Re: Help for sciatica, need good chiropractor (March 2007)
I think your husband would feel very comfortable with my chiropractor, Dyanna Anfang (510-549-9080). She is smart and gentle, and helped me with a similar problem last year. She is in Berkeley near campus.

Re: Chiropractor for pregnancy pubic symphysis pain (Jan 2007)
Dyanna Anfang, DC in Berkeley (510-549-9080) is great. She sees many(!) pregnant patients and I highly recommend her.

Re: Chiropractor who uses a drop table and activator (May 2006)
Dyanna Anfang, a Berkeley chiropractor, uses an activator and drop table and seems knowledgeable. She's not a pusher for nutritional supplements. It's like a Western medicine sort of office. I didn't have any sports-related problems, but she helped me with carpal tunnel syndrome that seemed to emanate from pinched nerves in my spine, and neck problems from anxiety. Her office is on Ellsworth near the UC campus. She took my insurance, which was Blue Shield, so probably takes Blue Cross too. Don't have the number on me, but she's most likely on the internet or in the phone book.
A believer in chiropractic medicine Re: Chiropractor who focuses on structural adjustment (Oct 2006)
My chiropractor is a great (!!) adjuster. Her name is Dyanna Anfang and her office is just south of campus (2234 Channing Way, 510-549-9080). I have had back/neck problems since an accident in college and have seen chiropractors in several cities and states. Dr. Anfang has the best hands of anyone I've seen. And she's a bright, caring person to boot. - well adjusted in Berkeley

Re: Chiropractor who uses a drop table and activator (May 2006)
Wow, do I have a great fit for you. Dr. Dyanna Anfang (510-549-9080, in Berkeley) is a fantastic chiropractor and a wonderful, caring person. She uses a drop table and activator and is the best adjuster I have ever been to (and I was injured in college). She is very interested in your specific needs and is completely focused on the fundamentals of her work- healing your problems or injuries. I know she takes Blue Cross because that is my insurance, and her staff is excellent. It’s like old time care- you don’t feel like you’re an anonymous patient, or that the doctor’s time is more valuable that yours (she is almost always on time except for true emergencies). In my experience it’s very hard to find doctors like this anymore.

Re: Chiropractor for postpartum back pain (May 2006)
I have seen Dyana Anfang, a chiropractor in Central Berkeley recommended on this site several times previously. She is wonderful. She uses the drop-table and activator, and is a ''real person'', kind, caring and all-around wonderful. I don't know about the Blue Cross, but she takes Blue Shield HMO. Nora

Re: Chiropractor for postpartum back pain (May 2006)
Connie, I’d highly recommend Dyanna Anfang. She has two children herself and works with lots of postpartum women (there are birth announcements and thank you notes from patients- with pictures of their newborns- all over the front of the office). She is in Berkeley near the Cal campus and her phone number is 549-9080.

Re: Chiropractors covered by Kaiser (Oct 2005)
Hi. I'm extremely happy with my chiropractor, Dr. Dyanna Anfang. She has been both extremely caring and very effective in treating me. I would especially recommend her for someone who has never seen a chiropractor before because she explains her conclusions thoroughly and tells you exactly what she is going to do before she does it (and why). Good luck.

Re: Chiropractor for kinks in neck and lower back pain (May 2005)
I believe I feel similarly to you; when I'm in pain I want a chiropractor who can adjust me in exactly the ''right way'' (gently but firmly, and in precisely the right places, I guess I'd call it). I'd recommend Dyanna Anfang, D.C. (510-549-9080). Her office is in Berkeley just south of campus, on Channing Way between Shattuck and Telegraph. It's not in the location you were looking for, but (thankfully!) there's off street parking and she's definitely worth the trip. - well-adjusted

Re: Chiropractor for knee and shoulder (May 2005)
I'd say see my chiropractor, Dyanna Anfang, Berkeley, 549-9080. If chiropractic can help with your knee and/or shoulder problems she's great, and if she feels that any other kind of treatment would work better she'll tell you right away and help you find the right person. - anon.

Re: Health Net Chiropractor (April 2005)
As far as finding an excellent chiropractor who is part of the Healthnet network in Berkeley or Oakland, I think you're in luck. I can highly recommend Dr. Dyanna Anfang, whose office is just south of UC Berkeley, at 2234 Channing Way (near Ellsworth). Her number is 549-9080. IMO, Dr. Anfang is an exceptional doctor because she is both caring and empathetic, and highly skilled. She treats patients with respect, explains options clearly and straightforwardly, and empowers patients to become involved in their own care. - another ASHP member

Re: Health Net Chiropractor (April 2005)
I'd highly recommend Dr. Dyanna Anfang in Berkeley (549-9080). She takes HealthNet/ASHP, and her assistant checks your coverage specifics online- they are very good about dealing with these things. One great thing about the practice is that the doctor and the office donmt run like the kind of medical practice we all try to avoid. Itms very friendly and the doctor is almost always on time (except for true emergencies). But Dr. Anfang is the real find. She is a great, gentle adjuster (I have seen many before!) and is extremely knowledgeable and always willing to share her information. IMO she is a truly concerned and compassionate healer and person. - Happy patient with insurance

Re: Chiropractors covered on my health plan

RE: Dr. Anfang--I really recommend her! My husband has gone to her for years, and when I had a bad injury last winter, I sought her help. She knew exactly what the problem was (SI joint) and what to do to fix the injury. I've been seeing her every 3 weeks for ''maintenance'' since. Christine

I started seeing Dr. Anfang after a bike accident and have been very happy with her. My shoulder and back are much improved. She is very nice and her office is convenient to campus (and as a bonus has a parking garage for patients.) Carrie

I can highly recommend Dyanna Anfang. She is both a caring person and an excellent chiropractor. I have had great results with her and am very comfortable recommending her to others. As much as is possible these days, she seems to try to run an "old fashioned" office where you are treated with respect and concern. I don't know the other two names on your list. - a happy patient

2001

I went to Dyanna Anfang for about 6 months. She is very nice....but after going for 6 months, and not seeing any real improvement, and the same things done to me week after week, I got frustrated and went to a physical therapist who seemed to help me more.

I have used Dyanna since my first pregnancy 3 years ago and have found her to be wonderful! I highly recommend her. For me she was a great diagnostician and was able to alleviate my back pain during two pregnancies and post partum periods. Her officeperson, Cathy is wonderfully nice and very professional as well. Dyanna was always on time (which is important to me) and she spent alot of time with me working my sore muscles and adjusting me. Good luck. Laura
