patient of Dr. Peter McDuff for close to 8 years. I first came to him on a referral from Kaiser Hospital. Prior to seeing him, I had lived with chronic back pain and headaches from a car accident for over 20 years. I had seen many medical doctors and even another chiropractor. But unfortunately, they were unable to help with the pain (they just prescribe a lot of drugs). When I first met Peter, the first thing I noticed, beside his friendly demeanor, was that he actually listened to me. There was no rush to make an adjustment or get me in/​out of his office. He took the time to really listen to my symptoms and gather my medical history. Through his treatments and advice, I have been able to eliminate the chronic pain, strengthen my neck and back and most importantly get rid of these headaches (yeah). As equally important, I can now sleep without the neck and back pain (another really big YEAH).
The other thing I like about Peter is his knowledge about the human body. He continually stays updated on new advances in chiropractic medicine, neurology and holistic health. He then transfers this knowledge and shares it with his patients as well as others via seminars in the community.
Dr. Mc Duff is excellent chiropractor and I give him my highest recommendation. I have referred many people to his office and they have been satisfied customers. He continues to care (really care) for his patients and I promise you, if you visit him, he will help you with your pain too.

«Dr. McDuff has healing hands and I don’t trust anyone else with my chiropractic needs. He is my doctor forever! Thank you Dr. McDuff!»
–Glory J.

I have been a patient of Dr. McDuff for more than five years. During that time he has continued his education and it sure has benefited me. I have degenerative discs in my cervical spine and couldn’t function without his continuing care.
I trust Dr. McDuff implicitly and have referred family and friends. I cannot say enough positive things about him. He is truly compassionate and kind… He is my chiropractor for life.

Doc Pete is the best in what he does. He is always on top on the latest treatment for your system, very personable and professional. i highly recommend any of my family or friends to visit him. You will not be disappointed.

I can’t say enough good about McDuff Chiropractic.
After several weeks of pain and diminished mobility following a bicycle accident, I started seeing Dr. McDuff on the recommendation of my trainer. I noticed a difference immediately! After a series of treatments I had full range of motion back in my shoulder and upper arm.
I’ve continued to see him over the past few years with great results.
Peter takes his time w/​his appointments, cares about his patients and is responsive to their concerns. He’s constantly learning and expanding his skills and is very committed to his practice. Additionally, he’s just a nice guy.
I recommend him very highly!

Dr McDuff is above the rest. His emphasis on neurology, balance and posture have been very helpful to me. I’ve suffered with back issues for over forty years and no one has helped me to stay active like he has.

Wow, cannot say enough about this fantastic Chiropractor. Just love the time Dr. McDuff spends investigating all aspects of my body’s function to figure out what’s not in sync. (Some days it feels like nothing is in sync.)Right now my medical doctor has mentioned hip replacement surgery — no way– so I’m working with Peter to cease any further hip damage. His laser treatments & adjustments are helping. Mobility has improved. One thing I admire is that Peter tells it like he sees it.

I’ve known Dr. McDuff for a little over a year now and I have been going to him for almost half of that. I have tried another chiropractor before but I found that D. McDuff has very good attention to detail and makes the proper adjustments. He asks a lot of questions which I feel is really important especially if it’s the first time that he’s seeing you.
I always feel a lot better whenever I walk out of his office. I used to have this knot on my mid back that always flares up whenever I sit down for too long while holding my back straight. As soon as I started coming to him, that knot has not come back. Not to mention that he also gave me an exercise to do on my own to help maintain the adjustment and my back pain does not flare up in between visits.
I highly recommend Dr. McDuff if you need any type of adjustment or need to figure out what’s causing you pain, etc.
