“I recently moved to Santa Cruz after leaving a beloved chiropractor who took care of me for many years. After a few false starts, I was fortunate to come upon Dr. Charles Goodwin. He is the most amazing professional in every way imaginable. His level of expertise is top notch, both in chiropractic as well as acupuncture (a surprise added bonus!). Dr. Charly connects with me on a personal level and addresses my needs through an integrative approach, recognizing that my back troubles are intertwined with other issues such as stress, diet, and lifestyle factors. But perhaps above all, Dr. Charly is compassionate and highly intuitive. When he is working with me, he is very attentive to my needs in the moment. I would highly recommend Dr. Charlie to anyone seeking support with back or any other health and wellness issues!”

“Charly Goodwin was my gentle caring rehab recovering from a compression fracture in my spine...I could not be doing everything I do without his expert chiropractic care and personal encouragement. Office staff very understanding, flexible and works with my insurance. Massage services there too!”

“Most compassionate, spiritual, skilled and generous chiropractor/acupuncturist I have ever experienced or known. Charles Goodwin and his staff are some of the most exceptional human beings. I’m serious, I cannot speak more highly of them. Changed my life.”

“Charles Goodwin is both an acupuncturist and a chiropractor but more importantly he is a healer. I cannot express my gratitude to him for caring for me through cancer. He and his staff are lovely and always treat me with kindness. I always feel aligned and healthier after my treatments, Charles Goodwin is a Santa Cruz treasure.”

“I’ve been seeing Charly Goodwin for years, mainly for chiropractic but also for acupuncture, and I find him to be knowledgeable, super caring, and darn good at what he does. Usually an adjustment or two does the trick when something is out of whack, as he knows how to zero in on the problem. His rates (for those of us who are uninsured) are very reasonable for our area.

I am also enamored of his staff, who feel like old friends and go out of their way to be accommodating and make patients comfortable. The atmosphere in the office is calming and soothing and I think that really helps with the healing.

I only wish he were in the office more days or that he had an associate, as he is a popular practitioner and it is sometimes difficult to get an appointment with him for as-needed as opposed to ongoing issues. That said, they certainly do their best to squeeze me in when I’m really hurting!”

“Dr. G is one of those rare individuals who is a gifted healer. I think helping people and healing people is why he is here - it’s evident in his care.
He always is cheerful, attentive, nurturing, and caring. He often helps people who cannot pay him; he helps his community and makes his contribution to making the world a better place.
Charly is both a Chiropractor and an Acupuncturist; he is also very knowledgeable regarding herbal remedies / treatments and supplementation. He has treated me for years, and I am so lucky to have him in my life. He has helped me so much.
His office is relaxing and soothing; his staff is very friendly.
Dr. Goodwin is a gifted healer, and I highly recommend him!
His rates are reasonable and fair as well - having been treated my many different Chiropractors, Dr. Goodwin sticks out as the one who truly cares about his patients and healing them; improving the quality of their life without turning patients all day trying to get rich.

Bravo Charly!”

“I have been going to Charly for 20 years and he is the best and keeps getting better. I do not like going to the doctor so I am not the best regular patient, when I have something wrong I go see Charly, he fixes me up and sends me on my way. No drugs or wasting my time he is great at customer service and efficient, and he always knows how to fix me. Thanks Charly for being excellent!”
