Bewell Chiropractic Clinic

Was my first visit with Dr Yoo today — bright and early at 9 am:) really happy that he is open on Saturdays, since with my commute schedule, it’s really the only day I can come in. Was very impressed with His service: very knowledgeable and thorough! I didn’t need x-​rays and the ending with the magnetic and heat therapy was a perfect wrap up to the treatment. Look forward to continuing my visits with Dr Yoo (his assistant and front desk staff are very friendly and professional too, which definitely enhances the experience!)

I had never been to a chiropractor but I’m glad I went with Dr. Yoo for my first experience. I had been dealing with neck pain for several months and after the first visit he was able to locate a misalignment and put everything back in to place. Very helpful suggestions to keep the pain away as well.
They’re open Saturdays too so it’s very convenient!

I grew up going to chiropractors, though I hadn’t been to one in about 5 years. Dr. Yoo’s office has been really great for my husband and I. We easily found the office through ZocDoc, and were able to schedule an appointment the next day! He is extremely professional and has a lot of experience for a younger doctor. His staff is friendly and helpful.
We didn’t need x-​Rays as the doctor knew just from feeling and from our description how to treat us. He didn’t sign us up for a long series of appointments – about four over one month, with take-​home physical therapy stretches and exercises. I also really like that after the adjustments there is a 20-​minute session with electro-​therapy and stimulation for the adjusted areas. It creates a wholistic and worthwhile experience!
Sometimes there isn’t enough room in the waiting room, but it isn’t a big problem because people are willing to wait and shuffle around. I wish I knew about this chiropractor sooner, because I would have come starting two years ago!

Dr. Yoo and the staff are very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to figure out what was going on with me very quickly after hearing some of my symptoms and about the injury I got while in the army. Definitely planning on coming back even after my suggested treatment time.

The care I received at Be Well was excellent. Dr. Yoo clearly explained how he would treat the symptoms I was experiencing and within the first few visits, I noticed a huge improvement. His staff is incredibly friendly as well!

Came with my wife this morning. While there was a bit of wait to be seen, the doctor was very helpful and really helped her with her back pain. He explained the problem and made us feel confident that her condition was very treatable through regular stretching and visits.

This is one of the best clinics i have ever been to!
Dr Yoo is very professional. I always visit whenever I have an injury. I took my Sister and Brother and they are happy with the treatment.
Always there when you need them and the staff is friendly!

Dr. Yoo is amazing. Aside from his excellent medical knowledge he puts your mind at ease by patiently listening to all your health issues, which I think is a luxury in today’s health care system. He makes his diagnosis and explains everything in simple terms. This put me at ease immediately. A huge part of recovery has to do with your state of mind and he instills trust on confidence.
I went in for a severe ankle sprain and was unable to walk for 2 weeks. After 3 days of treatment, I was able to walk without pain.
Lastly, the staff here is very friendly and the medical assistants explain all treatments step by step. Seeing a smiling face when you’re not feeling great puts me in a great place and headed towards a speedy recovery. I would recommend Dr. Yoo’s clinic to anyone with musculoskeletal issues.

Dr Yoo was very professional and knowledgeable. I could feel the differences with my first treatment/​visit. I have visited other chiropractors before but Dr. Yoo has been the most wonderful and gave me a relief that I needed. Also staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

I went to Dr. Won Yoo’s office for treat because I was in a lot of pain. His office told my wife, who also speaks Korean, that there was an X-​ray cost of $ 100 and treatment cost of $ 100 (we were told this price was lower than the inflated price they bill insurance companies). Because I previously had X-​rays earlier that week, I told my wife I would not pay for another one. When we arrived at Dr. Won Yoo’s office and the nurses were friendly and helpful. When I asked about the price they told me the doctor would tell me. I was expecting $ 40, $ 60, or $ 100 for the treatment.
No one told us about the full price and schedule until after the treatment. Apparently, when I told the doctor I didn’t want to pay for X-​rays, he still charged me for talking to me about the spine and checking my knee reflexes. Apparently he normally charges a few hundred for that.
During the treatment the part that hurt the most, between my shoulder blades and kept me from breathing… apparently he wasn’t strong enough to crack it
I left the office feeling okay, but about an hour later I was back in pain and now short $ 200. It wasn’t a pleasant experience for (accepting one nurse).
Since then I tried calling him to talk about it but the doctor refuses all calls from the get-​go, and hides behind his nurses at all levels.
What kind of doctor fights his customers (through his nurses) and resists all logic just for a few dollars?
It is unethical, and illegal to refuse to tell a customer a cost and spring any bill desired on them even with signed documents, especially while the client is in pain.
I certainly would not recommend this doctor to anyone who needs chiropractor «care».
Kevin–

I am a recreational athlete which being active is very important to me (running, hiking, biking, triathlons, and more). Over the course of a few years of I developed a severe case of bunion. My previous foot doctor, injected three times but the issue got worse as a thick scar tissue was build around the bunion. I went to Dr. Yoo as a last resort before doing a bunion surgery. I really want to delay or avoid surgeries as much as possible. Over the course of 2 months, Dr. Yoo worked on my foot by breaking down the scar tissue, applying micro currents as well as laser therapy. Then we kicked back to once or twice a weeks. I managed to go on a two week hiking trip in Patagonia without much issues (~75m of trekking). Now, I started running again and working my way to a Marathon in April 2013. I highly recommend this practice either in Oakland or San Francisco.

Not only is Dr. Yoo a wonderful chiropractor and doctor, but his staff is wonderful as well. They know pretty much every one by their first and last name, and they make you feel comfortable. They tell you what they are doing every step of the way, and it is very reassuring. I went to Dr. Yoo on account of a car accident, and he took care of my injuries. I would recommend him to anybody.

Dr Yoo has been my «go-​to» person whenever I have any injuries for past 7 – 8 years I have known him. I have this unfortunate tendency to make my injuries get far worse before finally deciding to visit a doctor — although I’m finally starting to admit my body no longer heals itself as it did say 10 – 20 years ago. I have to thank him for not only treating various injuries I left untreated for too long, but also educating me about ways to rehab and strengthen my joints/​muscles/​spine. I had my ankle injury (which had started climbing up my knee and my back), sprained neck, and badly hyperextended elbow treated by him at different times, and not only those parts were back to 100% pretty quickly, but they all eventually became stronger than even before the injuries thanks to the rehab exercises he recommended.
He has always been very professional, polite and honest, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Yoo’s treatments is excellent! This exceptionally skilled Bay Area chiropractor helped me immensely after my car accident. After a long and caring exam, he explained clearly and fully what was going on in my body. His gentle treatments eased my pain and my worry. Not only is the doctor friendly and welcoming, but so is his office staff. I am so happy I chose Dr. Yoo, and recommend him extremely highly.

the staff are very polite and the explanation given are very clear. i have scoliosis and there was exercise given to me to help with my healing process which was not given to be by a doctor i had seen before.
