I've been seeing Dr. Yuen for chiropractic care for the better part of this year. I was in tremendous pain in my upper back and chest when I first sought his treatment. He listened carefully to all of my symptoms and prescribed treatment that dealt immediately with the acute pain and then holistically treated the long-term/chronic pain. Dr. Yuen allows sufficient time for thorough appointments and cares genuinely about his patients' health and fitness.

As an allopathic physician (cardiologist), I have been exposed to a healthy amount of skepticism regarding the potential of chiropractic. To those who doubt, I know I need only to refer them to Dr. Chuck. I started going to see him when he was down at Hills Plaza Sport and Spine in 2006. At the time, I had a solid 30 years of stress, wear and tear built up throughout my back that had caused all kinds of problems for me. After seeing folks roll through internal medicine, orthopedics, and neurosurgery clinics for 7 years without ever seeing any treatment that seemed to help, I decided to expand my horizons. Needless to say, I'm glad I did.

As a chiropractor, Dr. Chuck is thorough, patient, and skilled. Unlike some chiropractors I've seen since, he takes a great deal of time, not only at the initial evaluation visits, but at every visit. Listening to both symptoms and the patient's body to guide his efforts. Six months later, my back felt better than it had, probably in 15 years, and without any of the sedating medicines or highly morbid (and largely unsuccessful) back surgeries I have watched people go through. While I favor allopathic medicine for many things, for situations such as mine, I would refer to a chiropractor like Dr. Chuck first any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Dr. Chuck, though, quickly becomes more than a chiropractor - his personality and generosity lead him inevitably to become a good friend and partner in working towards your health. I can tell you after working with hundreds of doctors, that this is an unfortunately rare quality in health care, and one that makes Dr. Chuck particularly special. I have referred friends, family, and even my own patients to him, and I will continue to do so wherever he sets up shop!

Wayne Yuen is a GREAT chiropractor bar none. I've been to three other chiropractors in the past and nobody has spent more time and attention to detail than Mr. Yuen. I can't say enough about how Dr. Yuen has helped my posture and relieved my pain. He even gives you tips on how to strengthen your weak spots at the gym.

I came to Dr. Chuck at the end of my first semester at law school with a very sore back and extremely tight and knotted-up shoulders with burning pain, as well as daily headaches.

During my first appointment, Dr. Chuck spent over an hour going over my medical history and examining my posture and alignment. He is very serious about his work and extremely thorough. He explained everything he was doing every step of the way and made me feel very comfortable and at ease.

I have since been back a few times and I don't have any pain at all: no burning pain, no headaches, nothing! Not only has Dr. Chuck helped realign my body, he also showed me different stretches I can do on my own at home.

I would highly recommend paying Dr. Chuck a visit if you have any aches or pains, as well as simply for an overall "tuneup".

I will definitely keep coming back as I intend on always feeling this great!

Dr Wayne Yuen is the best Chiropractor I have ever had (had 3 over many years). I found him off Yelp, and agree with the rave reviews given by others. He absolutely gives as much time to really deal with the different issues, and found solutions easily to all. He helped with an old neck injury that I had just written off, while I was seeking a mid back injury after a wakeboard crash. Cant say enough about his care, and this is coming from a nurse (-:

In the fall of 2007 I injured my rotator cuff while playing golf. I was able to mask the pain with over the counter drugs. However, with no healing of the injury, plus noticeable muscle loss, my friends and others who had experienced the same kind of injury advised me to consider corrective surgery. Having had a successful experience in the past with chiropractic treatment, I sought Dr. Affatato's help. In one session Dr. Chuck assessed the movement of my shoulder and isolated which of the four major muscles I had injured. He gave me specific strengthening exercises with the proper amount of weight to use. After following Dr. Chuck's prescription, my rotator cuff completely healed in one month. I have played golf with no pain or restricted rotation of my shoulder since.

At 69 yrs. of age, to recover from such an injury in such a short time period is a testament in itself of Dr. Chuck's skill and knowledge as a Chiropractic Physician.

