Dr. Andrino gets that secret sixth star from me. Seeing him this past year turned me into a haggard preggo who couldn't even get out of bed to someone who could run after a preschooler, clean a three level house, and much, much more! He truly has made me a believer in the benefits of chiropractic work during pregnancy. His specialty and passion is helping women achieve VBACs and I can attest that he is a miracle worker. Not only was I able to have a VBAC but I gave birth in a record two and a half hours, completely unmedicated. The difference between my complicated first birth and my easy-as-pie second birth was stark and I have Dr. Andrino to thank. He gives great advice, tells funny stories (I'm not sure if I believe all are true, they are so insane!), and spends lots of quality one-on-one time with every patient. I've already recommended him to all my pregnant friends and family! read more

The best prenatal/postnatal chiropractic care! I was hesitant to go in for prenatal care, just because it can be scary, but Dr Andrino is not only skilled at his craft, but he listens and addresses needs in a very individualized basis. I had previously had a cesarean and wanted to get baby #2 in position for a vbac. I was able to have a vbac, and I will say it was the most incredible labor and delivery and I truly pay tribute to Dr Andrino and the regular visits to get baby in the proper position. Baby was delivered with under 20 minutes of pushing and I know it was because of my visits with him! He also addressed my hip pain with dry needling and it was nothing short of miraculous that the pain would subside for weeks at a time. Thank you Dr. Andrino!! My only regret is that we had to move to the West Coast and I can no longer come in to see him!!! Thank you Dr Andrino for your work and your passion for the craft!!! read more

Dr. A is a one of a kind! A real, straightforward, and down to earth doc! I was referred to him by a coworker that one day saw me suffering with back pain. I was skeptical about seeing a chiro because of some of the not so good stories I've heard. Well, let me tell you....Dr. A has been a Godsend to me! I called and left a message to schedule an appointment. Chrysa called me back immediately to schedule a consultation. OMG she was SO sweet and patient as she listened to me complain about my aches and pains! I was able to get an appointment on a Saturday about 2 weeks out. On my very first visit/consultation, I was SOLD! I felt 1,000,000,000,000% better! Dr. A asked about my areas of discomfort and addressed each of them, then iced my back and sent me on my way! I NEVER felt so good in my life! I've experienced this back pain for years on end. No doctor or Chiro has been able to get me to feel this good! I walk a little taller and am able to turn my neck without stiffness! I'm definitely on his schedule for the next few months to ensure that my back stays healthy with NO surgery or injections!!! Thank God for Dr. A! read more

Dr. A is the best. Started seeing him for pregnancy-related issues and still commute from DC for him (and the caring and on point office staff) 7 years later. read more

Just had my second VBAC with Dr Andrino in September and it went incredibly smoothly like the 1st VBAC i had after seeing him.. cannot recommend him enough.. just saw him today for a shoulder issue because of breastfeeding and it already feels better.. he and Dr Sardis take their time with you.. if you have had a c section and want to try for a VBAC this is the place to go!!!! read more

Dr. Andrino is amazing. I went to him for pelvic pregnancy pain and he quickly identified my issues. I wish he was my OBGYN because I learned more from him than the doctors I see at my OBGYN practice. He is smart, patient, and takes his time educating you on your issues. Plus he asks questions to get to know you in a sincere way. It doesn't seem forced or scripted. His wife is also awesome. I went to him after reading someone's review calling him the baby whisperer and I believe it! Definitely schedule an appointment. Even if you have to wait for an opening. Dr. Andrino is worth waiting for. read more

Dr Sardis! Is the best. I have been coming to her for 3 years. Pre pandemic and never stopped. The amount of pre injuries she prevented me from needing surgery and healed completely are many. And she is knowledgeable, friendly and truly the best. All of them are great, the atmosphere is awesome and they are truly dedicated to wellness and healing! You will heal and get better! And they are the best in the dc/md/va area to help you. Highly recommend read more

New and expecting moms, run, don't walk to Dr. Andrino! I started seeing doctor A. when I was 37 weeks pregnant. He helped adjust my back, helped me with the back pain, and was able to shift my hips so that the baby was no longer pressing against my bladder. He helped get the baby into "torpedo position." As a first-time mom, I was a little skeptical of going to a chiropractor, but after experiencing a huge I in my physical well-being I have no regrets. After my baby was born, we came for a mother-baby adjustment with dr. Ashley. My infant had a weak latch and Chiro group gave us exercises to address that. I look forward to going to the chiropractor being a family affair! read more

Seriously the best. I feel strongly my first birth went so well and timely because of his adjustments. He is like a pregnancy chiro Wizard. You should absolutely see him if you're expecting!! read more

Dr. Audrino is the best. He is the most knowledgeable, patient, and caring doctor I've met. He made my entire pregnancy and labor easy for me as he aligned my entire body and knew exactly what needed to be adjusted. He takes his time on you and doesn't rush like other doctors. Thanks to him, my labor went smooth. He has changed my outlook on pregnancy and will be going to him from now on!!!!!! read more

