A great chiropractor with a lot of tools at his disposal that make going to the chiropractor a joy. I have been searching far and wide for a chiropractor and I know that I will continue seeing him for as long as he continues to provide this service. Thank you again Dr. T as well as your entire staff for being very professional and very helpful and I can't wait to tell everybody else about you and your team thank you again!.

You get no drugs and no vaccinations. During childhood you have the usual illnesses, but conservative treatment gets you through them without antibiotics or drugs, and you build your natural immune defenses. You don't eat white sugar, white flour, hydrogenated oils, too much meat or cheese, or drink soft drinks or pasteurized milk.
Very conscientious about making his patients well and does a good job throughout treatment. This was my first time visit to a chiropractor. I felt welcomed and at ease from the moment I was greeted and all throughout the appointment. Dr. Tereo was professional and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain each part of the exam letting me know that "as a team" I will improve. I wish I had gone to see him sooner. Very professional and has your best interest in mind. I have been seeing Dr Tereo since 2008.

I came to Dr. Mangat for upper back pain. I was hesitant about working with this young doctor, but he really knows his stuff! I went to Dr. Mangat twice and my pain was gone. I would highly recommend him as I have gone to him multiple times now can confidently say I will always go to Mangat Chiro for my back pain!

First off let me start by saying that if you are seeking chiropractic care from someone who can make a difference, Dr. Mangat (Manraj) is who you are looking for. I started going to him years ago for my back issues and imbalances throughout my body and he has definitely surpassed my expectations. Now I mainly go for maintenance and my body feels like it's back in it's prime.

Definitely give Dr. Mangat a shot and you won't be disappointed. I had gone to a chiro in the past that made me feel worse than I came in every time and I lost all faith in their work. Dr. Mangat has restored my faith in chiropractic and I am now a regular.

Doctor Mangat and his staff are very professional and courteous! I have been treated very well and they have helped me after my car accident where I was rear ended. The facility has top notch equipment and there is not a long wait time. You make an appointment and he makes sure there is not too many people there at once. I like the way I am treated here and his technique.

This place is great! I went into Dr. Mangat's office because my lower back was feeling very tight. I told him exactly where it was bothering me and after a few adjustments I was able to stretch it out a lot more. I was going to The Joint prior to visiting this office and they could not do the trick over there! Love this place and the staff is super nice!

Dr. Manny is the best neck-cracker I know. This guy will really get you right. I've been going to him since before this practice opened up. He's a true professional and knows what he's doing. And I have to add, this is the only time I don't mind keeping my "head down" because when it is, he's always got some fresh kicks to stare at! Keep it up Dr. Manny!

I have been going to Dr. Mangat for a few years now. I have a hard time finding doctors that I trust, and Dr. Mangat did not only take care of my back pain, but he is someone that is not after the money. Rather than "recommending" me to come back for another adjustment, he recommended I buy a percussion gun. This was huge for me as it shows he cares about his patient's well being rather than the financial aspect of it.

I will continue to come back to Dr. Mangat as he has proved to me that he is an awesome chiropractor in my eyes. I would not hesitate on recommending him to my family and friends.

I loved the experience at this establishment. The staff were very professional and friendly and I feel much better after my first adjustment, definitely coming back. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a chiropractor!

I was fooled by his age, too immature. The office used to close at 1:00 pm. I was there on Saturday, December 4, 2021, for an adjustment. After the adjustment I usually do a couple of rounds of an instrument that emits light on my knee. Did five minutes. Reset the light for another five minutes. After the first minute of the second round, he walks in takes the instrument from my hand and tells me they are closed.

He could have said go ahead and finish but just to inform you we now close at 12:30 pm. Instead he took the instrument and followed me to the front as if he was escorting me out, a sign of immaturity and poor customer service. Not only that but the staff only has three to four phrases in their vocabulary; would you like to make payment, are we doing upper and lower today?

Not sure the average patient knows what the hell upper and lower means. Even if one knows, is it up to the patient to decide? and go to room. Customer Service is a priority and fortunately for me there are plenty of chiropractors in the area, nothing like good old Chiropractor Tereo.

Dr. Mangat is amazing! His technique is so good and doesn't leave me sore. He is patient and answers all questions! If you have migraines go to him. If you are sore go to him. If you have any back pain go to him. Any pain go to him! I'm so grateful that I am pushed to go to the chiropractor. He is a healer! Thank you Dr. Mangat. The girls up front are so sweet! Love seeing the see girls at all my appts. Anyways, enough said Dr. Mangat is the bomb!

