Came to see Dr Hawkins after watching my grandkids for several days and wrecking my back. He took the time to explain what was wrong and why it happened and realigned my hips that were a little twisted and did some stretching and spinal manipulation. He’s the best and always knows exactly what to do to help!

I am so very grateful to my friend who referred me to Dr. Hawkins! His hyaluronic joint injections are saving my knee from knee replacement! And unlike other practitioners, I can hardly feel the needle or solution going in my knee, if at all! Dr Hawkins is the master of this proceedure and his hands on osteopathic work on me and my friend makes life and the body worth keeping on keeping on!
and all of my friends who I have referred to Dr. Hawkins tell me how grateful to have found Dr. Hawkins.
So very grateful for the healing touch of a doctor who sincerely cares about his patients.
thank you Dr. Hawkins!

When Dr. Dillard relocated from New England to California, our community experienced the loss of an exceptional healthcare provider. Although it has been several years since I was his patient, I am utterly confident that he continues to deliver outstanding care to his patients in California, just as he did here in New England. To this day, I have yet to find another physician who demonstrates such a genuine commitment to addressing each individual's needs. I truly wish he would return to our area. I hope his patients in California recognize the dedication and compassion he brings to his practice; they could not ask for a better doctor.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Tom since he first started in the practice. He is always caring, compassionate, and thoughtful when treating his patients. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about trigger point therapy. Unlike so many physicians, he listens carefully to his patient’s concern are and always provides useful explanations or instructions to questions. My problems are complex & challenging, but he is always patient and positive working to improve them. I’ve been treated by all of the practitioners at the practice and would recommend all of them. Dr Taylor has successfully tackled complex shoulder problems with PRP, saving me from another shoulder surgery. Dr Hawkins has created such a valuable resource for patients struggling with pain & mobility problems. It’s a refreshing option to the typical drugs & surgery solutions offered most places. I don’t know what I’d do without them.

Dr. Schwabenbauer is a skilled and compassionate osteopath who really cares about his patients. I am so grateful for the results of his treatment. He leveled my hips and straightened my shoulders. My posture is more upright and my limp is gone. I have much less stiffness and pain in my back and knees. I always leave his office feeling much better than when I arrived. I feel lucky to be his patient and highly recommend him.

Dr. Brian Hawkins helped me recover jaw mobility, range of motion and function where others have failed. After severe osteoradionecrosis from 45 high dose throat cancer radiation treatments, the staff at Scripps and UCSD told me I should just accept the ‘new normal’ of a severely limited 5–7 mm jaw opening. This effectively restricted me to a totally liquid diet, CPAP for breathing, and continuous pain. Normal jaw opening is 40–50 mm and I was severely limited an my ability to eat, drink, talk and breathe.
Dr. Hawkins, let me know that it would take time, but he was certain that we could permanently restore most of my functional range of motion and eating function.
It’s been about nine months and I now have 35–40 mm of jaw opening. I am now living what is essentially a ‘normal’ life. I can eat, drink, speak and for all appearances can function normally in the world.
I strongly urge you to see Dr. Hawkins, and allow him to guide you through the healing process. He is a blessing to me and my family, and his dedication, skill and insight have literally given me a new chance at living a normal life.

Dr. Schwabenbauer has a unique style which is gentle, effective and yet comprehensive. He is insightful, experienced, and has integrated knowledge with technique in a way that addresses both the underlying structural issues and more immediate symptoms. I have been using various practitioners for over 30 years for traumatic injury, and I highly recommend him as a practitioner. Book a series of sessions with him now, and experience his healing touch.

Three in our family see Dr. Hawkins and his fellow 3 osteopaths. All four osteopaths are experts with neuromuscular treatments. Services we use are manipulations (safe, gentle, effective), hyaluronic acid knee injections ( my husband has put off partial knee replacement for several years now. He returned to his gym for full workouts!), PRP injections that are always guided ( one injection took my hip bursitis and tendonitis away since 2017). And very caring staff!!
