Most of the time I'm apprehensive to listen to poor reviews. However in this case I fully agree with the others leaving poor reviews. Take heed. Called to ask about insurance and make an appointment. Man who answered said "hello?" "Hi is this vision chiropractic?" "May I ask who's calling?" "Ummm.*gives name*" "and why are you calling?" "I was trying to reach vision chiropractic?" "I understand that.

I get a lot of sales calls and if this is a sales call I'm not interested." I have NEVER experienced such lack of customer service. After I told him I was looking to make an appointment but I think I'm no longer interested his response was "that's fine." NO JOKE. WTH? Maybe time to hire a receptionist if you don't know how to talk to people. Or better yet, maybe time to retire if you're so crotchety.

Working in the field I have had the unfortunate pleasure of trying to deal with this office, I can say that they are the most unprofessional office I in my 11 years have had to deal with. Tip #1 do not leave this office with out your records or X-Rays, no matter who is requesting them, you or another Doctor you will not get them, and it is illegal to refuse to hand them over and it has been reported to the proper authorities. They have also been know to over charge you, even though you have Insurance, so make sure you know your rights, and benefits.

Initially, Dr. Rick assessed my situation manually. He explained how it would be advantageous to take a closer look with X-ray images - no sales pitch whatsoever. Came across an online coupon which he honored w/out hesitation. Took the images and showed me exactly what needed fixing. Started my visits in July 2018 and see him like clockwork every other week.

Show up, get adjusted, and I'm WELL on my way within 20 minutes - no nonsense, in and out. He completely changed my life seemingly overnight. Everytime I leave his office, I walk out just a little bit taller and feeling great! Now, I don't feel a need to crack my own neck and back. Most importantly, I get Good quality sleep and wake up feeling well-rested w/out the pains I used to have. Very thankful and much is appreciated! DR. RICK IS THE MAN!

I am a chiropractic-skeptic. That said, I set up an appointment with Richard Nasif, DO, out of desperation for relief from sciatic nerve pain that had become increasingly unbearable over a period of four months. I couldn't walk more than 10 yards without experiencing excruciating pain. My physician referred me to physical therapy, and after a course of 20 sessions, I realized PT could not provide any help at all. (The therapists were very well-informed and competent, but PT just didn't work for me.) A friend reported that 2-weeks of Alleve gave her enormous relief--again no help.

After my sixth session with Dr. Nasif, I knew I was on the right track. Finally, my pain was diminishing to the point of inconvenience rather than incapacitation. Given my progress so far, my expectation after the seventh session is that I will be fully or nearly-fully recovered.

I have nothing but a good experience. I had have had some type of back issues most of my life, and Dr. Nasif has been able to help with that. He has always been very thorough, especially during the X-ray. I am in and out of his office very quickly when getting an adjustment. I believe because he is good at what he does, and after he does the adjustment what the hell else is there to do.

We have polite conversation while he does the adjustment, then it's time to go. Perfect! I don't want to hang out in the office all day anyways. I signed up for the 1 year contract due to my pain. At first I was concerned, but after realizing how often I could go, 2-4 times a week, I figured it was time I spent some money on my spine health.

He has been very good, to the point that he fit me in on a Sunday because I was having so much back pain. No other doctor, chiropractor, dentist, etc. would do that. I am very happy with his professionalism and feel the time he has dedicated to me is appropriate for the service I am in need of.

This is the same style chiropractor I am used to - no electrodes! I was out of work five days straight and Dr Rick got me back to work the next day, he helped me stand straight again!

Bought one of their $20 exam specials that included a full assessment with x-rays from a health fair in my school district. For the most part, the people involved were fine and not the issue. The cost and the push to get me to sign on for a long-term plan was. It was a hard sell that ultimately led to my return to my regular, trusted chiropractor.

Once I did that, another issue arose: upon request from my current chiropractor, Vision Chiropractic would NOT send over MY x-rays. After numerous requests (my first visit was Nov. 2016), the receptionist at my current doctor filed a complaint with the Consumer Affairs Dept. To this day, she STILL does not have my x-rays - the ones I paid for initially at the health fair.

And yes, while I did get a very good deal for that $20, they know it's a loss-leader and may not work to their benefit. In my case, it didn't. However, that's no reason not to do what is right - both ethically AND legally.

Horrible experience. In the past they were at October fest and I met them there. They had a booth. When I went there the chiropractor he was very rude when he looked over my paper work. He said is this a joke. I said excuse me? He didn't even allow me to explain my condition or why I was seeking care. He was so rude. I have never had an experience like the one I had there. I would never recommend this chiropractor to anyone I'm so thankful I found a chiropractor in mission valley that is kind and cares.

Only sees you if he takes an x ray that you pay for, but are not allowed to keep. Cares more about getting paid then helping people. Fraud, should lose his license. Not the type who cares.

I've had back problems for about the last year and while I was walking around a local fair, I took advantage of their free screening. They offered a great deal; $300 dollars for a full set of X-rays and comprehensive exam. I thought this is exactly what I need. Dr. Nasif was pretty thorough with the examination and his setup takes you through an adequate explanation of back issues pretty clearly.

The moment it goes south is when you find out he doesn't take your insurance and you're not excited to sign up for a year contract and spend $1000s of dollars. He's real quick to kick you out about that time. And if you dare ask for a copy of YOUR x-rays or exam records for by God a second opinion. he is quick to call you unscrupulous (his words) for daring to take advantage of the deal he offered just to get an exam and x-rays. THAT's the whole point. I highly recommend you stay as far away from this chiropractor if possible. They are not about your health, they are about your money.

