Abundant Life Chiropractic

Total scam artist!
First he claimed that the four of us all needed urgent chiro treatment (inc. perfectly healthy 3 year old daughter) for over $ 12,000.
Next, he claims I have an enlarged heart on my x-​ray. lol Little did he know that I just completed a thorough regimen of heart tests; including a 3D EKG… All results revealed a perfect heart.
lol Total joke! Only simple-​minded sheeple would fall for this arrogant profiteer & his goons.

What story I can tell. I went there barely able to walk, let alone do any kind of physical activity. I’ve been active all my life, but one day, I picked up something wrong and I couldn’t straighten up. I messed around with trying to «cure» it myself, no such cure! Dr. Zaino came spoke at a meeting and talked about the design of the body, everything he said about it made sense. I paid his office a visit and they put me through a through examination and then explained a very detailed plan of treatment. That plan required 3 weekly visit for 6 months. It took all of that time to bring about full mobility. Was it expensive? That is a matter of perspective — being off work, unable to to enjoy any quality of life, and none of my sport activities.
By the time the treatments were completed I was back to full mobility, even playing softball on a weekly bases. From that point I went into a maintenance program which has proved to be a great tune-​up anytime I get a tinge of pain.
The process of the treatment was fast paced. I didn’t have to go and sit around a wait in a lobby. You walk in and immediately begin treatment. While you are waiting you get a education from an informative video about some aspect of your body.
I have recommended Abundant Life Chiropractic to hundreds of people: Friends, family, church connections, work connections, even strangers!

Christian… I think not. Crooks! All about the money. So let’s see; The client/​patient arrives and sits on an air-​disc for a few minutes until the number (or call number like the deli counter uses). Then you get AT THE MOST 2 minutes of care. Starting from your back they say hi, snap your neck, roll on your side, snap the hip. Then say now go «heal». Then you are directed to some gal who hammers the spine of your neck with a «real» medical device apparently and smiles and points you to the next room. So, like cattle you go in and stand on a vibrating platform for another waste of time. Then zoom out the door… this 20 minutes of CARE cost about $ 65.00 OR in other words well over then $ 200 an hour. AND with 2 – 4 doctors/​tricksters and people all day long. They are making a fortune! This guy needs to be reviewed by some board or something. This place is a spine mill. Period, be careful…

After reading the other negative reviews I though this couldn’t be true so I would check this place out for myself. It’s true! They may have straight spines but something is very crooked at Abundant Life Chiropractic.
The D.C. (doctor of chiropractic) I met with was more like a used car salesman. You could see it on his face that this was a frustrating place to work and he sounded like a broken record because he really didn’t have any «sales» skills, which seems to be the approach they are taking. The D.C. I met with explained that they will not see you with out your family because «you need support». I assume that is support for giving them thousands up front and then realizing you made a mistake so someone would be around to support you. You can’t force family members to do something they don’t want to do so this is a really bad strategy. They haven’t figured out that not everyone that is sick wants help so forcing this strategy on patients that need help is very negative and causes stress. Next, it is true that they require names and if you don’t provide them then you are not holding up your end of the agreement. Once the D.C. knew I was not buying in he immediately changed his attitude to angry and walked me out and dismissed me.
From my perspective, Dr Zaino has no emotion. Somewhere along his journey he has been hardened. It’s almost as though he has lost his passion to help others and now wants to make a bunch of money to pay for his Ferrari. Another chiropractor told me that Dr Zaino brags about being the highest paid chiropractor. It’s so sad because he has such a great testimony but it appears he is not happy. I will pray that truth will find him. All around they may be on to something that people with straight spines can heal due to «functionality», but the business approach to make a bunch of money is horrible. I hope my review will help someone and just know that there are honest chiropractors in Houston.

These are big time scammers & they really have a lot of people fooled (WHICH SUCKS but some people have more money than sense, obviously). If you go there & fall for their scare tactics, be prepared to pay in the thousands for a treatment plan. Also they ask for names of family/​friends (pyramid scheme) & get rude when u don’t agree & follow thru w/​their plan. If they cared about people’s health, they would have a sliding scale for payment plans to help EVERYONE! But it’s not about helping people, it’s about getting rich. They may be right about SOME things as far as spine/​neck problems but try to make u think u NEED THEM to fix your problem & no one else can help u. They talk all regular doctors into the ground saying they won’t do anything for u except medicate or do surgery. They showed me my xrays where my neck curve has began straightening out & made it out to be something so horrible so i went home & read about it & found out it’s very common & I can do my own home therapy for about $ 100 using hills therapeutic neck curve restorer (read reviews)…versus their treatment plan of 4 – 6 months @ a whopping $ 4,700! BEWARE!!! Oh & they throw GOD’s name around a lot, trying to make u think they are such good Christians.

Bully over names. All they want is money. Scam scam scam. One of their «requirements» to be a «patient» is a list of people and their phone number. I refused so they won’t «accept» me. If you need more names up front before service is rendered something is not right. In this day and age I don’t feel comfortable giving out my friends or family’s personal information. That’s their personal information they entrusted to me to keep safe and not give out.
In addition, expect to pay upfront money for service; anywhere between $ 4000 — 7000 for 60 visits. Then they want you to pay for 60 — 120 more visits. Do the math; that’s $ 12,000 ($ 66/​visit) — $ 21,000 ($ 116/​visit). All upfront.

The staff was great. The atmosphere was not only welcoming it promoted health. The doctor’s are very knowledgable. I encourage people to check this place out.

All was well until they started jacking with us on money. Still great treatment but my opinion now is that they are more interested in money than health.
Zaino talks about this being his ministry. However, I’m not sure that Jesus would approve!

It’s all about the money is the way I saw this establishment. Wanted me to bring my whole family before hearing anything about my reasons for showing up. My first (and last) treatment was walking in, signing in, waiting for my turn, it felt like a cattle line, the whole process. The doctor rushed through my treatment without one word to me, he didn’t even look me in the eyes. The next step was for another person to use some popping thing on my back, then you walk to another station to do self manual decompression exercises — I am used to having a warm friendly experienced staff person help lie on a table and machine set-​up for decompression treatments, so this was also a cold, uninviting, cattle line experience as well. I had to stop treatment after one that left me unable to turn my head without excruciating pain! Took a month of 3x/​week treatments somewhere else to fix the pain! There are so many other chiropractors available that give you a genuine «I care about you» one on one experience, with cutting edge chiro machines — if you go here, try another place as well is my advice before you pay $ 3 – 6 thousand upfront here — oh and that’s per person in your family…

Stay far away from this place.
Arrived for my 1^st appointment and was ignored for at least 5 minutes by front office personnel. While filling out paperwork, was asked on a form to agree that I’d been given a form that I had not been given. When I asked one employee about the form, another employee told him not to answer my question. When I asked to see a manager, the second employee told me to leave or he would call the cops. All because I was asked to lie on a medical form? This place must be doing something wrong.
