I was referred to Chris Serafini D.C, by my massage therapist after he watched me going through two agonizing problems. We were rear ended on the 202 on Dec. 23, 2014, us being at a complete stop, by a man who hit us doing 65 MPH. Then to top it all off in August of 2015, I had surgery on my toe which got seriously infected causing severe nerve damage. My personal physician referred me into the Phoenix Suns Podiatrist for a second opinion in December of 2015, my toe being swollen twice its normal size, (stabbing pain every time my heart beat), still five months after surgery. That doctor explained to me that I had neuropathy writing me a prescription for Lyrica, which ran $1,100.00 for a three month supply. Thank God that my massage therapist had explained to me that he dropped a 150 pound weight on his big toe in the gym and he had Cold Laser Therapy performed by Valley Spinal Care. I immediately contacted Dr. Serafini and made an appointment the laser treatment on my toe took away 60% of the pain within 3 visits. I have since been to approximately 12 visits and my pain level on the toe is minimal I would say 95% better. I am no longer taking Lyrica. Dr. Serafini has also been working on my neck which has severe disk problems now and I am making progress in that department also. Dr. Serafini is a wonderful person with a great personality and is very concerned with his patient progress, his office staff is superb and his massage therapist Brian is great to work with also. My recommendation for Dr. Serafini and his staff is well deserved and I have already referred customers to him which he is seeing now. Thank you Dr. Serafini! Sincerely, Richard K.

I was referred to Dr. Chris after 26 years of dealing with chronic pain due to 7 different things diagnosed as being wrong with my back and neck. I had already tried physical therapy, acupuncture, trigger point injections, Botox and spinal injections, pain patches, pain meds and even considered surgery over the years, but nothing seemed to help. I had been to a traditional chiropractor years ago, but I had not had any relief, in fact, I had developed a fear of chiropractors because of my experience. Adding yoga and other forms of exercise as well as massage therapy along with certain pain meds did help somewhat, but I still struggled with pain each day. Finally, my massage therapist referred me to her chiropractor… Dr. Chris. She said he was “different” than the traditional chiropractor. I read about his approach ( Brimhall’s Steps to Wellness and the Gonstead Technique ) and decided to give him a try. I’m glad I did! Within a short amount of time, I began to feel improvement. I began to feel relief for a couple of days, then a few days, then for a matter of weeks. I couldn’t believe that Dr. Chris’ work on my scar tissue and his focus on some of my other issues could have such a positive impact on how I felt! I never thought I could feel this good!!!!! Dr. Chris and his staff are genuine Wellness facilitators...they are professional and truly caring. They go "above and beyond" on a consistent basis. I am so in awe of what Dr. Chris has done for me that I have referred friends and family to him. They also have had a positive experience. Thank you Dr. Chris! I can’t tell you how much you have changed my life. I am forever grateful! Hillary

I have had a terrible back for roughly five years and had just about given up hope on ever getting better and living my dream of playing college basketball. After countless physical therapists and chiropractors that made no change, I stopped wasting my money. Then a family member told me about this "chiropractor" that isnt just a chiropractor. They told me he takes an outside the box approach to your injuries/ailments (even using laser technology used on pro athletes) and was unlike anyone I had before. I figured I would humor them and make them happy so I went. Driving 10 minutes down the street to Dr. Chris was the best decision Ive ever made! I went from not being able to stand, sit, or walk for more than 10 minutes at a time to being able to complete full basketball workouts and have a tryout for ASU before this years season starts. Will I make the team? Ill have to wait and see, but I never could have even had the opportunity if it werent for this wonderful medical team!

I was very pessimistic about going to a chiropractor. However, after failing to find relief from the "traditional" doctors for my migraines and being one step away from a nerve ablation I decided to try out Dr. Chris after he made a presentation at my work place. I was getting up to 3 migraines a month (at my worst). After 3 months of treatment from Dr. Chris Ive had 1 migraine (at about 1.5 months in from beginning treatment). Im very excited to have seen the results that I did. Im glad I made the choice to have Dr. Chris work on me. I did have some issues dealing with the billing staff when it came to them dealing with my insurance company and setting expectations for what they said was covered costs & what was out of pocket costs. This being the only reason why I did not rate an excellent. It all worked out in the end however, and as I said before, I am glad that I had Dr. Chris perform the work on me that he did.

I completely disagree with Doreen Ls statement!! Dr Chris has bent over backwards to help my family and find solutions to all 4 of my family members to be able to be treated! Dr Chris adjusted my newborn twins when they were 5 days old and came to me, as I was unable to come to see him at the time. He is SO knowledgeable and precise on his treatments, I believe he is the ONLY chiropractor in town that can heal your aches and ailments and KEEP you pain free. Other chiropractors do unnecessary adjustments, which dont hold, and will leave you needing to go back again and again. Dr Chris form of treatment will help your adjustments last and improve many other aspects of your health and wellness. No other doctor is as thorough and so invested in your overall health and that is PRICELESS. He is worth every penny and as far from "money hungry" as a person can get.

I WANT MY MONEY BACK. yes, $1,200.00 that I had to pay because I was lied to about the number of adjustments Medicare pays. A breach of contract that states"when we know or believe that your chiropractic adjustment is no longer covered.we will discuss this matter with you". All of my adjustments were for corrective care...NOT MAINTENANCE I believe obtaining my signature by deception is against the law. Thankfully, I am now under the care of a chiropractor that is honest, adjusts the entire spine(not one subluxation at a time), doesnt try to sell me unneeded services or supplements and is NOT MONEY HUNGRY. I have had over 80 (eighty) corrective adjustments and Medicare has paid for all of them and Im feeling great.

Dr. Christopher Serafini is the BEST of the BEST. I have been to many other doctors who were chiropractors but never have had the results I got from Dr Chris Serafine. Seeing the xrays of my lower back and neck and how they needed treatment, after 20 years of running an office and sitting in front of a computer was an eye opener for me. I am amazed at how much better I feel. I do deep water and shallow water aerobics on a regular basis and now with a greater ease. He truly changed my life for the better. He takes the time to discuss your condition thoroughly makes sure you understand what will be accomplished with the treatments. He has a wonderful staff that will bend over backwards to help in anyway they can.
