I have been seeing alternative care providers for almost 50 years. After moving to the Charlottesville area, I had been looking for an opportunity to continue this with someone in the area. I paid Dr. Abbott's $850 new patient fee with the presumption that I would finally be able to resume my regular, semi-annual consultations with an alternative care practitioner. After being his patient for less than 6 months, I had a dispute with the patient care coordinator in a chat message exchange. Dr. Abbott entered the conversation and said I could no longer be his patient. I told Dr. Abbott there was a misunderstanding, as can happen in such text exchanges. I asked that we try to resolve our differences because I wanted to remain his patient. Dr. Abbott ignored this request. Without future semi-annual visits with Dr. Abbott, being his patient for less than 6 months had negligible value to me. Because of this, I asked for a full (or partial) refund. This request was ignored. I went to great lengths to explain why I felt I should get a refund and that I might make a complaint to the BBB. Then Dr. Abbott accused me of extortion and threatened legal action if I continued.

    Ultimately, I was very disappointed with my experience with Butchart. On my first visit that was…read moresupposed to be 90 minutes but lasted less than 60 minutes, he diagnosed me with a genetic heart defect after asking me if I had a family member die of a heart attack. I was told to take Folate for this genetic heart defect. While this was a red-flag for me, I was still hopeful. He also prescribed me supplements for my condition prior to lab testing because he knew the problem and told me that I would be feeling better in less than two weeks. In fact, he told me that I would be feeling so good that I could stop taking my prescribed medicine (another red-flag). Please note that only the lab tests are covered by insurance (but see below) and the company that does the lab testing also provides the supplements that cannot be found elsewhere. After six months, and not feeling better (and actually getting worse due to one of his special formula mixes that he insisted I continue taking because, as he indicated, sometimes you get worse before you get better) he indicated I should have the lab tests done again. Well, the insurance company rejected being told to pay for the lab tests again and Butchart said he would work out a special deal with me and I could pay him $300 (or so) directly -- hmm (if I recall correctly, the company that does the lab testing charges the insurance company ~$2000 for the lab testing). Well, I told him I was not interested in investing another $300 in lab testing from the same company who provides the supplements that were supposed to make me feel better right away. When I told him this, he stopped communicating with me. Overall, I feel Butchart does a nice job of communicating with his patients by e-mail (notice that he directly e-mails the patient). But he also acts as if he knows everything while speaking badly of all other doctors as ignorant of how things really work in the mind and body. When things do not improve, as in my case, he is simply done and is not interested in trying to figure out another solution that works for both the patient and himself. Ultimately, I left poorer and no better off than when I first entered his practice.

    I love Ted Butchart! He's been a world of medical wisdom while helping to heal your body.

    Dr. Huffman is who good chiropractors should strive to be like. I started visiting him after I was…read morerecommended by a friend, and my back is very thankful! After seeing probably a half dozen different chirps in the last 5 years, Dr. Huffman is my favorite. He won't try to sell you on a "3 appts a week" plan like some of those other guys, but instead he'll diagnose the problem, provide excellent in-office adjustments, and give you at-home therapy recommendations to help in between sessions. After about 7 sessions over 2 months, he told me that I could just come in as-needed, because he'd already noticed a lot of improvement. I used to sit at a desk all day, and my lower back has been giving me problems for years. I recently moved to San Diego, and I work from home, so now I sit on a fitness orb to help build my core and back muscles. I still do the daily stretches that he recommended, and have even reached out to him to send me recommendation letters and general tips. He's simply a great guy who genuinely cares more about helping people enjoy life in comfort, than making a quick buck. I just hope that whoever I find out here in San Diego will be able to hold a candle to the service I received from Dr. Huffman.

    This was my first chiropractic experience and it was extremely positive. I went in for stiffness…read moreand tension in my neck and shoulder, and one week following treatment felt 100% better. Dr. Huffman performed an assessment and then provided treatment, putting me at ease by explaining everything he was going to do and answering all of my questions throughout the visit. After the treatment, he told me when I could expect the pain to resolve and things I could do at home to prevent the condition from recurring. I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking effective treatment from a compassionate caregiver.
