I first came here and had an appointment with Dr. Andrew. It went well, liked the way he adjusted…read moreme, listened to my concerns, and his thoroughness. After a couple sessions he mentioned the massage therapist and how it could help with my pain. So I booked an hour with Cathy. She is the sweetest lady I've met and is also very gentle and thorough. I usually like more pressure so I see their other therapist Griff. If you like someone with strong hands Griff is your guy. A few moths go by and life is great. Love my treatment plan, and have no complaints other than the front desk staffer is a bit curt. A few more months go by and I get into a car accident (Sept 2019). This was the worst, because my body was in so much pain. I go to my regularly scheduled massage and am told all my following doctors appointments must be cancelled until I see the doctor for a new initial visit. Okay, not too big of a deal right? WRONG! The next appointment the doctor has available is 3 weeks away! Mind you- I'm in immense pain and am so stiff from the accident. I had a last appointment of the day with Dr. Andrew on the books (previously scheduled) and asked if we can just make that my "new initial visit" appointment. Apparently the new initial appointment visit is a 45 min appointment and my previous booking was only 30. So, you assume I've been seeing Dr. Andrew for over a year now and he just stays the extra 15 mins that day and sees me, right? WRONG AGAIN! I even ask the receptionist to speak with the doctor and explain the predicament to see if he can make this change and help me with the pain I'm in.... nope- answer is no. Well, you can only imagine how upsetting that is. So my adjustments get cancelled for 3 weeks straight until I can see Dr. Andrew for this "new visit". A week and a half later I come in for my normally scheduled massage and am told I cannot see Griff, because I have not done the new patient visit. I'm confused & dying inside because I've been looking forward to this massage for 2 weeks, so I can get some relief from the pain and stiffness I am in. Well this same not so lovely, terrible customer service, front desk staffer tells me I cannot see anyone until this "new visit". What?!? If you knew that 2-weeks ago why did you not tell me that upfront and cancel this appointment, instead of letting me go out of my way to get off early and show up for it!?!? Well at this point I start seeing Emrys (another massage therapist) more and tell him when he is being too hard on me. He is very good a therapeutic masseuse and that is what my body needed. Things are dandy for a few weeks, until I call and have to make some adjustments to my previously scheduled appointments. Found out insurance isn't covering some stuff so I had to cut back on massages and adjustments for the rest of the year. No biggie, cancelled some and re-booked others. Came in today for my end of the day appointment with Emrys and the front desk staffer looks at me and asks why I'm there. I say for my appointment, as she says "we don't have you on the books today". Uhhh what?! I double check my calendar and yep- there it is. She says that all my appointments were cancelled. So I was not going to be seen this week or in two weeks when I had my other appointment I made over the phone. All of this was said with little to no remorse or consideration. Call me crazy, but I was about to lose my mind. I have now been coming here for almost 2 years and am just blown off with a "that's not my fault and those appointments have been booked for someone else" - what?!?! I cannot even believe that this was happening or that it was all being handled so lightly. At this point I don't even know what to do. On the one hand I love the chiropractor and massage therapist, but cannot stand the treatment I receive from the front desk staff.

Recently I…read moretweaked my back overdoing it as many of us do and I couldn't walk standing straight up I was in so much pain.

You're a life saver!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for relief in their life!!

I love, love, love Gainesville Holistic Healthcare! I had a fall back in October that resulted in…read moreseveral scars on my face. One was a dime-sized bump above my upper lip that was itchy, red, sensitive, and ugly. It was so painful that I couldn't even go over it with a washcloth and it stuck out so far that you could see it from the side. My other bad scar area was actually inside my bottom lip. This scar was tight and I didn't have any feeling at all in half of my bottom lip. I went to Gainesville Holistic Healthcare to check out microcurrent point stimulation (MPS). The staff there worked with me to find a routine that worked for me. I ended up going twice a week for 15 minutes each to manage all of my scars. By the end of the first month, the scar above my upper lip was flat, less red, and not painful at all anymore. The scar inside my bottom lip was pretty abnormal, but Traci worked with me to find the best protocol. By November, I finally started to get feeling back in my bottom lip, and the scars didn't feel nearly as tight. I seriously can't express how great this place is. The staff are all nice, welcoming, and extremely accommodating. Face injuries are so personal, and they were just as happy as I was every time I hit a new milestone in my healing. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else for my MPS treatments. By the way - their waiting room is awesome. It's full of paintings, jewelry, and candles by local artists, and most are for sale. They also have an awesome selection of natural remedies and CBD products. 10/10!!

