UPDATE**************************…read more I asked Dr. Nobu to contact me if he had a last minute cancellation - and he did! Yay!!! On today's visit - I'm happy to report that the room was delightfully warm thanks to not one, but two heat lamps. I didn't fall asleep this time - but I think that's because I'm just super stressed right now. I snagged a parking spot right up front near the door and my knee was THRILLED. There was soft music, coupled with a sound machine with what I think were either jungle or beach sounds (lol - I wasn't super focused) but that meant I didn't hear any loud neighboring tenants or squeaky chair wheels (lol). I forgot to mention two tips in my original review: 1) If you want to tip Dr. Nobu, either remember to bring cash - or let him know before he swipes your plastic. This is the SECOND time I've forgotten and didn't have any cash for a tip. ARGH! 2) Wear loose, easy to remove clothing. Some folks disrobe down to their underwear. During my first visit - I wore a strapless bra and a big, loose maxi dress and kept all that on during the session with no problems. Today I wore a large t-shirt and big, loose, maxi skirt with a draw string - so I didn't have to undress today either - just hiked up the shirt and skirt when necessary - I'm a never-nude (my Arrested Development fans get it - LMBO). **************************************** I wonder why searching for 'Nobu' within Yelp doesn't actually return this entry - but searching Google for 'Nobu' does . . . weird . . . On to the review: Dr. Nobu is great. Very soft-spoken but seems like a very nice gentleman. His treatment of my left knee is the ONLY thing that has given me any pain relief in the past six months - so that automatically nets him 5 stars in my books. Some cons that I will list - but still not deduct any stars for: 1) There is very limited parking - so arrive early so that you can stalk people walking to their cars and snag their parking spaces as they leave. 2) Dr. Nobu does not take insurance - though you can probably file on your own. 3) The room was a little cold and the walls are thin. I could hear everything going on around me - including the chitchat from the neighboring tenant. Again - not deducting any stars because despite the fact that I was freezing, initially, and could hear everything (chitchat nextdoor, wheels squeaking on office chair) - once Dr. Nobu worked his magic on me - I actually DOZED off on the table. And I have literally never fallen asleep anywhere other than a bedroom in my entire life! This was major for me - I don't fall asleep on long road trips. I have never fallen asleep in church (lol) or under the dryer at the salon. Not even during a massage, have I ever gotten drowsy . . . so this was a testament to Dr. Nobu's skills! 4) No extended or late evening appointments - BUT he's open Sat and Sun to accommodate folks who work 9-5, Mon - Fri. So his hours 8:30am - 4:30pm, Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat and Sun. He is closed on Mon and Fri. 5) Dr. Nobu's appointment calendar fills up quickly! Because of Dr. Nobu's amazing skills - he has legions of loyal clients. Plus - he travels quite a bit - so it can be difficult to book an appointment with him. He does not have an online scheduler, but he is very responsive - via text. When trying to schedule an appointment - plan ahead and be patient - he is definitely worth the wait!

I had to go out of town without my son for 24 hours (he was 6 weeks at the time - crazy I know) and was unsure how to go about stocking up my breastmilk and introduce a bottle to him. Bethany came up with a plan of action and although I was nervous, the day went flawlessly. He took to the bottle, had plenty of milk and has had no trouble breastfeeding since. Her follow up emails were super thorough and filled with a ton of information that I continue to reference. She has kept in touch since our appointment and it's clear that she has a genuine interest in her clients' well being and success. I'm so grateful for her and couldn't recommend her enough. If you need a lactation consultant, Bethany is the BEST.

