Dr Francis is an excellent practitioner. Hes willing to work with his clients needs, and takes them seriously on an individual level. Your first couple visits are longer so you can build out a schedule to reconstruct your spinal, and muscular structures around your spine. That also includes hip alignment, neck adjustments and rib adjustments when necessary. Your visits, since well planned, are brief. Which is excellent. The Dr. can make the necessary adjustments within 5-10 minutes. Some people misunderand the brief visits as inconsideration, keep in nind however, that the Doctors obligation is to render service to our skeletal and muscular structures, not provide extended conversation. Francis is always cordial, with a sense of humor. At first dry, but when understood very friendly, very funny. The front desk ladies are extremely kind as well. Overall, Francis receives a 5 Star Rating, heres why: 1. Hes always prepared, cordial, brief and gets the job done right the first time. This gave him 1 Star. 2. His front desk assistants are always polite, and do their best to work around your needs. This gives 1 Star. 3. After just 2 months, my wife and I (both after car accidents) feel better than we have in years. Also, other medical professionals have commented on our improved alignment. This provides 3 Stars. In short, the experience from front desk, to laying on the table, to moving around afterwords, provides an overall "near perfect" experience. Hense 5 Stars. P.S. There is no logic bringing fault to a mans practice because your free medical coverage doesnt cover more than 10 annual visits. Charging a fair, and relatively lower rate, (when comparing practices) isnt greed, its a practical business necessity. My recent experience prior to Francis is that Chiropractic MDs charge an additional fee, above medicaid benefits, and some health insurances.

Since several bicycle injuries in college my neck and shoulders had often become stiff and extremely painful, and before I started chiropractic work, my lower back starting having problems as well. Ive been going to see Dr. Smith a little over a year now, and Ive had exceptional results. No more pain or stiffness, and my range of motion is basically full at this point. This past weekend I was water skiing and pulled something in my back. Chiropractic Works had me in on the morning of the next business day, and in five minutes Dr. Smith had me walking and bending without pain. And since I have a plan with them, the visit was free! How can you go wrong with that, right?

I like the treatment- I feel great when I leave. Dr. Paul Samuel is professional and knowledgeable. I agree, though, with the previous comment about how the office works: up-selling and trying to lock you into a plan is the norm. I had to be pretty firm about how many visits I could honestly afford and I am going to be vigilant about checking the amount of visits my insurance will cover before I go over (I have a feeling they may not warn me). Overall I do have good experiences, I just feel that the owner (Dr. Francis Smith) might want my money a bit too much.

This place is kind of ridiculous. They will not even look at you without xrays and an "exam" ($35 fee), which is basically a pro-chiropractic video and lecture about the benefits of "regular chiropractic maintenance." They are constantly selling. All of a sudden one visit for an adjustment turns into a 3-visit stint, and you are billed for each visit. This place is not cheap. They do decent work, but I hate it when I go to an office for treatment and all they want to do is sell sell sell.

I did not have a great experience here. The chiropractor and staff are nice but definitely I felt that they were trying to get more out of pocket from me instead of simply billing my insurance. I stopped going because I felt there was some billing dishonesty.

My teenage son and I have been coming for years and we both feel fantastic. Always a great adjustment. Thanks, Doc!
