I've been seeing Dr. Defrese for chiropractic maintenance for over three years, ever since I moved to California. I've been going to chiropractors regularly for over 20 years, and Dr. Defrese is one of the best - trust me, I've seen a lot of charlatan chiropractors, and Jesse is legit, his adjustments hold up for weeks with no day-after pain. He's also got a masseuse on staff, and the one-two combination is excellent for sufferers of chronic pain.
Pros: Excellent skills and friendly demeanor, doesn't keep you waiting, flexible scheduling, flexible billing for un/under-insured patients.
Cons: May try to pitch questionable theories of nutrition at you.
As for the negative review from 2010, I would like to comment briefly. Chiropractic care is not necessarily a substitute for an MD and an MRI. If you KNOW what you have is a chiropractic injury, Jesse can fix it. But if your condition doesn't improve, or worsens, go see a doctor and get an MRI because something non-chiropractic might be going on, and you may need surgery or cortisone shots. As for billing, his practices as I understand them are totally in-line with every single other Chiropractor I've ever been to (about 10 over 20+ years). read more
