I could not even turn around in bed because of the paralyzing pain, it felt like a nerve was exposed and pinched. The sciatic pain affected my ability to function in daily activities and especially at night. I knew I needed to see someone about it to get some relief from the pain. I decided to see a chiropractor since I did not want to have surgery or take drugs which would've been my last resort. I went to see Dr. Todd Whittemore at Stow Chiropractic to treat my sciatic pain. He performed tests such as an X-ray and EMG scan to determine what was causing the pain, assess my condition, and get to the root cause. With these tests, he was able to devise a personalize action plan to treat my sciatic pain and back. When I started the treatments, I was feeling much better. My pain level was no longer excruciating and I finally felt relief and improved each time I saw him. I am able to sleep better at night, function better during the day with more energy. Previously, I went to another chiropractor near my home in Sudbury, MA before I saw Dr. Todd Whittemore at Stow Chiropractic. The previous chiropractor was not effective in addressing my sciatic pain and I felt worse than when I started. Afterwards, based on a referral, I went to see Dr. Todd Whittemore at Stow Chiropractic who has great reviews online and a very informative website; he is very effective in addressing my sciatica and back issues. I've learned from experience that not all chiropractors are the same and so glad I did not give up my search for the right one. Dr. Todd Whittemore is excellent and can quickly address the areas that need treatment. Also, he is professional, personable, and kind. Dr. Todd Whittemore makes you feel at ease when you talk with him about your health issues and listens; he is always willing to assist to improve your overall health. The Stow Chiropractic office is modernized, state-of-the-art, comfortable and clean. Melissa, the office manager and staff are friendly and helpful. If you need a great chiropractor, I would highly recommend Dr. Todd Whittemore at Stow Chiropractic.

I came to Community Chiropractic 8 months ago after being diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis,…read morehad been bedridden for 2 months and in pain for years. I got a cortisone shot just before beginning treatment, which worked a short-term miracle, but again it's been over 8 months and was told, and was expecting, I'd need another shot in 3 months or so, yet here I am completely pain-free. The care I've gotten has also realigned a body that had gotten really unbalanced after years of pain-compensating. I also enjoy the healing environment there, the friendly staff, the ever-changing soothing music, and not that I ever have to wait, but if so there's a wonderful foot massager, which I sometimes use after a treatment. These days, when I go there I feel overwhelming gratitude. So, this is not a review as much as it is a "thank you", for literally changing my life.

Procedure took three hours - when I mentioned this to another doctor - he remarked "He's a rock star." I couldn't agree more. I know of neighbors on my street who have a sum total of 6 hip replacements - and they all have complaints. Not me. Do yoursef a favor - get Dr Phillips. Oh yeah - be sure to ask him about his boat. It was a 42 footer last I knew. Or maybe a 47 footer. He'll let you know.

I had a hip replacement by Dr. Phillips in 2018. I was having pain in my hip and saw Dr Phillips…read morelast year on May 2, 2024. it was clear that after examination that I had right trochanteric bursitis, and my hip replacement was fine. He suggested he could give me a cortisone shot. Due to me being extremely allergic to Polyethylene Glycol in which I have an anaphylactic reaction (Dr. Phillips is aware of this as it noted in my record.). When he suggested the a cortisone shot my wife and I asked at the same time "Does the shot contain Polyethylene Glycol." His response, "not that I'm aware of". Knowing what happens to me you would think he would review the ingredients. Well Polyethylene Glycol was the main ingredient of the cortisone shot and I had a serious Anaphylactic reaction. I felt sick immediately after the shot and the front desk receptionist brought me to the bathroom and left. My wife came to find me a few minutes later and I was on the floor unconscious. She new immediately what happen. Everyone in office came running and 911 was called. Nobody got an EpI pen, Dr Phillips stood there and said to me, "my husband passed out." I was rushed to Newton Wellesley hospital and it was so severe and was a touch and go situation. Dr. Philllips negligence caused harm and unnecessary body and organ stress to me that could have resulted in death. it would have taken a few minutes to investigate the ingredients in the shot. I reported this to the medical board and they decided not to recommend disciplinary action. He was more or less slapped on hand and the Complaint Committee sent him a letter to "remind him the importance of reviewing and verifying ingredient labels when a specific question is raised by a patient with allergy concern". I would think twice before considering an appointment with him. A concerned and caring doctor would have at least called me to see how I was doing. That tells you something. ML - Sept 23, 2025
