Dr. Timothy Joseph Gurrola

Closed up shop when pandemic hit and never reopened, leaving all his patients stranded without any referrals. I had to go find another chiropractor who, I have found, is way better than he was. How can you just dump all your patients like that?

I thought I'd do something nice and show some appreciation to the doctors that have helped me. And good thing I saw this other review that's negative as soon as I did. I know that my spine goes all the way down to my tailbone. Dr. Gurrola is exceptionally thorough and when fixing my hips or lower back, he has to be able to clearly touch, examine and adjust me - on my hips and lower back. He gets me out of pain. He's not magic, nothing is inappropriate and he’s clearly acting within the scope of his profession. I’ve been his patient long enough to say with certainty that he does not walk in on his patients. Ever. Dr. Gurrola is easy to talk to, very honest and most serious about providing the best care to his patients.

Was seen for over 4 months 2-3 times a week with very little improvement (they don't take insurance). Felt uncomfortable and taken advantage of during adjustment. He would pull my pants half way down to expose my bottom just to adjust me. He also would pull my pants down underneath my gown with underwear exposed to 'check my hip alignment'. He also walked in on me changing before the appt several times when he knew I just gotten into the room. I want every woman to know these 'method' of adjustments are not right! If you feel uncomfortable listen to your instinct and get out! I wish I had sooner. No one expects their doctor to violate them but it's out there. I doubled checked this 'method' with my new Chiroprator and she was appalled. I have since reported him to the state Chiropractic Board so everyone, especially women will know!

When I first came to Dr. Gurrola years ago I was in terrible pain. I had a bad disc in my upper neck. It didn't take him long to fix it and relieve my pain. He also has helped me with my lower back, knee, elbow, headaches and foot pain. Without him I would be miserable and in pain. Dr. Gurrola and his staff really care. He takes his time to explain what he is doing and how it will help. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed. His office is neat and clean. His staff is great! They are very helpful. Many times I had to change my appointment because of work. They have always found a way to get me in to see the doctor when that happens. I will continue to see him on a monthly basis for maintenance appointments even when my pain is gone. Thank you Dr. Gurrola and staff for all that you do!

Best upper-cervical adjustments I've ever had.

Sharing my Journey~☆ Just in case it could help anyone... I have been having problems with my bones lately...raised first rib. (Extremely Painful & I'm no Wuss) It kept getting adjusted felt better then kept popping up....I felt I was out of the woods... But then my spine felt like it was spinning & it was very painful to lay down at night. It would make waking up in the mornings almost unbearable...If I laid on my neck my vision would go blurry...one night I panicked because I could barely see...I had night sweats, and the capacity to breath kept getting less & less. This was going on 2+ maybe 3 months... I Love my job but I started to resent making people feel better when I felt so bad...I tried to downplay it because I didn't want people to feel sorry for me & I wanted to continue on as normal. As the weeks went & I thought I was better ....but it was wishful thinking. I couldn't leave the house without my handy dandy kinisiology tape or my muscles would contract so much it would feel like I was being choked out. Still trying to procede as normal.....James would tape my neck for me & I gave Tara Ryba a $&!+ load of massages because I wasn't up to my 100%......although I gave 100% of my remaining capacity. I was starting to panic & fight off feeling woah is me & depressed...I thought, what if I never feel better again? This thought began to haunt me. I went to Chiropracters although good my adjustments weren't holding. I felt like I had ribs out of place by my chest or something was locked by my clavicle & collarbone. The scariest is not being able to breathe.....for sure. Found out today that where my skull opens to neck & my first vertebrae meet.... ........Were not lining up at all....of the round circle that your spinal cord runs through...less then half of the opening was available & my body & brain were more less short circuiting.... Throwing off all of my adjustments...it was honestly torture & the pain at times made me feel like I wanted to be put in a temporary coma...no joke I am not used to chronic pain. Who wants it I know. I have so many things I want to do & was barely getting through my days... wah wah.... I know but true. Dr. Gurrolla in Laporte took many x-rays & found the source of my problem...he adjusted it once so far but have to go back for several more. To be honest... I cried....I do not like to be weak but I could finally take in a deep breath....to be more honest......I cried all the way home. Tears of relief. I know I am not totally out of the woods but this is the first day in like 3 months that I feel like myself or starting to... & I am EVER so thankful... For anyone that wants to know Dr. Gurrolla is the only one in the AREA that does this adjustment. (UPPER Cervical) Thank you Jesus! For my 1st day of my journey back to health ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ Sharing my Journey~☆ Just in case it could help anyone... … More
