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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

I was introduced to Dr. Smith at his seminar where he teaches Professional Applied Kinesiology "PAK". I found him to be ahead of his time. He is very powerful teacher and has a strong passion for getting people well. I eventually became one of his clients and have referred many of my close family members to him along with my clients. I truly believe what he does works. He just doesn't adjust what is restricted. He uses PAK to find what, when and how a specific segment of my body needs to be adjusted. It makes sense.
I am happy I found Dr. Smith and look forward to progressing on my healing journey with him .