Dr. Zuluaga is the best chiropractor I've ever been to. I've been seeing chiropractors since the…read morelate 1980's and have been treated by many between all the cities I've lived in. Dr. Z is the most thorough and complete one of them all. Best of all he actually listens, which is a rare quality in health care these days. His approach is to treat the root cause of the problem rather than mask it. I'm at the point where I live with almost no pain rather than the constant pain and tightness I felt before. That's 100% because of his capabilities as a chiropractor. He doesn't push silly add-ons like a lot of other chiropractors I've visited, he keeps it where it needs to be: adjustments, instruction on how to lift/move/sit correctly, effective icing of inflamed areas, and healing exercises. If you need a chiropractor who will give you results, Dr. Z is your man. I can't stress how much he's helped my life.

Thanks to Dr. Zuluaga my lifestyle of living has improved significantly. I will never be able to express my gratitude!

Bodies In Balance is pretty much my sanctuary. I was referred here by a friend a year ago. I'd…read morenever had acupuncture so I was a little nervous of the unknown and put it off for a little. I ended up going to see Carlos and I was pretty stressed out at the time. The 1st appt is the longest where they go through your full medical history, anything causing stress, pain, etc. Carlos suggested I try at least 3 appts to start so he could get a good "clearing" and see where to go from there. I know you can't expect a complete life change from 1 appt so I told him I was committed to going on a regular basis to try and help myself. I'm personally an insomniac and the stress was making things worse to where I couldn't shut my brain off at all. The first round during the appt I was still pretty stressed so he did another round to bump me into relaxation. I actually fell asleep and he left me to relax and sleep for a while. I'm not kidding you when I say I walked out of my first appt with energy, feeling rejuvenated and in a better headspace all together! The needles don't hurt and if you have a fear of needles I still think you can benefit from acupuncture because it's not like getting blood drawn or anything like that. Carlos is a true professional and absolutely amazing at what he does. I've been coming here for a long time now and if you are a regular they have a monthly membership that makes things even more cost efficient. I can notice a difference if I've had to reschedule an appt and don't make my every 2wk mark. This has helped my stress, migraines, health in general and so much more. I can't tell you how much this has helped me and I know it can do the same for anyone who comes here. Call them up and make an appt, their hours and days are pretty flexible to fit any schedule.

This place is one of the better chiropractic clinics I have used during this whole time! Such personal service!

They knew my back was severely injured and I was out of a job. It was there mistake because they said my insurance would cover the appointments.

I didn't get the sense anybody there genuinely cares. They strike me as in it soley for the money. Bad business practice. I will never return and won't recommend this practice to anybody.

Nevertheless, I was very satisfied with my first visit because I was welcomed warmly by the receptionist and seen by the doctor on time with ample discussion about the prognosis, future visits, and was sent on my way. This is what efficient and effective chiropractic care looks like. I am grateful that my father recommended Family Chiropractic Center to me while I am away at college. As a student with intramural sports, and many late nights studying, I recognize I put lots of strain on my body's innate ability to heal itself: ergo chiropractic is the perfect intervention for me.

They take my insurance (Aetna) which even covered copay once I got a referral from my general practitioner, and it was right by my major's department on UF campus which was super convenient. The primary reason I stopped going was because my schedule changed and now I work or have class during ALL their opening hours which are only 3 days a week anyway - pretty common for chiropractors. However I reached a point where I started to feel like it wasn't helping as much as I'd hoped. I still have a lot of upper neck pain and I had to ask for recommendations as far as exercises and stretches that would relieve the pain. Dr. Schargel gave me a few pointers, but he did it so quickly that when I tried it on my own, I'm pretty sure I did it wrong. He's very sweet and clearly passionate about what he does but sometimes his enthusiasm takes over and it leaves you feeling a little rushed. I'm not sure that's the correct description. Maybe a better explanation would be to say that he always seemed in a hurry to get you better but with all that energy, he may have skipped over some crucial steps. I got more information from UF's massage therapist who explained to me that my neck problems were caused by the strain of leaning over sketch pads and paintings, and she took almost 25 minutes to give me informational packets with the phone numbers of other locations on campus that would help me check my posture and spinal stress for free. She also gave me detailed instructions on how to take stress off my upper and lower back which I found a lot more helpful.
