Success Stories

Years of experience and expertise are best demonstrated by patients' loyalty and recommendations.

Here are some of the comments we have received from our patients:

What were your major complaints when you first came to see Dr. Presnick?
Before coming to Dr. Presnick, I was informed by my medical doctors that I had carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand with severe numbness. The hand surgeon I consulted recommended surgery.

What treatments or procedures have you tried before coming to our office?
Prior coming to Dr. Presnick, I tried a form of deep tissue manipulations and some acupuncture.

What did Dr. Presnick recommend in your case?
Dr. Bruce designed a complete non-surgical treatment plan and sat down with me and explained it thoroughly. I decided to give it a shot to avoid surgery.

How has your health changed since being under the care of Dr. Presnick?
Presently, I have no pain or numbness in my hand or wrist and I have been able to avoid surgery. I could still do most activities but with pain and numbness. Now that is gone and my workouts are better and so is my work day.

What couldn’t you do before that you can do now?
I am a self-employed electrical contractor and my hands are my livelihood. Not only has Dr. Bruce put me back in action, but the stress of not knowing what the future holds is gone.

Anything else you would like to add?
Feel free to use my name and phone number! I’ll give a verbal testimony to anyone. You absolutely cannot put a monetary value on the care, advice and friendship that I continue to receive!

As a swimmer and active businessperson, I normally do not have pain or discomfort. Recently, however, my neck was quite painful and it was hard to move it without discomfit.

After three visits, all is back to normal. In fact, I have greater range of motion resulting from your recommended exercises.

Thanks for the excellent treatment

Just a note to thank you for the time and concern you have put into the program for our employees here at the police department. I can't guarantee how many will take advantage of your generous services, however, the information has been posted for all our personnel. I personally may find the need to take advantage of your offer one of these days.

Again, Dr. Presnick, thank you and your husband for your concern. Your interests in our well-being is most plaudible and your contributions to the community are commendable.

Should I be of any assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

My daughter was born with acute congenital torticollis. This caused her to be able to only look in one direction and to always sleep on one side of her head. This was causing her head to grow non-symmetrically and there was fear of brain damage as well as sight damage. The medical doctors were going to give her until the age of six months and then were going to surgically correct the muscle.

My wife and I were not at all pleased about someone cutting on our first child at such a tender age. We consulted with Dr. Bruce Presnick, a local Pleasant Hill chiropractor. He asked only to be given a chance and once again we were reluctant, but decided this option was better than waiting for the knife.

Dr. Presnick adjusted my two-month old daughter with the kindest of care--she saw him three times a week and he explained it would be a gradual process. After a month we could already see some change. After three months she was sleeping on both sides of her head and had progressed to the point where she could look 90 degrees in both directions. Her head was growing in a normal and symmetrical manner. The medical doctors were not told of her chiropractic care, and they were amazed at how she was "outgrowing" the problem.

My daughter is now 18 months old and sees Dr. Presnick only about once every two months. To this date he has not charged us one penny for her care. It would be hard to put into dollars and cents the gratification we feel in our hearts for this service. As there's not much else I can do, I'd like to publish this article on one of the finer citizens of the Diablo Valley.

Thanks, Dr. Presnick!

This letter is written to say "THANK YOU" for helping our son, Tanner.

Tanner suffered with ear infections for literally 2 years of his life and was on antibiotics most of this time. Now, thanks to you, he doesn't have to suffer any longer.

You told me to take Tanner off dairy and to build his immune system with various natural vitamins. Since we began this regimen, Tanner has been infection free!! We are so relieved.

He's such a happier little boy now that he's feeling better. He hasn't had a stuffed up nose since we started the regimen you gave us, and he hasn't cried at night with stomach pain caused from the antibiotics.

We were really amazed to learn that most pediatricians don't tell their patients about such things (getting off dairy), and feel very fortunate to have found someone like you who truly cares and who is educated in this field of medicine.

I also wish to thank you for taking the time to call me just to ask how Tanner is doing. I'm not used to this kind of treatment, and it feels GOOD. I know that you actually care for Tanner, you have shown your concern many times, and it's greatly appreciated.

Tanner thanks you most of all!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce and Laura Presnick within the past few months. Until I met them I had a very limited knowledge of what chiropractors do and how they do it and had a generally negative opinion about chiropractic value.

While I am far from an expert about chiropractic work, I've learned enough to realize that it provides another dimension in patient care that is very valuable.

Dr.'s Presnick have taken the time to invite me to their offices and show me some of what they do. I have undergone a few weeks of treatment myself and have subsequently sent a few of my own patients to them for treatment. I have been pleasantly surprised by the results.

I have found both Bruce and Laura to be intelligent, caring and capable chiropractors who are devoted to their patients. I have the highest regards for their integrity and intend to continue using their services for my selected patients.

Thank you for being my chiropractor. I used to hate going to the chiropractor, but now it's different. I like going to the chiropractor, No I love going to the chiropractor. My chiropractor I used to go to was so Different. It was like well it seems that I'm sorta your friend, I mean I look forward to seeing you. When I went to the other chiropractor we weren't friends, so now I like having a chiropractor.

Thank you for being my friend.
