Review from Jo Ann R.

If you are looking for a chiropractor, look no further! Make an appointment with Dr. Lam Nguyen today.
About four months ago, I started experience horrible back pain. I tried doing yoga and getting massages but nothing worked. At times, I couldn't concentrate at work, and would even have a hard time sleeping.
I looked on yelp for a chiropractor, and was lucky to find Dr. Nguyen. He is not your typical chiropractor, he utilizes the Active Release Techniques, treating soft-tissue. He is very knowledgeable, skilled and personable.
After two months of treatments, I can now say that I am completely pain-free. Also, I have greatly improved my posture and workout routines.
My only regret is not making an appointment earlier; I bore the pain for too long, hoping it would just go away. -

I'm an avid supporter of my local neighborhood small business owners but this is not one of the reasons why you would want/need to come back to your chiropractor. Gosh, sleeping in the wrong position just one night threw my axle completely off balance. It was like carpel tunnel coming right back at me again after a year of pain-free living.
Dr. Lam squeezed me in his very first available appointment & worked his magic. I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am for the wonderful service. Most importantly Dr. Lam knows what he's doing !!

Dr David Ngyum is by far the best at what he does. I've been a regular patient going on three or four years now.(not to mention I found him on Yelp! ) I've also brought my son in that's 7 and suffers from migraines. He's helped us both. Aside from walking out feeling more aligned I like the fact that he educates you during treatments and he offers many different kinds of treatment. I make the drive over from Milpitas and honestly have a chiropractor on every corner nearby but I feel deep down no one can compare to his quality of services all around.

Dr Nguyen is outstanding. I have been consistently impressed with him and his staff. Anyone who is skeptical of chiropractors should try him out. He's the best one out of many chiropractors I have visited in the South Bay.

I was 35 weeks pregnant when I went to Dr. Lam in late 2009. I had gained 45 pounds and felt like a whale.
He was incredibly helpful and I'd highly recommend him for any pregnancy-related back and hip issues.
He took time to explain the details of each session so I was comfortable with all kinds of therapy, including neck-cracking. Really, really, good job. -

Came here for back pain. Not because of my 2nd car accident that month, but because I was stabbed in the back by my ex-fiance! Unfortunately, insurance does not cover that...but they can do something about being in the middle of a 3 car collision.
Dr. D Lam was really good about seeing me right away. I was able to come in on the very day that I called. He has been very flexible with setting up appointments around my schedule, and extremely thorough in explaining what's going on physiologically and what to do next. My appointments are quick and efficient. Excellent service! -

I started seeing Dr. Lam Nguyen a few months ago after having nagging pains in my lower back. I blame it on too many hours spent at the computer. I had never thought to see a chiropractor until a friend suggested the idea. I checked my insurance provider and found that he was one of the chiropractors listed in my network and was able to schedule an appointment for the same day.
I was a bit nervous when I first came in because I didn't know what to expect when seeing a chiropractor, but Dr. Nguyen put me at ease right away. He is very friendly and professional and spent a lot of time finding my problem areas as well as troubleshooting. He got out all the knots in my neck and back and I felt so much lighter and relaxed after my adjustment. In addition, he showed me numerous stretches to help prevent my muscles from tightening up as well as exercises to strengthen my back. His times are flexible and he is very efficient with scheduling. I never have to spend time in the waiting room.
Dr. Nguyen taught me that you shouldn't wait until you are in pain to see a chiropractor. Preventive care is paramount to your health. Don't expect to be miraculously fixed after one visit to the chiropractor if you have bad habits and posture. I have noticed that I am more conscious of my posture and now rarely experience back pains. Do your body a favor and make an appointment to see Dr. Nguyen ASAP! -

Update. One more star for Dr. Lam Nguyen contacting me and finally resolving the issues. While I appreciate the effort after the fact, this situation should never have happened. The doctor himself might be excellent at what he does but experiences such as this leave much to be desired.

