Dr. Reid is amazing! I instantly fell in love with her welcoming personality and genuine concern for my well being! Not only that, but the results in just a few visits are what’s truly amazing about my experience! No other doctor has been so observant to every little detail with a depth of knowledge and the the ability to make connections to solve problems that I didn’t even know I had!
I feel 1000 times better! I would highly recommend a visit to Dr. Reid to anyone for at least a wellness check up. I’ve seen other chiropractors that use ridiculously fancy exercise machines and overly high tech x-​ray analysis that never came close to the results I’ve seen in two weeks with Dr. Reid! Dr. Reid explains everything with easy to understand examples and demonstrations. I really can’t say enough great things! Extremely happy with my experience!

I came to this place one time and will never return. Upon coming into the office I was greeted by two separate young ladies at the front desk, one was so into the computer and typing she seemed to barely notice me. She did provide excellent explanations on my insurance once her attention was actually on my presence and not between flipping through papers, picking up the phone and helping other patients. The other had a visible attitude and was chewing gum that I could hear her from the waiting area. I completed the paperwork and was taken back by the same lady chewing gum to have my weight and blood pressure taken. As I glanced around I could notice that this place needed a serious upgrade. From the boring décor, to the very small rooms I did not feel their office was inviting. The office also smelled of cigarettes and marijuana. I was taken back to the see the doctor and noticed a screen to read/​view xrays but was told by the front desk that they did not perform xrays and I would need to be referred to another facility. My treatment was somewhat mediocre. I feel as though all the basis of my treatment were not covered not to mention, he even stopped my treatment to take a personal call, HOW RUDE. I will say I did leave with some relief but the overall atmosphere of the office is not one I wish to continue to attend. After my initial visit I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you were desperate.

I call Dr. Jenkins a miracle worker! I came in with TMJ/​lockjaw so bad I was in tears. I could barely open my mouth to drink coffee at this point, and after regular visits for only three to four weeks, I was back to normal. Dr. Jenkins is genuinely concerned about his patients, clearly explains the problem as well as the solution and is thorough in his services, making sure you are completely set before ending visits. It was also very easy to book appointments, even at the last minute, and I never had to wait in the lobby for more than five minutes (no wait at all 99% of the time). Highest recommendations for Dr. Jenkins (and Dr. Reid, who observed and assisted in care multiple times)!

Dr. Jenkins is incredible! One piece of advice, wear flip flops. He really helped me with some severe back pain, but I always wore tennis shoes to appointments because I wasn’t having any ankle/​foot pain. One day I wore flip flops and he saw issues with my feet I didn’t even know I had! Again miracles were worked and I feel much more balanced.

Love Paradigm! I’m working with Dr. Reid right now (not listed on their website) and really enjoy her. She has a great, quirky bedside manner. I really appreciate how she listens to me and repeats back to make sure she’s heard me correctly — I feel like we’re actually working together instead of her just imposing treatment on me.
This is my first time using a chiropractor and I’m impressed with the results I can immediately see. We’re currently trying to realign my jaw, which is a pretty subtle adjustment and will take some work, but it would make a huge difference for my jaw pain.

Dr. Jenkins hands are magic!!! Thank you again sir!!! I don’t know how you do it but you always leave me feeling 1000 times better. Highly recommended!

Dr. Jenkins has helped me overcome migraines and neck pain. He is truly professional and is great, caring guy on top of it!

Dr. Jenkins and his staff took great care of me when I was involved in my MVC. He is so nice and pays great attention to your needs. He takes his time with his patients. Definitely worth going to! The only thing I wish they offered were xrays. If they offered xrays, I would give them 5 stars.

Have not tried this place but was surprised after reading all the positive reviews that they dont offer xrays, a crucial component re. diagnosis. The first visit is $ 95 and you are given a script for an xray — meaning that you have to put the additional time and expense in to complete the diagnosis. Other places I have called so far include xrays and cost less. By all means this place might be terrific in the long run but I am discouraged as a first timer for the reasons outlined

My treatment experience at Paradigm was my time using a chiropractor. I immediately began seeing results with Dr. Jenkins. He always listened and patiently helped me with the areas I brought up at each visit. Today I am happy to say I no longer experience pain and only return on an as needed basis. I highly recommended Dr Jenkins.

