I'm a veteran coming to this practice under referral from the VA and I have been dealing with back and neck pain my entire life. I have uncomfortably tolerated it. Coming here and meeting Dr. Block and staff, I was absolutely AMAZED at how professional, personable and knowledgeable this outfit is. Only 4 sessions into my referral plan and I almost in tears (of joy!) at how much better I feel. With my adjustments + massage therapy, the difference has been night and day.
I have been able to try numerous massage therapists and this time, I was booked with Samson. Let me tell you something, this gentlemen is BEYOND knowledgeable and it was a plus that we both shared a military background. Throughout the session, he not only unlocked muscle fibers I never knew I had, he educated me while he was doing it which I never had any massage therapist do. I am so blessed to have found this place and I cannot recommend it enough.
If you are in pain, and you want to experience how good your body can truly feel. Come visit Dr. Block and his well coordinated team. You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you so much to Dr. Block and his team! I look forward to my upcoming sessions!

I absolutely love Dr. Block! I have been skeptical of chiropractic care my entire life but my back pain was so bad that I was willing to try anything. Three different people recommended Dr. Block and I am so glad they did! It has been a game changer for me. He is very personable and professional. Most importantly, I've had great results. The office staff is also super nice. Their hours are very convenient too.

After 4 weeks of seeing Dr. Block, I find myself with much less pain and a notable increased mobility. Last week I was able to vacuum my whole house (upstairs and down) without breaks due to pain. I even changed the bed sheets without having to ask my husband for help. Haven't been able to do that for almost a year. It dawned on me that I didn't need to take Motrin or use my heating pad this past week as well.
I am excited over this progress and cannot wait to be completely pain free. My husband made me realize that I am not limping as I walk into and out of stores now. He tends to wait in the car while I do shopping etc.

I had seen several Chiropractors before I found Dr Block, which has been my Chiropractor for several years now. I had several back and neck injury's over the years (66 years) and Dr Block's treatments has made a big difference with the pain that I suffer from. One time I was in very bad pain (having trouble walking) his front office personel worked it out so I could see Dr Block ASAP. He did a adjustment on me then told me to make sure to come back in a few hours so he could make sure my back and neck feeling ok if not he would do another adjustment, it was the day before a holiday and wanted to make sure I was ok for the weekend (always thinking of the patients well being).
His office personel are always so pleasant and helpful, going the extra step for the patients. And all the Physical Therapist are really good and very knowledgeable about the body. The therapy really helps along with Dr Block's adjustments it really helps.

I've been to this practice three times. The first time I was seen by Dr. Block, which was my best experience. I was also in my 3rd trimester at the time. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and caring. The second experience was with a woman, whom name I don't remember. I'm not sure where it went wrong, but about a week after I had my alignment, I had a consistent dull pain in the middle of my back that gradually progressed upward to my neck over a period of about 2-3 months.
It eventually completely went away, but I was worried throughout the time not knowing why it happened. My last experience I specifically requested Dr. Block and it was better than my second visit, but not my first. The reason for that was it felt like a rushed appointment and I left feeling like I was "just an appointment." Overall though, it's a nice practice and I would recommend if a little more care and concern were noticeable.

I took my newborn to get adjusted after getting so many recommendations for reflux and specifically, Dr. Callahan! Absolutely amazing experience. She was very knowledgeable and explained what she was doing and why, plus she gave me things to do at home between visits! Can't wait to take my daughter back.

Our family has been with Block Family Chiro for over three years now and we absolutely love this office. All of the doctors and office staff are fantastic. They've seen me through two pregnancies, newborn adjustments and everything in between. But what sets this office apart from the others we've been to is their genuine desire to see our family thrive and flourish. They fully invest in their patients' health and well-being and not just the aches and pains we walk in with.
My son took some of his first steps here, shared his first words with the Drs., and the staff were the first to hold my daughter after leaving the hospital. There are no words to describe how special this office is to us. They have been a vital source as we navigate through the different seasons of parenthood. They say, "It takes a village." We are grateful to have this office as part of ours.

I've been going to Block Chiropractic for 15+ years and highly recommend! He and his team have done great things for my quality of life with adjustments and helpful tips. I also recommend using their massage therapists to stretch out those muscles and alleviate pain. I always feel better when I leave.

My family has been patients at Block Family Chiropractic for over 15 years. Dr. Block and his team of doctors are very knowledgeable, professional and personable. They each offer a different style of adjustment, allowing patients to choose their own preference. They ALL go above and beyond to provide exceptional care. Aaron and her administrative team are amazing at running the front office of this very busy practice.
They greet all patients with a smile and are always willing to help with appointments, therapy schedules and billing questions. Block Chiro also offers massage therapy and is now offering evening hours which is very convenient for those who have busy schedules during the day. Over the years, Dr. Block has helped my family through vertigo, back and sport injuries and car accidents with his healing hands. Weekly adjustments keep us fit and healthy and allow us to live a very active lifestyle. I highly recommend Dr. Block and his team, they are awesome!

Started seeing Dr. Block at 35 weeks pregnant and honestly wish I had sooner! He is so personable and has made the whole experience wonderful. I am so much more comfortable and have been able to sleep and work easier since being adjusted. His front office staff are also super friendly and helpful.

LOVE Dr Block and his team everyone is so personable! You can tell they love what they do. I have to give a special shout out to the ladies. Dr. C is AMAZZIINNGGG! She makes me feel brand new after each adjustment. Hands down the best! Dr. Keitza has also adjusted me a few times and when she adjusts my rib that is out of place I feel like i'm back in the game. You have no idea! Her suggestion about sleeping holding a pillow has helped tremendously since I am a side sleeper. If you are in pain RUN, don't walk to schedule an appointment! They have been such a blessing!

Have been coming to Dr Block for years and years. He has a Chiro team that is AMAZING! My favorite thing about his office is having many physical therapists in house at the same location. The massages are a wonderful addition to the adjustments! Everyone is friendly, it's clean and we will continue to be patients!

The staff is absolutely amazing! I've been a patient for years. If there's an indication of how much I love their office, I now live in California and I am still a patient at their office. Dr Block is amazing! The other Doctors are as well. The staff is warm and friendly. I love my massage therapist! I always feel 1000% better when I visit.

I was very impressed by the entire experience at this Chiropractic office! This was my first time ever at a chiropractor. They were so welcoming, friendly, informative, upbeat, and professional. Would recommend them to anyone! After only one visit, my entire body feels better. Even my ears are unclogged from previous sinus drainage. I was pretty shocked to see the improvement after only one visit.

I have known Dr Block for years (the computer store where I used to work services their computer systems). Until my first visit I was "skeptical" of Chiropractic's effectiveness. My first visit changed my mind and I have found myself actually NEEDING adjustments more and more regularly. It is 100% effective and it's amazing how much of a difference something so quick and simple actually is. Dr Block is amazingly effective and extremely personable!!!

My daughter Melissa, recommended Dr. Donner & it was the best decision I made to go there. With a history of bad migraines, I have only had one since I been going & that one was minor, no meds needed to treat it. I also had neck pain prior & none since I been going to Dr. Donner. She is very good & knows her patients & what is needed to help make them feel better. Thank you Dr. Donner, I have already recommended you to my friends.

I am from Ohio and had twisted by back while visiting family in Cheasapeake. I needed help and got in quickly to Dr. Block's office. He treated me (affordablle) and even told me to come back later in the day for additional treatment at no charge, with I did. The office also offers a muscle therapy (with Pam) which I did do, and it made all the difference as I needed to be in a condition to drive 11 hours back to Ohio. Highly recommended, office staff is great too!
