As a lifelong surfer, I started developing a lot of neck issues which were keeping me out of the water and affecting my sleep. Some days I could barely turn my head and I was thinking my days of surfing were numbered. I was recommended Gold Coast Chiropractic and am sure glad I was. After x-rays and examination, Dr. Dave created a plan for me and within just a few visits I was able to put that pain behind me.
Now I feel great, I'm back in the water and sleeping well at night! Dr. Dave knows what's up -He even provided adaily warm-up routine of exercises and stretches to keep me moving well every day. The doctors and staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable -I really can't say enough positive things about my experience at Gold Coast Chiropractic center.

I have had a great experience with Dr. Dave and Gold Coast Chiropractic. Feeling so much better after one month and looking forward to continue with Dr. Dave's guidance. I would recommend Gold Coast Chiropractic to my family, friends and anyone who is looking for chiropractic care.

WOULD NOT recommend to friends or family. I asked repeatedly to have my insurance run, and they refused to run my insurance prior to treatment. I was presented with a singular option of a cash plan, which they pointed me to taking out CareCredit. I took out CareCredit, and paid Gold Coast around $4500 before I figured out that they were NOT in network with my insurance- THEY DID NOT TELL ME THEY WERE NOT IN-NETWORK- my opinion is that this was DECEPTIVE and DISHONEST, taking advantage of someone in need of medical help for monetary gain. Also, CareCredit DROPPED MY CREDIT SCORE 28 POINTS.
No offer to recoup what I spent that I would not have, had they told me they were not in-network. Sad. EDIT: Further, I reached out for a refund for services received via phone and email and was denied. I don't know how one would "rectify" this situation otherwise.

Very happy with my journey so far! Dr. Anna, Dr. Jacob and Grace deliver top notch care and go above and beyond to make your visit comfortable! Not to mention they are all super friendly! I started going to Gold Coast because of migraines and I'm on my second month into care and I have noticed a decrease in the headaches I am getting! I look forward to every visit because I feel 10x better when I leave. I can't recommend this place enough. They have a patient for life!

Started going there as a last resort with all my pinched nerves, muscle and other pains after suffering from two major accidents. They have been honest, up front, amazing people. They have evaluated and put me on a plan that has made it possible for me to come every week to get adjusted. In about just 2-3 weeks I have had great improvements and now a year after I just thank God that I found them. Today I move around pain free, pinched nerve free, inflammation free and keep on healing.
