I am beyond disappointed and honestly appalled by my recent experience with Dr. Crusade and her practice. For several years, I was a loyal patient who trusted Dr. Crusade with my care. I appreciated the treatment I received and, because of that trust, referred numerous friends, family members, and colleagues to her practice without hesitation. I believed in the quality of care enough to confidently recommend the practice to others. After recently being involved in a car accident, I reached out to return as a patient seeking chiropractic care. Instead of being welcomed back, I was told that I could not be treated unless I first retained an attorney. I found that response shocking, deeply inappropriate, and completely contrary to what healthcare should represent. I was not calling for legal advice--I was calling a doctor for medical care. Whether I choose to retain an attorney is a personal legal decision and should have absolutely nothing to do with whether I can receive treatment. A physician's first priority should be caring for patients, not determining whether they have legal representation. To tell a returning patient that they cannot receive treatment unless they hire an attorney is, in my opinion, an unacceptable barrier to care. As someone who spent years trusting this practice and actively referring others, I never imagined I would be denied the opportunity to receive treatment because I chose not to involve an attorney. This experience has completely destroyed the trust and respect I once had for Dr. Crusade and her practice. I feel abandoned, deeply disappointed, and profoundly let down. The patient-first philosophy I believed this practice stood for was nowhere to be found when I needed care the most. I will never again trust or support Dr. Crusade or her practice, and I will never refer another patient. Years of loyalty and countless referrals ended with a single phone call that made it clear my access to care was conditioned on a legal decision rather than a medical need. Patients deserve to know this policy before choosing this practice. If you are injured in an accident and simply want chiropractic care without retaining an attorney, you may want to ask whether you will even be accepted as a patient. I sincerely hope Dr. Crusade reflects on the message this sends to loyal patients. For me, this experience erased years of goodwill and left me with a level of disappointment I never expected from a healthcare professional. read more

Desiree, I know you very well. Yeah, you fight with everyone. It wasn't just me. It was the person who referred me to you. You got in a fight with over money. The person I referred there to you got in a fight with money. You're rude, very rude and many grubbing, and your front staff is pretty atrocious. read more

Love, love, love Dr Crusade! I had horrible migraines for years. Within a month of her amazing treatment they stopped and never returned. I've left the state but I'll never forget her. She's the absolute best upper cervical chiropractor in California read more

I have been going to Crusade Specific Chiropractor for 15 years. Dr. Cs, gentle upper cervical adjustment, has continued to help me be active and pain free. Highly recommend read more

I have been receiving cervical spinal adjustment at this location from Dr. Crusade for a couple of years due to severe misalignment and subluxation. The treatment has helped me tremendously so far. Recently they added the Egoscue Method. Irene is the Egoscue Therapist. She takes photos that show how you are aligned and then goes over exercises to work on. Doing the prescribed therapy has helped me hold my adjustments. I also went to Fleet Feet for new shoes and my weight distribution and alignment as I walk has improved! They have a very caring and supportive team. read more

Don't waste your time here! They don't care about helping the people at all and it was VERY obvious by how they treated me. I tried to come here about 3 or 4 years ago because I have 4 building discs in my neck and this is one of the few places in town that seemed as if they would be able to provide the treatment I needed. So my wife and I came here hoping for relief from all the pain I am in along with the many side effects I endure. Upon entering the office they had a very weird vibe going on inside. As if it was like a cult or something. They were acting strange, however, as we sat down with the lady (Office Manager) that was doing the intake questions with us, one of the questions she asked was if I had ever been in a car accident. I said; no, "well, yeah many many years ago, like over 20 years but it seriously was just a bump and no report was ever made so this seriously has no relation to my neck injury! Plus my neck injury has been an issue well before this accident." You would have thought I yelled "BOMB", the intake stopped, she wanted ALL the details, the date, the time, what injuries did I experience, the police report, what insurance company did I have... I was like: "I am not aware of all the details and there is nothing to say at all. It was a bump, we didn't exchange contact information and it was over 20 years ago, no injuries, nada..." She stated then we can not continue treating you here today. We went round and round because I was literally somewhat in tears from all the pain I have been in and was so happy that I possibly was going to start the process to heal with this visit. BUT, to my surprise, the office manager STOPPED the intake process and said if I can locate the information about the accident, then they could proceed. I was blown away that they were all about the insurance money (which there never was any money) but rather treat me as a patient who needed care, I was just a dollar sign to them. Very sad, that a company could actually do good for a patient rather than look at me as how much money can they get. I'd hope and like to think that this lady (Office Manager) does not work here anymore and this has no reflection on the Doctor herself at all but we will see if I ever even hear from them... I've made sure all my friends and family know to never go here at this point! read more

