I was right about to start IVF when I learned about the benefits of doing acupuncture concurrently…read more Even though I reached out to Dr. Scarlett less than 3 weeks from when I was starting stims and also about to leave for vacation she went above and beyond to schedule a phone and in person consultation with me to discuss my needs and come up with a personalized treatment plan that worked around my busy IVF and busy work schedule. I had never done acupuncture before this and am not a big fan of needles, but Dr. Scarlett was extremely supportive and taught me a breathing exercise tip that helped me feel less anxious, that also ended up helping me while I was doing my stims at home. For the most part you barely feel the needles go in and she helped prepare me and was extra gentle for any that she thought I might feel more. The experience while the needles are in is extremely relaxing and meditative. Since IVF schedules are already overwhelming I wasn't sure if adding acupuncture appointments to the mix was going to make it more so, but it was the complete opposite. Overall, I felt that my acupuncture appointments gave me time I needed to be present and feel more grounded with my body and mind during a time when I was asking so much of it, and also gave me a positive association with needles. I responded well to the IVF stims with my only side effects being bloating (to be expected), the results of my retrieval being favorable, and my recovery being smooth. I truly believe that my IVF experience went as smoothly as it did thanks to the personalized treatment plan, tips, and encouragement Dr. Scarlett provided. I will definitely be back to Red Lotus/to work with Dr. Scarlett for all my future acupuncture wellness needs, cannot recommend her enough!

Her office is a complete vibe -- warm, calming, and a true sanctuary where you feel safe and taken care of the moment you walk in.

I should of posted this review when I went to Carlsbad Chiropractic center as I visited there on…read moreAugust 6th , the chiropractor Jennifer Stevens was not in as she does not work Tuesdays that should have been a sign. Anyway I was in severe back pain spasms etc . I ran into the acupuncture Sang Han who works in this office, small house. At first he seemed interested but asked if I had insurance I said yes and showed him my card. He made copies all the while I was standing there in shear pain. He told me that I could come in on the Thursday at 11:00am . It was better than nothing I had at least an appointment even though no one else was around. Just him and I. Will get back to him later. The next day I came back to the office as this place was recommended by a colleague, I saw the receptionist/ secretary/office manager person and she saw that I was in bad pain but asked Me if I had insurance and I gave her the card, she checked it out and also made a copy. I then had to fill out several forms, I was in so much pain that I couldn't sit down and had to stand . I went back see Jennifer Stevens the chiropractor and she asked me questions , then put an electrical pulse pads on my lower back and left me alone for several minutes while she attended someone else? She then tried to adjust me and was clearly struggling and had to put a board between me and the bed/table. I then went to Leave still in pain and the office manager person told me the copay bill was $77.40, now I have highly rated insurance which is a PPO and my copay is $25. I told her that but was in so much pain and did not want to argue even though I attempted to explain. I went home still in extremely severe pain. The next day the acupuncture man texted me and told me that my copay was $25 at least he got that part right but later texted me changing my appointment and told me that I had to pay a $35 administrative fee on top of my copay. I texted back being curious and he said it was because he had to do paperwork. Isn't that what healthcare is in America? Anyway it was at that point That I called my insurance company as I was getting rather suspicious. They told me there is no administrative fee , I then told him and he cancelled me? Wow! Go figure. I then called the insurance company back and asked Them about the $77.40 and we immediately had a three way conversation, I was mainly listening as the insurance rep was explaining to The office person/receptionist/girl that it is $25 a visit copay that's it period. She said that they will give me credit on my Next visit. I called her back shortly after some thought as to how this center was just money driven and not Even caring about patients to cancel. She said they would send me a check For the difference. It had been over a month and I have not seen a dime or been given an apology or how are you feeling? I ended up going to see another chiropractor in the village who was 100% more sympathetic to his patients and not just about a money grab like the Carlsbad Chiropractic Center. Choice wisely people as there are quality chiropractors in the village that really care about their patients.

Kim at the front desk and Dr. Stevens are always great - super friendly, helpful and professional. They go above and beyond whenever we have questions on our health insurance and really do their best to explain things fully and clearly. Hubby and I both come. We've only done the chiropractic services (although I believe there are also acupuncture and massage services also offered), but we would definitely recommend it! The office is only open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but they have always been super awesome at fitting us in and making our appointments work within our schedules.

Mayra is always helpful in trying to accommodate as best as possible, and offers to place me on the wait list for sooner available appointments that work better with my schedule. I've been going to Dr. Mike for over a year now, and it has been so beneficial. My initial appointment, Dr. Mike sat down with me, listened to my history and concerns and thoroughly completed his assessment. After the assessment, he made his recommendations for the areas that he would be focusing on and how frequently I should be starting out with the visits. After over a year of seeing him, with all of the techniques and tools he utilizes on my back, I have noticed great improvement in the way that I feel. I am now currently pregnant and continue to see him. At the beginning of each session, he sits down, asks how I've been feeling, and explains the changes in techniques as the pregnancy is progressing. He truly takes the time to make sure that you, as the patient, have an understanding of what he does, and ensures that you have any and all questions answered after every visit. I have also been seeing Lori, one of the massage therapists in office, and having the combination of a massage, as well as the adjustment is the best! Having both Lori and Dr. Mike work in the same office is beneficial as they work hand in hand and are able to coordinate if necessary. Lori does an amazing job; she is very intuitive, attentive and sensitive to what your body needs, offering just the right amount of pressure as needed. I highly recommend seeking adjustments with Dr. Sam or Dr. Mike, and massages at Foundation Chiropractic!

At my first appointment, Dr. Mike spent an hour on me doing a thorough assessment. His patience, kindness, and professionalism was evident from the very first day! I felt very comfortable with him from the start. I've been going in about once a week since my first visit and I have seen a gradual improvement in my spine and joints despite the continuously strenuous nature of my job. And, as of a few weeks ago, my husband who has neck and back issues has also started seeing him (he commutes from Poway). At every appointment, Dr. Mike does a combination of techniques to get the best result. Getting adjusted hasn't always been a pleasant experience, but somehow Dr. Mike makes it completely stress-free. And he never pressures me to come in more than I need to. When I called once, earlier than my weekly appointment because I felt like I had pulled something, he told me to wait and see if my body resolves itself before coming in. I feel like he genuinely cares for his patients. Mayra at the front desk is also very helpful and kind. The office is very easy to reach. I never have problems with scheduling; they are very flexible when it comes to same day appointments and switching times to accommodate your needs. The office is very clean and modern with a calming aesthetic. My hubby and I are happy with our treatments so far and thankful to have found Foundation!
