Dr. Shane and Dr. Brittany are amazing. I have been with Awaken since September 2020 and have had…read moregreat results thus far. I have referred several friends since starting at awaken and think it is just the best. The office is always super warm and the staff is so friendly. The staff make the visit very pleasant each time I arrive and leave. Dr. Shane and Dr. Brittany do a wonderful job at explaining treatment, offering advice and helping restore you body's as much as they can. During your first several months they will do x-rays and do nerve assessments to make sure your body is progressing and if it is not they will work on your specific areas that may need more attention. I also love the fact that they are not mask crazies! They are a religious family and play music that is uplifting and friendly for people of all families. This business is an ideal place to bring your family and you know it will be SAFE for everyone. I never feel out-of-place at this local business and feel they do it wonderfully! This is a business that goes above and beyond for their community and gives back to the City of Gainesville in everything they do! I can't recommend this place enough and for sure think you should check it out if your need chiropractor care.

You're always greeted by the very nice receptionist & chiropractor, very nice married couple…read more They're both very kind & thorough. I went there years ago & am happy to be going again. Dr Haines always adjusts me , & I always feel so much better after going in. Great price. He used a clicker & does adjusting manually... I like both. I would suggest to anyone with back or neck problems. They have beds that massage u, & the massage is wonderful. I wish I could purchase one for my home to use every day. On top of that, they both really care about you & getting you better. My insurance covers most of it, so it's wonderfully affordable. I'm going in today & am excited, seeing as my first adjustment in years, on Monday-2 days ago-, really helped. I think my hip already popped back in place partly. I've been to a few chiropractor, & would suggest Dr Haines & his wife, Denise, over anyone else. (Lin & Lee do excellent massage in the same building, as well.) I got into a serious car accident, & was hurt badly, & these people actually care about getting you better. Dr Haines' office is open Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays..& r flexible with their appointment scheduling. "Absolute Health Care Center"=5 stars, Definitely. 352-377-7373. -Satisfied Client

Dr. Zuluaga is the best chiropractor I've ever been to. I've been seeing chiropractors since the…read morelate 1980's and have been treated by many between all the cities I've lived in. Dr. Z is the most thorough and complete one of them all. Best of all he actually listens, which is a rare quality in health care these days. His approach is to treat the root cause of the problem rather than mask it. I'm at the point where I live with almost no pain rather than the constant pain and tightness I felt before. That's 100% because of his capabilities as a chiropractor. He doesn't push silly add-ons like a lot of other chiropractors I've visited, he keeps it where it needs to be: adjustments, instruction on how to lift/move/sit correctly, effective icing of inflamed areas, and healing exercises. If you need a chiropractor who will give you results, Dr. Z is your man. I can't stress how much he's helped my life.

Thanks to Dr. Zuluaga my lifestyle of living has improved significantly. I will never be able to express my gratitude!

As the son of a chiropractor myself, I hold chiropractic care to a higher standard than most. I…read moretend to notice the smaller details that an unaccustomed eye may overlook. Nevertheless, I was very satisfied with my first visit because I was welcomed warmly by the receptionist and seen by the doctor on time with ample discussion about the prognosis, future visits, and was sent on my way. This is what efficient and effective chiropractic care looks like. I am grateful that my father recommended Family Chiropractic Center to me while I am away at college. As a student with intramural sports, and many late nights studying, I recognize I put lots of strain on my body's innate ability to heal itself: ergo chiropractic is the perfect intervention for me. I scheduled for a second appointment and look forward to seeing Dr. Schargel.

