I have been seeing Dr. Mike for nearly 3 years. Dr, Mike has a warm engaging personality. He is…read morehappy to see you when you come in, he remembers what is going on in your life and talks to you with heart when he sees you. His adjustments are spot-on, and best of all he does not try to sell you any supplements or extra services. His staff is excellent, they even respond to text messages after hours when I have questions. I'm not sure I can recommend this place highly enough. They have taken away a great deal of my pain CONSISTENTLY over the past few years.
I don't usually write many reviews. And I tend to write mostly positive reviews, for folks who are doing a superior job because I feel that people who write terribly negative reviews are doing it in order to bring the person down out of anger, spite, or competition. I suspect that some of the negative reviews here about his practice are targeting Dr. Mike for other reasons. Perhaps it is competitor, or a or disgruntled past employee who wrote them...? I have seen five different chiropractors in the last 20 years in the Ann Arbor-Saline-Ypsilanti area, three different osteopaths, and several different Physical Theripists. I had an injury that required different therapy at different times and I also have rheumatoid arthritis. Of all of the people that I have gone to see, Dr. Mike ranks in the top two. Some of these therapists and doctors were excellent and some were terrible. A couple were mediocre. I would name their names because it's not an ethical thing to do. I am a kindergarten teacher and I live and work in Ann Arbor, MI. I practice what I teach about honesty and kindness.
Here is what I can tell you...
Dr. Mike has a lovely, clean office, with a terrific atmosphere. The bathrooms are clean, he has complementary coffee, tea, and water in the waiting area, and (I'm not sure I can say this last part enough) HE IS AN EXCELLENT CHIROPRACTOR. Dr. Meath can do traditional manipulations, and he can also do manipulations with that tiny metal gun shaped device which some folks prefer. He can take X-rays, but does not require it.
Also, I think it is important to note that I don't go to see Dr. Mike because of the atmosphere, or the free drinks, or because of how clean the bathroom is. I go to see him because he is ethical, kind, and he is not a shyster who sells a bunch of extra potions, lotions, x-rays, tonics, or other services. He is straight up, honest, he listens to what you say, and he tells you about all the things he can do to help, always listening to what your preference is. He has never over-billed me for ANYTHING and I have excellent coverage. I love that after my first visit, I have never waited more than 15 minutes for an appointment. Once as a walk-in, I waited at most 18 minutes. He does not ever mind adding a walk-in client to his schedule!
Today, while I was thinking to make an appointment to go in, I decided to leave Dr. Meath a review because it occurred to me what excellent care I have received there over the years before seeing him. I was shocked to see anyone negative review here! Prior to finding Rr. Mike's office, I floated around from place to place looking for a person who wasn't trying to sell me something other than an adjustment. That is sometimes hard to find in the world of adjustments and chiropractic care. If you are searching, like I was, this is the place to go; your search will be over. Also, if you're just looking for very good care given by an extremely kind and thoughtful human being, this is your place.
Thoughtfully,

PS-Dr. Mike does not offer any reward, incentive, gift card, nor percent off for a positive review. He never even asked for a review!
