The "doctor" who saw me asked me to have adjustments with no clothing on. They did an adjustment and messed me up SO BAD, my file and bill disappeared.

Scam paid up front

Jul 19, 2013

Went to this company after they came to work and did free massages, went for my "free evaluation". They said they could help me, but then charges me up front.

Never pre-pay for service. They signed me up for interest free credit then charged the card. It took repeated attempts to get a statement from this company. When I did (after months of requesting) I found that they never refunded my card for unused balance.

I am no better and felt I was ran through my treatment like cattle. I compared my bill to another who was receiving treatment and found in some cases were billed 3 times what she was billed.

Used and Abused by chiropractor

Jan 28, 2013

My husband and I were in an auto accident. Went to this place because it was so recommended by a friend, and now we wish we would have used our chiropractor.

Between an extreme number of appointments and a huge fee attached to each one we both realized our insurance wouldn't go far. And when you throw in the vitamins they push, the pillow they push, the support (that would never support anything)you will be broke. And don't even talk to them about coming less often, they will insure you are injured when you leave. In my case I made that mistake twice.

And now they have come up with the brilliant idea that they haven't been paid. And unfortunately for me they didn't always give me a receipt.

Lesson learned I guess. But don't go there, and if you already are, leave and never look back.

Consumer Beware of HealthSource Chiroprator - Kingwood

Jul 16, 2012

I went to HealthSource Chiropractic of Kingwood after I had a car accident in May. I learned the massage therapist on staff were not licensed and had no background in massage therapy. They would literally just start massaging an area without knowing what or why they are doing it.

They had unqualified exercise therapist performing physical therapy duties, I remember I only had one session of the physical therapy "exercise" because there was no one-on-one plan, everyone was doing the same exercises and in a very confined area. I thought if I continued with the sessions, my condition would improve, never happened, I actually felt worse.

When I needed a letter for my insurance that I was receiving treatment, they would not cooperate with me and then began to treat me like I was unwelcomed. I decided that was enough, over thousand dollars later, a lesson learned. Stay away.

Beware if you notify these people that you were involved in an accident what they charge will increase dramatically. They will become more concerned with you getting a lawyer and themselves getting a check.

I have had personal experience with using them as a walk-in, and then went to them following an accident. Felt completely used and abused. What had been a $15-$20 co pay per visit became a $300-$500 an hour treatment plan which I was never told of till I saw the bill. Very dishonest outfit.

They have you sign a virtual blank check for your treatment before they even treat you. Look elsewhere.

Healthsource Chiropractic Franchise SCAM

Sep 23, 2009

For anyone looking to buy a Healthsource Chiropractic franchise; I have one word for you........SCAM! Recently I quit as a massage therapist from a Healthsource in IL.

Everything is scripted; from the greetings you give the patients to the treatment plans. Healhsource has a generic formula that they use on all the patients depending on what issue you have. For instance: if you come in with problems with a stiff neck or a herniated disk in your cervical vertabrae; all the "so called" physical therapy is exactly the same for the two. The exercises and stretches are no different (in a certain area) for the various injuries and illnesses.

The therapy is not tailored to your own specific needs and biomechanics, despite what they tell you. Also many of the massage therapist on staff were not licensed(you have to have a license in IL) and had no background in massage therapy. They would literally just start massaging an area without knowing what or why they are doing it. Also they had unqualified exercise therapist performing physical therapy duties, which is illegal in IL.

The goal of the clinic was to pack as many patients in there at one time and rack up the units per individual. You could be on a tredmill for a 1/2 hr warming-up just so they can bill for an extra unit. You could also be stretching the same muscle for a 1/2 hr, just so they could bill for more "therapy." They also discouraged patients from using the TENS machine because they only get around $20 for each session. Even if the patient could benefit from the EMS, they had they doing exercise and stretching instead because it pays more.

This is not physical therapy or has any relavence for rehab.

