Dr Carlomagno’s office is a broad spectrum, comprehensive full service health facility specializing in functional neurology, Antiaging/​gerriatric medecine, Pediatric care, sports medicine, rehab, personal injury, family care. Our focus is on enabling you to get the most performance out of your nervous system thru structural adjustments, nutrition, exercise, proper rest and fine tuning and upregulating attitude.
On the first visit we never guarantee that Ins Pays and have people call all the time to make appointments and they state they have Ins that covers and later we find out this isn’t the case. We therefore bill the patient our regualr fees upon first visit time of service and also bill the Ins Company’s and if it pays we refund the patient. In extenuating circumstances where patients make partial first payments and reneig on final payment we have a legal dept that handles these inappropriate matters. Fair to you fair to us! We strive to be too honest professional curteous and respectful of our patients delivering the finest care that evidence based care can offer without pharmaceuticals, surgury or alopathic care unless the condition is outside the scope of our Chiropractic practice.

I learned a lot through my one visit with Dr. Carlomagno at Summit Chiropractic in San Rafael, unfortunately it was not what I believe Mr. Carlomagno intended. I learned that regardless of what any health care service provider tells you it is your responsibility to know what your coverage entails in detail and not to rely on what they say to get you in the door! I also learned to pay at the beginning of a visit and not at the end.
Upon making my appointment I asked if he was a provider under my insurance plan. He said he was. I even called my provider and asked and was told yes that yes he was. Since this was my first visit using chiropractic care under this health plan, upon arrival I double checked and verified that I would only be paying my co-​pay that day. Mr. Carlomagno agreed.
The appointment lasted almost 90 minutes of which over an hour was devoted to «educating» me about the benefits of regular chiropractic care. At the end of the appointment I was handed a blank piece of paper with $ 200 written on it and was told that he was not covered under my plan after all and that I needed to pay right then.
I was shocked and called my insurance provider to discover he was not an «In Network» provider. Even though I was never told that x-​rays and the adjustment were extra I was liable for all the services he chose to provide during my visit. I attempted to pay, but when Mr. Carlomagno ran my payment there was an error, so I initially did not pay the full amount he was billing. I later wrote a letter asking that he honor our original agreement of only the co-​pay. The next letter I received was from a collections agency.
This was the first time and only time I have had this kind of experience with a health care provider. It was an expensive education.

I have been a patient of Dr. Carlomagno since 1989. He has helped me maintain my good health for many years. I continue to see him twice a month. I highly recommend him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Carlomagno’s since 1997. He «gets it» — that is, he understands wellness, treating the body in holistic ways, being an advocate for my health while trusting and listening to my input about my own body. Over the course of the 14+ years I have been a patient, Dr. Carlomagno has adjusted his style to meet my needs. For instance, I was in a horrible accident at one point and he adjusted around my injuries once I was well enough to return to chiropractic treatment. He is one of only a few trusted people I have added to my «Wellness Circle of Trust», and I recommend him highly.

I have been going to DR Kent since the 90s he has kept me pain free after many motorcycle crashes and injuries, He has treated me fairly and
has also given me great nutritional advise. I am impressed by his continuing interest in finding more ways to heal the body.
