Universal Chiropractic and Dr. Richard Ziarkowski "Dr. Z" came as recommendation from an associate of mine at work and I'm glad they did. Both my wife and I are dealing with back and neck pain from a car accident that we were involved in about four months ago.
Getting an appointment was fairly easy for my after work hours. The fact that we are dealing with an insurance claim was not a problem for them either, they work with insurance claims frequently.
Our first appointment had to be rescheduled due to a blizzard that sent me home from work early. Got the new appointment scheduled for just a couple days later.
We showed up about 15 minutes early to take care of paperwork and didn't have to wait too long to go back to the treatment room for initial consultation.
The Doctor is amazing! The staff was very accommodating and allowed both my wife and I to go in to the same treatment room so that we wouldn't have to take turns considering we have a 7 month old. We discussed the accident and he was very attentive and listened to our concerns and asked plenty of questions to make sure that we had a solid treatment plan established. It was found that we would need X-rays as we had not had this done after the accident, after doing my own research I found this was normal practice and am glad we had them done. (X-rays were conducted by a third party location before our next visit, doctor provided recommended locations to do x-rays)
After returning for our first adjustment appointment the importance of the x-ray was blatant as the doctor was able to utilize the films to pinpoint exactly what would need to be done and this affirmed out treatment plan that we had previously discussed.
As my wife had never had any chiropractic work done previously, I volunteered to go first so she could observe what the doctor would be doing and help alleviate any concern she may have had.
Dr. Z was very vocal and informative throughout my treatment. He explained what he was going to do, what to expect, why he was doing it, and how it would help us before any adjustments were made.
The clinic also offers a range services that include; decompression, massage therapy, and even yoga. Dr. Z and his associates were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They show a true passion for their practice and most importantly, they show their patients how much they care about the patients health.
They accept most insurances, and if you will not be using insurance, they have affordable rates which is great if you will be using cash or a HSA to make payment!
Overall I can say that I was extremely pleased and look forward to the next session! read more
