I had terrible back pain and they took me in right away. I had a trip planned and they worked with me right up to my trip. The staff is very helpful and friendly .

His tactics are really predatory. He is probably a great doctor but no educated person should be not bothered by his approach with potential new patients. He has you come in and do x-rays and then wants to put you up with a care plan with your spouse, it is all very dramatic and all while he is telling you that you are pretty much dead without him he never really divulges specifics of his care plan or what he will fix. The science is there, but he comes off like a terrible salesman.

My experience with Hendrickson Chiropractic would be deemed 'Poor' at best. I was under the impression I was going to learn about problems I had in my shoulders and neck, but instead ended up spending two hours being disrespected by the staff and left feeling uncomfortable, like I was listening to a sales pitch. The center itself is very clean and professional, but the care they provide is not. I had to wait for a considerable amount of time due to a low staff of actual doctors, and I was perturbed by the amount of religious and political comments during my visits. It is my opinion that these topics should stay out of a doctor-patient relationship. What I mean by a 'sales pitch' is that the doctors there use scare tactics to create urgency, basically saying if you don't accept their care, you will rapidly deteriorate and live an awful, unhealthy life. Their solution is to go through their expensive treatment not covered under any insurance, including a commitment to attending informational seminars and purchasing an expensive amount of dietary supplements. The way the staff treated me seemed incredibly passive and almost rude, and the doctors were unnecessarily pushy about committing me to an expensive treatment plan. The techniques they used did improve my neck problems for a few days, but the atmosphere of the facility and the greasy sales techniques of the doctors was not worth what another, more professional and medically accredited doctor could provide.