Less Pain, Excellent Service, Thank you! ;) I've been seeing Dr. Yuen for several years. I've had a history of back problems caused by various things, most notably work. I work in front of the computer for long hours putting tremendous strain on my neck and upper back. After several office visits with Dr. Yuen, I felt a lot of improvement including less pain. Not only was he able to help alleviate some of the discomforts, he was very informative and an excellent educator. Most people don't realize that some of their actions may be contributing to their on-going back pains. He recommended several exercises which have helped strengthen my back. I would highly recommend Dr. Yuen!

As a personal trainer I have teamed up with Dr. Chuck to work together with our patients/clients to provide the best body work possible for people in need of better health.

He has an in-depth knowledge and seasoned experience with a broad spectrum of the population, making him an outstanding source of Chiropractic care.

He respects his patients and provides care to their exact needs.

I can, with confidence, recommend Dr. Chuck and his work. He is amongst the best body workers I know.

Gentle, Caring, & Knowledgeable Chiropractor. I sought the professional advice and treatment of Dr. Wayne for neck and back pain about 1 year ago. I am an active and competitive tennis player and have had problems with my back on/off for long time. I've tried many types of treatment such as massage, physical therapy, massage, pain medications and many more. Then a friend of mine suggested that I try a Chiropractor. I was still skeptical at first but after receiving just a few sessions from him, i felt tremendous improvement. My pain has decreased greatly and occurs less frequently than before. I feel more flexible and I definitely notice improvement with my tennis game! I now get a check up and an spinal adjustment twice a month which seem to keep my back in good health and feeling almost pain free. Thank you Dr. Wayne!

Dr. Wayne educated me about proper spinal care and the importance of chiropractic adjustments for a healthy back. He is very knowlegeable and patient when he evaluated and treated my problem. I highly recommend giving Dr. Wayne a try if you have any neck or back problems.

 I've been a Chiropractor for 21 years and as such have had many adjustments by many chiropractors. Dr. Affatato worked for me for a few years and I can tell you he is an extremely competent chiropractic physician. He has great chiropractic skills and is extremely knowledgeable. He was fun to work with and I miss his adjustments as well.

I recommend you make an appointment with Dr. Affatato before going anywhere else.

Dr. Dan R.

Chiropractor with magic hands.  I had been in a car accident recently, and suffered a neck injury which didn't seem to be alleviated from prescribed meds. A couple of days after the accident, I experienced stiffness on my neck, shoulders and lower back which got worse as the days passed. I have never been to a chiropractor before seeing Dr. Yuen, so I must say I had some apprehensions about my first visit. But, after my first visit the stiffness on my neck and shoulders diminished and I experienced a deep sense of relief and release. Dr. Yuen's gentle hands and informative approach make him a ersonable and great doctor.

I had been suffering from neck pain and chronic tension headaches for over a year when I decided to see Dr.Affatato per a friend's recommendation. I was very pleased that he took the time to listen to my concerns as I can get nervous with adjustments. Dr. Affatato was very gentle and did a great job explaining everything to me. He even gave me tips on exercises and stretches that I can do on my own.

I have been a patient of his for about a month and my headaches are now a thing of the past. I am also sleeping better which is an added bonus!

I highly recommend Dr. Affatato!

I highly recommend Dr. Wayne. I went to a few different chiropractors looking to solve a bad headache I'd been getting for years with no luck. At the suggestion of a friend I went to see him. In my first session he recognized that my jaw was offset ever so slightly and it was causing pressure on one side of my head.  After only a handful of sessions he was able to fix something I thought I'd have to live with for the rest of my life! Thanks Dr. Wayne!  

I also recommend the masseuse Gina who works with him. She is very intuitive and can target problem areas with absolute precision.

Thanks to Dr. Chuck for fixing my back problem. I owe my pain free days and peaceful nights to him. 

