Dade W. Donovan

Dr Donovan cured chronic back pain I had for many years. I now bring my entire family to him. I highly recommend his services.

After being face up, looking at the ceiling for hours, and feeling that you will never get your lower back to work again, you discover hope. Dr Dade Donovan through expertise, empathy, and encouragement got my lower back to work with me. I can't imagine anyone more knowledgeable and personable to help me on my healing journey.

I've been going to Dr. Donovan for a few months. He has helped alleviate my hip pain and lessened my ankle pain. My quality of life has improved, and I've been able to up my exercise thank to the work Dr. Donovan has done. He is a pro has a great conversational manner when he works with you. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a great chiropractor!

I've been seeing Dr. Donovan since 2007. He is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, caring, and has a great sense of humor. He takes the time to address the soft tissues if needed, which really benefits the patient. I've seen many chiropractors over the years. He is by far the best one and I feel fortunate to have found him. Every time I have an adjustment from him, I feel as though I have had a full body tune-up.

I cannot recommend Dr. Donovan enough! I've been under his care for several years now, and as a long-time martial artist and fairly active person, his exceptional care and therapy has made a considerable difference in my life and my body's ability to continue a physically active lifestyle relatively pain free. He's professional, very knowledgeable and caring, a great listener, and he maintains a positive demeanor before, during and after his thorough assessment which always helps to put me at ease.

I have great confidence in Dr. Donovan and his warm and friendly staff, so much so that I am now driving from the Sacramento area so I can remain under their wonderful care - thank you Dr. Donovan and team!

Help me get through my plantar fasciitis almost 8 years ago and has not come back. His expertise of ART and chiropractic are great combinations for health.

Dr. Donovan is a great practitioner. His active release techniques helps my neck pain dissipate, this is was before he even attempted an adjustment. He is very knowledgeable about ways to rehabilitate from muscular and other sports related injuries. He has nursed me through a serious of soft tissue injuries and I routinely go to him for maintenance. If you want to stay active having some like Dr. D in your life is essential.

Dr Dade is just great. I've been going to him for at least 7 years and he really knows his stuff. Also, he's the type of chiropractor that after 1 visit and you're feeling better, he doesn't encourage you to come back again and again like many chiropractors do. Knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and just a great chiropractor!

Dr. Dade Donovan has been treating me for 4 years. He is the BEST D.C. and I've had chiropractic care since the 80's. He uses the Active Release Technique. He adjusts gently without twisting or cracking. He has intuitive healing skills beyond my expectations. Alignment alone is so important especially as you get older I will continue to go to him regularly. TY Dr. Dade!

I am a 70 year old man that plays a lot of golf and over the years I have had a lot of back issues. When I would go to other Chiropractors they would always do the same thing and it always appeared that they did the same thing to other patiences. Not only does he fix my back issues he also helps with other issues; knees, neck etc. Dr. Dade is more of physical therapist than a Chiropractor (my opinion only).

He is very gentle and the results from his work are amazing. The sense of "will being" is undeniable when you leave his office. His is simple a remarkable Chiropractor/Therapist.

I had my first visit with Dade this morning and the results far outweighed my expectations. You know how it is when you don't feel good and your body is aching and you just want to kind of give up. Well, after Dade was finished adjusting me I felt like a new person. Thank you so much Dade. Looking forward to my next visit.!

I have been seeing Dr. Donovan for years! His office has downsized considerably due to rising rents and tech businesses coming into the office space.but thankfully he's still in the same location!. I am thankful that whoever owns his office building has found a way to make it work so that our favorite local chiropractor is still doing his thing. It would be a great loss to San Mateo if that had not been the outcome. As you can see from his reviews we all LOVE Dr. Donovan.

Dr. Donovan is a gem! He is a healer not a hurter. I've seen 2 other chiros b4 I found Dr. Dade & I never found the relief I have since I started seeing him. I have a rare neurological disorder & Dr. Donovan was honest in his approach & assessment of me. I am the first patient he's had w/this condition. He uses soft tissue manipulations & supports me btwn my infusions I receive every 3 wks 2 treat my disorder. He is very knowledgeable, skilled & compassionate as well as his entire office staff. I would give him 10 stars if I could!

