I am going to preface this review by saying these words are very heart felt. I could not be more serious about what you are about to read! I don't really know how to explain the remarkable difference I have seen in myself in the last few weeks since seeing Dr. McAndrews. It is almost magical. I knew I needed to make a switch to a different chiropractor, but she has affected my life on many levels beyond just aligning my spine!!! I had been going to the same chiropractic office for 7 years. I have felt more change in three weeks than I had in 7 years. No joke. I did not expect to get into the subject of food in such detail, but after her explanation of the science behind how diet can affect brain chemistry, as a bipolar individual I was willing to try something different. I am currently in the process of getting back to my goal weight as well. Even though I still feel like I may be consuming too many calories (even though they are the right kind of calories) and I have not resumed exercise yet after an injury, I have shrunk some because I am not inflamed everywhere. It is a great feeling when I wake up to not have a bloated belly, even though, my digestive system is still adjusting to eating differently. I just feel lighter, as if I were losing weight like I was kicking my ass in the gym but I haven't even started! (Still doesn't make sense to me because I am slightly constipated so I should feel horrible.) Anyway, this is all exciting because once I get back to my swimming and running I am really going to feel a change! In regards to my brain, I am noticing more clarity and also I think I am slightly more productive/organized in my thoughts. This has only been the third week of eating this way and I am so stoked to see how I feel two months from now! I have also had moments lately where (if I really believe my intuition and not second guess why certain thoughts come) memories pop up. Traumas that I haven't thought about in a long time. It's almost as if these new areas where I am feeling physical pain are possibly associated in some way with these icky emotions. We had an appointment recently where she touched my upper back softly and just told me to let regret/shame go, in whichever way that resonated with me. Maybe that opened a door. With this new found level of clarity in my thoughts (due to the diet change) I feel like I should not dismiss these feelings. I envision going down a path with her where I start to figure out how to listen to my body in a full circle kind of way. My 12 year old son has autism. I am extremely excited to see the relationship grow between them. The bonus is that I am going to learn things about him through her intuitive nature. Just another unexpected part of this new path that I am going to love! She was recommended to me by a good friend, so I decided to go. I NEVER expected this level of positive and eye opening change from a chiropractor. That just goes to show that the universe has led me to her office and how ONE OF A KIND a doctor can be. Only certain types of people can inspire change like this. I also need to mention, the first week I saw Dr. Mary my back froze up on me which was very painful and made it hard to function. The attention that she gave me when I was at my worst was shocking. Coming in on days off was mind-blowing to me. Talk about going above and beyond! I am super grateful for her!!! I am excited for this new journey for not only my body, but also my mind. Who knew this could all come from a chiropractor!!! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. John Jung for a number of years. His knowledge of chiropractic and functional medicine is phenomenal. Since pairing up with Dr. Mary McAndrews, this duo is dynamite! They way they run their practice is wonderful. They have a wonderful New Patient protocol. When you call to make your first appointment as a new patient, you are asked your insurance information, as well as some other initial questions. Before arriving at the appointment, your insurance has been verified so they have an idea of what your deductible is and they can come up with a payment plan for you. When you arrive, you'll fill out paperwork (as in any new doctor's office), then they take you back and do full range of motion tests and x-rays. The doctor then comes back and goes over your x-rays with you, gives you a relief adjustment, and then you go back to the front to schedule your appointment for the following day. When you arrive for your second day, you're taken to traction, then to the doctor's office to review your x-rays more in depth and get an adjustment. There will be charges to pay, especially in the beginning of the year when your insurance has started over with deductibles. The office estimates how much your insurance will pay and, once the office has been paid and they receive the information, they let you know. Their fees are extremely reasonable and their staff is so warm and caring. I highly recommend this practice if you're looking for amazing chiropractors. read more

**Review for Dr. Mary McAndrews** I had the pleasure of experiencing chiropractic care with Dr. Mary McAndrews, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional practitioner who goes above and beyond in her approach to health and wellness. From the moment I stepped into her office, I felt welcomed and at ease. Dr. McAndrews takes a holistic approach to chiropractic care, focusing not only on the physical ailments but also considering the mental and emotional aspects of health. Her ability to connect with her patients and truly listen to their concerns sets her apart. She takes the time to understand your unique situation and tailors her treatments accordingly. The sessions are nothing short of transformational. I have experienced significant relief from discomfort and have noticed a remarkable improvement in my overall well-being. Dr. McAndrews employs a variety of techniques that address both immediate issues and long-term health goals. I appreciate her dedication to educating her patients about their bodies and the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

After several years of chiropractic treatment, with more misses than hits, I had become somewhat skeptical of chiropractic techniques as a solution for my chronic back issues. I had a lower lumbar fusion (L4 -S1) in early September 2021 and have recently begun physical therapy to restore strength and mobility to my spine. I also started seeing Dr McAndrews about a month ago. Dr. McAndrews has restored my faith in this type of treatment. At my first visit she shot a complete set of X-rays and we went over them in detail, with Dr. McAndrews patiently responding to my barrage of questions. We discussed a comprehensive treatment plan, which she began that day. She is very aware of the limitations I'm faced with in recovering from the spinal surgery last year and accounts for these challenges in my treatment plan. In a very short period of time (ie, 1 month) I am seeing results. She is honest, aggressive and effective as my pain continues to decrease and flexibility returns to my back. She has also agreed to coordinate with my physical therapist, which is very important to me. I have a long road back and am very confident in Dr. McAndrews and the role she will play in my recovery.

