Team Chiropractic Corporation

My Husband has been seeing Dr Short for 14 years. Initially he had redicular injuries from working at his commuter and holding the phone incorrectly. His adjustments allowed his body to heal from the inside out. Instead of being on toxic medicine and unnecessary surgery. He also suffered from carpal tunal injuries which are no longer effecting him.
I also have seen dr short now for 10 years and my neck is a mess because of old gymnastic injuries. I am super picky about who I receive care from. Dr Short does a great job. He’s a great guy and a knowledgable healer.

They ran a special for Massage and Chiro evaluation and my son bought it for me for my B’Day. I wanted the massage only. I was told that was fine. Called, made appointment, SAID I was looking forward to the massage. They didn’t say anything on the phone. I drive all the way down there and am told they don’t offer massage. What a rip-​off.

Dr. Short is so personable. Great guy to work with!!! He really goes out of his way to help you and try to get you back in shape!

As for his chiropractic care… I’m not sure I can say much negative things since I didn’t stick around long enough (2 visits) My review though is on his business practices and his behavior towards me. Just like the other reviews say, he is not shy when it comes to talking about how he runs a business and how he has to feed his family. Interpret that how you will but none of my other healthcare professionals which I do business with do this.
VISIT 1:
I asked him if he has handled auto accident injuries before and his response was he has handled MANY auto accident injury cases. He also assured me that his office will accept my health insurance before I agreed to render his chiropractic services. We talked more about my occupation and living style rather than my injury. I guess he had to confirm I’m in a profession that could cover the bills in case my health insurance acceptance was revoked. This is only my opinion.
VISIT 2:
I was informed his office does not accept my insurance. He didn’t tell me this until after he treated me.
SIDE NOTE:
In my experience, it is normal, in auto accident injury cases, that the chiropractor be paid after the case has settled. I’ve participated in this rodeo before from accidents in the past and I know how this process works. He also tried to talk me into dumping my current lawyer and using a lawyer that he knows… THANK GOD I didn’t do that.
1 MONTH LATER:
My lawyers inform him that there is no money to pay him until the case is settled. He then decides to try to collect from me directly to bypass my lawyer. I let my lawyers know and whatever my lawyers said to him got him off my back.
9 MONTHS LATER:
Fast forward 9 months, my case is settled. His charges on 2 visits is almost 50% of the costs of the other chiropractor I saw for 18 visits.
Guess who calls me less than a week I was informed the case has settled and money will be sent out… you guessed it, Dr. Short. All paperwork confirms he has been included in the settlement to be paid out. He asks how I’m doing and then goes straight to asking if I received my settlement money yet. Money has been on this guy’s mind since day one. I don’t have any settlement money anywhere yet!!! I understand that this is a business and he needs to get paid but if he has handled many auto accident cases like he claims he has, why are you talking to me about money? Guess what, I missed 3 weeks of work and I haven’t been paid a dime yet either!
So 2 things have happened that made dealing with Dr. Short a bad experience
#1: He accepts my insurance. Then tells me he does not accept it after 2 treatments.
#2: He assures me I should not worry about costs and proceed with his treatments but tells me after the second visit that he needs me to make partial payments to him during treatment. I have had the same consistent experience with multiple lawyers and chiropractors and yet this experience was totally different in regards to the financial aspect of an auto accident injury treatment.
I asked him why the costs of 2 hours I spent with him were equal to 9+ hours from the other chiropractor… he directed me to my lawyers for an itemized costs breakdown. I then asked him about my MRI scans I let him borrow to review my injury during my first visit and he doesn’t recall that happening. He tells me he will look for it and call me when he finds it. I then ask him what he would do about it if he doesn’t find it. He responds «I don’t know how to answer that. I have never been asked that but I will look for it and let you know if I can’t find it.» He informs me that a DVD copy will only cost me 10 cents and that I should request another copy. I tell him that I shouldn’t have to go through all that and he can’t find it then it is only fair if he gets another copy for me. He then informs me that the conversation is over and hung up on me. So he will pull the lawyer card when he doesn’t want to explain himself but when he wants to know if I received my settlement check he can call me directly. That’s just my opinion, but then again, Unilocal is there so I can share my viewpoint on this right?
First off… I take partial blame for being so nice.
Second… Dr. Short has been included in the settlement to receive payment for the services provided to me which were astronomically more expensive than other chiropractors I have worked with yet I never filed a dispute about his charges and took steps to verify he is getting paid for his services.
If it means anything, before showing me some video clips on his office computer, he had to constantly close the counterfeit software warning before playing the videos for me. I don’t know if he just hasn’t registered his copy of windows yet, but I’m pretty sure there are some laws against running a business on an unregistered copy of windows.

Absolutely terrible! Do not recommend anyone support this place! I got into an accident and came here and this guy was a joke! First he talked his butt of about NOTHING! Then after he adjusted me, this guy took x-​rays of me? Since when are they allowed to take x-​rays? Chiropractic adjustments is a separate business than an x-​ray technician! But the thing that made this the worst was the whole time he talked about MONEY! And how he had a family to support giving me a guilt trip the entire time! Very unprofessional! When I confronted him that I wanted to go to a different place to get my chiropractic adjustments he yelled at me! Can you believe it! He yelled at me that I was betraying him and how is he going to pay his bills and etc. I’m more than willing to help if you need it but this guy was an asshole from day one. He had money but wanted more and more. Hence why he advertises every other sentence he says! And he checks out every stinkin’ girl that walks in, including his «receptionist»!!!

Team Chiropractic is the best place to go if your tired or sore or just need a great Chiropractic to go to !! They offer the best around !! The place is great !! I was sore and I had no energy after going here I was full of energy and I felt like a new person !! Dr Short is a great doctor he makes you feel at home and is very good at his job !!! I went one time and I feel I like this place alot !! If you have a sore back or stiffness or your bones fell tired. This is the place to go !! Very Easy to find next to Ralphs Supermarket on the second floor In Mira Mesa.

If I could put lower than one star, I would. Absolutely the worst chiropractic experience I’ve ever had. There’s so many reasons why I have this opinion, but I’ll just list a few…
— He constantly schleps gimmicky products he profits from using hard selling tactics. What respectable doctor does that?
— He overcharges for his services.
— His chiropractic care is mediocre, at best.
Seriously, find another chiropractor. Your experience with Dr. Short will not be pleasurable.
UPDATE: Don’t let these 5-​star reviews fool you… notice how they all popped up within the same week and a half? Plus, several other negative reviews mysteriously disapeared. Something’s fishy here. Be skeptical my fellow Unilocalers!
