Message from APEX Chiropractic Wellness Center , Dr. Erin Stark Calaway- Chiropractor

dr stark is the best chiropractor i've ever had. and i am a "chiropractor conneisseur" having been to good ones. i'm a big guy and dr stark is very small. small women tend to do good with me, because their hands are smaller, their fingers are more narrow, so they can get right in there where you are out of alignment. dr stark is very very very precise. she does not give you a big back popping or neck popping, she goes after what needs to be worked on. the whole staff is compassionate, and dr stark very obviously loves what she does, and loves helping people get better. she treats me with compassion and dignity and i absolutely trust her and her abilities. if you just right now fell and messed up your back, they may not be able to work you in right this second -- because she is so popular. her clients obviously love her, there is such a positive vibe going on in there that is conducive to good health. a very funny story -- dr stark is determined! once, my neck would not budge -- i am very hard to adjust. she said "i *want* that to move!" to nobody in particular and i started giggling. she got it to move. i slept like a baby. speaking of babies, she sees babies! i didn't know you could take infants to a chiropractor but one of her patients said it's amazing what chiropractic did for her newborn. dr stark is having her baby any day now, and that kid is going to have the best, most kick-a cool mom in the world. seriously, she is *the best* chiropractor i have been to, and i've been to a lot of really really good ones, and a few lousy ones. she is at the northewest corner of beltline and preston, on beltline right behind the bank. she keeps non traditional hours so you can get in after work. that was the initial selling point for me. plus, she's just so incredibly good at what she does, and her attitude is wonderful. ok, consider this a gushing review, but i have nothing but wonderful things to say about her, and from what i gather, everyone else who sees her loves her too. not just likes but LOVES her. she really is the wonderwoman of chiropractic!

Pros: whipsmart and surgically precise with her narrow fingers

Cons: none, may be hard to get in *right this second*

I have been seeing Dr. Erin for the last two years and last month I got into a car accident. It was actually right after my adjustment in her chiropractic office in Dallas so I was already aligned, which I am sure helped. For the last 4 weeks we have been putting my spine back in place with chiropractic adjustments and coldlaser hterapy for inflammation and muscle spasams. It was so nice to have a regular chiropractor as my doctor because I am 100% better and am back at work without missing a beat. I would recommend Dr Erin Stark, chiropractor in Dallas to everyone. She now has a new DR in house that specializes in ART so perhaps the numbness in my shoulder from an old injury now has an alternative solution as well.

Pros: Has two specialists in house

Cons: none

After seeing my Internal Medicine Physician, having several hip and chest x-rays, a lung scan, and 5 prescriptions later, I was diagnosed as having a pinched nerve in my back which was causing my painful gait, inability to breath, and miserable nights crying from the pain.

I slowly and painfully, limped into Dr. Stark's office, and 30 minutes later, I SPRINTED out of the office - HAPPIER THAN A FAT KID EATING CAKE!

OMG! Dr. Stark explained the proper spinal alignment, examined me, explained why I was having pain in my hip and why I could not breath. I experienced immediate relief from the hip pain because she adjusted my: right and left hips and my sacrum (tailbone)

For my shortness of breath, she adjusted 3 thoracic vertebrae (upper back) and 1 rib. She explained that the rib was pressing into my right lung causing me to not take in as much air as I needed and causing the shooting, stabbing back pains.

Please understand that I studied human anatomy in college and I know that the ribs attach to the spine and the lungs sit on either side of the spine. So when she POPPED that rib back into alignment so I could breathe and not go into a coughing fit, it made perfect sense.

BOTTOM LINE: Dr Stark is highly qualified and capable. She is professional, personable, geniunely sincere and concerned about my health.

As a result of my deep appreciation for her excellent service and wellness care, I have entrusted Dr. Stark with adjusting my daughter who is a Competitive Cheerleader. My daughter was having knee pain and Dr. Stark informed me that she had inflammation of the medial side of her right knee, confirmed that we should see a knee Surgeon and get an MRI.

I have referred 3 people and all are currently being treated by Dr. Stark!

I am truly grateful for Dr. Stark and Shannon, her assistant for their compassion and humbleness. I really enjoy going to Apex Wellness because, my "friends" are their to support and care for me. Woo Hoo!

Pros: Service, Knowledge, Wait Time, Friendliness, Parking, Ambience, Quality of Care

Cons: Nothing - I am completely happy with Apex Wellness

When you body is aching from stress and everyday work, you would be amazed what GREAT chiropractor could do for you. I highly recommend Dr. Erin Stark for your chiropractic needs. I had been to a chiropractor before and was very skeptical after that experience to go back. After one visit with Dr. Stark I was no longer a skeptic. This lady knows what she is doing, as I felt much better after the inital visit and after following her recommendations, I felt 100%!!! I will always use Dr. Stark for my chiropractic needs. She not only helps your body feel better, she is a Doc that truly cares about her patients' well being. Go see her, you will not regret it!

