I hurt my back shoveling snow and could barely move without severe pain. Washa chiropractic was the nearest to me so I called to set up an appointment. The receptionist had very nasty attitude and seemed eager to speak down me. When I arrived for my appointment and got to meet her in person, she was a lot worse. I'm a disabled veteran and stay at home dad so I left the 'employer' line on her form blank. She announced to the entire waiting room that I had filled her form out incorrectly and and asked where I worked. I told her my situation, "so you don't work?" I tell her that's right, "you're unemployed? You don't have a job?" loud as could be. When she felt I'd been appropriately shamed for my failure to fill out the form I was allowed to wait. She let some other patients who hadn't arrived yet in before me. Once I was called to see the chiropractor (45 minutes after my scheduled appointment) he sat me down asked about my disability, and then corrected me about it in a condescending tone. Now, I think that my regular doctor might know more about it than the guy cracking backs next to a Carpet One but, I'm in a lot of pain so, I didn't want to argue. I went into the exam room and he did an adjustment and showed me some stretches while making fun of my t-shirt (an old Harry Potter shirt) and asking which of children was "a little sh#t" because there's always one. My back did feel better so they earned that star but, the overwhelming hostility of everyone in the clinic made for the most unpleasant experience I've ever had in a "professional" setting I recommend anywhere else if you need a chiropractor, the experience there was as painful as my injury! read more