I've been a doula in the DMV for years and send pregnant people to Andrino by the carload. People love him, his adjustments and the staff! When I cranked my back I called him immediately. I knew he went above and beyond for pregnant people and he did the exact same for me! I was in so much pain I was debating an ER visit. The front desk returned my call immediately and they were able to squeeze me in (he came in on his day off!). I had chiropractic care when I lived in Philadelphia, have knowledge of the human body and was still able to learn from Andrino. He took time to tell me how to sleep, better ways to sit in the car, gave me ice packs and even a special belt to wear. In a world where doctors consults take 5 minutes I expected to be in and out in but he took about an hour with me. I feel so much better and am beyond impressed with the care I received! read more

Dr. Andrino is the most caring medical professional I've ever met ... and boy have I met a lot. He also happens to be unbelievably talented. I started seeing him for back issues during pregnancy, and to my surprise, he also helped position my baby to make natural childbirth easier. Since then, he's helped tremendously with a host of medical conditions that have popped up post-pregnancy and recommended the functional medicine doctor I'm now seeing. He's just incredible. Additionally, my son started seeing Dr. Ashley for frequent ear infections as soon as I heard about it. He was one infection away from needing tube surgery a year ago ... and he hasn't had antibiotics since. He was getting ear infections every 6-8 weeks, and in the past year has only had one - which Dr. Ashley was able to clear up. I'm THRILLED! My husband also comes in and it's helped him with back pain. This practice is AMAZING. read more

Dr Andrino is wonderful! I'm a doula and massage therapist specializing in fertility and prenatal massage... and i'm also expecting my 4th baby. I took a tumble a few days ago and was really hurting... I had heard from several people about Dr Andrino, and called last minute, he was so kind to squeeze me in and see me right away, even though I was a new client, and he spent more time with me than any other bodyworker I had ever been to. I feel SO much better, his approach is so holistic, he's very gentle, and has a great gift. I look forward to going back to see him, and I know he will make my labor and birth much easier. I highly recommend him and will be sending all of my clients to him! (note, he has now opened his own practice.... information below!) http://www.chirogroup.net/ ChiroGroup LLC 4910B 31st Street South Arlington VA 22206 703.933.8686 DrAndrino@ChiroGroup.net read more

Dr Andrino changed my birth. I should have had him for my first. My second, he recognized my hip was sprained when I came in 9 months pregnant with a walker. It was my first visit and he took pity on me and got me in immediately. He said the baby wouldn't come and I'd probably have had to had a C section because of my hip placement that day. The baby was dropped (I wager for several days to a week prior) and in position by the time I walked out of the doctor's office. I told him I had a home birth scheduled and he gave me his card to come to my house while in labor if I had any complications. My labor started about an hour after I left his office and it was a textbook labor and super easy delivery, no more than 5 "pushes" at home, virtually unattended. It doesn't get any better. I continued to see Andrino over the next few weeks to make sure my hip was in proper alignment while it healed. I was done with the walker after two weeks. He continued to care for my whole family like no chiropractor ever has. My husband and I both agree, he's the best chiropractor in the world, not just for pregnancy but for anything, sprained necks (my husband), sprained hips, children, etc. You will not be disappointed. This is absolutely the best chiro care and health care you can receive. read more

Warning: Dr. Andrino is not your run-of-the-mill chiropractor. He's actually one of the smartest, most enjoyable practitioners I've ever worked with. For prenatal care, I recommend seeing him beginning at 20 weeks. You'll have a more comfortable pregnancy, better likelihood of a natural birth (if that's what you're after) and amazing support going into motherhood. My successful VBAC had a lot to do with Dr. A. You can hear more about his approach in this podcast episode: http://findyourbalancehealth.com/2015/06/giving-the-power-of-childbirth-back-to-women-with-dr-andrino-flevotomos-food-rant-podcast-6/ read more

Dr. Andrino is so awesome. He is chiropractor that does nutritional response testing which is sort of rare, but amazing. He can figure out what is wrong with you even if lots and lots of regular doctors couldn't. To me he was described as a miracle worker and I can definitely see that in him. Also, he is just so nice and has a real calming effect by just being around him. I went in to him and found out that I had high metals and stressed adrenals. His supplements are very inexpensive and it wasn't long before I was feeling really good again. read more

Dr. Andrino is not only a highly skilled and experienced chiropractor, but is also very intuitive. I have been seeing him for a few years now - and he has resolved AND has been 100% accurate on diagnosis, cause, prognosis and treatment plan for every issue that has popped up. I have referred over 20 people to him at this point (I'm a yoga teacher, so I work with a lot of people who can use his help) and they have all agreed that he is the best there is. I cannot recommend him more. Also, he practices yoga asana (and, actually, all modalities of yoga as well, including meditation and pranayama), so if you're a yogi - he's absolutely the guy for you. Go see him and get healed! He's the BEST. read more

