I was referred to Space for Wellness by a friend after I recently felt a slight neck ache when I woke up in the mornings. I initially thought it was a very minor issue because it typically went away after ten minutes, but after coming here, I was exposed to a whole set of new knowledge. This type of knowledge is extremely important because most people are unaware of their health/back issues until it is too late. I especially liked that DJ, the doctor, was very honest with me from the very beginning. He immediately told me after checking my spine that it was out of alignment and bent to the right which could lead to Sclerosis at older age; even took a picture because I didn’t believe him. He also told me that my sitting posture lacked curvature in lower spine and that I was placing way too much weight on my right leg when walking; these 2 items he told me I needed to correct to re-align my back. The doctor then proceeded to check certain sensitive points on my body. DJ is really amazing with his hands and touch. He was able to make both sides of my neck crack, both sides of my waist crack, and both arms crack. I honestly had never heard so many cracking sounds in my life; DJ knew the exact pressure points to hit; he is both firm and gentle at the same time. DJ noticed my uptightness due to the crackimg (because I am naturally flexible, I had stopped stretching, a bad idea) and prescribed for me yoga/meditation/stretching and more strength training; he told me this would also help me re-align my back. Anyway the biggest take-away from my session is that I am sooooo much more conscious of my health as a result of very basic things like posture and walking! I started to notice my awkward walk and made attempts to correct it which I would have been oblivious to otherwise. As a result of this Chiropractic exam, I’ve honestly become more psychologically and emotionally disciplined. The thing I realize is that it is so important to be physically fit to be mentally fit in order to obtain personal and career success. And DJ is a prime example of that. He uses the advice he gives clients to truly look amazing for his age and is so talented in what he does. It really inspires me to do the same. I like all his tips about diet, exercise, posture; DJ has great aura. It has really changed my outlook on life and made me far more aware of my body so I can have more energy to go after...
Read moreI'm wrapping up the most frustrating encounter with a medical professional of my life, and it's been ongoing for over seven months. It's complicated, and you're welcome to message me if you'd like to hear full details, but here's the gist of my experience:
Actual sample conversation: "I try to get all my new patients started on a juice cleanse." "Remember how I've said that I have no disposable income and can only pay for things that will be covered by my HRA card?" "What's that?" He asked every time I brought this up. "It's a card that pays the deductible on procedures covered by insurance." I said for the nth time. "I'm sure we can code it in some way that will be fine." "A juice cleanse? Really? It's food though." "If the HRA thing is a credit card, it shouldn't be a problem."
Dr. Joe is a liar who on multiple occasions assured me that everything he prescribed would be approved by my insurance, then refused to take responsibility when it wasn't. This ranged from a juice cleanse, to massages, to pilates (all of which his office stood to profit from). I was prudent enough to avoid the juice cleanse, but unfortunately I trusted him and believed the latter two. I asked him to either refund the unapproved appointments or provide me or my insurance company with their requested information, detailing why he prescribed pilates and massages as part of my recovery. Despite assuring me he would 'figure this out', he refused to answer or respond to all contact from my insurance company. After reaching out with countless polite emails and phone calls (95% of which were unreturned), it still took him from September 2013 to May 2014 to send me my "medical records" from his appointments. They should have been pages, but it turned out to be paragraph that he wrote in December, yet somehow still couldn't find the time to send until now. My insurance company thought it was a joke. I don't know if he doesn't know how to write SOPA notes, or just chooses not to.
Why not one star? When he actually does his job, he's a perfectly serviceable chiropractor. Just don't expect him to be a courteous professional or make any effort to work with your...
