I made the right decision choosing this place for my spinal decompression over the other clinic in…read moreTampa that offers IDD treatment, because the chiropractor at that clinic is just... a terrible person compared to here. Trust me, I tested a lot with Dr. Pav before deciding to undergo treatment with her. She is more knowledgeable than even specialists in some cases, and staff here are nice! Due to my L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 issues, I wasn't able to sit for even one hour without experiencing 10/10 pain. I already had constant 4/10 pain from L3-S1 whenever I sat, which increased the longer I remained seated. On top of that, I sometimes experienced immediate sharp pain after long periods of sitting or certain movements, as the nerves around L3-L4 would get poked due to Cauda Equina involvement. After 32 sessions focusing on L3-L4, I can now sit about 2 hours and perform daily activities more easily than before. But note: this is a journey, not an instant fix. No doctor can make you 100% again after a herniated or damaged disc. You will still have limitations even after many treatments, but my life feels a little more hopeful now. I still have 24 sessions for my L5-S1 and 24 sessions for my neck. Hopefully, I will be able to sit for 3 hours after that. I believe this is a realistic goal considering my condition because there are surgeons who are saying I should do a surgery but it could also do more harm than good due to my young age.

I visited the Chiropractic & Holistic Center of Tampa while dealing with chronic lower back pain…read morethat nothing else had relieved. Dr. Pav immediately recognized that the issue wasn't just in my lower back--it was originating from tension running all the way from my neck down. She performed a full‑body treatment, and the relief was almost immediate. She also incorporated the stretcher machine, leg compression system, and electrical stimulation, all of which made a noticeable difference. I only wish I lived locally, because this would absolutely be my weekly chiropractic home. Highly recommended.

First time I've tried acupuncture, and I have to admit it, I'm sold. I had always put it off…read morebecause I didn't want the cost associated with having to pay for multiple visits, but this "community" setting has won me over. The first visit you get a tour along with learning the rules and regulations. After that, you're on your own. You walk in (either with or without an appointment), pay at the pay station - and you set the amount you want to pay - then take a seat in one of the recliners. Okay, this part is a bit odd; you are in a massive dimly lit room with calming new age music playing. After you take a seat, the acupuncturist on duty that day comes over, quizzes you about your issues, then proceeds to place needed in your arms, hands, legs, feet, ears, and/or head. It does not hurt - there is mostly just a pressure, if you feel anything at all. This community environment, instead of having individual cubicles or offices, is what enables them to keep the prices so low. So, while you may hear snoring, coughing, whispering, etc. you are paying a lot less then you would at many offices.

Why 3 stars? Because I suppose acupuncture just isn't for me…read more --- --- --- First of all, I will say this - if acupuncture IS your thing, I fully support the mission of this center. They have a "pay what you can" policy that places all each session between $15-$40 and it's totally up to the client what amount they would like to pay within that range. Plus, my interactions with the woman at the front desk and the therapist were very pleasant. If I were ever to have acupuncture done again, I would come right back here. My rating is more about the service itself, and might be more of an indictment on acupuncture as a whole, rather than the business. I've had lower back and hip pain for years. I've tried everything under the sun to mitigate this pain, but nothing has worked. I recently asked my physical therapist if he thought acupuncture would be helpful and he suggested that it was worth a shot. I saw the phenomenal reviews for this studio, so it was pretty obvious where I'd be going for my first experience. Booking my appointment online was super easy, and I was able to get something that was only about an hour or so later from when I actually made the appointment. When I arrived, I was given new patient paperwork and was kicking myself when I read that headphones could be used, because I didn't even think to bring mine. However, before I was sent back for treatment, I was asked to please turn my phone completely off before leaving the lobby, so I'm not sure how one would listen to headphones when their phone isn't allowed to be one. Either way, this was not a huge issue. I received a brief tour of the facility and then was shown to my chair. I was asked to remove my shoes, socks, watch and everything in my pockets. The recliner I was asked to sit in was incredibly comfortable - that was probably my favorite part of the entire experience. When the acupuncturist came by, he asked me where my ailments were. He then gave me a quick overview of what to expect and then began poking me with the needles. He mentioned that he would be poking me all over my body, but I didn't expect zero attention to be given to my actual problem areas. He poked my hands, my arm, my head and my ankles. A few of the needles hurt going in and a few others would hurt pretty badly if I even moved a small amount. Sitting still for about 45 minutes was virtually impossible, so I had quite a few instances of accidentally moving the needles into some pretty painful positions, on accident. Eventually the acupuncturist came by to remove the needles. He asked me if I felt better. It made me laugh because it just didn't seem possible that my chronic pain of 2 years could actually dissolve after tiny needles were inserted into random parts of my body. I felt comfortable and relaxed due to the delightful chair and peaceful music that was being played, but of course it was a zero in terms of helping my pain. Does acupuncture actually work for certain problems and certain people. I'm sure. But for me and this issue, it's just not for me.

Dr Fuentes-Valdes is a fantastic medical doctor. She practices integrative medicine which I really…read moreappreciate and she's been a key part of my improved health. I find her well versed in both traditional western medicine and holistic treatments. She listens closely and is flexible in her approach so that her recommendations are comprehensive, and comfortable for me to implement.

Along with her comprehensive knowledge of several areas of health treatments, I think Dr Fuentes-Valdes has exceptional doctor-patient communication skills. I've been very happy with having her as my doctor.

