Mc Intosh Gale - Holistic Physical Therapy

I had lower back ache when I started going there. I still have it but I am seeing another physiotherapist now. The only thing she knows is crack your body knuckles. Also, she sees 2-3 patients at the same time in different rooms so she is never paying 100% attention to your problem. First, she told me that heating could be bad. Then next time she was seeing another patient at the same appointment time as mine and put me on heating for 30 mins plus when she came back the only thing she had to say was.. I will put on another cold therapy for another 25 mins. In the first visit, she also mentioned that she would tell me some exercises for back but she had nothing to offer next time. I believe she is just trying to make money by heating and cold therapy machines.

The staff is a big lier. They said that they take Aetna and is fully covered. But when I got the EOB from insurance, I was supposed to pay her $230 for 1 visit which was nothing but heat and cold therapy. I would not recommend her at all. Good luck with your visit if she turns out to be good for you.

Holistic Physical Therapy Clinic blends physical therapy, chiropractic care, and osteopathic myofascial techniques into an approach to good health emphasizing the connection of mind, body and spirit. <p>
With over twenty-two years experience as a physical therapist, eleven years as a chiropractic doctor and ten years using osteopathic soft-tissue techniques, Dr. McIntosh offers a multi-disciplinary approach to healing. <p>
Gale is a rare gem among doctors these days. She genuinely cares about ridding you of pain and explores your problem as a unique individual, not a textbook case. Her holistic approach is great for people in Silicon Valley who have let work dominate their lives to the extent of causing chronic pain, malnutrition, anxiety, sleep disorders, etc. Gale will work with you to manage your pain (massage, ultrasound, adjustments, and more), but also seek to identify the underlying causes of your trouble(s) and put you on a path to a healthier, happier lifestyle.

PROS: Experience, Skill, Passion, Enthusiasm...and also accepts insurance!
CONS:
