The best chiropractor! Thanks to Dr. Forest, I have headache relief and my scapula in check. Thank you for your great care.
Dr. Forest is very knowledgeable about injury recovery, uses precise diagnostics, and gets great results. Highly recommended!
My 9 months seeing Dr. Forest is the worst tragedy of my life. His belief that you can cure all the misalignments in the spine via the c1 is wrong and outdated, as is the notion that violence directed at the spine can resolve myofascial Issues, which many suffers have. One year of oesteopathy and 8 months of rolfing and cranial sacral later, and it's still not clear I can resolve or even survive ... More
My 9 months seeing Dr. Forest is the worst tragedy of my life. His belief that you can cure all the misalignments in the spine via the c1 is wrong and outdated, as is the notion that violence directed at the spine can resolve myofascial Issues, which many suffers have. One year of oesteopathy and 8 months of rolfing and cranial sacral later, and it's still not clear I can resolve or even survive the reversal of the trauma he did to my body, especially my head, spine, and myofascial system. Upper cervical chiropracty is based on false principles, outdated, and dangerous for people like me who go in with something else causing the c1 misalignment, such as a rib misalignment, which he doesn't look at and can't take into account.

Dr.Steven very kind person also Erica front desk girl is so nice & very helpful,
One of the great benefits of working for Dr. Forest is getting chiropractic care. My health overall has improved.
I've been going to Dr Forest for over 12 yrs & I literally don't know what I would do without him. He's helped me through so many issues with my back, neck, shoulders, dizziness, vertigo, tennis elbow, acid reflux, the list goes on. Trust me, just go see him & you'll see his life changing it is for yourself.
I have been seeing Dr. Forest for many years and he has helped me with my neck pain. I typically can feel when I need to go in for an adjustment. It is amazing that I can be put back into alignment just by working on my neck. He gave me some simple exercises to help with dizziness in the past and after having an xray recently I learned I had bone spurs in my neck. I have recommended Dr. Forest to... More

I’ve been seeing Dr Forest for years. His treatment and technique is far better than traditional, full spine, techniques. His upper cervical technique can cure or resolve many different illnesses. His office is easy to make appointments with (options to call, book online, or use his app- my preference). His generational experience makes me comfortable with his experience- he also teaches at a local college. I’d highly recommend him. Give this technique (upper cervical) a try. Your body will respond much better than other traditional techniques. Less

I had back pain from the age of 18 that changed location and intensity over several decades. When I met with Dr. Forest, he explained his process in a way that made sense to me. The experience of having Dr. Forest work only on my neck was amazing. Through the initial course of treatment, I clearly experienced changes that felt like progressively older kinds of pain and injury were being addressed. This continued until I had a mild recollection of what things felt like when I was 18. When that sensation was resolved, I knew my neck had stabilized. With Dr. Forest's help, I have learned to understand my neck and back. Now, I will only have an adjustment when I know I've done something to move things out of place. And the adjustments help in the way I expect them to. Less
No-nonsense chiropractic that can help treat migraines and neck pain.
Erica, who works the front desk is wonderful and very friendly! Dr. Forest is a great Chiropractor and also very friendly!
Dr. Forest was the sole practitioner who provided relief for the neck and head pains I had endured for five years; I highly recommend him

Jackie and I were always pleased with your service and caring. Jackie died in January and I've moved to Vallejo so please remove me from your database. Blessings.
I have seen Dr Forest for 12 years. I would recommend him to anyone. I love his office because it is straight forward and low key and calm. There is not lots of glitz. I feel comfortable and safe. Dr Forest is methodical and practical. As long as I go see him once a month I am pain free. Bodies are like cars. They need to be tuned up on a regular basis.

I had back pain for 2 years, then a friend told me about Dr Forest and how he had helped her. I am so grateful she did. Dr Forest has helped me tremendously.
Definitely don’t recommend the practice and the operation. Not happy with the adjustments at all with the neck pain. Later when had to pay the bill, emailed (have proof) to settle balance and no one responded. Next I heard is they send it to collections and directly goes on the credit report. Pls do not go here.
3 years ago I suffered from severe nerve pain that caused 40% loss of feeling and 60% loss of strength and coordination to the left side of my body. That left me not able to work in construction and suffering at home.