Thank you Crusade Chiropractic! I have spent the last 10+ years since I was 15 in chronic pain from a car accident and broken back. I have had many other mental and physical health issues come up, and starting chiro care here has been one of the most life changing experiences God has provided me. Dr. C is helping my body heal, and the team of people that work there are helpful in providing 10/10 quality care in a variety of ways. I numbed out and believed that the rest of my life would be a life of pain, but I now have the hope and support to help my body learn a new way of life. It's not an overnight journey, and always learning how to slowly but surely let God heal me! But I am thankful and recommend Dr. C's care to those seeking help and understanding. Her team is amazing and beyond helpful and on top of all the help it takes to make the office run with quality care. Thanks everyone!!!!! read more

One of the best experiences is coming here. Dr. Crusade. She is wonderful but I have to say she has the best staff as well. She is always informative and has such a positive attitude. I came here as a skeptic and well she made a believer out of me. I don't have any carpal tunnel in my left hand or wrist, also discovered going through this treatment, I am not suffering from allergies and I can breathe better with no congestion. All around feel better and feel taller if that makes sense :) ... better posture. Give her office a call and ask if they have any special offers going on. No pain and can concentrate on work now. read more

Very strange experience to say the least. It seems that the Dr may be good, but the experience was just very weird and off-putting. I went for X-rays and a consult - had to return the next day for the "consult". In every interaction I felt like I was in the back room of an auto dealer with them trying to make me buy a car. They repeatedly asked about 1 - had I EVER been in any car accidents? (Like we could get money/free service or??) 2 - would I bring a support person with me when I returned the next day (this really felt like they wanted to "sell" to more than just me.) 3 - did I read the brochures and understand what the terminology and processes were? They also had me sign very ominous disclosures and an arbitration agreement. In the end, they said that the doctor "agreed to provide services" to me since she could help me, BUT ONLY if I agreed to the "6 month program" for about $4,500 - IF I PAID UP FRONT. This is when I told them how I felt about the BS high pressure sales job and condescending tone of the whole experience. Sheesh! I'm in pain and putting up with this junk? No way!! I immediately left and so regretted wasting my time and money ($150) on this "consult"! Find another place to try!!!! read more

Dr. Crusade saved my quality of life. In January I was in so much pain that I would not get out of bed some days, I was walking with a limp, and it hurt to sit, stand, or walk. I started receiving care by Dr. Crusade about a month ago and my body has gone through a tremendous transformation. The pain is gone in my neck and lower back. I am able to return to all of the physical activities I love like gardening and exercise. I highly recommend Dr. Crusade because she is competent, compassionate, and highly effective. Her staff are wonderful and caring and the office is beautiful too. read more

Crusade Specific Chiropractic has been invaluable in helping me overcome chronic and acute neck and lower back pain. Thank you , thankyou read more

I moved out of Sacramento already, but Dr. Crusade used to be my chiropractor. I went to see her because of my injured tailbone quite some time ago. Dr. Crusade is very caring, cheerful and warm-hearted. It's always a joy to be around her. She also explains well what the problems and concerns are. The office was decorated nicely which makes patients feel like home instead of a clinic. Now my tailbone is fine. It stopped hurting about a year after I started seeing her, but I still went there about once a month to maintain my alignment. I am no longer her patient anymore after I moved out of Sacramento. Dr. Crusade, I hope you are well and I miss you! read more

Today was my first visit at Crusade Specific Chiropractic for sciatica. The office is beautiful and modern and the people are even more beautiful. Very warm and friendly environment. Dr. Crusade and her staff are very caring and thorough, explaining and educating me on the Palmer method of Chiropractic care and the nerves coming out of various vertebrae and the parts of the body impacted. Looking forward to my next visit and the diagnoses and treatment plan. read more

Best chiropractor ever!!! Love Dr. Crusade! She's so happy and full of joy. She can literally make your health take a whole turn.. For the better. She genuinely wants the absolute best for every one of her patients. I feel so much better when I come to her. I have taken breaks where I don't come regularly and it makes a difference... i end up getting sick more often and overall just feeling not as great. I have scoliosis and she helps with improving that. I also got into a car accident when I was younger so my hips are uneven; although her main job is to make sure your spine is in alignment, she also takes the time to make sure my hips are aligned. It is a bit costly but definitely worth it! Elderly persons get a discounted rate. You will not be disappointed coming here!! read more
