I am a 29 year old with a lot of on-going physical and medical issues and have seen many doctors and specialists. I have been seeing Dr. Shaan Suleman for five plus years. He is by far one of the most competent, kind, knowledgeable, compassionate and hard working that I have ever experienced. It is very rare that you can find a doctor that combines all of his qualities. 1. He makes you feel important and cared for because he doesnt rush through any appointments. 2. He takes the time to explain everything that he is doing before, and while he does it, even if it isnt the first time youre having that treatment. 3. He is always learning new treatments and methods for managing pain and discomfort. 4. He only has you come in if its necessary. You never feel like he is just saying you need to come in every week so he can get paid. 5. He is very easy to schedule with, even if its last minute. His hours are set up where you can see him on your lunch break no matter what time it is, which is SO rare and awesome! 6. He has been able to help me get relief from my chronic pain, both immediately and long term. 7. When you are getting treatment by a machine, that doesnt require him to be in the room, he not only tells you to yell (its a small enough office that you dont have to actually yell) if you need him, but he also comes and checks on you a few times, just to make sure. 8. He has an incredible massage therapist that works in his office. He doesnt recommend that every patient go to see her (refer to #4) but when you are seeing both they discuss your treatment together, so you know you are getting exactly what you need. Two examples of him going above and beyond: He has called to check up on me, on more than one occasion, making me feel even more like a very cared for patient, rather than a paycheck. He even called in a favor to get me a same day, emergency MRI when he was very concerned about what was going on with me. I cant put into words how highly I recommend Dr. Suleman, or all of the wonderful things about him, or what all he has done for me, but those are some of the big highlights that I feel like everyone looks for. I highly recommend him and his massage therapist. I have sent multiple co-workers, family members and friends to see them and they all agree that he is amazing.

I started seeing Dr. Suleman back in 2014 when I was pregnant with my 3rd child and could barely walk due to horrific sciatic nerve pain. I was also trying to take care of my other children who were age 2 and younger and literally cried every day from the pain I was in. At times, I couldnt even walk with the excruciating pain shooting down my leg into my foot!! One of my friends recommend that I see Dr. Suleman. She raved about how much he had helped her, her father and other family members and friends, so even though I was nervous, scared and doubtful that he could help, I was at the end of my rope so I went ahead and made an appointment. As soon as I entered the office, I felt comfortable and at peace. He was extremely welcoming and kind. It was nice to see that he ran the office with his wife, who is the therapist. I realized quickly that he is very intelligent and knew exactly what to do to help me. He explained everything to me so that I understood completely what was going on. I didnt feel lost, rushed, confused or scared like I have at other practices. Within a few weeks I was able to walk without any pain and wasnt crying in agony when trying to care for my children. Per his recommendation, I also saw the massage therapist in the practice, who is absolutely incredible!! I just loved her upbeat and friendly personality, she was so easy to talk to! Fast forward to present day… I injured my lower back while shoveling snow. A few days later I went to pick up my 21 month old son and felt like someone stabbed me in the lower back with a burning knife. The pain was unreal! I was in a total panic because I recently started working again, as a fitness instructor, so besides the intense pain, I was terrified that I wouldnt be able to work. I was DEVESTATED. I went to see Dr. Suleman the very next day, and again, he knew exactly what to do and he also reassured me I would be okay, which was a huge comfort! After a few visits, and within a week, I was able to teach classes again! Two weeks later, I am feeling ZERO pain AND I am able care for my 3 small children without any issues!!! No words can express how THANKFUL and GRATEFUL I am to Dr. Suleman! You have been a saving grace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Suleman is a phenomenal chiropractor!!! After my car accident, I was in a lot of back and neck pain. Ive been in accident before so wasnt sure how long it would take me to recover once more. He was exactly who I needed to get me straight! He put my mind at ease from the moment I stepped in his office, ensuring me that I would be back to my normal self and activities very soon. The care he showed me was beyond just my doctor but also Dr. Suleman became my friend instantly giving me sound practical advice on how to alleviate my pain and the limitations in some of my activities I should take as precautions until Im feeling at least 90 -100% better. I followed all of Dr. Sulemans advice and Im so greatful I did. Dr. Suleman is also very understanding of how your schedule can change instantly and is very flexible in working out a schedule with you to get you in when you have availabilty. My profession is very fast pace with changing schedules all the time so I was elated that Dr. Suleman was always so understanding. Dr. Suleman is also a great teacher. Everytime I went to an appointment, it was always like I was back in school. He taught me regular exercises I could do to improve my posture and back/neck strength. He also educated me on the importance of cardio and fitness in maintaining the health of your back as I watched him give me a tutorials on spinal degenaration from models in his office. I also had a lot of stiffness in my back making it difficult to adjust so he set me up with his massage therapist, Terry. Shes also a phenomenal lady! I never had a massage before and every time I left my appointment with her, I felt so amazing!!! My stiffness and soreness was improving every visit. If youre looking for the best chiropractor in Alexandria, see Dr. Suleman. Youll be in the best care youve ever had!!

I was impressed with Dr. Suleman even before my first office visit. A close friend of mine had been raving about him for months and recommended him to me when I first considered going to a chiropractor for my neck issues. It took me several weeks to get up the nerve to call because I had never been to a chiropractor before and the idea of someone adjusting my neck made me nervous. By the time I got around to calling, I had decided on a whim to also mention my problems with vertigo – an issue I had been having for about a year and was desperate to overcome, but which had not improved despite many doctor visits and treatments. I initially had a phone consultation with Dr. Suleman and was immediately sold by his response, which made me feel like he was genuinely concerned about my issue and determined to get at the root of the problem. I was also sold and buoyed by his confidence that it could be resolved or at least greatly improved in only 3 visits!! There was no more hesitation after that. Now after only 2 visits, I am thrilled to report that my vertigo has significantly improved! And if that wasn’t enough, all of the glowing things my friend had said about him – how personable and knowledgeable he is (about everything!), his incredible bedside manner – I found it all to be 100% true! Finally, I really appreciated the fact that he explained everything he did before he did it, which went a long way toward easing my anxiety about getting adjusted for the first time.