The first few months I was treated there, I really enjoyed it. It's very easy to get an appointment…read moreand they're very flexible about cancellations or impromptu visits as long as you call ahead. They take my insurance (Aetna) which even covered copay once I got a referral from my general practitioner, and it was right by my major's department on UF campus which was super convenient. The primary reason I stopped going was because my schedule changed and now I work or have class during ALL their opening hours which are only 3 days a week anyway - pretty common for chiropractors. However I reached a point where I started to feel like it wasn't helping as much as I'd hoped. I still have a lot of upper neck pain and I had to ask for recommendations as far as exercises and stretches that would relieve the pain. Dr. Schargel gave me a few pointers, but he did it so quickly that when I tried it on my own, I'm pretty sure I did it wrong. He's very sweet and clearly passionate about what he does but sometimes his enthusiasm takes over and it leaves you feeling a little rushed. I'm not sure that's the correct description. Maybe a better explanation would be to say that he always seemed in a hurry to get you better but with all that energy, he may have skipped over some crucial steps. I got more information from UF's massage therapist who explained to me that my neck problems were caused by the strain of leaning over sketch pads and paintings, and she took almost 25 minutes to give me informational packets with the phone numbers of other locations on campus that would help me check my posture and spinal stress for free. She also gave me detailed instructions on how to take stress off my upper and lower back which I found a lot more helpful.

I first came here and had an appointment with Dr. Andrew. It went well, liked the way he adjusted…read moreme, listened to my concerns, and his thoroughness. After a couple sessions he mentioned the massage therapist and how it could help with my pain. So I booked an hour with Cathy. She is the sweetest lady I've met and is also very gentle and thorough. I usually like more pressure so I see their other therapist Griff. If you like someone with strong hands Griff is your guy. A few moths go by and life is great. Love my treatment plan, and have no complaints other than the front desk staffer is a bit curt. A few more months go by and I get into a car accident (Sept 2019). This was the worst, because my body was in so much pain. I go to my regularly scheduled massage and am told all my following doctors appointments must be cancelled until I see the doctor for a new initial visit. Okay, not too big of a deal right? WRONG! The next appointment the doctor has available is 3 weeks away! Mind you- I'm in immense pain and am so stiff from the accident. I had a last appointment of the day with Dr. Andrew on the books (previously scheduled) and asked if we can just make that my "new initial visit" appointment. Apparently the new initial appointment visit is a 45 min appointment and my previous booking was only 30. So, you assume I've been seeing Dr. Andrew for over a year now and he just stays the extra 15 mins that day and sees me, right? WRONG AGAIN! I even ask the receptionist to speak with the doctor and explain the predicament to see if he can make this change and help me with the pain I'm in.... nope- answer is no. Well, you can only imagine how upsetting that is. So my adjustments get cancelled for 3 weeks straight until I can see Dr. Andrew for this "new visit". A week and a half later I come in for my normally scheduled massage and am told I cannot see Griff, because I have not done the new patient visit. I'm confused & dying inside because I've been looking forward to this massage for 2 weeks, so I can get some relief from the pain and stiffness I am in. Well this same not so lovely, terrible customer service, front desk staffer tells me I cannot see anyone until this "new visit". What?!? If you knew that 2-weeks ago why did you not tell me that upfront and cancel this appointment, instead of letting me go out of my way to get off early and show up for it!?!? Well at this point I start seeing Emrys (another massage therapist) more and tell him when he is being too hard on me. He is very good a therapeutic masseuse and that is what my body needed. Things are dandy for a few weeks, until I call and have to make some adjustments to my previously scheduled appointments. Found out insurance isn't covering some stuff so I had to cut back on massages and adjustments for the rest of the year. No biggie, cancelled some and re-booked others. Came in today for my end of the day appointment with Emrys and the front desk staffer looks at me and asks why I'm there. I say for my appointment, as she says "we don't have you on the books today". Uhhh what?! I double check my calendar and yep- there it is. She says that all my appointments were cancelled. So I was not going to be seen this week or in two weeks when I had my other appointment I made over the phone. All of this was said with little to no remorse or consideration. Call me crazy, but I was about to lose my mind. I have now been coming here for almost 2 years and am just blown off with a "that's not my fault and those appointments have been booked for someone else" - what?!?! I cannot even believe that this was happening or that it was all being handled so lightly. At this point I don't even know what to do. On the one hand I love the chiropractor and massage therapist, but cannot stand the treatment I receive from the front desk staff.