Dr. Tereo recently fitted me for some custom fitted/custom arch slippers called "levelers" that help correct foot positioning and spinal alignment. They feel awesome. I have a pair for inside the house and another for outdoors. I also have custom shoe inserts form him too. Highly recommended!

Hard to award stars one way or the other since I wasn't seen, but that's the basis for my review. I hurt my arm suddenly at work Saturday morning July 3rd so it's a holiday weekend to boot. Two friends highly recommended Dr Tereo's practice, and I was nearby and walked in at about 12:52. They close at 1. Now I get I may be wrong.

If it were a manicurist, I don't suppose I'd expect to be served 8 minutes before closing. But this is a Dr's office. And I was in obvious pain. And they were open. I guess maybe if it were a real Dr they would have seen me.

I have gone to Dr. Tereo for many years. Whenever I explain about a problem, he addresses with appropriate treatments for a course of time. His staff is cordial.

I have returned to Dr Tereo. My last review from 2016 was not so great in regards to his Staff. It seems he has changed his staff since then. I have returned to have alignment maintenance. Dr Tereo is a good Chiropractor. I always come out of his office feeling looser and taller. I'm glad to be back when I can. He can do wonder for your body.

I have been going to see Dr. Terreo for the last three weeks, I have already gone three visits and have instantly seen results. Not only has he helped me with my chiropractic needs, he is also helping me with my posture with, how I run, as well as with my nutrition. He has a very holistic approach as well as a human approach, you can't help but see him as a health provider but also as a friend.

I am so grateful to the Yelp community to have found this gem of a human. I have been searching far and wide for a chiropractor and I know that I will continue seeing him for as long as he continues to provide this service. Thank you again Dr. T as well as your entire staff for being very professional and very helpful and I can't wait to tell everybody else about you and your team thank you again!

The office staff is always so helpful and accommodating and Dr. Tereo is always great. I love that he takes the time to remember small things that i've previously told him & is so educational. He just re-did in inside of the office and it looks GREAT. Highly recommend this physician and his office!

About 5 years ago I was involved in a car accident and as a result had a lot of back pain for some time. Once I started going to Dr. Tereo for treatment my pain started to go away until not experiencing any back pain at all. Dr. Tereo as well as all of the staff were always kind and I remember never having to wait more than 5 minutes to be taken to a room. Dr. Tereo kept me informed about my treatment and im glad his office accepted my insurance.

Appointments are a problem here. I showed up early for my 10am appointment and wasn't seen until after 11am. The doctor came in for a couple of minutes and then disappeared. It seemed that he was seeing other patients in between with little to no communication on what to expect. He seemed stressed and so did the staff but everyone was very kind.

I just think they are overbooking time slots and wasting people's time by not being upfront. I didn't go through the diagnosis as I had to leave so can't comment on that.

This was my first time visiting a chiropractor. I had a friend recommend me to this place. I messaged them over the weekend and I still managed to get in an appointment right away. I was having some back and knee pain. Dr. Tereo took his time explaining things to me and the procedures. He is also a nutritionist and suggested a few things that I might want to bring into awareness but he was also good about letting me know if I wanted to learn more or not in my next appointment which I appreciated. My back felt a lot better after my appointment and I'm looking forward to my follow up!

Earns and is worth 5 stars! Phenomenal chiropractic services and care. For us busy folks an email & text reminder system. Their approach to individual assesment for my overall health is refreshing and I'm feeling great!

I don't know why he would insist me to buy vitamins etc when it's go do with my shoulder. I just didn't have the right feeling, I think their main goal is to try and make most money and treatment comes secondary

I have never seen a chiropractor because of all the horrific stories, you know like getting paralyzed for life! but i bit the bullet after my back and neck was hurting me so bad from siting all day and being hunch over my laptop. my hubby came here first and recommended me, i'm so glad i came. dr. tereo is very knowledgeable and very skilled. when i first came i told him how scared i was and he answered all my questions and alleviated all my fears. he has 30 years of experience and has adjusted babies! hello! if a baby can do it, i can! he also attends classes/training to keep up and gain more knowledge. i always feel so much better after getting adjusted and i also order supplements here too, i found out all the vitamins that i have been taking is crap and so bad for my body! taking natural plant based supplements now and feeling ooh so good!

I could go into a huge narrative about how skilled Dr. Tereo is but his work speaks for itself. I am a salon owner and I have been plagued with back and shoulder pain since before I opened my salon. I was referred by my cousin and at first I wasn't a believer that this could help me but I was desperate. Needless to say, here I am 5 years later and I'm still a faithful client of Yours Truly Dr. Tereo!

