Being seeing Dr Chau since 1996. Came to him on my hands and knees, he took X-rays and I came back the next day and walked out of his office walking. The most humble and honest man I’ve ever known. He sees it as it is and tells it as it is. Thank you for keeping me walking all these years. Gob bless.

I have attended Dr. Chau for many years and I have always found him most excellent. Recently I had a problem with neck pains mostly at night. The pain could be quite severe. I went to my medical Dr. who sent me for neck Xrays - I had 5 Xrays taken. On the next Medical Drs visit he went over the Xray reports and although there were irregularities but nothing of concern given my age of 79. He suggested that I continue to use Vitaren compounded cream and to see a Physio Therapist if the problem continued. That's when I went to see Dr. Chau. I should note that I had called Dr. Chau's office originally but had been advised to see a Medical Dr. as I had a stroke 7 years ago - all as a precaution measure. I had a treatment with Dr. Chau and he found I was out of alignment. After that one treatment my problem was solved and NO more pain whatsoever. Dr. Chau is wonderful. He is truly gifted and takes such great care in his treatments. Thank you so much.

I have been referred to Dr. Chau by one of my therapists. Later I have heard about him from co-workers and from acquaintances. As his initial fees were quite beyond what I expected to spend, I opted seeking help from other therapists and Doctors. When years went by, with me bouncing from one type of treatment to another, with only temporary relief, and with my condition worsening and becoming excruciating, I re-evaluated my priorities and called Dr. Chau's office for an appointment. I was leery after the first treatment, as it was subtle and gentle, nothing at all what I expected, but I persevered as I already have been to many treatments without success. It wasn't an immediate fix, it took few treatments before I noticed an improvement. Now that I have fully recovered, I wondered why it took me long long time in deciding to see him. It could have spared me all those suffering. I am glad that I was able to find a doctor who could fix me, and also thankful to the people who directed me to him.

Dear Dr. Chau,

For me, it will be the nicest holiday season of the year and when I add all the "good" things together, you are the main reason for it. You not only restored my belief if there are good professional Doctors, who not only make promises, but also make a patient feel good and help to make these ugly pains disappear. Not only can I recommend you to others like me, but I like to take this opportunity of Christmas to say my hearty thanks to you. It is a pleasure to visit your office and receive a warmth of welcome from your secretary. She is the best by far I got to know. How lucky I am!

Your thankful,
W. D.

I have suffered from neck pain on and off for 20 years and more recently lower back pain due to Degenerative Disc Disease. Both conditions were greatly aggravated by being involved in a rear end car accident last year. I was frequently having muscle spasms in my lower back, experiencing many headaches and a general feeling of fatigue. I was referred to Dr. Chau by my massage therapist who has seen great benefits from NUCCA techniques administered to her patients. At first I was hesitant because of the costs involved for consult and diagnostic X-rays but I really wanted to feel better and decided to look at an investment in my body. I have never looked back!

Dr. Chau has helped me immensely with his gentle chiropractic technique and has helped educate me in being aware of my everyday movements that may cause me to regress in my treatment. During my first treatment I could not help but wonder if I would be helped by the treatment. My adjustment was so gentle that it only felt like a quick but mild pressure being applied to my neck but I felt immediate improvement in my posture when I stood up to leave. After several treatments my headaches have gone away and my lower back feels much more stable and does not spasm anymore. I feel much more energetic and in control of my life!

Thank you Dr. Chau for helping feel like myself again!

Sincerely,

Sue M.

I agree with these last two reviews on Dr. Peter Chau. I saw him for a period of two months and one of my visits was on a Friday. When he adjusts the cervical area, he lowers the head rest in order to adjust, after adjustment, he raises the head rest and leaves you in the room for a period of time. One time he inadvertently forgot to raise the head rest before leaving the room, leaving my head in this downward position. Later that day, my neck was so sore I could not move my head from side to side and the pain for the duration of the weekend was unbearable. I called his office first thing Monday morning to get into to see him asap, which I was able to. I told Dr. Chau that I was in excruciating pain all weekend and I feel it was because he forgot to raise the head rest on Friday leaving my head in that downward position for too long. I asked him if I was to pay for that appointment and he said, "Yes, have a nice day" and walked out the door! The man shows no compassion whatsoever and showed me that it is all about $ to him. My advice to anyone looking at seeing any professional is to see if they have compassion. Dr. Chau is not one of compassion!

This will be my first ever review on a medical doctor, and there is a reason.
I started to see Dr. Peter Chau 5 months ago. I am in my early 20's recovering from bulging disc injury. Let's just say, his treatments had helped me increase back flexibility but led to increase stiffness and pain in my neck and head. I still encountered back pain and found myself worse off! He screamed at me during my visit with him because I questioned his work. I felt like he cares more about making money than helping his patients. The point of his treatments was to align the spine by manipulating the atlas, but after switching my chiropractor and getting full r-rays done of my neck and back, the proof was there that I still had a crooked spine and spinal degeneration (I had no arch in my neck) after 4 months of treatment with him . I spent thousands of dollars on this treatment with Dr. Chau and I would not go back to him. Everyone experiences his treatments differently, and by no means am I saying DON'T SEE HIM....just be sure to listen to yourself and be your own advocate. If you aren't seeing results or if you're feeling worse off for the first 1-2 months..stop spending your money on him and see another chiropractor. On the positive note, I really enjoyed spending my time speaking with Jane, the friendly receptionist.

My first appt. with Dr. Chau indicated I needed 10 appointments With each weekly appt. I would progress, then regress, progress, regress. At the end of the 10 weeks, I was no better than when I started PLUS one emergency appointment I had was due to a mistake he had made, and charged me for this appointment just the same!!!!!!!! At the end of 10 weeks, Dr. Chau indicated that I was best to try some other treatment as his treatment was not working for me. I felt that he should be able to tell whether he can or cannot help a patient even at the five treatment level. I came to the conclusion that he is in this business for his own interest and not the patient’s well being!

I suffered many years if lower back pain. I was suggested to get surgery and was put in a waiting list. Fear of the knife I was referred to dr peter Chau. Nothing to lose I decided to go. Many treatments and was told no guarantee. I was put back to straight. Skeptical by this practice and confused by the technic. I relaxed and trusted his methods. It was a painful reversal but no longer in pain. And go for 1 year maintenance. Thx.💖