This was my first visit to a chiropractor. I was at my wits end, not knowing what to do with pain in my back and hip, after having been given the brush off by other medical practitioners. Dr. Jenkins came highly recommended to me by friends I trust, and he lived up to the expectations. The first positive experience was the most pleasant and extremely efficient office staff. The second was Dr. Jenkins himself. He is thorough and thoughtful in his approach and is more than willing to answer all of my questions with the intent of teaching and informing me about the procedures. He is pleasant and professional. The most important: I have found relief whereas before I was popping pain meds.

Dr. Jenkins is a true professional and has been instrumental in helping me to work through an old dance injury. He truly cares about his patients and ensures that each of us receives the utmost care every time we visit his practice.

This review is long overdue! I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while now.
I owe Dr. Jenkins and his staff a big note of THANKS! I have been coming to his office for several months and have seen nothing but steady, continued progress and improvement from back issues and pain –stemming from years of physical fitness activity and my work-​related environment.
I have been an avid fitness enthusiast and athlete for most of my life. I also happen to have once been a fitness instructor /​trainer for several years. And much like many of my fitness peers, we think we know it all or can heal ourselves when it comes to common injuries and pain. You name it, I have had many athletic sprains, injuries, knots, and pain in the past. Many of which I was able to resolve on my own. However, my latest issues were causing significant back pain and becoming problematic for me to the point where even simple daily tasks were difficult. And, my gym workouts and exercise frequency was little to none. I knew I needed a professional to help me out.
Enter in Paradigm Chiropractic & Performance. After a year of dealing with back pain, limited range of motion, tension headaches, and lessen gym activity… something had to give. Upon the first visit to Dr. Jenkins office and his very first evaluation of my issues… I knew he was very knowledgeable and experienced in sports performance /​work related injuries. He listened intently and assessed my problem accurately; without me steering the evaluation or mentioning conclusions made by previous Chiropractors in the past… and believe me there have been many over the years! In addition, he identified and honed in on another problem (posture alignment –foot related) that was compounding my issues and causing severe foot pain; which I knew of but did not mention to him at all! This is when you know you’ve found the right person for the sake of your individual health and wellness team.
In a nutshell, we discussed a plan of action comprised of several visits. I stayed the course and remained patient under his guidance and treatment sessions… and now, I can say I am just about at 100% again and my gym workouts are back on par!
A significant degree of the pain that I was dealing with was eliminated during the first and second visit. I have seen nothing but steady progress since.
I highly recommend Dr. Jenkins! He is a constant pro right off the bat. Not only does he treat your pain, he educates you along the way. He is approachable, honest in his opinions, and eagerly answers any questions, fears or concerns you might have about chiropractic care. His staff is professional and friendly too. They are very accommodating and flexible… to say the least to my often… tardiness or schedule conflicts. lol
Making the investment in the expertise of Dr. Jenkins and Paradigm Chiropractic & Performance was one of the best decisions made toward my overall well-​being and health!

Typical DC chiropractor! A waste of money! You ask why? First they waste your time with initial diagnostic where the doc is going to tell you what is wrong and what they need to do to fix you. Then they tell you it will be lengthy process and then they put you on stim, drop table and tell you to heat. Here is the best part of it. Wait for it. It is going to take several weeks or more to fix, you will need to come in twice a week and after your first appointment you will not feel any better but a lot poorer. Check out other places and look around as you will find someone who cares. We did and he is wonderful.

