Dr. Mike saved my life and I mean that!…read more Fast forward to April when I received a faulty massage at a place not well known. They spent a lot of unnecessary time on my neck using dangerous techniques that ended up causing me months pain, money, and distress. Shortly after my massage I started to suffer from vertigo, high heart rate upon standing, heart palpitations, coat hanger pain, dizziness, low blood pressure -- and even passing out. This led me to the ER several times, I've had 7 CT scans since April, I was diagnosed with anxiety and given medication that I knew I didn't need. I was told that I had POTS and given beta blockers that I knew I didn't need. I spent months at the doctor. Cardiologist, neurologist, PCP, another chiropractor before I finally found Nucca and Dr. Mike. I knew this issue started with that massage and I knew Something was wrong with my neck. When Dr. Mike did his evaluation, he immediately noticed that I was extremely misaligned. He explained to me what all of the measurements he was taking meant, and as the appointment went on, all of my concerns were validated. I knew that I was right all along, and I was finally going to find some answers. He did x-rays to ensure that my atlas was truly misaligned. The x-rays showed what we could already tell from the measurements, my atlas was completely sideways. He did his adjustment which was painless and gentle. He then took x-rays again to ensure that we had got it back in place. I stood up and immediately could feel a difference in my brain. It was almost like all the blood came rushing back up to my head. Which is essentially exactly what happened. I checked my heart rate when I stood up and it was back to normal, the first time since April that it was not 140 when standing. I was amazed. Since he aligned me almost all of my symptoms have subsided. No more brain fog, no more dizziness, no more high heart rate, no more anxiety attacks, heart palpitations and the list goes on. My wedding is in November and I was terrified I wouldn't be able to stand at the alter without passing out. Dr. Mike gave me my life back and I'm so grateful! I will send anyone I know to him!! 10x10 recommend!

My father lives at Linden House now. He has been there a year. The first 6 months he was still self…read morecare, remembered to bathe and change his clothing. However, his bed was hardly ever made and trash would pile up. I complained once about this to the director, I saw a brief improvement, and then a few Covid cases hit the facility and both staff and residents were affected. Residents were having to eat in their rooms on disposable plates and food and trash were piling up. I live close by, so I would go frequently and clean his room, putting the trash in bags piled up outside his door. After all of this was over, and things settled some, I did see things getting somewhat better, at least with trash pickup. When norovirus hit the facility in February, my father's dementia was already worsening. He had an incident of diarrhea in the dining room. He continued to not be able to make it to the bathroom in his room, and the staff did an excellent job of taking care of him and cleaning him up, and cleaning his room and carpet. We were told several residents had the same symptoms. My husband and I were concerned and visited with gloves and masks. We expressed concern about the caretakers and other residents, because no one was placed in isolation and my father continued to go to the dining room even though his symptoms lasted several days. His aids told us that the isolation of residents needed to come from their superiors. At this point, my father's dementia worsens weekly, and we have a schedule, with the staff to help him bathe and change his clothing 3 times a week. We feel we have to continually keep on top of it, because I find that if I relax at all, my father will not get bathed or get his clothing changed. I have found that doing my father's laundry myself, has been very telling. One week he went 5 days without a change of clothes even though he had showered. Anytime I suggest that maybe more caretakers are needed on day shift to get everything done, I am told that they have plenty of staff, and they will be "spoken to". The director and director of wellness have both stopped answering my emails. Another concern to think about if considering the Linden House is physical safety. As my father's dementia has worsened, and he has no idea that the pendant around his neck can be pushed for help, and as his knee continues to hurt and give out on him, and he forgets that he needs to use a walker, we requested he be monitored closer. We asked if we could put a non recording video with audio in his bedroom, in case he falls during the night, someone (my husband and myself), would hear him calling out. We were told the policy is we could have a non recording video, but no audio. Well, that would defeat the whole purpose, because we would have the audio in our room at night, while we were asleep, so we could hear him call out. Just like you would use a baby monitor. The compromise was that he would get every two hour checks. Our problem is trusting that the checks will actually happen, since there seems to be very little oversight to patient care. As to why we don't move him. #1 he is only 5 minutes from my house, #2 it would be very hard for him to move to a new place with his worsening dementia and he seems happy at Linden House. He doesn't notice not changing clothing or his bed not made, or if he doesn't get a shower. #3 there would be no guarantee that the grass would be greener anywhere else. I will just have to resolve the fact that I must keep on top of things and people will listen. Some good things about Linden House: I have found the aids to be kind and seem to know my father. The physical therapists and occupational therapists are awesome and excellent!!

When my son's orthodontist told me he was going to need 4 teeth removed before he could be fitted…read morewith braces, I was nervous. We had left our long-time dentist due to a falling out over poor care and billing issues, and I didn't feel comfortable simply picking out an appropriate dentist out of the phone book. Upon our orthodontist's recommendation, we went to see Dr. Alcorn. My 13-year-old son was understandably anxious, but Dr. Alcorn's staff could not have been more considerate and understanding. They made him feel as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. They gave me the option to sit in on the procedure, but I didn't because my son absolutely forbid it. So I sat in the waiting area, wondering if he was doing okay. Dr. Alcorn came out to tell me that he did well, and was happy to answer the few questions I had. My son told me that his hygienist was "cool", which is high praise indeed from him! A week later, I took my son back for a checkup on the gums where his teeth had been removed, and to have the remaining adult molars sealed to help guard against future cavities. At the same time, I had my 10-year-old daughter in for her cleaning. Both kids said they liked the hygienists that were working with them. I will say this, Dr. Alcorn has a no-nonsense way about her. She is definitely not the "warm fuzzy" type, although her receptionist and her hygienists are. If you are a very sensitive individual that prefers to be coddled a bit, then Dr. Alcorn is probably not a good match for you. There are some highly regarded dentists in Charlottesville that specialize in sedated dentistry, that might prove a better fit. For my family, however, Dr. Alcorn and her staff turned out to be just what we needed!

I've been attending Dr. Ellen Kelly since January but waited on my review because I didn't want to…read morejinx things. Now though the full outcome of the subsequent work Dr. Kelly did for me (today Nov. 20) remains to be seen I feel compelled to share my experience at this practice and with this super smart and wonderful practitioner. First of all, because the root canal I needed done by Dr. Kelly was on roots that go in weird directions she had her work cut out for her. Yet, wow did Dr. Kelly patiently embrace the challenges of that, gently trying to reach all angles of my roots. More importantly all the while she communicated clearly and honestly, including not promising her work would succeed. As valuable to me too was that several times in the past year when I needed reassurance about the progress or not of the healing she willingly had me come in to check things out. Then when she felt things weren't healing satisfactorily she wanted to do today's procedure (an apicoectomy) to try and reach the root end that couldn't be reached the regular root canal route. Now having had two procedures with Dr. Kelly and witnessed her consummate skill with these gnarly procedures, that she manages with a lively, caring, and sometimes wonderfully humorous demeanor, I feel she deserves this review even if this work fails too. And of course if it succeeds it will only be thanks to this gifted practitioner. Thank you SO much Dr. Kelly for making this journey much less stressful. Thank you Schuyler, for your warmth and what you do by Dr. Kelly's side. Yor are an invaluable presence during these procedures. Also, thank you Cindy, and Kelsey (forgive me if my spelling is incorrect) for how responsive you are on the phone and when I arrive for my appointments. Your presences are much needed too. PS I will return in a few months to report hopefully on the full recovery of my apicoectomy.