I had previously been misinformed by three reputable dermatologists who told me I had an autoimmune condition with no known cure. By the grace of God and in a moment of desperation, I came across Dr. Duke. Given his exceptional reviews, I decided to schedule an appointment. Dr. Duke was confident in his approach and, after conducting some research, was able to provide an accurate diagnosis and begin treatment. Within three months, the condition had completely resolved. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Duke. Since then, my entire family and many of my friends have become patients at his practice. He has even provided a consultation to a friend living overseas.

Not only do they charge $350 just to talk to you for an hour (and make you think they're doing…read moresomething when they aren't), they also keep making appointments for you and then charging you $90 for no shows! I didn't make the appointment in the first place. I was also told by Dr. Duke that he was going to sign HIPAA consent forms on my behalf (never saw them and I don't think that's even legal). Ridiculous place! Original review: The initial visit is $350, which I think is excessive. I didn't know the price until I showed up. I paid anyway, and Dr. Duke spoke for about an hour. If I get follow-up and see improvement, I'll update my review.

Feeling ambivalent about writing this review, as the positive side was having the best acupuncture…read moredoctor I have ever had, Dr. Xu, whom I will miss dearly. Nevertheless, I feel the need to open your eyes and make you aware of the following: Lisa, from billing, has tried charging me for services aside from acupuncture four times. She continues to send my insurance additional billing codes that required co-pays when my treatments are 100% covered. To make matters worse, she sent me an invoice on Monday, 9/15/25 asking me to pay $30.00 for my upcoming acupuncture treatment scheduled for Wednesday, 9/17/25. Without receiving the service, Lisa was already charging me. I have been vocal and assertive about these unexpected charges unsuccessfully. Amber, staff member, dared to cancel my upcoming appointment without my consent after speaking to me on Monday about the invoice received. At 71 y/o, I avoid conflicts if I can, but dealing with some of the staff members in this clinic can be challenging. The clinic is expected to be about relaxation, yet, they have a toxic environment among their staff. I am not aware that the owner, Dr. Ron Shemesh, knows how his staff members are treating customers, but he will find out sooner rather than later. I am tired of receiving bogus charges because each time they send me an invoice, my blood pressure raises very high. I've decided to not go back because my health is more important and I don't want to experience stress and/or anxiety at a place that claims to be about mind, body and spirit. Thank you, and I hope, this review will serve to open eyes because that is my intention. Linda G. Rodriguez, M.S.W.

Dr. Springer at Spectra Wellness brought me back to life. I'm 27 and have struggled with autoimmune…read moredisorders, stomach problems, mental health concerns, chronic fatigue, and more for years. I knew I shouldn't be so uncomfortable in my own body at such a young age. I was referred to Dr. Springer by a former colleague and completely entrusted him with my care without the slightest bit of knowledge on muscle testing - it changed my life. The supplementation he programmed for me transformed my body and brain in a matter of 3 months. There's still work to be done, but in just 3 months he fixed my stomach problems, gave me energy again (no caffeine necessary), and lowered the inflammation all over my body. My anxiety has lowered, I'm sleeping better, and I'm not panicked about eating out at restaurants with a fear of pain and discomfort after. The caveat? It's expensive. And it's a real time commitment too. Insurance doesn't view functional medicine and their natural supplementation as traditional and it's not covered. It's an investment to health and personal development. Plus, you have to put in the work and be intentional with the diet regime and supplements. I truly believe it's worth it, but it breaks my heart how inaccessible this care is to the majority of the population. Dr. Springer's focus on root cause rather than masking symptoms and side effects is life changing.

Forget about calling, you'll be left on hold. Although they have usually five or more behind the desk no one seems to be able to attend incoming patients. I just felt like they were more interested in taking your money than caring for the patients. They defer all questions and communications to the patient portal. I am truly disappointed. And seriously if you go to a medical practice focused on weight and health, shouldn't the staff be representative of that. Most of the staff are overweight and have the worst attitude ever. It's as if they don't want to be there either. Talk about being poorly run and for Godssake turn on the lights in the visitor waiting room. It may help wake people up!

I would have debilitating headaches and it hurt to stand or sit for more than a few minutes at a time. About six months ago I was being treated by someone in Springfield, MO, who had trained under the owners of this clinic and it was like magic. All the sudden the muscle pain had disappeared. Then I moved. After moving, I struggled to sleep and work because of the headaches, and my muscles would not release. I found this clinic and after about two months of treatment, about 6 visits, I am sleeping well, running again and headaches are minimal. This is a technique that requires no evasive actions or surgeries, and can work wonders to help you to function better than normal again.

I have been treated by Flo Hancock for several years now, and I can recommend this clinic…read morewholeheartedly. I have had migraines all of my adult life, and Flo and her husband have developed (or trained by the people who developed) a type of therapy that works when nothing else would. As the other reviewer said, it's noninvasive, and nonsurgical, and it works wonders. I can't explain exactly how it works, I just know that it does work. My mom has also been treated by Flo for years. She has had migraines, muscle pain, and joint pain for most of her life. She says that she now feels like a different person. My brother was treated by "Doc" Hancock, for muscle and joint pain, and Doc was able to fix the pain in just a few visits. The clinic itself is unassuming, but clean and well-run. Darlene, the receptionist, is a real sweet heart. Flo and Doc are good, kind people, and they do their best to help people who live with pain. And to top it off, their prices are reasonable. If you have a pain condition and haven't had any success with other therapies, I highly recommend Hancock Holistic.
