Yes. He emphasis a lot on the marketing aspect....some of his patients also commented that why he needs to wear coat and tie during the treatment.
Anyway, it is individual preference. If you somehow find a good chiro who offer lower prices, do share your experience here. Cheer!
What i didnt like is... Why do he has to charge by packages? Gonstead chiros r suppose to only fix d problem n let d body heal on its own. N not needing u to constantly keep getting adjusted for no apparent reason.
If lets say u let patient try out first for few times and if they feel comfortable u recommend them package thats fine but what he is practicing is not like that. They want to tie u down so that u don have the chance to go for other chiros.
I got adjusted by mike before too. He is good in the sense of d back but for my neck he made me felt even worst. When i informed him of it , he was too egoistic that he cannot accept my negative feedback.
And now i had an acute pain with me twisting my knee, he even came to the extent of not fixing my problem jus bcz i dont intend to sign up for his package. Is this what an ethical chiropractor does? Imagine i was in pain and yet he didnt want to help. Whatmore he says his aim is to help patients but with such an attitude, i wonder if he ever have d heart to help ALL patients who seek for his help or only those who could PAY him?
Really disappointed with him. I was his old timer patient when he first started his clinic with barry.
Back then when i seen him, he wasnt too gonstead as he called himself to be. I asked if he needed an x ray , he said nothing needed as he alrdy has the nervoscope with palpation he can fix it alrdy and after 3 months only take an x ray to see if it gets better. And i was wondering is tis pure gonstead? And if i were to only take my scan 3 months later how would i be able to compare d before n after results?
And i did email dr ian to confirm if gonstead dont need x ray for chronic case as mine was chronic since young i had the pain for more than 20 yrs. i was told x ray will be needed in chronic severe cases, where nervoscope would then be used to assist together with palpation for confirmation before any adjustment were to be performed. With these + his egoistic character not being able to accept d facts being negative . Only wanting to listen to good feedback which of coz i did gave him when he really helped me with my back. I stopped the moment he put d blame back to me for not going for frequent adjustments; as i was down with dengue back then so i missed a few weeks of the sessions with him.
On my note when i checked back, out of 10 sessions i only felt good twice. So tis time when i go back for acute sprained / twist he refused to check me only ask his staff kit to check me then straight away offered me packages, which of coz i refused!
