0/10. Dr. Mendel's sloppy medical practice set me back over 2 years worth of training progress...., Apr 10, 2012 I injured my shoulder in 2010 while training with a barbell. This is the doctor I ended up going with while looking for a sports medicine doctor who specializes in shoulders. After waiting 3 months for my appointment, and 45 minutes waiting at their office for my appointment, I got maybe 5 minutes of time with the doctor. He ignored me completely when I tried explaining the type of pain I'm going through, and when the injury occurred. He injected my shoulder with cortizone, and told me it was just inflammation. In 2012, my shoulder is getting worse, to the point where I can't ignore the pain at all. I schedule an appointment with a different doctor and the University of Iowa, and on the first appointment, they schedule an arthrogram and MRI. The MRI confirmed that I have a tear in my labrum. If Dr. Mendel would have listened to me, this would have been dealt in 2010, and I would be able to continue training. But now I need surgery, and recovery looked like it'll take between 6-12 months. I can't train during that time. All this because Dr. Mendel refused to give quality healthcare (but still charge a premium healthcare price). My only regret is that this review will give Dr. Mendel 1 star, when it's currently at 0. |

Warning!! Therapists causes more harm than good! Choose someone else!..., Mar 25, 2012 This therapist has serious issues. Careful, she is inappropriate (sexually provocative with male clients) and can cause more damage than good. Wish I'd never met her. She needs to see a therapist, herself. |

Feedback from experience with Dr. Uma Narayan!!!!!..., Mar 16, 2012 My 11 month old son was very sick for over a month. We were in and out of Dr. Uma Narayan's office several times each time being told he was fine, just ignore the cough. Well his condition continued to worsen. Runny nose, fever, pulling (working to breath), losing weight, coughing nonstop (sounded like a seal), lethargic, and very miserable. He was prescribed two medications that come to find out were not what he needed. Needless to say at the last visit, after 2 breathing treatments, he had to be rushed to the hospital (30 minutes away because others were full???). My baby spent 2 1/2 days in the hospital on oxygen, he tested positive for bronchiolitis with RSV, a simple test that took 15 minutes. She never called to check on him once, even after we were released. In addition, it takes at least +4 hours to get a call back after leaving a message at the office. The doctors at the hospital said had it been caught sooner he would not have been this bad.Good luck!! |

definitely not the doctor for me or my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..., Jan 6, 2012 Judgemental, egotistical, talks down to patients. Pushes way too many medications and unnecessary tests on patients. Hard to reach during business hours, let alone not being able to reach in the evening or weekends. |

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. |