What I witnessed was absolutely appalling. This franchise should definitely be investigated for unethical practices.

I was employed as receptionist at the Health Source in Anderson, S. C.

and kept getting excuses for not being paid for over 3 months. The Doctor kept telling me he was waiting for a attorney to pay him on an accident case. Finally I just Quit.

Reported it. Have a Lawyer working with me now trying to recoup salary.

I am was employed by a HealthSource Office..(I quit)I couldnt take the annoyance of the job..The scripts had to be the most annoying..If I wanted to read scripts all day instead of being a human an not a recorded robot, I would of became a actress..We had schedule a screening at a local business to get new patients in, sounds easy enough, but the Dr. made such a big deal about this 3 hr screening..I had to rehearse a 6 page script on what to say to ppl about a simple mini massage an spinal check..He also expected patients to pay for about 6 weeks of treatment on the second visit, which most of the time was in the thousands an in this time of recession an hard times is not feasible for many ppl.

If a patient missed an appt, I can understand one or 2 calls to reschedule but the Dr. had me make several calls an send postcards, I honestly felt like a stalker..There is also something called a EZ report which is printed out everyday, this shows the days statistics. To be honest I hated it..I was reprimanded if a patient didnt make at least 4 weeks worth of appts..I cant force a person to make that many appts. If a patient said to make "Ill make a appt for Tues" an the schedule reconciliation only showed one appt I would be ask on a daily basis "Why did this patient only make one appt?" I wanted on many occasions say to the Dr.

"I dont know why dont u make the appts an ask them urself" an I quit because my boss was as cheap as they came, I had NO medical coverage, NO sick days, NO vacation days, NO 401K, NO BENEFITS..an if my boss decided to take a vacation, I just didnt get paid for that week. If he wanted to take care of something on a business day an took a morning or afternoon off, I DIDNT get paid. :( .

I did all aspects of reception that included making appts, calling patients, sending and receiving mail, taking messages, I did ALL the correspondence mail (The Dr. hardly ever did anything himself besides adjustments..I did the financial consults, I also did all the insurance verifications, I did ALL the billing and accounting, the list goes on...I was also out of my home from 8:30am till 6:30pm for work..ALL that for $11.00 an hour..I was doing the work that usually would be any where from $13-25 an hr..If your looking for employment stay away from there..

Be very wary of becoming a HealthSource franchisee. Healthsource does not have any systems that help you in any way. Once you join you will never see the RD ever again. These are points to ponder before joining.

1. Most people don’t leave because they threaten to sue you if you leave.

2. They have no new systems just newspaper ads which are now useless.

3. They provide no co-op advertising for all of their offices.

4. Most of the large practices that have a marketing CA that that person was trained by the 5 Star NPA program. That is a fact call NPA!

5. They do not do any research in helping you find a location for your practice.

6. They do not know how to manage multiple clinics most RDs never had multiple clinics and have no experience in doing it.

7. The billing software is not eligible for the Government Rebate of 44k. Plus you have to pay extra for the EHR portion bringing the total to close to $600 a month for the software you never own..

8. You do not get anything for your 7% royalty fee no TV commercials, no infomercials, no radio ads.

9. The web page optimization is focused on the corporate website and the site your paying $400 for back doors into the corporate web page with very little information about you or your practice.

10. Call the offices on the map most are leaving, have left, or closed. Call the ones that have been there for 1 year.

11. Look up who owns the www. Healthsource scam.com if it was so good why does the company buy the url for scam???

If your going to go to physical therapy then go to physical therapy. If you Need a chiropractor then go to a chiropractors office.

I am 42 years old and I am going to health source and its not like any therapy I have ever gone to. I WILL NOT TELL ANYONE TO GO THERE. The only reason I'm going is cause my doctor wants me to go through decompression for my neck so he can see my disk 5 6 7 better on a MRI. They give you a set of printed papers with all the exercises on them to do so you can do them even at home.