He is very professional, friendly & really knows his stuff! Every session with him was very educative, he explained in detail what was wrong with my back. Its very important for a patient to know what's happening with their body/back & Dr. Affatato did a very good job of that. He gave me a lot of useful stretch exercises & tips which shooed away my back problem :)

I highly recommend Dr. Charles Affatato!

Dr. Wayne is great. Not only is he helping me work out some major pain in my back and shoulder, but he's helping me learn how to maintain my health as well. Always a good guy to talk to. Very open and helps you understand what's going on with your body.

OUCH, MY BACK HURTS! Lol, that's what I was saying until I paid a visit to Dr. Chuck Affatato. My back has been anything but exceptional due to car accident a few years back, my rather large breast augmentation, and continual abusing snowboarding (or rather falling delightfully down a mountain side on my butt) trips. My symptoms included tight neck and shoulders as well as a shooting pain up my spine 1-2 times a day when leaning over. I began having trouble sleeping and finally, after a recent agonizing trip to New York, had had enough and went in search of a good Chiropractor. Too my rescue was Dr. Chuck Affatato at Mission Bay Chiropractic!

Upon arrival, I was pleasantly greeted by a very kind and professional Dr. Affatato who gave me a full exam in order to properly asses the causes and cures of my ailments. He showed me how various movements and activities had tightened certain muscles in my back, leading to my pains. For example, having a breast augmentation under the muscle had rolled the muscles (don't ask me what the technical name of these muscles are, but Dr. Affatato knew!) in my shoulders forward, causing tightness in my neck and shoulders. He also gently assessed my lower back pains, noting that due to muscle tightness my left leg was about a half inch shorter than my right... After a complete exam he popped, stretched, and maneuvered my body in ways I never knew possible. By the end of my session my range of motion in my neck and shoulders had drastically improved! He was also able to loosen muscles in my lower back resulting in even legs! Woohoo! Before I pranced out of my session he demonstrated various stretches I could do daily to improve my situation.

That night when I got home I did my stretches as instructed and, for the first time in a few months, slept like a new born baby after a healthy feeding! I feel great, fabulous, like I could mold my body into a human pretzel!

I would recommend Dr. Chuck Affatato and Mission Bay Chiropractic to anyone having back pains! Take care of yourself people, your body is your temple!

I am lucky to have had Dr. Affatato help me with some major neck pain I had. I did not suffer an injury and it may sound silly why I needed his help. I had a major cramp in my neck from repetitive motion and having to stand in an awkward position while making 200 cupcakes for a friends wedding. I couldn't sleep, I was having headaches and nothing worked. I was always unsure about chiropractic work from watching my mom get adjusted as a young child; the adjustments always looked like they hurt. Dr. Affatato made it really relaxing and put me at ease. He was very gentle and after one adjustment and some ice and heat treatments my neck was able to move and my headache was gone.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Chuck!

I had sustained a serious wrist injury earlier this year training. After hearing several good recommendations from people I trust, I went to see Dr. Affatato. I've never had a chiropractor look at one of my injuries before, so naturally I was a bit hesitant.

After several minutes of consultation, Dr. Affatato put my fears at ease.

He is very thorough and the results were amazing. My body healed quickly and efficiently. I have gone back for several checkups and the results are consistent.

I highly recommend Dr. Affatato. He's definitely the real deal.

As a full-time Dj, I spend countless hours throughout the week standing pretty much in one spot all night, with my head cocked to the side, as you might see many Dj's do while trying to hear the next song that's about to come on... and every night, after everyone has partied it up and are ready to go home and sleep it off, I'm usually left with a stiff neck and an aching back. Fortunately enough for me... I have Dr. Chuck Affatato. Besides being one of the cooler Doctors you will ever meet, he really knows his stuff! Before I met Dr. Affatato, I would go home and do my best to stretch or do the whole "self massage" thing to my neck, just to get a good nights rest. On top of having my "Dj Injuries". I actually had shoulder surgery about ten years back which really bothered me up until I started seeing Dr Affatato.

A lot of times the pain would keep me up all night. He has definitely helped me with both of these problems and I can finally get some well deserved sleep!!
