Okay, so, in the greater Nashville, Franklin, Cool Springs area, Dr Frank Marghella may stick out like a sore thumb, with his Long Island accent which hasn't seemed to succumb to his years in the South, but he makes up for it with his knowledge of wellness, the aesthetic of the environment he has created, the chiropractic adjustments and pain relief he gives as well as his obvious passion to heal. When he named the practice Ideal Health and Wellness Center, I don't think he had a clue how true to himself he was being. Then again, that's what's likable about him as a doctor. He really doesn't even consider his awesomeness. Dude. He just exudes it! Let me start by saying this review is YEARS overdue. It's time to give props where they are due! I should also say that the ex'act reason you may think I'm biased, is the exact reason why I am the least based at all, but also had caused me to give pause to reviewing him. I actually didn't want to write a review on him for the longest time. I have extremely high standards for Chiropractic care, and I am a bit of a snob, not when it comes to advocating the profession itself, but with my own personal care. There are a select group of docs in my travels that I work with personally, and Dr Marghella is in the top 5-10 that I have seen in the last 3 decades. But it goes beyond the treatment. What's my apparent bias? Well, it's the exact thing that kept me from writing this review for years. I can't say I haven't been asked to write one. Not as an insincere, biased, web-presence-booster, but after the praises I have given, in-person, after treatments. Admittedly, I have been putting it off so as to avoid any apparent conflict of interest. You see, I have a history with the Chiropractic profession and I work with Chiropractors and wellness professionals for a living. Dr Marghella has been a long-standing client of mine and I have been with him behind the scenes in helping him grow from a small, humble, start-up practice into the full-blown wellness center he has created out of his own design. I have worked with him since 2012 and hadn't even met him in person until almost 2 years later. So it's been a New York - Nashville, online relationship. Of course, when I went down for the first time to visit his practice, I had him treat me. I immediately added him to my repertoire of docs across the country who are my go-to for treatment. I have experienced multiple techniques and modalities of Chiropractic adjustments by various doctors over the years and I can tell you, Dr M has quite the technique. I have also seen him in action with patients and I can tell you, his passion is impressive. I would recommend him for all the basic back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, herniated disc, headache and migraine cases, but especially for athletes who want to remain in top form or for recovery from sports injuries. Dr Marghella is a former athlete himself and has worked on both pro and amateur jocks, young and old. In fact, he is most passionate about working with athletes and fitness enthusiasts and now even works with patients to achieve weight loss, fat reduction and the like. Dude has such an impressive resume. So, even if you think I'm biased, or, especially if you don't, I recommend not taking my word for it. Anyone can write a stellar review. As you can see he has many. But the experience is personal and must be kept that way. In other words, I suggest you experience Dr Marghella for yourself. And, when you go, you will get to talk to him. I don't suggest you ever undergo or "try" Chiropractic treatment on your own. No one can possibly recommend this or any other physical therapy, massage, even stretching or exercise, without first getting to the root cause of what is happening. And that's what I suggest you check out. Go in and see Dr M and, first, ask him to look you over. Talk to him directly and decide for yourself if what he tells you is true or if he's just a big yankee, New York bag of wind. It's really up to you to decide. I advocate Chiropracty for a living and this is the same advice I give everyone I talk to. Start with diagnostic, get the skinny on what's causing it, hear the recommendations and, before accepting any treatment, decide for yourself if what you're being told is true. You'll be surprised what you'll find out about yourself in the process. In multitude of Chiropractors I know, I can tell you, Dr Marghella may be a little bit of a bag of wind about fantasy sports, but, when it comes to wellness, Chiropractic care and working with the body's innate ability to heal itself, he's the real deal. Every treatment I have received from him has been the epitome of the name Ideal Health and Wellness Center and a home run in any ballpark. Sorry it took so long to write it! read more

Made a visit to Dr. Frank to inquire on Laser Lipo as well address headaches and neck pain. After x-rays and an assessment, adjustments were obviously in order. I wish I had visited sooner! I have also seen results with the first few sessions in my waist using Laser Lipo!! Patient care is excellent, and the entire staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! Highly recommend if your looking for a chiropractor in the area! read more

