I have not only been a completely satisfied patient of Dr. Craig Davies' for roughly 17 year, now,…read morebut also refer my massage therapy clients and patients to him on a regular basis. Not only is Dr. Davies the finest chiropractor I have ever been treated by (and I have been in the care of one chiropractor or another since 1989, when an on the job injury left me partially paralyzed, until a chiropractor in NY state corrected the misalignment and restored the use of my legs), but his colleagues and support staff are exceptional and incredibly organized in every imaginable way! So much so, in fact, that I've come to think of several of them (and Dr. Davies, himself) more as trusted friends than just healthcare service providers.
I cannot recommend him or them highly enough!
P. S.: In another commentator's review, there were some pretty harsh words about this office's pricing, and as a fellow healthcare practitioner, I'd like to address these, if I may...
If someone walks into an office, receives quality care and pays by cash or check before they leave, that's ideal. So if the fee is $100, the office has $100 it can count on to pay its bills. If the patient pays that $100 with their debit or credit card, the office receives somewhere between $91.40-95 for their efforts; the rest comes out in bank fees. If the office has to bill the person for their care, they'll only receive $80.45 out of that $100, after a 30-90 day waiting period, because of the percentages paid to the billing service (15%) and merchant service (credit card processor @ 5% average). And if the patient provides a health insurance card and a tiny little $10-20 co-pay, the office will have to invest at least an additional hour of paperwork and phone calls into the equation, and may have to wait as long as 3-6 months before they're paid somewhere in the vicinity of $42.37, after which, at any point in the next year, the insurer may randomly decide that the treatment wasn't _really_ as necessary as it seemed, at which point, they'll automatically withdraw those funds from the office's bank account! Meanwhile, the office's rent or mortgage, utilities, equipment, accident, property and casualty and workers compensation insurance bills, supplies, the employees' salaries, benefits, sick days and various insurance (health, life, etc.) packages all must be paid on time, no matter how much of those originally billed dollars actually make it in the door!
As such, when caring healthcare professionals have different billing rates for what appears to be the same thing, it might help to ask yourself this one question: "Would I charge the same amount to pick up and carry a 50 lb. bag of sand from my front door to the car as I would to carry it ten city blocks?" If the answer is no, then consider how much effort folks like Drs. Barbati, Davies, and Brown and their employees (and all of the other healthcare professionals you meet) are actually investing into your wellbeing, before you knock them. From where I stand, they're a lot like swans gliding across a pond in a stiff crosswind: you only see them calmly gliding across the surface, but you have no idea how hard those little feet are paddling away, underneath!