I'd had posture and back problems for a while but never really did anything about it until recently. Dr. Lam Nguyen is the second chiropractor I've tried out and he's great! The first was really dramatic, pushy, and didn't actually give me an adjustment. Dr. Nguyen made me feel at ease about my problems with his explanations and advice. He's really easy to talk to, professional, and knows exactly what I'm talking about or feeling when I tell him about my back.
Unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover chiropractic care, but each visit has been $40 and I don't mind paying that at all. I've been twice this week already and can't wait for my next appointment on Tuesday! -

Dr. David Nguyen is the best!!!!!!!! I'm always excited to go see him because when i leave his office I'm 10 times better then I was.
Work has made my back feeling really bad and he has helped me a lot on how to make my back better on my own while getting treatment.
I recommend him to family and friends if they ever need a chrio visit he's the person to see. My fiance saw him once thinking he didn't need it and when Dr. David Nguyen adjusted him he felt 100 times better he couldn't stop talking about it......
THIS DR IS WORTH IT!!! -

Dr. Lam Nguyen is legit! I've had hamstring problems for a few years, but recently it was so discomforting that I wasn't able to walk or drive at times. I came to Dr. Nguyen and within a week I was already noticing a difference! Dr. Nguyen is friendly and tells it to you straight, whether it be how long the injury will take to fix or how bad the injury really is. Dr. Nguyen also suggests new ways to stretch and go about daily activities in order to alleviate the injury and prevent further injuries.
I definitely recommend Dr. Nguyen for all! -

I get a lot of sports related injuries, and was referred to Dr. Nguyen. He sorted out my back and made me feel ten years younger. I'm able to continue my active lifestyle with greater flexibility, speed, and strength than ever before.
Besides being knowledgeable, Dr. Nguyen is (very) athletic himself so he knows what he's doing, and what people like me need. For years I never knew where to go for a chiropractor, but now the choice is easy. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Nguyen for whatever your needs are, he won't let you down. -

I have been going to this Chiropractic office for about 4 years now and the treatments have helped me a lot. I go there for my back pains and injuries I get from playing sports. Dr. Lam Nguyen is very knowledgable and has helped me through many injuries. He would treat me for each injury until they are healed. He is very trustworthy and does not recommend treatment unless necessary. So once each problem was successfully treated, there was no need for more treatments for that injury. Also, the receptionist Marissa is very friendly and informative, and she made my visit very comfortable. She does a good job with the appointments, because I don't have to wait too long, for the visits are very quick and thorough. Overall, great experience.

Though it seems like everyone knows Dr. David Lam, great guy i knew of him before he was a doctor, I'm here to talk about Dr. David Nguyen. I've known him for years also and he's someone i trust.
Being how i play a lot of sports and when we were younger we played together, it's great to have a doctor that understand me, how my body works and what i put it through.
Being how i play a lot of contact sports i am always banged up. It's not a rush job with him where you come in he does his adjustments and you get the hell out.
I am definitely not the most limber guy and he works on stretching me out and showing me new stretches to use to prepare myself. I get my adjustment and if needed a deep tissue massage for my knots. i love how he isn't about rushing me out of the office.
The last thing is and more of why i trust him so much. He's the only doctor that is able to tell me something i don't know about my body. And the most accurate estimate of when I'll be able to get back on the field again. all around the only one I'd trust with my body. -

Dr. Lam Nguyen is amazing. Through the years, I've seen 4 different chiropractors in my life, and he is BY FAR the best one. He's a nice guy always willing to provide great advice on how to live a more healthy lifestyle. What's interesting and different about his treatments is that I usually don't feel better the day of the treatment, and sometimes not even great the next day, but I give it a few days and feel phenomenal. I see him about once a month, and am completely satisfied with his level of service. I can't see ever changing my chiropractor. The one negative: he needs more office help. I feel bad for him sometimes.

The BEST Chiropractor, Dr. Lam David Nguyen, should be your choice if the following applies to you: You've never been to a chiropractor and scared about pain, and you want to actually have an adjustment/massage that actually gives you immediate results.
I've never been to a chiropractor and neither has my wife but when she was complaining of back pain, I was asking around and got a referral to a young chiropractor name Dr. Lam David Nguyen. Like many others, my wife has heard of bad things regarding chiropractors and how painful the adjustment can be. Well, let me say one thing - my wife is addicted and goes every week! Bonus is that her insurance covers the weekly visit! Yes, most people do not even realize that their medical insurance covers this much needed adjustment for your body. Why let your insurance company profit from all your unused medical services when you could be using it to your full advantage? I am telling you and especially the young ladies out there that have chronic back problems, go to Dr. Lam David Nguyen! He'll give you a free adjustment and checks your medical coverage. If you can spend money and time on a massage that doesn't even do anything and even worse, hurts your muscles even more, you owe it to yourself to go see Dr. David Lam. Fluent English speaking Vietnamese Chiropractor. Very down to Earth and outgoing. My wife and I will see you there. -
Review from Cindy F.

