I made an appt for an adjustment due to an accident. When I called to make the appointment, they…read morewere three weeks out. That was actually great because the nature of my accident meant that I couldn't get adjusted right away. I sent them my insurance information, which is Kaiser, and waited patiently for my appointment. On the day that I arrived, the receptionist informed me that they would be charging me an extra $40 on top of my co-pay because "Kaiser is very unhelpful, doesn't pay them enough or in a timely manner" I was not willing to pay additional money outside of my co-pay for their "inconvenience". So I left and I sent a follow-up email to the owner. Not necessarily about the fee, but the lack of communication leading up to the appt. They KNEW I had Kaiser and it would have been a great time to communicate the additional fee. Also, if it is such a pain, why do they even accept Kaiser insurance. See below for my email to the clinic and the owners arrogant and unprofessional response : Me: Well - like I told you- and you were very nice- I just wish I had been notified prior to my appt that you were going to charge me extra because I had Kaiser Insurance. I haven't been to a new chiro in a few years- but I've never been charged extra outside of what my insurance will pay for my care. It was a massive inconvenience to schedule this appt 3 weeks in advance, right in the middle of my workday - just to be told my copay I was expecting would be more than double. I even sent the info over that I was a Kaiser patient weeks ago. If you look at the prior email thread. That would have been a great time to inform me of the additional charge. I was just looking for a chiropractor- I don't need any general practice care or office exams- I see my PCP on a reg basis. And it wasn't made clear there would be additional services or charges besides just a chiropractic exam. I guess- long story short- I just wish communication had been more clear up front. Robs response: Lacye, I'm sorry that you were disappointed by the extra charge on top of your copay. Here's the deal: CHP pays us an amount that is downright insulting. My compromise was to continue to see patients and let them use their insurance but I had to charge them extra due to the extremely low reimbursement rates. For example, (as I have kaiser insurance as well), an MD who does a 20min telehealth visit gets around $230 via kaiser. I get for a 30min visit $44 including your copay, which is insulting and is also untenable to continue to stay in practice. Now if you are only looking for a quick 10min visit then I'm sure you'll find plenty of places that you can get that type of in/out treatment. However, we go above and beyond, we treat first visits for an hour and follow ups for 30mins, as we want to address all issues in a holistic way, meaning not just address your pain, but also where it's coming from and why it's happening. We are required to do an exam at the first visit and after it has been 6mos since the prior visit. Thus, the only way to continue to keep accepting CHP/Kaiser was to charge patients extra money since they don't cover soft tissue work, extremity adjustments or any type of extremity work, etc.. They only pay for a spinal adjustment, which is like 5-10mins of our time. In the future you could get a referral from your primary and then their wouldn't be an extra charge as an option. I truly would rather not do this type of thing, but I couldn't stay in business if I was to accept what they paid me. Thanks for your time and understanding, and also not understanding about how insurance works and thinking, what? That we were trying to screw you over? That we were being dishonest? Did you stop to think about reimbursement rates, about how long we spend with you? About how much time we spend actually touching your body, listening to you? Does your MD do that? Do they actually touch you, feel where you're having issues? Probably not. If you'd like to reconsider paying us, that would be great! If not, then you can rest with the guilt that a doctor spent their time with you and you couldn't be bothered to understand what your insurance actually pays out and you walked out. Dr. Rob Bodner, DC, LMT ^***********************************************^ Needless to say- I'm reporting this to Kaiser and the chiropractic board for review.

This business operates on the assumption everyone wants dogs near them and a part of their experience. I will say I saw that this provider had a dog on their website but didn't realize all professionalism would be lost when I CHOSE (we still have this right, right?) to decline this assumption. Rather than ask in advance of my 3rd appointment, the doctor brought out his pup and asked if it was okay. Awkwardly, I stated I preferred not and the chiropractor just wouldn't let it go. After this treatment where he belittled me for not loving dogs, he said I'd need three more visits. Since my provider only authorized the initial three, I understood that he would need to request more. Funny, there's been no request on his end and I've been feeling fine without the visits. One strength I will acknowledge is that in my first visit I was frightened and he was very communicative about process and every step and action he was doing to correct the pain. Honestly, all that kind of goes out the door when there's not mutual respect of treating others how they want to be treated (vs assuming).

And all various sorts of everyday incidents that throw us off kilter - Peter has improved the quality of my activity and life along the way. I am incredibly grateful for the care and skill he provides! Just this week, after (yet) another trail half marathon that left me in discomfort, one visit to Peter identified one femur was "a bit jammed" and a few other things needed some significant attention and I now feel as good as ever again.

Please be warned that you will have a start time for your appointment, but the end time is open ended and could be 3 to 4 hours. I was his patient for weeks before I had an adjustment and became very frustrated by having to wait in the room while he took phone calls, Interacted with his staff and other patients. It was the most chaotic practice I've ever experienced. Sadly, not only did I not improve but on my last appointment he injured my elbow, which I later found would not improve with chiropractor adjustments because I had tennis elbow. I could not use my arm and it was very painful for three days. They do not value your time and this doctor does much more conversation than proper treatment. After several appointments with my new chiropractor (Laurel Hurst- Trolly Bldg), I am so much better with traction, heat wirh a one hour massage before my adjustment for better results. The best thing about this office is the staff and the amazing massage therapist.

The acupuncture side of the business has been a bit hit or miss of late, but I'd certainly recommend Dr Kenyon's expertise any day of the week. She's a true expert in her field and has helped me in many ways. Lindsay Pelley is a WONDERFUL chiropractor, and this review is not meant to disparage the very good work the aforementioned professionals have provided me over the years. However, I have found the practice to be changing in recent months- they've taken the doors off of treatment rooms, and sometimes when I book an appointment, they will substitute someone new, that I don't have a relationship with, and it makes me feel rather vulnerable. I think they should at least let me know that my preferred provider is unavailable. It feels like a surprise when someone else is treating me, and I don't know them. That's not what I want in a health care office. That's... not health care. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of. I've built trust with the staff there over the years, but lately things feel weird. Not sure where the management intends to take this practice, but I'll be taking a break from it for a while.

While I absolutely love the staff at Pure Life, Dr Pelley, Savannah, Sam and Dr Kenyon, I am…read moreterribly disappointed by the changes the owners recently made to their services. They have opted to remove the doors to the treatment rooms in order to speed up treatments and move more bodies through the clinic. This takes away any privacy patients once had to discuss personal medical information during their intake. It also takes away a sense of safety for their treatment. A nervous system cannot move into a healing state when it feels like it needs to be on guard in a room with no door. When I reached out to the owner about my concerns I was told that "change is hard" and that "anyone who has experienced trauma will be referred to a therapist that can help them with that." The problem is that we have all experienced trauma and continue to on a regular basis. And receiving bodywork like chiropractic is something that should be done in an environment that feels safe to the body and nervous system. Everything about these changes is saying profit over people and it has left a bad taste in my mouth. Unfortunately I no longer feel comfortable recommending the clinic to my friends and community. I will continue to go see Dr. P and team for now because I am still hoping the owners will see what a huge misstep this is and will choose to listen to the feedback from their patients. I also opted to write the yelp review because I have sent multiple emails trying to explain why this choose is so incongruent with true healthcare and every single time I was told that the changes are there to provide better care for their patients. I would love to see the staff happy again and receive care in a safe environment.
