Beware if you're not looking to make a long term commitment.
I was just looking for a place to get a quick adjustment for the day. Should have trusted my intuition telling me this wasn't the right place, but went ahead and scheduled an appointment anyhow. Upon arrival they made sure I crossed all my t's and dotted my i's before anyone spoke with me. This was the first time I asked, "What kind of commitment are y'all looking for?" and I was told a specialist would better be able to assess what plan best fit my blah blah f*ck I shoulda known then. They also got my insurance card to verify if they are in network. Too bad they didn't bother to tell me they are not, until after the sales pitch that was to come.
After waiting for them to store my personal information in their "encrypted database" the same nice lady who collected my info showed me around the place. It is a fairly well maintained and updated facility. Kudos on that. Their claims that chiropractic care has cured everything from asthma to impotency had me rolling my eyes in my head a bit. And they sure are proud of the work they do on babies. But what do I know, I'm no chiropractor. The nice lady would bring me to a room akin to an elementary school nurses room. It was here she would leave me to await the sales pitch that was to come.
After waiting for a minute on a bench in this walk in closet with posters on the wall, the specialist came through. I'm not sure if she was a chiropractic specialist, maybe their sales specialist? In any case... she proceeded to go through my history of aches and pains with me. An extensive history for a first timer who'd never done this and was looking to test the waters. After pouring my heart out to the pour gal, she proceeded into the sales pitch. A pretty well rehearsed 15 minute speech on the miracle medical practice. Again the claims that chiropractic adjustments could cure nearly any ailment had me a bit speechless. I was ready to get my first adjustment on this day. I was not however, ready to join the cult of chiropractic care.
After asking for what must have been the third or fourth time what kind of commitment this place was looking for, and after being told that AFTER I put on this gown and get my intake evaluation done and blah blah blah I said enough. I apologized for wasting the nice ladies time, while in my head I thanked her for wasting mine. I made clear I didn't intend on needing their service and politely asked if there was any reason they would need to keep the paperwork she was holding, with all of my personal information on it. She assured me I could have my paperwork back, after she made copies, and after she uploaded the info into their "encrypted" database. A process of action I think she failed to understand undermined the entire point of me asking for my f*cking paperwork back. I wasn't gonna fight with the lady over some info I'm sure cost pennies on the dark web these days anyhow. So I thanked her kindly again before I departed.
Nice folks, with a passion for chiropractic care akin to a Scientologists dedication to the fundamental of Dianetics. Just not my cup of tea. If you don't feel like needlessly spreading your personal info in an attempt to get an adjustment in a day, don't come here.
You've been forewarned.
