First, the pros: the chiropractor is very knowledgeable and wants to make a permanent difference for you. If you want to understand your problem completely, its important to understand how it affects your entire body. Problems in your neck can affect everything from how you walk to your posture. I wasnt in any pain from anything the chiropractor did. The staff is friendly, making an appointment is super easy, and I didnt even need pain medication after being adjusted like I usually do. The cons: the reason Im only leaving two stars isnt because of one specific issue but because of multiple things that added up to my decision to no longer continue to go back. Firstly was the chiropractors attitude, which seemed more snarky and mean than what is acceptable in any type of health service. Theres a time and place for snark, and I can dish it right back, but when Im in pain and coming to you for help please treat me with respect. A couple comments he made made me a little uncomfortable. The other issues I had was the prices - the office has plenty of great equipment, but some of it seemed unnecessary which could be contributing to the costs. Also important to note is that the way my neck was straightened could have come from anything from an accident to degenerative disc disease, and x-rays alone (regardless of whether its a video x-ray or not) do not show enough detail to tell if chiropracture is actually safe for you. When I showed my x-ray to my doctor, my doctor asked why I continued to see a chiropractor without getting clearance from him first. I needed an MRI of my neck to make sure my discs were okay before continuing. I did get clearance to see a chiropractor after that, but have chosen to go elsewhere.

Worst chiropractor I have been to and definitely not a "quick fix". Mr. Feier barely asked me about my pain and he spent pretty much the whole session pointing at charts and telling me what a normal neck should look like. I specifically asked for a quick fix when making the appointment, still he wanted me to come regularly the next two months. It became very obvious that he was desperate for regular customers. I have successfully gotten rid of minor cricks in my neck a few times before in other places. This time, not only did my exciting crick remain unchanged, I got a new one making it very painful to turn my head. If you have minor problems with your neck or or just want a quick fix, stay away from this place. I am positive that I am not the only one who has had a bad experience here.

Dr. Feier is the best chiro Ive ever been to (among 4 over last 5 yrs). Doc makes it a point to educate his patients in how a specific injury may affect the whole body. And he works out payment options for those with and without insurance. youll learn how the body works and relies on the proper alignment of all its components. Most people suffer from poor alignment simply because theyve been compensating a weak or injured area by over taxing another. Chiropractic is a lifestyle, just as is exercising. The presence of pain isnt the only time we can benefit from improving our alignment. Pain is actually a late stage sign that the body has a problem. Get well and stay well. This doctor has really opened my eyes to better health.

Very $$$, yes, standard xray scam bit of a rip-off - my first appointment cost me almost $200 (no insurance), but the guy did the job properly. Unfortunately most people dont understand the difference between Physiotherapy, Chyropractics, Biokenetics etc. Everyone treats them like a magic once-off wonder-solution. I was crippled for 2 years, and have done lots of various therapy, and can now run again. Only YOU really understand your problem, so you need to gain as much knowledge of how each specialist can help you and your problem, and make the best decision according to what your body needs, not the best sales-talk or cost effective measure.

Ive struggled to find a quality chiropractor in DC since moving here almost 5 years ago, so I was so glad to finally find Dr. Feier. He is actually helping my neck alignment issues, rather than just doing a temporary fix that helped for a day or two like my two previous chiropractors did. My constant headaches and horrible neck pain started to feel better after just a few visits, but I know that it will take time to achieve lasting results -- and thats okay!

The Doctor Chiropractor here known sometimes as Dr Goodback is so awesome! He is very knowledgeable with the state- of- the- art Equipment. My adjustments have been the best every since coming here. The office is clean the staff is friendly and professional. Parking is very easy on side streets.

After having been to several Chiropractors over the past 10 years, Dr. Feier is by far the best. He has set me on a path to long time health and healing where others said there was no way to fix what was ailing me other than to come intensively and expensively...

Wont go again. For a plain pain in the neck, he took x-ray, charged a huge amount of $$ (thank God, my insurance covered it!), and wanted me to spend months of therapy. Went to another one, the pain is gone. All fine!

Dr. Feier restored the natural curve of my neck. My pinched nerve pain is now gone. Ariunaa is excellent, too.