I had been having hip, groin and butt pain for more than three years. Spent months doing physical therapy, which didn’t help at all. Cortisone shots helped but only temporarily. Diagnosis — bursitis. I told my yoga instructor, Paul, about my issue and he suggested Dr. Jenkins. I went to see him and he examined me and found my hips, pubic bone and pelvis out of alignment causing the pain. After the first treatment I felt better. I provided him with previous xrays and he is the first and only doctor that reviewed them with me. Even a lay person could see that one hip was higher than the other. I have also been recently treated for foot pain and was contemplating surgery… well his alignments have helped with that too. I can now run two miles without having to stop because my feet hurt so bad. It goes to show that our body is all connected and fixing one component at a time may not be the thing to do… He also has a great bedside manner and explains everything is going to do and why.
Bottom line is that I feel like a new person. I was taking Aleve every day, twice a day and now I am rarely taking it. Oh, and yoga is easier now too! Thanks Dr. Jenkins!
Also, he has a wonderful, friendly office staff. Automated appointment reminders by computer and phone. I also highly recommend the massage therapist, Ray. He also has a keen understanding of body mechanics and the two of them work well together. I was thrilled to find that Ray was now working for Dr. Jenkins as I have had massage from him in the past in salons around the neighborhood and temporarily lost track of him.

I’m going to bet all the former reviews are all fiends of Dr. Jenkins. This is the worst chiropractor I’ve been to in my life. Old dilapidated office combined with an incompetent medical assistant. You remember those old thermometers where your school nurse would place it into a wax paper sheath, then tear off the outside wax paper where the plastic wrap is underneath? Yea, the assistant insisted that I put the thermometer under my tongue with the wax paper on it. I actually had to tear it off for her to show her how to do it. Secondly, Dr. Jenkins was making bogus adjustments on my ribs by using a small rubber mallet. I shared this with several chiropractors in the DC area, and they said they’re ashamed of what some chiropractors try to pull off.
The only reason this is one star is that he does give your back a good pop/​adjustment, but other than that, there are so many good ones in town to go to that are right by the metro.

After nearly three years with my former chiropractor, I wanted longer term relief. Dr. Jenkins has proven to be a good recommendation. He has brought relief to my lower back condition by diagnosing and treating other contributing factors. He adeptly identified misalgnments that I didn’t even tell him about, and taken care to remediate those problems, too. Dr. J has an easy going manner, and is thorough in his treatment. He is deserving of my recommendation!

AMAZING. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Jenkins. I’d never gone to a chiropractor before and was so so so impressed. He has such a lovely presence, and clearly knows what he is doing. So thoughtful and respectful. Can’t recommend high enough!

Simply put, I love Dr. Jenkins! He not only knows what he is doing, but puts you right at ease, engages you in your treatment and explains everything in as much detail as you want. This is the third chiropractor I have been to over the years, and hands-​down, Dr. Jenkins is my favorite!
I really appreciate that he treats your «whole self» — not just your back and neck; his deep knowledge of the entire body, including joints, muscles and nerves means that you are in good hands from head-​to-​toe. And while his immediate goal is to focus on what you came in for, he keeps the big picture in mind and works toward your overall wellness and optimal function.
I am amazed at the strength and flexibility, not to mention decrease in pain, I have seen in both knees since going to Dr. Jenkins. Does my back feel better? Yes. Neck? Yes. But the difference in my knees and ankle is amazing. Truly. I always leave the office feeling good inside and out, which is a rarity in today’s over-​scheduled, rushed health care field.
Of course, his easy-​going manner and charm are a huge part of that good feeling. (Um, and the water table in the back and music mixes in the treatment room don’t hurt, either!) So if you want a real person who cares about you and your health, and a place that treats you like an individual and not just a number, make your appointment with Paradigm Chiropractic today.

Dr. Jenkins is incredible. Forget everything you think you know about chiropractors. Think instead of a gentle magician who takes a holistic approach to your overall healing. His approach to adjustments is unique and through them he has been able to resolve long standing issues in my neck and back.
Appointments begin on time, and he quickly and effectively puts your body back in place. He listens to your concerns and addresses them and also *corrects issues you had no idea you had*! But once they’re fixed you leave his office feeling as if you’re floating!
Dr. Jenkins also thinks critically about the interconnectedness of the body’s systems which is why he was able to figure out the connection between of a bunch of health issues I was having. A connection that had eluded a team of doctors for many months (neurologist, rheumatologist, sleep specialist, GI, ENT, dermatologist and primary care).
I can’t emphasize enough how fantastic I think he is and how happy I’m sure you’ll be if you become his patient.
