Great experience, home like environment an friendly staff. X-rays were taken which I was able to see the misalignments I was feeling. The Dr explained what I was looking at an made adjustments. The adjustments felt amazing relieving a lot of the intense pain. Instantly relieved sever stress on my nerves. Katona you the Man!

I saw Dr. Katona years ago and truly enjoyed fun conversation as well as his wonderful care. I returned several months ago after a severe neck injury. He tried to adjust my neck but it was not budging, no big surprise as it was pretty locked up. I had X-rays done and asked to have him look at them but for some reason he had not received them yet. He promised to call me the minute he received them but never called. I called the office at least 4 more times and each time I was promised a call back but it never happened. I was completely ghosted and let down by someone I had trusted and considered

I saw Dr. Katona for some minor issues. I visited a few times, regrettably. Dr. Katona actually caused me injury to my sacrum with his aggressive inaccurate adjustments. I had this confirmed with an orthopedist and another Gonstead chiropractor. I now have a very painful situation, whereas before I saw Dr. Katona, I did not. I strongly recommend you avoid this chiropractor. I question his abilities and his ethics.

Originally I had thought Katona Chiropractic was a reliable, trusted, and honest group of individuals who genuinely want to help patients get better from their long term pain. Unfortunately that is not the case. Before the pandemic had happened, I had went with my mom to her treatments to get treatments from the previous doctor that had practice in the clinic.

We are very disappointed about the encounter we had with the clinic. We were not only notified last about our doctor leaving due to the pandemic, but we were also fooled about the cost of how much each treatment will be. When we began

Dr. Katona is the best. He uses the Gonstead method of chiropractic theory which you don't find many chiropractic doctors using. It basically pinpoints the source of your pain. Plus, he actually takes the time to listen to you and is very empathetic and kind. Thanks Dr. Katona!

If anyone can testify to the greatness of Dr. Katona it is I. Just a normal guy who had a BAD pain in the neck due to a car accident. My back was stiff for years and I'm only 38. I went through 4-5 years of a terrible handicap. Always wondering how bad my upper back and neck was going to hurt that day. Took the joy out of my life almost and I was ready for Surgery. I was referred to Dr. Katona by one of my customers who is extremely meticulous so I knew there was a promising chance. Dr. Katona took X-rays and looked at me and said "Adam I can fix this" Nervous and a little skeptical

I absolutely love coming to this office. The ladies in front are extremely professional and kind and very positive. Dr. Katona is also just as warm, and you can tell he genuinely cares for his patients and isn't there for "the buck" as some places are.

On my first arrival all I said was I had back pain. He checked my X-Rays (which I appreciate because I rather a chiropractor be through than just start cracking) and pinpointed to a mass on my neck that probably resulted from trauma I had 15 years ago. True I did have a bike crash right then! With one quick adjustment I was able

Dr. Katona is the best adjuster I've ever been to and I know my body and the health field, being an ex-pro triathlete. When I moved away, it was a sad day, but I still come visit when i'm in town.

This review is long overdue. When I tell others about Dr. Katona, I call him my miracle worker. I've suffered from terrible shin splints all of my life. I mean just going for a 1-mile walk and my shins would be in terrible, sharp pain. I also couldn't wear (low) heels for more than 1 hour at a time. My friend started to see him so I went with her… just to chat with him. He did a quick evaluation on me and recommended x-rays. Little did I know, my spine has had lots of subluxations. I started treatment, received spinal adjustments as well as my feet. This may sound weird but the results were

Dr. Katona is the best. I visited him on a regular basis when I lived in Hayward. His adjustments helped to reduce my chronic back pain. He is one of the most genuine, kind, and competent health care providers I've ever had. If I hadn't have moved so far away, I'd still be a client.

I recommend Dr. Katona for any chiropractic/ adjustment needs. Ive been to many other chiropractors in the area and no one comes close to here. Katona actually takes his time and analyzes your xrays everytime you come in to make sure he gets a general idea of what needs to be fixed. I feel tremendously better walking out of his office every time. Go here to feel results

I saw Dr. Katona as a teenager when I had a sports related injury and he was very effective at alleviating my pain. So, now as an adult I have struggled with lower back pain and finally decided to take care of the problem. After 2 visits with Dr. Katona my back and neck pain are GONE. I continue to go for maintenance and have not had any back pain since. In addition, my range of motion in my neck has improved dramatically. I would highly recommend Dr. Katona to any of my close friends and family. He is a meticulous perfectionist when it comes to his work.

I went to Dr. Katona after feeling some insane pains and aches that no amount of massages would cure. He came highly recommended and I must say that I appreciated his patience. He explained everything to me and explained my x-rays. He did my first adjustment and boy could I feel that he had done some work. I have a long way to go but at least I know it's with someone who is competent. I will keep you all posted with my progress.

I think one cannot be surprised with the extra costs when going in for an initial visit. I could have gone through my insurance and not paid for X-rays but I would

Doctor Katona is healer. He is our family Chiropractic doctor, and we are so fortunate to know him. I do sit and work 12-16 hours a day and I was in constant pain. Doctor Katona, saved me. Even though I still have to work a lot at least I am pain free. He fixed my wife's back, my son's flat feet. We are his patients for 2 years. Doctor Katona is the most gifted Chiropractor that I know. He will make your life more healthy and pain free.

Whenever I was under Dr. Katona's care I felt confident of his skills and advice. I always felt "well adjusted", pardon the pun. Thank you Dr. Katona and your special and polite staff.

My son HAD flat-feet. I took him to doctors and specialists. They all said there is no cure for it, recommended me to buy orthopedic shoes, and hoped for the best.

I was so worried about the problem. I know my son would start to have pain as he gets older and heavier. He couldn't do long walks, play basketball, or soccer.

When I first took my son to Dr. Katona, he did not give us big promises, which I really liked because he was honest. He told us he would do his best to help, and my son would have a chance since he is still so young. (By the way, Dr. Katona has a special X-Ray machine

I am a very active person and have been seeing Dr. Robert Katona, DC for about 15 years for various work out injuries, falls from heights on to my head and neck and multiple car accidents. He is my primary care provider and I go to him first before going the medical route. He has treated me on weekends and after hours and he truly cares for his patients. I am a chiropractor myself and I usually find myself in his waiting room talking to another chiropractor who is there getting care. I believe he cares for approximately 40 other chiropractors in the area. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Best Chiropracter visits I've had thus far. You instantly feel amazing, he takes X-rays and carefully studies every bone by both X-ray and touch before doing any work & absolutely painless. Best of all, I feel like a super man when I walk out. That's when you know this pace is the real deal!

Amazing!

I highly recommend!!

Dr. Katona, a miracle worker! I could barley function after my lower back froze up. He was realistic, knowing I still had to hold my newborn he taught me how to adjust how I held her...

I was in pain for 4 days prior to seeing him; I was seeing other acupuncturists and self medicating.

I saw him, and things weren't healed right away, but he was honest. [I had this back pain months prior and I never treated it] He helped me to heal and I know I'll be continuing to see him for "maintenance" & bettering my posture.
