Utterly useless and as other chiropractors I've consultated have said, unethical practice. Do not be fooled getting X-rays at his clinic, not only are they $150 (and he doesn't inform you that you can actually get them free bulk billed if you go to QScan), they are POORLY DONE- I had to get them redone (again free, bulk billed) somewhere else. He withholds needed adjustments just to get you back. I left in tears because I was still in pain, went to another chiro who was half the price and relieved pain immediately.
WORKS FOR ME!! I have found the treatment to be very helpful. My headaches have been much less frequent and severe, and often a headache will go away right after an adjustment. At the start he told me what he could fix, what he could help and what he could not help with. I did what he suggested, which included strengthening exercises and weekly visits at first, which quickly reduced to monthly. I was a bit sceptical of chiro at first but it seems to be working for me and other patients I see there seem to be quite satisfied as well. I would say it is well worth trying out for a month or two and see if you don't get exactly the results Dr Patrick says you will.
The 'doctor' makes you go through a three step process: 1) Attend an appointment where he insists on xraying you 2) Attend a second appointment with a bunch of other patients. He puts everyone's xrays on screen and points out what is wrong with them. He then takes everyone away and cracks everyone in front of the general waiting room. That's right, you get cracked in front of everyone. Oh and did i mention that these second appointments are SET and you have to show up at his designated second appointment times? 3) You have another appointment to be cracked in public. The same people who were are your second appointment will be there. Then you get to come back once a week for god knows how long. Never again will I return to this guy. He speaks at you like he's reading a script. He also has a computer to read out the names of patients awaiting their public crackings. So he clicks on a name and it reads it out for him like it's too hard for him to read it out himself. Never again. Don't be fooled by his cheap $27 first appointment with bulk billed Xrays - all xrays are supposed to be bulk billed.
HE LISTENED TO ME. I've seen a number of chiropractors and whilst some have been good and other not-so-much, Dr. Patrick was the first to actually listen to my concerns and fix the problem. Other chiros seem to be more interested in correcting my 'pattern' but I went to Dr.Patrick with a specific issue and he addressed it. I live on the Gold Coast and am happy to drive the hour in traffic to see the team at Morningside. Thanks Patrick and keep up the good work.
