First timer? Nervous about visiting a chiropractor? Ever wonder if this works?…read more
Years ago, I attended an event with the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce where a chiropractor spoke and shared stories about how life changes with chiropractic care before and after addressing misaligned bone structures. It was fascinating to learn about this practice, observe the outcomes patients experienced, and challenge the preconceived notions I had grown up with. However, I was still hesitant to try it myself, until last year, when I visited another office and discovered that my mobility wasn't great. While my initial experience began positively, it turned sour, and I ultimately stopped going.
This year, I had the chance to meet Katie Gillum and Dr. Austin Blanchon at the Employment Law event hosted by the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce. This reignited my interest in chiropractic care. During the event, Dr. Austin was pre-screening participants, though I didn't participate at that point. Instead, I spoke with him later, where he shared insightful advice. Katie was a great listener, providing resources and addressing my hesitations in an encouraging in a non-pushy manner. By the end of the event, we spoke again, and I finally decided, "Okay, I'll schedule an appointment." Katie mentioned that Turning Point had multiple office locations, convenient for both my work-from-home days and my office-based workdays. Open seven days a week, the practice allowed me to choose appointment times that best suited my busy schedule. Additionally, I could select any chiropractor I preferred.
Since Dr. Austin had been so professional and insightful, I chose his office in Kaimuki, a location convenient for my in-office days. During my first visit, he was calming and helpful, and x-rays were taken to develop a personalized care plan based on my specific needs. The process was seamless, with the helpful staff verifying and double-checking my insurance coverage early in the process. Now that my initial treatment plan has been completed, I appreciate having the flexibility to use my remaining visits as needed for ongoing treatments or adjustments. I already feel welcome to return whenever necessary.
I referred my daughter, though she remains a bit nervous for now. I've also recommended Turning Point to others, hoping they take advantage of the ease of booking appointments and the gentle, professional approach that everyone in this practice provides.
Aloha and Mahalo to the team here!