I've seen a number of different chiropractors, and quite honestly it's been probably a year since I last saw one. I think, sad to say, I just got used to the neck, shoulder aches and tension in my back. My back just sort of got numb to it. It got so bad that when I got a massage, the masseuse would tell me that I'm "too young" to have these sorts of problems as she worked away at the marbles in my neck, shoulders and back! Well, welcome to my world of working 40 hours a week sitting in front of a computer all day long.
After hearing my friends Phil and Rose N. rave about Dr. Dave, I decided to give chiropractic one more try. They always seemed so excited whenever they talked about Dr. Dave and their next appointment with him. After talking on the phone and my first visit, Dr. Dave was super cool. He's on the younger side, yet he is also very knowledgable at what he does. He clearly explains and helps you understand what's going on with your body that causes you to have these problems in the first place. As I mentioned earlier, my back was just sort of numb to the pain after all these years, so I was like eh, I'll just go to get a massage and a tune up thinking it wouldn't hurt. During my first visit, he tried different tests and asked "does this hurt?" I was like, "ummm, ouch yes!" He kindly tells me, "that's not suppose to hurt."
After his assessment, he begins treating the movements that cause the pain, a different methodology than all the other chiropractors I've seen. It's very much like getting a deep tissue massage in your problem areas as you make those movements, problem areas I didn't even realize I had! Oh let me tell you, Dr. Dave KNOWS! He can tell me before I even have the chance to answer which spots hurt and hurt more than others. It's like telepathy! By the time we finish with tuneups and adjustments, my back feels like I'm 19 years old again. It feels so relieved and I'm able to sit up straight again, not to mention he fixed my wrist alignment which was bothering me. I just got back from my 2nd visit, and I really had no idea how bad my back was. I'm so glad to have found him! Thanks to Dr. Dave and Phil and Rosie for the recommendation! Dr. Dave is awesome, and I highly recommend him. Believe me, your back will be thanking you for it as I know mine is :-)Listed in: My A Team

I've been a patient of Dr. David Lam for about a couple months now and he's been doing an amazing job! I used to get headaches and tension headaches everyday, but once I've been going here they've stopped or they're not as they were before. I also work on the computer basically everyday and of course that's not good especially the way I sit (or slouch sometimes). Dr. Lam always treats my problem when I come in and thoroughly explains it to me and suggests certain exercises too. Also if I have an emergency he'll do his best to fit me right in! GREAT DOCTOR! =)

One afternoon about 2 years ago, my husband comes home from a business lunch raving about this chiropractor he has just met. He happily tells he's booked me an appointment. I must admit, my first reaction was a large resounding NO with a very dirty look! My last experience had not been a positive one and I was not too keen on heading to see a chiropractor. Sure, I had a few pains here and there, but doesn't everyone?
Lo and behold comes my first appointment, and Dr. David has me stand normally and I am seriously leaning to one side! All these years of sitting in front of the computer 40+ hours a week has deformed me! After my first appointment, I was standing straighter, taller, and feeling much better. I've been hooked ever since! Dr. David helps work out all the tension and tightness from a week in front of the computer. He doesn't just hook you up to a machine. He actually works on you. The closest thing to describe it would be almost like a sport or deep tissue massage. I always leave feeling so much better than when I came. I definitely recommend him to anyone especially all you computer professionals sitting in front of the computer all week! Do yourself a favor and call Dr. David now. You won't regret it! -

I have been treated by Dr. David Lam Nguyen since his training days at Life Chiropractic West. He has seen me since I was a dental student and now as a dentist. Because of my profession, I am in a constant, static position all day long, which does not make my back and neck very happy. Needless to say, I am grateful for Dr. Dave's continuing care and expertise. He's not just another Chiropractor out there, but one who cares about his patients, and is knowledgeable, and trustworthy.

I been to many chiropractors in my many years of chronic back pain. Many of them could not adjust my lumbar (lower back) because my lower back has a special deformity. However, my back did not give any problems to Dr Dave Lam Nguyen. He adjusted my lower back with ease.Which shows that Dr Nguyen has a very special talent that many other chiropractors don't have. he understands the human body and its motion. It has taken me over five years to find a chiropractor that can do what they are suppose to do.
Dr Nguyen doenst simply just twist and torque the back and prays that he hears a popping noise. He finds the joints that immobile and makes it mobile.
He is my savior (next to Jesus) -

I hurt my left shoulder from working out and was very stubborn about seeing a chiropractor. My friend convinced me to see Dr. Lam Nguyen and I am sooo glad I did! My shoulder felt better immediately. He gave me great tips on what to dos and not to dos. My views on chiropractic has definitely changed since.

