A good friend Jason badly injured his back around the time that I was t-boned last November. When…read morehe saw me, weeks later, he noticed the difficulties I was still having with back pain and began to testify about the guy that got him back on his feet and back to work. That person is Dr. David Bachman of Gulf Coast Family Chiropractic, just off Co Rd 10 & Hwy 59 in Foley. (It's behind Family Dollar at end of cul de sac) My first visit included an evaluation, which was extensive, with multiple in-house x-rays, a thorough history, and an extended discussion with Dr. Bschman. (I call him David these days) In my history, I'd explained my previous extended chiropractic experience in TN that was pivotal after a nasty car accident that ruptured multiple discs and damaged nerves which had left me with chronic persistent migraine-like headaches all these years later. I'll come back to the headaches .... On my second visit I was given an introduction that included printouts of my X-rays that showed an average patient in comparison to my pics. I then sat in a conference room to watch a roughly 30-minute video that was a pretty comprehensive overview of chiropractic, and methodologies with an emphasis on techniques and goals. It also explained all the materials included in the packet and a guide to proper interpretation. My visits started off three times per week, I'm now on twice a week, but before making a change, to hopefully once a week, they explained in advance that they'll be doing a full reevalulation to determine my point of progress. That will include new set of x-rays. (no additional charges) Since starting my therapy, 3 times a week, I have drop to bi-weekly, now once a week. My pain has decreased significantly and my range of motion has increased as well. Insurance pays for a significant portion of all the treatment, x-rays, etc. and for extended therapies they offer a ln affordable payment plan so the monetary isn't too painful either :-) My wife is Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and I have always been a student of osteopathic and holistic approaches to health and wellness. That's another reason that David's methodologies is such a good fit for me because he's all about the causes and not the symptoms. They also believe and promote aroma therapies and have a sauna on site as well as a regular massage therapist. The fact that that they listen to you, really listen, work in concert with your needs a d wishes and pay close attention to detail is outstanding and not easy to find these days, I'm impressed and at ease with my treatment plan. There's a comfortable waiting area, but waiting is rare, on my visits, because they space out the appointments appropriately and there's a big space with three treatment tables. As for the space, there's a comprehensive number of steps to your regiment that includes exercises in a big ball, stretch bands, a chair cushion, yoga mats, wall traction, flex chair, inversion table, and vibration platforms. Regarding headaches, David is one of a limited number of chiropractors that's trained in chiropractic migraine and headache therapies and care. This has been wonderfully evident when I've gone in for my sessions when I had a bad headache. He focused on my head, neck, and shoulders and it's made a difference, cool! For some who haven't had a chiropractic experience, it is a safe and effective solution that will not only get rid of headache pain but actually treat what's causing the headache in the first place. There's a lot of research out there saying that regular chiropractic care is indeed an effective treatment for some of the common types of headaches. Those include migraines, tension headaches and more. There's many more potential benefits for young and old and what was once considered "alternative" medicine is now widely accepted as "complimentary". Both my chiropractic and primary care doctors are aware of one anothers recommendations and that gives me another level of confidence. Bottom line: These folks have an excellent staff that are friendly, patient, and efficient that make sure you are well informed and keep you up to date with your treatment, progress, and appointments. (I get texts the day before and day of appt.) David is also very friendly, professional and he genuinely cares, and that works for me. Highly recommend!!!!

Updated: 3/10/2026 Read the latest at the end of my review…read more I have an appointment for a MRI on Saturday Feb 21st. My new doctor thinks I may have deeper issues than just trigger finger. I've already seen him once since my ordeal at The Orthopedic Group. They did an x-ray and did a short evaluation of my finger after a lengthy consultation about what I had to endure prior. I go for a MRI to determine whether something more serious and severe is going on with my finger. My new doctor thinks it might be a fluid situation possibly. But he wants to make sure by means of the MRI imaging. This is what I've been needing and hoping and praying for. I just feel like the orthopedic group or at least the doctor I had didn't care about me and my way of life or occupation. It felt like a hurry up and get him out of here thing looking back on it. Not much care or thoroughness was taken because I was paying out of pocket instead of insurance. The orthopedic doctor I'm seeing now has done two prior surgeries on the same left hand and he did a very good job. That's why I've decided to go back to him. Also because I just finally got my Medicare insurance started this Feb 2026. I only went to the orthopedic group because of payment plans, biggest mistake of my life to say the least. In addition to this post I have to say that I truly am not trying to put down the orthopedic group. It's the fact that I had a really bad experience there. Many other people love that place but for me it was not good. Dr. Glenzer was my doctor at the orthopedic group and his personality just seemed a bit more in a hurry rather than get it right. At least for me, that's my take on him. I do wish all that go there the very best of luck however. My new and former doctor is very thorough and listens to my concerns very carefully. He's done carpal tunnel surgery and trigger thumb surgery for me which were very successful. He also did a steroid shot injection back years ago on my right thumb which did wonders. The only other thing I might say about the orthopedic group is that after Dr. Glenzer had agreed to do a free incision surgery but I was billed afterwards a small amount. They also required me to pay for the office visit the day of the free surgery. This feels like , pay us for screwing up your finger with a botched needle procedure. Totally unacceptable!!! If it had gone successfully I would have had no problem but the second procedure needle surgery was just bad ! I feel very let down by that establishment personally. Good luck to you if you choose to go to the orthopedic group establishment practice. After my MRI results it's been determined by my new orthopedic doctor that I have lots of scar tissue. My question to the Orthopedic Group is why wasn't the scar tissue removed at the time of the follow up free surgery? I also have some fluid buildup! I'm very angry about how Dr. Glenzer took care or not of me and the surgery. It felt like I was not a priority or a concern. He agreed to do the following up surgery after all my pain and frustrations. Now I'm getting billing statements from the orthopedic group. I have a voicemail saved of his call to me telling me that he wanted to make things right with me and agreeing to do the follow up surgery for free. I was also charged an office fee the day I went there for the follow up surgery. As a guitarist that depends on my fingers to make income this is just not acceptable. Total disregard and respect to me and my profession is what I'm feeling. I now have to go through some grueling physical therapy to try and get back to some sort of normal. My new orthopedic doctor says he could go back into the surgery process to remove scar tissue buildup and possible fluid but he wants that to be a last option. I for one will never go back to the orthopedic group for anything. The whole experience with them and Dr Glenzer has been nothing short of a nightmare for me.