He is amazing and does what he says he will do. I no longer have that aching pain in my shoulder and if a pain does arise I tell him and he goes to work on that specific spot and neutralizes my pain almost instantly. Amazing right?!?! I also had a Dr tell me I needed x rays and physical therapy for knee pain I had recently and Dr. TEREO adjusted it and I have been perfectly fine ever since. Just one knee adjustment and no pain meds! See for yourself! The best thing you could ever do for your body is to pay this man a visit. Pain or no pain!

I booked the appointment for 10:30 am, arrived 10 minute early for the application. And I am still waiting now at 11 am! I rarely write review. But please respect patient's time when scheduling appointments. I think keep patient waiting to squeeze in more business is horrible.

I had never been to visit a chiropractor before, I was in a car accident and visiting a chiropractor was suggested. Being a lifelong resident of Newark, I thought I'd give Dr. Tereo a try. Bad first time experience. I stopped going after 2 or 3 visits. The Dr. probably knows his stuff (reason for 2 stars), but I did not stick around long enough to find out.

He was pushy with the vitamin supplements the office promotes, and he made me feel really uncomfortable with the way he adjusted my back. This is a facility that uses electrodes as part of your treatment, and the Dr. suggests you remove your bra for this part of the therapy. One of the assistants even told me "I don't feel comfortable and it's ok if you just wear a sports bra".

The last treatment and the reason I decided not to go back, was because Dr. Tereo referred to my breast as a "boobie". I'm not sure if he was offended because I was wearing a sports bra, but I felt super uncomfortable.

Dr. Tereo is one of the best chiropractors! He fixed my shoulder and neck pain fast! He takes the time to listen about your aches and pains. You can tell right away that he puts his heart in his practice. He does his best to provide you with the best information on getting healthy. Starting from the best vitamins to even offering orthotics if needed.

The vitamins that Dr Tereo gave me made my skin glow and my hair looks amazing! = I recommend him to everyone I know. I don't have chiropractic coverage on my insurance but for the cash office visit it was reasonably priced.

Dr. Tereo deserves 5 stars for helping me with my back pain! I highly recommend him! This place is very accommodating and the staff is courteous and efficient. Dr. Tereo takes his time to address my pain, and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to health and well-being. I've had the pleasure of attending one of his talks, and have learned so much from him. If you're in pain, Dr. Tereo will definitely help you start to feel better today!

Done playing phone tag and appointment roulette with this office. I've had so many points of contact, and none of them served any purpose. I'm actually supposed to be at my appointment, but since I no longer have one due to excellent communication and scheduling (ha, jokes), I have time for a Yelp review. Made an initial appointment for a sports massage, the doctor was out of town for the week. That's fine, I go ahead schedule an appointment the following Monday.

Come that following Monday, got to the office, only to find that 1. They'd booked me for a "new patient exam", 2. The massage therapist wasn't there, and 3. I had to reschedule. I was disappointed because I'd driven from Pleasanton straight after work, and I had explicitly said I had a chiropractor and a general physician. but whatever, mistakes happen.

I get an appointment card from Fritzy (?). She also tells me insurance doesn't cover anything/the usual prices, which I'm aware of/more than down to pay for. Fast forward another week, I've gotten over 5 freaking calls for my one appointment today, NONE OF WHICH ARE INFORMATIVE, OR SERVE ANY PURPOSE. Honestly. it seemed like they were calling me to have me tell them about my appointment.

On Saturday before my Monday appointment, I get 2 calls from DeNae (?). She left a message saying she had questions about my appointment and I call back, and it was just a confirmation.and she literally had one question, and if it was the length of my massage. I ask her specifically, do you have any more questions, because the number of calls I've been getting for this one appointment is excessive--please ask all of your questions now.nope just had one question. It's now Monday and I'm at work and get another two missed calls from the office.

I call back and it's the front office calling to "confirm" my appointment.again? And to tell me that, oops, they had scheduled me for a different time.and that their massage therapist was no longer on the premises, but was "around". There seemed to be a "miscommunication" again. At this point I'm kind of like areyoufreakingkiddingme and ask if I should even come in at this point, and she says she'll call the massage therapist.

I get a call while I'm on the way saying that "Unfortunately, she can't stay that late, do you want to reschedule for next Monday? Whoa. No. My back hurts but at this point I'm thinking it's more likely that a monsoon hit California than me actually getting an appointment/being seen by the ~elusive~ massage therapist. I give up--if anyone knows of a good massage therapist.lemme know!