Dr. Andrino is one of a kind ... in the best way possible. He really listens and pays attention to everything you say. He asks pointed questions to figure out what's going on with you. He remembers what you've told him in the past. He relies on a variety of techniques and always aims to heal the body, rather than do a quick fix in one spot. I have seen improvement in multiple areas of my body and my life since I started seeing him regularly. I look forward to each appointment knowing that I'll feel better when I leave than I did when I arrived for my session. In addition, he is incredibly skilled when it comes to treating vertigo. I was flattened by it yesterday, miserably dizzy and nauseous. He & Chrysa squeezed me in as an emergency appointment yesterday afternoon and WOW. I don't even know how else to describe it. I left feeling at least 60% better and am probably about 90% better today. I have had vertigo before and have never found any treatment that worked this fast. If you ever get vertigo, run to his office!! read more

Seeing Dr. Andrino while pregnant is a must!!! If it wasn't for him, I probably would have had more complicated deliveries. He made sure everything was in alignment and was a wealth of knowledge about my body and health during pregnancy. He's very busy so make sure you call early in your pregnancy and schedule for the entire 9 months in advance. read more

I went to Dr. Andrino for long-term vertigo issues that I haven't been able to resolve through other means, and he was amazing. I literally would give this guy 10 stars if I could. I've been to other chiropractors before, and most of them spend 20 seconds on me and say "Done! See you next week!" Dr. Andrino spent at least 30 mins and conducted chiropractic adjustments I never even knew existed. I felt at least 30% less vertigo after the *first* visit, and this is after nearly 20 years of chronic spinning. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with migraine issues, vertigo, anxiety, chronic pain, etc. I literally told my husband "Dr. Andrino might be the only person I need in my life" lol, and I was only partially joking! read more

My midwife suggested I visit a chiropractor to help with baby positioning and a friend referred me to Dr. Andrino. I've never been to a chiropractor pregnant or otherwise, but my first visit went very well. He's very nice and the whole process was non-invasive. He had me do some movmement and he applied pressure to certain points. Towards the end, he and I could both see the baby move positions. My husband and I will be returning so Dr. Andrino can teach my husband perinatal contact, which will help speed up labor. Recommended! read more

Dr. Andrino was a godsend during my pregnancy. I had horrible back pain and not only was he able to help me when others could not, but he was also extremely positive and made me feel like he really understood what was going on and how to solve the issue. He is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. I cannot say enough positive things about his skill as a chiropractor, as well as his attitude and personability. read more

Love Dr. Andrino. He just gets it and I have never felt better after my adjustments. Even when I lived in NYC I would have him work on me. Hubby goes too! Thanks Andrino for always making us feel better! read more

When it comes to pregnancy chiropractic medicine, Dr. Andrino is incredible. He is intuitive, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable about your baby, positioning, and alignment for easy delivery. After weeks of stress about baby's position, my delivery and sciatica issues, I finally went to see a chiropractor recommended by my doula, and I left Dr. Andrino's office feeling relaxed and confident about my birth for the first time in months. read more

I saw Dr. Andrino for a pre-natal protocol during my first pregnancy and had a very easy, fast labor/delivery. I'm convinced his hands-on work in the office and "homework" he prescribed (stretches/exercises) were the key. I continued to see him routinely as I recovered from the first pregnancy and now I'm starting another prenatal protocol for my second child. My husband has also begun regular visits and finally understands why I am always raving about Dr. A. read more

I should have written this review sooner. I'm a massage therapist from CA and I looked high and low for a good chiro after moving to the DC area. I was pretty disappointed by all of the other ones i9n the area that I saw before Andrino. I've been seeing Andrino for a year now. I went in because of hip pain after my due date for my second son when I feared something with my hips was keeping the baby from dropping. Sure enough! My hip had been sprained and was rotated blocking the birth canal. After one adjustment, he sent me home and labor started about four hours or so later. It was a very quick and easy homebirth thanks to proper alignment. I saw him a few times after so that my hip healed properly. I was back to normal in about 4 and a half weeks. While this sounds unusual that a chiropractor makes for an easy birth, I can't tell you how many people who see Andrino, including referring birth workers, have very similar stories. A trip to Andrino has sent lots of women into perfect, natural, easy labor. If you are pregnant, don't hesitate to book your appointment with him. You will be glad you read this. If you're not pregnant, our whole family now sees Andrino and wouldn't trust anyone else. read more

I returned from service in the military and I was just drained. I had always had a high metabolism, but now I was eating every 2 hours on the dot. If I didn't eat a high protein snack, my palms would get sweaty, I would become clumsy, and have trouble talking. I felt like I was about to pass out. Blood work was done and everything was normal, which was frustrating because I certainly didn't feel normal - quite the opposite. My sleep was terrible and I fluctuated between having lots of energy or having none. Dr. Andrino was recommended to me and I was immediately impressed with his no-nonsense, but genuinely concerned approach. He diagnosed me with severe adrenal fatigue and immediately got me on the road to recovery. After 20 months of a rigorous natural supplement regime, diet modification, moderate exercise, rest and relaxation, I felt myself finally feeling rested even if I did't get a sound 8 hours of sleep. 2 months later I didn't feel that low blood sugar feeling I described above. I still eat a few healthy snacks in between meals, but I don't feel like I'm going to crash. Dr. Andrino certainly made a positive difference in my life by restoring my adrenal balance and I know he will do the same for you if you suffer from adrenal burnout. It takes time to recover, but I cannot think of a better person to guide you in your recovery than Dr. Andrino. read more
