What patients say when we're not in the room.

Let me start by saying Dr. Sam has touched my family's lives in many ways. My family has been his patients since he started his career. I, a survivor of a severe car crash, became his patient when he took over my chiropractor's office. He has helped me with many of the consequences of a rear-end car crash. I am so thankful I found Dr. Sam and he has been able to help me feel good and live with much less pain.

Because of my positive experiences, when my children needed a chiropractor I knew where to take them. I could write a book on how thankful I am for what Dr. Sam has done for my family and me, but I'll highlight the main situations where he was, and is, an integral part of my children's recovery and well-being.

My daughter

My daughter was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type III, a genetic connective tissue disorder. Dr. Sam has been a life-saver for her. He has helped relieve the pain, stabilize joints, and most importantly educate her on how to strengthen her body to help stabilize her joints. He has been there for her far more extensively than the office hours posted on the door. He researched and educated himself on how to best care for her.

He, along with her other medical team doctors, helped her become a strong college volleyball player who no longer needs braces to hold her shoulders in place. She drives three hours home to have Dr. Sam adjust her, because it is worth it.

My son

On September 6, 2017, my 15-year-old son got hurt in football. He lost all use of his right leg from the hip down to his toes. The first stop was the ER, where they immobilized his knee, tried to control his pain, and sent us home to make an appointment with a specialist. Long story short: three orthopedic doctors, one back specialist, eight hours in a brain trauma clinic, and two and a half months of being bedridden in so much pain he thought he was going to lose his mind. Once all the imaging of the leg was done, Dr. Sam took a look.

Within a few minutes, Dr. Sam said, "Well, I can help you, but the adjustment might hurt a bit." My son answered that it couldn't be any worse than the pain he had constantly. The adjustment was done, and within twenty minutes my son was able to take a real step. He is 6'6" and about 275 pounds; since the accident he'd been on crutches, only able to shuffle his right leg. Within minutes he could stride. Within the week he was back on the basketball court with limited playing time.

Dr. Sam has worked with Joe diligently. There were many times through that recovery when Joe's leg just quit working or the pain reappeared, and Dr. Sam was a phone call away. If he could, he met us at the clinic and adjusted Joe. He took time out of his life to make sure Joe had what he needed. He didn't give up. He found the root of the problem and worked to fix it.

Dr. Sam and his entire team are amazing people. They truly put the patient's well-being first and work well with schedules and individual needs. I would recommend Dr. Sam to any and all people looking for genuine chiropractic care.
