Natomas Chiropractic

Dr. Symes is a straight-​up, laid back dude who helped me when my back was hurting. He explained everything that was happening with my back, reassured me that what he was going to do wouldn’t hurt.
I read some of the reviews prior to going and my experience was great. The office is low frills, but I appreciate utilitarian. My back is quickly getting better, and I would fully recommend this office.

This place is terrible!!! Unprofessional, dirty and smells bad in the building. Michael Symes ripped us off with a 5 minute session and basically said all you need to do is sleep different. I got robbed $ 75 in 10 minutes in total visit. When I called back he never answered the phone. And while we were there all he complained about was people calling and needing things. BRUH! You in the wrong business if you don’t wanna deal with people. DO NOT GO HERE!!! He doesn’t know shit about what he’s doing and just talks down to you making you feel stupid with his sarcasm.

Dr symes is amazing and explains what and why he does things, this gave me a better understanding and helped my comfort levels, i especially like that he had a fake spine to even show me!

Dr. Symes is a pleasant, easy-​going guy and his office is a good representation of his personality. No bells and whistles here. What I like about Dr. Symes is that he does a very good job of feeling where those sensitive spots are located. Then he pauses and thinks about the best approach for the adjustment (I’m amused by this behavior.) But it all comes down to the main reason I am there… to get my back in order. I’ve only been 3 times so far and he seems to read my body quite well without me saying much. He got some good cracks in my stiff and stubborn upper-​back which usually doesn’t «give» very much. I’d give him 4 stars if he had a pretty office with all the fixin’s, and another star on top of that if he had a front desk assistant. But so far I am pleased with my adjustments sans the «extras».

Yknow, the 2 guys here (chiropractor and massage therapist) are friendly, funny and have great personalities.
I got a quick massage, it was to die for.
I’ve been adjusted by Dr Mike dozens of times. For months. He’s great at what he does, and you can tell he has fun doing it. But I feel like he may appeal more to the medi-​cal, workmans comp, non insured demographic.
I started seeing him in October. He took my insurance information and asked if I had a co-​pay. I wasn’t sure. He told me not to worry about it and I should call my insurance. And that I should come in 2 – 3 times a week. I did this for several months. My insurance gave me an ambiguous explanation that I didn’t understand. I’m not an insurance billing expert.
Dr Mike never charged me for anything saying ‘ah don’t worry about it, I’m sure it’s fine. i really gotta call your insurance. I’m behind.’ when I repeatedly would say ‘I think I owe you money.‘
I started feeling better and coming in less and less frequently. My back started acting up after about a month and he adjusts me. Afterward, there were 3 – 4 people in the waiting area. He pulls me aside (still very much within earshot) and basically shows me some report and says that I owe him several hundred dollars.
WHAT???
I’m no thief. If I owe the money, I owe the money. But damn. He let me think everything was fine. It was VERY embarrassing, really unprofessional, and completely caught me off guard.
And then I got an explanation of benefits from my insurance company. He had literally submitted several months worth of claims on one day.
Homie needs an office assistant. He was constantly interrupted during my adjustments to answer the phone and greet a patient. And they need to put a wall up between the waiting area and the examination rooms. It’s all nearly completely open air, so everyone’s conversations can be overheard. Like my unfortunate «you owe me money» conversation.

Great Dr ! I couldn’t even stand up straight and he fixes me up. I’m pretty sure I found a keeper. He also has very reasonable price if you don’t have Insurence.
