It is truly difficult for me to write this review as I do not like to be negative. HOWEVER, I do feel it's extremely important to share my experience so others can learn from my mistakes & avoid the same issues. I absolutely do not, I repeat DO NOT recommend him for chiropractor care!!!Please do not make the same mistake I made by falling for his sales pitch & Christian advertisement.
I received treatment from Dr. Diehl for 3 years in the hope to resolve my long list of issues. At the time I started treatment, I was desperate to relieve the pain, I was literally in tears. Looking back now, I truly believe he used that to his advantage. He is a great salesman & is very convincing.
After the consult & first adjustment, I have to admit, I felt great! Therefore, I started treatment immediately. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not doing my homework & researching chiropractors prior to going to Dr. Diehl. In the beginning he was attentive & communicative about how he can help me & in what ways. Then, how much it cost was a huge SHOCK! He offered a plan to save money by paying a lump sum all upfront. Unfortunately, in my vulnerability & desperation, I didn't know any better or realize this was not a common practice. So, I did it. I was honestly sick to my stomach for months after I paid for the treatment all up front.
After a while, I noticed a HUGE SHIFT in the treatment, bed side manner, interactions etc. Dr. Diehl all of a sudden was too busy to have a conversation with me about my re-occurring concerns &/or new symptoms. Treatment he discussed prior was all of a sudden forgotten &/or not done / dismissed. Each treatment felt rushed & was NOT thorough at all. Often times, I was in & out of there in 5 minutes. I literally felt like I was apart of a heard of cattle that he pushed through, nodded when talked to & stamped for his paycheck. In every attempt to discuss my treatment, he was not attentive at all. He was scattered all over the place. No eye contact. No concern. No support. He also NEVER remembered anything about my case or prior discussions etc. (even after years of going to him). I even attended SEVERAL of his workshops & fitness programs offered, but it felt rushed, sales-ish & had NO results. Being a Christian woman myself, I kept coming up with all kinds of excuses to continue my faith in him & that I was the one who was taking things wrong. Well.... after a while... I decided to keep a log noting my observations, experiences, etc. After a few weeks, then months... I noticed the pattern....... the results were disheartening to say the least. I decided to talk to him & be upfront with where I was coming from. I mean after all, he is a person too & maybe doesn't realize it. So, during my appointment...I began to make the attempt to reach out. Yet again, he was not attentive, not listening, & was scatter brained. I was again rushed through the adjustment & he then suggested that I make a separate appointment separately to "talk". So, after leaving that appointment in discomfort both physically & emotionally, I made the separate appt. During that appointment. He was again, not attentive, not listening & did not seem to care about anything I was saying. He literally had a blank stare. The following appts. all of a sudden, he didn't have time to see me or there was a glitch in the system & needed to reschedule. That moment, I realized it's a lost cause. HE IS A SHIESTER!
I was then on the hunt for a new chiropractor. In the process of doing my homework / research, several chiropractors diagnosis were VERY different from Dr. Diehls. I was NEVER informed from Dr. Diehl of the other issues I had & apparently Dr. Diehls methods for treating me were not only NOT helping, but in turn caused more issues & new issues. He definitely does not know what he is doing. I am still sick to my stomach at the price this has cost me in every way (financially, physically & emotionally). It is unfortunate, but the truth.
DO NOT GET TREATMENT FROM DR.DIEHL!
BTW- All the gadgets I was given for treatment by Dr. Diehl are actually NOT helpful for spine correction. Do Not Use Them!
NOTE: I am happy to report, I found a new chiropractor who has been amazing & improvements noticed just after a month of treatment. read more
