Dr. Clark diagnosed my son with stage 2 scoliosis. My son was treated by Dr. Clark for at least two years sometimes twice a week and at a high co-pay due to our downsized insurance.
While I was happy to keep these appointments as long as I thought he was helping my son, (who was panicked by this diagnosis as was I and wanted to visit as often as possible) the high co-pay cost was taking a toll on our finances.
We stopped seeing Dr. Clark for a while when my son felt better but he wanted to go back because Dr. Clark insisted the scoliosis would get worse without treatment.
During the few months when my son was not seeing Dr. Clark, my son was working out at a gym and pulled a muscle in his back. A Chiropractor happened to be there and graciously worked on my son for almost 1/2 hour using pressure points as well as chiropractic adjustments. Afterward, my son felt much better and continued with his workout. During this time, I asked the Chiropractor to evaluate his back for scoliosis. He informed me that my son's spine was straight as an arrow with no signs of scoliosis! Imagine our surprise. I offered to pay but he graciously did not charge.
I additionally asked for a second opinion by his pediatrician when he went for an annual physical a few weeks later. This time I observed the evaluation as my son touched his toes and his spine appeared straight. His Pediatrician confirmed that there are no signs of scoliosis.
We are beyond angry with Dr. Clark for putting a scare into my son with a non-existing condition like scoliosis. My child had many anxiety attacks over this diagnosis. How evil of you Dr. Clark FRANKENSTEIN for trying to drum up business with a fake diagnosis. My son and I will always hate you for that. Dr. Clark is money hungry and will tell you anything to keep you coming back.
If you are interested in finding an excellent Chiropractor, then I highly recommend Dr. Mark J.