Came here based on the free consultation and reviews.
Dr. Nguyen did some diagnostic tests on me and the results were clear. During my consultation, my back was so tight that Dr. Nguyen gave me an free adjustment! Instantly felt a lot better.
Since I am a college student, he gave me student pricing. You won't believe the price here! You'll probably save couple hundred to thousands here.
He knows his stuff, very nice, doesn't try to sell you anything, young and very helpful for your back problems. -

I have gone to dr.lam since 2006. He is awesome! Initially, I went due to a car accident. After I realized how much he can help with my sports . I have done soccer, golf, tennis, crossfit, krav maga, and Bootcamps while under his care! His use of active release techniques and kinesio taping combined with his knowledge of many sports is what sets him apart from most. ART is hard to come by but has helped my hip flexors, shins, thighs and back... Overall, it has helped me consistently train hard with less injury. I highly recommend him, ESP to active people like myself!

A few years ago I got into a really bad accident with my car and it flipped over the freeway. Because of that I've had this long lasting back pain that probably will never go away but thanks to Dr. Nguyen, the pain is more bearable. I use to see him every week when it got really bad but now I only come in to see him about every two weeks. Dr. Nguyen knows his stuff and is a cool guy.

In less than a month, I have already had many visits in order to preserve the loose memory in my tight muscles. Every visit is convenient and relaxing. The staff and Dr. Nguyen are as kind and friendly and helpful as the first day. Dr. Nguyen really gets to know you as a person, and Lord knows he's been listening to me vent about my problems in life and he gives prudent advice and feedback. I'm utterly glad I decided to come see a chiropractor but even more glad I chose Dr. Nguyen's office. Because of Dr. Nguyen, I now sit up much straighter with no back pain and the neck pains have diminished dramatically; my entire body feels so loose and mellow. I sleep peacefully and wake up refreshed which is such a huge contrast to when I would wake up cranky and moody because I didn't get any good sleep due to my aching back pain. I use to think and hear from other people that chiropractors are quacks, but Dr. Nguyen has completely changed the way I think about chiropractors. I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen.

I was seen by Dr. Lam Nguyen for a few months following a car accident. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind and caring. What is most important though is he is flexible with appointment times - which is important to me b/c my job requires me to be on call and I have a fairly busy school schedule. Overall - very satisfied with Dr.Nguyen

I was referred to Dr. Lam/David Nguyen by my fiance who is a frequent patient and I have been seeing him now for about a year. I use to be skeptical about going to a chiropractor in general because I was paranoid thinking, what if I break something? I also thought, why go if you're not in any pain right? But after seeing Dr. Nguyen, I now think, man his visits help me out so much, why haven't I started going sooner? I remember the first time I met him, he explained to me the importance of seeing a chiropractor for preventive care. I see Dr. Nguyen once a month for preventive care and my fiance who is in bad shape has appointments once a week. My fiance has said seeing Dr. Nguyen has reduced his back and neck pains tremendously. I even referred a friend to Dr. Nguyen who has really bad pains and headaches and now no longer has any of those issues. I just started working so seeing Dr. Nguyen helps ease any muscle tensions that I acquire from sitting at a desk for 8+ hours. Funny as it is, I actually look forward to my appointments now because my tense muscles are relaxed from working so much and he's always fun to talk to. He'll tell you all these cool stuff like places to visit or good foods to eat. He even told me he had a patient who commuted like an hour away just to come see him. I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen because he's friendly, professional, and is flexible with your busy schedules.

Dr. Nguyen has been taking care of my Chiropractic needs for the past several years. Even though I have a horrible insurance policy, I always feel like I am receiving top notch health care. I work on my feet all day long and if I start to feel any pain, I make an appointment with Dr. Nguyen ASAP. He is not the typical "Ambulance chaser" Chiropractor he actually takes his time to fully explain his diagnose of my problems and advise me on how to correct them. All in all he is a great Chiropractor and would recommend him to the Yelp community.

I like Dr. David Nguyen. He is one of the best chiropractors I have even seen. I believe 99% patients want a knowledgeable and thoughtful doctor. Dr. Nguyen is the one. He will really take care of you if you are injured, and he is not like other doctors, just look at $$$. Being a patient, I don't think $$ is the most important thing. If the doctor can really help you, you won't mind to spend a little more. Because your point is to get better, not to save $. I don't know what they charge anyway, but the point is you have the best doctor.

I have had chronic ankle sprains since 1994, Dr. Dave started treating my ankle about 2 months ago because of a sever ankle sprain. I play alot of sports, and realize better mobility since these sessions. Now he is treating my chronic back & neck pains. This is my first review, and I do not see a more deserving business to break the ice. I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Dave to anyone who has any kind of issues that can be treated with therapy.
