I've had a great experience at The Scottsdale Chiropractor! I am just over halfway through my…read moretreatment plan and have noticed a significant improvement in my overall pain and quality of life as the pain isn't distracting me from my day to day or ability to work or complete tasks anymore. Both doctors are excellent and the entire staff is friendly and accommodating. I was drawn to this office because they start your treatment plan with x-rays so you can get down to the root of the issues, and every other visit includes PT. When my treatment plan is finished i will continue to schedule regular maintenance visits as well. So grateful to have found you guys!

-Expect a Sales Pitch -- and No Answers or Treatment Until You Agree to a Treatment Plan and…read moreSubsequent Visits- The pre-appointment process was smooth, professional, and well organized. Jacy made scheduling easy, and the communication and reminders leading up to the appointment were excellent. Likewise, on the day of my appointment, when I arrived, the receptionist was also warm, welcoming, and friendly, which made for a good first impression. That said, the experience changed significantly once the actual appointment began. One thing that immediately stood out to me on my May 11th visit was the lack of any bottled water or self-serve water station in the lobby, especially on a 100-degree Scottsdale day. It may seem minor, but patient comfort matters, and it's something I'd genuinely recommend improving. The appointment itself started with a medical assistant, Romina, doing a pre-screen while an intern observed. When Dr. Serafini entered, the dynamic quickly felt less patient-centered and more performance-driven. He dominated nearly every interaction, leaving little room for conversation or collaboration. At one point, I tried to add context about my symptoms and experience, and he abruptly responded with a very quick, "cool, cool, cool" before moving on. It felt dismissive and strangely cold. For context, I'm usually very talkative and engaged in medical appointments, but throughout this visit I found myself withdrawing because I didn't feel listened to. When discussing prior surgeries, Dr. Serafini immediately declared, "that's your problem right there," before reviewing imaging or completing a meaningful assessment. I explained that the surgery had been nearly 40 years ago and how I didn't believe adhesions to be likely only because they would have shown up by now and also, my symptom only began recently after horseback riding this year. His response felt more focused on establishing authority than understanding my situation, reminding me he'd done this for 25 years. My perspective didn't seem to matter much. And because I don't believe in arguing or peacocking, I didn't feel the need to remind him I've been in this body, feeling what's new vs what's normal for me for 46 years. The physical assessment itself often felt theatrical, almost like a demonstration for the intern observing. There was a lot of lecturing, showmanship, eye contact with the intern while speaking about concepts, and attempts to guide me toward agreement during strength testing; but not much genuine, unscripted dialogue. There were a few times where I honestly couldn't tell whether the supposed weakness he was pointing out was actually present. When this would happen, he seemed disappointed at my truth. It was only apparent some of the time. After X-rays were taken, I expected we would review them together and discuss findings. Instead, I was told to go to the front desk and schedule another hour-long appointment. I later learned I would not even be shown my X-rays, given a diagnosis, or discuss results until a follow-up visit. I paid for my appointment (assessment, x-rays, and exam), with tons of talking at me, but received NO value (diagnosis and no treatment/adjustment to kick off my treatment). I don't mind paying, when I receive value. In fact I'll be paying cash for my physical therapy appointments scheduled somewhere else. I think it's important to let other people know what to expect. That was extremely disappointing and confusing. I left having completed an exam, assessment, and X-rays -- but "without" any treatment, adjustment, diagnosis, or explanation of findings. I also had to ask basic questions while they were trying to schedule a second appointment for me, with no upfront explanation of future charges or treatment costs. I finally said, "You don't accept insurance, so I need to understand treatment costs for these appts." Only then did they provide information. Until that point, they were simply assuming the sale -- perhaps counting on some patients being too uncomfortable to pause and ask questions or decline next steps. I couldn't do that. I already had 5-6 physical therapy sessions scheduled elsewhere, a fact I had already related to the doctor that before he sent me to the front desk to sign up for physical therapy with them. Overall, the experience felt much more like a sales presentation than a healthcare appointment. They don't earn your business, but require you to continue to do business with them before they show your x-rays you've paid for, & discuss what your ailment is & get you adjusted to start feeling better. While the front-end staff and scheduling process were genuinely excellent, I personally did not feel heard, comfortable, or cared for once the doctor interaction began, and I won't be returning. And for those who need to know, they don't accept insurance. This is fine, but come into it eyes wide open since I don't know if everyone knows & it makes a difference for some.

I have been going to Pure Life for about 9 weeks, now. I originally came in for pretty intense…read morelower back pain after a lifting injury. This hasn't been an immediate or quick fix, but I am certainly able to function 80% better than when I came in and it only continues to get better. I like the systemic approach that Pure Life (Gonstead) chiropractors take by looking at X-rays and muscle stress/inflammation. Aside from my lower back improvements, I very rarely get headaches. Maybe 2 in the last 9 weeks. Other muscular tightness (hip flexors) has also improved. The consistent tension I was feeling between my shoulder blades is also completely gone. I cannot say enough good things. Scheduling is extremely easy, and the staff are so nice. Dr. Moses is the best- listens to feedback/concerns and truly cares about his patients. I would recommend (and have) Pure Life to anyone and everyone that'll listen. :)

Welcome to the hub of incompetence. My name is Chase Twillman, my Uncle is Secretary Mike Pompeo…read more I'd like to share my experience here, as I've concluded a full treatment plan with TLC. I can honestly say these people don't care about their patients. They are solely driven by taking ur money, with providing the least amount of service and hospitality possible! Essentially once they have your insurance, & don't have to rely on you paying every visit. After a miserable experience, I was bombarded with emails and phone calls to get you back in. Few years passed, & after suffering a shoulder dislocation, I set up another appointment two weeks in advance, thinking they might be under new management. I showed up within minutes of my appointment, and 30 minutes gone by with the receptionist only coming out from the back once. She notified doctor Sonya I was waiting to see her, patient after patient came in, all but one was complaining about how these people always make them wait in the lobby for ever. With one lady arguing with her mother, contemplating just walking into the back and interrupting the lounge session. After occupying the lobby for over an hour and half, the doctor finally comes out and apologizes because they made some mistake and probably double book. Despite pulling up my appointment on the computer, I was asked by the doctor to wait 30 min and they will see me. I waited 30 minutes, then the receptionist came out and asked me to wait an additional hour and half, at which point I walked out. I have never met a company more deserving of bankruptcy. We have to stop funding subpar business or they will never change! If you love your country, & have any respect for Pat Tillman or his family, I strongly urge you to avoid this establishment.
