I have worked with Dr. Joe for about 5 months now. I've waited this long to put up some "reviews" since health journeys are long (mine included) and I didn't want to make any major statements until I had a good sample size of facts. Anyway, I've decided the facts are overwhelmingly in and here's my major statement: Dr. Joe has truly changed my life for the positive and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

I found Dr. Joe through an incredible Youtube lecture he gave on "food sensitivity" and after gathering my courage, reached out to see if he was interested in treating me (my issues revolve around allergy, digestion, blood sugar, terrible energy, Eosinophilic Esophagitis, ect). He was and we began our work (which I'm still in the thick of today). As I do not live in San Francisco, we initially skyped and I was so impressed and excited that he actually listened to my health-story (something sadly many health care practitioners don't do). From my symptoms described and a written questionnaire, he ordered a series of tests he was interested in seeing the results of, which I proceeded to do (mostly blood work, some stool). When these results were in, we once again met online and he gave me his ideas and prescriptions (diet, supplements, lifestyle, ect.) which I've been following since and we tweak when needed. Eventually I went up to SF to see Dr. Joe and did a 4-day intensive which was also fascinating and productive. Now we are in weekly contact, we still do tests and tweak my lifestyle, but my symptoms and outlook are miles and miles improved since I started 5 months ago. I feel safe with Dr. Joe. I trust him completely and feel like he really knows me medically, something which is rare and I'm so grateful for.

Dr. Joe is worth every penny, a true, powerful science-based holistic approach to healthcare. He is an incredibly smart and kind person and I am truly honored that I get to work with him. It hasn't been an easy process, but change never is - it is not an exaggeration when I say every aspect of my life has improved under his tutelage. I don't have to feel as bad as I once did. Life doesn't have to be that way. Dr. Joe has empowered me through my health. I am truly, truly grateful. If you are struggling with a health issue that seems too complex to manage (and maybe other Doctors are not listening), I sincerely urge you to give Dr. J a call and see what he has up his sleeve.

Joe Smith is very passionate about his work!
My issues are neurological and he was very helpful!

Dr. Smith is truly a rare find. He is a skilled problem-solver, a trusted adviser, and a gifted educator, inspiring and supporting lasting change in his patients. He helped me understand and resolve some long-term health issues that had other practitioners stumped. He's helped me solve both nutritional and structural issues.

Dr. Smith has a powerful skillset including chiropractic, Applied Kinesiology, naturopathy, and traditional Chinese medicine. He is one of the countries foremost experts in Applied Kinesiology a modality that lets him determine which treatments will do the greatest good to your system. You can see why patients literally fly in from other states to see him. If you're ready for results you should work with Dr. Smith. We are truly fortunate to have him in our community.

After an extremely long health journey that involved so many doctors and five years of my life, I am content because I have a doctor that I trust and have full faith in. When I met Dr. Joe, his approach was different. It was evident from the moment we met that he truly cared. Dr. Joe worked tirelessly and never gave up until he finally found the root cause of my issues. Once we understood my health challenges, Dr. Joe developed a plan to guide me back to optimal health. During the process of testing, reviewing lab results, and evaluating various treatments, Dr. Joe made sure my mental health and stress levels were managed properly. He gave me meditations and pep talks and was a true supporter throughout the entire process. When I was healthy enough to exercise again, he evaluated my exercise routines to ensure that I was exercising optimally for my condition. As I became healthier, he checked in on me and has always been available when I needed him. I know this statement is very bold, but I can honestly say, Dr. Joe saved my life. It feels wonderful to know I am in good hands and that I truly trust my doctor.

Dr. Smith is extremely knowledgeable and patient, taking time to understand your background, determine the root cause of the issue, and then explain his approach to remedying it.

I had neck pain and impaired mobility for weeks. He adjusted me and applied various Applied Kinesiology techniques. I recall he pressed somewhere on my shin-- and surprisingly it was sore there. Post treatment, I felt 100% better and have not had that issue since. Amazing.

He also brought awareness of the impact/influence of specific food on the body. I have suffered from terrible headaches my whole life and have seen many specialists/allergists/ENTs in an effort to figure out the cause, with no success. Dr. Smith had me closely monitor what I ate and I discovered a correlation with drinking milk and getting a headache. I had no idea all these years. I now drink milk substitutes [rice milk, almond milk]-- and it has made all the difference.

