  I’m a new patient, but after just 2 adjustments with Dr. Serafini, I’ve noticed instant relief. Everyone in the office has been incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes such a difference when you’re dealing with pain or discomfort. Romina in the rehab area has also been great and the different things she’s had me do have genuinely helped me feel relief as well. And shoutout to Jacy for helping me get booked through Instagram! She made the whole process so easy. So far I’ve had a really great experience and definitely recommend checking them out!

  The entire office is amazing. Everyone is kind, knowledgeable and thorough. They’re intentional with each appointment, they’re never rushed in your care, and they make time to continually inform you of what they’re doing and why. I have never been to a chiropractic office that treats with such a holistic approach. So thankful to have found this office!

  -Expect a Sales Pitch — and No Answers or Treatment Until You Agree to a Treatment Plan and Subsequent Visits- The appointment itself started with a medical assistant, Romina, doing a pre-screen while an intern observed. When Dr. Serafini entered, the dynamic quickly felt less patient-centered and more performance-driven. He dominated nearly every interaction, leaving little room for conversation or collaboration. At one point, I tried to add context about my symptoms and experience, and he abruptly responded with a very quick, “cool, cool, cool” before moving on. It felt dismissive and strangely cold. For context, I’m usually very talkative and engaged in medical appointments, but throughout this visit I found myself withdrawing because I didn’t feel listened to. When discussing prior surgeries, Dr. Serafini immediately declared, “that’s your problem right there,” before reviewing imaging or completing a meaningful assessment. I explained that the surgery had been nearly 40 years ago and how I didn’t bleieve adhesions to be likely only because they would have shown up by now and also, my symptom only began recently after horseback riding this year. His response felt more focused on establishing authority than understanding my situation, reminding me he’d done this for 25 years. My perspective didn’t seem to matter much. And because I don’t believe in arguing or peacocking, I didn’t feel the need to remind him I’ve been in this body, feeling what’s new vs what’s normal for me for 46 years. The physical assessment itself often felt theatrical, almost like a demonstration for the intern observing. There was a lot of lecturing, showmanship, eye contact with the intern while speaking about concepts, and attempts to guide me toward agreement during strength testing; but not much genuine, unscripted dialogue. There were a few times where I honestly couldn’t tell whether the supposed weakness he was pointing out was actually present. When this would happen, he seemed disappointed at my truth. It was only apparent some of the time. After X-rays were taken, I expected we would review them together and discuss findings. Instead, I was told to go to the front desk and schedule another hour-long appointment. I later learned I would not even be shown my X-rays, given a diagnosis, or discuss results until a follow-up visit. I paid for my appointment (assessment, x-rays, and exam), with tons of talking at me, but received NO value (diagnosis and no treatment/adjustment to kick off my treatment). I don’t mind paying, when I receive value. In fact I’ll be paying cash for my physical therapy appointments scheduled somewhere else. I think it’s important to let other people know what to expect. That was extremely disappointing and confusing. I left having completed an exam, assessment, and X-rays — but “without” any treatment, adjustment, diagnosis, or explanation of findings. I also had to ask basic questions while they were trying to schedule a second appointment for me, with no upfront explanation of future charges or treatment costs. I finally said, “You don’t accept insurance, so I need to understand treatment costs for these appointments” Only then did they provide information. Until that point, they were simply assuming the sale — perhaps counting on some patients being too uncomfortable to pause and ask questions or decline next steps. I couldn’t do that. I already had 5–6 physical therapy sessions scheduled elsewhere, a fact I had already related to the doctor that before he sent me to the front desk to sign up for physical therapy with them. Overall, the experience felt much more like a sales presentation than a healthcare appointment. They don’t earn your business, but require you to continue to do business with them before they show your x-rays you’ve paid for, and discuss what your ailment is and get you adjusted to start feeling better. I personally did not feel heard, comfortable, or cared for once the doctor interaction began, and I won’t be returning.

  Dr. Serafini and his crew are amazing! I originally came in for my hips, as a teenager I was already having problems. Dr. Moslow and Serafini saw me and within only a couple of visits my hip complaints had dissipated. I even had issues with my shoulder and jaw later on because of sport injuries and I was seen immediately and evaluated and with constant treatments I’ve seen significant improvements thanks to them. I highly recommend coming if you might have any similar problems or even concerns. As a teenager being able to be seen by Dr.Serafini has significantly improved my life with being able to live comfortably in my movements that I completely that was normal at first.
