Maximized Living is a national organization of Christian doctors who incorporate Christianity into their practice. I was VERY turned off by this and chose to stop going to Dr. Pat for that reason. They play Christian music in the office. They ask you about God on health assessment forms. They tell you that God gave your body the ability to heal itself through proper alignment of the spine. I completely respect people of faith. I used to be a really committed Christian myself. But I do not think medicine and science should integrate with religion. And if they do, I should be made aware of it before paying money for medical services and treatment. read more

Dr. Pat is great at spinal adjustment and extremity treatment. I was able to finish an Ironman Triathlon thanks to the continuous care for my body I received with him. He not only adjusts you to get to maximum potential but also does a good job explaining why it's needed (even if you don't feel any pain) The staff is great and professional as well. Let them take care of you! read more

I've been to a variety of chiropractors, some good, some bad. This one is particular charges upwards of $50 for approximately 3 minutes of service. Dr. Anderson is by far the pushiest chiropractor I've ever met, his main focus is to deep into your pockets and get you locked into a relatively high rate. I am warning you now that it will be very difficult to break services, he has many unprofessional tactics to keep you locked in. In terms of quality of service, he does a decent job to eliminate spasms and pinched nerves. I was there for 2 years and noticed zero long-term improvement beyond pinched nerves. He will make claims such as curing cancer, diabetes, hearing loss, scoliosis, and so forth. Another word of warning, he will want you to be exposed to a LOT of X-rays. This is immensely expensive, and is quite a bit of radiation. At the end of the day, his clients empty their pockets so they can spend 3 minutes with him while the guy drives a $300,000 supercar. Find something a little more local and personable for pinched nerves, get some deep tissue massage for muscular issues, and talk to your medical professional for health concerns before you wind up in the hospital or worse. One last thing. HE PAYS PEOPLE TO GIVE 5-STAR REVIEWS. Read them with a grain of salt. read more

I have been coming to ChiroUSA since October 2011. Initially I came for my right shoulder. I have been being treated for both my lower back and right shoulder. Dr. Pat has been able to keep me relatively pain free, for which I a very grateful! The office staff is very friendly. I especially like the monthly free education sessions. They are especially informative. If you have aches and pains it is worth giving them a try. My 94-year old mother had been having back pains for years and had gone to all types of doctors and specialists, since seeing Dr. Pat, she has been pretty much pain free. read more

Dr Wayne and Dr Pat have helped my back and neck pain tremendously. After an adjustment I notice I can concentrate more clearly and my body just FEELS GOOD! The "at home" exercises are KEY to your treatment and your maximized living. Every morning I do my warm up exercises and trust me I can tell the difference in my day when I don't do them. The exercises help "get the blood moving" each morning and wake me up and get my going. Finishing your day with these exercises helps me get ready for bed and "check in" with my mind and body before bed. Thanks Maximized Living! read more

Dr. Pat and Maximized Living bring Christianity into their medical practices & that was something I could not deal with. I was asked to fill out progress questionnaires that asked questions about God. The office played Christian music over the PA system. I was told about how God created my body with the potential to heal itself through correct alignment of the spine. It was just weird. I have love and respect for many people of faith, but I will not cross religious beliefs with the science of medicine and biology. Waiting times were also a problem for me. I would arrive at my scheduled adjustment time and wait 10 minutes on the table (even when no other patients were there waiting) for Dr. Pat to come adjust me, which takes less than 5 minutes. So, I got to pay for 10 minutes of laying there listening to Christian music and 5 minutes with the God Doctor. I was also overcharged, which they did correct. But I thought they were billing my insurance, when apparently they weren't. They had me on a lower payment system where I paid in advance for a lesser fee per session. They said that way compensated for billing insurance, so you either get to use your insurance benefits and pay full price or pay a discount but get no benefit from your insurance. After all was said and done, that is fine, however, I was under the false impression that insurance was being billed. It was confusing and I wasn't sure if I just misunderstood or if they really did just not explain the full details to me. I was told to buy home-use equipment as well. Which I never used. I was told that in order to progress to the next level of treatment, I had to buy certain items and use them at home. The treatment I received did seem to help my problems. So it's really unfortunate that the rest of my experience with this business was so unpleasant. read more

