Meh. I was rear-ended last week and went to see Dr. Matt based upon a combo of being in network with my insurance, and great Yelp reviews. I'm not completely inexperienced with chiropractic therapy, but I haven't been a regular client either. I was a little taken aback by my experience. A really nice intern participated in my appointment, and Dr. Matt explained that she was in her final year of chiropractic school. All good.But then it got kind of weird because he used my appointment as a demo, training, and testing ground for the intern--quizzing her on the names of the various parts of my body that were ailing me, quizzing her on how to examine me, and how to treat me. He even went to the whiteboard. He kept telling her "I want to hear you say it!"  I felt more like a fly on a wall than the patient in the room. He also had her adjust me initially, and then he came in after with corrective feedback and readjustments to her not-quite-right adjustments. He was also quizzing me at various points, which, cool, I like to learn; but also... it felt more about showcasing his authority than focusing on my care. Mind you, though not badly injured, I was just involved in a car accident, and I started out my appointment by telling them that I saw an Ortho who thought chiropractic care was great, but discouraged any neck manipulation in my particular instance (to which he disagreed). I also iterated that I was especially nervous about neck adjustments. I was never asked if I was ok with an intern adjusting my spine or back--it just happened. The intern went first, and then the doctor followed up with corrections to her adjustments. Granted, nobody manipulated my neck (just my shoulders, back, lower spine), but overall, I felt more like a student, or demo dummy, than a legitimate patient. (Probably because I was using insurance.)I actually thought the combination of the rolling table, ice, and e-stim treatment were really helpful, but overall, it was an awkward appointment. Nobody ever discussed a treatment plan with me or indicated how long, or how many appointments they recommended. In fact, Dr. Matt took off after the lesson, and when I finished the e-stim, the intern just said "Come back next week and see how you feel."  Umm, ok. That was it.  It wasn't bad. But it definitely didn't feel like a doctor appointment.

Great staff, relaxed but professional. Facilities are rather plain but all the equipment for getting the job done right is there. Been to several chiropractors, happy to go back to this Dr. Matt. And parking is easy.
