I am a fitness competitor and was referred to Dr. Charbel a few months back for some extreme back pain I was experiencing while working out. I have always been fairly healthy and had never experienced any sports related injuries prior to this, so I literally had no idea what was happening to my body at the time and was concerned. The first thing I liked about Dr. Charbel was that he was willing to be extremely flexible with his schedule to fit me in at the last minute and that he was genuinely concerned about helping me with my pain as soon as possible. My first appointment was very informative and educational, with Dr. Charbel asking me a series of questions and putting me through a series of tests in order to take the time to explain to me exactly what it was I was suffering from rather than just "fixing" the problem and sending me on my way, like a lot of doctors tend to do. It was during this first session that I also noted he actually took more than our "alloted time" to show me extra exercises and things of that nature that I could do to prevent further injury in the future. I felt almost immediate relief after that first appointment and knew that I wanted to continue seeing Dr. Charbel until my pain was completely gone. At that time, I believed it would likely take 4-6 months, or maybe even longer, but to my surprise, it was really only after 3-4 visits I felt almost completely healed. What I really appreciated about Dr. Charbel each time I came in to see him was that my treatments would differ according to what he felt I needed at the time. There were visits with just Chiropractic adjustments, some with Acupuncture, some with the soft tissue massage, and some with different combinations of it all. Regardless, he made sure to review and analyze the status of my injury so that he knew exactly how to treat me that day. He would analyze my posture and how I was going about my "daily activities" such as bending over, picking things up, sitting down and getting up from a laying position because he knew that these were the little things that would ultimately effect me in the long term and he wanted me to be able to walk away pain free and remember these little things I could do for my future to KEEP me pain free! Dr. Charbels work is definitely unique and he is without a doubt the most caring, intelligent, and understanding doctor I have ever worked with. I never felt like I was "putting him out" by being there (like I often feel when I go to the doctors office), and it was always very clear to me that he genuinely wanted to help me get better. His treatments are far from any "cookie cutter" program that I believe a lot of doctors allow themselves to practice by - using the same treatment day in and day out for different patients who need DIFFERENT treatments! I will forever go back to Dr. Charbel with any injury or physically related concern I have, as well as highly recommend him to everyone who presents to me with any such problems of their own. His time, knowledge, expertise, and patience with my back healing is what has brought me to either win or place high in all the competitions I have participated in this year, and without him I could have never continued on in my dreams to be this physically fit and healthy.

Dr. Charbel is fantastic and is clearly passionate about his field. He holds himself to a high standard and is able to offer world class treatment to athletes competing at a professional level such as the NFL, MLB, and CrossFit; but also everyday common athletes that just want to live a healthy life. I had sharp pain in my glutes for almost a year and I was misinformed by other health professionals that I was still recovering from sciatica and a bulging disc. My condition had worsened so bad that I was unable to deadlift anything over 135 lbs. without a sharp pint hung pain in my backside. It was very frustrating because I like to participate in Olympic style weightlifting. It was also humbling because 135 lbs isnt exactly heavy for me. It was frustrated because I didnt know who to see or what to do. I was told by my friends and coaches to go see Charbel; and that if he couldnt find a solution given the experience and knowledge that he has, combined with the patients that he treats then nobody would be able to fix me. I scheduled an appointment for an assessment with Charbel and after only 5 minutes of me describing my problem he was able to come to the conclusion that Im a small percentage of people that hold their stress in their glutes as opposed to their upper back and shoulders. He recommended certain stretches, breathing exercises, combined with weekly acupuncture (dry needling) sessions and he would have me fixed up in about 9-10 sessions. Sure enough, he was right. Even after just the first 2 acupuncture sessions I was able to get back to the lifting platform and start training again. I only wish that I had seen Charbel sooner, then I wouldnt have had to take a 4 month hiatus from lifting. This man is a miracle worker and his front desk staff lead by Aimee are fantastic! I would recommend anyone to Charbel and his team, not just athletes.

I could not be more excited to share about the rehabilitation I received from Dr. Charbel. I was involved in a dog attack which took most of my hand function away from me. As a prominent business owner and an avid tennis and volleyball player/coach this was an extremely rough time for me. You never truly know how important something is to you until the power to use it is taken away. I was devastated! Thankfully I was referred to Dr. Charbel and I can truly say that my life has changed forever. The day that I met him we discussed all the details of my injury and I have to say that I instantly knew that I was in special hands. He has a gift of making you feel at ease and understand that everything will turn out positively. I had a fair amount of Post Traumatic Stress along with my injury and Im not sure how I would have made the full recovery I have without his daily guidance and care. I looked forward to my visits with him as I knew when I left his office that I would have more clarity mentally as well as proof that my injury was healing. I am proud to say that now that my treatment is complete, that I am back to my normal daily activities. I can play tennis and volleyball like I did before as well as care for my family and my personal pet clients. All of this occurred much faster than I could have ever anticipated. Dr. Charbel works very hard and does his homework everyday to know what each and every patient needs to heal efficiently. His goal for you as a patient is a full recovery and I am honored to have had his expertise. For that I am eternally grateful. I plan on using his other services in the near future. Thank you Dr. Charbel!
