  I arrived at the doctor's office and did not have to wait long..., Dec 5, 2009

I arrived at the doctor's office and did not have to wait long to see him. The receptionists were all very friendly and helpful. The doctor explained what my condition was and the two treatments that were available. He let me make my own decision but recommended and cheaper but just as effective route. I chose that route and am now symptom free. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend him to a friend.

  Dr. V Has Really Helped Me With My Back Pain In Just Two Months..., Nov 30, 2011

I have been coming to Dr. V for about two months now and I cannot express how happy I am to have made this decision! I came in, skeptical, after having thrown out my back. I could not walk, sit, stand, or take care of my newborn son without experiencing extreme pain, at only 21! I was religiously taking pain killers, but nothing was getting better. After only two weeks of treatment my pain was gone! I could play with my son again! I was so happy with my treatment; I even brought my son in for a check-up. After having been pulled out at birth, he had been having trouble rotating his head both directions. After only two adjustments (that's right, TWO!) my son is looking both ways with no problems and he has been happier ever since. I'm so happy I came to Care Chiropractic and even happier I brought my son in. Thanks to Dr.V, I can look forward to a happy and healthy life for me and my son. Thank you, I couldn't have asked for a better SOLUTION.
  unresponsive, indifferent medical office with lack of urgency..., Nov 29, 2011

Staff is cold, indifferent, with no sense of urgency. I was extremely concerned about some test results but when I called every few days to ask if they were in, I was made to feel that I was bothering them and there was no attempt to give me an idea of when they would be in, or to expedite results more quickly. I waited a half four to see the doctor, she looked at her watch and made me feel rushed when I was in for the exam. Medical advice seemed reasonable but the lack of urgency or empathy made it a frustrating experience.
  Best MD I ever had! Believes in treating with the patiet's mind instead of massive drugs for a quick..., Nov 14, 2011

As a football player at The Ohio State University, and also 6 year professional football player (All-Pro), Dr Smayda is one of the best two I have ever had. The other doctor is orthopedic so he doesnt count in this review. Dr Smayda goes way beyond what most doctors do in a standard check up and will stay on top of your healing process and the rountine he expects you to follow! You will not be looked at as a "fast food" patient like many other physicians do who are so concerned with the number of patients they have instead of thoroughly TREATING the ones they already have. Dr Smayda WILL listen, research, understand, and diagnose your problem to the fullest extent and beyond until you are healed. I wish he didnt move to New York! he saved my life and brought me from full diabetic with insulin shots, high cholestoral, high blood pressure, and massive weight gain to a 60 lb lighter person who only takes vitamins. He lower and got rid of everything negative I mentioned WITHOUT the use of medication but rather with a diagnosis tailored specifically for me.
  Very reliable doctor with good attitude and special attention..., Sep 6, 2011

Dr. Sam, as I call him, provides me with exellent health care for what I think is a fair price. Their practice charges a bit more to be a member of, but I certainly receive more than just compensation in attention and expertise. Dr. Sam's practice provides a standard of healthcare that all patients should have access to. I would like to see a tax rebate available for those of us who put in in more money for healthcare on top of insurance, but I won't hold my breath for that. Bottom line for me and my family is that we would not trust anyone else with our health and well being outiside of Dr. Sam's practice. We actually chose not to move out of Peoria mostly for this reason.
  I came out ugly, uneven, and embarassed! Please do not go to Kavali!..., Sep 1, 2011

I was sucked in by the radio ads and, before you knew it, was in surgery for a breast reduction. Afterwards, I had some serious concerns about "dog ears" and such. (Triangle flaps of skin that form during reductions.) The second procedure was IN HER OFFICE! Heaven forbid she pay for the hospital facility! I was WIDE AWAKE AND WATCHING HER CUT INTO MY BREASTS! She shot some numbing agent into my chest and went to work. Sometimes I would feel the cut (like when you get novicaine for a tooth but you still feel it) and I would scream. She would just add more numbing agent and keep going. The whole time gossiping with her assistant about the poor work ethic of the office manager. A few years later, I am DISGUSTED by my own body. My breasts are two completely different sizes. One is 1.5 cups bigger than the other! My nipples are distorted and puckered. The scars are terrible. I can't wear low cut shirts or most bathing suits. Buying and wearing bras is painful and embarassing. Getting cold is TORTURE because, when hard, MY NIPPLES POINT IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS!!!! Please, do not go to Dr. Kavali! Do more research! There are a lot of unhappy clients all over the internet! See a real professional. She is only interested in money! Hence, the radio commercials. DON'T END UP A FRANKENSTEIN, LIKE ME!