I've been seeing Chiropractic Student Intern Sherry Wang at the Center for Health and Optimum…read morePerformance at Life University for my chronic lower back pain. I have two herniated discs and have tried just about everything, short of surgery, for pain relief. This includes seeing an orthopedic surgeon, three different physical therapists, a pain medicine doctor for epidurals, and an acupuncturist. In the end, none of those healthcare professionals could significantly reduce the pain I was experiencing. I wasn't completely sold on chiropractors based on what my doctors and physical therapists told me. Quite frankly, they didn't recommend chiropractors. My dad's chiropractor friend advised me to try acupuncture. My dad's neurologist colleague recommended disc distraction therapy. My orthopedist referred me to Midtown Neurology for IDD (intervertebral differential dynamics) therapy. Since my back pain stabilized at a low, manageable level (around a "1" or "2" on the 1-10 pain scale) and deterred by the cost, number of visits, and low success rate of IDD therapy, I did not follow through with that route. Already acquainted with Sherry outside the clinic, I'd learned she was looking for new patients. Life University isn't far from my workplace and I was told the services were inexpensive, so I decided to give it a shot. Life University has the largest chiropractic program in the world. The Center for Health and Optimum Performance ("C HOP") is a training ground for Life's chiropractic students. In a sense, the patients are like guinea pigs for the students. I probably wouldn't have come to C HOP if I didn't know Sherry beforehand. I know a couple of her patients and asked them about their experiences. I have to admit, I was apprehensive because I didn't want my back problems to get worse. However, I heard nothing but good things about Sherry and decided to go through with it. All student interns are monitored by a supervising clinician. In my case, it's Dr. Paula Rhodes. Dr. Rhodes was present during my initial evaluation and first few chiropractic adjustments. Sherry has been consulting with Dr. Rhodes throughout the course of my treatments. Dr. Rhodes is knowledgeable, helpful, and well-spoken. All the student interns work closely with supervising clinicians, so that should give prospective patients some peace of mind. The first two appointments consisted of evaluation, testing, X-rays, and paperwork. The first appointment lasted at least two hours. The evaluation consisted of a detailed personal and medical history and various body tests. The tests involved such things as strength, range of motion, weight, balance, and spinal measurements using computerized tools. One of the tests reminded me of a test in the Nintendo Wii Fit video game. Each of the clinic's departments is headed by real doctors, including the imaging lab where my X-rays were taken. Dr. Mark Maiyer oversaw my X-ray procedure. My initial treatments consisted of adjustments on the chiropractic table and Cox flexion distraction therapy. From what I've heard, the chiropractic table adjustments are pretty typical. The table is divided into different, moveable sections. The patient lies on the table. The chiropractor then applies pressure to various parts of the body and "drops" parts of the table. I believe this is to encourage/restore body alignment. I went through a few of these adjustments and didn't notice any difference in my body. That's not to say nothing happened, I just didn't feel any different afterwards. I do like the Cox flexion distraction therapy (http://youtu.be/YO8i681fc3E). This device is located in the Functional Rehabilitation department of the C HOP clinic, headed by Drs. Roxanne Caron and Joseph Haezebrouck. Cox flexion distraction involves getting strapped into another special table (an $8,000 table at that). On this table, the patient lies face down and his/her lower back is stretched out. While stretched out, the chiropractor moves the patient's lower body in different directions. Out of all the procedures I've tried up to this point, I feel immediate relief during Cox flexion distraction. I can feel my spine decompress and the disc spaces expand. The stretching and flexion motions are relaxing and therapeutic. Whether this will improve my back in the long run remains to be seen. During treatment, I visit the clinic 2 times per week. Each visit usually takes 30-45 minutes in total, but can vary depending on types of treatment. The treatments are indeed inexpensive. My evaluation was $24, X-rays $32, adjustments $15 each, and Cox therapy $8 each. Active students get a 50% discount. While C HOP does not accept insurance, I was able to successfully file health insurance claims myself. The treatments are also eligible under flexible spending (FSA). Notes: Students may observe during treatment. Going to a 15-minute educational "class" on chiropractic is also required.

Walking in you will find the products that they sell and to your right will be the check in desk. I was greeted promptly upon walking in. Since it was my first visit I did have to complete standard paper work. My massage therapist came and grabbed me a few minutes period ti the start time of my appointment. She did ask if I wanted he to focus on any particular area and I did advise her to focus on my shoulder and neck area. The room I was in was clean. Nothing fancy, but it was a clean space. My issue- I simply did not enjoy the massage. It did deliver what I was in desperate need of. My shoulders were very tight and my hope was to get some strong pressure to relieve some of the tension. My therapist did not ask me one time if the pressure was good. I am accustomed to the therapist making sure that my needs are being met and that just was not the case for this experience. I honestly don't think I will be back.

From the first phone call, where you're greeted by the patient coordinator, Leslie, with warmth and friendliness you'd expect from someone you'd known your whole life---to the doctors who work tirelessly and with boundless kindness and patience to get to the root of your problem and prescribe real solutions. They also have senses of humor, which helped me feel instantly safe. You'll have the most thorough initial exam and consultation you've ever had, and most likely, the doctors will discover things in a few hours that no mainstream neurologists had had the time or inclination to uncover in your pursuit for answers and help. The doctors at Innova change lives. And not with magic, but with science, specificity, and hands-on intervention. I was losing control of half of my body, particularly my foot. Within the first few days of treatment, Dr. Duffy had me tapping it like Gregory Hines. My balance was noticeably better. And I could walk like a normal person, not lurch like a Frankenstein monster. We continue to work--you have to be ready to devote some months to getting better, and I've had problems that have persisted. This is where Innova and Dr. Duffy truly blew my mind. He didn't write me off, he came up with yet MORE solutions, including looking at the latest research and involving other practitioners in my care when it was clear there were some unaddressed medical issues. And he and Leslie continue to always be available by phone and email with questions and freak-outs and for same-day appointments if I have an issue that needs more hands-on help. This practice is special. If you're close to giving up, as I was, and this feels like your last hope, trust me when I say it is definitely a place for HOPE. And you might laugh while you're there too.