Dr. Smith has devoted his life to improving the health and well-being of his patients. I highly recommend him and only wish he would open a second office in SF!

Dr. Joe is brilliant, kind, patient and deeply supportive. I've been to numerous integrative doctors, healers, naturopaths and medical professionals and he's the best! He uncommonly brilliant holistically and scientifically - and knows things and can connect the dots in ways for each unique person and their unique health challenges - that very few practitioners can. I've referred 4-6 of my friends and relatives to him as well and they all agree!

I have been working with Dr. Joe for over a year and he has helped me achieve many of the goals that I had for my health. I was in a very dark place when I started working with him, consumed by frustrating symptoms and unable to find answers. He gently and brilliantly helped me find many of the answers within myself while guiding me through labs and testing to help us find more answers. He truly listens to peoples stories and is able to clearly understand how their life experience has contributed to their health issues. Dr Joe is truly passionate about finding the root cause of an issue! He is incredibly intelligent but also intuitive and wise. I feel so deeply grateful for the opportunity to partner with him on my wellness journey. His staff is also wonderful, Nancy is kind, patient and responds super quickly with updates and guidance. I highly recommend Atlas Health!!

This just in!! The amazing Dr. Joseph Smith has curred me of a lifetime of physical discomfort!! I've been to everyone and done EVERYTHING but he was able to figure out exactly what my issue was and what I needed. He is well worth the drive, the money, and the dedication! I've never been so happy!! Thank you so much Dr. Smith!!! =)

I started working with Dr. Joe a year ago, after a literal lifetime of GI issues (my main reason for seeking his help), and positive autoimmune markers (which other dr's brushed off as something to "just keep an eye on"). We began the journey with GI mapping (stool "inventory" test), bloodwork, and an extensive h&p (no other dr has ever taken the time to delve that deep into my medical/social/emotional history!) Dr. Joe looked at every aspect of my life to develop a plan for healing. At each step, he would ask "have we met your goal?", to see to what extent I wanted to go to heal. I appreciated this checking in, since, let's be honest, when you're as messed up as my gut was, it's a lot of time, energy, and finances to get to a place of health. All of it was completely worth it- a doctor who listens, when something doesn't quite work, goes a different direction, and is encouraging along the way is hard to find! He is incredibly knowledgeable, and made sure that I understood what all he was referring to (sometimes this meant making a recording of a "cliff notes" of our meeting). Today, a year after our first meeting, my labs are almost normal, my gut is healed, and my quality of life has increased drastically. It is a commitment for sure, but for anyone who is willing to work for their health, and really get to the root of their ailments/issues, Dr. Joe is the one to see.

If only I had found Dr. Joe a few years earlier! I could have saved myself a lot of time, energy, and money (not to mention pain and feelings of hopelessness) by getting the proper treatment I needed to address the source of my problem rather than treating symptoms. Prior to seeing Dr. Joe, I had tried many different healing modalities for my recurring shoulder and neck pain. I tried chiropractic, A.R.T., corrective exercise, massage therapy, yoga...which would only provide me with temporary relief. Dr. Joe helped me to understand what was driving the orthopedic dysfunction in the first place, and his multi-faceted approach is what ultimately helped me to get better. I am so happy to get back to doing the things I love to do, pain-free!
In addition, the office manager, Rachel, is super helpful and awesome. Coming into the office is always such a wonderful, healing experience for me. I highly recommend Atlas Health to anyone who doesn't want to waste time in finding permanent relief from a health problem or pain issue. Thank you Rachel and Dr. Joe for all that you do!

I'm in the midst of my healing journey and I recommend Dr. Joe to everyone who will listen. He's able to connect ALL of the dots and get to the root cause, ultimately saving my sanity along with time and money. I'm so thankful.

Dr Joe helped me when many other doctors did not put much effort to fixing the problem. Having multiple digestive issues, he took the time to figure out what the cause of each issue was and setup a course of treatment to solve them. All off which ended up being a few lifestyle changes (diet primarily), supplements, and basic exercises to heal my upper stomach and other issues. It has been 4+ years since going through this process with them.
I highly recommend Dr. Joe and Atlas Health to anyone looking for an amazing progressive natural healthcare provider, to really do what takes to make them feel better. Thank you again.
