Crack... crack... and voila! What a relief! (Maybe that was a little too much or no?) haha! My husband's been to the chiropractor before but I generally try avoiding it all together, let's say I'm a little scared, for no apparent reason. Today, my husband woke up with sharp pain in between his shoulders and called the chiropractor's office. Thankfully, Dr. Gurj Kalay takes walk-ins and new patients and we were in his office right after lunch, (first star granted for convenience). As we walked in, the office was new and clean and that extra touch of background music.. really set the mood, a little classic 70's never hurt nobody, (second star granted for atmosphere/ambience). We were greeted by Dr. Kalay and filled out some paperwork and as soon as we were done, we were right in the back patient room. Dr. Kalay got right to the point and explained thoroughly about what he was about to do and what is going to happen (third star granted for being diligent). He first started off with the massage machine, to loosen up the back muscles. So far a charming doctor, and his bed side manner was great. Believe it or not, we were having some laughs throughout the whole treatment and we didn't even notice how fast he adjusted my husbands back. When Dr. Kalay asked my husband how he feels, he said " so much better, but still a little discomfort". This is where I wanted to see if the doctor listens to his patients needs, and we weren't feeling rushed. He massaged my husbands back where there was pain and kept asking him questions about his discomfort, while going back to massage the areas until there was improvement. As soon my husband started to feel a lot better, doctor took us to another room where he used this muscle stimulator machine (with those sticky things that send electrical impulses.. not sure what it's called but fourth star granted for being attentive and exceeding patients needs). The husband relaxed for 10 minutes with the machine on and I'm glad I got to witness the whole procedure. Honestly, I felt so comfortable, that I got the courage to mention my sciatica pain to Dr. Kalay. He told me he's willing to help me by, showing me some stretches I can do on my own time and he can adjust my back too.. like TODAY! My heart rate sky rocketed but I know what it's all about.. I'm a champ, I got this! Crack.. crack.. ta-daaaa!!! Seriously, it felt great.. why didn't I ever come here sooner! I've made a decision, I'm considering to come back, not only for the laughs but for the relief and great patient care we got! Here we have it folks.. fifth star granted because I actually got the chiropractor service myself and I'm glad I did! read more
