Kathy McCauley, DPT, who runs Integrated Orthopedic Physical Therapy, is an excellent clinician!…read more I've seen good PT's and Chiropractors over the years for chronic back issues related to scoliosis and stenosis. She is the first clinician who sat with me to thoroughly explain what was going on with my body, through viewing my x-rays, computer generated anatomical pictures, and her own words. Her use of body adjustment/alignment techniques, Dry Needling, body work and prescribed exercises, helped me recover much of my regular functional life activities. Kathy is very personable, an excellent communicator and is an extremely competent and professional physical therapist. I highly recommend her!

In the last week of May this year (2019) I got what I thought was a bad cold. But unlike other…read morecolds, it lasted, and lasted. Eventually, both my ears closed because of fluid buildup and I totally lost hearing. My treatment from conventional routes included 4 antibiotics, two prescriptions of oral prednisone, two prescriptions of inhaled medication and four nasal sprays. In addition, I sought treatment from 4 other speciality providers. By now, it was the end of August and I was still totally deaf and still had infection in my ears. In desperation I sought an alternative treatment and sought out the services of Dr. Joyce. I had never experienced acupuncture before but my primary physician thought it may help as nothing else had been effective. Truly, after one treatment with Dr. Joyce, I got back about 30% of hearing in one ear. With subsequent treatments my full hearing has returned and the infection subsided. While I knew that acupuncture was helpful for musculoskeletal issues, I never dreamed that it could be helpful with blocked eustachian tubes. I wish I had known months before. Later in the course of my illness, I learned that I probably had whooping cough, and that traditionally, none of the conventional treatments help to alleviate those symptoms. I highly recommend Dr. Joyce and her team at New Beginnings!

Earlier this year i needed to see a chiropractor and my regular doctor was still closed. friends…read moresuggested New Beginnings and i was happy to learn they were open and accepting new patients. Dr. Matt was more than willing to work with me on a temporary basis until my regular doctor opened again, but the weeks went on and i was feeling better, so i made the decision to switch permanently. During my initial assessment Dr. Matt mentioned that some patients have been able to reduce their thyroid medications after neck adjustments........i didn't doubt it, but really never thought it would happen to me. less than three months of treatments and i had some strange symptoms that had me calling my primary doctor. Turns out i needed to reduce my thyroid medication, after being on the same dose for many years. i started caring for a baby at the beginning of the Covid crisis and she is now a 22 pound 15 month old. My adjustments at New Beginnings are enabling this 68 year old grandma to lift her and take her in the pool with me, etc. My friends who originally suggested New Beginnings told me it was life changing for them, and i have to agree!

GREAT! I was injured by a dishonest Chiropractor in 2009. Upper back, leg, neck misaligned. Vertigo…read moreand impaired vision, eye movement... Vertigo every time I moved my right arm, mainly at night in bed. After searching for 2 years for help, being refused by 5 other chiropractors (they were afraid to get involved); I found Dr. Francis Ermilio at Gold Star Chiropractic. He is HONEST. He fixed the neck, spine in one treatment. I could use my arm! No more vertigo, the eyes... healed. I am still healthy, no vertigo... in year 2023! Thank God for this man! A nice Spanish man I met on the street one day referred me to Dr. Ermilio. (The reason I did not write a review in the past is; I was afraid the dishonest Chiropractor who injured me might give HONEST Chiropractors a hard time. As the years went by I met many more people who have been injured by the dishonest Chiropractor that injured me. The TRUTH is finally out. We can all speak it without fear or retaliation.)

He is patient, listens when you explain what is bothering you, and then performs very effective adjustments.

I have referred a number of friends to him over the years, and all of them have been extremely happy with the results. It is definitely worth the trip to S. Hadley to see him.

Dr. Levine immediately recognized the minor kyphosis from my computer and reading work, showed me Bruegger's Relief Position and flat out CURED me, permanently, in 3 minutes.

I was afraid of the jerky adjustments I had heard about, but she uses smooth movements and she is absolutely such a joy to be around that one can't help but loosen up in her presence, physically, emotionally, and mentally! The staff is friendly and there is never an issue with scheduling--Dr. Levine will come in early or stay late to make sure you get your treatment. At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, Linda is truly a wonderful person and her ability to emotionally connect and put patients at ease is an added bonus to the physical relief attained during her sessions; you pay for an adjustment and leave with a smile, thanks to her enthusiasm and effervescence.

Warm welcoming reception area, friendly and efficient receptionist, very short wait, and bang..just about on time. A person came in and did all the preliminaries, data checks, height, weight, BP, etc. Shortly thereafter the Nurse Practitioner arrived. She asked pertinent questions. She must have re-read the paperwork from last year. She was prepared for our encounter. She actually listened to what I said. Amazing! She put me at ease, yet checked off all the blocks involved in the annual "wellness check". She offered some very real suggestions. She did all the required "physical" stuff, and even some extra checks. Super competent. Additionally, she possessed a good technical depth about some of my health concerns. She knew what she was talking about, and gave both sides of a topic. I especially liked the, "if I were advising my own family member" approach. Just a good solid competent straight ahead response to my questions. I can't speak about the Cooley Dickenson network as a whole, but the office of Hampshire Family Physicians in Belchertown sure did a good job with me. Kerry Chenausky was the NP.