Dr. Donovan has been my "acting primary care physician" couple years after I started rock climbing, which is my "midlife crisis hobby". I'm generally healthy, fit and conscientious about healthy living. Although climbing puts enormous stress on my joints, tendons, and muscles, literally from head to toe. I'm still climbing passionately all thanks to Dr. Donovan for putting and keeping my overused body back in order.

Dr. Donovan is amazing! I'm a dentist and threw out my neck and felt debilitated. Dr. Donovan made every effort to see me the same day even though it was past his normal office hours. Dr. D did a thorough examination and intake history. He addressed all of my concerns even those unrelated to the main reason I came in. After the history, he did a variety of expert adjustments with varying equipment and I could tell immediately a difference in my range of motion. It's been 2 days since I saw him and I'm 90% better.

He showed me stretches and gave me advice for good aftercare. He was super honest and very personable. If you're looking for a chiropractor, I give him my highest recommendation. Thanks Dr. D!

I have been seeing Dr Donovan on and off for over 10 years and he is just amazing. He can tell you what's hurting just by looking at you. Just recently went to him because I was told I have arthritis in my hip and he worked on it a few visits and wow very little pain and gave me some exercises to do. Feeling so much better. I highly recommend him. 5 stars for sure

I have been seeing Dr. Donovan since he open his practice and am very happy, with his care that he gives. I have seen him for almost every part of my body that I have injured, I use to be a truck driver and my body took a beating but he never gives up always wants to help me. I thank him for that.

Excellent Chiropractic office. From the front-desk to the massage therapist to the chiropractor - every one is top notch, first rate. Dr Donovan provides a chiropractic adjustment during the 20 minute session, and also takes a look at any other part of your body that may be giving you trouble. I really appreciate the adjustment as well as the continued guidance towards overall body support and strength.

I am glad that he is certified in ART therapy, because I have felt much relief in my shoulder during my visits with him this year. He also took a look at my ankle and is helping it heal in a better way for my overall structure and posture. Dr Donovan is very knowledgeable and kind, and I am so happy that I found his office on Yelp!

Dr. Dade practices a hands-on form of chiropractic care that's both rare and powerful. I've seen other chiropractors - and now that I've discovered this approach, and experienced Dr. Dade's insightful and effective care, I would never go anywhere else. I am so grateful to have found this office. Thanks Dr. Dade!

Dr Donovan is very thorough in his assessment, asks the right questions and really listens to my needs. I went to him when I first moved to the area because I had plantar - his treatment helped me get rid of it quickly. Due to some back pain last week, I was able to get in the same day. Even though I hadn't been in in over a year, everyone treated me with respect and kindness. His office staff, Dee and Linda are helpful and equally kind. Highly recommend Dr. Donovan as he really cares about his patients.

The Very best chiropractor I've ever been to - and I've been to a lot over the decades. He is a natural healer and isn't just a snapper and cracker. He utilizes the ART method (look it up on his website), which I've found to be very helpful. He also has a wonderful massage therapist, Maren Collins, who uses several modalities including Lymphatic Drainage. Everyone in the office had a very pleasant caring attitude, and I cannot recommend them enough.

If I could give him more stars, I would. On a one-to-ten scale, I would give him an eleven! Dr. Donovan is very thorough in his assessment and treatment. I went in for back pain that I had neglected for years (I slouch and have a very full chest). Immediately after his first treatment, I started to feel so much better. He is very gentle and even knows to treat areas of pain you don't tell him about.

I had surgery on my foot last year and I will just say the experience was a bit of a nightmare. I told Dr. Donovan about the pain I was still experiencing in my foot almost now a year later. Not only did he do adjustments on my foot (I didn't even know chiropractors could do this), he watched how I walked and recommended excellent inexpensive foot inserts.

My own podiatrist I saw didn't do this. My foot feels so much better, the swelling went down and it's all thanks to Dr. Donovan. Dr. Donovan has a bedside manner that is hard to find in doctors these days. You can tell he genuinely cares and will go above and beyond to help you. He has fit me in on rather short notice and he indicates on his voicemail greeting he will go beyond business hours to help his patients.

One last thing, his office staff is super. I don't think I have ever looked so forward to visiting a doctor's office. They are all very good to me. If you're looking for a chiropractor, look no further. Dr Donovan and his staff will take excellent care of you!

