Dr Dorothy Dalton

Dr. Dalton has been my Chiropractor for many years. Not only is she professional and friendly, she consistently makes me feel better and has excellent advice on how I can improve my health.

I walked into Dr. Dalton apprehensive and in HORRIBLE pain. For three years after my car accident, I have tried acupuncture, physical therapy, massage and Rx. and I found no relief for my pain. I left the office in tears of joy because my constant pain ENDED. She change my life. I owe my life to this doctor for giving me my life back.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Dalton for 5 years. She is professional, patient, really listens, and the core of her practice is to try to identify and resolve the root cause — not just pop & crack and send you on your way. Based on what I say or what she finds, she often asks if I am experiencing this or that *other* symptom that I wouldn’t have thought to mention, that ties in to my current issue. She also explains how things are related, and how this causes that, seeking to educate, again, not just trying to pop & crack.
For any ongoing issue, she will also assign «homework» to help rehab myself, things I can do for maintenance to avoid having to see her in the first place. When I have had a persistent complaint, she kept trying different things, asking different questions, having me try different exercises — she never gives up trying to find the root of the problem.
I really can’t count them number of people I have recommended to her, and of those who went, they always came back with an effusive THANK YOU for telling me about her! She is completely professional, welcoming and friendly, and even when her office is full of people who (like me, occasionally) begged to be squeezed into her tight schedule, she never makes you feel like she is rushing you off so she can get to the next patient.
And her office staff? Outstanding, friendly, helpful, never come across stressed or frazzled… following her example.
Oops…now that I’ve told everyone, I hope I can still get into the schedule when I need to!

So, I just spent 30 minutes recovering the password for my Unilocal account and writing up my first and only negative review in Unilocal.Normally, I wouldn’t go this far to rant about a bad service, but after my meeting with Dr. Dorothy Dalton, I was so miserable that I feel compelled to do this.
My first interaction with Dr. Dalton became immediately sour when she questioned – and harshly criticized– me as to why hadn’t fully completed the long and elaborate new patient form. While this is excusable to an extent, at the end of the visit, she (almost) threw the form and pen to me, saying in a very angry tone «Finish this form, if you don’t wanna give us the information, just write you do not wanna give the information … «However, the worst offense was when this doctor decided to ‘correct’ my pronunciation of the word ‘shoulder,’ by rudely cutting me off and yelling out «Shoulder!» At this point, I should explain that I am Asian, and while my enunciation may not be perfect, I have never been subject to this kind of treatment during my 12 years of residing –and working as a professional – in the U.S., and from a doctor no less. I could also just plainly feel her negativity and frustration permeate every moment of our conversation, through her tone and body language, and thinking about this visit still bothers me.
Perhaps this doctor was having an unusually bad day at work, just as we all do every now and then. But even if that’s the case, it does not justify such a gross lack of service quality and basic respect that one should expect from a healthcare professional.
I would give this doctor zero – or negative – stars if Unilocal had this function.

Been to Dr. Dalton twice in past 2 years. She is great. My wife went to her first and highly recommended her.

Do visit the wonderful and amazing Dr. Dorothy! She has an amazing ability to heal. I fell out of bed (yep, I really did!) and did some major damage to my spine. I hobbled in to her office at the suggestion of a colleague, after suffering for quite a while, and Dr. Dorothy helped me with chiropractic and without meds. Other docs were ready to give me myriad pain killers and physical therapy. Dr. Dorothy is a miracle worker. I HIGHLY recommend her. It also helps that her office staff is so caring and concerned.

After seeing several different specialists over a 3 year period, no one was able to help my daughters chronic pain. Diagnosis went from fibromyalgia to psychsymatic. I spent so much time and money. She even had to drop out of school due to pain. Dr. Dalton looked at her and knew just what was wrong. My daughter is virtually pain free after less than a month! She has a whole new life and is looking forward to college classes in the fall! Thank you!