Dr. Pat is amazing. No one has to pay me or even ask me to say so. Since I met him and have been getting treatment, I have been singing his praises to anyone who would listen. I've suffered blinding headaches that last for months without easing up, I suffer from dizzy spells and passing out. I have horrible back pain that makes living from moment to moment unbearable. Dr. Pat has changed all of that in my life. I haven't fainted in over a month. I have had two headaches in the last five weeks and both of them lasted an hour or less like a normal headache should. I can go an entire day or more without any sense of pain in my body and that hasn't happened in over 15 years. It's true that the first time you go to see Dr. Pat, he isn't going to adjust you. The way he does his exam it's so thorough that he needs time to really look at your x-rays and make sure that your treatment is made JUST FOR YOU! If you're looking for a one time adjustment where the Chiropractor gives you a cookie cutter adjustment, than no, this isn't the place you want to come to. If you're looking for real treatment for what's REALLY wrong with your body, and you want to actually have long term results and real long lasting pain relief, with a doctor that actually cares enough to look at the x-rays and care about your body as a whole, then this amazing guy is your answer. He saved my life and gave my kids their mom back. I couldn't have imagined my life like this, especially after being ignored by doctors for over 15 years and deciding there was no hope left for me. ALSO there was no christian undertone, no christian music playing, no one has ever said the word god to me there and I've never felt more welcome anywhere. They really make it feel like home right when you walk in the door. read more

We were first recommended here through a gentleman that helped me purchase my car and offered us a "free-x-ray and checkup" pass that pushed us to come to this Chiropractic center. Dr. Wayne started the full check-up for my wife and we waited on the X-ray because she might have been pregnant and found out that the pregnancy results were positive. Without any X-ray, we started off by going 3 times a week and things seemed to go okay. As we started going the assigned days, my wife's experience was positive at first and then turned very negative. She felt that Dr. Wayne would only attend to her needs precisely when I was there watching by her side and if I was not present, the session wouldn't even last 30 seconds. On one occasion Dr. Wayne attended my wife, he cracked her neck in a certain way that has caused her pain to continue even to this day with occasional headaches and constant neck muscle pains. At the time we ignored the temporary pain and thought it might get better but sadly, her back condition is worse than before and her neck is in extreme conditions. By the time our assigned schedule was done (with the extended set-up sessions without even consulting us) we ended up owing over $3,000 and wanted to see if we could get the X-ray discount that we couldn't get at the start due to my wife's pregnancy; especially with the financial hardships we face with a new baby in the family and my wife not being able to work with her back pains and the Chiropractic Center telling us that we could receive the discount after her pregnancy (She finally received her X-ray when we decided to be done with the services). Prior to moving to a different state, we have attempted excessive amounts of phone calls to see if we could get the X-ray discount and even change the account payment information due to the unavailability of the bank branch in my area. But obviously, phone calls are directed to voice-mail and today I have been notified of overdraft. I have heard great things about Dr. Pat so I don't put my opinion on his abilities but please do consider what I have written on the other information. I do not recommend this Center because of their lack of costumer responsibilities, their service, and their morality. read more

I have never met a more experienced or extensively trained chiropractor in my long life. Dr. Pat's mission in life is to heal people and to help them on their road to wellness without the use of drugs. I am deeply impressed by the depth of his knowledge and experience. He has helped me with my lifelong battle with migraines and my decade long struggle with wrist, should and elbow pain from computer work. He has the world's best interest at heart and wants to heal everyone! He's very caring and kind, I highly recommend him especially compared to the lackadaisical and so-so chiropractors out there who have minimal knowledge and experience and there are thousands of them! You get what you pay for and he is one of the best in the country. He TEACHES other chiropractors. We're lucky to have him in little old Madison, I can't believe he's not in a huge city. read more

Went there after a recommendation. First my wife signs on and he wants to see the whole family before he talks about her "condition". Great sales technique, get the family in there and convince everyone that they need care. We all signed on. We were assured our insurance covered the care, we found out later it didn't. Besides the adjustments, we did the electric stimulation therapy, and therapeutic exercises as well. We were not aware (no communication on this at all) that each of these services were separate charges as well. Of course when I found out none of this is covered by our insurance we were already in way over our head financially. Is some of this my fault? In retrospect, you bet. However, the communication on billing and services could have been much more clear (List them plainly please). I would have never agreed to any of these (recommended) services had I known of the charges beforehand. The care was ok, I've received the same at other places, but the the financial manipulations were exemplary. Caution...... read more