I have seen Dr. Dade on two separate occasions over the years and I have to say I'm so impressed. I'd never seen a chiropractor before Dr. Dade. I wasn't entirely sure what they did. Now I know. They help with a lot of things. Everyday I drink a powdered nutritional supplement with juice called Deeper Greens. It's how I get my daily servings of fruit and vegetables.

I didn't know about this product, but Dr. Dade recommended it since I want to, but don't eat enough fruits and veggies during the day. I'm now hooked on it. My latest reason for seeing Dr. Dade was a case of frozen shoulder. This is where you get intense pain around the shoulder and down through the arm. It came on without any actual trigger event and has caused me a lot of pain. Dr. Dade has helped me to stabilize the pain and slowly reverse its course to get better.

He told me after the first appointment that I shouldn't worry and that it would get better. I appreciated his sincere confidence. It was well placed as I am certainly on the mend. What I really like about Dr. Dade is his deep knowledge of chiropractic and the human body, nutrition, and Active Release Technique, which he used with me for another condition.

He really knows so much. He's always on time, too, which is great. I truly recommend him to others. My Growth Coach tip for business improvement: Give your chiropractic patients who've not seen Maren, your massage therapist, a complimentary short session with her so they can experience her service, too. I suspect that a percentage of them would then become her clients as well.

I have known Dr. Dade for years and have been a patient of his. I went to see him for shoulder pain. His manner is sincere, gentle and inquisitive. He really wants to get to the bottom of the issue that's affecting you. I was impressed by how smart Dr. Dade was about all things physiological and not just the areas that chiropractors usually specialize in including nutrition.

I now take a product every day called Deeper Greens that was recommended to me by Dr. Dade. It helps me get my full serving of fruits and veggies every day. He's a great resource.

I've been seeing Dr. Dade on a few times a year basis for over ten years. Whenever things just aren't feeling right, Dr. Dade fixes me up with quick, effective treatments, and sends me home with preventive exercises that work. Over the years I've seen Dr. Dade's expertise expand to include new methods and techniques and as a result his practice has grown accordingly. Dr Dade cares about his patients, and has a great sense of humor, so a visit to him is like seeing an old friend. If you are looking for an effective, professional, caring chiropractor with a holistic approach to your health, visit Dr. Dade Donovan.

Let me just start by saying, I finished the stormy and miserable California International Marathon on Sunday. It may have been the slowest marathon of my life, but I was amazed that I actually was able to finish it, and that is all thanks to Dr. Donovan. I have always had a lot of running injuries, due to pushing myself way too hard and going way too fast.

Not to mention I have one leg shorter than the other and mild scoliosis which I'm sure doesn't help. It was no surprise that I ended up feeling some injuries coming on after completing two half marathons back to back. I went to see Dr. Donovan because I had CIM coming up in about two months and I knew I'd need help if I were to complete it.

I was behind in the schedule and was forced to do an aggressive training schedule. 13 miles to 15, to 18, to 20 and down. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I saw Dr. Donovan weekly, and he was always quick to throw my body back into alignment, all the while keeping me entertained by friendly chats and helpful body maintenance advice. He's a very approachable Dr, and I feel very comfortable with him and we share the same slightly sarcastic humor.

The ART he did was gentle but effective. I wasn't screaming in pain and there were no tears running down my cheeks. I did improve my flexibility, motion and balance though. I plan on visiting Dr. Donovan regularly even without any injuries because I think he will keep things in line and help me become a better athlete. I think the fact that I finished the race with borderline injuries and an aggressive training schedule shows that Dr. Donovan knows what he's doing!

Dr Dade Donovan has a profound understanding of the human body physiology, anatomy and biochemistry. Dr Donovan provides his clients with a holistic approach to pain management and help you improve your movement and performance. He helped me to overcome and manage a very severe pain episode due to a very serious hip joint problem. I highly recommend his professional services since besides being a great Chiropractor he is very personable and he actually takes the time to give you the deserved attention and personalized treatment to you as an individual and not just as a number x patient. Thanks Dr Donovan for all your help!

Dr. Donovan fixed my long-standing shoulder problem. I had a torn rotator cuff about 10 years ago that never totally healed after surgery. After 1 session with Dr. Donovan I was able to throw a football 10 yards further. Today I can throw any ball like I did before the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Donovan
