Thanks to Dr. Ziegler and his welcoming and experienced team, my lower back pain has been reduced and I have stretching routine that is helping to ensure long-term health. The practice offers a great deal of flexibility with regard to scheduling that included intensive treatment at first, but gradually reduced the frequency of visits as I improved. I highly recommend Advanced Health Center.

Dr. Ziegler is great! Hes helped me with pretty severe back problems several times, and had me in significantly less pain after the first appointment. His prices are very reasonable and his timing is SUPER flexible, which is really great for my work schedule. Highly recommend!

I found Advanced Health Center because I was looking for treatment for my TMJ, neck and shoulder blade pain. I was excited to find out that they offered both acupuncture and Chiropractic Treatments. It has been almost 2 months since working with Dr Ziegler and I am feeling so much better. They are affordable and seem to take most insurance companies. I highly recommend this practice. You won't be disappointed.

I came to Advanced Health Center as a transfer patient. I had just moved from Alabama and was receiving care at an inter grated health facility like this one. Dr. Zeigler is my doctor here. This man cares about his patients and getting them back or close to health. He also listens, which I have found to be a rare quality with doctors in the area. I highly recommend Dr. Zeigler and the rest of the team at the Advanced Health Center. If you're looking for a place that offers medical alternatives in healthcare, this is your place.

Let me start off by saying great place! Their staff is kind and attentive. They are very punctual and accommodating with appointments. They care greatly about their patients. I have been going there a few months now for a pinched nerve oh, and doctor Z has slowly nursed me back to health. He is absolutely great! When I first started coming I was having numbing tingling pain through my arm all day.

Now with the help of doctor Z, I barely have any tingling at all and I'm on my way to a full recovery, with no surgery needed. I cannot say enough great thing about this practice serious I will continue to go even after my pinched nerve is recovered just for monthly adjustments.

I started coming here a few months ago and I'm so happy I did! After a car accident in 2019, I started receiving jaw and neck pain. After moving to VA, I found AHC on yelp (like all of you!) From the doctors to the receptionist, they are all incredible, and acupuncture is helping with my issues.

After just a few sessions with Dr. Ziegler, I feel remarkable improvements! Highly reccomned! And everyone at that office is incredibly nice and welcoming.

I just started getting my treatments with Dr. Ziegler. Great explanation of the problem, the solutions and the plan. Compared with other Medical offices, I found the receptionist very friendly and professional. Kai

Dr. Ziegler is the best! I was in an excruciating pain for 4 weeks, unable to sleep from a pinched nerve on my neck C6-C7. Dr. Ziegler did wonders, and I was able to sleep after my first session. Pain level has gone down significantly, and after 5 sessions I am almost fully recovered. He is a delightful person, professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend AHC. Acupuncture is great as well, I did one session and the experience was excellent. Staff is very polite.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ziegler's for 2 months now. I found him through reviews on the internet and so happy I did! My story began 7 months ago with neck pain. This progressed until I could no longer turn my head without severe pain and I was waking at night with numbness and tingling in my arm and hand. My first visit I was sent out for xrays of my neck which led to a diagnosis of degeneration in my cervical (neck) area.

Treatment began immediately and consisted of adjustments and accupuncture among other things that made a difference after the first treatment. I am pain free at this time. My insurance (after my deductible was met) pays for most of my 45 min sessions. I leave there feeling relaxed and happy with the care I have received from Dr. Z and his staff. BTW, they are super flexible and I have never had to wait longer than 1 minute or less for my treatments to begin.

I highly recommend Advanced Heath Center in Arlington VA on 46 South Glebe Road. Dr. Ziegler is and his team are amazing! The acupuncture wasnt painful and it has helped me so much!
Dr. Ziegler provides both state of the art Eastern and Western chiropractic care. Dr. Ziegler has help me, my friends, and family so much for many years. I have also been going to Dr. Ziegler throughout Covid-19. The team goes above and beyond to ensure the establishment is sanitized and safe. Everything is always disinfected and clean. Please see Dr. Ziegler/Advanced Health Center for all of your chiropractic needs.

Every time I go here the front desk young woman gives an even bigger attitude. What is the point of keeping someone on staff that makes so many patients uncomfortable? I used to stop by this office all the time since is very close to me, now it's not even worth dealing with the receptionist.

