I have been seeing Dr. Maddox for about 10 years, and can not recommend him highly enough. I was referred to him by another chiropractor who was one of several Dr.s at a large, "corporate feeling" clinic that was very pricey and(right off the bat), wanted me to fill out a questionnaire indicating friends and family that I think would benefit from their services, etc. (Frankly, the experience, just rubbed me and my wallet the wrong way). At the time I had no insurance and worked as a self-employed auto tech full time (not a body friendly profession). I've sustained several injuries from my "bulletproof" youth including, 2 "neck-wrenching" car wrecks in my teens (ever seen a 4000 lb car "bounce" 5 feet off the trunk of a tree ....while inside of it ?) and a "thrown-out" lower back ---(from an exercise machine of all things.....anyone remember "the Cardio-Glide"?)-- that have persistently flared up as I've gotten older. After paying this other Dr. $40 or $50 ("10 years ago dollars") a visit to adjust me a couple of times. I said: " I can't afford you. Can you offer or recommend a realistic option? " And thank God, this Dr. put my care before his bottom line, and told me about Dr. Maddox. I've not seen anyone else since. Dr. Maddox had and has a VERY REASONABLE price structure. He's always offered a "Gold Care" plan whereby he charges one flat rate for a year. (I think he offers 6 month plans as well). I know he accepts insurance too. I'm always welcome to see him for an adjustment when I need one. With MY body's particular issues, I would have gone bankrupt at the first Dr.'s "each visit" prices...and, perhaps worse, been unable to do things like: walk w/o pain, much-less play volleyball (almost every Tuesday night) for the last 6 years. MOST IMPORTANTLY I felt and still FEEL TRULY CARED FOR by this man. He obviously cares about people and enjoys helping them heal. Dr. Maddox is very upbeat, has a great understated sense of humor (his outgoing phone mssg encourages one to leave a mssg for him OR his beloved dog Radar), (btw Radar....if you're reading this, you need to start returning some of those calls :-). He takes the time to explain, in layman's terms why my body does what it does and sometimes even why I "might not want to" do to it some of the things I do. I even sleep in a different position because of him. I always slept on my (ahem...seemingly ever growing) stomach and would draw one leg up higher than the other. The afore-mentioned "C-Glide" lower back injury did not like this at all. (Take note "stomach sleepers" I now sleep on my side with: a cervical memory foam pillow cradling my neck and head... another pillow between my knees (as per his recommendation) relieves strain to my lower back and (my own addition) a pillow under the "top-side" arm). I've never slept better and I no longer throw out my lower back...not from sleeping "wrong" anyway. (He was recommending sleeping on my back...this was the compromise). I haven't even touched on this years neck issue (resulting from frequently holding the phone with tilted head at work) with which I clearly had a pinched nerve...we're talking numb fingers...radiating "electricity feeling" spasms going down my left arm. This one really scared me. Since this condition was taking a lot longer to respond to adjustments than my array of other previous issues, in addition to chiropractic, I sought out the advice of an orthopedic Dr. along with massage etc.. The orthopedic was recommending steroids with surgery as the bottom line. This was a "line" I was willing to consider, only as a very last resort. It took a few weeks of adjustments including "drop table" adjustments on my neck (in conjunction with gentler variations of the adjustments I usually receive) for the condition to gradually start to improve. It is now totally back to "normal" (for me). I played volleyball with the gang for the first time in quite a while last night !! I could go on....and...I know...I already have. But this review is long overdue. A lot of his other regular patients call him Mike (which he seems to have no issue with), and even though I now count him amongst my best friends (he's a good listener too) I've always call him "Dr. Maddox" as a show of my respect and heartfelt appreciation of the part he's played in the improvement and continued maintenance of my quality of life. If you're reading Dr. Maddox....THANK YOU SO MUCH for all you've done for me and by extension, my family. read more
