If I could give Dr Pendolino and his staff 6-stars, I'd do it in a heartbeat…read more
I've been to upwards of a couple dozen chiropractors over the years. They're all very nice but "nice" only gets you so far. When I go to a chiropractor, I'm going for 2 reasons;
1. Relief; and
2. To get a LOT of questions answered;
That's just how I am. When I go to any doctor, I want to know...
1. If the doctor can comprehend precisely what I'm going through;
2. How it got that way based on the info I gave him/her; and
3. What can be done about it; and
4. If it's truly rehab'-able, or if it's a forever maintenance kind of thing.
I want someone who not only can answer my questions with an air of expertise, but who also WANTS to answer my questions and WANTS me to REALLY understand what s/he understands the path of healing/restoration that is available to me.
Dr. Michael Pendolino is GUILTY of all of the above.
First, his reception Lisa is, how do I put this?, kind of like a big sister/young mother. She's very sharp, great with details and sorta thinks to remind you of everything you need to know in case you forget it. Which is good because I can lose my socks on my way from the bedroom to the kitchen.
Dr Pendolino has a very sharp, engaging mind. You can tell, without a doubt, that he's extremely knowledgeable and exceptionally passionate about his work.
To-date, I have only done spinal decompression here. If you don't know what it is, Google it, but it's a fairly recent, proven therapy that helps restore healthy disk function. So, if you have collapsed and/or bulging disks, or pinched nerves, etc, a few pulls on this Star-Trek looking thing and you start to notice some "interesting" relief.
My head just wasn't ready to believe I felt better so quickly from a collapsed disk I'd had in my lower cervical.
Spinal decompression is not covered by insurance and it can be a bit pricey but they have a financing company available and, even with a couple of credit blips, I was able to get credit instantly. Believe me, if your back/neck is hurting because of disk problems, this is totally worth it!
I can't yet speak for his regular chiro mojo but, if you are suffering from back/neck problems, I strongly suggest you contact Dr. Pendolino and set up an appointment for a consultation with him. He'll answer all your questions to your complete satisfaction.
There is also a phyiscal therapist and acupuncturist in the office, and a massage therapist coming soon.
