Dr .Debra block is a miracle worker. She didn’t just help me
with my physical problem, but with my mental problem too.
For a long time I hated being tall. Starting from the 5th
grade, I was very unhappy because I always stick out and not
blend in. This made me feel ashamed of myself, I started
bending down and hunch over so I would appear shorter like
my classmates. Eventually I developed scoliosis; this means
if the problem wasn’t fixed with physical therapy, I would
have to have surgery.
My mom took me to Dr. Block; she started
working on my back twice a week. I did everything she said,
determined to regain my posture. Within three months my
spine shifted by 40 degrees; this was considered as an
overachievement by Children’s Hospital. It meant I wouldn’t
need surgery anymore. My whole life completely changed.
Dr. Block didn’t only shape my spine but she shaped my whole
future, my life.
I now walk straight and appreciate who I
am. Even though I am still taller than most of my classmates
(7th grade) I feel proud and confident. Nobody I’ve ever met
bothered about feelings or anything mentally that can result
to a problem. Dr. Block really cares about me and what has
an impact on me. With her I could be comfortable with
anything. There is just something special about her that
makes her feel like family, and NOT “just a doctor”.
If I was to become a model, God knows I
would look back to Dr. Block who put an entrance to my
dream, my career, and my life
Thank you soooooooooo much.

Dr. Block is genuinely concerned about her patients and
their well-being. She was the first medical professional
that we saw who was able to look at the big picture and
provide an external impartial assessment of my wife's
overall condition, treating the whole patient, rather than
just the spine. Going to Dr. Block was the first step in
turning the corner on an otherwise intractable series of
pain problems. Seeing Dr. Block treat my wife so effectively
has made me a patient as well.

My first experience with Dr. Block was in August 2004.
Following a car accident, I was referred to a local
chiropractic office by my lawyer. I had never been to a
chiropractor before. I was in pain from the accident, and
nervous about what to expect. I was immediately put at ease
by Dr. Block. She definitely cares about her patients. Prior
to treating me, she spent time asking me questions about my
accident and symptoms. I never felt rushed or intimidated by
her. Her treatment had me feeling much better within a
couple of months (after suffering from serious back issues
from the car accident). In February 2009, I was in need of
chiropractic care again. I returned to the location in which
I was originally treated. I found out that Dr. Block was no
longer there. I was disappointed, but decided to stay and
get treatment by another doctor. I was not happy with the
care and treatment that I received. In January 2010, I went
online and searched for Dr. Block. Upon finding her new
office location [she had opened her own business], I made an
appointment with her for lower back pain issues. As busy as
she was, she immediately fit me into her schedule. I was
happy to see that there was no change to the excellent care
and treatment that she provides. Because she is so good, her
schedule is extremely busy. But she cares about her
patients, so she typically works through lunch every day and
stays way past her closing time in order to make sure that
her patients are cared for. I continue to see Dr. Block for
regular monthly maintenance care for my back issues. She is
the best, and I would highly recommend her!

I was skeptical about the efficacy of chiropractic
care. When back pain got in the way of running and daily
activities, I gave Dr. Block a try. I am now a believer!
Thanks to Dr. Block, I'm back to distance runs with comfort
and confidence. Hip and back pain no longer have control if
my life.

Fantastic! Dr. Block really takes time to understand
what you are experiencing and its’ impact on your everyday
life. Then she encourages that improvement. I have more
mobility and less back pain that I have had in a decade. I
have renewed hope, and I am back to enjoying life to its’
fullest!

Over the years I have sought relief in many ways,
with temporarily relief. I noticed an improvement very
quickly with chiropractic care. Within a month, my chronic
upper back pain totally disappeared (something a year and a
half of physical therapy could not achieve).

“After having my second baby I had lots
of hip and lower back pain that would not go away. She [Dr.
Block] is a wonderful doctor who cares about you as a person
and really works to do whatever she can to get you better.
She also tries to address lifestyle changes that may help
you get better. They make you feel like a friend instead of
just another member to see.” – Kim O. (Physical Therapist)

“ ……..I injured my lower back on a job
site. Dr. Deb, as my wife and I call her, has been a God
send to us both. Dr. Deb has outstanding skill in her
chiropractic care of her patients, but as important to me is
her bedside manner. Dr Deb has the ability to put you at
ease with her warm, outgoing personality. The staff as well
as Dr. Deb herself make you feel welcomed and cared for.”

"Dr Block help me get back on my feet after a serious
flare up from a chronic lower back issue that I have been
struggling with for the past 5 years. Dr Block's expert
manipulation, care and advice helped my back to heal
quickly. I was able to enjoy my vacation in Disney with my
energetic 7 and 4 year olds and be on my feet all day
without pain. Since then, Dr Block has helped me maintain
good back and neck care. Her studio is welcoming, modern and
clean. A wonderful hydro-massage bed is also available to
her clients. I highly recommend Dr Block's practice to
anyone with neck and back issues.

I had injured my neck several times since childhood
and when I hit my head about 2 years ago I did not attribute
my shoulder and arm pain to my neck. After X-rays, my
regular doctor prescribed less movement of my neck, don’t
look up if it hurts, and pain killers/muscle relaxers. I did
not like the side effects of the prescriptions so I needed a
different solution. My quality of life was diminishing and
my family could tell. I could not keep up with my teenage
boys and preteen daughter. I had put off seeing a
chiropractor for several years. Now just after 3 months of
treatment with Dr. Block; I am able to look up without pain,
no shoulder pain while driving or exercising, my knees don’t
hurt while sitting. I am riding a 900cc motorcycle, chopping
wood and using my chainsaw again. My teenage sons can’t keep
up with me. After 8 hours at the office, I get home and look
forward to doing projects around the house. I am rejuvenated
man. I am 48 years old and feel like 38 again when I built
our house.

Comfortable, accommodating and effective. She worked
around my growing belly bump and always made me relaxed and
comfortable. Labor was ALSO so much easier this time.

“They do not get any better than Dr. Block. Fantastic
Doctor! The only one I have met that cares more about her
clients than the bottom dollar. She works with integrity, a
trait missing in most chiropractic clinics I have
encountered."