Pros: In and out in a timely manner without feeling overlooked or under treated.

Dr. Stark is AWESOME! She got me straightened up and feeling much better after my first visit, when others couldn't do it after several visits. She is very professional and educates you on what she is going to do and why, before she does it. I highly recommend Dr. Stark she is truly the BEST!!

Pros: Location, Parking, Staff

Cons: None to speak of

Dr. Stark is not only a friendly and caring person, she helps work miracles through her chiropractic practice. After 4 months of intense shoulder and arm pain, I started seeing a physical therapist. Didn't help. Then I saw an acupuncturist, which helped a little, but didn't fully alleviate the pain. After my first visit with Dr. Stark, the parathesia and burning sensations disapated. The pain almost completely disappeared immediately, and within a few days I could type without problems and felt fully functional again. She is amazing!

I go to DR. Erin for hte health of my spine. I have a standing every other week appointment with this fantastic chiropractor. She is fun, funny and really knows how to adjust a man. Try this Northe Dallas Chiropractor before going somewhere else. She is an amazing doctor and person. Call today and tell them you found them on citysearch, it really helps her to know that it's because of clients like us that take the time to tell others is one of the reasons she is so popular!

Pros: Great bed side manner and really cares about you

Dr. Stark is the best! I took my son to see her after he suffered a fairly serious and (obviously) painful neck injury. After having been extremely disappointed in another chiropractor, we were very relieved to see the results Dr. Stark was achieving for my son. He had no real relief with the other doctor after several months
of treatments, but Dr. Stark was able to provide him with immediately and lasting relief after just the first adjustment, and almost total recovery after just a few months. She was more interested in my son's pain--and getting him relief--than she was in our bank account. Her techniques are newer and net much quicker results than he had experienced before. Recently, I also needed her services for a herniated disc. Again, relief was immediate and profound. She's has a fun personality, is very energetic, and she's a whiz at workin' the insurance. We will continue to see her and recommend her to everyone we know. Look no further. This is the one you want.

Staring at computer monitors all day is murder on your neck! You need a good chiropractor to get everything back in alignment and increase the bl00d flow to your brain. If working on a computer all day is giving you a headache or making your back, neck and shoulders feel stiff, I strongly recommend you get adjusted by Dr. Stark, or massaged by the massage therapist in her office. Dr. Erin Stark has made a huge contribution to my overall health and well being. She is exceptional at what she does and you will feel instantly comfortable and at ease while she is adjusting your neck or back.

Pros: Great results, friendly, hours

I started seeing Dr. Stark in March 2008 for a herniated disk in my back. Prior to seeing Dr. Stark, I had been seeing a nuerosurgeon who had performed three epidural steriod injections, a myelogram as well as other forms of pain management. The nuerosurgeon then suggested I have back surgery. I really did not want to undergo back surgery at age 39 so I started seeking other alternatives before actually going under the knife. On the advice of a very good friend, I made an appointment with Dr. Stark. I will admit, I was skeptical at first and honestly I had never been one to believe in chiropractic care. I must however say, seeing Dr. Stark was the best thing I ever did for my back problems. From the very beginning she was very personable and set my expectations. It was going to be a process to get my back in better alignment and out of pain, but I will tell you Dr. Stark made that happen in a very short time. She is wonderful and I am truly so thankful that I made that very first appointment. I am a true believe in chiropractic care. After about three months now....I am virtually pain free and have not had to undergo surgery.

Dr. Stark's office is centrally located and very professional. I would recommend Dr. Stark to anyone that is having not only back problems but any other health issues. Since my body alignment is better, my allergies have cleared as well as a host of other things. I just cannot say home much Dr. Stark has changed my life.

I am back to life now....Thank You Dr. Erin Stark!!!

Pros: Very Professional and Personable!

Cons: None

I have been seeing Dr. Stark for over 3 years and let me tell you, she is a lifesaver. I sit in front of a computer all day and I am a weekend warrior playing football, volleyball, and other sports all weekend and sometimes during the week. These daily grinds tend to jack-up my back and neck. On every visit, Dr. Stark always re-aligns my neck and back, and I get instant relief from all my aches and pains. This is the one and only Chiropractor I trust with my body. Thanks Dr. Stark for everything.

Pros: Instant relief and great customer service

Cons: None

Everytime I go to her I am amazed at how much better I feel! I have a standing every other week appointment with Dr Stark. I do not have any known problems with my spine and want to keep it that way. It's amazing tho, everytime I come in for an adjustment I feel better and I didn't feel bad when I walked in! I feel taller, more relaxed, the other day she popped my ammune system back in place and my allergy head instantly cleared! This is a fantastic chiropractor! You really need to see her. If you have children, they LOVE her! She is funny and smiley and a joy to be around, so if you need to take a child to a chiropractor, take them to her, you will be happy you did :)

Pros: Great with big and little kids :) She has ALWAYS been on time too!

Cons: none