I have been suffering with severe back pain and lack of mobility for years. Wanting to live a normal active life, I tried three different chiropractors, and had nine epidurals. The epidurals brought some pain relief, but didn't do much for the stiffness. The chiropractors paid no real attention to my symptoms and all adjusted me the same way actually making my back worse, and more debilitating. My sister-in-law introduced me to Dr. McAndrews, and the results have been nothing short of amazing! She and her team took the time to talk with me about a plan of action and immediately dove in in treating the problems. After my first week, I could walk upright again, and after one month I am pain free, and able to exercise and even golf again. After all the failed attempts at fixing my back, Dr. McAndrews has done what I thought impossible. I can't recommend her strongly enough. She is a strong, confident woman and incredibly adept at her job. That combined with a great sense of humor and a willingness to work with you to accommodate your schedule make her hard to beat. read more

Through the years, I have chosen chiropractic care for myself to stay on a healthier path in this life. I started getting adjustments when I was 38 years old and now I am 68. I have seen five other chiropractors through the years and left each one for different reasons. When my friend told me about her success with Dr. McAndrews, I was excited to make my first appointment! My experience with her has been nothing short of fantastic! She has treated me for 5 months now and I continually keep getting better, feeling more alive and healthy each week! No other chiropractor has done this for me until now. The staff is warm and welcoming, remembering everyone by name. Dr. McAndrews' warmth, genuine care, expertise, vast experience and brilliance is unsurpassed. She is everything I've been looking for all these years! My whole family goes to her practice now and is very pleased with their progress! She is perfect for my autistic grandson...amazing:-) Don't look any further. Make an appointment today! read more

Dr Mary is a truly gifted chiropractor and healer. I've tried 5 other chiropractors in this area over the past 9 years and she's been the first that has been able to make meaningful improvements in my 54-yr-old neck which over the years developed a reverse curve due to an injury from 30 years ago. She is great at explaining what she is doing and why. I had some fear around having anyone handle my neck but her considerate approach allowed me to relax. I really am surprised that she has been able to get so much movement back in my neck and begin to restore the proper curve. Administratively, everything has been smooth. So many chiropractors don't even accept insurance - Dr. Mary and Sam at the front desk have always explained things so clearly as to how the charges and insurance coverage would work. Sam at the front desk is a joy. I actually enjoy going. So thank you to everyone there! read more

Forever grateful I found Dr. McAndrews a few years ago. I had a pretty bad fall off of a horse back in 2018 which left me on crutches for half a year. The fall left me with whiplash neck as well as my hips being shifted completely. Months of physical therapy and handful of specialist without any type of relief BUT I experienced almost instant relief from my frequent migraines and hip pain after seeing Dr. McAndrews. She is truly a miracle and the healing she provides is baffling. I truly felt like my early adulthood was going to be brutal with the injuries I sustained but she proved me completely wrong. Chiropractic is IMPORTANT and can truly heal even those who sustained some trauma to the body. I couldn't thank her enough for how much she's changed my life! read more

You know how some people come into your life at exactly the right moment.. that's Dr. Mary for me. She has worked miracles on my broken college softball and basketball playing body. I've seen a bunch of chiropractors and she has made the biggest impact on me. She also is the most humbled, kind, and positive person I have met. I leave her office after every visit not only feeing physically healed, but emotionally and spiritually also. She is genuine and cares deeply about full body wellness. You'll love her and her amazing staff also read more

I have chronic pain in both of my wrists and back from an incident when I was in high school, and Dr. McAndrews' adjustments have helped alleviate my pain greatly.

It doesn't matter what hurts, Dr. McAndrews is tremendously knowledgeable and has helped me with a number of different issues. The entire staff is incredibly kind and takes great effort to make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend giving them a chance! read more

I've seen Dr. McAndrews for 7 or 8 years now and I can say with full confidence that she is the best chiropractor in the area. I used to play multiple sports in high school and played a year of college football, so I would recommend any athlete to see Dr. McAndrews. She individualizes a treatment plan for YOU, so you get the best results. She also explains everything she does in depth, so you understand exactly what she is doing. Highly recommend 11/10! read more

I would highly recommend Dr McAndrews for your chiropractic care. I always leave her office smiling. read more

I have moderate scoliosis and psoriatic arthritis. Dr McAndrews has helped reduce my low back pain, headaches and jaw pain through patient, consistent manipulations. She has helped me manage a painful spine condition. I have seen many orthopedic doctors and chiropractors. When Dr. McAndrews relocated her office from Lake Bluff to Palatine, it was worth it for me to travel the extra distance. read more

If you are ever skeptical or not sure that chiropractic adjustments are the right thing for you, then you obviously haven't gone to the right place.

Everything happens for a reason! Was looking for a chiropractor for a few months with no luck. Was recommended Dr. Mary out of the blue and haven't looked again. Dr. Mary is a god-send, she vibes with any personality and makes you feel like youre more than family. That feeling is extended when you interact with the girls up front as well. It is a family practice in more ways than one. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Mary McAndrews for chiropractic care! My family and I live out of state and have yet to find anyone as capable, knowledgeable and compassionate as Dr. McAndrews.
