How does one find a good chiropractor? Usually a referral from someone you trust. My wife was…read morereferred by a coworker, she referred me and now I've started to refer others. A good chiropractor is hard to find. It's clear to me that Mark really knows what he's doing. He helped me work through a long term issue I was dealing with and my back feels great. I have a background as a cmt so I'm aware of my body mechanics, my posture and how everything is interrelated. During our first appointment he was able to diagnose my lower back issues and start treatment. I was in a ton of pain and my muscles were really tight, he was very cautious about how he proceeded. It took about 3 appointments before I was back to better than I had been in years. I'm really glad I was able to get the original recommendation. I would absolutely refer my friends and family to him.

I trust him to adjust my back, neck, and body - and am convinced that he had allowed me to move better and for longer than I would have otherwise been able on my own.

She has kept me moving at times when I thought I might have to give up my independence and go to a nursing home. I recommend her to all of my friends. She is also a professional disability evaluator who helped me with my SS disability application. I first saw her in May of 2012. I had been suffering with pain in my pelvis and right hip that locked me up every day as I would bend over. The next day, I felt 20 years younger. It did not hurt to bend any more. My joints, body wide, were more limber and mostly pain-free. The locked hip area needed more work but within a month I was almost back to normal. Within a few months, however, the arthritis began to keep me at home two days for every day I went out. I saw Dr. Marlow as often as I was able to afford it. In December of 2013 I was in moderate-to-severe pain 24/7 throughout my body. I was also in panic mode, as you can imagine. Dr. Marlow's treatments knocked down the pain enough that I could isolate the most painful areas and realized that the same hip was the epicenter of the pain. I went to the ER where they gave me a prescription and an appointment with an orthopedist two months out. Dr. Marlow has ACTUALLY helped me to minimize my pain and achieve mobility, whereas I have only vague promises and pills from the medical doctors.

She was able to see me after I got off work on a short notice which I really appreciated. I came in the office at around 5:30 p.m. and was greeted by the lovely ladies at the front desk. They were very friendly and helpful. I filled out some paperwork prior to the visit because the Dr. said it would save us a lot of time. The office is very clean, organized, and bright. The atmosphere was very welcoming and comfy. The Dr. was working on a patient when I got there so one of the assistants showed me a couple of dvds educating me on chiropractic care, once the videos were done, the dr. came in the room very cheerfully and examined me. She knew exactly what she was talking about and every question I had was answered. She recommended services that would improve my body. She also gave me written instructions and samples of supplements that would help me feel better. We decided on a treatment plan and look forward to returning. I usually hate going to doctors but she makes me feel very comfortable and at ease.

Luck would have it that one of his students, Dr. Ma has been practicing with Dr. Ruch for years. Altho I was still being treated by Dr. Ruch, Dr. Ma ALWAYS took a keen interest into my anomalous injuries and litany of imbalances. Recently, I decided it was past time to let her at my challenging condition and assist me in recovering from my latest, Nov 2016 'trophies' from a bicycle dooring accident that had me partake in my first ambulance ride. On top of spending focused time adjusting, she has a keen ear and discriminating eye. Thanks to Dr. Ma I float and toe-off better than I have in a very long time.

Short Story: I was scammed and taken advantage of by this unethical Chiropractor's office. I was…read moreunfairly charged for a consultation visit after they misrepresented their services. I called to discuss the matter in an attempt to find a fair resolution, but was treated horribly by the office staff. I couldn't recommend this business to anyone. Back Story: My MD recommended massage therapy for my migraines, which have increased due to surgery I had to remove a brain tumor. My insurance covers this expense as long as it is done through a Chiropractor's office. When I spoke to the office staff to schedule an appt. with their massage therapist, I was very clear that I was looking for massage therapy and not chiropractic therapy. I also confirmed with the office that they would bill my insurance for this covered expense. They confirmed they would bill my insurance for the massage therapist, but first I need to set up a consultation appt with Dr. Ivan. I asked why I had to see the Chiropractor if I was only looking for massage therapy and was told it was a mandatory consultation before they can schedule an appt with their massage therapist. When I reiterated to Dr. Ivan at the start of the consultation that I was not interested in chiropractic care, but massage therapy, he tried to convince me to use him as my chiropractor. At the end of the visit he said he would have the office call me back to set up the massage therapy appts I needed. When he called me back a few days later he referred me out to another chiropractor's office for massage therapy because his office didn't have any experience billing insurance for their massage therapist. What??!! His exact words were "I'm sorry, I kind of feel like I wasted your time." I couldn't agree more... not to mention the office he referred me to couldn't help me either (but at least they were straightforward about not wanting to deal with billing my insurance for their massage therapist). When I called Dr. Ivan's office back to explain that I felt it was wrong for them to charge for a consultation I didn't want or need, the woman in the office was extremely rude, so I hung up. Then she called me back lecturing me on how immature it was for me to hang up and then HUNG UP ON ME. I had to LOL - literally - at the irony. I am allowed twelve visits for chiro/massage therapy and now they are billing my insurance for wasting my time -- using up my precious insurance benefits that are actually needed for what I originally contacted them for - massage therapy. What a bummer. Thankfully, I have found a wonderful Chiropractic office that has met my needs.