I have been seeing Dr. Ziegler on and off for more than 10 years. His therapy techniques, neck adjustment and acupuncture all help me in managing my cervical spine nerve pain. Dr. Ziegler continuously provides excellent individualized care in a warm and professional environment.

Been getting acupuncture with Seol Yoon for the past 6 month now. I was dealing with lower back pain, boating and having little energy. She did an amazing job getting everything fixed up and I feel way better now. I had one appointment each week and felt that did the trick. I would recommend anyone looking to get acupuncture done to request to see Seol.

I highly recommend this health center. The doctor Shafai is amazing, very professional and competent, the acupuncture services are amazing too. Love going there. Ziegler he is best doctor for acupuncture, had great experience with my autistic son

Front desk person has horrible customer service. Weird they would keep her on staff with all these bad reviews.

I've known Dr Zeigler for many years and he is the very best chiropractor - without a doubt. He knows what he is doing and truly cares about the well-being of his patients. He has treated me for scoliosis and also for neck issues abs always gets me back to a pain free norm with his treatments. I highly recommend him and give him 5 stars!

Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ziegler and my back issues, which were affecting my hands. I need my hands for my digital art. I was able to get the appropriate treatment I needed. I was already seeing Dr. Chang and Dr. Shafai at the Advanced Health Center, so I was pleased to find that Dr. Ziegler was able to help me with my back problem. I felt I got a very holistic solution to my aging and I feel confident I can keep moving, creating, and having fun in life.

Great, knowledgeable, helpful, and professional front desk staff! Such a fun team. I'm surprised by some of the negative comments here. I've been coming to this practice for over a year and I've found them to be friendly and helpful. Dr. Zeigler and Dr. Stilson provide excellent, top notch, and very high quality health care service. I saw Dr. Stilson last year for a sports related injury in the middle of training for a competition.

His treatment helped my body heal so that I can continue to train effectively. I was so happy with my total numbers in my competition! Dr. Zeigler has been treating me for some knee pain this year, and I feel improvement with each session! He is very knowledgeable in his craft and applies consistently effective treatments each visit! I feel very lucky to have found these providers and will continue to seek service in this practice. Thank you Advanced Healthcare team!

Having ongoing lower back issues, I was referred to Dr. Ziegler by a colleague 6 years ago. My lower back was giving me pure hell with muscle spasms. After a few weeks of treatment and stretching routines at home, I had zero, nada, no issues with my lower back until this year. Now middle aged, I have arthritis in my upper and lower back. I experienced times where I didn't want to get out of bed and many restless nights from pain.

I tried everything from CBD oils to hypnosis. I am now midway through my weekly sessions with Dr. Ziegler and the pain is gone, as he promised. When I met Dr Ziegler 6 years ago, he was personable, attentive and hard not to like. Today, he is even more personable, attentive and very likable. It seems we never missed a beat within the 6 years, we picked up where we left off and it's genuine. Everyone is friendly, from front desk staff to other attending Dr.'s. Very impressed with how the (very clean) office follows the CDC and Arlington County guidelines as it relates to Covid-19.

After many years of suffering with severe neck pain, I went to the Advanced Health Center hoping to find relief without the violent jerking and cracking that other chiropractors had done in the past. After the first visit, I was able to truthfully say that I was pain free and had more movement in my neck. Thanks to Dr. Z. i highly recommend the Advanced Health Center to anyone who needs chiropractic care.

I'm so glad I went to see Dr. Z. I had an acute back issue last week and he made it better in no time. Their office is doing a good job seeing clients while working hard to make sure everyone stays safe. I love that the approach here is very holistic, with acupuncture and other treatments in addition to the adjustment. If you have back pain, don't suffer in silence, these guys can help!

Coming from LA, I'm a huge believer and practitioner in holistic health treatment and Eastern medicine. So the first thing I did when I moved to Virginia is to look for a place that provides these services. It just so happens that I needed a new primary physician, a chiropractor and an acupuncturist. Advanced Health Center have them all in one facility. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, they even give great Netflix suggestions.

