I first met Dr. Stack at Naturally Chiropractic several years ago and followed him to his new…read morelocation in Snyder. He is my third chiropractor in WNY after living here for 12 years.
The most important quality that Dr. Stack has is his true care for patients. In previous offices, practitioners performed the same adjustments at every visit, which is what initially drove me to look for a new doctor. After several visits with a well known treatment center, I still felt horrible and was being charged hundreds of dollars for a 20-minute, repetitive, robotic adjustment.
Dr. Stack, instead, assesses the needs of every patient to determine the right adjustments; each visit is based on what you've identified as a concern and what he finds during his assessments. Sometimes treatments can last 15 minutes or even up to 25 - but time is not the driver of his care as one usually experiences with doctors who take insurance. How you feel and how your body responds to the adjustments is what determines the time he takes with you and the frequency of your visits.
He is also very good at listening to your concerns, answering questions, and making sure you understand what he's doing and why.
Besides his deep knowledge of chiropractic care, he is also well-versed regarding overall health and can advise patients on vitamins, supplements and other more natural alternatives for just about any ailment. And if he doesn't know, he'll do the research. He is open and honest about healthcare in general, but also respects that patients have choices in their own care.
Many times I've been recommended a procedure, test or pharmaceutical from one doctor and have spoken to him as a gut check. For example, I had to take a strong antibiotic for a kidney infection a few years ago, and he recommended pairing a specific probiotic so as not to upset my gastrointestinal balance. It worked and I'm still taking it!
As recently as a week ago, I suffered a severe, 2-day, intensely painful migraine. After receiving an IV injection, I phoned him to see if he could squeeze me in. I barely finished my sentence before he nicely said, "Get here as soon as you can and we'll figure it out." I walked in without an appointment, was taken to one of the treatment rooms, given a pillow and ice pack and just waited for him to finish with his other patient.
I've worked with a fair amount of doctors since living in WNY and Dr. Stack by far delivers some of the best and most sincere care in comparison to other doctors. He works hard to continue learning and expanding his knowledge in the field, is open to sharing his treatment plans, how to talk with your other specialists about integrated approaches to treatment, and overall making sure you are living well.
The name speaks for itself - make an appointment and start your journey with a doctor devoted to helping you feel better!
