Beaverton Family Chiropractic PC

While I’m sure that Dr. Dan has helped a lot of people (the testimonials are in the waiting area), I won’t be back to take advantage of that. I met Dr. Dan and some of his staff at the Beaverton Community Expo, and I signed up (and paid for) a visit (new patient appointments are limited and not very convenient). I was told that I might also have to have x-​Rays fine and those would be offered at a 60% discount, or $ 40. I told him that I had gotten good results win chiropractic and massage together, but with my current chiropractor, I had to pay separate co-​pays. He said «we do it all out of the same office.» I filled out the volumes of paperwork and went to the office. The first thing I noticed was that people were walking around the office with things on their heads. There were chairs set up with exercise ball-​like things on them. Apparently, this is how everyone does their therapy before the adjustment happens. Everyone. In front of everybody. If that wasn’t bad enough, an «informative» marketing video runs the whole time.
Dr. Dan did explain how the body all worked together and how being out of alignment could affect the other workings of the body. He took the x-​Rays, did some poking and prodding, and said that if need to schedule an appointment to go over the «doctor’s report», and that I would get my first adjustment the next day. Nothin was done to relieve the pain that I had. He also said that he’d schedule an appointment for 2 days later so that me and my husband could come and talk about the treatment plan. I thought it was a little odd to have my husband there, but I found that out a little later on. I told the office manager that I couldn’t do the next visit. I don’t have insurance and I’m just not able to do it right now (I had told them this at the Expo). I also asked her if they had massage there… they do NOT.
So basically, I was told that I was going to get what I wanted, but instead I spent an hour and a half getting poked on, leaving me more in pain than I started with. What’s worse is that I talked to another patient outside the office and found that the reason for the visit with both me and my husband is that you have to sign a contract for the care and pay in ADVANCE. They are out of network for all plans, so you’re not getting much of a break.
The office staff is nice, but the organization is clearly about making money first, and patient care and concerns SECOND.

I started coming here after a recent car accident, having heard wonderful things about the practice from family members. I went to the office the day of my car accident, and it’s safe to say I was an emotional wreck. Everyone at the office was extremely welcoming, and very understanding of my situation. After dealing with logistics of what happened all day, it was great to be around people who didn’t keep asking me what happened, and didn’t want to crunch numbers. I was given an initial exam, and Dr. Dan took the time to explain to me how the bones in your spine can affect your health and life in many different ways. We created a recovery plan, and I came back the next day for my first adjustment. Dr. Dan explained a bit more about the chiropractic practice, and helped me understand exactly what my visits would be like. The adjustment was quick and painless, and I felt much better afterwards. I have been seeing him for a couple of weeks now, and my condition has definitely improved. I can sleep better, move better, and breathe better overall. I look forward to each adjustment. It is always a pleasure to meet with Dr. Dan, and see the lovely receptionist, Marla, who always helps you to feel comfortable. I will continue to visit Beaverton Family Chiropractic even after Geico stops covering my healthcare. This place deserves 5 stars without a doubt in my mind.
