Weinberg Remond Dc - Lifeline Chiropractic Ctr

My wife went to see Mr. Weinberg about bulging disc that she has in L1 and L3-L5 from a car accident last June, when a drunk driver t-boned our 2007 Toyota Camry. The car was totaled and my wife spent 2 days in the hospital.

I want to preface my story with this subtle, but possibly important information. My wife happens to be extremely beautiful, in my opinion of course and also the opinion of the state as she was 1st runner up for Georgia in representing the state for the Miss USA pagent and has been in numerous others a few years - not that many - back, and keeps in top physical shape. I mention this because of what happened here at this office.

She was nervous about going to a chiropractor, but our insurance covered it as Ms. Dana the office assistant told us upon looking it up and spoke in such a friendly and calm manner giving gushing praise that I thought 'OK maybe this will help'.

My wife and I went, I drove her unsure if she was going to need to be sedated or how she would feel afterwards. I just know she was nervous, but I assured her that everything would be OK (she had a horrible exp. with some injections that did more harm than help and so you can see the worry).

When we arrived, we saw the woman from the phone call Ms. Dana and she was certainly one of those - how do you say - eye candy hand picked staffers that professionals tend to have to keep the clients, the male clients, focused on the silicon rather than the actual words being said. My wife looked at her like she said later "...white trash hooker all dolled up with too much makeup and too tight clothes for a 'business woman', with not a lot going on upstairs." Ms. Dana gave us some forms and went back towards the back area.

After filling out the forms another person, this time Mr. Weinberg, the chiropractor showed up giving my wife a hand shake, that she later described as a limp fish shake, and put his arm on her back and ushered her in. I waited I would say about an hour and during that time Ms. Dana had plenty of time to make "flirtatious" and clearly borderline remarks. Maybe she was hitting on me or maybe that is how all the patients get treated. The only other person in the room with us was an elderly woman.

When my wife got out she had a look of horror on her face for a split second and turned it to a smile while I paid the again overly smiling, like she was on something, happy Ms. Dana.
My wife was walking with a limp, that was the first thing I noticed as we got on the slow moving, rather old elevator. She said first a woman who said she was some kind of Dr/Nurse etc., came and tried to loosen her area that happened to be in her lower back near her buttocks.

Then came in Mr. Weinberg who kept referring to himself as Doctor, which I guess in some circles a chiropractor might be, but not an MD life my father and his father who considered chiropractors and homeopathic work, which literally means 'like disease' or 'like suffering' as derived from Latin (sorry for the aside).

Weinberg did his chiropractic pulling and tugging and lifting and spreading my wife's legs as she described it, gently rubbing his hand across her "buttock" and the inner portion of her leg so much that she said as she told me "Doctor the area of injury is not there and this making me uncomfortable." He apologized and said it was part of his job as he gave her a rub on the back. Soon the session was over and my wife feeling violated gave me that look that I get when she is READY to leave. Weinberg tried to sell us what he said were homeopathic remedies and reminded her she should come back in two week. Again with the hard sell as we tried to pay Ms. Dana whom Weinberg had his arm around, giving off that "creepy" feeling.

All I can say is that the relief my wife felt was overwrought by tension and a feeling that we had been taken. Money down the drain. And they are not cheap either and we both make good salaries, me working in Home Building and Renovations and my wife who was a pharmaceutical rep for Watson, but now stays at home raising our two small twin boys.

At this point all I can say is stay away from this creep. My wife actually is still to this day too angry about that man, Weinberg and the whole experience to even write this commentary. As I was looking for new solutions to help her pain from the accident we know this much, if I don't feel safe sending my own wife to this shim-sham type facility, you can only imagine how I would feel sending a stranger.

STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!
