Patrick Bennett, DC

Came here for some back pain and the doctor put some ice on it for 20 mins and told me to eat organic foods to make it better. Seriously? Save your money!

I have been receiving adjustments from Dr. Bennett for about 10 years. I sought out a chiropractor in my neighborhood for the occassional stiff neck, etc, that cause us to seek help in the first place. I cannot be more happy that I found Dr. Bennett. Since I’ve been getting routine adjustments, the chronic headaches are gone, I feel better, have more energy, dont get the annual flu, and the list goes on. I like the flow of his practice as it’s fairly low key and casual, but very professional. The staff has always been so friendly and upbeat, and I look forward to talking with them.
Natural healing is an art, and Dr. Bennett is a truly wonderful artist.

I cannot recommend this guy. I walked in with extreme lower back pain and leg numbness. He gave me a $ 100 x-​ray, then proceeded to adjust my neck without looking at the pictures. He then made me pay an additional $ 400 for a month’s worth of visits. I was in serious pain, so I put it on my card. Mistake.
My pain got worse and he told me to «walk it off» and that «you can’t expect straight teeth the moment you put on braces.» I told him we were dealing with my leg which is more serious than crooked teeth and the pain got worse with every visit. He scared me by saying 75% of surgeries are botched. Every visit was the same: ice for 10 minutes in a room with 5 other people watching you, then 2 minutes of very hard and painful back cracking.
When I called his assistant to tell her I need to have a surgical consultation, she almost cried and begged me to continue with «doctor patrick.» Waco-​style weirdness here. I got into it twice over the phone with Bennett who refused to believe that I had a herniated disk, although the symptoms were obvious. He didn’t even believe the MRI that confirmed the problem, saying MRIs are «usually wrong.» Huh?
Bottom line: all the adjustments are the same. Lower back pain, neck pain, leg pain… you get the same routine and the same brisk treatment. I ended up getting surgery and I feel much better than I did for over a month of going to this guy. I shudder to think what would’ve happened had I not gotten a 2d opinion.
