Andrea T.

Manager

My name is Andrea Temores and I have been working for Dr. Cady for five years! I am a graduate from the Central County Occupational Center, where I achieved a certificate as a Medical Administrative Assistant. I was born in Mountain View and have lived in this area for most of my life. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my beautiful daughters Alexia, who just turned five this past February, and Aleyna, who just turned two in January.

Dr. Cady has given me a chance to utilize my work skills and move forward in reaching my goals in life. I am really glad that I am able to work with such great people and patients that make me feel at home.

I have seen Dr. Cady a number of times and he never fails to exceed my expectations in addressing my needs. I always leave feeling better than when I came in. He is attentive, responsive, professional, and a good listener.

I have been seeing Dr. Cady off and on for years. Every family member has also seen him. He is kind and empathetic, thorough and effective. He has treated our necks down to hips. Treatments always work. There have been many times that I have only needed one treatment. Highly recommend him.

Had to catch a long haul flight and woke up with a terrible stiff neck.
Looked for a chiropractor in the area and many were closed due to the holiday WE.
I was able to find an appointment on the fly with Dr Cady who welcomed me very warmly, visited me and made a first treatment that reduced my pain at least a little to make me catch the flight. He also advices stretching exercises that helped a great deal during the flight.
Professional, confident, my visit with Dr Cady was very positive experience. I will certainly return for any other neck or back problems.

I came here for my chronic neck pain and rotator cuff. I was initially skeptical about chiropractors, but my PCP said nothing could be done, it’s just muscle tension and just to relax. Well I tried everything — massages (works, but only temporary), hot pads, consciously trying to relax, neck exercises, neck pillows, the gamut.
Finally, I went to Dr. Cady from March 17 — May 10, about twice a week. Amazingly, my neck stopped bothering me. I didn’t notice until my boyfriend commented that I’ve stopped complaining about my neck, and I was like … oh yeah … it hasn’t hurt in a while!
I stopped going cuz I went on vacation and my neck felt so normal that I thought I was cured. But of course, the bad habits that made my neck hurt (tight muscles from stress and chronic computer use, as well as playing hard sports) made it hurt again so I’m back. He put these electrode massager thingies on you — which I think are very beneficial. He had a substitute chiro one time who didn’t use the electrodes and my neck was too tight to crack and I didn’t feel as good as I did with Dr. Cady.
He couldn’t do much for my shoulder, but I’m just grateful I finally get some relief for my neck. I’m still doing exercises and working on relaxing, but I am going to consciously try to go to Dr. Cady once a week even though I get lazy sometimes and don’t feel like driving there. Thank goodness insurance covers part of it.

Dr. Cady is confident and swift in his adjustments, which is critical when having the Occiput neck region adjusted. This adjustment is great for relieving headaches but you always have to specify this with the Dr.‘s. A big plus here is he takes insurance.

Never in all the years I’ve been going to Sunnyvale Chiropractic have I regretted going to Dr Cady’s office for an adjustment. He takes care of my issues and gets it right the first time. Contrary to what another reviewer on here says; Dr Cady does respect individual’s different needs and he DOES encourage other types of treatment. I have had conversations with him about other therapies and medical recommendations to see my primary care physician for various concerns. I think his ethics are solid and I trust his judgment. He has never «talked down all other forms of medicine»…why would he when he has a thriving practice that is very solid and stands on its own merits?
All I can think of is that perhaps the person unhappy with the care given by Dr. Cady misunderstood a conversation?
I can get in to see him with as little as an hours notice, now that IS service!

I injured my back over the weekend 3 days before a trip to Italy. I had middle and lower back spasms and could not move, but Dr. Cady was able to fit me in his already full schedule both of the days before my trip. He is a master of his trade and I am so grateful for this. Thanks again!

I’ve been going to Dr Cady for a few years now, I usually go every 6 – 8 months, though I should probably go every 4 months. But when I ever I do go, I“m in dire need of some pain relief and Dr Cady knows how to treat it… :) I’m not a small guy, but he can adjust me without issue.:) Booking appointments via the web is a big plus for me and i can almost always be seen the same day I book. :)

Dr. Cady has been treating me for a few years now. I first went to Dr. Cady when my TMJ became unbearable. The pain was so bad I could barely swallow without it hurting. It’s been two years since I have seen Dr. Cady for this issue and I have had NO pain at all in the past two years. Recently I started seeing Dr. Cady for tendonitis in my right arm due to my desk job as an administrative assistant. The pain is starting to go away and I have full confidence that in a few months I will be pain free. Overall Dr. Cady seems very experienced in all aspects of the body, not just the back, which is great because I have full confidence that no matter what issues my body may throw at me Dr. Cady will be able to fix them. He has been a life saver. I highly recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr. Cady for five years now. He was first helping me with my chronic back and neck pain. After seeing Dr. Cady my back pain is now gone and only have occasional neck pain.
My husband and I are currently now seeing him for pain from my recent car accident. Although this recovery time is long, I am already feeling much better and noticing a major difference.
His office is always clean and the staff is always friendly and welcoming.
I recommend Dr. Cady to anyone that has back or neck pain. He is very kind, patient and professional.

