Verve Chiropractic Group

Not sure why this place has a average rating.
I’ve been going to chiropractics for years and these guys are by far the best around.
Most places want to get you in and out, rotate tables, so you feel like wham, bam thank you maam.
Not Verve. They take their time with you and make you feel like they really care you get better. They do such a good job (2 visits and less pain already) that I don’t mind the 11 mile drive.

after incurring intense lower back pain, I searched for a good chiropractor and discovered Dr Warkentin at the rateMDs website (under the Top 10 Chiropractors in the World) — what astounded me was that he had about 350 reviews (412 as of today), absolutely dwarfing the number of reviews for all other listed chiropractors — I also found out, to my surprise, that his clinic (actually a full-​scale wellness center) was only about 15 minutes away — I made an appointment and was able to see him the same day — I had a full set of X-​rays done — Dr Warkentin showed me the pertinent X-​ray and provided an unrushed and thorough explanation of what was causing the pain in my back — he also pointed out areas that could lead to problems down the road — I was then put on a roller table, received electrical stimulation, had some adjustments done, and concluded the visit with cold laser therapy — subsequent visits added use of a spinal decompression machine — I also received instruction from his associate Dr Wolsey (who has a master’s degree in Exercise Science) about how to strengthen my core muscles to provide support for my spine — after about 2 weeks worth of visits, about 90 to 95 percent of the pain was relieved /​/​I’ve seen other chiropractors in the past — how Dr Warkentin conducts his practice blows them out of the water — it’s evident his goal is excellence in terms of the quality of care he seeks to provide and the physical environment in which it’s done (e.g. the patient restrooms resemble that of a luxury hotel; also, there is meticulous attention paid to upkeep, which explains why his large facility still looks new after 8 years) — in addition to being very personable and super sharp, Dr Warkentin is extraordinarily skilled at diagnosing conditions, going well beyond what the normal chiropractor is capable of doing (he’s caught life-​threatening problems that patients’ physicians have missed, even though they’re not in his official realm of expertise) — he attends surgeries weekly with some of the most skilled doctors in the Valley (neuro, spine, cardiovascular, etc.) to enhance his diagnostic capabilities — Dr Warkentin also has a desire to give back — e.g. he goes out of his way to provide affordable care to fire dept and military personnel — another example: he took a week off earlier this year to provide his expertise on a medical missions trip to Africa /​/​Dr Warkentin sets an example and standard of what quality medical care should be like — he doesn’t market — he obtains all his business by word-​of-​mouth — and having experienced first hand how he treats his patients, I now understand why his marketing budget is non-​existent — some of his patients fly to his clinic to be treated by him, rather than visit a nearby local chiropractor — you can add me to the list of his fans — almost forgot, one last item to mention: on the day of my initial visit, Dr Warkentin gave me a call later in the evening to see how I was doing — it was completely unexpected — how many doctors bother to do that? — a most well deserved 5 stars!

At the end of May my wife’s grandfather passed away and while I was sitting in the church waiting for the services to start I see Dr. Warkentin walk in and give a round of hugs to the immediate family. That’s just the kind of guy he is, so much more than a doctor. We will continue to use Verve for all our Chiropractic needs.

I called the Verve Wellness Center first thing this morning and requested an appointment within a matter of hours — I have been having extreme headaches everyday for the last 6 days and finally couldn’t take it any more. I’ve never been to a chiropractor before, but after today, I’m never going without again. They did X-​rays and were able to give me real answers to my pain, then after some fantastic adjustments by a great doctor, I walked out feeling honestly a ton better. The ambiance is magnificent, including a wall-​sized waterfall, top of the line coffee accommodations, and tons of comfortable seating in the waiting area. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone. They also have Primary Care Physicians, Dentists, Physical Therapists, and tons of other different doctors providing other care necessities. Consider me a huge fan and a permanent customer :-)

Very disappointed with this office. My first visit they tried to charge me $ 125 even though I have insurance and a $ 25 copayment. They said if I overpay, they would refund the difference. When I said never mind, they called my insurance to verify and collected my $ 25. I was brought back and put on a roller bed for about 15 minutes, then put on the adjustment table and hooked up to some electronic muscle stimulator for another 15 or so minutes, then I was finally seen. The doc did about 4 adjustments and sent me on my way, asking me to come back in about 3 days. The next appt, I went back and there was a big dog walking around the office. I thought it was odd but went and got x-​rays, then the exact same process as the previous trip except this time I only got 2 adjustments. Again, I was asked to come back in another week. The next appt was the worst. I had scheduled an appt and went in about 5 minutes early. I sat and waited 30 minutes and actually stood up to tell e receptionist never mind when some meathead guy called my name to go back. Again, first stop was the roller table but on the way there, meathead 1 ran into meathead customer 2 and went on to have a conversation while I was just standing there waiting. Kinda lame. Then table for 15 mins. While I was there, meathead asked me what I was being seen for. I stated I was in for a followup about a mid-​back issue I had. En he brought me in two the exam room and put the electro things on my lower back and asked again if that was where I had issues. I reminded him it was my mid back and he moved the sensors up. 15 or so later, meathead ends up being the doc and AGAIN asks where my problem areas are. AGAIN I state I am in for a follow up only and it was my mid back that was causing me issues but it was feeling better. Meathead did one adjustment, said everything felt fine and I could come back whenever I wanted. I asked what he suggested and his response was «2 weeks, a month, whatever.» he then pointed towards the door, then cut me off and stood in front of the door talking to meathead customer 3 blocking me into another dumb «bro» conversation. A made a follow up for 3 weeks later but conveniently missed my appt. The first visit wasn’t horrible, but wasn’t great. Second was more questionable, the third was unacceptable. I will not step foot into this place again and wouldn’t send anyone less than an enemy here.
