Shapero Chiropractic

Dr. Shapero quickly moved me out of pain, and has been a great partner along my journey to better health, coaching, teaching and educating me about my body and the underlying issues causing my back pain. One of the hallmark’s of Doctor Shapero’s practice is to get you back on your feet and enjoying the activities you love, and has helped me make regain mobility and assume a more active lifestyle. He has a great office team who are courteous and helpful, and scheduling has been very flexible and easy. Dr. Shapero’s kind and easy-​going bedside manner is a joy; I enjoy coming in for my treatments, and most importantly, I no longer feel condemned to a life of back pain.

Dr. Shapero is a great guy and in the couple months that I’ve been going to him for back and neck adjustments I’ve finally felt relief physically and mentally.
I’ve been going to the gym for years and I’ve had other chiropractors help me reset my body with back and neck relief, but Dr. Shapero has really impressed me with the level of detail that he provides before you even start the sessions as well as the attitude and approach he takes with each session. My shoulders and neck no longer feel stiff and my body overall is more fluid and feels great. Expect great service, an awesome experience and a more informed understanding of your body and what you can do to help yourself feeling great. I also have to mention that Suzie who coordinates all of the appointments rocks as well — she is always accommodating, polite and there to answer any questions very quickly!

Unbelievable. Quoting Dr. Shapero, «Dude… Your neck is glued in place!» I am a very active 30-​something, playing rugby, basketball and boxing. I have caused a lot of damage over the years through a variety of sports. The two most damaging were caused by sport related injuries to my spine. My day to day life revolved around ignoring pain levels of 8 – 9.
After the first visit I regained full range of motion in my right shoulder. Two weeks in, Doc barely had to touch me to make adjustments. Three weeks in and my neck was no longer a hardened lump of who knows what. The pain is a long forgotten memory of the past. I feel better and stronger. My body responds the way it was meant to.
Of all the chiropractors I’ve seen over the years, he is the first to have me feeling so good. I don’t have to remind him what needs to be adjusted. He explains the process, how it works and how my body is expected to respond. Each appointment is a period of relaxing the body and making adjustments. I’ve never felt rushed or pushed out. Dr. Shapero has a passion for his work and it shows.

Dr Dan is like the David Blaine of Chiropractic — this man has tricks! As a self proclaimed «connoisseur of chiropractic» I have been adjusted by over 25 chiros in my life and Dr. Shapero is just the best. I have a problem with my sacrum (basically tailbone) and the vast majority of chiros absolutely cannot get my spot (my pain is literally in my butt — which has resulted in several chuckles between Dr. S and I!!) Dr. Shapero has the skill to adjust me precisely where I need it and the result is amazing — I will walk in with a painful and stiff/​tight left butt cheek/​hip and walk out with it resolved as Dr. S puts me back in line and stops the pressure on my nerves that causes the pain and tightness in my butt and hip. I would be in complete misery if I didn’t have Dr. S in my corner whenever I get really out of alignment. Even when I am not having any episodes he delivers high quality adjustments every time and I cannot recommend him highly enough! Unlike other sales-​y chiros you can tell Dr. S just really wants to make you feel better — and he does! What really blows me away is when I am really tight and having trouble getting adjusted in a certain area Dr. S pulls out his bag of tricks: i. e he applies pressure to «tender points» or referral points like pressing on the top of my abdomen to relax my hip or even putting a glove on his hand and pressing a point inside my mouth to relax my neck and by golly these tricks work! He gets a great adjustment out of whatever segment was giving us trouble. I don’t even know what or how he does it but I sure am glad he does! Thanks Dr. Dan!

Doctor Dan is The Man! I’ve other chiropractors and none had the skill, knowledge, or great attitude that this guy does. You can tell by how he does his practice that he really cares.
Others I’ve known will just suspend your pain so you keep coming back forever. This man wants to heal you. Great for athletes and laymen-​folk alike; Doctor Dan is your guy!

Personable. Supportive. Effective.
After my assessment and X-​rays, Dr Shapero explained his findings in a way I could understand. He left me feeling at ease and motivated to do what I can to improve my back and neck.
I have seen him 3 times a week for months now; he is always attentive and easy to talk with.
He has a table that works on my neck, another table that works on my lower back, and his adjustments go smoothly.
I’m a tall guy. I have been to several chiropractors, all of whom were effective, and yet, there’s something about Dr Shapero being even taller than me, and having big hands. His adjustments make a difference. Whatever he’s doing, it’s working.

I highly recommend Dr Shapero, he cares about his patients and works with you on overall health goals. His office is great with scheduling appointments and you really can see the difference each appointment.

This is an update to my earlier really good review to now say how GREAT Dr. Shapero is. I had been unable to come in for a number of weeks due to a variety of reasons (including the holidays) and found myself suddenly in a good bit of accumulated pain. Over the past 3 weeks he’s been able to get me back on track and pain free! I don’t know how I could recommend anyone more highly.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Dan for years now and I’ve had a great experience! I’d say I have a fairly healthy back. But I understand how important it is to have maitenance as I have a desk job and unfortunately sit a lot of the time. From time to time, I feel myself get tight or even tweak my neck and I know it’s time to see Dr. Dan.
What I like most:
— he always takes the time to explain what the process is and why he is making the reccommendations that he is making.
— he never bugs you to come in and never suggests a longer treatment course than is necessary.
— he has fabulous ‘bedside’ manner. Always jovial and friendly.
Thanks Dr. Dan!

