Do not go here. This man is a thief and a scam artist. Has reviews that aren't even for this business up as long as it's 5 stars? lol Would a legitimate businessman also need his family to leave a 5 star review because your bad business practices leave you with dissatisfied customers leaving legitimate 1 star reviews? Do better.

They are fantastic and have helped me my daughter Elaina AKA Lainey bug Started taking her to Butch when she was 4 or 5 she was born with severe pulmonary stenosis and 3 holes in her heart and had surgery at 3 weeks and 4 days old the Doctors told us they needed to widen the valve to let more blood through and when they went in the valve was worse then they thought. I was having a horrible time feeding her and she had turned blue on us 4 different times before the surgery witch I documented.
The surgery was done through the groin with a balloon procedure and when she came out her skin tone completely changed and they decided to keep her overnight. What I want to convey is this Doctor's told me she would small and under weight and sickly. This is what Butch did for are entire family! My daughter Elaina's holes all closed the Doctors were absolutely stunned it was was unheard of to have all holes close on there own and by the way she is 5""9 tall and a very healthy looking girl and has graduated and has her Masters Degree from Sienna Height's University! Elaina even when little would tell us I need to see Butch! Butch gave us a healthy child and forever grateful!

I started seeing Dr. Plentz when I was younger my mom had to take me because I could not move my neck. Fast forward about 20 years and I continue to see Dr. Plentz. Something else Chiropractic Care has helped me with is my allergy since being adjusted I don't have nearly as many issues as I used to with my allergies. I have not been on any medication for them and I used to take medication daily and have to get shots weekly. Also since my son was born he has been adjusted weekly, he just turned 9 and I can count on my hands how many times he has been sick. So thankful for Chiropractic care.

Totally agree with the previous reviewer, This guy is a used car sales man. Ive been getting chiropractic care for over 20 years and have never experienced a place so push to come back so often. Also not really interested in paying for some over priced digital X-rays that are "mandatory" at their practice. When I advised I was able to provide detailed MRIs in different formats for compatibility issues was told that their X-rays would be better.

Keeps wanting you too come back to often and I think he has terrible bed side manners rather crude for a so called professional. I'm going back to my old chiropractor and suggest you do the same