Through the recent COVID-19 health crisis the facility remains open with adjusted hours and careful safety protocols so Dr. Ziegler can continue to care for patients like me with my ongoing knee injuries and my primary physician, Dr. Shafai, is available via telemedicine appointments.

I have been going to see Dr Ryan Stilson for five months, he is very professional, patient, nice and helpful. I have back pain issue, I need to go to AHC at least once a week, the 45 min - 1 hour treatment is my most relaxing time during the week. The rest of the staffs are very nice too. Everything is very smooth: make an appointment, reschedule/ cancel an appointment. Overall, I have good experience here and will continue to receive the treatments.

Dr. Ziegler, Dr. Shafai and Dr. Stilson are excellent at what they do. I have had issues with my back and neck for a little over a year. I had never been treated by a chiropractor before, because I was always sceptical. But after meeting with Dr. Ziegler, I felt more comfortable with his knowledge and understanding of my pain. He was very professional and knew exactly what kind of treatment I needed.

When Dr. Ziegler isn't available, I was seen by Dr. Stilson. Dr. Stilson too is very professional and knowledgeable and friendly. I can't thank him and his staff enough. The office staff (Erica, Megan, and Kevin) are always very welcoming and friendly, and have treated me well. Since I moved to Virginia, Dr. Shafai has been my primary care doctor and she's just as awesome as the rest of the staff.

She has taken care of all my needs, and has answered all questions that I have had. I like the fact that everything is centrally located. You have a primary physician, chiropractors, and acupuncturists as well. I highly recommend this location for your medical needs. I always enjoy and look forward to my visits here.

I have been a client of Advanced Health Care for 10 years or so and love the quality of service I have received. I want to call out Seol Yoon who is an exceptional acupuncturist. She is kind, thoughtful and a master of the art. I recommend AHC and the entire team of health care providers and if you are looking for an acupuncturist, I suggest you check out Seol Yoon, she is clearly talented.

I wish I could give two reviews because the drs there are wonderful- I had great experiences with Dr. Chang and Dr. Yoon. BUT the administrative staff is so glaringly rude, unprofessional, and unethical that I can not recommend AHC. I had treatments this summer, and my insurance covers acupuncture but I was told here that my insurance "wasn't going through". I paid for my acupuncture treatments in full but I discovered that my insurance had covered the treatments.

When I explained this today, they told me I was "undercharged" so they wouldn't give me a refund. I was also told their "insurance person" worked remotely, and without a schedule so insurance payments would take weeks to process and no one would be able to discuss this with me. Did I mention that the staff was shockingly rude? I walked up, and was ignored so I said, "hello" and the receptionist barked "WHAT?" at me.

I have nothing but great things to say. As an EMT, I see and work with a lot providers (have had mostly good experiences), but wanted to acknowledge this practice for all being so great. Everyone says hello to you and go out of their way to help you get labs and results. Want to thank Reena, especially for going out of her way to getting appointments and results. I don't know if I'm special or Reena is just that great always. I'd like to think it's just me :) but have a feeling, she, and everyone here is just great to deal with. Thank you all! P.S. Thier TV is streaming a Live Panda cam.

I don't know what is going on here. I was pretty uncomfortable alone in the room with the doctor and will never go back. He wasn't listening to me and positioned his chair blocking the door, I just felt incredibly uncomfortable. Before I even arrived to the appointment, the front desk staff said they would call me back with pricing information and never did. To make things even more uncomfortable, the place is just foul and disgusting with old creepy exposed wires, dusty rusty equipment, decades-old personal files, stains on the floor.

It was a like a horror movie set in an 80s dilapidated hospital building. They wanted to charge me for an "office visit" to boot, even though I ran out of there in about 4.5 minutes. Just don't go!

Melanie Jones, FNP has been treating me and members of my family since she became a NP. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a very friendly bedside manner. I feel very blessed to have her at the helm of my extensive team of medical professionals and specialists which Melanie helped me build. I had very strange symptoms and for ten years searched for a diagnosis. Melanie sent me to the specialists she did and I got the diagnosis I was looking for! She is so dedicated to her patients! Really there's not enough good things I can say. You will be blessed to have her in your corner.

I would go wherever nurse practitioner Jones goes to see her because she's the only one I trust with my health. She is awesome!
