Just a little background - I had been going to a family chiropractor in Mechanicsville for 10+…read moreyears and decided to establish care in Charlottesville after attending college and grad school here. I chose SW because I had a sports medicine background and knew that he had treated a lot of UVA athletes throughout his career. Honestly, Dr. Wagner himself did not give me a good first impression. I emphasized my two degrees in Kinesiology, assuming that I would not be spoken down to, but his overall tone was passively arrogant and abrasive in the majority of interactions I had with him. On most of the days that I have been seen by Dr. W rather than another chiropractor, I have not felt that my visits have been worth the cost in a relative sense, as he seems to only spend 90 seconds in the exam room with me, and his adjustment techniques are quite rough, even for someone who has had chiropractic for most of her life. Dr. Sterling on the other hand, is wonderful. He is polite, patient, and seems to place a great deal of focus on patient-provider relationships and comfort level of the patient, and when he is in the exam room, I generally feel like I am his only patient in that moment (which is how it should be), not on a conveyor belt of other patients waiting. Please note, I am a young adult who receives chiropractic for health maintenance and overall wellness, in addition to optimizing my biomechanics for long-distance running, so for someone who is fighting off an injury or has another clinically significant motive for receiving care, the content of this review might not be relevant, as fulfillment in one's experience may be more based on outcomes of range-of-motion and mobility in those cases. Also, I acknowledge that my care requires less time and intensity of efforts on the provider's end, and that I should not necessarily be prioritized in receiving their attention. I do intend to keep coming to this practice for chiropractic care, but with the expectation that I can be seen by the specific provider I request who meets my needs/preferences the most.

I also had a concussion, couldn't hear out of my left ear for a few months, had Bell's palsy, shingles and 3 bulging discs in my neck. I told Dr. Grant I thought I was going to have to get a lawyer to get Geico to stop harassing me, and he accused me of being the problem. fine, whatever, have your opinion. something else he did disgusts me. He told me and 2 other family members he released an entrapped tendon and repaired my rotator cuff, but in my surgical notes he changed that. luckily for me he wrote it on my post op note when leaving the hospital in his handwritten statement. it's the only up reason my medical costs were covered. what a jerk! do better Dr. grant! thank god I had a lawyer because my doctor didn't care what happened to me. that's clear. his surgery skills were fine, however.

I wore them (almost $300) for a year. At the end of the year I had terrible tendonitis in my left leg. I then spent a bunch of money trying to solve it, and the opinion of 2 docs at Uva, and 2 physical therapists was that the left orthotic made my foot roll out. I emailed and called Blue Ridge to discuss this, and at least get my money back. I never heard back from anyone. But beyond the money, I suffered a great deal of pain as a result of this improperly fitted orthotic and got no response at all. I finally got it solved by going to Rodney Madigan at Move Better PT. He looked at these orthotics and saw the issues. He worked with me which helped and sold me some off the shelf orthotics that addressed the supination in my right foot and solved the left leg issues. To me this is unbelievable. The worst service/medical experience of my life and I'm 63. Stay away!!!!

I went to see Dr. Murray (recommended by a PA as 'the best') for a Morton's neuroma in my foot. I…read morewas told my high arches has caused it, and a map for an orthotic was made, using an ipad to scat the sole of my foot. I had told Dr. Murray that I had had one prior steroid injection, which worsened the pain, and that I was not responsive to lidocaine as a numbing agent. I agreed to receive one injection from him, as the orthotics would take 2 weeks to be made and he assured me the prior doctor had 'done it wrong.' This is the most unbelievable pain I have ever had- And I have been treated for cancer, had many biopsies, and so on. I hopped out on one foot, and did not regain full weight bearing for a week. The pain at that point (post-injection) encompassed the outer third of my foot- and that has not changed since that time. I wore the orthotics for 2 months, came back, said it was no better, wore them for another 3 months- no better- arches more comfortable, but neuroma worse. This was the LAST visit I will ever make to this place. I was told that 1) I was wrong because 'steroids always relieve pain' so I could not, therefore, have pain. 2) He had NOTHING else to offer- no cryo freezing, no surgery, no alcohol injection- NOTHING. 3) I repeatedly asked if there was anything other than the steroid/lidocaine injection, and he got angry and dismissive, and told me that 'NO, This is all there is. If you change your mind, come back and I will give you another injection.' He had been rude and dismissive on the first post-injection visit, but I thought, 'well, everyone has an off day now and then.' but the next, and last, visit was even worse because the attitude was the same, and no viable treatment options were presented. I feel I wasted time and money here, and, in going here, allowed the neuroma to essentially be "untreated" for the better part of a year, as nothing he did helped it.