This place! This doctor! The staff! AMAZING. Over the top amazing. The absolute best of the best. I was not even looking for a chiropractor to be honest. I responded to a Facebook ad for a special that was being offered. It was for laser lipo. I did not expect it to work but thought for the price of the introductory offer, it would at least be a new experience. I was completely skeptical. But, I went and after one session, my husband said he noticed a major improvement. I continued to go back and experienced improvement with every session. I am not someone who had much to lose in the way of inches to begin with but after 6 sessions, I lost 6 inches from my mid-section. Through the process, I met Dr. Frank. Let me be clear. I don't mean he popped his head in the room hurriedly and rushed. He took his time listening and explaining. He is the most real doctor I have EVER been to. He cares. He listens. He talks. He smiles. He hugs. He checks in. It is NOT all about the bottom line at this clinic. It is about the client. It is about wellness. It is about respect and relationships. I had been having some pain and balance issues for months but after experiencing them for so long, I accepted them as my normal because they were common to me. So, I no longer considered pain to be a problem but rather just how my body was. One... yes ONE visit and the pain that I had no idea was draining my energy was GONE! I have never felt better. Additionally, his staff- they are kind, caring, professional and REAL. Every single one of them. The office is clean and equipped with quality equipment. I cannot convey the impact that finding Ideal Health has had on my day to day life. I now visit here routinely. I have only been in Tennessee for a very short time and consider finding Ideal Health as one of the hidden blessings in my time here. I highly recommend! read more

Our entire family of 4 are all athletes and we've been huge advocates for Chiropractic care for the last 15 years. When we moved to Franklin from California, we needed to find a Chiropractor. Thank God we found Dr. Frank!! In 15 years, we've never had a better Chiro‼ read more

I hurt my back at the gym and after a couple of days I knew I needed help. I called Ideal Health and Wellness and they got me right in with Dr Frank Marghella. After just a few sessions, I feel better than I have in years. I'm sleeping better too. Devon usually gets me set up for therapy before my adjustment and he is my favorite but all the techs are great. I've been to a couple chiropractors over the years but Ideal and Dr Frank is the best. The office is clean, they are very efficient in getting you in and out and they have a very nice waiting room with coffee and water. Highly recommended. read more

What an amazing place! I decided to try laser lipo here- which worked fantastically! Lost several inches! But, even better, I have a chronic digestive disorder, gastroparesis, which can flare pretty terribly and for long periods of time. It I also gives me chronic abdominal pain. The laser for the laser lipo actually improved my digestive disorder! It made my abdominal pain go away and helps keep my flares away! I recommend their laser lipo to those have digestive conditions, especially with inflammation, as this made me feel so much better! And you lose inches! read more

Waste of time and MONEY. As others have said, you are put on a "cleanse," told to drink "special" water, diet, and exercise. What they don't tell you at your consultation is that at the end of each laser session (which doesn't work), you have to go in their exercise room and exercise for 30 minutes! Well, duh, if you exercise 30 minutes 3 times a week, of course you are going to lose inches. And, after not being satisfied with my results, they offered 2 extra sessions if I did a yelp review! No thanks. read more

Frank has been awesome. I have been suffering for years with lower back pains and it has affected my abilities to workout, run, stand for long periods of time and to just be normal. For the last three years prior to going to Frank, I have watched my athletic ability go from being able to compete in races and to wrestle to wishing I could get out of bed without something going wrong with my lower back. After years of pain medicines and shots and a potential future of a surgery I was finally introduced to Frank in August of 2017. Now let me be clear, I was not an overall fan of chiropractors based on a past experience 8 years ago so I was going into this with my mind completely closed until Frank started talking. He made me feel at ease and he even showed me where the trouble areas were and how they happened and how we could correct it. It took about 2 weeks but I found myself standing up straighter and that nagging pain I had in my lower back was gone. I am feeling stronger and after a few months and learning how to run again with a new stride I have now logged in times that are 3-4 minutes faster than when I first started. Thank you Frank for helping me to get back to being active and for helping my quality of life get better. read more

I went here because I purchased a Groupon for 3 sessions . He talked me into doing 12 I paid 1600.00 for this. He garantee I lose 6 inches. They measure top middle bottom of your abdomen. Not only is this a joke I can't see any difference at all!!!! On top of that they changed their number and office location without even contacting me. I was gonna finish my last 3 sessions just because I paid for it but now they moved a hour away from me it's not even worth my gas, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS IT CLEARLY DOESN'T WORK. read more

I am so thankful that he was able to help me. My symptoms disappear in just one visit! Oh and his staff is great too! read more

I am really happy with the lipo laser treatment program at Ideal Health and Wellness Center...with the first two treatments, I have already lost 3-1/2 inches around my middle, and am feeling and looking fantastic! Thanks! read more

The staff and Doctor are very nice. But from my experience you do not lose inches from the laser Lipo. They give you a nutrition plan, fiber cleanse, and encourage exercise. All great advice and everything you should be doing if you want to be healthy and lose weight. After paying 1,600.00 it's my opinion if you lose weight or inches, it's not because of the Lipo laser it's because of your food intake and fiber cleanse. Don't waste your money like I did. Again this is only my opinion. read more