I’ll make it simple, go to Dr. Dan if you’re even thinking you may want to see a chiropractor. His skills and down to earth personality make this the best medical experience I’ve had in San Francisco.
I’m 22, so when I went to Dan I figured it’d be to crack my back and I’d be out of there. He takes his time to evaluate his patients, and, turns out I had scoliosis in a bad way.
He provided a treatment plan and after completing it I can say I went from feeling like something was always wrong to feeling much stronger. Dan is awesome, please let him help you also.

Dr. Shapero is the best. I was a decent golfer before seeing him, but I had chronic back pain. After seeing him, I shaved about 5 to 7 strokes off my scorecard, hit the ball 30 yards further, and most importantly, I am no longer in pain. He is a miracle worker and a great person as well, highly recommend Shapero Chiropractic!

This man is talented. Some chiropractors don’t really adjust you. I love popping — feel like I’m getting my money’s worth. Felt much better walking out than walking in. He is also a really good communicator!

I came in with shoulder pain and muscle stiffness stemming from past injuries. They walked me through the basics of chiropractic care, and created a treatment program that worked with my time and budget. Since getting adjusted, the pain has lessened and I feel more flexible each day!

Have to thank Dr Dan Shapero! I’ve had problems with my back and had a hunchback (or as Mr Shapero official term Kyphosis) since my early teen years. I started working with Dr Shapero on adjusting my back along with improving my posture. Overall I’ve seen change since starting my treatment with Dr Shapero. My back is alining and I have more energy! Thanks Dr Shapero!

Hey, If I could give this guy eleven stars I would! Long story short, he saved me from having to have neck surgery. Neck Surgery! I can’t say enough so I will spare you the details. If you are in pain Dr. Dan can probably help you.

Dr. Dan is great! I started seeing him about two years ago because of terrible headaches that I couldn’t get rid of (tried all sorts of things for ~3 weeks before visiting him). After starting with Dr. Dan, the headaches finally went away!
Not only is he a great chiropractor, he’s also a really funny/​nice person.

Dr. Dan is great! I initially started going to him when I was experiencing neck and upper back pain and stiffness. Since seeing Dr. Dan that has gone away and I feel way more aware of my posture. I find him to be very professional and courteous and my appointments are always on time and predictable in terms of how long I expect to be in the office. Thanks for all your help Dr. Dan!

I am not prone to hyperbole, so believe me when I say my experience with Dr. Shapero was an unprofessional nightmare. I have never had a more terrible experience with a doctor or service provider of any sort. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY!
Bottom Line:
— Dr. Shapero is rude, offensive, and disrespectful. He has a terrible bedside manner and is quite shifty about discussing chiropractic work in general
— His whole office is incredibly poorly run. Expect a significant wait, frequent cancellations, and a constant change up of staff
I was referred to Dr. Shapero by an acquaintance. I had never been to a chiropractor before and was looking forward to some relief from substantial back/​muscle pain. My first appoinment Dr. Shapero was incredibly harried and flustered. While it was off putting it was understandable that at times a busy doctor would have these moments. However, before he started working on my back, I simply asked «what exactly are you going to do» to which he responded testily:
«You know what, I don’t have time for this right now, if you want to ask questions you’ll have to do it later because I’ve got a lot of patients waiting»
A doctor unwilling to answer the simple question of what they will be performing on a person, and in such a rude, dismissive, and defensive manner, sets off all sorts of alarm bells for me. I would not trust this man with anything, particularly not my healthcare.
As a sidenote, his office is also incredibly poorly run so for anyone who wants to be confident their appointments will be honored and on time, this is not the place for you. I had a scheduled massage as part of the welcome consultation: My massage was cancelled 3 times, all with day-​of calls just hours before the scheduled appointment. When I finally was able to get into the office without a cancellation, there were two other people scheduled for different but overlapping appointment times. I ended up having to wait 30 minutes for my appointment to start, and the man after me just had his cancelled all together.

Dr. Shapero is amazing! He is caring and thorough and has amazing bedside manner. You will not regret your decision to visit Dr. Dan…

Dr. Dan is the Man. I discovered him because many of my co-​workers go to him and he has done health talks for my office. I didn’t have any debilitating pain when I went to him, but I sit for an ungodly amount of hours per day for my commute and job, so just wanted to get everything checked out and back in alignment.
After an initial x-​ray, I’ve been getting adjusted a couple times a week for about 2 months now. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Shapero. He has a great bed-​side manner and is great at what he does. I always feel a sense of calm and well-​being after an adjustment. I know some people may be nervous to see a chiropractor what with all the neck/​back cracking going on, but I have always trusted Dr. Shapero and have never left his office in pain. The trick to a good adjustment is being relaxed and trusting your chiropractor and he always puts me at ease.
Dr. Shapero’s receptionist, Fabi, always has a smile for you and is very accommodating in scheduling appointments, even via email. I do wish they were open 5 days a week, but the doc sees other patients in another location, so I understand he can’t be two places at once. Another awesome thing is that, shockingly (for a doctor), my appointments always seem to happen on time, if not early sometimes. I really appreciate this as sometimes I’m running over on my 30 minute lunch break and I always make it back with plenty of time.
