Vision Chiropractic

Super sketch!
We had a health fair at my work. While there I saw a booth for back and nerve measurement. Did the measurement and the guy offers a deal– pay him at the fair $ 20 and he gives me a certificate that is good for a full exam and x-​rays and follow up. I know x-​rays alone tend to be expensive so I figure what the hell and go for it.
I have the receipt from Square still.
I took the certificate and made an appointment.
Then I went to the appointment.
Yikes.
I took my girl along and one thing that she pointed out right away, was how quickly people were coming and going.
Filling out the insurance forms took quite a bit. I wasn’t really sure why I needed to fill them out in the first place, since I had paid $ 20 for the all-​inclusive exam/​x-​ray/​evaluation certificate, but anyway I did as I was asked.
I gave them my provider information and social, and they couldn’t find me for some reason. so I had to call and sit on the phone with the insurance (I accidentally called the provider’s line) and try to get them to give me and the office staff (which was the mom and her two minor children) my info.
While I was doing this, there were people coming and going like mad. Literally people were there for as little as 3 to 5 minutes. I didn’t think anything of it, because I was preoccupied, but my girl (she’s much smarter than I) pointed out, what can they possibly be doing in that short amount of time?
Maybe he is a super good chiro, or he has a bunch of assistants doing the work, or people don’t really need anything special done and it’s just a come in and give me your money kind of a deal. If I had paid $ 50 for a 5 minute office visit I’d be pretty taken aback… anyway, that’s not the worst of it.
Before the exam, I was given some reading material. Felt like I was being propagandized. Like «here see and read this to prove that we’re not charlatans and you actually need a chiropractor» kind of feeling. Eventually I was given an oral quiz on what I understood. Weirdest experience I’ve had at a doctor’s office…
The exam itself was ok. He seemed to know what he was talking about. Took some x-​rays and talked a little bit about work and spine/​back/​treatment, etc. etc. Left with mixed feelings. My girl thought it was kind of sketch I thought it was kind of sketch too but as far as the exam it was thorough and seems like they know what they’re doing.
Then comes the shady part.
I get home and just randomly decided to start looking at reviews. Yikes. Not many reviews and the few there were just confirmed what I saw and felt. You can read them for yourself. Also checked out the «Not recommended» reviews. I always check those.
I started to feel uneasy about returning, and then they started calling me like I was their only freaking customer! Calls from the office back to back; I explained to them I had to go out of town and would get back with them– then more calls from the office, then pushy insistent calls. When I get back, calls from their personal cell phone (so I didn’t recognize the number?). even more pushy, insistent, «I have a sense of duty as a medical practitioner» blah blah blah type calls… totally weirded me out and at that point I’m done with them. You know what I paid the $ 20 for the cert, got the exam and x-​rays, if I don’t go to the evaluation no big deal they got my $ 20 I’ll do my homework first next time. Or better yet, I’ll get a referral from my doctor…
Thought that was the end of it. But I guess they couldn’t take «no» or «I already paid $ 20 for your cert that covers this and didn’t even use everything it covered, so we should be square» for an answer.
Instead, almost three months later, I get a statement from my insurance company.
They billed my insurance for the exam and the x-​rays.
Full price.
After I paid for them.
Using their promotion.
What the fuck?
This sounds completely like insurance fraud to me. I’m going to contact my benefits coordinator at work and see if they can do this because it doesn’t sound right in the least.
Be extremely wary of this place! Avoid like the plague.

No stars. This company solicits clients through events, my son’s exam was solicted through Oktoberfest, and then and tries to convince you to sign up for a year of treatments at a discounted rate. I told them no I would not agree to any service for my adult son that was not covered under his insurance and I made this clear several times. They told me he was insured and kept telling my adult disabled son that his insurance was coninuing to cover him over a 4 month period. I paid his copays for him. They called me yesterday and told me that they made a mistake he is not insured and I have to pay the rest, that they had been accepting payments from the insurance for a man with the same same name and a different birthday tha live in Colorado. His DOB is on the card we provided them and is correct in the insurance system, either they really made an big error and either comitted insurance fraud or they have been lying to me the whole time to ge him to come in for treatments. The Doctor admits that I made it clear to him on several occassions I did not and would not approve or pay for any treatments not covered by insurance. Stay clear of tis place, if they can’t convince you to pay for their service out of pocket they wlll lie and tell you, you are covered by insurance and months into the service tell you oops we mader a mistake you owe us 600 dollars more due to our neglect and dishonsty.

My husband works construction and really needed chiropractic care and let me tell you, it’s working great and he’s already showing such an improvement! The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. I don’t understand why the ratings are so bad! My guess is that the person who left the one star review probably signed up for a plan and didn’t honor their agreement so take their review with a grain of salt. In no way are you OBLIGATED to sign up but if you are someone who needs corrective care, like my husband, of course they are going to encourage you to choose a plan because it ensures them of your future business and it HELPS YOU and your wallet. Don’t let 2 bad reviews from a few years ago impact your decision to at least check this place out and see if it works for you.

To a certain degree I agree with the previous person. However they are very thorough with the exam and gave me free x-​Rays. I was somewhat satisified with my adjustments.
However they do want you to lock into a year contract that will bring your cost down to something like $ 25 a visit. But do you plan on needing adjustments once a week for a year? As i remember once you go thru the one year contract you will have a permanent rate with no contract. This might be good for some, but not me, so I declined to go with their one year contract.
You might contact them and ask some questions regarding their terms and rates, but they might want you to come in first.

No stars. This company solicits clients through events and convinces them to sign up for a year of treatments at a discounted rate without a trial service. Once you are locked into the contract, whether you like the treatment or not, you’re bound to the contract or must pay full price for your treatments. They are incredibly pushy and not at all helpful. Having been to multiple chiropractors, I know that the difference between a good practicioner and a bad one… this is definitely the latter.
