I have a worst experience from this practice. Doctors are very knowledgeable and professional. I am talking about the manager Vanessa Lynch. I had a car accident last year and had been recommended by my primary doctor to get a treatment on this facility. On the front desk Jill, Tammy and Vanessa had not explained to me my payment plan at all. As a matter of fact after doctor Mike provided me a full treatment, they started to sent me a bill one after another.

They had not explained to me my EOB for each bill, were rude to me, hanged up the phone on me. The manager Vanessa Lynch kicked me out of facility and had not let me talk to the doctor when I came there. What is this? And they consider to be professionals? I would not recommend to anybody to go there.

Thirty years ago I had a serious car accident. The visible injuries healed but as I aged the scar tissue and arthritis became debilitating. The pain and weakness in my lower leg and ankle negatively hampered my quality of life. Traditional medicine offered medication and surgery. I wanted to limit medication and try to find a treatment that was non invasive and in my mind less traumatic.

I was recommended to Dr. Defabio. His knowledgeable, patient care have given me back my mobility. The introduction of the winback has enhanced my treatment and well being. The staff are wonderful. There is a professional and calming atmosphere from the minute you walk in the door. The Doctors are all very knowledgeable and work in unison to treat and heal.

The practice treats the whole body with healthy supplements, food choices and meal preparation. I highly recommend Dr. Defabio and his amazing approach to health and wellness. Thank you.

My left wrist was hurting for many years. About a year ago I fell and pressed on my hand and hurt more. This week I came in and had the Winback treatment. It made so much difference! I got the treatment on Tuesday, and by Wednesday I can held the mug on my left hand without pain! I will be back for more treatments. Thank you Dr. DeFabio.

I've been going to the chiropractor almost my entire life. I can honestly say that Dr. Defabio, Dr. Slade, and Dr. Mike are the best in the business. They are all extremely knowledgeable and take extra care to accommodate all of your needs. From the second you walk in they make you feel right at home. I had a bicep injury that they helped me to heal in no time and now I regularly go back for overall adjustments. Best part of the week!

I am over 50 and will now be running in my 5th marathon thanks to Defabio Chiropratic. The doctors there are always willing to give me ideas to improve my training. They are always willing to give me ideas not only for my muscles, and training, but nutrition as well. Any issues that have come up during training, from over-worked muscles to plantar fasciitis, they have gotten me relief followed by exercises to avoid any injury. I can not express how much they continue to help with my overall health. Thank you for all your expert advice!

If you are looking for a chiropractor, De Fabio Practice is the best place to go, without a doubt. The professionalism of all the staff is admirable. Everyone is super friendly, and they take care of you at all times. Dr De Fabio is very knowledgeable. His evaluation on the first day is very detailed and explains to you precisely what is happening and how to recover from whatever injury or pain you have. Dr Mike has been treating me in the past month, and my upper back/neck improvement has been spectacular.

They take time with each patient, and you will never feel rushed, like in other practices. My husband had his first appointment yesterday, and he is already feeling better! I highly recommend De Fabio practice; you feel well taken care of in a professional and friendly environment.

I've been coming to Dr. DeFabio and the team for a bit over 6 months now, and I must say it has been life changing. Each member of the team makes me feel so welcome and heard about my pain and they *genuinely* want you to feel better and will make sure you don't leave until you do! Dr. Mike has been helping me with a lower back and hip issue the last 6 weeks and each time I leave I think about how grateful I am that I found this place.

He listens to me about what is causing the pain, what I've tried, and what I think helps and we adjust each session around the base we found that works for me. Vanessa at the front has a smile every single time I come in and is a pleasure whenever I need to adjust or change an appointment. Jill has been wonderful as well and has such a lovely, calming presence. I cannot recommend DeFabio Chiropractic enough and will be a patient here for years to come!

Dr Mike, Dr D and Dr Slade are the absolute best! Any concerns you have, they take care of. Always have recommendations for anything. I have bad allergies and they had a solution to help. They are absolutely amazing and would recommend them to anyone!

I have been going to Dr. Defabio for over 20 years now. He is kind, compassionate, patient, and very knowledgeable about the human body. He always goes out of his way to fit me into his schedule, no matter how busy his day is. He has helped me through many aches and pains and has top notch, state of the art "tools" at his disposal to help you feel better. His new doctors are fabulous as well! You won't find a more caring chiropractic practice in the area!

Love Dr. DeFabio and his team! They see my 4 year old daughter and myself! I'm feeling great and Dr DeFabio has offered nutritional advice and therapy exercises for my daughter. He really takes his time, cares for his patients and is passionate about helping and educating others on their health and wellness. Dr. Slade and Dr. Mike are also amazing and have the same passion as Dr. DeFabio
