I would like to take this opportunity to encourage those of you who still have questions about chiropractor's. I came to Dr. Yoder thru one of his colleagues, I was suffering from a painful spine problem that is constantly occuring as I stand bent over for my job. Dr. Yoder goes into the depth of your body emotional, illness ect. not just treating the outside problems. I am going thru a stessful time in my family right now and all that goes to these places in your body that causes painful joints and neck and back pain. I especially feel blessed by how much time he takes with me his patient. As a Doctor meds are one thing but kindness comes from a heart that is entrusted to God.
Thank-you,
Grace
During my yearly visit from New Delhi, India, my daughter, Renu and granddaughter, Natasha & I met Dr. Yoder at a Fair in Encinitas where we had our initial adjustments. Then we became patients at the Encinitas clinic and are happy that Dr. Yoder's office is now closer to us.
My mother took me to a chiropractic doctor when I was 19 and I found great relief from stiff neck. In India, we don't have doctors trained in chiropractics, so on my yearly visit, I have at least one adjustment from Dr. Yoder and also take the supplements that he suggests to help bolster my health.
As long as I am able to make the journey from India, I plan to keep visiting Dr. Yoder's clinic.
Thank you,
Barbara
During the course of my fortunate internship with you Dr. Yoder, I have gained so much knowledge about the chiropractic field, nutrition, and myself as well. I think my life has now improved over the past 3 weeks. Mentally, I have learned the importance of keeping myself healthy. Through your nutritional guidance, I have a better understanding of foods, mental thoughts, and exercising to help myself keep in better shape. Mentally, I am now stronger and motivated to support myself. At the start of this internship, I was trying to eat right and diet on my own. But with extra help my success has come very far. Now, I actually have chosen to be a healthy person for myself and I am proud of it. I eat healthy and now I have a vast knowledge of what I should eat from the books that I have read. I exercise daily at least an hour of some activity everyday. Also internally, I have felt changes. Since my change in diet, I have had an immense boost in energy, like I don't ever feel lazy anymore just sitting around to play games or watch television. Also I have experienced some weight loss and this has kept me motivated. Through your chiropractic work, I have seen the difficulty involved in what you do. It's not just simply cracking people to make them feel better, but you actually developed a deep relationship with the patients, I have never seen that before. When I observed all the different patients you worked on, it amazed me how you can trigger if something is wrong emotionally, physically, or nutritionally and help fix the problem (Especially the patients dealing with emotional issues. That just put a WOW on my face because it was just so interesting). And becoming a patient myself, I felt through the adjustments that my body felt extremely better afterwards. I understand now how you said that it is important to educate the patients and everything they go through, because it had the same effect on me, and it has definitely changed my life. I am very grateful for what you have done for me and I thank you Dr. Yoder for this rare opportunity. I hope to see you again soon!
I had a wonderful friend and chiropractor for nearly 20 years before she decided to retire. The search for a new health practitioner for myself and my three now teenagers began. There were special circumstances to be considered - I was in a lot of pain, a constant "sciatica" feeling down my left arm and very little blood flow. I was also going through an horrendous divorce and my stress levels were at the max. Additionally, my eldest son has autism and, while he loves being adjusted, he needs someone with a very special touch and sensitivity to his particular needs.
I researched chiropractors in the North County area and finally found a woman in Encinitas. Her approach was more "medical" than I was used to but I felt that my pain level needed a dramatic and new approach. We all began seeing her regularly - at least twice a week - but my pain level never improved In fact, it got much worse) and I also noticed that my children were not as focused in school as they had been. Finally, one day I made an emergency appointment with her because I could not even sleep with the pain I was experiencing. She adjusted me and I left...but I only got as far as sitting in my car in the parking lot. I was crying because I was still in agony and I had no idea what to do.
Then, I noticed a small business card on the floor of my car. My previous chiropractor had called a few weeks previously to give me the number of a local chiropractor that another of her ex patients had found and wanted to recommend. I'd jotted the number down and then promptly forgotten it. Now, I picked it up and immediately called. I got an answering machine and left a message then headed for home. Not 5 minutes later my phone rang. It was David Yoder answering my message.
I gave him a brief run down of my situation and he told me to come by immediately. I did, and by the time I left his office, my pain level had gone from a 9 down to a 2. I was a convert and the next day took my kids to meet David and begin their adjustments. The positive effects were immediate. We all left the office smiling, knowing that we had found a person who respected us, was highly intelligent and had that extra special healing touch. We see David regularly for health maintenance and will continue to do so for as long as he will see us!!
I highly recommend David not only for his high level of chiropractic skill and his focus on natural health and the ability of the body to heal itself, but also his skill in recognizing and treating the emotional symptoms that affect us. Additionally, he has shown not only a willingness but an eagerness to research my son's disability and to bring that knowledge to our visits. We all feel truly blessed to have David Yoder in our lives.

My name is Meredith Langevin. I first came to Dr Yoder over a year ago at my wits end, desperate to not only be rid of my chronic fatigue but to find out what the underlying problem was. Not only has he brought me to a place in my life where I am energetic, optimistic and enthusiastic but I now consider him my primary physician. If I am troubled with something, whether physical or emotional, I see Dr Yoder before I consider any other avenue. 9 times out of 10 I don't need to go any further, together we find the solution.
I have not only found health and vitality at Dr Yoder's office but I have found friends in both Dr Yoder and his office manager Jane. There is laughter and caring the minute you walk in the door, and I am grateful for the whole experience.
Thanks!
Meredith
