1st visit today. Staff was super friendly. They were able to provide me with an appointment the same day that I called, which I totally appreciate. Dr McBride was AWESOME! He took the time to take a complete assessment of the situation and after a couple of x-​rays explained to me exactly why I’m experiencing the lower back pain that I’m having. He showed me the x-​rays and pointed out how things should be aligned and where I’m out of whack. From there he did a few more assessments and treatments. By the end of the session I could already tell the difference and felt better when I left than I did when I came in. I’m looking forward to additional treatments which I know will get me back on track to being pain free. My thanks to everyone at SD Chiropractic Group.

I have been seeing Dr. Piranio for about 15 years and you cannot get better than this! He is very knowledgeable and what I like best is that he is calm. I have come in panicked not able to turn my head sideways and within a visit or two I am back to normal. I have sent friends and family in to see him as well and all of the reviews have been great!

I have to give my props to Dr. McBride. I was experiencing intense neck and upper back pain for weeks, to the point where I had to call off work, and lay low from the gym for some time. After seeing him, he was able to work out the kinks to where I’m fully functioning, and provide useful advice to avoid experiencing this type of pain again. He is very knowledgeable with what he does, and handles himself in a very professional manner. Will be coming back for any future chiropractic work. Thanks Doc!

I love this place! Both my husband and I go here. Chiropractic services from Dr. J after my pregnancy helped get my body back in alignment and relieve lower back pain. Been going here for years for massage services too. Won’t go anywhere else.

I discovered San Diego Chiropractic group a few years ago. Dr Piranio is the best around. He is very knowledgeable at what he does. The staff is always accommodating even when I call at the last minute with a killer migraine. I’ve had chiropractors in the past that were unable to adjust my neck or back because of how tight I was but Dr Piranio is always able to and I almost immediately feel some relief from my adjustment. I’m very grateful for Dr Piranio and his staff including the great massage therapist. So happy my husband and I found them, we are much happier and healthy because of Dr P! I recommend them to everyone!

I had a great experience going to this clinic. I recently injured myself at school, but Dr. McBride was great. I had a great experience. He knew exactly what the problem was and took the time to explain it to me. Will go back and recommend anyone.

I was referred to Dr. Piranio by a friend. I have been to a few quack chiropractors before so I was a bit skeptical. I was welcomed to the office by the front desk staff, who both have great personalities and are very helpful. Dr. P has great beside manner, and has magical hands with such a tender caress. He really is a miracle worker when it comes to the body. I went into his office very much out of alignment, which was causing a lot of tendinitis and pain running from my shoulder down through my elbow. Within a few visits I felt like a new man. I also receive ART from Dr. McBride and he is top-​notch. He has a very nice personality and is very knowledgeable about the body and how to get the muscles functioning properly. I’m a strength athlete (competitive powerlifter) so having people like this to keep me in good working order is a must. I refer everyone I know to these two and they have nothing by good things to report as well.

The receptionist was very informative and helpful when I called to make an appointment, but my experience with Dr. Mcbride is another story! His bedside manner was sloppy and when I told him he was putting me in pain he said it was to be expected with no further explanation and did not offer to change his movement type. i’ve been to dozens of chiropractors since I was in the army 20 years ago, and he is by far the worst, in results and personality. I would consider going back to this office if I saw a different, more knowledgable doctor in the office. But avoid Dr. Mcbride at all costs!

Never even met the Doctor. The receptionist on the initial phone call was very rude and uninviting… Not sure if I should actually commit and make the appointment. Don’t really want to deal with sour and bitter people.

Dr Frank Peranio is hilarious and has a great bed side manner. I was really nervous at first but Dr P knows exactly what he is doing. I was in pain for six months and then a friend finally convinced me to go see a chiropractor. After a few visits I had no pain in my SI joint. Now I just go for occasional maintenance to make sure I don’t get out of whack again. I go when I need it. My husband is now a patient and so are lots of friends and co-​workers. I highly recommend Dr P if you are having pain.

Dr. Piranio is awesome. He has been helping me with hip issues for over eight years. He is professional, caring, and hilarious!
The office staff is very nice as well.
Book a massage while you’re there, you won’t regret it.
Overall, this is a great place to take care of your chiropractic needs!

5 stars for Dr. Knepp. 1 star for the receptionist.
Dr. Knepp was very personable and made the chiropractic part of the visit very pleasant. No complaints here at all.
On the other hand, I had an awful experience with the receptionist. After my visit I was discussing the break down of my payment costs. Asking questions about insurance, etc. She was very short and rude with me. And she snatched my credit card out of my hand. Same with my insurance card. She was clearly in a rush to get out of there to go home, and took it out on me. This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable for someone in her position. It’s a shame because I thought Dr. Knepp was excellent.
I don’t think l will be going back.

I have seen many chiropractors over the years and I have to say that Dr. Piranio is one of the best. He is kind and caring and has a great sense of humor and his front office assistants always work to get you into the schedule within same day or two. He has worked on me and with me on taking care of an acute injury to my low back. The office also has a staff of massage therapists which is a definite plus…

Dr. Piranio is amazing!
I have been going to chiropractor’s for almost 30 years (since I was 7 years old), and this is the best and last Doctor of Chiropractic I will ever see. Dr. P is very knowledgeable of his practice. He is professional, patient, personable and works wonders on my back and neck problems. His office staff has always been professional, courteous and willing to work me into the schedule — including last minute appointments. The office is very efficent — i love that I am in and out in 15 minutes with a great adjustment.

I’ve been going to the chiropractors sense 2006. I moved to San Diego and needed a chiropractors after going to a few i didn’t like i found this place. I see Dr David Knepp. He is always friendly and listens to what is bothering me to make the best plan of action. The scheduling is easy to make. I even had to cancel last min and they were very understanding. Love this place i give it a 10 out of 10. Also mention Unilocal and you get a free 30 min massage (at least i did)

I started making appointments here a couple of years ago, and didn’t realize what an awesome find they were at the time. Dr. Knepp is terrific as my chiropractor, and I always go to Eddie for deep tissue therapy message. They accommodated me during my transition to a new medical insurer and have always been so polite and helpful. They recently upgraded to a cool automated touch screen check-​in system, which makes things really easy for me. Easy to see why everybody gives them 5 stars!

Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Piranio! I had a hip problem a few years ago that a MRI, two physical therapists and an orthopedic surgeon couldn’t diagnose. Dr. P did it with one x-​ray, and in one summer, he completely fixed the problem. If you are going to go to a chiropractor, pick this one

I own an auto repair shop and I am the sole mechanic, last week I was lifting a large tire off a truck and felt a sharp pain go down my left shoulder blade, so bad that for the first few hours it hurt to breathe or move my left arm at all, I was referred to Dr. Piranio and let me tell you if integrity and competence are things you value in a chiropractor look no further. He took me in the day before thanksgiving and checked me out told me I had popped a rib, he worked his magic and with a few cracks told me in a few days I would be 100% and if not to call him, That’s it – no lets xray you all over till you glow or come see me twice a week for 6months, Dr. P knows what he is doing and just as important will not recommend anything that is NOT needed. I couldn’t be happier, trust me I back to new again and would send anyone to see him! Thank you Dr. P you are the man!

I have struggled with migarines & chronic neck pain for several years. I had tried everything — muscle relaxers, physical therapy, etc. My doctor referred me to Dr. Knepp and he is wonderful. I’ve had the best result no migraines and the neck pain is not as bad.
Dr. Knepp has taught me exercises to help strengthen my back and neck. He is very friendly & informative which adds a personal touch.
