Martin Von Iderstine, DC

After reading the 2 reviews on Google I was eager to try out Marty! He is a kind enough guy but the 2 stars are a result of the following. Up front with the cost as one reviewer posted? Yes, indeed he was. After he assessed my problem that is! He says, so your copay will be 25 dollars via cash or check, we do not accept debit or credit cards or any sort of plastic. This is a problem as flex savings account (FSA) pays my copays (but this is plastic.) He suggests I pay cash or have a bill mailed to me then get reimbursed from FSA account. He offers, ‘it’s up to you, you can find somewhere else or I can treat you.’ Considering we are tight on cash and I have 4 children under 7 at home (so not much free time) I decided I would rather see someone else than deal with reimbursement issue. Marty was incredibly friendly and open with the idea of me taking my business elsewhere, up to this point. Then he said, ‘well you will be billed for the assessment anyways so why not get treated? It’s up to you! no pressure, I’ll get paid the same regardless.’ After this, i was not the least bit inclined to let him treat me. I responded «No pressure? After you just told me you will bill me either way? I’ll find somewhere else to go.» He blitzed to the back of his office not to be seen again as I let myself out of the treatment room and building. Good business practice I say.