For quite a few years I was experiencing shoulder pain issues. With the slight success of physical therapy, I checked again with the PA regarding pain in my right shoulder which limited my reaching back or up. She ordered an x-ray of my shoulder, and then referred me to an orthopedic surgeon. He diagnosed my problem as a tear of the rotator cuff, gave a corticosteroid injection and ordered physical therapy.

The injection relieved some pain, and the PT treatments helped, but did not completely eliminate the ongoing pain. I started looking for alternative solutions until I found Dr. Nasif. With only 2 treatment sessions I started feeling relief in my shoulder.

Being born with a defect in my neck, I wasn't able to have a full range of motion, which was really upsetting. I went to countless doctors and they said attempting an operation wouldn't be the case and that later in life this problem will go away on its own. Being 27 already and being told those 10 years ago, I wasn't going to put up with all of this babbling anymore.

I look up for chiropractic services and found Dr. Rick and immediately scheduled an appointment with him. When we met, he was very friendly and I told him what my problem was. He looked at me like really understanding what this is all about and then laid me down on the table. He started with a gentle massage of the neck area, he just put my neck in place if I can say that.

He twitched it somehow and the pain was finally gone. I was left speechless. It's the most amazing thing I've ever experienced and would definitely recommend him to anyone. Just wow.

Dr. Nasif is the absolute best. I know I would not be alive without his treatments, recommendations, positive support.

Bad. This had been the 3rd chiropractor I had seen in my life. No only was the "services" the chiropractor provided sub-par compared to the previous ones (massage, heat-cold, etc), they were extremely short. But there's more. I signed up for a contract, under the impression it was going to be month-to-month, but it was actually 1-year. After the 1st month, when I felt like these treatments were doing more damage then good, I decided to pull out but they pulled the one year clause out on me.

I was in the middle of purchasing a house and couldn't risk any bad credit situation so I ended up paying him a portion of whatever was left over. Furthermore, I did show the contract to an attorney, and he informed me that it was unenforceable, but the prospect of my escrow being compromised was too big of a risk for me to waste my time on this business.

No stars. This company solicits clients through events, my son's exam was solicted through Oktoberfest, and then and tries to convince you to sign up for a year of treatments at a discounted rate. I told them no I would not agree to any service for my adult son that was not covered under his insurance and I made this clear several times. They told me he was insured and kept telling my adult disabled son that his insurance was coninuing to cover him over a 4 month period.

I paid his copays for him. They called me yesterday and told me that they made a mistake he is not insured and I have to pay the rest, that they had been accepting payments from the insurance for a man with the same same name and a different birthday tha live in Colorado. His DOB is on the card we provided them and is correct in the insurance system, either they really made an big error and either comitted insurance fraud or they have been lying to me the whole time to ge him to come in for treatments.

The Doctor admits that I made it clear to him on several occassions I did not and would not approve or pay for any treatments not covered by insurance. Stay clear of tis place, if they can't convince you to pay for their service out of pocket they wlll lie and tell you, you are covered by insurance and months into the service tell you oops we mader a mistake you owe us 600 dollars more due to our neglect and dishonsty.

Vision Chiropractic has brought me to a point of being pain free! Suffering from chronic neck and shoulder pain, within 5 months I have become more flexible and can maneuver around so much easier! Am I happy with the service? YES! Am I happy with the overall attentiveness given by Dr. Rick? YES! Dr. Rick and his staff genuinely care about your well being and they will work around your schedule if necessary.

I'm feeling so great this last month or so and I owe it all to Dr. Rick and his great care of me. I highly recommend Vision Chiropractic to any that suffer from minor to major pain. You will not be sorry!

I met Dr. Rick Nasif two years ago when my back was so bad, the physical therapist told me I would need three massages a week for a year to get it back in shape. I began seeing Dr, Rick for adjustments and have never felt better. I completed the first year's contract, which was explained very clearly and made a lot of sense (not to mention cents!).so much so that I signed up again for the second year and am about to sign for a third year.

My husband, who was going to another doctor, switched to Dr. Rick and is very happy, too. We have an incredible family plan that also includes our teenage daughter, who is active in sports. Healthwise, we feel so much better! I have not even had a cold in two years! The office staff, Leslie and Jordan, are so friendly and competent and make it so easy to set appointments around our crazy schedules. If you are looking for a chiropractor, Dr. Rick is the one to see!

My husband works construction and really needed chiropractic care and let me tell you, it's working great and he's already showing such an improvement! The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. I don't understand why the ratings are so bad! My guess is that the person who left the one star review probably signed up for a plan and didn't honor their agreement so take their review with a grain of salt.

In no way are you OBLIGATED to sign up but if you are someone who needs corrective care, like my husband, of course they are going to encourage you to choose a plan because it ensures them of your future business and it HELPS YOU and your wallet. Don't let 2 bad reviews from a few years ago impact your decision to at least check this place out and see if it works for you.

It really bothers me that I even have to give this place even 1-star, but it won't let me but zero stars! To start with, all this place is interested in is getting you committed to a package scam, and in reality I didn't need or want that. They really tried to hard-sell me on that, which is a huge turn-off. The Dr (I guess he's a doctor) is a little (well, a lot) kreepy and he touched me in ways that made me feel uncomfortable and that I thought were inappropriate considering the nature of my visit. Overall, I would not recommend this place and I am going to try to find a better chiropractor in the area. STAY AWAY!

To a certain degree I agree with the previous person. However they are very thorough with the exam and gave me free x-Rays. I was somewhat satisified with my adjustments. However they do want you to lock into a year contract that will bring your cost down to something like $25 a visit. But do you plan on needing adjustments once a week for a year?

As i remember once you go thru the one year contract you will have a permanent rate with no contract. This might be good for some, but not me, so I declined to go with their one year contract. You might contact them and ask some questions regarding their terms and rates, but they might want you to come in first.
