Functional Medicine Bay Area | Daniel Auer DC, IFMCP — Holistic medicine practitioner in San Jose, CA

I was referred to Dr. Auer’s functional medicine practice. My experience has been wonderful and exceptional! With his combination of extensive health knowledge and making a plan tailoring to your needs, my health journey has only gotten better. Dr. A is very thorough and spends time going over your wants and needs. He is very caring and positive. I've learned a lot about health along the way. I am so happy I found him and my health is now on track for a better and healthier lifestyle!

I have been treated by Dr. Auer for allergy and back pain a few months now, and I am very pleased working with him. Dr. Auer has been very helpful in adjusting my physical posture, relieving the pain, and reducing my sensitivity to allergens. My issue was that my back, neck and shoulders become tense and painful very often due to my long day work with the computer; and I have a genetically hypersensitive body type. Dr. Auer has prescribed me a few homeopathic supplements which have been very effective in lowering down my allergy reactions to pollens, dust, and cat dander. He delivers a very effective service, patient and charismatic. I find Dr. Auer very knowledgeable in holistic/homeopathic medicinal and nutritional solutions for long-term health and wellness. His food and nutrition recommendations are necessary for a society in which the food industry has been so contaminated by artificial chemicals, hormones, GMOs, and corrupted by big farming corporations. For these reasons, I highly recommend Dr. Auer!

I'm pretty certain Dr Auer is some kind of wizard. In 2015 I stopped sleeping and had no idea why. Then came the debilitating digestion issues. Every day became a living nightmare. My social and professional life fell apart. My ability to handle the most basic day-to-day stresses like a car passing by evaporated. I lost an alarming amount of weight. 6 different doctors and specialists and their countless expensive tests couldn't tell me why I was so sick. Their solution was to exercise (I already was, 3x-4x a week), eat healthy (I already was - veggies and calorie counting), and pharmaceuticals to throw at the symptoms, which I definitely didn't want. On the other hand, everything Dr. Auer has done and recommended I do has helped me recover my health - which is invaluable. These days i feel so much better than ever before in my life. I think more clearly. I was even able to leave my job and start my own business. I am an entirely different person in how i feel and my outlook on life I seriously can't recommend Dr Auer enough. The guy is a miracle worker and is single-handedly helping me take my life back. And his front desk assistant Brett is always chipper and friendly Thank you so much doctor

Dr. Auer is absolutely the best. I had severe leg and lower back pain and in just 3-4 visits I was completely pain free. His staff is very professional and friendly. I would recommend Dr. Auer to anyone that wants to be pain free and wants to maintain a healthy & active life style.

I’m very happy that I found Dr. Auer’s functional medicine practice. His extensive health knowledge is complemented by his kindness and willingness to help his patients. He spends enough time to do a very thorough evaluation, decide which tests are relevant, and make a plan. All in a super positive, caring, and patient centered way. His office manager is extremely helpful and efficient as well. Overall, a well organized practice, in a nice and convenient location, that offers a very pleasant experience from beginning to end.

Dr Auer is an extremely knowledgeable and talented functional medicine practitioner. He is passionate about helping his patients and stays up to date on the latest research and techniques. I appreciate the usage of blood and stool testing to establish a baseline from which you can track your health improvements. Prior to working with Dr Auer I had not understood my body’s reactions to dairy and excess sugar. My overall health has greatly benefited from his in-depth knowledge of biochemical processes and experience with supplements. I had been disappointed over the years that traditional practitioners did not place heavier emphasis on the food that we eat. In my opinion functional medicine plays a huge role in successful treatment of autoimmune conditions and improving general health. I would highly recommend Dr Auer.

Dr. Auer is very professional, and he treats people fairly. And for sure, he knows what he's doing. Not only does he have traditional chiropractic training and experience, but he was also a personal trainer in his past life, and is also great with nutritional testing and advice. Overall, Dr. Auer is a good guy and wants the best for his patients and I would recommend him to anyone interested in getting great care.

I was lucky enough to be seen by Dr. Auer a few years ago when he was taking new patients. I originally came to see him because of his dual holistic specialties— Applied Kinesiology (AK) & Functional Medicine (labs & nutrition). My experience so far is that he is pretty much at the tip-top of the chiropractic doctor heap. I’ve seen probably a dozen different chiropractors in different cities throughout my life. I can say from experience he is thorough, precise and effective at both chiropractic adjusting as well as addressing some nagging disorders. Yes, I’ve gone down the road of traditional medicine and the best of the best specialists are either still scratching their heads or asking me to take harsh drugs that only seem to mess things up further. So far, I’ve seen a reduction in bodily aches and pains through chiropractic. Nutrition-wise, I have tried to follow the “Dr. Auer diet” and have experienced significant weight loss which was neither planned or expected. So now I’m trying to keep up with it by buying smaller sizes of clothes, lol. Thanks for everything Doc!

I have been seeing Dr. Auer for 5 years for various health issues that were not going to be resolved with Western medicine. I had done alot of research on supplements and was on the right track but with no results. Dr. A did a comprehensive history review with me and recommended supplements and temporary diet changes that helped me lose weight, increase energy and more importantly take control of my health. He does the best adjustments for my TMJ which no one has ever done or recommended. I have taken a few functional tests as my health concerns come up and have learned alot about my body chemistry. Dr. A is very compassionate and cares about me achieving optimal health.

I have been going to see Dr. Auer for about 2.5 years and it has been exponentially better than any other functional medicine doctor or alternative practitioner that I have seen before. I appreciate that Dr. Auer utilizes blood work and lab testing to identify health challenges and also uses them to track progression throughout the course of treatment. He is very transparent about what he is doing and why, while also being flexible about your input and desired treatment approach. The initial consultation is very thorough and after some preliminary testing it was clear that the original reason that I had come in for was a symptom of a much larger systemic problem. I am so grateful that Dr. Auer was able to figure out the source of the problem instead of chasing every symptom that was popping up. It has been exciting (and relieving) to see improvements on both subjective (observed mood and symptoms) and objective (lab test results) measures. While some conditions require a longer period of time to heal, there were some symptoms that literally subsided within the first 3 days of following his protocol. I would highly recommend Dr. Auer and if I can give one piece of advice from my experience so far it would be to follow his recommendations as closely as possible because the benefits are well worth the effort.