3 years ago I suffered from severe nerve pain that caused 40% loss of feeling and 60% loss of strength and coordination to the left side of my body. That left me not able to work in construction and suffering at home. The constant throbbing and burning like a knife that had sat in hot coals had been stabbed down through my trap into my shoulder blade. I suffered through too many sleepless nights, doctors appointments for 3 months with no relief, and no medication that would actually help the problem. I found Dr. Forest after seeing many doctors and thought maybe the problem I was having was not in my shoulder but my neck. He walked me through the process and my X-rays explaining exactly what the problem was and how we would attack it. I have been seeing Dr. Forest for many years and would recommend him to anyone that is having myalgia or nerve problems. I was able to get back to 100% quickly and continue to work in construction today! His experience and knowledge speaks for itself. I count myself lucky that I did not decide to just live with it and did something about it before the damage became permanent. If you are suffering, there is help! Less
I suffered from lower back and neck chronic pain for over 15 years and tried every treatment I could find including chiropractic, osteopathic, PT, injections, acupuncture, etc, then I discovered the Blair method. Through Dr Forest’s treatments I’m cured and can resume all activities pain free. He is a wonderful and compassionate person. It is also super easy to get an appointment.
Dr Forest's skills have given me my life back. I used to have migraines almost every other day. I am a difficult patient (LOL I am sure he would agree!), have had many traumas over the years and had to be reexamined, xrayed,etc He always knows what to do, is patient and a problem-solver. This technique, with a set of skilled hands, also performs miracles!
Dr. Forest is a great doctor dedicated to serving his community with specific, individualized care. We are fortunate to have him with so few upper cervical chiropractors in the area.
Excellent care and helped fix sever neck pain. Dr Forest is one of the best.
Dr. Forest is excellent at what he does. I’ve been seeing him on and off for over thirty years. Each time I’m in pain and discomfort he heals me. He is highly skilled. Doesn’t talk too much but sure knows what the hell he is doing.

I love going to Dr Forest. My back feels so much better after I visited him. With work schedule, it’s hard for me to keep my regular appointments. I love that he is very accommodating. Thank you Dr for Forest. You are the best!!!
Dr. Forest is a very professional kind man who has really helped my husband and me for our separate treatments. He’s always accommodating and helpful.
I have been going to Dr Forest for two years now and what a difference!
Dr Forest is a wonderful chiropractor. I come in with an issue and he is very helpful in resolving my discomfort. I will continue to drive from South San Jose to his office for Upper Cervical adjustments.

Dr. Forrest is very knowledgeable of the spine and how it affects our health. He is very patient and explains in detail the issues you may be having. I’ve had difficulties with dizziness and head pressure for a while. When I found his practice it was life changing. Seriously. I would recommend anyone who is thinking of a chiropractic visit to see Dr. Forrest. You may not think his technique is effective when you are being treated, but I have found it to be better than a typical chiropractor. It’s a simple adjustment of the neck. No cracking or popping. But you will be shocked at the difference it makes on your health over the course of the treatment. Less

I had headaches and tight neck and shoulders for months, maybe longer, constantly. I felt an underlying state of miserable. In October 2018, I was getting very dizzy after bending over and coming up. It was terrifying especially since I am a yoga teacher and active exerciser. I thought I had vertigo. I almost passed out a couple of times. Seems like it went away but in November 2018, I started waking up with numb arms and aching fingers. I finally decided to do something about it and consulted with my general practioner, who took xrays of my neck. Her assessment "xray showed reversal of normal cervical curvature suggestive of muscle spasm." She recommended taking it easy with yoga classes, rest and to visit again if I still have neck pain, headache and/or dizziness. I believe this was a correct assessment. I got a neck massage and the very skilled practioner believed that my atlas (C1, the top vertebrae that the skull sits on) might be off and that I should see a neck specialist. I investigated this idea of a cervical spine specialist because it made sense to me and through my research on the internet found Dr. Forest. He is trained in the Blair chiropractic technique. I'd like like to add that I've seen chiropractors in the past for spine and neck alignment. I am not fond of neck alignments. I was pleased to experience that the adjustments I receive from Dr. Forest aren't like a regular chiropractor. There is no cranking of the head to adjust the neck. Your adjustments with him may be different. By the way, his xrays show more than the xrays I'd gotten from my general practioner. His assessment will be more detailed. I had my first neck adjustment on 12/11/18, the date of this review is 1/24/19 (6 weeks later), my headaches aren't as severe, some days I don't have a headache at all! There is no longer numbness in my arms when I wake up. While the knuckles in my hands still ache, that has lessened. I have followed all of Dr. Forest's advise: how often to see him for adjustments, post adjustment recommendations and how to hold the adjustment. I will continue to see him even though I feel better. Likely, if you are reading this, you are having issues. Get an xray from Dr. Forest. See what is going on. You deserve to feel your very best. Good luck! Less

If you haven't tried upper cervical chiropractics, you really have know idea what you are missing. This is a different form of treatment than any other chiropractics. Dr. Forrest is one of the best, really knowledgeable. Caring and compassionate also. If youre in pain give this a try
Dr Forest and his staff are the best! Dr Forest is a very good chiropractor and has helped me get my spine better aligned, my friends even commented that my posture improved a lot as I was known for being a hunchback. He is also very caring and always cheerful, always a joy to drop by. Highly recommended
Dr Forest is an amazing person and Chiropractor. He has been taking care of my spine for years. Without his help I don't think I would be functional today.
Upper cervical adjustment can fix anything! Feeling relieved �.
The best anxiety reduction for body pain.
