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.

I went to 20 allopathic doctors in 10 years in an attempt to to deal with my chronic pain and chronic GI symptoms; all 20 told me there was nothing wrong with me, and all 20 did blood tests and declared the normal. Finally, after I had endured one migraine very literally after the other for two months straight, I found Dr. Joe. It took him 30 minutes to begin hypothesizing, and the labs he ordered proved him right. Celiac Disease, SIBO, adrenal fatigue, blood sugar imbalance, and a bonus brain asymmetry. Three days after I saw him the first time and after I made the diet and medication changes he suggested, my migraine went away and never came back. Three months after I began working for him, the excruciating nerve pain I'd had for over a decade went away -- and it hasn't come back. I had been on vicodin for pain, adderall for (supposed) attention deficit, and klonipin for anxiety for a decade; I am off all of them now. He has very literally saved my life. He's a total genius, and I'll never trust another physician again -- unless it's one whom he recommends. He has the unfortunate job of telling lots of us the things we do NOT want to hear: my diet is pretty restrictive, and I had to give up lots of things that I loved dearly. Add to the diet stuff that the medications that had been the only reason I could function eventually had to go, too. These are scary propositions, and they were hard to hear. But holy crap have they (along with his interventions) worked. I miss coffee, but I don't miss the abject physical misery I was in. I'm not sure how many decades I'd have left -- or how many I'd spend out of a wheelchair -- if I hadn't found him. Whatever it is that is making you sick, he will figure it out. Without a doubt.

I have struggled for years to discover the root cause of my ill health. Dr Joseph Smith took the time to listen to my history and ordered bloodwork. He immediately offered a comprehensive plan. Very quickly upon following the plan I saw an improvement in my health. My sensitivity to gluten and gut issues lead to autoimmune diseases that if not for Dr Joseph Smith would have decimated my future. Chronic migraines, joint inflammation, brain fog, chronic allergies and fatigue seemed to control my life. I now experience a full life. Hiking a few times a week. No more migraine, or joint swelling and my sessional allergies are unnoticeable. Dr Joe is my hero!

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!!

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.

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.

He is a great doctor. Very kind and welcoming. Makes you feel like one of the family. His adjustments are so good almost makes you wanna fall asleep. He really caters to the aching parts of your body. He will talk you through what he's doing and how it's going to benefit you. Very nice guy and he's very personable highly recommend him.

I come from a family of western medicine Doc's so I was biased learning about what chiropractic can offer. In just a few months I'm sold. I've never come across a doctor whose job is caring for me as a whole human being- physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual etc.. I have struggled with anxiety and also digestive and GI problems my whole life. In just a few months, I've learned so much! Dr. Joe and other good chiropractors educate you instead of treat you like a diseased person. They bring you to optimal health by not just focusing on reducing the symptoms but by actually going to the root of the issues and allowing your body to learn to heal itself. I trust Dr. Joe and will continue to see him because I have seen such wonderful improvements and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
