As an RN, I know that medical professionals are selective for any treatment that we seek. We are aware that there are both good & bad medical professionals, therefore we carefully evaluate & ask other professionals who they would recommend. Any good medical professional is going to ensure that they are recommending a colleague who will provide the best possible care. Once we have been treated by an excellent provider, we feel exceptionally comfortable in referring them to others. Dr. Vige is highly respected within the medical community & he continues to be the Chiropractor that many recommend without hesitation. I have referred many individuals to him & I will absolutely say that he is worth the drive to Dickinson, TX. Having said that, I have been a patient of Dr. Vige since 2010. After being referred by colleagues, I became a patient of Dr. Vige & that was one of the best decisions I have made. Shortly after becoming his patient, I hurt my lower back. Due to the pain I went to Dr. Vige & he recommended that I get an MRI. Upon receiving the results, Dr. Vige reviewed them with me, explained that I most-likely needed spinal surgery & referred me to an excellent Neurosurgeon. On my first appointment, I was told that I needed surgery & I was having lower back surgery only ten day later. As many of you know, this is not a typical response from a Chiropractor. There is absolutely NO other Chiropractor I have ever encountered that would immediately say, this needs to be evaluated & repaired by a Neurosurgeon. This is the type of care you can expect from Dr. Vige. He truly cares for his patients. He not only has impressive knowledge, a wide range of skills & treatment options but he also has no qualms in stating that a situation needs more than chiropractic care, which is one of the many qualities that makes him such a remarkable person & Chiropractor. Not only did he care for me & assist in a proper diagnosis but he was also a critical part of my post-operative care team. In 2018, Dr. Vige was a critical part of my care team when I returned from CA. Due to a medical error, being wheelchair bound, permanent disabled & needing two total hip replacements at the age of 43 he immediately started to care for me. He was able help reduce my pain & once again, was a critical part of my pre/post surgical care team. I truly don't know what I would have done without his remarkable care. Even though I am still disabled, I am able to walk again. Because of Dr. Vige's care, any time I feel pain, I immediately make appointments with him. Additionally, he provides excellent care for my family & friends. In February, I started having neck, left shoulder & arm pain. Dr. Vige was the first person I called & we immediately started treatment. He was concerned enough that he ordered MRI's but before I could get the MRI's, the pain suddenly intensified to a 10/10, so I went to a local ER. The MD "evaluated" me a said that I had pulled a muscle. The ER doctor, provided me an IV dose of steroids, to decrease swelling & only due to insisting, the MD ordered a CT, then repeated that it was a pulled muscle, prescribed a muscle relaxer, told me to rest & that my pulled muscle would heal. The pain decreased, so I thought maybe the ER MD was right & so I canceled my MRI's... I should have listened to Dr. Vige. The pain returned with a vengeance in late March. Due to the ER diagnosis, plus with the COVID-19 virus, I was hesitant about seeking medical care, even with significant pain. In April my husband called Dr. Vige & was grateful that he was treating patients. After a few treatments, Dr. Vige once again said that I needed an MRI, so this time I listened to him & I got the MRI. When the results were in, Dr. Vige reviewed the MRI imaging & was concerned enough that he wanted me evaluated by a Neurosurgeon & a Pain Management MD. I immediately made an appointment with my former Neurosurgeon but due to COVID-19, I could only see his PA. My husband & I left the appointment feeling disappointed & frustrated. COVID-19 also prevented getting a pain doctor appointment. I then went back to Dr. Vige for treatment & explained what happened, he then referred me to a different Neurosurgeon & a Pain Management Specialist in the Medical Center. As of yesterday, I am scheduled for a cervical spinal surgery. Once again, Dr. Vige was able to assess my situation, review the MRI's, CT's & know that I needed a Neurosurgeon & a possible surgery. As always, he will be a key part of my post-operative care team. Even with all that I have been through, I know that I am safe in in Dr. Vige's care. read more

I started seeing Dr Vige in the early 2000's after an occupational injury. My wife had become his patient after an injury. She referred me to him after I'd received what I knew was improper care from my, then, current chiropractor. I've seen chiropractors for almost 40 years and have had good & bad experiences. Dr Vige treated me for several months and got me back to work. His work is beyond anything I've had elsewhere. He uses different techniques & types of therapy I had not experienced before. All have been amazingly beneficial. I had both a knee and neck injury at work also (retired firefighter). I saw MDs, neurosurgeons, & therapists because I felt chiropractic care was not the proper route. After months of recommended "treatment" with no results I asked Max to see what chiropractic would do for me. In a couple of treatments the constant pain was mostly gone and is still improving. Regardless of your age or your type of pain, Dr Max is a good first step. He can fix it or will refer you to someone who can. read more

Dr. Max is the best! I come out of the office feeling much better every time. Thank you! read more

I haven't visited received chiropractic treatment for about 6 months since my long-time chiropractor in central Texas retired. I was visiting family during the Christmas / New Year holiday and was experiencing tremendous neck, back and hip pain and was referred to Dr. Max Vige's office by a family member. Fortunately for me, his office had a cancellation for the afternoon. When I walked in, I was very unsteady due to the tremendous pain in my hip and back. Dr. Max and his staff performed a thorough assessment and took a course of action that, within one hour, allowed me to walk again with pain. Dr. Max is a soft spoken genius in my book...and I'm very hard to please in most instances. THANKS DR. MAX! read more

Great folks that cure what ails ya! Been going to these guys for years. Nicole and Max are awesome - they make it where I can sleep at night! read more

The awesome staff and easily accessible location make GCB a great place to start adjusting your life and feeling better!

Don't be fooled by the low-key appearance of the building when you pull up. These people know what they're doing. Staff is courteous and friendly, and Drs Max and Nicole are great at finding the source of my discomfort/pain and addressing it. They aren't quick to offer a bunch of extra services you don't need, so if they suggest a follow up it's likely because you actually need one. They're concerned with keeping you healthy too, so don't be surprised if they show you a stretching routine or suggest exercises to help with your issue. Prices are affordable even with a high deductible health care plan. read more
