It's not often you run into a genuinely good person and Stan is the man. He's a fantastic chiro and just a good doctor to know. My family — four kids and my wife — have been seeing him for over 10 years, he's very good especially for the price.

Dr. Gale is the best chiropractor that I have ever been to. He really takes his time with you and gets to the core issues. I would highly recommend him. I love when I leave I feel great and I also have gained new knowledge.

I had a terrible headache one day. I went to see Dr. Gale and he spent time really finding out where the problem was coming from. He adjusted my neck and back and after the session my headache was gone and I felt great! Very happy!

I've had shoulder and neck problems for several years and bounced between different chiropractors, massage therapists, and acupuncturists. I was ready to explore surgical options until a friend suggested I see Dr. Gale first — and I'm so glad I did. He took a lot of time to explain the adjustments and treatments, and helps you build long-term health goals. The office hours are great, and they're wonderful about finding a schedule that works for you (shout out to Julie and Debbie). Thank you, Dr. Gale!

I'm usually anxious when I go to any type of doctor or chiropractor. Dr. Gale is amazing. He is very patient, nice, and listens to what you have to say — he takes a lot of time to sit and explain what he is doing. I felt more energy when I left his office for the first time. I would recommend you try him at least once, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Been seeing Dr. Gale for over a decade, but now I rarely see him because he fixed me up very well — I had severe issues. He's smart, personable, and his staff work with you to get you in and helped. Best to tell him what's going on and stay in communication, he's not a mind reader.

Just visited for my first appointment, went great! Dr. Gale was kind and knowledgeable. He also took time to educate on various things and why he was doing certain procedures. I feel 100x better than when I walked in and can't wait for my next appointment! Highly recommend!

I am blown away by Dr. Stan Gale. Tonight was my first chiropractic experience, and I don't think I'll go anywhere else. He was very thorough in his consultation and took his time explaining how and why chiropractic works. He's created an extremely welcoming atmosphere with help from Julie and his wife Debbie. As an aerialist in training, this will absolutely help me maintain a strong, healthy body. 100% recommend!

I used to be a chiropractic skeptic and now I am a believer. Dr. Gale is patient and sharp — where was my life without him? My first visit was a consultation and questionnaire, and at the end he developed a treatment plan. He explains every step. Dr. Gale is awesome and I give him 5 stars!

Dr. Stan Gale has been my chiropractor since around 1986. In the mid-90s I had severe lower back and knee pain that wasn't going away despite treatment. He ran a series of tests on my digestive system and discovered I'd overloaded it — too much cheese. A psyllium husk regimen and six cheese-free months later, the pain was gone for good. Regular adjustments have kept my health on track ever since. Go for an initial consultation — he'll explain exactly how spinal alignment connects to your health.

Dr. Stan Gale was amazing — a super nice guy, and his wife is amazing too. I went in with severe lower back pain, and he made sure to check my entire spine, not just my lower back. Afterward my back felt way better, and it even fixed heel and toe pain I never thought was related. I highly recommend Dr. Gale — I may be addicted to the chiropractor now.

I use Dr. Gale on a regular basis to help me recover from some of the really tough workouts I do. He's skillful, friendly, and very effective in helping me recover from grueling training. If you need help with physical recovery, Stan is the man you want to see.

Such a shame so many chiropractors have given the profession a bad rep. Dr. Gale may be a chiropractor by trade, but the truth is he's a healer. I once mentioned a random earache — he gave me an adjustment and it drained instantly. He not only treats you, he educates you, and gives you the tools to improve your own health. He's just an incredible being.

I could barely walk when I came in today. Now I have my stride back and it feels good to walk — in one session!

Arm tingling dissipated after treatments from Dr. Gale. My ankle nerve pain lessened, and I even put on some needed weight from eating healthy. I'm smiling more.

Before my treatments I felt tired, achy, and low. Now after 6 visits I have my energy back — I wake up ready to conquer any task. My outlook on life has improved 100%. I'm going camping next week with 5 friends — a trip I would have skipped if it weren't for how good I'm feeling.

I had really bad neck and back pain that not even Advil would touch — probably from old bike and skateboard accidents, plus working under cars and lifting weights. Dr. Gale helped the pain go away and my energy has gone up considerably. Being a short person, I've even had people tell me I'm looking taller.

My knees had been hurting from going up and down steps all day as a construction contractor, and my thumb was sore too. After adjustments and nutritional guidance from Dr. Gale, I did a job with about 50 steps to the front door — a dozen round trips — and finished with no knee soreness at all. Thank you, Dr. Gale!

I've been going to Dr. Gale for 25 years now and he's always been able to help me with whatever I've had going on with my body. He's a total pro, and he always finds the right solution. On top of that he's a great guy who cares about his patients. Simply put, he's the best in the business.

I love Dr. Gale. He is caring, thorough, and makes an effort to communicate as he's working on you. I never feel rushed through an adjustment, and his office is quiet, comfortable, professional, and aesthetic to boot. I just referred a relative of mine — he gets results!

Trissie BadgerFacebook

I have been saved multiple times by Dr. Stan Gale! I am very active and tend to get injured sometimes — every time I throw my back out, it's like a miracle and he fixes it. He helped me before and after I was pregnant. And now he adjusts my baby boy!

Bayou BennettFacebook

Dr. Gale was my chiropractor since 1985, while I lived in Los Angeles, all the way to 2018. He is very thorough and excellent. If you are having pain issues, go for an evaluation.
