I was referred by my massage therapist, Amanda at Mindy's Wellness, so I finally decided to make my first appointment. This establishment is located off of US 1 and Hilden Rd in Ponte Vedra, FL. My call was answered by the very pleasant and professional Dasha. She answered all my questions and advised me that the first fee with / without insurance was $97. No problem, that's why I have an FSA account. I arrived early to fill out new client paperwork and was greeted by the very friendly, Dr. Adam. I was asked if I would like any refreshments. The environment is so relaxing, fun music is playing overhead and everyone was so friendly. When I completed my paperwork, I was greeted by the lovely Dr. Cruz. Together with Dasha, we proceeded into the treatment area where I was given a very detailed orientation to each of the treatment areas which included; * Wall of information - contains packets of particular conditions and how it affects your body. * Therapy room - Resistance bands and therapeutic balls on a chair to help stretch and loosen those problem areas before you get adjusted. * Ultrasound - They offer 3D / 4D images to expectant moms. * Massage tables that have a roller with adjustable pressure that moves up and down your spine. It was so relaxing, post adjustment. Dr. Cruz then had me come into a room with all the neat gadgets! My entire spine was scanned with two different devices. This allowed them to see where the problem areas are in my body and how stress affects me. This along with the x-rays helps them determine the best course of treatment for each of their patients. Very impressed. I was also impressed to find out that I have scoliosis. What?! I had been to two different chiropractors with x-rays and never told that information. This is probably why I continue to have problems with my back. I just assumed that 15 yrs in EMS and working in the medical field was the issue. I'm sure it didn't help. I was also instructed that there are different ways to adjust somebody who has that condition. My adjustment was performed by Dr. Adam and I felt so much better after the treatment. I'm was really impressed (I know, I use that word a lot) with the professionalism and the fact that they explain everything that they're doing and why. I'm a big advocate when it comes to educating your patients. It makes them feel more at ease with the care they are receiving. TWO THUMBS UP! I would also like to note that while I was waiting for my consultation, I was listening to the conversation next door between Dr. Adam and his patient. It was a very laid back interaction, but you could tell by the content that he was fully engaged. Dr. Adam and Dr. Cruz are professional in their approach and are open to any and all questions that you may have. Most importantly, they are fully invested in their patients care. What a great first impression and I look forward to my next visit! read more

Highly Recommend Dr Adam at Lighthouse Chiropractic. Dr Adam is very caring and passionate about what he does. I recently had a back injury and Dr Adam called me back right away and saw me that same day! I left his office feeling so much better. This was not my first visit, both my husband and I were seeing Dr Adam last year for shoulder and neck pain. He's just awesome! And he has a new Brio Massage Chair that is amazing as well! read more

I was taking my mom on a road trip from Texas to Disney, when her hip symptoms worsened drastically. We only stayed in Jacksonville area for a short period during the weekend, but Dr. Adam managed to take her in on a short notice as a new patient. He was thorough, patient, informative and very pleasant throughout the process, which made my mom's first ever visit to chiropractors so much easier. Dr. Adam's office is bright and homey which is equipped with latest technology. He sent us all the Xray and digital scanning images right away. That level of efficiency makes a tech savvy millennial very satisfied! I would recommend Dr. Adam and his staff to anyone who appreciates a knowledgable, patient, and cheerful chiropractor. read more

I have been a law enforcement officer for almost 14 years and I have had back pain, neck pain and leg pain for many years. My wife put me in touch with Dr. Adam so I figured I would give it a shot. I will admit the whole idea of someone adjusting my neck and back made me a little nervous. I saw Dr Adam and after one adjustment the difference was absolutely incredible. My leg pain was gone, my neck pain was gone and my back pain was gone. Dr. Adam is truly phenomenal at what he does and there is no one else I would trust to do my adjustments or for my overall care. Dr. Adam cares about his patients and his office hours are flexible for anyone's schedule. There have been times where I have called at the last minute because of severe pain and Dr. Adam always finds time to fit me in for an adjustment. If you are having lingering pain anywhere in your body or pain that just keeps getting worse, schedule an appointment with Dr. Adam immediately. I promise the decision to do that will change your life. read more

First of all thank God, for Dr. Adam and Dr. Cruz, let's see I first meet them when they were recently opened their practice. They are genuinely a carrying team for well-being of patients. I've personally have been around a few chiropractors due to a severe injury, hands down for these two persons. If you are looking for genuinely, hearted care please don't go anywhere else just go to them. I promise you won't be disappointed. It's the best chiropractor clinic around IMO. I'm blessed to have cross paths with them. And if you are veteran, the VA covers them for care so ask your PMC. read more

I've been going to see Dr. Podraza at Lighthouse Chiropractic for about a little over two months now. First thing is first, I was completely unaware about how amazing just one check up can be for my entire body. Coming off of a major car accident, I needed a lot of help regarding my spine and neck. I immediately began to see progress with my weightlifting routine as well as in my daily life after the first visit! Dr.Podraza really works with you to make sure he targets the specific areas you wish to tackle for your pain/imbalances in a comfortable and soothing environment. The staff is warm and welcoming and always on top off your account. Definitely recommend to anyone feeling any sort of back, or muscular pain! read more

Finally found a Chiropractor that wants to relieve my pain and not just sell me a treatment plan. I didn't feel like a number. He listened and didn't make me come back a second time for treatment. Very knowledgeable and caring. Thanks Dr. Adam! read more