They don't do like most rehab centers do. If your needing physical therapy or chiropractic! Go to one or the other. They wanted me to pay almost 1000.00 but wait they would give me 10% off if I paid it in full today!

They didn't think my insurance would pay for more than 20 visits. Little did the young insurance girl nitwit know my insurance will approve more with a treatment plan as I go. Also the chiropractor wanted me to come 3 days a week and sometimes the very next day. I told him come on I have been to physical therapy and chiropractic before and you never go daily.

Like I told the chiropractor I'm 42 years old and have been going to a chiropractor starting at age 16 *** I was going when chiropractic wasn't cool LOL, Now its a way of life. Healthsource is all about the MONEY..... And draining your insurance to the max. If you don't know what you need they will say you need more than what you need.

Chiropractic, physical therapy, decompression, tens unit massage even some red light therapy of some sort Oh and dieting and vitamins pillows and ice packs. Whole wellness LMAO I'm sure the list goes on. This is my own thoughts on it, and I'm sure someone will have something to say about my opinion and that's ok cause you most likely own a piece of Healthsource or work for Healthsource. Cause I have been going enough and all the things I have read about it being scripted is true they tell everyone the same thing.

But I'm getting my decompression done and is only costing me 11.00 a visit with insurance. without insurance it would cost me 170.00 or so. So if you have had surgery say your knee.

they don't have bikes or any other equipment you would need for physical therapy......

It is what it is a franchise just like subway etc

I have two herniated disc in my back. Stage one spondylolthesis.

:cry I was told all this in 2009 when I had my first MRI and suffered with this while waiting to finally be approved for disability in 2010. I went to Healthsorce in my state of Oregon. I went to the first one he asked me for over $5000 USD I was to see him for 8 weeks and being seen 3 times a week, telling me I was a perfect candidate for this and he looked forward to working with me.. I didn't have that kind of money I wasn't even able to work so I walked away thinking I was never going to be alright again and in 2010 after I got my disability approved .

I went to a different dr he seems concerned and interested in my getting better, but they also was just wanting the money my medicare paid for the first part of the treatment but they don't pay for Decompression therapy now I know why...:(IT DOES NOT WORK I paid $2500 in cash and the Dr even hurt my back further when he solved the table together and just being on the table being pulled apart you don't know how painful it was to have all that nerves and bones shoved together and all the dr said was I'M SORRY I wasn't able to walk or even move for at least 30 minutes I think all this was a scam and after they for my money and the sessions was over I requested another MRI and I told my medical DR what had happen and she was ok we will do the MRI and the results showed it black and white there was no chance now I know why the Dr in Healthsource clinic was not wanting that MRI because the proof was in the open and I was discourage to ever go back, the office manager was good at her work but was very pushy about collecting the money first. I don't believe in the decompression therapy OR the Healthsource clinics. I do believe in Chiropractic adjustments and exercise was the only part of this that made me feel better. until I was released from his "care".

I still have pain and still in stage one boarder-lining stage 2 of spondylolthesis. and also to come out in the end that I have unstable SI joint I would like some opinions on what I should do about this money I was Conned out of?

what it malpractice on his part when he shoved the table back together. So I had more pain after that...Where do I go from here ?

I feel your pain!! Literally!!

I went to get back surgery and it did not work!!! I want my money back!!

My deductable was $3000!!! Plus the money the ins. paid!!!

It was a tottal of almost $85,000 dollars!! I'm still in pain. I don't care if that surgeon spent 6 hours of his professional time with me, I want guarantees!! It does not matter that I'm overweight, and put on an additional 12 pounds after the surgery, smoke, and never exercise. I want the doctor to take responsibility for my health. Isn't that why we pay them?

This health source sounds like a bunch of charlatans trying to get paid for services rendered to their patients in an effort to get them better no matter what the cost!

How dare they take money!! They should work for free for all I care.

Loritabs are the only thing that helps me. I eat them everyday. Can't function without them. Thankyou Watson 10's!!!