I have been to a few back benders and I find Scott to be one of the good ones. He is straight forward, honest, and does his job very well. My back has never felt better. Some chiropractors will try to milk you for the most money, Scott treats your condition without pushing you into unneeded treatments.

I started visiting Dr Cady towards the end of my first trimester of pregnancy. My midwife recommended visiting a chiro to help keep my pelvis properly aligned. I saw him for weekly adjustments followed by a massage from one of their massueses, Ma’Pu. I greatly looked forward to those weekly visits! Having an hour+ to spend lying on my ever-​growing tummy on the special maternity pillow was a relief in itself. I still continue to visit them for care now that my baby is a year old and plan to continue doing so. I have been very satisfied with the care I receive from everyone at Dr Cady’s office. Overall the staff is friendly and caring and I would recommend their services to anyone.

Dr. Cady has been my chiropractor since Jan. 2008. He is very thoughtful person. He doesn’t just ask about my health concerns but also about me as a person and my family as well. I feel like an individual not just a patient. He is an excellent doctor. The front office manager, Andrea is wonderful. I am always greeted by first name when I arrive for an appointment. She calls the day before my next appointment to confirm and as a reminder. I recommend Dr. Cady very highly.

I have been a patient of Scott Cady for years. I have been to several chiropractors. What I really appreciate about Scott is that he is very accurate in diagnosing some of my discomforts from work and exercise. I visit Dr Cadys office for maintenance to prevent long term back and neck pain. There has been times where I do not get into his office for a while, due to my work schedule. After one visit, I get a such a great sense of relief and immediate release of strain! Also, I have had a difficult time finding and trusting a chiropractor who would be gentle enough to adjust my neck. Dr. Cady does this very well for me!
I would definately recommend Dr. Cady for back and neck care.

He feels very… by the book. Different people have different bodies, and different bodies need to have different types of treatment. He doesn’t seem to do his own research, or explore different cures. His treatment is sort of «1 size fits all» — «it’s what the book says». He’s also very biased, and talks down all other forms of medicine. You can feel he is doing this for a living, but not really for the sake of helping people.
My back got worse after going to him for a month.

Dr Scott Cady in my eyes is a miracle worker and I am so thankful for him. For 9 months my husband had non-​stop migraines. He went to bed with them and woke up with them as well. Some days they were so bad he would vomit and couldn’t get out of bed. He went to get CAT scans and MRIs and went to see neurologists and nobody could come up with anything. Needless to say, over the counter headache pills did not even make a dent in helping his headaches go away. He was prescribed PRESCRIPTION migraine pills and it did NOTHING for him. He tried to go to an acupuncturist and nothing. After having a nonstop headache for 9 months, my husband was starting to get depressed… I have no idea how he was able to put up with it for so long. By the grace of God I stumbled upon Dr. Cady’s webpage. I was reading it and saw that he treated headaches and was successful in most patients. By this point, I was really skeptic, but also desperate, so I called my husband and he made an appointment. Within 3 appointments his headaches were GONE. At first we went 2 – 3 times a week… it then slowly dwindled down to 2 times a week, then once a week and he now goes once a month. I am so thankful to have found Dr. Cady. I honestly didn’t believe that going to a chiropractic would solve my husbands headaches, but it did. Occasionally my husband will get headaches here and there, but it’s nothing that an Exedrine can’t get rid of. THANK YOU Dr. Scott Cady! :)

A few years ago, I was having some ongoing back pain, and despite several friends’ attempts to convince me that chiropractic care is pure bunk, I decided to give it a try and went to see Dr. Cady (pronounced like ‘Katie’). Over the next year or so, I saw him for adjustments and heat/​pulse therapy (which was so relaxing, I invariably fell asleep every session), and viola! — the pain lessened and lessened, eventually dissipating altogether, and I’ve had zero issues since! Dr. Cady is a stand-​up guy and very personable. He truly demonstrates that he’s got your best interest at heart and is dedicated to your well being.

I am young, healthy, and at the brink of my quarter-​life-​crisis but have unfortunately been blessed with a back of an 80-​year-​old due to multiple car and bike accidents.
Dr. Cady’s staff and services make up for it and I am forever grateful for the medical swedish massages I have received in the last 3 years.
Andrea, the front desk manager is the sweetest assistant I know and takes her job very seriously. She is consistent at calling me the day before an appointment and has never once screwed in scheduling.
The clinic has gone through a high turnover of massagers who grumble about their lives and low hourly pay, but they are all sweet and well-​screened. And Dr. Cady is a great chiropractor. He is my 4th in the last 3 years and the best I’ve had in two states so far.
Minus one star for the skidmarks I’ve seen on the walls (lack of cleaning?) and the electric massage pallates Dr. Cady recycles over and over with clients.
