Copley Health Alliance

Prior to visiting Dr. D’Agostino I had no back or neck pain; I had never been to a chiropractor but I went because I was trying to be healthy and my friends told me they loved going to the chiropractor so I figured I’d give it a shot. However, I regret going. Dr. D’Agostino did a neck manipulation and twisted my neck too aggressively and too fast and I was in excruciating pain after. I called Dr. D’Agostino and asked her what to do 2 days later when the pain did not subside, and she was rude and dismissive and tried to blame me by asking «why I didn’t call sooner». I went to urgent care that evening. I was unable to turn my head or move it to either side and was in a lot of pain when having to hold my head up (sitting or standing). I returned to urgent care a few days after that for a check up. Muscle relaxers and staying in bed helped it feel better for a few days but as soon as I stopped taking the muscle relaxers and had to go back into the office to work, this pain returned full force and it was so severe that I went to the ER about a week after the manipulation. It has now been over two weeks and my neck is still in horrible shape and I am still in pain. The urgent care doctor as well as the doctors who saw me at the ER strongly suggested I go to physical therapy so I have an appointment to start it. This pain has been continuously affecting me every day and hurts from sitting up at my computer desk at work, or it starts when I walk for 10 minutes, growing in intensity if I continue walking. It affects what I am able to do and has been preventing me from doing my favorite activities. From my experience, I strongly suggest against going here, but if you go anyway, please be careful.

I LOVE Dr. D’Agostino! She knows her business and that’s vital when you have the need for chiropractic. Our family of 5 have seen her, some more than others, and she has always helped relieve our pains and really shown interest in our overall health not just her speciality. The Doc follows up to see how you’re doing and she’ll ensure that you get a call to come in if you’ve missed a bit of time. She knows that regular visits are important to maintain good spinal health and she doesn’t like to see people suffer. The office is clean, friendly, professional and they do a great job of taking the time needed to treat your needs. I never feel like I’m a number or that they’re rushing me through the process. The office is conviently located at the Copley T-​station, or has on street metered parking if you drive. Dr. D’Agostino is AWESOME and I highly recommend her and Copley Health Alliance.

Dr. D’Agostino is very helpful! I wouldn’t be able to get through my pregnancy with less pain without her help. I couldn’t walk normally because of hip and lower back pain, but her treatment has helped a ton! Staff is very kind and welcoming. Easy to get to, right off the Copley T stop from the Green Line.

Very effective care. Dr will listen to you and work through your issues with you. I wish I could say about all the physicians I see. My back issues are complex and tough to manage but I have noticed improvement in my well being and back health since I’ve started. Staff is very friendly. Overall great experience.

Hurt my lower back in the early morning — couldn’t even walk — by 9:30am it was unbearable — my coworker recommended Dr. Desiree — I called — had an appointment 20 minutes later — she did her magic that day and the next day and I’m now 100% — very impressed — I thought this was going to be a long injury — literally healed up within days. Maybe it was because of her, maybe it was the nature of the injury, but I would recommend either way!

Dr. Desiree D’Agostino is incredible! I hurt my back/​ribs helping to remove barriers after the Boston Marathon bombing and not only did she fix me up but she refused to take any money. Her way of giving back and helping out with her business being right there even tho she was away that sad day. Gotta appreciate that.
Very knowledgeable and thorough. Took care of me so well, I don’t know what to say. I would highly recommend her and will go back to her forever.

Dr. Dagostino is a great chiropractor. I’ve seen her for years! She takes time with you to review your progress at each visit. They also have massage therapists on site.

Long story short, before getting on a plane for a business trip to Boston I pulled a rib out of place. After a less than comfortable cross county trip from California I was in some kinda pain! The morning after I landed I called up —- in desperate need. They got me in and after an hour of work I could breath again. Thank you so much.

I just had my first visit yesterday and I am going back tomorrow. I was trying to see a chiropractor in my hometown of CT, commuting back and forth when I had the opportunity to get away certain weekends. My back issues needed more attention than the rare visit, and so I was recommended Desiree by my CT chiropractor. I was nervous because I knew my CT doc was gentle and effective; kind and knowledgeable. It also didn’t hurt that he was a family friend. So going into a new place in my new city was a little nerve wracking. I told Desiree all the wrong facts by accident (I called it «nerve damage» when it wasn’t even close!) but she figured it all out anyway. She explained scientifically and appropriately the issues in my back (information that corresponded with my previous doctor; apparently I just don’t listen and translate well). Desiree is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.
The only reason I gave CHA four stars out of five is because the treatment/​adjustment was a little more rough than I was used to and I felt extremely sore leaving when that wasn’t quite the case previously. According to the Admin Asst, however, soreness is usual and means its working. Let’s hope! Also, she didn’t do all the treatments my previous doc did, but I will be patient and see if that comes with future visits.
For now, I recommend Desiree and CHA.

Desiree is amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone. Not only has she helped me with my back pain, she has also been very concerned and helpful with other unrelated ailments. She is truly committed to total body health and is always willing to offer advice about how to achieve it. Her staff is sweet and welcoming and it is a pleasure to visit her office every time.

I have been treated by Desiree several times to help with some pain I’ve been having from a snowboarding accident. Desiree is knowledgeable and professional, and her treatments are very effective. After my first treatment, my back and neck felt so much better, after 3 treatments, I feel back to normal again. Desiree also will take the time to explain why my back felt the way it did while I was injured, and why chiropractic care is so vital in healing.

Dr. D’Agostino is a terrific chiropractor, hands down the best I’ve ever worked with. The staff is very professional, and they get you in and out quickly. I’ve had great results with their work. Highly recommended!

This is a great place for back care! I called the day before Thanksgiving after straining my back raking leaves a few days prior. The pain was awful. I was able to get an appointment that day and the office staff called my insurance company prior to my visit to find out my chiropractic coverage.
Once I was in the office, I was given excellent electric stimuli on my back, plus ultrasound, plus some adjustments. After three visits, I feel much better.
I also appreciate the education that Dr. D’Dagostino has given me about my back and its healing process.
