Patient Testimonials

Alberta Party Bland  
Regarding Your Improvement:

1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
When I began treatment with QVC, my neck was in such serious pain I was having trouble functioning during my daily routines, getting headaches and just turning my head was very difficult. On each side of my neck, the muscles were so tight; it felt like rocks were implanted under my skin!
Shortly after starting my neck treatment, I injured my back. I barely could walk. It was so bad at one point I fainted from the pain! I was sure I was going to be laid up for weeks as I had experienced in the past.

2. How is it now?
Within a few DAYS, there was a marked improvement. I can turn my head now without piercing pain AND MY BACK is back to normal!! Within one week, Dr. Pete had my body feeling better than it had it years, with no medications or poisons in my system. No temporary fixes and no insurance milking. I can’t put into word how impressed I am with his services.
And, as a plus Dr. Pete is dedicated to educating his patients about wellness and the procedures he conducts. This allows the patient to make informed decisions about their care. That is rare in today’s medical world.

Domingo Diaz

I was having problems with walking and bending over without pain.

2. How is it now?
Wow! I feel better compared to the first time I came to Dr. Pete. I can lift heavy things now without pain. Before I couldn’t sleep well because the pain would wake me up in the middle of the night. Now I can sleep uninterrupted.

Donna Conley
Regarding Your Improvement:

1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
Extremely bad, lots of pain.

2. How is it now?
Much improved. The pain is there but no nearly as bad and flare-ups are infrequent.

3. Clinical Notes:
Donna came to us after going through physical therapy after a car accident. (The PT did very little for her.) After a series of visits with Chiropractic Manipulation, Diathermy and Interferential Electrotherapy, she started to get relief. She has since graduated to occasional "maintenance" visits, and is doing much better.

Eileen Appleton
Regarding Your Improvement:

1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
My life was going down hill and no one could tell me why.  My heart was beating to fast when I exercised causing extreme exhaustion.  They were talking about a pace maker, and other “extreme measures”. 

2. How is it now?
Now I am still working with my physicians to determine if they can better regulate my prescription medications.  However, my quality of life has improved dramatically from the time I started here.  I am no longer dependent on my walker, I have less nagging complaints of muscle pain, headaches, fatigue and feel better throughout my days.

My friends have noticed that I am no longer dependent on a mid day nap.  I have problems with my lazy leg less frequently.  The most important difference is that when my “family crud” problems act up I know with Dr. Pete’s help that the time will be substantially shorter.  My visits to Dr. Pete keep me on the road to a full and happy life.

Maria Fish
Regarding Your Improvement:

1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
For the last 21 years I suffered with neck pain and headaches. And I was afraid to try a chiropractor because I didn’t want to get my neck “cracked”. And it all seemed to come from my low back which used to bother me a lot too. My husband never knew me without the neck pain and headaches.

2. How is it now?
I can’t remember the last time I had a headache. My husband says that I am doing better than he ever remembers.

Marlon McNab
Regarding Your Improvement:

1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
I have been involved in two rear-end accidents and worked the airline business. My back was injured in both cases and I have visited Chiropractors and was still in pain. I could not sleep properly, could not sit too long, had back pain and annoyed my wife snoring!!

2. How is it now?
Now my wife has no complaints. I sleep better even on my back for longer periods of time. I sit longer and feel much better. I greatly appreciate the improvement. I thought I would forever suffer but now there is hope. Thanks

Paul Cromwell
Regarding Your Improvement:

1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
I had pain in hand, wrist, elbow and neck. The intensity was a 7. I’ve been getting treatment for several months; I’m down to once every six weeks.

2. How is it now?
Now I have no discomfort at all. Everything is normal & perfect.

Teri McGinnis
Regarding Your Improvement:

1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
I had never been to a Chiropractor until I was in a car accident.  I needed help immediately so I came to Dr. Pete.   I hurt so bad I could hardly walk. I had severe pain in my neck, back, hips, legs and jaw.  I developed a chronic headache and my right hand was numb, I was scared.  Dr. Pete saw me everyday including Thanksgiving.  In addition to my injuries I also suffered from arthritis, respiratory ailments and general weakness.

2. How is it now?
I am now 93% well from my injuries.  Any time I experience low back pain I shift my weight like Dr. Pete taught me.  The Cold Laser “healed” my arthritis in my finger, the Diathermy has improved my lungs I haven’t had one respiratory infection this year, the Power Plate has strengthened my back, legs and arms and the posture pump got rid of my headaches.  Florida Orthopedic told me to continue my care with Dr. Pete that everything he is doing is working!

Viviana Martinez
Regarding Your Improvement:

1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
I had constant back pain. I’m always sitting down for classes and the pain became so bad that I couldn’t sit down for more than 20 minutes. Then I realized I had a problem when I had to start taking medications for the pain.

2. How is it now?
I’m glad I went to the Taste of Tampa and met Dr. Pete. I hardly have any pain at all. And I swear I’ve grown an inch more… I’ve also decreased my anxiety and therefore my food cravings decreased… I’m losing weight!! I believe this is due to adjusting my back correctly.
