I was referred by my massage therapist, Amanda at Mindy's Wellness, so I finally decided to make my first appointment.
This establishment is located off of US 1 and Hilden Rd in Ponte Vedra, FL.
My call was answered by the very pleasant and professional Dasha. She answered all my questions and advised me that the first fee with / without insurance was $97. No problem, that's why I have an FSA account.
I arrived early to fill out new client paperwork and was greeted by the very friendly, Dr. Adam. I was asked if I would like any refreshments.
The environment is so relaxing, fun music is playing overhead and everyone was so friendly.
When I completed my paperwork, I was greeted by the lovely Dr. Cruz. Together with Dasha, we proceeded into the treatment area where I was given a very detailed orientation to each of the treatment areas which included;
* Wall of information - contains packets of particular conditions and how it affects your body.
* Therapy room - Resistance bands and therapeutic balls on a chair to help stretch and loosen those problem areas before you get adjusted.
* Ultrasound - They offer 3D / 4D images to expectant moms.
* Massage tables that have a roller with adjustable pressure that moves up and down your spine. It was so relaxing, post adjustment.
Dr. Cruz then had me come into a room with all the neat gadgets!
My entire spine was scanned with two different devices. This allowed them to see where the problem areas are in my body and how stress affects me.
This along with the x-rays helps them determine the best course of treatment for each of their patients. Very impressed.
I was also impressed to find out that I have scoliosis. What?! I had been to two different chiropractors with x-rays and never told that information. This is probably why I continue to have problems with my back. I just assumed that 15 yrs in EMS and working in the medical field was the issue. I'm sure it didn't help.
I was also instructed that there are different ways to adjust somebody who has that condition.
My adjustment was performed by Dr. Adam and I felt so much better after the treatment.
I'm was really impressed (I know, I use that word a lot) with the professionalism and the fact that they explain everything that they're doing and why.
I'm a big advocate when it comes to educating your patients. It makes them feel more at ease with the care they are receiving. TWO THUMBS UP!
I would also like to note that while I was waiting for my consultation, I was listening to the conversation next door between Dr. Adam and his patient. It was a very laid back interaction, but you could tell by the content that he was fully engaged.
Dr. Adam and Dr. Cruz are professional in their approach and are open to any and all questions that you may have. Most importantly, they are fully invested in their patients care.
What a great first impression and I look forward to my next visit! read more
